ORGANIZATION IN THE U. STATES FOR THE CONQUEST OF CANADA.

There is an old proverb thus versified by Spencer: “ When the stars glitter, and the moon winketh, Little wotteth the old goose what the young goose thinketh.”

We have seen a letter from a gentleman of respecta- bility, resident in New York, addressed toa friend in this city,in which it is confidently stated,and as a matter of notoriety to which little, ifany,concealment was being attached by the parties concerned, that an organization existed, the ramifications of which had spread and were spreading over the Union, for an effort to conquer Ca- nada, by aiding, with a strong force of not less thar twenty-five or thirty thousand men, fully armed and equipped, a projected Rebellion in Canada—which, it is said, will of a certainty immediately follow the news of an outbreak in Ireland. Whether the honest fears of the writer of the epistle alluded to have exaggerated the danger or not, we are not exactly preparedjto say, but of this there can be little doubt, organization, and for the purpose and with the views stated, does exist—and we believe that we might safely add, the fact is not alto- gether unknown to the Canadian authorities.

He says he has now learned of us how any man may make a fortune, viz—by Advertising in the newspapers, and attending to business, We would give the name of the young gentlemen referred to, were it not that some would say thathe has made enormous profits on his good; but such is not the case.
