The Toronto Globe says Of the Presiden-
tial situation in America;
To the people Of Canada it will not be
bad news that President Lincoln is likely
to be reelected. For a few years there
will be 3 likelihood Of difficult questions
arising between Great Britain and the
United States. With an Anglophcbist or
sn impetaous man in the Presidential
chair, there might be danger Of serious re-
suits. Mr.. Lincoln is q careful liberal
minded man. He is one Of the few Ameri-
can politicians who seem scrupulously to
avoid anything offensive about Great
Britain. BE is one Of the last men who
wohld needlessly involve his country in .
European war. His reelection would be
q very material guarantee Of continued
peace between the two eountries-s peace
most essential to the prosperity Of this
Pro4ince.
