Wade, and sundr: ne doubt but that in writing his letter of declination he was actuated by no witerior design. The success of Scett or Pierce was not the question, bat the manifest interest of his party. Intelligent men, who are binssed by no prejudices, estimate his vote in Ohio at fifty thousand. — Here, in Ohio, as is gen- erally the case at the North, there is hardly but one opinfon as regards the institution of slavery; but party ties are strong and prevent a great majority of the people from voting where their inclinations, and openly expressed views, would lead them. On the contrary, too, there are many, who hate the bitterness of party spirit, disgusted with the two great party movements, and will vote for Hale. He will get the vote of the ‘‘no-partyists” who strayed from the democrats to Gon. Taylor in 1848, stand a good chance for the ‘Land Reformers” and be sure of eee ee _ his share of on for- eign vote. With all these, his prospect in Onio is decidedly penis H ies ‘The free soilers have as yet made no nomination for Supreme Judge, or for the Board of Public Works. They are Preparing, though, to coutest several of the Congressional districts vigorously. Under the new apportionment, the whigs are sure of but four of the twenty-one districts; but, by the aid of free soil help, they hope to elect six. In the Holmes district, too, it is thought they will elect from Ohio. The efforts of our politicians aro now | made more with reference to the Congressional another, on account of democratic dissensions, which will give them seven members of the next Congress elections; but after bap are over, the struggle will he solely between the Presidential candidates. Both of the two great parties will move heaven and earth to acheive success. Every political nerve will be strained to its utmost tension; no effort, honest or dishonest, will remain unmade. The vote must, of course, be large. Irom careful estimates, I think Pierce will get 155,000, Scott 137,000, and Hale 42,000. No well grounded cstimate sent, make different figures than the above. This, it will be acen, leaves the whigs ina great minority, while the democrats lack many thousands of a ma jority; but the attitude of the free soilers gives thom the control of the State. The whig prospects in the State look dark and gloomy. ‘Iho position of | their party, too, viewed as a national one, is pecu- liarly unfortunato. Never, inbut a single instance, | have they been successful against tho united de- mocracy, while they are now fighting, with aisaf- fections in their own ranks, in the North and the South, the East and the Wost. Under such cir- cwnatances, the result can be but foretold—the election of Pierce must be considered a foregone conclusion. Under these circumstances, the question may be well asked: “ In what consists the Lope of the whig party—what are they going to dot’ The question can be readily pi AL Their nationality, as a party, will cease—it has already ceased. Don’t be startled, reader, it is an unde+ niable fact. Look at the following facts and con- siderations: — The recent unparalleled successes of the demo- crate, in 1850 and 1851, happened when they could not fail to be fatal tot whig party. Thoy placed the districting of tho States, under the new appointment, entirely in democratic hands, who, it will bo seen, have not been slow in im- proving tho advantages thus obtained, consequently it will be next to impossible for the whigs to gain the ascendancy, in either house of Congress, for ten yeers to como; and even then thoir chanco is anything but flattering. Thus it will be seen that they can have no hope for the adoption of the principles thoy profess to havo, nor wple 4 latform of principles, except such as can be ie m dry, empty theory. Again, in the South, they have nothing to expect. That is now, as it always has been, essentially democratic —the whi, now controlling not a single State!

Great Britain Taking Possession of the Bay Islands—Great Disaffection in Consequence-— Anticipated Annexation to the United States— Antipathy Towards England—The Markets— Scarcity of Provisions and Woods—Ships in Port, §e. In wy last. I informed you that her British Ma- jesty’s government had taken possession of the va- rious islands in this bay, and declared them a colo- ny of Great Britain. 1 now further inform you that Mr. Wodehouse, her Majesty's Superintendent, has gone down there in a war vessel, (sent hore for that purpose,) to be sworn in as Lieutenant Governor of the “Colony of the Bay Islands.” What is the whole of this worth ?—what are those islands worth ‘—and what will it all amount to? It may be said, in answer, that these islands are a fortress of strength, anda key to the wholo of this const, from Cape Coriti to Oape Graciosa Dios. With these islands in the hands of Great Britain, she can control and completely blockade the entire coast, ag it lays to the leeward, with a sea breeze blowing directly on shore ten months in the year; add to this that the only good harbors on the coast are on these islands. affording a good and safe anchorage to one hundred line of-battle chips. Among tho intelligent, the questien ig often asked, ‘What are the Yankees doing, that they should allow this step on the part of Great Britain?’ It is more than whispered that the present Secretary of State at Washington is blind to all movements on the part of Great Bri- tain. Be thatasit may, the day will come when the United States will know the importance of theeo islands, It requires no great stretch of imagination to see thig continent, ina very few years, a part of your Union. Its situation, and everything else, has been fitted by nature for it, and not many years can elapse before this entire continent willbe a part and parcel of the United States. The people, esire it, and movements are now being made to have the State of Yucatan annexed to, or put under the pro- tection of, your government. I have already been fee in possession of the secret and names of*the leaders of this movement; and although I am not at liberty to name them, still you may depead that the parties who have taken steps in this matter are men of character, wealth, integrity, honesty, and of untiring perseverance. A messenger from the leader assures me that there will be no retreat when the matter is once started. This step on the part of the Yucatacoes, I am as- sured, is ogvasioned by the conduct of the British oflicials and residents here.

