cause of the Confederacy and the "belig.

lawful discretion with the local, provin-
cial officers to DO exercised, as their per-
sonal desires, no doubt in majority Of
cases instigated, to the benefit of the
Union and the encouragement and morti-
ication of the sojoumins agents Of the
Slavocracy. This is something worth re-
membering, that but one prominent Cana
dian journal was friend OF the rebellion
and that paper found its patronage both
by subscription and advertising so largely
diminished on the ayowed ground Of dis
appreciation Of its opinions on American
affairs that it long aimee ceased to pro-
nounce the obnoxious sentiments it, al
6rst, fastened to ayow. The people Of
Canada, as mass, have been firm and
ardent supporters of the loyal and liberty
cause in our great and desperate struggle
for national existence. This fact has been
manifested and illustrated on several i'm
portant occasions, and sweeping demon.
STATIONS of Canadians, as "sympathizers,

incorrect or prejudiced reports Of theil

The Toronto Gio6s of April 2lst has
been kindly furnished US by friend, to
whom we have frequently been indebted
for perusals. Its mammoth columns are
filed with the tidings Of President Lin
coins assassination. Over thirty Cana
dian towns and cities joined in funeral
homage to Lincoln. The Globe contains a
very interesting telegraphed account OF
the great meeting. on April 10th, in Mon
treal, at which ministers of all denomina-
tons joined in eloquent speech on the
life and character of our lamented Presi-
dent, and fervently prayed alike for con-
ISOLATION to the people and perpetuity to
the organization of the Republic in which
he was 90 Just ruler. At this meeting a
distinguished divine denounced the
American war as the foulest rebellion in
history-next to that of man against his
Creator" A minister of the Church Of
England said that he would not trust him
self to dwell upon the cowardly and das-
tardly act. He trusted the expressions Of
sympathy would not stop with this meeting
but that thewhole voice ofourpeople would
be heard" Rev. Mr.. Kemp declared
President Lincoln to be "the chieftain Of
humanity" Another and larger meet
ing, to be held under the Craftsmanship oil
the Mayor, was announced for the follow
ing day. Nor is this all the evidence Of
American loyalty to be found in the paper
from which we have quoted. Its edito-
rails commend the military authorities of
the provinces for their quick and most
honoring recognition Of the worlds ca
lamity :" and certain civil authorities are
dared to refuse the extradition of Booth
in case he should reach and be discovered
in Canada. The people Of Canada have
fully participated in the financial depre-

burden of personal losses by the fall In
the price of gold-a part the Pacific States
of the Union have not taken. lnasmuch
as the manifest destiny Of the Canadian
Provinces (quite independent of any wish
on the part of our own Government is to
be attached, ultimately, to the Republican
Union, it is our obvious political interest
to disabuse the minds of citizens Of any
such idea as that of popular hostility to
US and our institutions existing among the
of the British American Pos
sessions. Even Nova Scotia is very re-
pentans of rebelious affiliations but the
inhabitants or subjects in the Canadas
never have, as q rule, entertained other
than true respect and love for the Free
Country of which they are soon to form
