GEN. SCOTT:ON. CANADA ANNEXA-
TdON.

The following letter of Gen. Scott on this
subject Will be pad: the present time, with
much interest.
The acquaintance of the writer with the
frontier line on byth sides, and his well-known
character and agility lend importance to his
views. His So 5gestl3n in opposition to ''un-
demanded measures: and bad faith to Great
Britain we dotbtr. not will be acquiesced in
by the great bo1E Of che people:
NSisr F'oINr, June 90, 1919.
My DEAR SIE:--TAe news from the Par
lament of Gre,i1 Britain, this morning, must
| think, increase tbe=discontent of our negh-
bors on the oth., sids of the St. Lawrence
and the Lakes flt l1ltle; and that those dis
contents will in few years, lead to separ-
alton OF the Ca1l1das, New Brunswick, &C.,
&C., from the mltheF country, seems equally
probable.
WI those lsIv.nees form themselves into
an Independents n@tien, or seek a Connection
with our Union, 1 think the probability Is
greatly - in iavof.sof the latter. Ia my i1dg-
men' the intertst. ii both sides would h

Possessions on our continent. | am well ac-
quainted with that line, and know great
deal of the interests and character of the Pro-
vincials. Though opposed to incorporating

w hat may be the views of our Executive
Government on the subject know absolutely
nothing; but | think cannot err in saying
that two-thirds of our people would rejoice in
the incorporation, and the other third soon
perceive its benefits.
Ofcourse, am opposed to any underhand-
ed measures on our part, In favor of the meas
ure, or any other act of bad faith towards
Great Britain. Her good will, in my view
of the matter, is only second to that of the
provlncialS themselves, and that the former
would soon follow the MISUNDERSTANDING the
present temper and condition of Christendom

The foregoing views have long been in

AThosPHEhIc SPRINGs.-This new invention
is getting into favor. The Albany Argus says that
these springs have been tested and found to be not
only cheaper, more durable and uniformly elastic
under all temperatures, than the ordinary elliptic
steel, or the India rubber substitute, but capable OF
ready adjustment to any weight. and when out OF
order, (Which is very seldom,) easily repaired in
very short time. and al rifing expense -Four OF
these springs, the largest of which does not exceed
the bulk of a WATERFALL, will sustain without
strainng or imparing their perfect elasticity, pas
senger or freight car Of any weight within the
usual range; whilst they give the car nearly the
ease of skiff on the water. The India rubber
springs are an improvement Oh the steel, but are yet
fer behind the air spring, either for ordinary land
carriages or railroad cars.
