prairies on their banks as fertile ~ any on
the Mississippi and Missouri. Moreover,
their energies have been quckened by the
spirited move OF Sir Bulwer Lytton, in
founding the colony Of New Columbia, the
terminus on the Pacific OF the grand railway
which ought to commence Ut Halifax and
run to Quebec, thence crossing the over the
whole British Territory TO Vancouver.
This enterprise, at least that portion OF il
connecting Halifax and Quebec, was moot
ed in Parliament by the present Duke OF
Newcastle in lS48. and he pointed out the
advantage Of avoiding the circuitous route
from England TO Quebec, by the st. Law
renee and the dangerous coast Of Cape
Breton. Lord Grey also praised the plan,
and Lord Dunham remarked, that " II for
great political objects il should ever be-
come necessary or advisable 10 unite all the
British Provinces under one legislative gov
ernment, then there win be found on this
side Of the Atlantic one powerful British
State which, supported by the imperial
power Of the mother country, may bid de
iiance to all the United States Of America"
Various plans are now aiioat for reaching
the East, as by the Isthmus OF Suez, the
Panama Canal and the Red Sea route
to kurrachee. Ca their merits and dement's
we have not now space to enter; but for
speed line from Halifax TO Vancouver ap-
pears the most desirable, and We should be-
placed in rapid contact with China and
India, Corea and Japan. In this view the
value of Canada is incalculable.

The Anne ericsniIa alton of Canada aud the
British Provinces

Prom the London Herald. Oct IA
The moderL project Of uniting all the
British North American Territories under
q single federal government, SO as to create
a counterpoise to the growing asceDdency OF
the United States, is exciting intense inter-
est among Canadian politicians. Federal.
ism. combining the principle Of local indie
pendence with that Of central authority,
seems admirably adapted to vast continents
destined to receive immense populations. II
prevents the existence Of international jeal-
ousies, which experience shows have always
grown up where separate Kingdoms have
been established in contiguity to each other,
leading 10 wars which have retarded the
civilization OF Europe and loaded it with
debts. Under federalism all the parts obey
the whole, and the whole is bound to pro-
tect all the parts. Each State has its own
local Legislature within its own boundary,
aud is member Of the Congress which
binds the whole confederation. When an
outlying territory advances in population,
II is not subdued as Q conquest, bat admit
ted within the pale Of the federation. Thus
political fraternity is recognized, which
prevents oil unworthy motives to cupidity
or ambition. This is one OF the causes Of
the rapid growth Of the United States.
Had the constitution Of the original thirteen
States been exclusive. new populations
would never have massed themselves around
their borders, fearing to be enslaved or an-
nexed when they became wealthy bat no
such fears were entertained, industry being
certain OF it's reward, and the small capital
ist and laborer assured that the land which
they had reclaimed would in due time be
erected into an independent State, and form
. coordinate and coeqaal part Of the com
mon republic. Ia some snch condition now
is the North American territory, which
contains one ninth OF the whole area OF the
globe, computed at 81 100000 square miles.
OF this total, Canada measures 100000
square miles New Brunswick 2sO00 !;
Nova Scotia. 10000; Prince Edward.
Island, 1000 and Newfoundland, 81 900 /;
