THE ANNEXATION QUESTION IN
CANADA

Many of the Canada press are discussing
the question Of anne Xation TO the United States,
and thew succeed in making out its advanta-
geS quite as well as they ever once did in
showing the opposite side of the question:
These discussions are curious, and not a little
interesting to the people on this side of the ST.
Lawrence, who may one day be called upon
10 add another State TO the Union, North of
New York and the East. In the Kingston
Chronicle, a writer says that three alternatives
are presented TO the people OF the Provinces.
g The hrstis a return 10 the pre- existing
system, with the exception that the principle
of responsible government should be contin-
ued.
The second is severance of the connec-
ton with England, and annexation 10 the Uni
ted States
% The third, a Federal Union of all the Brit
ish North American Provinces, under the do
minion Of our beloved Sovereign
The third proposition is The one that most
meets the approval of the writer, and he saws
in answer 10 the objection, that under Fede.
raj Union they would become indeperdent,
that the destiny of the Colonies is inevitably
to become independent but Federal Union
will not unduy hasten that event. With re-
gard to the annexation. The Colonist of the
9th ultimo, makes the following announce
ment:
"Now as the North American Colonies are
at present situated, they are on the eve of ma
king new commercial connections, which
must necessarily be followed by new political
connections also. We have no longer, it may
be said, any interest in continuing a connec-
ton which, in time of peace, offers no percep-
| tble advantage, and in the event of war world
expose us cruelty 10 the belligerent operations
OF our neighbors. Circumstances now betO-
ken that it will net be long before commercial
preference on the one hand, and colonial & i'm
peral differences on the other, will carry into
effect what has been so solemnly predicted
| The Montreal Patriot speaks OF leaning
of the Anglo-Saxons at Toronto towards an
neXation with their brethren of the United
States, and the Witness says it would do away
with frontier Custom Houses, Introduce Amer
lean capital, raise the value OF fixed property,
make the St. Lawrence the great highway of
Western produce, &c. &c.-Ledger.
Emancipation in Kentucky.-The Louisville
Journal. the leading Wing paper of Kentucky,
commenting upon Mr.. Clay's recent letter,
says:
1--WE must reiterate the expression of our
full conviction. that there is not al this time the
slightest earthly chance that the State Con-
venton, to be held next fall, will incorporate
in the new constitution a provision for the
emancipation Of slaves. We do not believe
there are ten counties that will send emanci-
patton delegates to the convention, and our
opinion upon this subject has been formed
upon free and careful consultation with the
mos, enlightened men, members of the Legis-
ature and others, from every county in the
State.''

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
ANALYSIS Ow FOOD.

The various simple elements which form the hui
man constitution, derived from food which is
either directly indirectly derived from vegata6 les
and these are derived from the ground The only
| exceptions 10 this routine are COMMON salt, water,
and the air which breathe. But what are the
elements constituting our bodies, ard for which We
are indebted TO plants and to our mother earth g.
There are sixty simple elements forming tho great
globe, and the question occurs, which Of these
essential TO our own material frames, and which
plants supply 2 This is an interesting inquiry
As far as we can ascertain they the following:
Iron, Magnesium SULPHUR
Manganese, Chlorine, Phosphorus,
Potassium, Flourine Oxygen,
Sodium, Carbon, Hydrogen,
Calcium Silicon, Nitrogen
Fifteen IN ail-siX metals, and nine non metallic.
Besides these, copper is generally essential to land
plants, and iodine and bromne help 10 form plants
of the sea.
These elements do not all unite indscrimi-
naiey 10 form the various organs of our system.--
Each element has its own particular Office and
place. Thus, phosphorus assists 10 form the brain,
the nerves and the bones; sulphur enters into the
albumcn dark hair has manganese in its compost
ton, and light has magnesia; flourne helps espe-
cially TO form the hard enamel OF the teeth; and
bones being white, are made chiefly Of calcium OF
lime and magnesia. Oxygen, that astonishing ele-
ment enters into the composition of every part.
But the Office of plants is not simply TO supply
each of these TO constitution; they must sup
pound bodies. Thus the oil of animal systems in
the oil prepared directly by plants; the albumen,
the fibrin, and the caeein of animals have all been
elaborated by the wonderful mechanism Of vpgeta-
bles, and yielded up sacrifices TO form and sus-
tain the higher orders of creation Such bodies as
oil abumen, aud fibrin, are called proximats prin-
cpes 10 distinguish them from simple inorganic
elements. They several hundred in number
Some more and some less nutricious some arc
Indifferent, and others absolutely hurtlul or poison
Gus.
From view Of such facts we are enabled TO form
some idea of the chemistry Of agriculture and vege-
taton, the great and ultimate source Of food for
man. The soil must contain tire fifteen simple ell
ements above enumerated, and mingled together in
due proportions. They must be slowly dissolved
by water, or the plant cannot imbibe them aud
hence the mechanical operations on the soil to pre-
mote such solution. II any of them be wanting,
they must be procured artificaliy in the ecu
nomical way and applied the most wisely. Next,
the different vegetable products themselves mus, he
examined to ascertain the amount and comparative
value of their various nutritious matters. All this
requires the largest acquisitions Of science, and the
most delicate attention TO minute particulars Who
does not the importance of the subject ?sSouth-

FoRMATIoN OF DEw.-Our countryman, DR..
Wells, of South Carolina, the first man to ex-
plain the beautiful formation of dew. 1t is like the
collection of vapor pitcher of cold water on a
hot day; of the breath a window glass in hot
room in cold weather. The diffusion of heat is up-
on The principle Of what may be termed ''give and
take" The human body is sending off heat as
truly as coal fire; and living plant truly as
either; but of course in lesser degree II the plant
receive heat from another body equal TO that it
throws off, it maintains its warmth clouds even
reflect back heat. Hence there is no dew in cloudy
nights. Absence Of dew is therefore said 10 portend
storm: 1t only indicates the presence Of clouds.
But if the heat Of plants is sent into space as il is
when the sky is clear, they become cooled, and dew
gathers on them. Dew never gathers on the bod
les of men aEmals and it is not strictly correct
TO say that the dow is inhaled What we infalo
ola damp evening, is water in the form Of vapor
dew is water in the shape of vapor. The dew drop
on the petal Of the lilly the rose, is the te.r Of
maiden innocence weeping in unrequi;ed love.
