a very large proportion would prefer an

annexation is the only sure remedy to re-

detract from the glory and grandeur of the
government which is their proudest boast,
nor willingly consent that her widespread
dominion should in the least be d minished,
yet they look upon continuance of Eng

practical. They regard their connection
with the mother country as merely nomin-
al, in no respect valuable to the Govern
ment or governed. Retaining all their
bias for the land Of birth, they regard the
matter as question Of economy aud fact.

Bat we did not intend TO write an arti-

the people of British Columbia to deter

have been suggested as PREDATORY to the
introduction of an article recently appear

in very matter.of-fact way, demonstrates
the utter fallacy OF confederation. We
commend it to our Victoria readers:
The remnant Of people holding on to
