CANADIAN OPINIONS THE UNITED STATES
We frequently meet with rather amusing remark
on the institutions and people of the United States
in the Canadian newspapers. The close neighbor
hood OF republican country, and the annoyin,
spectacle which ii presents of happy and prosper
GUS people, who govern themselves, are exceeding
iy vexatious to the suppliant tools of British dom
nation and mis-rule in the provinces" Hence
they are constantly letting off their spleen and ha

So far from the view which this poor blockhead,
who evidently knows about as much of grammar

United States being correct, do not believe that
one intelligent, unprejudiced foreigner could be
found, who, after proper examination, would not
be ready to express his surprise at the unexamped

laws which distinguishes in such an extraordinary

merely trivial ebulltions OF the feeling of the mo-

pressure of despotIc rule is on the people, and
then the flames OF rebellion are ever and anon
bursting forth, and threatening the whole land
with destruction. But there is hope for the mis-

due reward, and the people will be set free

worthy Mayor. The temperance cause, indie

leve, mere sincere and ardent well-wisher to the
good cause than he is. For instance, last night
the Fountain in the Park underwent thorough
cleaning, all the water being drawn of, &c. To-
day the Fountain will have some hundred dppers
arranged around the rm'of the basin to supply the
thirsty with pure.water-so that there will be no
excuse for rum drinking in the neighborhood Of the
Park, to aid which upwards of five tons OF ice is to
be thrown into the basin, that it will be cool,
