From the Pittsburgh Gazette. 9Th inst.
We are glad to see In many papers, notices
Of the formation Of Union leagues. Wespokc
at length on Saturday morning on this sub
ject, and now only remark that we think It Is
the duty Of all loyal men to combine their
strength in every way in which they can rem
der it effective to sustain the Government in
Its conflict with both open and covert treason.
In the Carlisle Herald, of Friday list, we find
the following sensible remarks, which exactly
suit our own views:
UNION LEAouE.--A movement has been started
over the loyal North, having for its object tho sal
walton Of the country from the ruin that Is now
threatening It BY armed rebellion Al IN the South.
qualifications Of membership required, is simply
loyalty to the Government.
Ths qualiaeatona are not based upon any SOCIAL
standing or political creed, and the truly loyal Of
ment has been started. ~ 'D' ''''
The time has come for the Union men to draw
course, effect full and perfect Organization, and
cnter upon the work Of crushing ont the arrogant
desPotsn1 Which ls daily becoming more manifest
ginning.
Wear aware that many excellent men, whc
would not, In ordinary times, favor secret or
however good in itself. arc now honestly per
suaded that in this period Of extreme peril I:
resort to that form Of combined power Is moi
only justifiab1e but expedient.
Our armies are fully competent to The work
Of dealing with open rebellion in the South
but It requires these other organizations tc
crush out the secret treason In the North
Let us present to this Last and most danger
| ons enemy an unbroken front, 4 kbold and
open attitude of thc..most determined opposi
| tion; and if some think that, to meet Them
with their own weapons. u.s. and s't,ht thc tns aey
with fire." in the name Of all that is good ane
true Let them do 60. Anything and every
thing to save the country.

AS citizens ofthe Northwest it does not
become us to take sides in the discussion
now sure to become active in Canada, as
to the merits Of the Georgian Bay and the
Ottowa routes for ship canal between the
great lakes and the ocean. What the
Northwest needs are new and greatly in
creased. facilities of transit for her products
to the markets Of Europe, and our Cana
dian ncighbors alone have the right to de-
termine which; if my, they will open for
their own and for our benefit. For the in
formation, however, Of all those on both
sides Of the line who are interested in the
work, we publish communication from
Rivas Tully, Esq, Of Toronto, Civil Engi-
ncer, 1t comes froma source which should
command for it respectful consideration.
That the Georgian Bay route has several
important advantages over its competitor,
must be admitted by all who have com
pared the two routes. 1t lies from one to
two degrees further south, and therefore
navigation on it would continue two, per-
haps four, weeks longer than by the more
northern route. There would be 430 miles
Of close navigation on the Ottowa where
sails would be nearly useless, while there
are but II miles Of canal and slack-watel
navigation between the Georgian Bay and
Toronto. For large portion Of the way
the Ottowa route runs through q non-pro
ducing region, while that west Of Toronto
is among the finest in Canada. But thes'
and all other matters Of difference will b.
canvassed br our Canadian neighbors, AMI
in their decision the West will cheerful,
ac0uiesce.

A FRIEND INnEEn.

It is refreshing amid the storms Of false.
hood, scurrillity and objurgation, that arc
just now showered upon thcRepublic, to find
a few men in foreign lands who dare tell
the world the truth about the contest that
our people arc waging against barbarism.
OF these. Hon Geo. Brown, Of Toronto,
whose speech in a recent anu-slavery con-
vention in the city Of his residence, is be-
fore Us, deserves the warmest thanks and
most grateful remembrance Of our country
men. With the intelligence to compre-
bend the cause and nature Of the contest,
and with the couragc to utter his conyic-
