1t would surely, then, be wisdom on our part even
II we tnought IL would be to our material benefit to
ppecome 50 many States of the Union, to walt for
tlme and TO see what the Union is permanently TO
pc II strife should revive between the North and
Soutn-as is only too likely to be the case-the
chances are that New Engldnd-whch Is becoming
every day more like old Engand-would seek annex
alton to us, in order to get the benefit of mo-
combined, which has made the empire to which we
belong the proudest, the freest and the most power
ful that ever existed in the world.
From the Toronto Globe.
IL is idle to talk OF independence before the coun-
try asks for it, is in position to receive It, At
the present time we have nothing in the world to
gain by it, but have great deal which we might
lose. The defects in our commercial relationship
can be remeded well while we are colony as in
there is any magic in the fact of being an indepen-
dent nation which will cause the United States to
grant better terms than they now do.
From lie Journal de Quebec.
The organs of public opinion have been absorbed
in one question which almost all discuss from the
same point Of view. With some exceptions they
denounce the project Of some Utopians ami hypo-
critics who try to bring about q new constitutional
revolution before the consolidation of the order
OF things has been terminated.
From the Courier de 50. Hyacinthc
Mr. Huntington makes us lose confidence in his
opinions, since he atlrms without proving that the
actual regime is prejudcial to us as concerns our re-
lations with the mother country Who furnished us
with money to build the Grand Trunk and the otner
works which have so much contributed towards the
development Of wealth, If it be not English cap-
tasts? Further, VIC have yet need of their help TO
bring confederation to prosperous end. And VINO
will protect our ships and commerce If we abandon
the protection of the English nag. They reply, we
will organize consulates. True, but that VIII pro-
baby cost us million of dollars annually The
question at present will be whether the English
manufacturers do no damage to that extent. When
Mr.. Huntington can show that, we VIII see IL IL be
wise to range ourselves under his banners.
From the Volunteer Reoieao
We confess with feeling akin toshame that there
10 in n
right for mess of pottage who forgetting the ira
dtons of the old land, would fly to evils they know
not Of These people forget that there is upon this
North American continent a race which will net
prove recreant to the fatherand a race that
cherishes its nationality along with its Christianity
race that will not forget ignore the history which
records the proud deeds OF its ancestors; race
which clings to the proud old flag, and will uphold 1t
against all odds; which will not lightly resign British
freedom for republican tyrnnny. Here there is re-
qured, and thank God we have, equal to the hour
men who will raise their breasts as bulwarks against
the seething tide OF fanatica liberalism-men who
will not exchange positive good for negative advan-
tage On them we rely.
