| ANNEXATION OF THE UNITED STATES TO
CANADA. 1t appears that the annexation fc,
yer" has broken out in Canada, and that some
of the press talk quite boldly of annexing the
greater portion of our Union to the British pos
sessions. Hear the Toronto Globe-


"When our Republican neighbors lately sug-
gested the propriety of annexing Canada to the
States, we readily admitted the advantage that
would arise from such territorial union. To
both parties the benefits would be lncalculable.
1t would relieve our winter bound Provinces
from the dullness and secluslon with which
they are annually visited, and would extinguish
a vast boundary line of land and water between
the two countries, which will every day be-
come more difficult to protect from contraband
trade on both sides. We differ however from
our neighbors in Il material part ofthe arrange
ment. They would have us to be placed un-
der the Stars and Stripes, whereas we wish
them to hoist the British flag at Boston and n.
York.


CATER Babylensh captivity of seventy
years to republicanism, our plan would obliter-
ate the remembrance of the tea war in the cor
dial union OF the Eastern, Northern and West
ern States, with the British possessions, which
would then form powerful confederacy under
British Viceroy or Viceroys with free Const-
tutonal governments. We know well that
many Of the most influential and intelligent
citizens of these States would rejoice in such
dellverance, but the mass of the less enlight-
encd will cling to their present form of govern
ment tor some time yet We shall not, how
ever, despair of seeing the British flag waving
at the Battery at New York and on Fanuel
Hall in Boston. 1t is impossible that those
who have yet some ideas of freedom left, can
much longer submit to the requirements of the
Slave States"
