WHAT DoE5 II NHANY-The Detroit pa

gagged lasl week IN conveying the SD regi-
meni pl British troops 60 Chippewa She

just arrived from England, from Chippewa 10
Port Stanley. What does This mean? The
American troops are nearly all Withdrawn
from the Canadian frontier, yet, by The above,
! it seems the British Government is ncreas-
ing its forceupon our frontiers. This should
be looked to.-Ohio Statesman. fes
We have no belief tha. these movements Of
troops in Canada have any direct reference to tho
United States. Had England desired to encoun-
ter America in that final battle for the mystery
which must one day be fought, the Oregon bopa7
Diary would not have been settled on terms. which
while they were less than our rights, were yet
precisely what for upwards cf nalf century she
had refused to grant, though again and again
preferred by bur government Any movement Of
her military force which England makes on our
frontier has more the object Of overawing her
ow subject coonsts than any other design, and
that mentioned above has probable reference to
the coming elections in the Canadas elections
in that country having heretofore been controlled
to the wishes OF the Colonial Administration by
armed interference Besides the fires Of insur-
rection which few years ago burned so fercely
there, have been quelled but no, ,quenched.a Liv-
ing in daily intercourse with the people Of a
great republic, self governed, and advancing in
ma tional wealth and greatness with rapidity
which has no example in the history Of the
world the Canadians must and do sympathlse with
the principle of our institutions. One in Ian
guaRe, one in origin and in religion, divided only
by narrow rivers OF by lakes which daily inter-
course make no real separation, the American col
onicts Of England must look forward TO the COM
ing time when wo shall also be one in govern
rnent-to the time when Northern Annexation
will have become one Of the great facts of histo-
nv. Possessed Of fertile soil, Of unbouhded re-
sources, and of the most lavish means Of natural
communication, the habitable portion Of what is
now British America is more capable of adding to
the wealth and the strength Of this Unionthan car
be any Southern acquisitions ..on the continent
England sees this; her hopes, entertained and ex-
pressed by her Statesmen, that Republican insi.
tutons had not cohesive power sufficient TO main
tain an extensive iederative system, are daily be-
coming ore faint; and our present uninterrup'-
ed course of brilliant victories in Mexico, has gi
ven ample proof that our vigor is us effective in
war as it is admitted to be in the arts Of peace
These facts, and the internal spirit of disaffcc-
ton existing in her colonies, may give English
statesmen lively cause for apprehension that the
time is not distant when the now fairest jewel OF
her Empire shall be wrested from her control, and
may cause her to gather her hirelings on our
frontier in greater number than she otherwise
would; but they are placed there for defensive
rather than offensive, for internal ralher than
external objects Great Britain has passed the
time when her power, upon this continent, had
tho oapacity Of extension; she can now gain no.
thing by contest, and if once entered upon she
must lose all. a
