Dr. WILSON referred 10 tho strange Geiusion Of the
Americans that Canada desired TO cast In our lot
with theirs and showed how thoroughly It must have
dspelod by recent events, oving that the Cana
d prepared to stand as one man In defence OF
the rits lag Ho said that Canadians too, tie late
crisis haa useful, iuasmuch rs 1t had taught them
u feel their own ehgih. Even In these few
weeks II appeared Cana had risen from state OF
puage state Of manhood, sho took her sttnd side
by with the great mother ready to dare the
worst d. the best her behalf. In the course OF
his spec also no referred the American civil war and
