The developement of trade, the bis native town, ee anding,”” the part which Norwich fon twok ia the French and Indian war, tho non-importa- tion agreement, the reception of the stamp act, and the Other muportant affairs Which occupied our fathors in the middle of the eighteenth century, were then succinctly described, The period of the American Royolution Goorrhext. taken up, in reference to which the speaker had been favored with access to large numbers of unpuab- Hished lotters and documents, ‘The part which Connecti- cut took in this great struggle was alluded to, and especi- ally the liberal contribution of men and money for the army, beyond any other one of the thirteen United Colonies. In this contribution Norwich did more—muach more— than its share,and has never received from any source the credit it deserves. Foremost at the very opening of the struggle stood General Jabez Huntington, who at one time owned forty vessels. When the great conflict bogan he was made a momber of the Council of Safety of Con- necticut, an arduous and responsible post, and, on the death of Gen. David Wooster, was made Major-General of the militia of the State, with power to call out the troops at any time for the defence of this or the neighboring States. His ample fortune, as woll as his own labors, were sacrificed for his country; Dut not these alone. Four sons and two sons-in-law, young men of property, ability and bravery, ondued with ‘their father’s spirit, entered with like zeal into the active duties of the service, and were found in almost every field, from the early entrenchments upon Bunker Hill to the Victorious encampment on the plains of Yorktown. ©7f,"’ said the speaker, “any family in the country con- tributed more by purse and sword to the advancement of American freedom, I have yet to learn its name.’’ Two other Huntingtons, remote connections of the one just named, were also inducntial citizens of Norwich in the days of “seventy-six.” Benjamin Huntington—known to older people as “Judge Ben.”’—was a distinguished law- yer. Placed with Gen. Jabez, ia 1775, upon the Ceouncil of Rafety, he was one of the prudent and sagacious counsellers to whom the colonial success in arms was es- pecially indebted. ‘The two who have now been mention ed were natives of the town; tho third—the Hon. Samuol Huntingtou—although a native of Windham, was resident here during most of his life. Tt was his raro for- tune to place his name beside the siguatures of Roger Sher- man and William Williams to the Declaration of Indepen- dence. The character of this eminent patriot, at one time President of Congress, and afterwards for ten years Goy- ernor of Connecticut, Was then briefly sketched, and a letter read from his distinguished associate, William Wil- liams, writton soon after the 4th of July, 1776, in_ which he bestows the highest encomiums upon Mr. Huntington, ched was Dr. Philip Tarnor, a sur- im the French war, and after- artment of the No one in the country at that day was «igo has,” Continental arm t 80 distinguished vs an operative surgeon. “I Says General Jedediah Huntington, ‘a skill in saving to himself,” deserving of perpetual gratitude and honor. Among other choice spirits here re- Bident at this period w. thaniel Niles, well known as a political and theological writer. He composed, at Nor- Wich, in 1775, a Sapphic ode, entitled “ The ‘American Hero.’ Tt began:— Why should vain mortals tremble at the sight of Death and destruetion in the field of battle? ‘and was sung to a stirring tune called ‘Bunker Hill.” No song during the war awakened such enthusiasm among Timbs quite peculi the troops as this. Col. Christopher Letllagwell was Cap- tain of the Norwich Light Infantry, a well disciplined corps very fumous in its day. Col. Leffingwell was chair- man of the Committee of Correspondence of the town of Norwich during the war, and was in constant commani- cation with all the leading patriots of the State and coun- try. He also acted as a sort of resident commissary. Norwich furnished not only statesmen to direct, surgeons to heal, poets to cheer, and commissaries to feed the oe (eat it sent forth warriors for the fleld. The four brothers Huntington were then individually referred to— Jedediah, Andrew, Joshua and Ebenezer. Durkee, Wil- liams, Trumbull, Nevins, Fanning, Peters, Tracy and others were successively spoken of.’ Tho Norwich Navy Yard, with the building of a frigate for Congress by Col, Joshua Huntington, and the Norwich Armory, with the excellent guns which were made in it by Eljal Back- us, were aigo described. The question was next raised, ‘what were the people engaged in while the leaders were thus busy? Let the record of the period tell. As soon as the odious Port bill (June, 1774) closed the harbor of Bos. ton, an indignation meeting was called in Norwich, at which the town house was so crowded that the meeting house was opened for the eager multitude. The rights of American freemen were then and there unequivocally and unanimously asserted; correspondence was com- menced with the oppressed ‘metropolis of New Engiand; relief was promised. A generous and general contribu- tion of money and provisions was instantly made, A flock of near 300 sheep were driven to Boston. Samuel Adams, in acknowledging their arrival, gratefully adds, in words worthy to be inscribed on yonder arch—fitter to be carried in your perpetual remembrance—‘The”part which the town of Norwich takes in this struggle for American liberty is truly noble.” So began the Revolution in Norwich. “Lexington found Norwich ready. Bunker Hill bears witness to the promptness with which the town responded to the earliest call for troops, One evening Col. Joshua Huntington received a cominission, and before dawn the next morning sixty brave men had been enlisted by him. The same spirit continued throughout the war. Over and over again were contributions made for the army. The gifts of Norwich to its soldiers, writes a distinguished officer from the me- morable camp at Val Forge, are cheering indeed. Gen. Jabez Huntington gave up his fortune to the colony, per- Mitting even the leaden weights by which his windows hung to be oast into bullets; and his generous example was imitated by others, each being liberal in proportion to bis means. When at last the war was ey pean ty inge of these brave patriots were not ended. They had bought the freedom, not of the town nor of the State, but of the coptinent. But they had bought it -at the sacrifice of time, and} alth and prosperity. The old families were many of them sadly depressed in financial circumstances. New men came into town, enterprising and unembarrassed, business revived, and the community prospered. “Yet in this period of prosperity, in honor be unsparingly bestowed on the memory of those who pledged for us their lives, their fortunes and their facred honor. The conclusion of the address spoke o the rapid growth of the town during the last fifty years and of the prosperity which marked the religious, educa tional and commercial institations of the day. We soe, de then said, that the foundations of our native town were jaid with forethought by brave, intelligent and religions men; we rejoice that the right to the soil was acquired by purchase, and the former owners conciliated as perpetual | ds; that oud try, and were ready to argue or to fight in defence of civil and religious liberty; that they we the farm and served the golden 1p between conservatism and radi- culism, being loyal to the King till endurance ceased to be | 4 virtue, and then heartily devoted to the independence of America; that in the great conflict of the Revolution they sacrificed their fortunes and exposed their lives with a Spirit of patriotism rarely equalled and never surpassed and that their intelligence, ubrift and virtue have secures to their children, under the Diessing of Providence, pros- perity and happiness at home—reputation, henor and in fluence abroad. Long live old Norwich! and when the just of us sball lie beneath the sod, when the deeds of the present shall furnish the materials of history, may it be the lot of the future chronicler, scanning the memorials of our day, to record with truth that we were worthy of the precious heritage which we now enjoy.

We are always glad to meet the Journal in the discussion of the financial condition of the State and the responsibility of the two great parties of the country for the present em- barrassiments. That paper scldom ventures upoa this subject, but feeling its pressure upon its political fortunes, it, last evening, approached it and undertook to divide the responsibility of presont debt and taxation with demo- crats—attributing, however, most of our calsinities to the suspension of the public works in 1842. this last point, we shall turn the Journal over, for tho present, 60 the tender mercies of Lieut. Gov. Campbell and the other ** radical democrats,’ now in association with that paper who were zealous supporters of the democratic action of 1842, Their verdict will doubtless be that the canals were broken down by the whigs in 1841, rather than stopped by the democrats in 1842. ‘Our present object is to refresh the recollection of the Journal and of our readers concerning tho origin of the run-in-debt policy, and to present some documentary Ffex- tracts which that papor, in its researches, seems to have overlooked. We shall do this even at the expense of some repetition of facts often presented by us.

This was the democratic policy. Had it bem adhered to the canals would now be completed, and the State would not owe a dollar on account of them. A simple statement of the amount of the surplus revenues from 1836 to the present time, and of the cost of the canals, will prove this beyond contradiction. In 1836 the old canal debt had all been paid excopt about $2,700,000.

