Camapa anv THE CanAD1Ans, oR THE Puwow AND Jupy or Pourrica, Revewvrion ann Rerornm.— They are a very funny set of fellows im Canada. ‘Their ideas of political revolution are of a stamp altogether peculiar. Here they have been kicking up an awful row for the last year or two, alarming the whole neighborhood by their outcries of every- thing terrible in the shape of rebellion and republi- canism ; and yet, all of a sudden, they become as | quiet and peaceable as an [rish Presbyterian di- vine, in the receipt of the “ Regium Donum,” or any experienced dog who has just killed his mutton! What an awful hullabaloo these Canadian chaps did make, to be sure, a few months ago! All along the borders, and in the towns, and im almost every village, you could hear nothing but fierce maledictions against the tyranny of the Bnitish government, and resolute threats of instant, | immediate, complete, and glorious independence. All appeared to be agreed as to the absolute neces" tity of casting off the Bntish yoke. ‘The only difference of opinion had its origin in some contra- riety of sentiment, as to the most appropriate Nobody dared to whisper his allegiance to the Bntish crown, except the poor devils in office, or the house by a few paltry advertisements from the various departinents of the colontal government. Loyalty was at a terrible discount—worth aboat fourpence in the pound. All waxed furiously va- liant. They burned down the Parhameat House. They pelted poor with rotten eggs. very mother’s son of them, from the brat just breeched, to the gouty grandsire, with an exem. plary growth of grog-blossoms 1n his ancient nose, | became infected by a rage for gunpowder, and | that thirst for blood which characterizes canibal- m in its incipient stage. We confess that we were deluded into the pleasing belief that these Cunadian devotees of popular liberty were indeed Democracy. It is well known to our readers that the two fac- | fhons, into which the democratic party has been divided for some time past, have elected delegates to meet in separate conventions in Rome ; in this State, on the fifteenth of the present month. The | object of these conventions is, as our readers are mo doubt aware, to ascertain whether, in the present condition of the aflairs of the democratic | party and the prospect before them, there is not a | poreibility of effecting a union and uniting their | strength, so as to present an undivided front at our future State and National elections. A similar movement has been attempted in other States, where a like disunion of the democratic forces has been observed, attended with more or less success. Such hus been the case in Vermont, lowa and Michigan, but the attempt to unite the democratic forces in the State of New York, will be attended with more important results than that in any of the States named, in consequence of the influence which it will have over the democracy of all the northern and free States. If the baraburners and huskers in New York can unite, and form a eompact body of voters, such as existed be_ fore the breach or division between them, they will stand a fuir chance to reguio their ascendan- ey in the State. Such an event would, of course, exercise a great influence in other free States, and efiect similar results. A great deal of interest, therefore, is felt relative to the conclusion to which the two conventions will arrive, and the anxiety to know the reeult increases, as the day for holding the conventions approaches ; for the fature success or failure of the democratic party im obtaining power, not only in this, but other free States, de- pends upon what will be accomplished at the con- ventions in Rome, on the fifteenth ot this month. But, notwithstanding the favorable omens under which, the organs of the party assert, this move- ment of recoggiliation ond re-coalition has com- menced, we are by no means sure that the purposes | anticipated will be accomplished. We do not | know that the personal animosity and feeling, which characterized the conduct of the leaders of both factions towards each other, at the last gene- | ralelection, has been wtoned for, or even apologised fer. It was this feeling of animosity which in- daced Mr. Van Iuren to take a step in advance, at the Buflulo convention, and assume a strong ground ‘on the question of slavery, so as to give the Buffulo pletform strength, and bring t his aid all the fa- matical anti-slavery feeling of the northern States. It is evident, from the epeech delivered by Joha Van Buren at the Cleveland convention, and the Jeter of ex-President Van Buren te the same bedy, ‘that if @ union be effected, ut will be accomplished by bash factions of the democratic party taking | ground in favor of the priociples put forth by the barpburners et Buflalo,end which are very strong- Jy tinctured with sentiments that beara close af- fimity to those of the New England and northera fanatics, on the came subject. Now, if the proposed union of the democratic forces be effected, on the ground which we have indicated, the reeult will be a complete revulsion im the party. but the abolition, party; and, as euch, it will, no dovbt, outnumber the whigs, for it will attract all the fag ends and pisces of abolitionmm in the whole State, in addition to its own numerical force im thie and other free States, and may go on, step by step, in its career of abolition, until it may eause a great deal of trouble, to the government of the United Stater, throughout the country. | But, as we ewid before, it ie yet uncertain whe- It is yet | for- ‘ther the propored union will be effected. doubted how far the party that stood by the tunes of General Cass, in the last Presidential elec tion, will abandon their old ground, in their con- vention in Rome, in regard to Southern slavery, or am what way they may be disposed to adopt the platform, put forth by Mr. Van Boren and his con- Jjrivea, developed in his letters, and in the apeeches of John Van Buren, at Cleveland and else- where. ‘To be sure, John Van Buren’s sentuments, which he delivered at Cleveland, have, to a cer- darn extent, been misrepresented ; but it is unde- ble, that, in enything that has emanated from , he has not departed one inch from the plat- form laid down «t Buflalo. We, therefore, await the action of those conventions impatiently, to aa, @ertain how fur the Case men will go; but we think the chances are favorable for a union of the two fac!

