It will go to strengthen the argu- “ ments against Confederation, aud to show that * vo person, or class of persous, should put their © feet upon our necks, and drive us into a position “which would end in beggary.” Let the reader fairly compare the quotation with the following true extract: “ I do vot think that any right minded man, who has the defence of his country ina time of danger in view, would object to be- ing called out a few days extra for the purpose of being drilied. And [ would remind your bonors that when the Commander-in-chiet does not see any necessity forit, they may not he called out more than three days in the year.

NEW BRUNSWICK ELECTIONS.

Tue elections in the sister Province were brought to a conclusion on Tuesday last in the return of seven more Confederate members—

THE

three for King’s and four for Charlotte Coun- ties— making in all thirty-three members pledged to the adoption of Confederation, and to the support of the Government; while the Oppo- sition and anti-Confederates and annexationists have been able to secure the return of only eight candidates. And what is very singular, the eight anti-confederate members represent constituencies in which the French element We have not a word to say iu disparagement of the French, but it must

largely predominates.

be borne in mind that their peculiar position, their seclusion in backward places like Glou- cester, Kentand West moreland--the only Coun- ties that have returned Anti’s—and their speak- ing a foreign language—are facts which go to show that they are quite incapable of forming an

desire for a political union of all the Colonies.
