LocoFocoIsM IN New YoRK.-The Lo-
cofocos of the rival factions in New York
have been for some time endeavoring to
effect reunion. They have agreed so
far as to call State Convention to heal
their difficulties, but new split has oc-
Cured upon this point. The Hunkers
insisted upon the Convention meeting at
Syracuse, and the Barnburners at Utica,
both places being rendered memorable
for the meeting of their former respective
Conventions. Neither party being will
ing to yield, both have called Conventions,
the Hunkers fixing upon the 5th of Sep
tember, and the Barnburners on the 18th
of the same month, at the place above
mentioned. The Albany Argus publishes
a list of Al Hunker papers which approve
of the Syracuse Convention, and the New
York Globe matches it with list Of 62
Barnbnrner papers which are in favor OF
the Utica Convention.

ANNEXATION OF CANADA TO THE UNITED
STATEs.-The recent outbreak in Cana.
da in which the so-called Conservative
party turned itself into mob, and sought
by popular violence to deter the Govern
ment- from passing an act. to indemnify
the sufferers in property by the rebellion
of 1887 and 49," is likely. it is supposed
by sagacious minds. to lead to dissev.
erment of that country from the govern
ment of the crown of England. The
Radicals as they are called have never
been suspected of too great loyalty, and
now that the Conservatives have lost
most of theirs, both are reported to look
to annexation to the United States, as a
remedy for all the evils they have suffer-
ed.
A letter from Toronto, published in the
Rochester IN. Y Democrat, thus speaks
of the feeling of the people:
81 believe the time to have arrived
when annexation could be effected, if 1t
depended upon the majority of Canadians.
1 have come to this conclusion by mixing
with all classes of society, and by close
observation. You cannot enter the house
of any well-informed man of Canada, and
proach the subject of politics, but annex
alton is spoken Of as cure tor all our
present misfortunes, and the fact is.
that until we have annexation, we shall
have no peace, no prosperity nor safety
in this province.
A Montreal correspondent of the New
York Tribune some time since said: "My
impression is that in three years hence
Canada will be portion of your Reppb-
lie. The British portion of our people
are most eager for annexation" lie
might have said that the whole popula-
ton are eager for it. French as well as
British, as the fact of there being two
French newspapers in the Lower Prov
inces. now cauvassing the question will
bear me or not The fact is there is not
less than three-fourths of the population
of this province who would at this pres
ent moment sign petition to be annexed.
The ball, however, is not yet set in mo-
ton, but when it is, and / hope and trust
it may be shortly, you will see that it is
not a political question. but the general
wish of the province. except few OF
those who have once lived in the States,
and found it convenient to leave,) We
shall, however. obtain it quietly, and
without appeal to bruse force. the fact
being that no one would need forcing
we will do it by petition, by vote; it will
be made question at the next hustings.
and members will then be returned who
are favorable to annexation. We will
accomplish it by any means which we
can-we cannot will not live as we are;
we are too far from the mother country,
and to become an Independent Republic
we live too near one who has and will
continue to have very great advantages
over us. We must therefore be annexed,
and the means of adding few more stripes
and stars to the glorious banner OF the re-
public.

OF TUE
CAMBRIA AT HALIFAX.

The steamship Cambria arrived at Halifax at
Ave o'clock on Thursday evening, and about one
half of our news dispatch was received in Boston
yesterday afternoon, when the wires between that
city and Portland ceased operations.
Owing to tbs interruption on the dine between
here and Boston, none of the news could be des-
patched to this city, and the above information is
all that could be sent over that line. 1t took from
seven ll nine O'Clock last evening to ascertain
that the c. had arrived, and that portion of her
news had been received at Boston.
This is provoking; but when we take In consde-
ration that the interruption the line to Boston
is the result of carelessness, 1t is than pro-
vokng
We learn from the Office of the Boston company,
that for the last forty.eight hours their line has
been interrupted by the contact, at several points,
of the new Balm line. This has been the result of
neglect and reckessness In the construction of the
Balm line. There is, certainly, width of territory
sufficient for the erection of half dozen separate
telegraph lines between this city and Boston, far
enough apart to preclude all interference with each
other. But the BAN line has been the occasion,
as we learn of large LOSSES by interruption to the
old Boston line, lnsomuch that gang of men has
been sent out by the old line, with positive orders
to cut the new line clear at every point of either
contact or danger Of contact, hereafter, with the
old line, without further parleying or apology. We
should think that this would settle the business for
the future; but it don't give US the Cambria's
news.
We made an effort to obtain the C.'s advices
over Houses wires; but the atmospheric electricity
interrupted operations on that line, between Hart
ford and Boston.
The news will probably reach us this morning,
and will be published Immediately after 1t is re-.
ceived.
