RUSSIA is going to be among the largest

advance the development of her resources, and
there will be steadily increasing demand for
years to come for mechanical and agricultural

selves to us, with England's consent, they
would be accepted with reluctance.
What we do desire from them is treaty of

products with them upon terms mutually fair
and advantageous; and we have little doubt

There was but one case in which the posses
sion OF British North America could have be-
come matter of consequence to the limited
States. Had the rebellion succeeded IL worlld
have been a political necessity for us to hold
the British North American provinces; for
without this, as the last two years of the war
showed, they would have been the field of con-
slant political intrigues and hostile expeditions
against us, by southern agents. With the best
Intentions, the governments of the provinces
were unable to preyentour enemies swarming
in that neutral territory, and plotting and pre-
pairing there, and launching thence, all kinds
ofillegal expeditions against the people in the
northern and eastern states.
But the rebellion is crushed, Americans
rightly prefer that the provinces shall remain
English; and we beg them not to lay out mon
ey on Notifications, with any idea of keeping
"the Yankees" out. We do not want to go
there, except to trade, unless we should have
war with England; but in that event it would
be the part prudence in Canadians to make
