CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

rill's Views on The Snbiect.


Hon. Justin :, Morrill, in the Forum1
If the British North American provinces
were firmly and unitedly resolved upon in
dependence or upon union with the United
States it i, quite improbable that Great Bri-
tain would resist their determination as a
rebellion, but all the power Of the crown and
all the power Of Nictoria's loyal subjects
would ne vigorously cxerted to nip it in the
bud and prevent the provinces from ever
reaching any resolution to sundor their
present relations with the mother country.
Great Britain. with - mony widely distlib.
utod Dependencies, cannot afford to risk her
prestige among European nations 10y a re
mncation Of all power over the American
provinces. 4 break here might prove an
example elsewhere for other breaks in the
empire. So earnest will he the resistance of
Engishmen 70 such an overture, inside and
outside of the Canadian provinces, that its
occurrence is not likely TO happen during
TIE present g"ueration---alwavs provided
that any war of Great Britain shall not call
for too large a sacrifice on the part OF the
provinces, where they have no more interest
than they have in Egypt or Afshanistan.
There are many grave topics that would
require definite settlement prior 10 any po-
litica union. For instance, while the mum

which fixes the ratio of representation ac-
cording to the number of inhabitants, the
possibly large number OF Canadian States
to be repres MED in the United States Sen
ate would require profound consideration.
There are eight of the provinces which APP
pear hitherto TO have had a separate and
Independent autonomy in their form of pro
vincial governments. These are :

MIXED FARMING

is quite an important idea. We are a dairy
State but we should raise mixed stock. The
future of sheep husbandry looks better than

produces valuable fertilizer, and small

The cost is much less than for either the dai

At the Massachusetts, State meeting of ag
