| COMMENTS eF LORD PALMERsToS's ORGANS.
| From the London Times.
The Government, which sends three egiments t.
Canada at this crisis, means something more thar
routine. It Is manifsstly intended to be signih
cant fact. It is denomination. Well what is it tc
| dsmoRstrale? Is is TO OVersWe any one? Is is q
pledge Of future action? On the first superstition
| it would be ridiculous, on the second it would be
most mischievous. Are these z, 500 men to gar
| risen the from Ter Of Canads? They are not
| two men to every mile Of froatier. Let us sup
pose that there is some necessity to oyersWe
some threatening enemy. Surely it cannot BE-
expected that any enemy VIII could think Of
Attracting TO their own territory thriving sad in
cressing people, inhabiilg az enormous country,
would be deferred by so small sn increase to the
force Of tn 1t country the three regiments who
are to 20 out in the the Great Eastern? Excel
lent as they are in discipline, equipment and
sge they are but three battali9ns, and Canada has
40G, coo square miles, Ii, then, this measure is
not q menace, is II q pledge! Is this appearance
eff small body Of English troops to be considered
as an assurance to the people ofCansds that IN
case Of attack they may rely upon these islands to
send them armies for their defence aud treasure t.
defray the cost Of their wars Toronto and Mon
treal have nothing to do with Canadian war, and
that they may buy and sell and live at esse, for
that Yorkshire and Lancashire and Middlesex will
work for their defence, and give meut die for their
safety II this be so We protest, not only in the
name Of this country, but also in the interest #
Canada, against any such promise. We can con-
ceiVs nothing more destructive TO political con-
cord In this country than such . demand on the
part Of any GtVarnmsnt, sId We know Of nothing
which could operate 80 i'll upon the dignity n
self-respect Of Canada. That Colony is perfectly
able to take care Of herself The only enemy
who eau attack her is Northern America We are
not now caleulatiDg the probabilities Of such 81
event. What 8 eaprieious or turbulent peopls
may do In passion or resentment or in the pursuii
Of Ehas they may suppose TO be policy, we do not
