God has given us this cold N%orthland, as
you call It, for his purposes. and they involve
character as well as success; yet he has given
US the element Of a nation. No part Of
Canada is really populated yet; New Bruins
wick alone has 1900 square miles of most
fertile virgin land awaiting the settler,
besides all her timber, shipping and fisheries.
We strive to realize the purposes for which
this land was given us.
You say we appear to you a very serious
people. and ! think you will ind among all
our sects the same feeling, that we are here
for duty rather than happiness Yes, We are
a serious people, and we have set ourselves
seriously to the task Of making a great ma
ton. There Is abundant room in Canada for
a nation of forty million people, and we trust
they will be an earnest and God fearing peo-
pie. respecting themselves and their neigh
borsl We do not underrate the greatness Of
the United States, but we claim some advan-
tages in general character and steadiness Of
purpose. Fear God and honor the kingr is a
divine command We do not profess to have
outgrown. We have all the liberty we want,
and a government that responds readily to
the will Of the people. But we feel-at least
l feel, and those associated with mo-that we
can best develop character by maintaining
our present relations, and, after all, charac-
ter is the thing. ! believe w4 have the right

a very strong sentiment In favor Of freer
trade relations, but that Canada is to choose
her own course, develop her own character
and work out her W destiny, is, l am sure,
the sentiment Of al immense majority.
am particularly struck with the fact
that this feeling is not bounded by race. The
Irish are, If possible, more enthusiastic Ca
nadians than those Of English blood, and the
Scotch Catholics most enthusiastic of all.
This seems very strange to one familiar with
the attitude Of the Irish in the United States,
and Of course a chance traveller may be badly
mistaken, but there is no discord in the sound
that m to my ears. Thomas Darcy
MCGEE, for instance, is regarded by men Of
all races as a sort Of martyr to Canadian
nationality, and though he was a Young
Ireland" agitator in his native land, no one
in Canada thinks of raking up the events Of
1850 in weighing his public services. he
was an ardent Canadian-that is sufficient.
He was killed $50 the popular opinion runs
in consequence Of his loyalty to Canada; he
therefore takes his place in the Canadian ma
tional Pantheon. Similarly the governor
styled lieutenant GOVERNOR Of Prince Ed
wards Island, Hon. A. A. Macdonald, is Of
pure Gaelic-Scotch blood, and the premier,
Hon. W. W. Sullivan, of pure Irish blood,
and both Catholics, yet both are As ardent
Canadians as any I met
There is, however, a general feeling in favor
Of closer trade relations with the United
States, a willingness to concede much for
concessions in return, and l venture to guess,
as a Hoosier Yankee may, that this sentiment
will prevail over 1.-THE government" as they
call the men in power at the time. As to
the Canadian national sentiment generally l
cannot do better than to set it forth in the
words Of an Ontario editor, on q religious
paper, I believe:
