CANApA.-The Kalida Venture. a
thorough-going democratic journal, in
speaking of the annexation Of Canada
to the United States, makes use of the
following remarks.
Some of the whig journals talk sneer-
ingly of annexing Canada. A few years
ago when such an event looked proba-
bic. no such idea was prominent in
their minds; and we charge them not
to be TOO precipitate. Unlikely as such
an event appears, we feel as certain as
we do of our existence, that we of this
generation will be called upon to de-
eide the question; and then it may be
recolIected that they once pretended to
approve it. Let any one take up the
map and look at the position Of the Pc,
ninsula Of Canada West, which lies
east of Michigan. Let him look at that
noble stream, the ST. Lawrence, which
should be our natural outlet to the o.
cean, and if he cannot foresee the fl-
ture annexation of Canada, he must be
blind indeed. The outbreak and blood.
shed so Improbable in that country a
few years ago, have been quelled, but
the same causes still exist--the same
aspirations for liberty are still felt; and
it is as impossible for that country to
remain under British rule, as it is for
the human mind to stand still. The first
two Governors after the revolt gave
the Canadians responsible government,
and tried to paoify them by promises O.
free Institutions, and by giving Office to
the most energetic and able liberals ir
the Provinces. But the instincts o
