begeing for Offices in advance Ottawa place
which, though within the bounds Of civilization
far distant from the centre he certain not 10 be

Kingston and Toronto each Of which claimed TO be the
htest choice VIII JOIN In denouncng the little rival which
has cut them all out; and Ia likely that the decision
Of the bone authorities will not be confirmed. Tho
Colonial Secretary, like some Brsh statesmen Of the
smaller calibre, Ia afraid Of Brother Jonathan
some day kicking up bobbery, and attempt
nexston, and he has no doubt chosen Ottawa az the
safe,t place for the records OF the government We In
Canada have no such fears We don't believe that
will ever take place between England and America and
does records will be Just safe Montreal or

The general election over and the papers are busy

sentatves at his back Lower Canada has gone different

contest between the two provinces. Upper Canada de-
mands representation In Parliament according 10 the in
creased population which she has lately acquired lower
Canada refuses and desires that each province shall have
an equal number, although she has three hun
dred thousand less population than hW sister
Upper Canada demands the unsecaran system Of schools

with her Catholic population, wishes the church 10 have
charge Of education the contest OF old fogyis with
Young Canada, eager 20 push In the race OF empire
