Mr.. McConnel's reply to the RequlSl
ton to the members of S,anstcad, whicl.

received. As we expected, he declares
himself favorable to "a peaceful separation

Of the electors of that place.
Another Annexation Meeting is to take
place at Huntingdon, on the 2Gih; and
preliminary steps are being taken at Cham
biz and Riyhclcu, for similar purpose.

four Anncxa,ionists have been elected as
Civ Councillors for Toronto. This city.
YOU are perhaps aware. has hitherto been
held up as pattern of loyalty as spot
where no Annexatjonist need present hmm

will take place on the 4th of March, and
great deal Of excitement is anticipated
thereupon, In most Of the wards an IN

this place a very uncnviable no!oriety.
One good, will, at least result from these
municipal afiairs-they will give a pretty
correct idea of the relative strength oil both
parties.
The English news, from the London
Morning Advertiser, received by the last
mail, which confirms previous report
that the Imperial Ministry will not object
TO the Annexation Of Canada, has created
little stir among the politicians. Some
contend that it is correct, and others mann
tain, with equal vehemence, that 1t IS to-
tally without foundation. Nous rerr0n3.
