Perhaps the most remarkable instance on re-
cord, OF the decline of morality as connected
with government, has been recently presented
by thst of the United Slates.
About the year 1898, symptoms ofldaaacctior
and rebellion in Canada, gave rise to the organ
izAtion OF armed parties in this country, fer til,
invasion Of that province, in aid of the rebelliou
movement The disturbance was slight and
short-lived, and the insurgents with little IF
fort. captured, and punished. This invasion OF
British province WAS the occasion of con;ro-
versy between tho United States and England,
in the course of which, the latter described the
American invaders as pirates. However serious
was the admitted offence against friendly na-
tion, the United States protested against this
classification Of their conduct, and maintained
successfully, that they were engaged in cause
which might, by their success, have attained to
some degree of responsibility, which could ne
YER, under any circumstances. sanctify the pro-
fession Of piracy.
The tendency OF this invasion of Canada, was
to secure a free State, and thus add to the poll
teal supremacy Of the North
The recent unfortunate and equally unlawful
invasion OF Cuba, tended to the acquisition of q
slave Stnte, and the addition of political strength
to the Southern section now under the ban of q
hostile majority. The invaders were cauqh,
and pat TO deaih-the United States governmeu;
refusing to inercede for mercy and declaring that
they met the deserved fate OF pirstes-persons
engaged in \ cause so Infamous, that il never
could have acquired auy degree of respectable
~.
Can it be credited, that the youug,vrtuous ard
most resputable republic of the United States,
has already become so base, as TO repudiate its
own avowed moral sentiments in this open man
ner, to serve the purposes of those in power p
Or can you give some more hopeful solution to
this anomaly, apparently 80 irrecoueilable with
y decent regard for appearaucesl

Wing or Union party. supports Mr.. Cobb, because
of his devotion to the measures Of the compro-
