CANADA AN ARM OF STRENGTH AGAINST THE RE-

II anything were needed to convince that the as
sumed indifference of England to the retention OF her
canadian province ts pretence and sham, Of piece
With the proverba dupcity OF that schemng and willy
Power, 1t Is furnished by her during our re-
cent war Four years ago, while our government was
In danger, she took advantage Of her possessions
this continent TO throw sixteen thousand well armed
flank Her public began talk about disputed
rtoy and the injustice Of the Maine boundary and
10 hint at the recognition Of the rebel government.
The truth is England has always used, and desires TO
continue TO use, Canada OF strength against
the United States England is weakened by holding
canada for her soil be invaded through her colonies
say some But what England for invasion that
only costs her the lives of army Of her colonsis,
whom she regards sturdy beggars and Of garrison

WHAT ENGLAND DOES DESIGN
But these family arrangements being Knocked in tho
head by the collapse of the rebellion and the triumph Of
the government OF the Union and tho great republic
coming out Of the conflict with her nerves braced her
snews strong her bayonets sharp and her powder dry
ready 10 punish her and push onward TO her

be no hope now Of portionns States but there At
and incumbent upon US TO be prepared.
England, our enemy, although not 80 bold one in our
triumph as she was IN our Distress now designs under
the pretence of egtmaely aiding her colonies to put
herself in position any time Extensively with
France as her ally against the OF tho United

AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND
AGAINST THE UNITED STATES
Let those who scott at the idea of secret alliance be-
tween France and England against the American
republic remember the union and svmnathv that
existed between those Powers in all their acts during our

France and England at the sudden Termination OF the
war; before any step towards its close wond
be taken by either Power Let them reflect upon the
coincidence of the movement Of Fra An Movico and
the movement of England in Canada towards the
ton there OF new nation Let them look at the re.
review of the war marine of England and France
