pIsUNIoN OF THE CANADAs.

THEY have gotta little the start Of us
in Canada. There the subject OF the dis
solution Of the union is actually under dis
cussion in the Legislative Assembly. We
do not mean the dissolution Of oar Z nion,
hut Of the Canadian union. This debate
is based on two resolutions, offered by Mr..
Brown, leading Upper Canadian pelltt-
clan, aud representative Of Toronto. ,
The first Of these resolutions sets ierth
that the existing Legislative union Of Up
per and Lower Canada has failed to rea'
lie the anticipations of its promoters has
resulted in a heavy debt, burdensome tax,
| alton, great political abuses and universal
dissatisfaction, and proceeds to express
the opinion that the antagonists between

form, cannot be continued with advantage
The second resolution proposes as a sub.
stitute for the present system, the forma.
ton Of two or more local governments, TO
have the control Of local matters, subject,
however, TO some underlined joint authority
charged with such matters as are necessa-
Tily common TO both sections.
There is unqucstionably Il good deal OF
nutaronism between the two sections OF
Canada. The existing union was forced
upon both provinces BY the British Co
contrary 20 the wishes Of both.
AT the same time they have many common
interests, best administered by common
government a fact etnphatically admit
ted by the disanion resolutions themselves,
which, after FIRST disuniting the provinces,
propose ia bring them together again ur.

that in the course Of the twenty-three
years that the nnion has existed very
considerable progress has been made to-
ward assimilating the two provinces. The
present movement seems indeed 10 be an
entirely Upper Canadian movement, and
TO be mainly prompted by the fact that
the Ministry III power derive their priRci,
pal support. from the representatives of
the lower province.
As TO economy, debt and taxation, il
hardly seems probable that anything would
be gained upon these points BY having
three or four governments TO support in
stead Of one, while, after all, the great
points Of controversy and divergence would
still continue to exist, and would be apt

We do not Judge however, that the

any expectation that it will be carried in

FRIENDSHIP.

FRIENpsEfIr, to be lasting, must not be
cyerstraincd The moment that it assumes /
the odious form Of obligation, it is lost,
and is no longer friendship, but interest.
When the chords are too tightly drawn
when they bind, that wetare powerless,
and we are drawn together with q /
view to temporal advantages, they arc
likely to burst and often oyerShclni man
in their ruin,
That friendship is the most lasting which |
springs from a similarity OF feelings and |
tastes; for when bound by intellectual
cords, mankind are more closely drawn
together. Difference in station and SEN
timents, will coalcsce no sooner than oil
and water. The benefit derived must be
mutual and alike; and the moment one
rises to be superior to the other, usually
Ieals the doomof friendship. .~ WI: 4. =. 4: IT,.
Man is Jealous, not to say envions, A
person becoming more exalted than his

our superior, and that we should treat

pA. We have heard great deal of complaint
during the past summer, against the management
of the Edgefeld and Kentucky Railroad, and we
have ourselves seen enough to convince us that it
has been, in many respects very reprehensble.--
That the managers OF that road have never shown
any disposition to accommodate our company, or to
further their interests is notorious fact while
company have always shown TO them a spirit of
friendly accommodation and Cancellation. One Sc
rious complaint against the Edgcfeld and Ken
lucky Co. we have heard from passengers; and that
is that they make their trains too much Of an ac-
commodation affair for local and personal interest
without that regard for the public interest and con-
venicnce that they ought TO feel. We are told that
il has frequently been the case that the passenger
train has been delayed, and overloaded, by hitch
ing on cars, loaded with croSs-tes, plank and other
lumber and when this has been tho case our trains
have had to "wait for the plank wagon" and be
behind time, else come on, aud leave the passen-
gers to do the best they could in the juncton-wil-
derness till next day. About these and other an
noyances, we have heard loud complaints and it is
time they were abated. We take no pleasure in
thus finding fault, but it is due to the travelling
public that such attention should be shown to their
interest and convenience as their money entities
them to.

pie, and ~. Leavel made a fine speech. Judging
from his effort here know he win do good service
in his field Of labor We haven't space to speak at
any length Of Mr.. Leavells speech, as we should
like to do; but hope we may yet have the pleasure
Of having him among us again, before the canvas
closes.
After Mr.. Leayell, had concluded his speech, he
was followed by B. A. Rogers Esq. and Mr.. II. r.
Burnley. They both made short but effective
speeches Mr. Rogers has made speeches in parts
Of the county already, and is enlisted for the war;

fe8. An old man. named Tatum, was murdered
recently, in Dickson County, by three men who
went to his house TO rob him of his money. They
went there, II is sad after night, and told him they
wanted his money, and upon his telling them they
should not have it. and turning to go into his house.
they fired upon him killing bin, Instantly. AL
though they thus murdered the old man, they did
not get his money, being frightened Off it is sup
posed, by fear that the screams of some women,
who happened to be in the house, would bring some
one there to detect and identify them. They ran
of but every one Of them has since been taken,
and lodged in the Charlotte Jail. One of them was
arrested while at the mourners bench, at big meet
ing, in the neghtorhoodl lie had on his person,
then, the bloody knife with which he had helped to
