Important Movements In Canadn-A Ma.
tionnl Convention.

In our Montreal correspondence, published else
where in this sheet, will be found very interest
ing report of the preliminary proceedings which
have been held in Montreal tor the organization of
a national convention OF the two Canadas, to take
into consideration the present condition of those
colonies and the propriety and necessity of chang
ing their existing form of government, either into
an independent federal union of all British Anne
RIGA, or ultimate annexation to the United States.
This important movement may be considered
the first peaceful and constitutional step towards
partial and, ultimately, entire revolution Of that
cluster of colonies, in their existing relations to-
wards Great Britain. This step acquires the deep
er Importance from the very calm, temperate, and
legal shape il begins to assume. We cannot forget,
overlook, in this connection, that the first signs
of the American revolution of 1776 which estab-
lshed this great republic on this continent and
sewed the seeds of change in Europe, were of the
same nature as those now becoming manifest in
Canada 1t was from convention of the old colo
nies held long before l776 that the foundation
laid of all the subsequent fortunate changes and
happy revolutions. The same process has begun in
Canada. The rebellion of Lyon Mackenzie, in
1897 was only an ugly, ill-tempcred, inconsistent,
impotent row of loafers and vagabonds. The pre-
sent movements and temper in Canada appear to be
under the control of mind and intellect.
On this subject, several of the Canadian partisan
journals have taken us to task-accusng us of all
sorts of ignorance, in anticipating any such move
ments or popular discussions in Canada, looking to
ultimate separation from England. Ever since the
farce on the frontier, of 1887 have been rather
incredulous on such point but recently, the signs
and indications in Canada, in every way-in Par
lament, in the press, and at public meetings. have
been so numerous, that begin to consider the
whole matter open for discussion and deliberation.
Much has to be done to bring about such change;
and the Canadians themselves have to do it. On
this side of the frontier are mere spectators
not even sympathisers. If they don't effect the
great revolution by reason, argument and the con-
sent of Great Britain, all in due time, they will
wait long till they get aid from the United States
But destiny is destiny. A colonial convention in
1850, or Whereabouts, led to the American revon-
ton of 1776. When Canada shall have gone
through the like process, perhaps we may be ready
to receive her, at the North-and Cuba, in the
South. Who knows!

SINGULAR REvoiuTIoSARY DEVELOPMENTS. -
Messrs. Arcularlus and Scove, who have Just
started a new Saturday journal, called "The Err
omn~," have commenced the publication in their
frs, number, Of series Of remark able deyelope-
ments Of private letters written by distinguished
men, during the firs, period Of the Revolution, to-
wards the close Of the last century extending, il is
said, TO some eighty or one hundred-manv of
whom were the forefahers Of some of our present
distinguished men. The few letters already publish
ed are quite curious in their way although not dis
closing anything of remarkable character. Where
these editors have procured these curious memo
rails of tina, nnosi interesting era in our history, we
do not know. But they seem to possess internal
evidence of their authenticity, well as dis
closing some curious traits in the character of that
period from which all the late European revolu-
tons have sprung. and which must always be full
of interest, not only to the people of this land, but
TO the friend. Of freedom throughout the world.
This new Journal in which these letters appear, pos
sessee many marks of ability, and great liveiness
vivacity and piquanoy. Mr.. Scoville is well known
to many Of the newspapers here, to which he has
contributed much interesting natter for some time
past.

