STAMPEDE FROM THE STATES.

The Hamilton, C. W. Spectator says that the
present untoward position ot attuirs in the States |
—the certainty of an enermous vational debt, no}
watter how the struggle eventuates, aud the con-
sequent heavy taxes, together with a prospect of!
a draft to fill up the broken ranks of their armies |
—have caused quite a stampede trom the other
side of the lakes wwte Canada. And this movement
is not coufined to the yeung men and floating
population of the Norther+ States, but extend to
the class the least accessible to alarm the tarming |
community. Every day we observe, in our ex-|
changes, notices ot this stream ot immigration,
which promise to become very extensive; aud
now, in Hamilton, there is evidences of the same
jact. On the ¢2nd ult., says the Spectator :—“Mr.
Josias Bray, (a8 he informs us) was occupied
nearly the whole of the day iv giving information
and advising farmers from the States respecting
the sale of their property there, aud the best dis-
tricts in Canada im which to setile. His office
was crowded, during the early part of the day,
with persons of this class—a Significant sign of the
feelings of a considerable portion in the Northeru
States regarding the war and its effects upon their
prospects, and at the same time a most hopeful
augury as respects the advancewent of our own
Province. While we must continue to deplore the

For THE EXaMIne’:.
In accordance with a communication in the

‘Examiner’ of the 7th ultimo, a meeting of the |
inhabitants ol what was hitherto called the Quag- |
mire was held on Moaday, the 1] tb inst., in order |
tu change the name. Mr. A. Allan was reqnested |
to act as Chairman and J. H. Fitzgerald as Se- |
eretary. i
Alter a few names being suggested to the meet-
ing. the name of the celebrated Irish hero of the
Hundred Battles was finally adopted, viz—"Wel-
lington”; so ater giving three, cheers to perpe-
tuate the name of that great and victorious Ge-
neral and eminent statesuian, and, I way say, iu
a great measure, the preserver of the Crown for
the present illustrious Reyal Family and the per-
petuation of one of the greatest dy nasties that the
sun ever shone upon, the meeting separated, but
not until they took a geod libation of Mr. Allan's
ae beverage, geuerously given by his worthy
Less.

We muy adwif tuo tat, as mor-ai sin is a very

disagreeable thing, and in some of its forme very
hasty indeed, so books designed exclusively for
teaching those whose profession ealls upon them
to deal with it, how to detect its presence, and
arrest its ravages, must contain much not fitted
tur general reading. The same holds true of
many parts of the Bible, of medical treatises, and
works on criminal jurisprudeace. We would vot
ceriainly put a book treating either of phyrivlogy
or ot the morbid anatomy of the human heart,
into the bands of young persons of either sex tor
indiscriminate perusal; and there are maay
passages in the Bible which no modest young
woman would like to read aloud in the company
ot young men. Yet it by no means tollows that
eliner the Bible, or treatises instructing the
coutessor how to deal with cases of mortal sin,
are immoral. As to the effects of the Confessionai
upou those who mest trequently resort to it, we
uced vuly appeal to the statistics of any Catholic

purity, the “ ineredjble parity” of the women bas
