weapon ofdcstruction in the shape OF rocket which
can be inpelled by one man and yet Will destroy
lie and property at TIE dlstanceot two miles. This

tendency oftne times is acceerating the progress of
those principles. The voice OF the people, on both
! sides OF the channel is coming in like flood for
free trade and before the farmers OF the great west
shall be able to turn up the sod of all their vast
