The ingenuity and lalour of several writers amongst us are beiny daily employed ¢o enforce every topic, having reference to | the projected Federation, which is calculated | to inflame the passions aod pervert the! opinions of the people.

As respects the Protestant’s sneer at the advocates of the Coa federation on accouat of the aid which he intimat-s ‘some of them hope to derive frow our mivieters of religion, we will merely observe that nothing can bet- ter harmonise with the sucred duties of a minister of Christ than the love of hie coun- try; and in none besides could we with so much reason hope to see exe mplified the faith- ful practice of this holy injunction :

“ Nie just, and fear not :

not only completely lost her lomestic Parliament, but her, represeutation in the United Legislature |

was reduced to the comparatively inusiynificant | nambers of sixteen peers in the Honse of Lords, | and forty-five members in the House of Commons, | of the Parliament of Great Britain ; and yet therein she has always beea able faliy to assert and main- | tain all ber pablic rights, pe vileges, aud interests The wamber of peopie in Ensland, at the time of | the Union, was supposed & be six millions ; in Seotland near two. The peerage of Enyland | amoanted to one handred and eighty-five ; of Scot- laud to one bundred and forty-five. The House of Commons in England consisted of five hundred and fifteen members; the representatives of the counties and barghs of Scetland, who sat in the same House with che peers, were one hundred and fifty-two.

We have observed, with much pleasure, the precise similarity of our own views, as) enunciated in the foregoing article—vhich, | we must observe, was written for our last week's issue—with those of Mr. McLeod, as uttered by bim in a speee!: at the Public Din- ner on St. Andrew's Day. [See Report of the Speeches delivered ov that occasion, as published ia the Examiner | A consider- ation of the identity of our own reason- | ing with that of the learned gentleman, prevents, for the present, our bestowing upon that speech the full meed of commendation to which we think itisentitled. As respects a fair estimation of it, however, we think that—witheut neteeying any undue desire to share in the praise we bestow—we may ven- ture to say that it indicates a liberality of sentiment, @ love of country, and a sagacity of judgment, on the part of its author, the exereise of which has enabled him, relying ““apon the logic of events,’’ completely to despise and discredit the narrow views and dolorific forebodings of the few shallow finan- cial alarmiste amongst us; who, although posseased of powers of vision searcely more

comprehensive than thuse of the *‘ critic fly,” yet pretend to be able ‘‘to pierce the shades of dim futurity,’ and to able to

calculate, to the fraction of a doit, the loss whieh, at the end of twenty yeare, would be sustained by us as a people, should we enter into the projected Union—and should all, as they predict it would, o! course, throughout, **go doleful as a passing bell.”’ ;

As it may, perhaps, tend to give additional weight in the estimation of some of our senteet, both to Mr. Mc!.cod’s arguments and our own, in favor of the projected Union of the B. N. A. Provinces, so tar, at least, as both are deduced from the same source--- the history of the Union »f England and Scot- land—we think it proper to state that—cir- | cumstanced as we were with respect to each other—neither the one, when speaking, nor the other, when writing — although both were almost simultane usiy arguing to the eame end from the same facte—had, or could have bad, any knowleige of the sentiments, or intention of the other, as respects their) common ground of advocacy of ** rue crest! Unsion.’’ The unconcerted coincidence both as to time and manner, is certainly singu- lar; buat, we doubt not, besides Mr. MeLeod and ourself, there are, in the Island, many, conversant in the history of the Union of England with Scotland, who, at the present crise of our little State, have made the same deductions from it that we have made ; and all amongst us, who have so read and digested that history, would, we think, do well in opening it up to others around them who may be ignorant alike both of the facts which it records and of the lessons of politi- cal wisdom—all counselling union—which it imparts. Reasoning, having universally ac- knowledged facts for its foundation, is surely much more to be depended upon than con- clusions derived from arithmetical calcula- tions based upon nothing bat mere supposi- tions and ndless assumptions, Such calculations are often found fo le, although, perhaps, it was not intended that they ghould do so. The case, however, is not so with ‘‘facts :"’ for, as Burns very quaintly, but very truly observes, ** Facts ace stubborn things, and downa be disputed.”’

“Holy Mary,” Soprano Solo, by Weber, (sung beautifully by Miss Conlan.)

Miss McCormack played “ Hear me, Nora,” and Mr. H. Gaffney, the “ Volunteers’ March.”

Some Irish and Scotch popular airs were played upon the Organ, and the performance of them afforded the fullest and most gratifying testimony of its powers.

Tue Concert was concluded by ihe singing of the national anthem, “ God save the Queen” by 150 voices, accompanied on the Organ by Mr. Tradelle, the effect of which was truly graud and impressive.

The Concert, as we have already observed, was

though a very high degree of praise is due te the Choristers in general, the success of the Ceneert,

will cheerfully admit—te the taste, skill, judgment and perseverance of the Rev. Mr. Trudelle. Altnough, where 80 many are eutitled to high commendation, it is wapleasaut, on account of its seeming partiality, to point out any as the objects

Weare delighted to be able to congratulate Mr. Trudelle upon the success of his endeavours to promote amongst us the love and cultivation of Music, and — to borrow poetic language—to elevate to the honor and respect most justly due to her, The heavenly-sphere descended maid, Friend of pleasure, wisdom’s aid ; and we hope that ere lung we may be able fur-

-——— ee GREAT FIRE AT ST. JOHN, N. B. We deeply regret to leara from a Telegram on Friday, that the good city of St. John, N. B., has again been most calamitously visited by its old enemy, Fire. The despatch says that ninety houses have been burut at Indiau Town, a poou- fous suburb of the City. We muct wait for the regular mails to acquaint us with the full extent of the suffering thus brought upon a very nume- rous body of our fellow creatures, for ninety houses ia a place like Indian Towa would ecer- taiuly represent a large population. We deeply sympathise with them in their affliction, and with the people of the city proper, whose sympathies and benevolence will be largely taxed to alleviate, in some measure, the pangs of this great calamity. ; an _

improved by the use of the Plantation Bitters, Respectfully, JUDITH RUSSEL.”

If the ladies but knew what thousands of them are constantly relating to us, we candidly believe one half of the weakness, prostration and distress experienced by them would vanish. James Marsh, Esq., of 159 West 14th St. N. Y., says, “ he has

last two years, and has a child now eighteen months old which she has nursed and reared her- self, and both are hearty, saucyand well. The ar- ticle is invaluable to mothers,” &c.

Sach evidence might be continued for a volume The best evidence is to try them. They speak for themselves. Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with weakness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart,

constipation, diabetes, &c., will find speedy relief through these bitters,

Every bottle for exportation and sale out of the United States has a metal cap and green label

around the neck. Beware of re-filled bottles. See that the cap has

not been mutilated. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bitters in bulk or by the gallon is an im- postor. We gell it only in bottles.
