have been for many years IN the habit OF visit

business was so dull. Everything appears changed
Two years ego you wouli see a crowded harbor
and wharves alive with businessmen there Is
scarcely ship to be seen, and the streets are al
most ldeserted. This is greatly owing to the il
liberal policy OF the British navigation laws, and
the liberal policy pursued by the State Of New
York In permitting the Western Canada mer-
chants to import their goods through her canal,
free of duty But if there is a change In the busi-
ness appearance of Montreal, there is still
greater change in public opinion: This place
however, those who were loudest in their
praise Of British Institutions, have changed
their tune, and declare that there is but one
remedy Tor their dlslress--a union with the
Unite States; and IN taking this view OF the case,
they use arguments which cannot be contro-
verted. They ssy that the business of the great
West is divided by natuIe at the summit of the
Illinois; one great river, the Mississippi, 10 the
renee TO the nortn. These are the natural outlets
at all the vast uace of the west and northwest
but the ilberal policy Of England drives from the
st. Lawrence, and down the Erie canal, all the bust
60 by the natural outlet to the sea England, how
ever, holds en- to her avgaiion laws, and the Ca
nadans despair of ever having them repealed
unless the union is also severed. They think that
If Canada was joined to the United States, the ST.
Lawrence would then be to the North what the Mis-
sisslppl Is to the South; and Montreal and New
Orleans would hold relative positI ms. These are
only few of the arguments they urge, but as they
dare not move publicly in the matter and the press
is muzZled, it is p,obab.c they will continue to
pine on with the yoke bearing them down, and
destroying not only the benefits which nature has
placed within their reach but also their energies.
That the spirit tor change pervades all parties, no
man at all conversant wi public opinion here,
will attempt to deny but, unless some unforeseen
circumstances should arise, nothing will come out