A little charity might beget @ litle better feeling towards this de» of light literature. Pray, who go to the fashionable ‘watering places, as a general rule? Are not the Visiters vain, proud, foolish, haughty, silly, and everything else that is ridiculous in human nature, with a sprinkling occasionally of men of wit, sare @aem, brilliency, and talent? Dut the latter are, Fike angels’ visite, few and far between. To de* seribe in a graphic and intelligible manner what is goirg on in these places, to detail the tittle-tattle, twaddle und nonsense which are expressed, this de scription of literature must partake of the watering Places and the influences which surround the It fe the moet difficult thing m the world to invest seach subjects with intereet.

Willis men—men of the sturdy Anglo-Saxon mould— men whose mauheod was of that image and su- perscription which was made manifest on this continent, at Banger Hill and Yorktown—men who really prized lberty, and had the courage to strike for liberty. But we have been mistaken. Our Canadian heroes have been merely amusing themselves by a farce. Their tremendous revolu- tion has gone out like a farthing candle, or a small- beer politician at Tammany Hall. The awfal “league” has met, and gasped, and died. Oace more the old obesquiousness to power resumes its sway; and Canadian republicanism stands coa- fessed the Punch and Judy of modern political reform, as noisy and meaningless, as ridiculous and absurd, in all 1ts movements, as those famous disturbers of the public peace in the streets of Eu- ropean cities. ‘The melancholy truth cannot be overlooked. Utterly ignorant of the principles or working of | genuine republicamsm, the great mass of the Ca- | nadian people suffer themeelves to be led by a few poverty;stricken, half-pay army and navy officers, who arrogate to themselves the exclusive posses- sion of all the intelligence, respectability and poli- tical influence of the British provinces. These insolent cliques—maintaining an eternal conflict between prideand poverty, overwhelming gentility and salt herring—imagine that they have inherited They know well what would be the result of the annexation of Canaga to the United States. Their Teign of petty tyranny and social impertinence, would, in that case, epeedily eome to an end. The masres of the people would rive in the scale of so- ciety, and assume their rightful share of political power. Hence the persevering efforts of these creatures to cast ridicule upon the United States, and retain the connexion with the British crown, Now, in this state of things, it is incumbent upon political propagandists. sion ot republicanism acrogs the Canadian border. General Scott is our man—our apostle—our mis- sionary—our propagandist—our messenger of li- berty. We would have himgent across the border immediately. Nor would we send him alone. We would despatch him with ten thousand regu- Jars and twenty thousand “ mustangs,” to teach | republicanism to the benighted heathen of Canada —the poor, miserable, blind, timorous creatures, who are perishing for lack of knowledge and a sound licking. General Seott is jast the man for this mission. He has done something inthe way of letter-writing, but it has not helped the cause. We give, in our paper te-day, some extracts from late Canadian journals, which disclose the preveat state of feeling there, and the awful failure of the “ League.” General Scott, then, has not done the businers with his letter. Balwer makes that old reprobate, Richeheu, say, that the pen is mightier than the sword, or something to that ef- fect. But that is ell fam, Who believes a word of it?) Depend upon it, there is nothing so useful, occarionnlly, as a good basting. The bireh, ia jue dicious hands, has made more philosophers, and statermen,and heroes, than all, the text books that ever were written. Scott, thea, is the man to mannge the Canadians; not with letters, however, for letter-writing is net his forte. We don’t wont his epistolary genius at all in this new field of lgbor. We wish to secure his ser- vices ina professionel eapecity. Let the gal- lant end experienced chief leave epistolary efforts to boarding school misses, with brief tunica and on short allowance ; love sick dry goods clerks in boarding house attics and with empty stomachs: Esquire, under a bridue, with a scant moustachio six weeks old. Oar hopes are in the ecldier, not the letter writer. We must, therefore, hold General Scott in readiness to annex Canada a8 soon as possible—some time befere the day ¢ ument—always provided that Canada desires such a happy consummation, as no doubt she would, after a due course of appropriate treatment. At present, however, the annexation of Canada is indefinitely poetponed, on account of the weather, or the cholera, or the heat, or the last thunder storm, or anything else you please. So t,in the mean time, relinquish oar hopes ion with Canada—with her Scottish half-pay officers, devoted alike to patriotism and whiskey— her valiant men, who always deem discretion the better part of valor—her pretty maidens, with checks and noses irriiated by her frosts to a most bewitching rednees—her enlightened French popu- lation, with minds as expanded as a vinegar cruct, and tempers as sweet as ites contents—her gelid | rivers and her frozen plaine--her slumberous vil- Jages aud her dirty towns—upon all we must, just now, close our longing eyes. ‘Time and Scott may, by and by, do wonders, and make two nations happy. But, for the present, the annexation is, as we have said, postponed; and as for Cuba—fair, funny, tempting Cuba, lying so provokingly withia reach of our embraces—we must, alas! just now exclaim, ditto, ditto, ditto. | Prom Venezreta.—Private advices from Mara- to the 15th of Jaly, have beea received per , from that port.
