CONFEDERATION.

What measures of a like nature, in the
course of modern history, have not been be-
set with the gravest difficulties, and some-
ven shaken Lhe communities in which
they have eceurred lo their very centre. Was
hot such the ease in the Union of Scotland
and England, the Act having been carried
tiruugh the British Parliament by an ex-
cvedingly suall majority ; yet whocan doub:
the incalculable benefits which have resulted
ty both nations from that measure. So was
it with the repeal of the Corn Laws, of the
Navigation Acts and the Free Trade Acta ot
vurt owa times; each of which, notwith-
ttsnding the evil predictions of opposers,
have been auicag the most prominent ele-
iments in raising Britain to a positivo of un-
exampled power and prosperity.

We nut oniy believe that in a national
point of view, as in other things, Union 1s
strength, but we also believe that Union is
pros; erity, and we can ecdreely imagine the
advent of a erisis more favorabie tor securing
ty British North America the pregnant ele-
ment of both these blessings. — Christian

GUNBOATS ON TUE LAKES.

In a recent letter of the New York cor-
respondent of the London Times, the tullow-
ing ia reference tu the present temper and
attitude of our neighbours, appears :—

“Thus the sharp Yankees have stolen a
mare upon John Bull, and John Bull, as
lar as the lakes are concerned, will have to
submit to the disadvantage till the St. Law-
renee is free of wce. It a9 useless to deny or
conceal the fact that there is danger ahead
in this direction, and that the over-cunning
or tco impulsive fanatics who, for the pre-
tent, controi the destinies of the Federal Re-
public,may not mean war with Great Britain,
but only to threaten for their own purposes,
without resort.ng to the ultima ratio of Kings
and Democracies, there is so much peril in
playing with such edged tools as to make it
the duty of the British Government to be
prepared for all eventualities. Those who
live opposite ta powder magazines must have
an eye to their kre engines and water tanks ;
aod those who would live at peace with the
Americans must be strong enough to be feared,
even if they be disliked and villified. It is
quite true that the Federal Government has
wore than enough on its hands in its war
Sxainst the South, and that every true
American statesman will admit.

- Bot American statesmen are scarce, and,
Worse still, they are not in power. The
men in power, like the people they govern,
take their wishes for facts and their passions
for arguments, and no foreign statesman can

te or predict what they will do in any

given set of circumstances. Possibly, how-
ever, the anti-British war mania may subside
as suddenly as it broke out; but the British
Government ought not to forget, either now
or hereafter, that the Americans hate them ;
that they would Itke to possess British Ame-
rica, as an offset for the probable loss of the
South; that the ignorance of the people
with regard to the strength of Great Britain,
especially, and Europe generally, is only
equalled by their arrogance and presump-
tion; and that eonsequently the only safe
method of keepmmg on good terms with them
is neither to olfer insult nor to brovk it, and
to show under all circumstances that, though
they wish to avoid a quarrel, they will, ila
quarrel be forced upon them, so comport
themselves that the aggressors shall reeeivea
lesson which to all future time shai! teach
ordinary caution, if it do not teach common
hon ety.””

REUNION A WILD HALLUCINATION—NO DISTINC-
TION BETWEEN RECONSTRUCTION AXD SUB-
JUGATION,

(From the Richmond Sentinel, Jan. 20.)

No wilder halluciution could take possession of
the human mind than the belief that we could
ever again live with the Yankees on terms of
equality, or come under the same goverument
with Laem, exeept asa conquered people. Differ-
ences of habit, sentiment aud feeling, aud diversi-

tics of interest which wise legislation and conser- |
vative statesinanship wight have reconciled, have, |
under the councils of madmen, fit to disturb the!

peace of allthe world, hardeved into an enduring
antagonism. Vivleat and exclusive opiniens at
the North have borne their legitimate fruits.

Force has been substituted for reason and all the |

healing arts of statesmanship. War has torn two
people asunder, and placed between them an

ocean of blood that will rewain forever; nor ever |

can true reconciement grow where wounds of
mortal hate have picreed so deep Let us not
deceive ourselves in this matter. Let po weak
dreamer drug himself with the iodine of recon-
struction, nor lay tu his soul the flattering hope
that life would be tolerable without our indepen-
dence. Mr. Lincoln has indeed vouchsafed to
tell us that he will cease when we lay down our
arms. So the war ceased alter ibe battle oi Hast-
ings, but the universal spuliativn of property, ce-
privation of all personal privileges, and the toll-
ing of curfew bells, illustrated the object for
which the war was undertaken, and kept long in
memory the bitterness of the peace by which it
was followed. But worse than all this—worse
than anything to be found on the darkest and
saddest page of human history—would be that
peace that we should gain by abandoning our
struggle for independence, and bowing the neck
to our evemies. Then Mr. Lincoln in his own
elegaut phrase, would run his courts, and through
their instrumentality complete the work of rob-
bery and spoliation and ruin. Not only will all
our property be swept from us into the public
cotlers of the Yankees, or be divided out in por-
tious and rewards to a hireling seldiery, but ju-
dicial murders will be the order of the day. All
the dark and malignant passione of a vindictive
people, drunk with bioed aud vouwiting crime,
will be unleashed upon us like blood-hounds upon
their prey. Between reconstruction and subju-
gation there is no reason why we should draw a
distinetign ; 1t would be a distinction without a
difference. Liuculu has taken anxious pains to

The works will be printed ona greatly improved
—— of paper. and while ne rly all American
’eriodicals are either advanced in price or reduced
in size —and very generally both — we shall con-
tinne to give faithful copies of aLL the matter con-
tained in the original editions. Hence, our present
prices will be found as cheap, for the amount of
matter furnished, as those of apy of the competing
periodicals in this couutry. : '
| Conipared with the cost of the original editions,
which at the present premium on gold would be
about $100 a year, our prices ($15) are exceedingly
low. Add to this the fact that we make our anuual
payments to the British Publishers for early sheets
and copyright in GoLp—$1 costing us at this time
(Jan., 1865) nearly $2.00 in currency—and we trust
that in the scale we have adopted we shall be en-
tirely justified by our subscribers and the reading
public, f

The interest of these Periodicals to American
readeis is rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on our Civit Wan, and, though
sometimes tinged with prejudice, they may still,
considering their great ability and the different
stand-points from which they are written, be read
aud studied with advantage by the people of this
country, of every creed and party.

of God, who liveth and abideth forever, I may con.
tribute, however feebly, to counteract the Novel
worshipping aud Infidel tendencies of the present
times in gewerd!, aud of this city of Charlottetown
in particular. I am the more impelled to do this
because of the alarming spectacle lutely beheld in
our midst, When public teachers of the Protestant
Religion and Defenders of the “ Reformation”
openly avowed: sympathy with -enlogy on Novel
Writers, and sought to drown the warning voice of
