CANADA. It is bad enough to have Ireland threaten- ing to buck herself out of harness, but we never expected to find loyal Canada at- tempting to kick over the traces. Riot in a team is very catching, and is a possibility ever present in the minds of Unionists now en- gaged in quieting the vagaries of the near wheeler whose riotous behaviour bids fair to upset the coach. Many fai-seeing eyes have been directed to Canada during the last few days, and have anxiously watched the course of her General Election. It may seem a matter of little consequence to u.s whether the destinies of Canada be directed by Con- servatives or Liberals but we cannot forget that we are a trading nation, our business transactions with the dominion are consider- able, and at the present time her policy is a matter of great moment to this country. Canada has been sorely tried of late. The severe protective tariff imposed by the United States has injured the prospects of many of her colonists, whose hearts were thus opened to the beguilements of the Liberal party. Canada has always been loyal and Con- servative, cherishing a warm love of the mother country, and we have not forgotten how she came to our help in the days of the Crimea, or how her boatmen piloted our troops during their dangerous voyage up the Nile, o She has always been foremost in her expression of regard for the old land. But in the Colony, as near home, a party has lately sprung up ^ho place personal interests far above country. During the recent elections this party quietly whispered the doubt whether the English connection was, after all, so advantageous, whether it might not be better to throw over the old love and seek a suitor nearer home. indulgence in faithlessness of this kind would have tended towards a closer union with the Stats and the closing of a valuable market for our productions. But we have been spared the possibility of such a calamity. Sir "Ohn Macdonald and the Conservatives have agam been returned to power.
