The interest upon the sum alone would be £4300 a year. The whole debt of thc Colony to about £l33.000 and the interest about £8,000. Now. If this loan is obtolntl.

Now. as it is unlikely, brcttustt unrequiretl. that any portion of the Volunteers willbtt permanently placed in Barracks to do duty in the place of the regulars. we have one or tvro suggestion: to oil'er as to the disposal oi the Bob

Floss all we can learn. and alter reading papers upon both sides. tho celebration. In Nova Grotto. oi the birth-day oi tho New Minion was rather a gloomy Outside of Halifax. nearly all the flags display- ed ilostsd at half-oust. and stony of then were draped with counting. The anti-Confederate newspapers is- sued on the lot of‘ July appeared in mourning. to tank the premature death of Nova scotta. It was a foolish. a stupid. and a cowardly action on the part of Topper to carry Confederation without an appeal to the people oi Nova Scotia. Mlti. as a consequence. his name will ever be associated with traitors like Arnold. and pol- troons like Castlereagh. no halter how the experiment of the New Dominion will work. It would be an ont- ragr upon all propriety to appoint a man like that Go~ vsruor. as is hinted in some oftho Nam Scotia papcrs. 0o Continental Europe. the stiletto or the rcvolvcr would have markrd the popular appreciation of an art like his. ttnd even within the Dominion. there are places where Dr. Topper. if he were placed on Cover- nor over them. would receive but scoot courtesy in his gubernatorial character. and where he ought consider himself fortunate If he «raped personal violence. We say this apart altogether from the merits of Conicdvrs- tron from n Nova Scotia stand-point. but simply to rc- cord our disapprobation ot the treat-bevy by which he forced Confederation upon an unwilling poo- ple. The same cot-rgy. talent and unscrupulous means which carried Confctlcrtttion in Nova Scotla. if employed in stumping the country upon the question. would. we believe. have secured its acceptance by the people. and thus guaranteed harmony throughout the whole Dominion. The opposite course has been pur- sued. and Dr. Topper must take the consequences both new and for all future time.
