ton ready to move, and immense supplies
stored at Burlington, Ogdensburg. Platts-

garded in Canada, only occasion smiles on

Tcnadinn Affairs.
CHICAGO, March ia Canadian cor
respondent gives a plausible theory for the
military hubbub asserting that it is based
on no real sense of danger. but is man
aged so that opposition may be silenced
and the Confederation scheme carried next
month in Parliament. The alarm being
sounded so soon after the meeting of the
Governors in Montreal is significant, and
the belief that the whole thing is for po-
litical purposes is hourly taking hold Of
the public. If this be the real object, it
will in oil probability be successful, for all
parties seem to have forgotten their diff
f~erences and united for defense.
