ia, and to the romotest recesses of ty

JUAN B. ARIS3IENDI. CARACAS, Feb. 25, 1880.


 The following views from the Lynch burgh yirginian, in relation to the ac- qulsition of the Canadas, are cogent and enlightened. We hope every man who values the Union, will set his face firmly and steadfastly, against the purchase ol another foot of Territory. Political scheners forends of selfish and crooked ambition, can only think, that spreading l5 degrees of latitude, and from the At lantic to the Pacific, we have not land enough. The claims now set up by some of the new States to the National lands, as a right pertaining to their Sovereign ty, reads lesson which ought net to be disregarded.- Constitutional Wklg.

 The Canadas. An energetic and for cible writer in the Boston Patriot adyo- cates with earnestness the " purchase of the Canadas.n He takes the broad ground that as the Instructions to the navigation of the Mississippi, and a de- sire to avoid hostile collision with France and Spain, induced the United States to purchase Louisiana and Florida, so q similar state of things with regard to the navigation of the St..Lawrence, and to the safety of our Northern and North eastern frontier, in case of war with Great Britain, should influence us to at tempt the acquisition of the Canadas. The extension of our territory, already spreading over such vast and untra- yelled space, 1t seems to US Is net at all desirable. i'he annexation of the Ga nadas to the Union, however, independ- ent of this consideration, is matter el extremely doubtful policy. Enlighten- ed as the people of those colonies are and at any moment possessing the pow If they had the disposition to shake of their provincial character, and thei1 monarehiai form of government, they 1 have, on the contrary. .manifestedastrong attachment to their condition, in the midst of the calamities of war, and ever while they were oppressed in peace.- We do not, therefore, feel any anxiety to purchase them, when their transfer from monarehiaI to republican form of government might be- and apparently would be, so dissonant to their feeling and wishes. There are already enougf causes existing to accelerate dissolu tion of the Union, without voluntaril, adding this to it. But, it will be time enough to enter into more serious ane full discussion of the question when hl go9er7anaent shall show any disposition tt embrace within it's grasp either Canada iii the north, or Texas in the sonth.- The population of Canada is said to be about 750,000 and rapidly increasing.
