But Great Britain, we very much. fear, is about to have another war forc.:d upon ber, in the consequences of which, if it takes place, we (the peoples of these Provinces) will, if possible, be more deeply, but certainly mere immediate- ily, concerued than Great Britain berself. We allude to the war which Seeretary Seward—by

means of the permancat misuude. ‘standing which he seems imost uchappily to ha*e suc- ceeded in bringing about between the Crovern- inent of the United States and that of Great @ritain — Las reudered all bat inevitable be- ‘tween the two countries.

By further illustrations which now lie betore us we could easily demoustrate the absurdity of — Mr. Seward’s demand; but those which we — have above given are, we think, quite sufficient to prove that if a war between the two countries vast arise in consequence of Great Britain's refusing to comply with that demand, the res- powsibility and yuilt thereof esnnot justly — attach to her.
