CosFEDERArIoN OF THE BRITISH PROVINCES
This idea has at length received an official en-
dorsemsnt. Two commissioners were appointed
by Nova Scotia to confer with the imperial gov
eminent on the subject, and they have reported
that in an interview with the Colonial Secretary,
the question was freely discussed. The secreta-
ny said tina, the ministry had no desire to inter-
fere with the determination to which the colo
MES themselves nigh come on point so imme-
diately enecting their own interests, and that if
they think a union would advance their interests
the government would oppose no obstacle to their
wishes. The Nova Scotia commissioners there
fore consider that the question has been brough.
to point at which the 1t step must he taken
oy the colonies, and in pursuance Of this conclu-
sion the government of that province has opened
negotiations with those of the other provinces for
such confederation

Spirit OF THE MORNING PRESS.


The Union has a suggestive leader. with an
anti-hlibuster squint, going to show that the
expansive force Of q nation is no more hereafter
to be found in mere irruptions-in the spas
modic action of few individuals is real
iTed in the discovery and application of the
laws Of mechanics, the true principles in fact of
all the natural sciences. By the superior
knowledge, genius and skill possessed and EN-.
pIoyed by our people, We shall acquire and az.
Proprate just such additional territory as may
be demanded to develop what we have. 1t is
the same principle whose operation has driven
out the Indian, and whose operation will drive
out every other race that destroys, and does not
employ, the proper means to assure its preserva-
tion.
In regard to the proposed reopening of the
slave trade for the benefit of the labor market
OF Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky and North
Carolina, now depleted by the great cotton
fields of the South, the Union thinks the reme-
dy would be unavailable, for newly-imported
negroes would not be brought to Virginia, but
would be carried to those fields where their
labor would bring the greatest rewards. The
law that takes away labor would not be reversed
by the proposed supplies from Africa.
The I'stelIigsneer has no editorial to-day.
