Rain.-Narious portions of the county
were visited by rain, on Tuesday afternoon
last, but Elkton and immediate vicinity
received only a slight sprinkle. At North
East they had a fine rain, enough, we be-
leve, to enable farmers to plow. This
rain extended within q miles of Elkton,
at which point it descended in torrents for
about the space of an hour.

The peaceful solution Of tho question Of

policy which win induce the people who In

British pride will DO saved II the same trans
fer is made at the instance of their own
colonists.
II Is no cause Of offence II we tax Cana
dian imports Just as we tax imports Of the
same kind from other foreign countries.
This Is what We always havo done, except
during the ten yonrs oftho reciprocity treaty,
negotiated during the disastrous administrn-
tlon of Gen. Piorco. 1t Is what We arc doing
now, and We have only to pcrseyere In II,
and We shall attract Canada to US by an i'm
pulse which will DO Irresistible. Great
Britain is no market for tho coal, or for
the bulkier agricultural products Of her
North American colonies, and has been n
very poor market for their timber since the
admission, duty FREQ, Of tho Baltic timber,
upon which the frclghts are 40 much less.
The Tory politicians of those colonies may
buster as much as they please. Our markets
arc essential to the prosperity Of their people,
and annexation will become an oycrpower-

to our hospltable fields and towns. One sin

is ruined, and nothing but annexation to the
