BUCKALEw IN CANADA.-What was
Guckalcw doing in Canada during the re-
bellion in consultation with Ilolcombe,
Clay, Thompson and others ? This is
have like to have had explained at the
meeting in the Court House, on Monday
evening last, but were deprived of that
pleasure. Not q word was said about the
visit to Canada or what he was doing there.
1t is well known however, that Thompson.
Clay and Holcombc were at the Clifton
House, Niagara Falls, with million dol
lars in gold to pay incendiaries ID burn the
cities of the North, and destroy the steam
boats owned largely by Mr.. Buckalew's
constituency in western Pennsylvania and
and melting the "Sons Of Liberty" to rise
in insurrection against the draft. Mr..
Thompson reports to the Secretary of State
| of the Conlederacy that "a daring attempt
had been made 10 burn Ne,c York" and
that "a great destruction Of steamers at
St. Louis was caused" through the act OF
man to whom he paid money for this
dastardly act. Mr.. Holcombe reports also,
/ to Benjamin, THAT HE MET CHARLES r.
/ BUCKALEw IN CANADA, and that i'll the
Efforts made by himself, and cOnspiratOrs,
to put themselves in communication with
the leading spirits Of disloyalty, insurrec-
ton and incendiarism in the North, they
were successful.
Mr.. Thompson, discussing the contem'
plated iusurrection in the North through
the Sons of Liberty" led by their 'mas
ter spirits" says Il was received among
them with cordality. Its organiza
ton was essentially military it had its
commanders of divisions, of brigades, O
regiments and Of companies. The
Goth of July (lS63) was fixed as the day
for movement. 1t was necessa
ry to have series of public meetings to pre-
pare the public mind the first one was al
Peoria, and to make it a success, agreed
that so much money as was necessary
would be furnished by me The vast mu
titudes who attended seemed to be swayed
but by one idea-Peace."
The property of Pennsylvanians had
been burned at st. Louis. A rutiian hao
gold in his pocket to burn more boats a
Cincinnati. A daring attempt had beer
made to ourn New York. Another wretch
had money to introduce loathsome diseases
into Northern cities. Others had more Il
