We publish to-day long article FROM

Canada, and we desire 10 say a word
or two 10 prevent misunderstanding in
the United States. We look with q
certainty to The days and that not dis.
tant, when both Canada and Cuba will
be annexed to this Union, but the ap.
pearatces i1 Canada, at present; are
not real. The anhexalion advocates
are not sincere only as dernier resor.
THAT Of escaping the ascendancy Of
the radicals, reformers and democrats
who now hold the asce ndency in tho
Candiah Parliament: Like the old fed.

party, and through their noise about an!

Canada that are the real friends Of afr!

With these remarks, we leave the
subject for the present. hoping that MO