The DIPLOMATIC SMUGGLING IN EURorH.-A
correspondent at Washington, whose statements
will be found in another column, furnishes us with
a more particular account of the amusing SNUG
Cling case of Mr. Ellsworth, at Stockholm, than any
thing we have seen in any of the newspapers, not
even excepting the Philadelphia magniloquent organ
of the Secretary of State. If the account be &C
curate, as represented by our correspondent, the
whole affair, instead of being atrocious spec-
men of national outrage by an American function
airy against friendly government, the matter may
gently sink down into affair of gallantry to-
wards a beautiful Philadelphia lady in Europe, on
the part of the American Minister, and very polite
ly almost concurred in by the minister of the
foreign Potentate. The sugars, sweetmeats, silks,
spices, and, perhaps, the altar of roses and jewels
too, only give zest to the diplomatic courteses
offered up by way of incense to the beauty from the
banks of the Schuylkil
Is this really the true version of this wonderful
matter, after all Really, it seems to have other
complexion, IN the shape in which it is now put by
our correspondent. We hope, however. the Score
tary of State will relieve the suspense of the coun-
try and of the gosspping fair sex, upon this i'm
portant matter We have seen, in the course Of the
last few months several eaden and double loaded
leaders, solemnly devoted to the most logical, ana
logical, theological, pathological, chronological
ANALYSIS Of some brief limitations of this matter
put forth in our columns. Some of the remarkable
leading editorial writers of the day, who turn
out two columns Of solemn trash (prce S5) upon
the smallest and silliest topic have been in great
extra great distress, for some time past, upon this
very important case Will mot the Secretary of State
relieve the public mind from any further mystery
upon the subject
As regards diplomatic smuggling in Europe, we
believe it has been carried on for many years, at
all the courts Of Europe and we begin to think
that dipomatst's principal offence is, in doing
il up blunderngly-thats all.

GENERAL TAYLOR AND THB PoLITIcIANs.-Ceneral
Taylor himself seems to get on very smoothly in
the White House; but his poor cabinet do not APP
pear to fare so well, between the ofice-holders
and the office seek ers-one set holding and the
other trying to get hold. The newspapers of
either great party by no means disclose the trouble
which encircles the cabinet and attempts to pene
trate into the White House, but cannot. The only
channel through which correct history Of these
events can reach the people, is in the columns Of
me independent journals in this metropolis and
the other large cities As for the whgJournals, they
are AFRAID TO tell anything, for fear of offending
their patrons; and the democratic newspapers are
almost IN the same prcdcament from their desire
to keep many OF their friends and supporters in
office. Now and then, however, big leak lets
out such opinions and sentiments ~ ex st beneath
the surface; as, for instance, was the case at the
Clay meeting, at the Apollo sa,oon, the other
evening
The truth is, these politicians, belonging to all
parties are peculiar class of men. No cabinet
can get on quietly with them, nor any President
make smooth work unless he establishes and ad
by General Taylor, Of referring all applicants to thu
heads Of departments. Some are seeking office,
and others are holding on; and, between them, the
amount of SANDER and abuse is enough almost, to
sink half dozen worlds. Now and then, the jour
mails burst out; but, in general, they are afraid to
ny anything We may soon look for some stra &c

FAsmoNABLE Se1IETY AND OrErA, IN NnwYonK.-
We give in another column, several curious articles
from the contemporary press of this and other cities,
upon the interesting subject of fashionable society
and Opera management. during the last two or three
years. in this metropolis, and its two principal am
bougs-Philadelphia and Boston.
The opinions expressed in these journals entirely
concur with the views which we have frequently
thrown out in relation to the attempt made to es-
tablish the Italian Opera in this city, upon basis
completely hostile to the social feelings of the COM
munity. These opinions, from such quarters, are
the more expressive, because several OF these jour
nals upon former occasions, have berated us with
extreme violence for originally entertaining the
same views upon society and Opera to which they
now, at last, give their decided concurrence. 1t is
now admitted, at last that the Italian Opera can
never be established in this community upon the
exclusive basis which characteristics it among the
aristocracies of Europe. There is no superiority
in this country in clique of society beyond ano
ther, other than that which personal character may
create. 1t is true, during the last few years,
tain little cliques, with more money than good
sense, have attempted to establish exclusive cote
ries, and to look down upon the rest of the commu
nifty as beneath them; but the great respectable
fashionables, and only deserving contempt and de-
testatlon.
Will the experience of past years corret the con-
duct of our musical people for the future I! BY an
erroneous and narrow-mnded system, two sets of
managers have been ruined, and made losers, dur
ing the last two years. Yet it is generally thought
that, upon a proper and liberal basis Of admission,
there is abundant taste in New York and the neigh
boring cities, TO support tho Italian OPERA of high
character. But the errors of Sanquirico and
Patti on the one side, or of Mr. Fry and his advis-
ers on the other, ought to be avoided. AS matters
now stand, M. Max Maretzek seems to have de-
veloped more talent, manager, than most of
his cotemporaries; and if, in any future arrange
ments, his capacity should be overlooked or ne
elected, in order to crafty personal interests and
cliques as great mistakes will be made next year,
as we have witnessed for the last two years.
