But 1 there any chance of such a change in the hitherto pursued policy of Prussia and the federal States t Many pohticians incline to believe that such a chazge is at band, and they back up their opinion by tue following argumentation: They say that if peace be not concluded during the present winter months, the princi- pal seat cf the war, during the next campaign, will doubt- less be removed to the chores of the Baltic, and conse- quently, the further mamtenance of Prassia’s neutrality wil be rendered exceedingly dificult. Now, the Berlin Cabinet appears to de fully aware of this prospective Gilermoms; and accordingly Colonel Manteuffel has bec rent to Vienna wi ban autograph letter from the King of Prussia to the Fmperor of Austria, the contents whieh are understood to express a strong desire for the establishment of » better understanding between their r § tpective govermments in the matter of the Oriental ques- tion, In certain circles it is also believed that Prussia bas now offered to adopt the peace-proposals sent to £ * Petersburg by Count Esterhary, and to make the m: tj ‘arnest representations in favor of their x70, § Bove, provided Austria and the Bund will ag’ 6 sw conclude a wilitary convention with Prussia, wher they engege themsolves to render the latter Power porrible arristance in the event of its being attemp. rom aby quarter, to exercise an undue pressure ee the determinations of the Berlin Cabinet. In o.ber words, Prureia is evidently apprehensive of being una- yoidably iuvoived im the war; and if the next campaign be enerzeticu..y prosecuted in the Baltie, and if swecen nd Dex: h become participators in the conflict, Prus- sia will most itely have to choose between the ulterna- tive of a war wit Russia or a war against Eoglano and Frince Uncer these circumstances she scents coming cenger, anc it is very natural that at the elereuth pour the may find it safer w join the Allies of the 24 December ‘as the least evil of the two.

But, ladies and gentlemen, 1 pass from what is purely personal in this compliment to mat- tera of higher moment, and I trust I may be permitted to infer, from the notice you are thus to take ot humble services rencered in distant colonies, that the af- fairs and interests of there remote dependencies are be- ginning to ergage, toa greater extent than heretofore, the attention of the peopie of this country. It is, gentle- wen, a most interesting fact that, while our despotic foe ie vee ore the forces stationed on the remote frentier: is vast empire, as a protection both against aggression fem without and disorder from within, our constitutional morarch, strong in the affection of her subjects, ix enabled to withdraw from her out); terri- toxies thore garrisons retained in time of peace. 1 know well there are people in this country, perhaps not so many now as wany years but I know there a:0 per- sone in the conntry who hold the opinion that the colo- ies are a useless encumbrance; and I so far ewth these persons, ‘hat it is possible no to govern these colo- nies ax to render them an intolerable ; but I be- Herve it possible, by the adoption of a wiser policy—by freely and frankly conceding to our fellow subjects in the colonies those sights and privileges we so dearly prize— by treatirg their feclings with respect, and their wishes with consideration, so to attach them to the mother country as 10 render them a source of streagth. Well, Lbave only to say that during the whole of my public Ife 1 have been engiged in verious spheres of duty in the ble endeavor 19 solve this problem and to work out 1% resnlt. 1 present myselt to the inhavitants of Glas- 2.4} 25 x practical man. I do not even presume, accord- ix Mo the farhion of the time, to put myself in the pro- fesser’s chair, Ido not ask you to receive from me one sirgle rule, or rinelple, or maxim, upon colo- nial government which [f have not myself tested, ard of which I have not verified the result by ex- perienoe. Now, gen lemen, speaking in that capa- city, and of what I found from my own experience, | make bold to say thet 3 most important and material ebenge bas taken place of Jete years m the principle en whieh the colonial goverment is conducted. It is a change, nut so much in the form of oar continental con- svitution, but in the xpirit, I spesk more pertienlarly uf Canaca, nos only because J kuow moce of It than of the other colonies, nnd haye been myrelf responsible for the char ges that have taken piace, but ulso because it fa the effect of chungee that have taken place in that colony that ave wrought an improvement in the system in other eclonies. In our relations with the colonies we have sub: elitnted for « poticy of distrust and reserve, a policy ot cont ence. Now, we miy with great propriety and ‘ad- vantege tuquize whet the results of this system have ‘been, apd whether they are fuch wa to justify us in endeavoring to perpetuate and extend it. Now, I would ack, in the first place, wnat have the effects of this eystem been on the moral prosperity of Canada? | Go not wish to cnenmber you with a iwass of statistical details, but, ameng writers of all descriptions—politi - chi, staistieal, ond newspaper ¢onrespondents who have treated cf the of North America—it would be ixoporsible to find one who, writing before 1860, does not ever that the contrast presented by Canada on ono wide, and the United States on the other, is most un- favcrable to the former, most disconrsging to those who prefer morarcbical to repat.ican institutions, Well, tince 1950 there is a unanimity almost a3 remarkable— and the Lord Provost has adverted to that—the other woy. It would be impossible to find one I think, wio does not admit that since that period the progress of Canaiu has deen in all respects most satisfactory, equal- ling, if not surpassirg, the mo-t favored parts’ of the Union. No people bave beeu more frank in declaration to this feet than our neighbors in the United States, I reed not say to you that there is no subject upon which tho people of the United States are more proud than they are in reference to. thetr system of national education, and they certainly have very good reason to be #0, be- caure while we ave in this country proclaiming yocifor curly our zeal fer popular ecueation, and proving our sinceri'y by uniting to overwhelm every specific plan hat ie produecd, there is sctunlly in that country, in ration a system that is elevating the intellectual néard of that pecple to an_ elevation never before at- tained by eny cemmuni y.