But let us see what the Seward policy has accomplished. In 1838 Mr. Ruggles, in a report from the Committes of Ways and Means of the Assembly, proclaimed the new financial theory that— A sum of thirty millions might be borrowed, expended, and finally reimbursed within twenty years, or forty millions might be so borrowed and expended, and reim- bursed in twenty-eight years, In 1839 Mr. Seward, in his first message as Governor, endorsed Mr. Ruggles’ theory, and recommended it as the “policy of the State,’ in the following language:— Trespectfully refer yon to a report of the committee of the last House, in which this subject is discussed with eminent abi re pr stantially uninenmbered; that thelr productiveness woul arrant ihe State in expending in internal improvements $4,000,000 annually during the period of (en years, and that the | revenue of the canals alone would reimburse this expenditure | previons to 1865, This sum exceeds any estimate of the ex- i penses required to complete the entire system, while it is not | | to be doubted that the paris yetto be constructed will eventually | be productive of revenue. conclusions of this report, -At- | though of vast interest to the State, and, I trust, decisive of its | policy, have not been questioned, This theory of Ruggles and Seward of forty million debt has been carried out. The moneys borrowed haye been euten up in paying interest, and have been squandered, as moneys obtained by such a system of finance usually are. Instead of having the canals completed, they are yet unfi- nished, and we have the following canal debt: | Old canal debt | New canal debt, | Floating debt i Add $8,000,000 to complete the canals, and we find tne taxpayers of ‘the State arc thirty millions of dollars worse off under the Seward-Ruggles ‘policy than they would | have been under the democratic policy. This s the blessing which Sewardism has conferred upon the people of this State. [From the Albany Evening Journal.] We have already stated, what the AUas and Argus cannot deny, that the Erie canal enlargement, the Chenan- go canal, the Genesee Valley canal, &c., were democratic improvements. Whether the debt created for their con- | struction be less or more than $40,000,000, the laws under which the money was raised and expended were enacted } by democratic legislatures and approved by democratic governors. But, silenced in this respect, the Aflas and Argus falls back and rests upon what it chooses to call | revenue of the canals permitted.

The Hon. G. W. Pattorson, Chairman of tho Assembly Canal Committee, introduced a bill appropriating $1,000,000 for the public works, which passed the House. In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Wager, (a democrat,) it was so amended as to appropriate four millions. Tho curred in tho amendment, and the bill thus amended was tolls will be suflicient to. meet the disburse- | approved by Governor Marcy, and became a law. In this precise and exact manner the “safe democratic policy of enlarging the canal’? was ignored, ‘To show beyond all possible cayil the entire abandon- ment in 1838 of the ‘safe democratic policy of pay as you go,’’ we need only refer to the special message of Gover- nor Marcy, recommending a loan by the Commissioners of the Canal Fund of $7,500,000, to be used first to enable the banks to resume specie payments, and then to be drawn from the banks to carry on the public works. We quote from the Governor's message:— To avoid the creation of a new stock for the express purpose of being loaned to the banks for a long period I recommend that the Commissioners of the Canal Fund be authorized to } issue stock, wi it is now cer will \ecessar’ within a few years for the en! ement of the completion of the Black River and Genesee Valley canals, and if the apprehended emergencies should arise, demanding its use, to loan it to the banks requiring of them the most ample security for the punctual Ce frend of the interest, and the re- imbursement of principal from time to time, as money may be wanted in the p1 ‘of the .