TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
In few years Canada viii become commercially
dependent upon Portland. Boston and New York.
Ties. social commercial and political, will thus grow
up, which will render either her dependence Eng
land, or her independence q nation, out Of tho
question, where the benefits to be gathered by an
nexa.on to the Union so striking and manifold.
The intelligent inhabitants, and the English gov
eminent, are contemplating this peaceful termination
Of English rule in this part Of North America, each
looking TO ample benefits to be received by closer
alliance in commerce with our big United States.
This policy is as apparent az it is declared. Al
ready England is in the initiative. She has yielded
% the provincial government the entire control
Of the post office department, and the general
legislature Of the country and she is gradually
withdrawing her troops from the provinces. Whilst
these things are being done, the power and
Influence of the government, both metropolitan
and provincial, is being, favoraby exerted for
and into the United States. There is now under
course Of construction railroad leading from
Niagara to Detroit, and in conne..,,,o with the
great lines Of New York roads, A branch Of this
road passes BY Burlington, around the head OF Lake
Op.Trio 70 Toronto. Toronto again is to be con-
pecsed withthe Georgian Lake by railway, which
vii extead down to Kingston and Montreal. thus
bringing that fine pait 9. anaua in direct sommu-
Dication with Portland, Boston and New York, by

line Of road already crisis between La Prairie, OPP
poetic Montreal, and Houses Point, and thence
connecting with the Boston and New Yor roads,
whilst the road from Ozdensburg to Rouses Point
brings Prescott and the adjacent country within day
OF New York and Boston. Then again, Kingston
and the Rideau Canal Is brought within oue days
distance of New York and Boston By tue Cape st.

We, then, conclude, that before many years, yield.
