J When the scheme of a British American Confederatlon was first formally mooted in this country. it seemed to most persons to be free from any serious objections and likely to promote some obvious advantages. It is true that. with a few exco ttous. Englishmen—even English statesmen—bad but t e most shadowy notions of the con- dition. political and social. of the Provinces which were to be parties to the new arrangement. of the feelings of the populations concerned with respect to the Ian. and of t o benefits expected to accrue on either side in con- sequence of its adoption. It was known that Canada. or at least tho most prominent Canadian politicians. were eager in favor of the scheme, and it was assumed it would now appear somewhat hastily. that the Maritime Provinces were equally ready and willing to enter the 1bonds of this political marriage. No one. oi course, would have desired to force them into an alliance against their will; and we may resume that it was on the sup- poaition that the poop c of New Brunswick. Nova Scotia. Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island wished to bc federally joined to the Cansdar. that the late Go- vernment gave its assent and support to the efforts to arrange some settlement of the kind. The first attempt. known as the Quebec scheme, was rejev .d by all the Maritime Provinces, and we have since card. without quite understanding them. of various disputes and de- lays. it appears thst in all the i’rovinccs ctitiona have been numerously signed and meetings hel against any fcderativo union with Canadu; but that quite recent- ly. as the opponents of Confederation allege. by extreme pressure on the part of the Executive. the Legislatures of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have a reed to send delegates to a Conference to be held in .ondon with certain Canadian delegates. These delegates are now here. but their deliberations can only result in a most lame and impotent conclusion as long as Newfoundland and Prince hdward Island protest. or they do. and re~ fuse to join in the Conference. The party in the Mart- timo Provinces which is averse to Confederation is now represented in this country by the Hon. Joseph Howe, s distinguished member of the Le islaturo of Nova Scotia. This gentleman has just pu lished a pamphlet in which he complains with some justice that. while we have heard and adopted in this country the case of these who desire to promote the Confederation. we have paid no attention w atover to the case of its opponents, [n s. few well reasoned and ably-written pages. Mr. lIowe says all that can be said on his side; and though we can- not endorso all his viewa~tbough. indeed. we differ tofo caelo from some which he expresses most strongly—we have no objection to give them all the publicity to our ower. The question is one. indeed, which roslly asks for the attention of the English Parliament and people, as it is apparently sou ht to involve the English Government directly in acts arin upon the condition of the self- govcrncd colonies of orth America, from which it is our plain duty to keep clear. Before we proceed to explain briefly the argument of Mr. llowc. it is right to state that he does not attempt to ignore or controvert the decision of tho Legislatures in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in favor of uniting 1n the London Conference now pendin . lie morer poulis out that in a matter of ouch vital tmpcttsuce an appeal to the constituencies was at least morally due. more especially as in the case of Nova Scotia the re- sent Assembly site under a repealed suffrage law. his appeal. however. has not been admitted. and the plan of the Canadian and other delegates is described to be. first to framed scheme of Confederation here in secret, and then. before publishing it in the Provinces or their Le islsturcs. to o tain for it the sanction of the Imperi- al arliarueut—a course which. as Mr. Howe argues. would be unfair and possibly perilous. With the rea- sons which. accor in to Mr. Howe. influence the population of the ‘lmwcr Provinces in their die- like of the Canadian Connection. we have little concern. It remalns for them to rovo at the polls that they enter- tain such a dislike. 