bE5s- The citizens of Canada, We learn, are moot
ing the question of forming government as much
like ours as the Home Government will permit
They had better wait awhile. Our government is
getting to be as bad as that of MEXICO, and any
ism foothold will prove disastrous to the morals
and general prosperity of the province. Our sys-
ten is for people honest and intelligent, but in
the hands Of knaves it is mserably poor concern.
Self-government is beautiful theory, but the peo-
pie capable of it are not now on the Continent of
America, and under locoSoco rule, never will be-

pkS- Il is tho boast Of the locofocos, even now,
that they alone have the power to save the Union
Yes to save it as the wreckers save the stranded
.hip--for the plumber it affords. They boast that
they have saved it again and again but il they
have, again and again, have tiey plundered it, and
rot the first step have they taken TO its
perpetuty. On the contrary, they have played
with its dearest interests for Ie-ty success and
santly applied the corrosive acid Of sectional gall
to its strongest bonds until by one, they have
been eaten away and the magnificent structure
stands by the force of habit only. Every compro-
mise of COLLECTING interests and opinions which wis
dom had devised for the safety of the Union they
have violated; every honest and patriotic impulse
of the American heart which once beat warmly for
liberty and Union, they have weakened, or debased
by corruption. and every fundamental principle up
on which our institutions rest has been overturned
by their radical hand. The great disturbing ee-
ment Of sectional harmony is slavery agitation
Have they made one single effort 10 remove it p
Name the time, and the measure They have fos-
tered that dangerous element as an instrument
party victory, until it has grown beyond their
troll, and they call upon the Opposition to re-
store that power it which they have WELD
ed for mischief; and even whilst echo is repeating
that call it is interrupted by ocofoco shouts for
Douglass--the arch enemy of the South, but the
available candidate for the Presidency.

Efay@ 1t is strongly iutimated, in various quarters
Of the South, that the Charleston Convention must
repudioc squater sovereignty, and go for interven-
ton for protection, or the southern locoocos will
withdraw from that body and dissolve the Union.
We can not believe that the fate of this Republic
is in the hands of those who have perverted its
principles and trihed with its interests for party
purposes, do we believe that the great body Of
the American people will suffer locofoco Conven-
ton, constituted of political knaves quietly to dis
pose of Union yet dear to ali good men-a Union
that has been oppressive to the South only through
the misdeeds OF the very party threatening its
dissolution. A row in the Charleston Convention
ought to have more bearing upon the fate of the
Union than any one of the rows which have here
ofore characterised the Of that harmonious
party, and the good men of the country ought to
see to it that it shall have other effect than the
utter annihilasiOn Of loeofocoism. The arrogant
pretensions of that party TO the power to save or
destroy the Union, at will, should at once be met
IN the spirit of resolute defiance, and in the
Charleston Convention be hailed the defeat OF
locofocoism and the triumph of patriotic conserva-
tism. Let that Convention fail to nominate, and
the coast is clear for the election of sound ma
tional man, to be followed--let us hope-by the
overthrow Of sectionalism. But if the signal de-
feat of the ocofoco party fails 10 restore peace tn
the Union, and to impart honesty and wisdom and
patriotism to the administration of the Government,
then "let the Union Slide" Let none despair Of its
safety till this experiment is tried endanger its
safety by hasty and ill-advised words and actions.

New EoRE ELECToN.-The official returns Of the

orally, and the Republicans particularly, that they
held the balance Of power in New York. We re-
joice at the result and hope that the party which
has so long had full swing in the Empire State will
hereafter 'roost a little lower In regard to the
purposes of the Americans, the New York Express
