CANADA AND ANExATz0N.-During the pro-
gress of the European capitalists throughout
the West the leading spirit Of the party,
Sir Morton Psto, made many shrewd, sem
sibls and statesmanlike remarks about the
wonderful resources of our country. But the
moment Sir Merton touched British soil In Co.
NADIA he seemed to cover his sagscity - with
bushel, and to lose sight Of the power and pre-
ponderating influence Of the United States ON
the American continent. Judging from the
tone Of speech delivered by him to the Board
of Trade in Hamilton, Canada, about the 10th
instant, Sir Morton seems to be impressed with
the idea that the question Of the annexation Of
Canada is one not seriously contemplated BY
the people Of the United States nor actually
entertained by the Canadian population. In
this Sir Morton exhibited forgetfMnes o6lthe
reiterated declarations Of member Of the pre-
sent Cabinet in Washington declarations that
have been endorsed by more than one public
meeting-and also very superficial knowledge
of the temper Of the Canadian people. Sir Nor
ton implies in bis remarks that the separation
of Canada from the British government would be
q matter of indifference to the latter. This may
be, and probably is the case. But his inference
that Canada could exist as an independent
Power on this continent is erroneous. Sepa-
rated from Great Britain, Canada must join the
federal Union or become more insignificant
Power than either Of the little Central Ameri-
can republics.
Sir Morton advises the Canadian population
to be content with their present relations.
They cannot. His own operations and mag
nifcent enterprises demonstrate that the Cana
dams are not content with their present condi-
ton, politically or commercially. They are
secretly warm for annexation to the United
States. Not rail put down nor the span of
bridge constructed by Sir Morton connecting
Canada with the United States but cements the
fraternal feeling and commercial Interests be-
tween the people on both sides of the st. Law
| renee, the Niagara and the lower and upper
lakes. The more Sir Morton developes the
resources of Canada the more the Canadian
population will desire annexation, and the
more Indifferent the British government is in
| regard to the future condition Of Canada the
sooner will that country fall into the lap of the
Union. Canada is rapidly annexing herself
Sir Morton Peto is doing the best thing in the
world to bring about such consummation.
He is linking Canada to the Union with bands
| of iron and ribs of granite.
NEGRO RULE FOB New ENoLAND.-It is very
evident from recent advices that the negro
troops are no longer needed in South Carolina
or any of the other Southern States. The work
of reorganization under President Johnson's
policy is progressing so favorably everywhere
that the negro troops have nothing to do, nor
are they required there. Even South Carolina
is becoming one of the most peaceable local.
ties in the whole country. We advise the
President to withdraw the colored troops from
that section and send them Immediately to
New England. The latter locality, under the
teachings of the radicals, is becoming excited.
The leaders are threatening another revolution
and need close watching. They claim that the
President should take certain steps on the
ground that military rule still prevails, and we
trust that Mr.. johnson will take them at their
word and forthwith garrison every portion Of
New England with negro troops.
There is no telling what the political con.
spirators of the radical school may not do il
they are allowed to continue their plotting and
scheming. The radical Jacobins there have
already threatened reputation, revolution
and numerous other things if their ideas
are not adopted Senator Sumner has even
gone 80 far as to advocate in executive
session of the Senate the impeachment O.
Mr. johnson. All this shows the animus of the
New England radicals and the necessity o
their being closely watched. Those fanatics
manifest great love and devotion for The
negroes. The best thing that the Presiden
can do is to put the negro troops on duty q
their very doors. We know no better way Il
prevent revolution in that locality. What 1
done should be done Immediately. The radi
7 calls are busy night and day embittering th'
minds of their followers, and If left alone viii
soon become so bold that it will take mor'
than the present number of enrolled blacks t
keep them straight. But by the immediate
withdrawal of all negro troops from thu
South, and their proper distribution Throughout
New England, all trouble may be averted, ant
the conspiracy in that locality nipped in th'
bud. Great care should be taken to place sui