—(Page ‘With a view of making ample provisions for any such ex- ency, T respectfully recommend that authority should be jven in the manner suggested to issue stock for the com templated purpose to the amotnnt of s.x or eight millions of dol- lars, This recommendation does nol it will be pereelved, pro: pose the creation of a stock, and eventually ifneed be, the of money expressly for sustaining the banks in the measure of redemption and retrieve from their present depression the busl- ‘nea concerns of the people ; but it Suggests for those ighly im- portant purpoves, thatthe moneys which i is known will be re- quired for the public works already authorized by law, should De rained a short ume before Whey are wanted for expehdiure, 0.7! And a bill authorizing a loan of $7,500,000, in accord- ance with the Governor’s recommendation, passed the democratic Senate, April 16, 1838, by a vote of 17 to 13. But it was rejected by the whig Assembly, and the banks resumed without State aid. It was no fault of the demo- cracy, therefore, that beside the $4000,000 appropriated for the canals in 1838, the canal debt was not then fur- ther increased by a loan of $7,500,000. In the annual report of the same democratic Canal Com- missioners, in 1889, we find tbem saying that:— ‘The public interest would be easentially promoted by as speedy a completion of the enlargement of the Erle canal from Hudson river to Lake Erie as the facilities for obtaining Money and proper economy in reference to the expenditures, would justify, In that report the Commissioners say that the whole work of the enlargement should be put under contract in 1839 and 1840; and they then add:— At will be seen by this proposed arrangement of the manner of proceeding with the work of enlargement, that the enlarged canal will be finished and ready for use, from Albany to Syra- cuse, in the spring of 1842; to Montezuma, in the spring of 1813; to Rochester, in the spring of 1844; and to’ Bullalo, in the spring of 1845, (Page 21.) In the same report the Commissioners say that the en- gineers’ estimate of the work upon enlargement then under contract are $10,405,918 38, and that ‘this gum will necessarily be increased for contingencies, to cover the expense of engineering, superintending and’ for miscclla- neous payments.” (Page 21.) In the report of Mogsrs. Bouck, Earll and Baker, Canal Commissioners, of 28th January, 1840 (Assembly Docu- ments, 1640, No. 60, p. 75), they ay:— : The successive Legislatures of 1834, 1835 and 1 who acted on this subject, no doubt were impressed with « ols tant the enlargement was practicable; that, in reference to the fu- ture wants of the country, it was indispensably necessary; that its importance would justify any probable expenditure, and that the tolls collected would reimburse the State. The Commissionners had, previous to the pasange of the acts of 1834 and 1835, seen that the business on the Erie canal was fast approaching the utmost amount its capacity could accom- modate, and the necessity of adding to that capacity, in order to keep pace with the increase of trade had to them’ for many years been apparent. It had also been to them quite obvious that the Western States and Territories would at no very re- anote period pass on the Erie canal, property paying a inuch greatcr amount of toll than would be pad. by" eltizens of this State, They supposed that the utmost silicieney which could be given to the canal would be needed at some future day, and that it was the part of wisdom and economy to put this great Work on a basis corresponding with the exteot of business. for which it was designed. They haye, on every proper occasion, brought to the conside- ration of the Legisiature the necessity of making adequate provision for the accommodation of a trade which, to them ap- peared to be of the utmost importance.—(Assembly Docu- 1840, No. 60, pp. 75, 76.) poli¢y,,’? as we have now shown by ex- tracts from official documents, contemplated the comple- tion of the Erie canal enlargement in 1845. To effect this, democratic Canal Commissioners recommended that the whole work should be put under contract by 1840. And to enable the Commissioners fo complete the work ‘at the earliest possible period,’ the democracy appropriated. $4,000,000 in 1838. The joners, with $4,000,000 in hand, pro- to put the line under contract, tak- re that their political friends received the contracts t on under the “more speedy impulse’? until. t roused by the oppression and rapacity of the fe ral government, overwhelmed and crushed them out, The whig State officers who came into power in 1840, while carrying out the “canal policy” and executing the “canal contracts” of their predecessors, were turned upon, howled at and hunted, as the persons responsibl for the “forty million debt,” in the creation of which they had no hand, part or lot. An artificial “panie’? was created. ‘The credit of the State was struck down, the value of its stocks rninousiy depreciated, the people alarmed, and in an hour of delusion and folly the demo- cracy restored to power. A suspension of the public works followed. More money was awarded, in some cases, to pay contractors for stopping, than would have heen required to finish their work. A direct tax was Ms ied and collected to pay for stopping instead of finishlog the canals. It may be well to remark here, that the people werofo- conciled to the seven fect by seventy enlarges of the Eric cana}, by an