The aNOr' Eester," published away up in
the country of the Red River Of the North,
speaks thus boldly in complaint Of the Brit
Ish Government and for annexation to the
United States;
ssThe very peculiar system of government
which prevails in this country bids fair to
drive usinto annexation 10 the United States.
Popular opinion runs very strongly in this
direction. On all hands, in all quarters, at
al places and times this tendency manitests
itself Were it confined to the thoughtless
and the ignorant, 81 explanation could easily
be given which would not necessarily imply
misgoEernment OF any other vexatious hard
ship; OF were It limited TO the young-tO
natives of the country-or to American oiti.
Esns, IN any case, the answer would be ready
and conclusive. But Amerieanism has be-
come rampant with ell classes, ages and con
disions. Even old SeOtchmen and English
men-men born and brought up in the old
country, and heretofore strongly British in
their feelings and pFeferenoes-now join in
the general outcry against British connec-
ton, and charge their change OF sentiment to
our utterly uH-British form of government
and to the indifference of Home Government
What is the use-ssy they-of being con-
necssd with Britain, when the connection Is
merely nominal2 Il is q mere name, an
empty sound, a meaningless designation.
In Canads, Australis, Vancouver's Island,
or any other colony, the British name repre-
eens all that is valuable in government, all
that is advantageous in commerce, all that is
glorious in history. They enjoy responsible
systematically have security for life and
s7ty--they have sure and ample re-
ward for the labor of their hands-they have
every advantage, peouniary and other, which
free and happy Britons enjoy in the mother
csuRtFy, under the very shadow of the British
lion. But In the Bed River country British
connection is worthless.
This is the language, Oft repeated, Of the
great majority Of the people here. e is no
doubtful waYering sound; lis the frm, un-
finehing tone Of deep dissatisfaction. Facts
zse stubborn things, and We must deal with
them as we fnd then. Va do not go for
annezasion to the United States, but in the
-Pfssencs of this Ell-pervading sentiment, We
Rre powerless, for its reasons are indisputable.
That the Government is utterly unsuited to
the times, absurd in form, and impotent for
the purposes of good government We must
entirely admit. The fact Is palpabls, and
denial would bees useless as apology would
be unreasonable and unpatriotic.

A M ERICAN WATCHES
FOR AMERICANS!
No More English or French Rubbish, made
to sell, but not to keep time.

Why should an American buy foreign Watch,
when he can get better and cheaper one at homer
Why should an American needlessy enrich
foreign Watch manufactures at the expense of our
own artisans?
Why should an American senG gold to Eng land
and France, our covert but bitter enemies, when
gold Is SO much needed at home?
Why should an American buy an imported
Watch, which, In nine cases out Of ten, will cost
more to keep order for ne year. than Its orgi-
nal price, and which was never intended to keep
time under any circumstances
Why should Americans not patronixe more
generally American manufactures, and thus eman-
cIpate themselves from the thrsldom of English
capital, French fashions, and Continental gew-
gsvs?
The American Watch Company's Watches are
particularly adapted for soldiers use, being most
substantially made, and not liable to get out of
order, either In marching, riding, or fighting.
