COLLAPSE OF TEIOmAs DARCY
mc41ER.

We printed In these columns, q few days
since, extracts from letter written to tho
Toronto Lcaaer, Copperhcad newspaper,
BY hlr. Thomas Darcy McGec, Cana
dian alaTmist. The letter contained the
remarkable assertion that tho Government
OF the United States was preparing to dis
patch 100000 men armed, equipped, and
thoroughly provided with munitions Of
war, to Montreal This stupondous raid
was set forth with an air Of authority tend
ing to impress 1tr. McGeea thln-skinned
countrymcn with the fact that he had the
private ear Of 1fr. Seward and kept the
conscience Of Mr.. Stanton, If not that Of
the President, in his breechcs' pocket. Ac-
cording1y, Mr.. McGec's constituents, and
othc1s Of the game 1k throughout the Can
adas, went into parox:"sms Of fear lest tho
hundred thousand Federals should some
fine morning cut tho provinces In twain
and tietho ends fast to this country. Loud
and desperate appeals and cntreatics wcro
made to the mother country for aid. The
Yankees were fortifying their sea coast
and strengthening their internal defences,
and Her Royal Majesty was in danger Of
losing jewel from her crown, unless a
sufficient number Of relocated grenadiers
were cent over to prevent it.
The Toronto Glo5e, however, pricks Mr.
McGee with its pen and let's out bis wind,
at the Same time allaying the tears Of tho
KanuclB. Mr. Brown, the editor, coolly
enquiries Of Mr. McGee where he obtaincd
his information, and demands that hc shall
auswer in Parliament, for the sake Of the
Provinces And Afr. McGee answers:
"hIr. Holton tod mo that Theodore Hart
"told him, that Mr. Seward had told Hart,
"that Uhen Canada Was next invaded by
"the United States, 1t would be by way Of
"N1ontreal, with 100000 men.p Satisfied
with the information, Canadian alarulists
will now s1eep better o nights, freed as
they are from the dread Of waking up In
tho morning ind finding themselves de-
pendencies Of Mr. Lincoln instead OF Queen
Victoria. However ridiculous the scare,
it has Developed three results which must
be peculiarly gratifying to them, II they
have sufficiently recovered from thei1
flight to comprehend them, First: that
the United 6tates would not take the Can
adas as git; secondly, that Her Roya
Majesty seems to ho profoundly indifEer

WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION
HAB DONE.

In these days Of war against rebels and |
assaults against the Administration by
rebels at home, Republicans are prone to
look into the future rather than at the
retrospect, and In their impatience at the
seeming slow progress Of events, and Of
the tardy approach to the desired success
forget what has been accomplished during
the last two momentous years Of our na-
tional history. Men are bewildered with
details, and do not see the rounded, complete
national successes, which the Administra-
ton have accomplished. At this moment
when the shareholders rebellion beginst to
totter, it Is well to look back over the fleld,
see what We have gained, and as certain,
whether slight errors OF detail which ap-
pertain to every government, are not over
balanced by tile successes Of its policy.
The Philadelphia North American so hnp-
ply SUMS up these successes that we can
not refrain from quoting them:

tasy Power In the world.

TO the coming elections in this State, will
be found on tho outside of our paper
The Governor asserts that the elections
will occur at the proper time, and thinks

He suggests that but one candidate be
run for each elective Office, and thereby
we can secure good and sound men. We
cordially endorse the suggestion, and do
hope there is patriotism enough and a
spirit of selfsacIiiice sufficient to adopt

The army is open to all, and there is a
broad field where men anxious to serve
the "dear people" may enter and win
distinction, honor, fame and glorious

time has no higher ambition than to frit-

litical hastings, must be poor shoat"
indeed, and will be so regarded when the
browning victory is won and the country
emerges from the conflict, dripping at
every pore, to take its stand among the
great powers of the world.