'lho opponents of Confederation insist that neither the character of Canadian olitics and politicians, nor the condition of Canadian finance. nor the elements of discord. springing out of differences of race and religion. which are to be met with in Cana- da. are ve likely to invite the unton of communities hitherto ac fefiovcrnod. prosperous and content. The geographical iflicultiea of a Confederation. as put by r. Howe. are indeed most serious. Not only is the territory which Canada. with a somewhat far-reaching. or. so her opponents would term it. over-reaching am- bition. desires to join to herself described as too large to be administers well by a single overnment. but it is predicted the. addition of the h aritimo Provinces would be certain to infuse new elements of discord into the already socthin chaos of Canadian politics. The interests of New runswick. Nova Scotia. and New- foundland are maritime. insular. and commercial; the interests of tho Canadss are mind and agricultural. Their territories scarcely adjoin. A long stretch of un- settled country and the mouth of the St. Lawrence. froasn for six months of the year. divide them. There is no private or commercial intercourse worth speaking of between them. The intimacy and inclination of the Maritime Provinces is not towards Canada. but towards Maine and Massachusetts. and though the men of New Brunsoick and Nova Scotis are proud of their indo- ondonco. they would probably prefer annexation to the United States, if it could be peaceably ofiected. to any Confederation scheme. Such is. in brief, the case put b those who oppose the Confederation project. It to at east well worth a bearing. N o doubt the Governor General of Cannda is ri btiu ly proud by antictpation “ of the new Power ing its place anion the nations “—-a power with a territo —be it remsr ed—evou more extended than that of the cited States, and a population nearly as large as that of Ireland. To rule under those conditions would talk the powers of a statesman of the highest or- der; to question whether it be possible to rule It by the “ politicians "—the word has a peculiar sense in Ameri- ca—who debate at Ottawa. is at least not an unreason- ablo scepticism. We think that when the people of this country come to learn how the facts stand, the will at least no the wisdom of leaving the matter who ly to the decision of the population concerned. More than that we do not understand the opponents of the Confedera- tion scheme to ask at the hands of England. and this much they are fairly entitled to expect. If the mari- tuue Provinces have the material strength to stand alone if left alone, and really prefer to do so. it is clearly no part of the policy ad cannot be the wish of England to coerce or oven urge them into an uncongenial uaiou. BANKRUPT CANADA. [From the New York Albion.] “ It appears from the record that Mr. Gait writes to the London agents—Messrs. Baring Brothers‘ and GI 11. Mills, A Co.-undor date. 14th August, 1865, airin to change “ the arrangement" then existing (wlneh was, that those firms should sell otitutlng therefor “ a loan temporary of £760,000 sterling. for a period of not loss than one or more than two on it of Provincial bonds as they (the agents) mig tecoeidsr necessary.” Canadian securities than in their hands at 90) sub-, In the same letter the Messrs. Glyus and Bariugs are informed that £200,000 sterling of the amount required. falls due to the Book of Montreal on the 19th of the ensuing month, and that accordingly an itmnediato answer is necessary. This was certainly a very exceptional method of opening a delicate financial negotiation; particularly when we read in the agents' letter of November 2501, no follows: “ You will allow us to call to your recollection that we had been led to expect that provisions would have been made in Canada for the funds required here." We cannot wonder that Canadian credit suffered in Lombard Street. when the process was suddenly reversed. and the London agents were called upon to provide means for psying ofithe provincial creditor. Neither can we blame the London credits:- for asking at once for “ an order in council, legally binding the government for the psymeut of the interest and prin- ciple," nor for further adding truly, that “it is of course, understood thst the Bank of Montroal will not be repaid while our two firms remain in ad. vsucc. ' ' ' We deeply regret that to main- tain your engagements you should be constrained to attempt to borrow in this market at a time so un- favorable; but if such an unfortunate case must be resorted to. we shall endeavour to follow your orders. We take due note that you will make timely remit- tances to secure the punctual payment of the divi- dend due on January next." This was lsugusge calculated to arouse indignation in a sensible if not a sensitive man, and if addressed to a New York merchant in place of an Honmnble Finance Minister of a proud and prospgrous Province it would have had that effect. But not so with the pliant—or shall we say the pusillauimous—Miuistry. The order in Council was duly forwarded, when still plaiucr lsnguago was used by the financial gentle- men of London, which runs as follows: We must repeat that we see no prospect whatever of our being able to make arrangements on the conditions an- thorized for the settlement of the amount due to the Bank of Montreal, as well as our advances, and we shall. therefore be glad to hear from you what measures the governmentpropow to adopt to cover our accounts," adding again, " we have no doubt that you are also preparing to make remittances for the dividends due in January.” In reply to this Mr. Gait actually condescouds to the position of a bankrupt debtor. and proficrs ‘ a statement' of his affairs thus :—-‘ Our engagements consists of about £500,000 sterling. due to yourselves to be covered positively at 31st December next. and £200,000 storiiug to the Bank of Montreal, to be covered at 17th instant, and we have also to provide £300,000 for the January dividends..