allowed its being done. But, as invisi-
bles sometimes leave their ear-marks, and,
as in this case, the hyperbole of style,and
fippancy of speech, of this scholastic
student of an earlier day, hardly comes up
to the wants of the present age; and fur
Their, since he has substituted bom6ast for
argument and reason, there is but little
notice required at my hands. On Scrip

you all about Judas and the ointment

thrashed them big fellows down south,
and how they needed it, and what it cost,
and that now we have got them in the
gutter, he will button up his coat and
Enthusiastically pass around them. He also
tells you that lunatics are crazy people.

what every body knew before they
had half read his article, that he belongs
to Balaam, and that, if his keepers would
call him in, clip his ears, and stop his
braying, they would have fit subject for
Barnum. His classifying history, and clas-

MONTREAL, April 90.--The desire OF the people OF
the New Dominion to cut loose from their dependence
upon the mother country has received powerful inn
pctus from one or two recent events, and, whatever
course may finally DO adopted there can be little
doubt that a great political change of some
sort Is not far distant. Several private
meetings of influential persons have recently
been held here. for the purpose of consider
ing tho great question of change in the form Of
government and tho general dissatisfaction with
the present state Of things and more openly
expressed. The newspapers at last beginning to
meet the question face 10 face and giving utterance
to the sentiment which has long been widely difused
among the people, though few have had courage
TO express 1t publicly. There is n party in
favor Of independence; but q larger party.

States, and will soon make itself prominent. The
acquisition Of the Husons Bay Territory has given
additional force 10 the arguments Of the annexation
lists and it is felt that such magnificent domain rs
tho New Dominion promises TO be- ought no
longer TO be dwarfed and kept down by dependence
on transatlantic government. The proposal that
Great Britain shall surrender her North American
possessions a set-off against the Alabama claims
has created deep sensation in certain circles and
not few regard it with decided favor. Senator
Summers speech is copied in full by both English
and French journals, and is of course the topic of
much discussion.
