CANADIAN misunderstanding to our latest adj
wees from Canada, we believe it is beyond all
doubt that Toronto has been selected the seat of
government, and the vice-regal residence. The
change has, as might be expected, created great
deal of dissatisfaction IN Montreal-lately the seat
OF the colonial government-and will probably in
crease the excitement which has prevailed there
for some time past the subject of separation and
annexation TO the United States. The removal
has, no doubt, been made with the view of sIlencng
as much as possible the discomfort Of the ultra
annexatonists in the Upper Province, and the ruse
will, in all probability, succeed to certain extent
But while it will have tins effect in that portion of
Canada, the scheme Of separation will gather fresh
impetus in Lower Canada. Political matters are
evidently drawing TO a crisis In her Majesty's
American possessions; and it is not at all unlikely
that the Canadas will be knocking at our doors for
admission into this Union before we shall be pre-
pared to receive them. The die is east, and II Is
only question of time to striking the final blow
Separation and annexation appear to be the con-
trolling topic OF conversation and discussion in the
press and among all classes and parties in that
country and the time is near at hand when Eng.
land can no longer boast that the sets on
her extended comnions. Free trade and the pro-
gress OF intelligence will work greater changes
than this before the next quarter of century rolls
over u.s.

The KENTUCKY CoNvENTIoN.-Another letter,
which we publish In our paper of to-day, from our
special correspondent at Frankfort, Kentucky, will
be read with interest. 1t gives clear exhibit of
the temper and tone of feeling In the Constitutional
Convention on the slavery question.
Emancipation has no chance. The great body
of the convention are decidedly in favor of the In
stitution of slavery as il is. We commend the ex-
tracts OF sundry speeches, gwen IN the letter. to
the special attention of Massa Greeley, and would
ask him how 1t is that the convention pays little
regard to the Northern popularity hunting emanc-
patton plan of Henry Clay! 1t would appear that
little or nothing has been said about the plan of Mr.
Clay. What has become of Mr.. Clay? And in
the present unenlightened condition of the Ken
tuckians, would it not be well for the philosopher
of the social free soil organ to write series of
apostolic letters to them, after the fashion of the
letters to the Ohio free-soilers last fall Who
knows but these letters did a heap of good, after
all and why not repeat the experiment In Ken
lucky? Who so capable of insructing them IN the
mysteries of free soil, free negroes and free rent,
as our bran bread phllanthropist
But thus we go The movements and fanatical
agitation OF the abotionists have compelled the
Southern States to rigid defence of their peculiar
system; and all the original inclinatons of the
border slave holding States toward gradual eman-
clpaton are arrested. The proceedings in Ken
lucky afford some indication of what will be the
temper of the South on the free soil question in the
coming Congress. Every thing depends upon that
