which viii justify the full assumption Of the
practical duties and responsibilities ofth Office
by the prince him elf How such an arrange
ment would take among her Majesty's subjects
in the colonies we do not know. Very likely
they would be proud of o son Of their gracious
sovereign as their master. 1t may be that our
Administration would make no remonstrance
against such convenient arrangement. Vic
toria has o large and increasing family. They
must be provided for in some way; and if par
celled out among her colonies, and they are
satisfied, whose business is it to complain?
But the idea Of establishing an hereditary
viceroyalty on our Northern frontiers, ought
not to be recognized by our government. 1t is
inconsistent with the genius and the free work.
ing of our republican institutions, and with all
our notions and expectations of 1.-The manifest
destiny of the Canadas, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. The Administration is doing quite
enough in support Of the cause Of royalty, in
it's Gadsden treaty subsidies to Santa Anna, TO
enable him to set up an imperial establishment
in Mexico. We trust, therefore, that any colo
NAL overtures from Lord Elgin, involving the
England in North America, will be rejected by
Marcy without hesitation. After his instruc-
tions concerning old clothes to our ministers
and consuls abroad, we think we may rely
upon Marcy in this business of Lord Elgin,
slippery as our premier is upon all questions
except had-bellied coats and leather breeches
We cannot stand royal establishment in Her
Maiestys North American provinces. Let
Marcy see to it that he is not led astray John
Mitchell and his Irish brigade win never per-
init the Coburgs to hold viceroyalty on this
side the Atlantic.
Seriously, however, we shall wait with inter
est for the issue of this special mission Of Lord
Elgin to Washington, resting as it does, upon a
consolidation of the Canadas and the neighbor-
ing colonies, and comprehending, as it proba-
bly, does, system of commercial reciprocities
with the United States, including the settle
ment of the fishery question. But desirable as
may be the blessings of free trade, and liberal
adjustment of the fishery difficulty, we take
the liberty again to admonish the administra-
ton at Washington, especially Marcy) of the
danger of any entangling colonial arrange
ments with England, which may involve the
policy of introducing contingent heir to the
British crown as the Governor General Of our
semi-republican neighbors. Between the iber-
ties of the people and the divine rights" of
kings we must do our duty, fish or no fish.
