When we considered the address published by the c
zens OF Montreal, the subject OF annexation, we
cribed 10 Il the Importance which belongs to document
emanang from sgreat city, and expressing the opinions
predominant in large community But II may be safely
doubted whether we have not ascrbed too much import
ance to it. We Ietract nothing that we said on the Tone
the temper. and the gravity q the document By whom
fleets great credit on the skill TACT and adroness OF its
authors. But II seems to us doubtful whether il cor
Iecty expresses the sentiments OF the majority Of the
montreal population; and 1t Is quite clear that II
does express them. the present position and condition
OF that city would not warrant in measuring by the
state OF its own the general state OF Canadian parties and
Montreal has been for many years for it's
turbulence and righteousness II proposed to transfer
the seat of government to other city This propo.

certain time damage its interests Under these cir.
cumstances, what wonder Is there that the citizens of
Montreal should exhibit discomfort, and indulge in the
language OF disafecton Surely, the wonder rather is
that the discomfort should have been measured in its
terms, and so temperate in Its tone.
But apart from Montreal, it seems almost beyond the
possibility Of doubt that the tendency to annexation has
not spread far throughout the province Of United Cana

sal The governor has, in his recent tour been received
with enthusiasm in several with respect and cofdaty
almost all places. We believe that the men who are
loudes in their cries for annexation would be
reluctant to realize their own menaces With the excep
ton of one or two who might become distinguished
statesmen Of the great United American republic, The
jorty Of the annexaonists would really be less consd
cradle personagcs as American citizens than they are as
British subjects.
But if under the pressure of temporary adversely or
from undue estimate of the benefits of republican in
sttutons, the Canadian people deliberately propose
exchange the freest poy that any colony ever enjoyed
for the ambiguous honor Of forming small part OF
unweldy colfedeation then let them understand that
motives Of prudence and interest alone II they think
that they can do without Canada then and then only
will they give up Canada But In sirtendering Canada

In parting from England, Canada will lose the Of
dependent province, to be brought nearly within
view Of the force which might have perpeuated her de-
pendence; in losing her hold of Canada, England will
take to lose only the responsibilities and expense Of

all such anticipations as these wholly superauous.
