CONFEDERLTION IN ENGLAND.

From the I.ondon Athowum. October. 1866.

other. has now reached it point when the appearance of

lure either to his Men 5 or his' fees. the greater favor which the project sppearo' to have re-

ucarcr a satisfactory settlement than it did immediately after the collapse of' the “ Quebec Schema.“ Canada. of course, is still an enthusiastic supporter of confed- eration. .

As the power with whom the roposal ori hated, the would. for consistency"! sake. xert herself for Its at-

hope of individual.aggrundiesment; but as the colony which, according to the admissions of her admirers and the taunts of her detractors. would be the principal gainer by the contemplated change. the m" 0° “Plfl‘l‘d‘ ed for straining every nerve to establish the icintatoek company of which she would b We principa manager. althcu she would bring to it's cuession nothing more valuab it than an indefensible f atler.‘ a dis-united pop- ulatiott. and a wide arcs of nape 'ulatod territory. Newfoundland and Prince Edward 15am! still hold to their original determination. and firmly r fdse to sacri- fico their independence for the s'ako of tbe‘Cenadts. As a gratif 'in contrast to tho obeti‘ase‘y of these self-suffi- cieut is an s, the advocate! of confederation point m. umphsntly to the change which argument and reflection have brought about in New Brunswick and Nova Scotin. who. after disdaint‘ully rejecting the Quebec Scheme. have at length consented to take part in a convention to be held in modem for the purpose of devising some more practicable plan of union. No doubt this is a great concession on the "Lot the Now Brnnswickcrs and Nova Sections; but to importance is likely to be exaggerated by those who‘fail to rate at their true value the Intelligence and moral weight of the minorities who. in each of these provinces are rotesting against the ac~ tion of the agitators for confederation. '1‘er voice of a minority is sometimes more authoritative than the votes of a majority; and an opposition. whose leaders can speak to such good purpose as touts. Bolton. Webber. Ind.flowo._m.v become the Milan! side at any moment in the delicate and treacherous warfare of parties. In like manner, the euthuainottc supporters of confederation are likely to full ian error through over- lookiu v the fact that the majorities of Nova Scotia and New runswick are not so desirous, of union on any «mulling mm in a federation which shall not comprise the other maritime states. At present'they have moi-oi consent- ('41 to send representatives to a convention to held in London. and to be composed of an equal number of de- legatcs from all the provinces. Of course this conces- sion ll an important matter; but it is only one of sever- al steps that must be taken before Nova Scotia and New Brunswick can be held to have committed themselves irrevocably in the cause of confederation.

In substance. Mr. Howe‘s lampblot is a repetition of the arguments which McssroJl against the Scheme for a British American confodcrauy several months since. Like thou joint authors. he do- monstrstcs the evil consequences that would ensue to the maritime states and to imperial interests. if Canada should achieve her ambition. Successivoly he calls at- tention to all the weak points of Canada's harness—her

roximity to the United States. he: long line of defence- esa frontier. her internal (Ussomions. her proncncso to rebellion, her abundant disloyalty ; and in set- ting forth these matters. the ractiscd debatcr and trencbant speaker of thc 'ovn Scotia Lo- gielatore alternately exhibits a lively humor and an cxcxtcd Imagination. liis fervor and occasional tendency to bombaufic extravagance of diction will do him disservice with English readers, whore judicial cool-

”u measure of spolistion and appropriation. on n more gigantic scale than any that has troubled Europe ; “ but for the most part his criticisms are just. and his language well chosen. in his remarks upon the United States. and the light in which that power would naturally re- gard the new nationality. handed togethvr and called into existence for the express purpose of causing her trouble. he draws attention to a new aspect of the ques- tion which should not be overlooked. Nor is be less successful in another way when he laughs at the awkward cation of the twelve delegates from Nova Scotia and ewBruns’wick. who have slroad arrived in London to confer with delegates from all t e other provmces. at a convention,fi~om which Newfoundland and Prince hid~ ward Island have decided to hbsent the selves.

[From the London Patriot. Oct. 4.}

It is unfortunate that our thoughts of Canada should- bo so constantly associated with American threats. Fenian raids. and the expensive dospatcb of troops. The Canadians of the Northern Province are so truly our huh and kin; they have been so hearty in their pra- ference for British ever American relationships. that we would faia think of them only as art of ourselves-— members of the body politic. of which it would be im— pouible that the rest should say. “We have no necd of you.” It cannot. however. be disguised. that while the affection with which we regard our Canadian cousins has remained undiminishod. there has grown up. even amongst those who have no sympathy with the school of politicians deairin to shear .ngland of all its colonies. a wish that Calla might very soon achieve its inde- pcndcnco. Canada presents such a continual tempts- tion to the United States, that we feel as if it was really one of the greatest provocations to own between Eng- land and the United States. We know that we desire only peace with America; but we have a lurking lul- picion, in spite of all irotostations at Washington to the contrary. that Brot er Jonathan is only hiding his time, and pill some day find occasion to quarrel with us. lie knows what we too know. that it would be im- possible to defend the 1.000 miles of Canadian frontier against serious attack. As long, then. as the Americans have such an cosy method of making En land feel the weight of their arm. and fanc ' that while mflicthig upon