——Aud then goes to say :—-‘ I am now authorised by the order in Council. to request you to make arrangements for the desired loan of seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds. st such role of interest and for such period so the state of the money market may permit— ’ ‘ ’ I need scarcely add that it will cause very serious inconvenience if any disappointment should again arise.’ After making sales under these iustruc- tions to?) the limited extent of £60,000 only, the agents report again that the operation has proved to be one of the greatest difliculty. and demonstrates, as it is our duty to observe, that Cansda must not depend upon temporary expedienls, but upon its own rosourccs.’ Now, after candidly considering all this correspon- dence. we cannot but view the proceeding as most unpardouablo on the part of both Mr. Gait and the Ministry who took part in it. We refrain from going still further to show how the London firms insisted upon the small loans. finally raised at 8 per cent, not being used exclusively to pay the Bank of Montreal. but proportiouuly between themselves and the Bank. as it is reslly too humiliating to publish. One thing is certain. however. that should Canadian afiairs not be more wisely managed financially, in future, than they have been in the immediate past, the province might as well fall into the bands of the h‘euiaus first as last; for absorption, or entire do- pendauco on some more ambitious and self-reliant nation will be its inevitable doom." ~..~,- A QUEER LITTLE REPUBLIC. .— A correspondent of the London Harald gives an interesting account of a visit to the little republic of San Marino, in August. He says :— “ It is especially singular that this little Territory containing only about eight thousand inhabitants. should have remained intact for more than fifteen centuries, and that now, while all its powerful neighbors have become merged into one great state. this tiny Republic should be the only portion of Italian soil possessing a separate autonomy. It was founded by San Marino, who was a native of Dal- matia. and came over and settled in Rimiui. Soon after the persecution of the Christians by the Firm pcror Diocletian commenced. and finding that it was impossible to remain in Rimini, San Marino led his little fiock out from the city. and established o Chris- tian Colony at the summit of the highest and most rugged mountain in this part of the country, and which was at that time probably surrounded un- troddou forests; and from that day to this the little state thus founded has remained separate and dis- tinct from the neighboring countries. “Immediately we got into the open country. my driver pointed out the mountain of San Merino. rioiag far above all tho hills in its neighborhood. and distant from Bimini nearly fifteen miles. The road led across on undulating and vory richly cultivated country. The pennants were engaged in picking the grape harvest, which, by the way, is one of the worst ever known, from the extreme dryness of the early part of the season. They were a so occupied in piekiag the maize. which forms so important as item of the Italian farmer's crop. “When about six miles from the mountain we crossed a little stream, and my driver told me that we were now in the republic of Sea “arise. The circumference of the state is thirty-nine miles. the mountain, or crsg as it should be rather called, ris~ iug nearly in its centre. The ground. is very fertile and well cultivated. and its value is consider- reunding oeoatry. from 'tihe sheep; of unsung: other advsotagos or to republic. among whim is them- from military oosserip ably more than that of similar ground h the loo- tiou. Every male in San Marino is. it is true. a soldier. but this is a very minor evil when soldiering involves no 6 filing or absence from home. Al. though all are iable to be called upon to serve in easeof neceuity. only thou under a certain age are on all occasions liable to be called out. and the strength of this regular army of the re ublic is 800 men. Of these. 