The recent proposition Of the Provincial
Ministry to make compensation for alledg-
ed losses sustained in the REBELLION of l847,
has produced q political fermentation,
quite equal to the rebellion itself.
The Tories in Sandwich, opposite De-
troit, lately called a meeting, the Cincin-
natl Gazette says, which resulted in gath
ering the largest crowd ever assembled
there. The Tories were routed, and
Liberal measures adopted by large major
tiles.
Large meetings are being held in all
parts Of Canada BY the Liberals" to sus-
tam the government, and by the "Loy-
ailsts" to express indignation. The meet
ing in Montreal was attended by four
thousand people. Violent resolutions
We're carried, and the ground boldly taken
by the 'L"ya|hs," that resistance to the
measure (paying the REBELLION losses at all
hazards, was the duty of all loyal men,
me NJ ,ntrel Herald says that the day on
which the meeting is held, will be 'the
day from which the future historian may
Gate the emancipation of the British Col
o"sts from the imposition of foreign laws
AMI foreign masters"
The public men in Canada are speaking
out boldly, and in defiance of the Home
Government. The result is easily FORE

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, an
able and prominent wing paper, admits
that the administration of President Polk
has been distinguished by great events, Of
an important bearing upon the interests
and character Of the country. That paper
says:
ut must be conceded that his admins
tration has been marked with great events,
which from an important era in our histo-
~. Near its commencement, neighbor-
ing republic surrendered its sovereignty,
and peaceably became member Of the
confederacy-throwing off its distinctive
national character and assuming the attri.
butes Of state Of the Union. Resulting
from this act combined with other causes,
came the war with Mexico, wherein
whatever may be thought of its Justice or
injustice shown the capabilities of
the United States for carrying on an ag-
gressive war, springing up in the midst
OF peace, and that our people had lost
nothing of their military character by a
long repose Of thirty years. That war
Was distinguished by acts Of bravery and
martial daring-of generalship and slrate-
gy--of science in planning compaigns, and
Of energy and courage in executing them,
which has added fresh laurels to our mil
iiary reputation throughout the world
Its results have been to extend the limits
Of our Union, by the acquisition of i'm
mense territories on the Pacific, of great
value Of position--to say nothing OF the
mineral treasures which have since been
developed and which are now attracting
the earnest attention of the world. That
all these things possess deep and absorb
ing interest is most natural, for the end is
not yet: All are looking forward with
anxiety to the effect and influence which
these acquisitions may have upon our flu
ture destiny: Some of our people regard
them as fraught with danger to the stabil-
lty and permanency of the Union. Others
look upon them as possessions Of the great
est value, over which our institutions will
soon be extended and cause them to be-
come states in full fraternity with those
which now compose the Union. Without
Analysing these conflicting hopes and fears,
we can but regard these things-the an
nexation Of Texas, the Mexican war, and
the acquisition of California and New
Mexico, as SO many important events
which will 60 to make the administration
of James K. Polk prominent feature in
the history of our country"

The great feature Of Holden is. that, while
being peculiarly American in sentiment and
feeling, it gcthers and embodies all the beauties
of the French, English and American Period-
Gals, while discarding their folies and vices. A
combination Of he Encyclopedia, the Gazateer,
the Quarterly Review, and the Weekly News

but possessing enough of their various qua!ifica-
tons to commend itself to every reader.

We learn from the officers of the steam
or .9icoma, in this morning from St.
Joseph, that raider. have recently arrived
a, Independence, from Santa Fe, bringing
most melancholy accounts from Col. Fac
n,srs company. 1t seems that the cold
was 50 excessive in the mountains as 10
cause the death Of al their cattle in one
night. They were then three hundred
mile. distant from Taos, to which place
Col. Fremont proceeded, accompanied by
only three others. On his arrival there,
Major BEALL ordered out detachment
10 20 in search Of the company; with these
Col. f. returned to the place where he had
left his comrades; but nothing was to be
,een but vast snowy waste. 1t is sup
posed that they all persisted, and were
hrried beneath the snow. The above is
pretty generally accredited in and about
Independence.
1t does no, necessarily follow, however,
int this brave band Of adventures has
prri.hed. There are many sheltered
,,ots in the mountain Businesses 10 which
the party IN y have retreated, with COM
n,r.,ive safety. We shall anxiously
swat further details. = St. Louis Evening
