The New Dominion. .

HALIFAX, Sept. l3.-The steamship
Hornet put to sea hurricdly last night. She
shipped a lot Of hard characters at this port
at high wages, and took on board quantity
Of coal There is little doubt that she is
bound for Cuba
RESOLUTIONS FAVoRING ANNEXATION
QUEBEC, Sept. l4.-At an annexation
meeting, held here on Sunday afternoon,
the following resolutions were adopted
FIRST. For many years past we have seen
with deep regret our real estate sink rapidly
our ship building interest disappear, per-
baps forever; our magnificent water powers,
the greatest in the aggregate of any single
locality on this continent, rush wildly past
our doors and our youth, the flower of our
population, flying to the United States in
countless thousands, from the desolation
which seems to have marked our city as its
own
Second The difference existing between
the depressed condition of this dominion
and the ever-increasing prosperity Of our
leighboring Republic, has impelled us to
! he conclusion that the difference has its rise
I lot in an imaginary boundary line, but in
/ he workings Of the institutions Of the two
Countries
/ Third. 1t is therefore the deliberate
opinion Of this meeting that steps should be
AIKEN at once towards addressing the imperial
authorities, through his Excellency the
Governor General, a respectful petition
praying to be informed whether the nearly
unanimous desire on the part Of the in
labitants of this dominion for its in
corporation with the territory of the United
| States could not receive from the British
people the same gracious reception as was
accorded not many years ago to the like re-
quest from the inhabitants of the Ionian
Islands for union with the kingdom Of
Greece
Messrs. O'Farrell, J william, and Nc
Avoy spoke at length on the subject, aud
the meeting, after naming a committee to
carry out the resolutions, broke up with
three cheer for annexation, and three more
for Mrs. O 0'Donovan, to whose approaching
arrival O'Farrell called attention. The
crowd was very orderly in its conduct and
except from a few no marks Of disap-
/ Bobation were evinced. The police did not
/ Interfere

SHALL it be said of PENNSYLVANIA that her
people love gold more than patriotism
VIII they elect Geary the brave soldier or
Packer the bloated bondholder, the purse
proud aristocrat and railroad and coal mo
nopolist? VIII they choose for ruler the
man who has risked his life in sixty battles
for his country or the skulkiDg miser who
sneaked away to foreign land in the day
of his country peril? Who can hesitate ?
No more lasting disgrace could be inflicted
upon onr State than the election of Packer.
Pennsylvania viii honor herself By re-elect-
ing Geary.

CoPPERHEADIsN would repudiate the
nauona! debt and make every greenbaek,
national bank note and Government bond
utterly worthless. 1t would make worthless
iast dollar OF the widow and orphan and
deprive them Of board and clothing to curry
favor with unrepentant rebels. Repudiation
Is nothing more nor less than bid for
rebel votes. What hon,st man, what poor
man. what soldier can support such a

the first step toward national disgrace and
national bankruptcy and general distress

PACKERS s friends have never dared to
deny that for several years past he has
regularly cheated the government out of
more than THRTY THnrS AND dollars Of
taxes and escaped BY the payment Of s8 Or

by giving him possession of the government
Of the State. IF he robs the state as a
private citizen what will be do as a public
officer? Away with such rogues. We want
honest men for state officers. Vote for