700 form the Nation Guard. the remainder the body guard of the President. The national flag is blue and white. The police is ad- ministered by a chief and five carbinoers. whose uniform is dark blue, with white cross belts and grey trowsors. These five carbineors are always on duty, and are regularly enlarled police. “In old times affairs were administered by a grand council. composed of the heads of all the fa- milies in the stats ; but this was found so large and cumbrous an assembly. that in 1847 s council was substituted of sixty members -tweu‘.y nobles, twenty citizens, end twenty formers or possantr—who were chosen by the old assembly. Any vacancy that oc» curs by death or otherwise in the council is filled up by new members chosen by themselves ; consequent- ly, tho Government is now rather oligarcic than do- mocratic in its character. Thirty members must be present to make the meeting a legal one. The council elects two presidents, or. as they are called. ‘Dapitaui chouti,’ every six months. One presides over the upper village. the other over the lower and the surrounding country; as present Signor Inno- centi Bonelli is Captain Regent of the city. as the upper village is called, and Amicslo Vita is Captain Regent of tho burgo. At the end of the six months and before the election of the new President is held, there is an iutorreguutn ofthreo days. a syndic being chosen by the council to manage affairs during that time; and during this period any one is at liberty to impeach the cx-prosidonts for their conduct during their term of office. The election of the presidents is conducted in the following manner : Six names are chosen by the council, the names are written upon papers. and the council then proceed to the church, where. after mass is celebrated and special prayers offered up. two names are drawn by lot,and these two are the presidents for the next six months. “ Twice every year than is 11 grand assembly of the heads of all the families of the Republic, and these can then protest against any measure adopt“ by the Council. None of the officers of State are paid. but the Captain Regents are allowed seventyb five francs each for office expenses during their for. cf office, and the foreign and home ministers hay. an annual allowance of two hundred and fifty franc eseh for office expenses, etc. The Commander-in- Chief of the army receives no pecuniary considera- tion for his services. Thehighost paid omcisls of the stats are the medical moo—there are two doc- tors and one surgeon, who receive two hundred and fifty scudi. or thirteen hundred and fifty francs a year each. There are no doctora' bills to pay in San Merino; for this munificsnt salary of fifty-four pounds a year each to the doctors render their services gra- tis to all the citizens of the State, but if theyaro sent for out of the two towns the patients have to pro- vido conveyance. “ The revenue of the State and its expenditure sliko amount to £3000 a year. This sum is raised by profits upon the sale of tobacco and salt, both. a in Italy, State monopolies. and by a very small tax upon lauded proprietors. There is, in addition to this. which forms the ordinary budget. the sum oi 18.0.10 francs a year paid by the Italian govern- ment. and which is used for making roads, assisting the poor. giving aid in cases of losses by fire or other misfortunes, and re airing the public buildings. This sum is paid by tho Italiaa gavorument for cus- tom duties. Of course San Marino would have a right to have brought its goods in free of duty, but this would have caused so much difficulty at the Italian custom houses that the Government agreed to pay instead an annual sum equal to the propors tiou of custom duties which would be paid b an equal population of Italians. This sum was and upon calculatlon to amount to eighteen thousand francs, which sum accordingly the Italian Governc meut pays annually to Sen Marina. The Republic is represented at oil the foreign courts. At London and Paris their ambassador is the Duke of Aquavi- va. I presume that the duties are not onerous. The Freeman in noticing some of the political tricks of the Confederates. says : “ On the hustinga at Newcastle, the Hon. Hr. Willioton. as a member of the Government. stated that the arrangement made between the Govern- ments of the difisreut Provinces was that each should be represented in the Conference by two dele- gates, Upper and Lower Canada counting as two Provinces, and having two delegates each. “It is now a matter of notoriety that the Goven‘h ment of this Provioco appointed six delegates in- stead of two to satisfy four more of their supppotors at the public expense. regardless alike of duty and of public opinion. and that the Novs Scotia Govern— ment, which would have preferred a similar num~ bor, appointed six. because that number had been appointed from New Brunswick. "It is also woll known that when our delegates went they know that nothing could be done in the Session of the Imperial Parliament now drawing to 11 close. and that the Canadian delegates could not or would not follow them for acute time, and there is little room to doubt that they hastened away he- csuso some of them were so impatient to begin the grand spree and enjoy the great pleasures they an- tieipatod, and were so much afraid that if they did not go at once something might happen to prevent tbeit going st all."
