always maintained towards the Union ever
since the commencement Of this unreasona-
Bile rebellion; and am confident that.
should war break ont between this country
and Great Britain, before the close of the,
rebellion, many brave patriots, in whose
bosoms burn the fires of liberty, would
flock to our ranks to aid in upholding our
glorious banner of freedom. | also find
that many Of the people look forward with
hope to time when they shall constitute
portion Of tins great Republic. So much
for Canada and its people,
In our own city, / find things, and the
people in general, about the same as they
were two months ago, except that as spring
draws near, their faces wear a more solemn
expression than usual. This is in antici-
patton Of the coming struggles, which We
all trust will be the closing act of this hor-
riblc drama. This sad expression on the
eountenances of our people is not one OF
fear for the result Of the campaign, for un-
der the direction Of the present able com
mander of the Army Of the Potomac, we
feel certain Of victory but it is for the des
olation it viii bring to many heretofore
happy home Our people have long ago
resolved to fight it out to the last man and
the last dollar, the sneaking copperheads,
Of whom there arc a few in orr midst, al
ways excepted, and, il needs be, our brave
women, God bless them, sooner than
see this foul rebellion succeed, will q hang
their harps on willow tree" sling the
knapsack, shoulder the musket, and join
our brave boys in the field, to aid in crush
ing out the last remnant of secession and
It's advocates, whether in the South, or at
ouR own homes in the North.
Next Thursday, Providence permitting,
the address before the Union Club, by Hon.
Edward Everett, will be delivered at the
fremont Temple. It was to have been de-
livered last evening, but the inaisposition
Of NIr Everett prevented. Meanwhile we
are IN anticipation of rare treat on the
occasion, and trust that sickness will not
again be the cause Of disappointing us. We
also hope that he will mete out deserved
rebuke to the miserable copperhead tories,
who, by their polluting presence and ven
omous speech, are doing all in their power
to give aid and comfort to the traitors, and
discourage our people in the prosecution Of
the war.
Cold, clustering, stormy March is past,
and sunny April, with its gentle showers,
odoriferous blossoms, and feathery song
sters, has set in. The streets present an
unusual business look, and strangers, mostly
merchants, throng the city. One would
scarcely believe by the appearance presented
on Washington street, that the nation is en-
gagged in struggle for life.
