moro ardent PARROTS are looking auxiously
for the immediate Acknowledgement Of Cana

more ardent are with outstrctchcd arms
awaiting anxiously its connection with this
country others take tho opposite extreme
and believe, or profess to, that tho recent
demonstrations as exhibited BY the scenes
Of the past few weeks, arc calculated to
strengthen the bond 10y which tho English
Government now hold TIL. portion Of her

Ia speaking on this head the Burlington
Frcc Press says:--
But that any body, comparatively re-
CARDS the present troubles and connections
in Canada rs either tho result Of. or likely
to end in, n strong purpose to separate the
Canalns from the dominion of Great Brit,

Now, while we have little to say for our

VIC may expect to see tie people Of Canada
Withdrawing from the mother country or

apple Of discord has been thrown among
the people Of Canada that new egg has
been laid that will in due time batch out
a irstratc cock Of the Bantum breed, to
oppose the farther rule Of the British lion,

sufficient guarantee that all will turn out
well for the Home Government in the end. .
