BRsT FOR
If we had independence it would be best
for
England. since 1t would relieve her of the
only weakness which exists in her American
policy. She cannot act with independence
in the Alabama claims, for instance, lest in
asserting herself she bring on us the terrible
ravagcs of hopeless war. Become inde-
pendent, and free the hands of the Mother
country. We are hostages now. If there
must be high words, let ii he understood be-
tween America and Britain that they fight
on even terms on sea, and that New York,
not Montreal, is likely to be bombarded
We give England nothing, and barring a
protection perfectly useless when it comes
TO be put in practice, and restrictions on
American trade, she gives us nothing. 1t
would be best for
BILE cause of discord between England and
do away with the foolish prejudice of senti-
ment because Of British CONNECTION, which
makes the Americans misjudge Canada, and
rctards American investments. It would,
wisely conducted, lead TO tho Zolverein,
where the profits are five to one in our favor.
1t would swamp provincial discontents. 1t
would bring to full fruition the industries OF
Canada, her carrying trade and manutac-
lures. II would place the two countries on
the same footing materially, and thus arrest
the exodus. II would make the property
holder more secure, and his property more
valuable, give the werkmen higher wages,
the employer q better business
Then why not?

We regret to see that the Cambridge Intelh-
gencer, the Republican organ of Dorchester
county, Maryland, has suspended publication.
Since the death Of its energetic editor, Mr..
straughn, nobody could be found to keep 1t
going There is, certainly, no great encourage
ment for liberal newspaper in such communities
as those of the Eastern Shore but by the example
of the Denton Union we are convinced that an
earnest man, an intelligent editor, and good
practical printer, can make his paper live, and
make his own living, besides. Is there not more
such material? We must have Republican news
papers, even in the Egypt of Maryland

THK PEACHES IN KENr.-A correspondent at

are very fine for full crop of peaches in this
county (Kent.) The growing wheat has not
looked Better for years. and il the favorable sta
son cunliners full yield will be realized. The
farmers In the western part of the county, are
planting lands with corn where, because OF wet.
ness, they have not been able to plant Tor two and
three years past. There will perhaps be Il foarth
more corn and other grains Sc. planted this
spring than were planted last sprisg. II kind
Providence continues thus to smile with bright
sunshine and blessed showers, by next December
the financial embarrassment of the people Of this
county will be relieved, and their storc-houses
loaded with plcnty."

The GaEette says that; "The COMMERCIAL has

Why should the Gdzetts bc informed as to

of the law their names will become known; If
they ultimately conclude not to do SO, their
names are none of the Gazettes business.
