province; and the province is accordingly tod
on all sccasions that in such case it must
manage its ewa defence. Canada must fight
her way through the trouble fhat England may
bring upon her. and England can give her no
assistance. Alas! for the good cid days when
Louis Quinze said that England "psid for all
and fought for ALL" Those days are gone by,
and that England is dead and buried under the
taxes. England no longer fights for all, and
acknowledges that she cannot even fight for her
own dependencies. Canada is referred to the
Crimean campaign as the measure Of England's
resources-a campaign in which England's
weakness was disgracefully pxoven--and the
Times rounds the whole story by the deolara-
ton that England cannot supply men for the
wear and tear Of q single great battle con-
Quoted on General Grants principles.
England has given even later evidence of her
impotence as military power than the cam
paign in the Crimea. She has shown us
how absurdly little would be her power
for war on this side the Atlantic Her
game was all hluster when trouble was threat
ened over the affair of the Trent, aud then, by
way of seasonabe show OF what might come
if negotiations would not do, England rein
forced her troops in Canada at great expense,
and by great effort she managed to send out
q force Of ten thousand men. She sent ten
thousand men to hold her frontier against
power that loses twice that many men in
single battle, and hardly ieets it. But England
was also to be defended by volunteers.
Great efforts were made to excite the English
on this subject--to get those cold John Bulls
enthusiastic, and to have the whole mass OF
the male population fall into line as the Royal
Rifles But it wouldn't do. England couldn't
be brought out to any such tune, and the whole
enrolment amounted only to one hundred and
forty Thousand men. England only had that
many men willing to say that they would fight,
and whether even that number would come to
the scratch for actual service is a very doubtful
matter.
Let Euglaad and Canada compare the force
thus shown With the force that we now have in
actua. service. or with tue force that it is pow
proven that these States possess. Fancy Eag
lands little pipe-clayed bagatelle OF ten thos
ssad men !ace to face with the army under
Grant, fought Ion Grants principes;' or with
the army uraer Sherman, fought on Grants
principles OF Shermaa's either. Remember,
also; that these armies would be reinforced by