Ignorance of the Canadians— Want of Information as tothe United States—Strongly in Favor of An- nexation to Develope their Resources—Parliament — Opposition to the Government, §c., §c. It is @ matter of much regret, that the social in- tercourse between the people of the United States and the Canadians has so long been neglected and comparatively restricted. We are astonished at the ignorance which prevails, even amongst the best in- formed, of tho principles of the United Bltates government, its wealth, resources, and power. Only a few, and thote of the aristocratic order, ever visit the United States, read the papers, er aro familiar with the condition of the people; and as those aro amongst the most loyal of Victoria’s subjects, being officers of her government, they never communicate to the musses the least particle of knowledge which they obtain by travel and observation in the States. The present generation of the mass of Canadians at pres | are as ignorant of the benefits of a freo government, as were their French ancestors two hundred years ago. ‘There is no improvement in their condition, either mentally, morally, or politically; and they are assubservient to the priesthood and monarchy under which they live, as are the subjects of the most despotic government on earth. They pereue tho same plodding course of their early ancestors, living a dull, heavy, laborious, monotonous lifo.

That the poople of Cana the masses, Lapoke of—are lo: Bag their temporal and spiritual rulers, is no fault of theirs. They are uneducated, and are generally unavquaint- ed even with the written languago of their mother tongue—a mongral French.

Hence, the excuse for the profound ignorance which provails among tho eo masses. They cannot read their own language.

They anticipate e time not far distant, when the parliament of Cana- da will urge upon the home government, with suc- cess, the reloase of this colony. The desire is to become inemmeome® of England, and then form themselves into a convenient ‘number of States, and ask for admittance under the stars and stripes. The Canadians entertain no idea of remaining a sovercign powers they are aware that of themselves, they are ponte deficient in the elements of hich prevail he great mass of ignorance wi in the interior, requires the foster- ing pose of the spirit of Washington and Jeffer- son, to bring them gradually and contentedly into the embrace of om. i ee only with the ea sone auaaee eed is spirit greatly prevail, but the military are deeply infused with it. With several of the privates belonging to the three regiments of regulars station- ed at Quebec and Montreal did the writer of this hold frequent conversation. They are mostly disgusted with the idea of being employed ag sen- tinels, in constant watchfulness of the people. Nine-tenths of the rank and file are Irishmen ; aud loyal as they may apprar ic presences of thoir offi- cers and upon public parades, there iss ‘lurking devil” within them, which more than indicates that they are ready to divsolve themselves of the red coat. As Irishmen, they heartily sympathive with their oppressed countrymen in the ‘ green isle,” and they have no more regard for the English gov- ernment than duty and discipline compels in time of peace. It would be quite a different matter with them, should a collission take place between the United Statesand Eagland Should the emergency arise, nine-tenths of the standing troop? aow iz Canada would fly to the assistance of Ireland against her unlawful oppressor, England. As it is, frequent desertions occur Fourteen deserted from one of the regiments in Quebec, some ten days since, six of whom Were re-taien, and are now being pun- ished with ball and chain; the remainder succeeded in sri 9 their escapo to the States. Since the union of the upper and lower provinces in one political group, the politicians have become more wgsh and treacherous. The clection of Papie neau was at first hailed with great éc/at, and so much confidence was placcd in him by the liberals, that upon his arrival at Montreal, on his passage to- wards Quebec, at the opening of Parliament, he was. requested to deliver an address before the people.. About a thousand persons assembled to hear him. But the liberals wero disappointed in his remarks— for instead of denouncing Lord Elgin, and his pre- vious policy, as they expected he would baye done, he did not advance a single idea in that respect, but gave the people a mere homily upon matters and things in general, Papineau was candidate for Speaker, but a large majority preferred MeDonald, who some timo since resigned the office of Solicitor General, in conseqnence of m rupture with Lord Elgin The success of McDonald, as Speakerof Parliment for its constational term of four years, by a majority of nearly two te one, shows that the members had more confidence in bis } opposition tothe Captain General, than they had in Papineau.

Fine x Toronto, Canapa.—A very destructive fire broke out in Toronto, on Sunday evening last. It originated in some sheds at the rear of Parsons & Wilcox’s leather store, at the south side of King street East, whence it speedily to the ad- joining houses. In » few minutes the whole square of buildings at the south of King street, and bound- ed on the east and west by Nelson street and George street respectively, to the lake shore, was ina mass of flames. Altogether there wero over sixteen dwelling houses destroyed, together with the city weigh house, and several shanties near the water's side. Amovg the houses burned there were no less than eight taverns. The only houses destroyed on King street were Mosers. Parsons & Wilcox’s, near which the fire originated, and also Mr. Lynn's paca) store, which adjoined it; but, however, some other houses on this stroct were slightly ine jured by the action of the fire. From the city weigh house the flames extended to Mr. Loak’sshop and soapand candle factory, which were also de- stroyed, a8 well a3 the shantios on the lake shore, already aluded to. Extensive arrangements are being made by the Torontonians to acoommodate the guests of the great Provincial Fair, to open on the 2lat eptember. It will donbéless excel all previous exhibitions of the kind held in the Province. There is a strong feeling prevalent in favor of the enactment of a Muine law, and its age will be vigorously urged upon Parliament at its present ses- sion. Its failure in that body is predicted by the knowing ones. The opponents rely upon an impe- rial veto in the event of its passage, the royal assent having been withheld from a similer enactment in a sister province.
