As facts are becoming more accurately and ex-
,ensively known, in relation to the late attempts
on Canada, the public mind is settling down 10 'ne
conviction that s.sympathy," SO far as the PeoPie
ofthat country is concerned, is uncaled for. ihey
are not struggling against oppression, but conten'-
ed and neaceable desrous OF all things that tnose
meddling adyenturers, who have been stirring up
strife for some unworthy personal design, shouid


reman far from their borders. The proclamation


of Cen. Biree, issued before the late expedition,
called upon the Canadians to "arouse,' and lend
their assistance to those coming to commence
the battle. This does not prove by any means
that the Canadians were burning for revolt" and
;mnlo,ipg assistance from this side of the line
but the contrary.


Since the leaders of the Patriot forces, so call
ed. have ANONYMOUSLY skulked from the fatal Pc
rils into which they did not hesitate to plunge
others, their characters have been placed in true
light as despicable, unprincipled adventures.
Their object was to line their own pockets by
contributions from the 'sympathizers," and con-
iscations, plunder, and personal robbery the
invaded. After this had been effected, their next
step would have been to have left the laurels OF
the campaign to be gathered under other leaders,
saying with Gen. Bombardinian,


"Begone, brave army-don't kick up row."


The returning reign of common sense on our
frontier, is additionally gratifying from the fact
that ii diminishes the probability Of those acts of
mutual aggression and retaliation which were so
threatening to the peace of two great nations. A
war between the United States and Great Britain
would be calamity of incalculabe magnitude,
and observing men on both sides of the line have
been watching the tendency of events for months
past with inconceivable anxiety. The spirit Of
strife and bloodshed was at one time so univer-
sally in the ascendant, that it became matter Of
serious inerrogatory whether it would be possible
for the two countries to avoid war. But better
days have come. The Americans have more in
formation and more real knowledge as to the actu-
al condition of the people concerning whom SO
much spurious sympathy has been stirred up by
designing swindlers. The proclamation of the
President is also adapted to suppress further mad
projects; and we think, from present appearan-
ces, that a tranquil winter may be anticipated.