official assurance ‘from the Engin and Commissioners that it would only cost $12,000,000. And it should never be forgotten that the advantage the enlargement were lost by the incendiarism and struetiveness of the democracy in suspending the worl 1842, instead of completing the enlargement, a3 the Commissioners promised, in 1845, [From the Atlas-Argus.] anybody has occasion to forget the is the Journal and its friends. Tt was in thdfor- of a $40,000,000 debt was) for- ly bronght forward in the Assembly by Samndl B. Ruggles ina report from the Committee of Ways|and Means, ja which he advocated in his very peculiar and gorgeous style, and with what Governor ‘Seward ih his Hirst message characterized as “eminent ability,” that ‘a sum of thirty millions might be borrgwed, expended and finally reimbursed, within twenty years, or forty millions might be so borrowed, expended nd reimbursed in twenty-eight years.” Mr. Ri after having proved to his own satisfaction the safe borrowing forty millions, concluded his report with| the following recommendation :-— ‘The committee, therefore, have no hesitation in ing that the State'proceed promptly to borrow stich MOndys as are needed to prosecute most vigorously its works, in lu of *ppropriating the revenue only of the present canals fa the purpose of making sich expenditures as the interests @ our citizens require. They would suggest that the State should re- tain that revenue as asinking fund to pay the interest gn all moneys that it may borrow from time to time to proseculg and perfect @ liberal system of internal improvements, Jn this formal way, Ruggles, in that unlucky year,J838, invented and proposed the scheme of a forty million flebt. Seward was clected Governor in. the fall of 1838, ahd in his first message he formally endorsed and adopted) glex’ project, and pressed it upon the legislature as) t to the State,” and, said he, “ T trust dedsive his language, as the ‘Jo wien, or where, or how’? oud Ruggles contracted this debt:— | I respectfully refer you to a report of the committee of the Jant House, in which thix sulject is discussed with embnent ability, and which results in showing that the canals are. pro- perty substantially untnenmbered; that their productiveness: would warrant thé State in expending in internal improve- ments $4,000,000 annually duri ¢ period of ten years; and that the revenue of the canals alone would reimburse this x- penditure previous to 1805. ‘This «1m exceeds any estimate of the expenses required to complete the entire system, while it Is not to be doubted that the parts vet to be constructed will even- tually be productive of revenue. ‘The conclusions of thia re- Port, although of vast interest to the State, and I trust decisive of its policy, have not been questioned. We have thus informed the Journal how Ruggles and Seward initiated the scheme of a forty million debt. They were trusted—the one as Caml Commissioner and the other as Governor—with the duty of carrying it into ef- feet, aud before 1842—the other year which the Journal thinks ought to be forgotten—the whole thing broke down. Under the management of these distinguished financiers the credit of the State was rnined, its stocks fell twenty- {wo per cent below par, and imable to borrow any more money to vo on with the canals, the work on them was Suspended for want of fands in the fall of 1841, and the people, seeing the incompetency of the Seward dynasty, the catimates that haye been made, an expenditure of $15,- 009,000. ‘The best intorests of the State appeal to you with great ear- ‘esters to provide for the earl: mnpletion of tids important improvement. Tam pers ‘® larger sum thao the preseut appropriaion might by advantageously expeaded with: at the election of that year restored the democrats to power, and entrusted to them the work of resuscitating NaF ade loin the canals from the bank- which Ruggles, Seward, . had Tbepea a ard, Weed & Oo, ha From 459 to 1842, under the “wore speedy impulse system” of Ruggles, Seward & Co., the following sums of » borrowed by the State:— 250,761 54 2,135,185 49 4,497,297 90 31609414 57 3,814,181 00 Grand total, «$18,410,841 51 ‘Yet in the face of ‘all these facts, the Journal has the effrontery to persistently charge the misfortunes of the canals aid the indebtedness under which tho people will groan through years of taxation, to what it flippantly terms “the stop law of 1842.’’ The law of 1842 did not stop the canals, Seward extravagance and profligacy stopped them in 1841, because capitalists would not lend the “more speedy impulse’ politicians any more money. Pouck, Earll, Flagg and their compeers had gone out, and Ruggks, Seward & Co. had come in, and that sensitive barometer, the money market, soon noted the change in the finaneidl atmosphere and’ foretold the storm which rapidly came, It must be agreeable to the “radical de- mocrats,” now led into association with the Journal on a single question, to be obliged silently to submit to_ this daily impeachment in that paper, of thoir action in 1842. Have they changed their views of the canal and financial measures of that period? Do they now endorse Ru and Seward und repudiate Bouck, Earll, Hoffman Flagg? Does the Journal speak the views of the present republican party on questions of State policy, or only those of repudiated financiers Ruggles, and Sewardt Per- haps the “Radical domocrats” will answer the question. ‘om the Evening Journal. ‘The Adas and Argus, in reply to our demand for the figures to substatiate ‘its charge that Governor Seward was responsible for the “forty million debt,” produces the following:— From 1838 t under the “more impulse system’ of Rannlen bauer 80s, ihe faliowing stias of musoey” were borrowed by the State:— Grand total... -..eseecees A lame enough demonstration. In the first place the democrats had complete control of the State in 1838. Gov. Marcy was Governor. Messrs. Bouck, Earll, Young, &c., composed a democratic Board of Canal Commission- ers, and there was a democratic 1 rity in the Legisla- ture, Although the whigs elected their Governor in the fail of that year, the democrats retained powor over tho canals during 1839, and it was not until February, 1840, that the whigs got control of them. When they did they found appropriations and contracts already made by their democratic predeceasors, so that the democratic policy was in these respects necessarily continued. In 1941 the democrats again carried the election, and whatever debt was contracted in 1842 they were solely the authors of. ‘So that, by its own showing, the Atlas convicts its democratic friends of at least twelve of the eightecn millions it enumerates, and a simple reference to tho his- tory of those years shows thom in fact responsible for the whole. To what straits must a journal be reduced for arguments when it can find nothing better than the subterfuge of charging acts committed by its own party, when in power, ‘upon those who were at the time in the minority. If this is tho best showing the Adlas can make the less it says about the “forty million debt’? hereafter the better it will be for itself and for its political friends. [From the Atlas Argus.] Just asthe friends of the canals are gathering in Con- vention to see what they can do for them—just as Messrs. Ruggles & Co. are contributing their poetical figures of speech to supply the deficioncy in their other figures which ought to make up the annual exhibit of revenues, but which now only show deplorable deficits—just at the moment when the superior wisdom of the State is about to assem- ble at Syracuse to proclaim the policy of blocking up all other avenues of commerce, in order to give exclusive privileges to the canals, the Evening Journal engages in the labor of proving that the democrats were responsible and alone responsible for the Erie canal enlargement, the Chenango Canal, the Genesve Valley canal, &c., &c. Domo- cratic legislatures passed the laws, democratic governors ved them, democratic caual boards laid the plans for all the work. ‘The internal improvement party in this State was the democratic party and no other. ‘What is to be done with that period of four years from 1889 to 1843, in which Governor Seward was at the helm of State—a period of immense speculation, enterprise, ex- penditure and debt? In France, the Bourbons ignore the period of the revolution and Empire and leave no inter- regnum in royal annals, between the reigns of Louis XVI. and Louis XVIIL, filling it up with the imagipary Louis XVIL; and in like manner, the Napoleonists ignore the restoration, and place it on ‘record as the reign of Napo- leon II., setting aside all the intermediate royalties. The theory of the Evening Journal requires the obliteration of the Seward era from the political history of the State. If democrats did everything, originated everything, and consummated everything, in the way of internal im: provements, what becomes of the second Clinton? What did he do? For what was his administration known? For the pardon of criminals and the mere parade of office? That is its history, as the Journal represents it. THE CANAL CONVENTION. mm the Atlas and Argus, Sept. 3. The Convention which met at Rochester on Thurs- day, does not seem to have attained any definite end, or to 5 taken any course that will materially affect public opinion. It was composed principally of repulican politicians, who apparently despair of their own party, under tis pre- sent management, and who are anxious cither to give its policy a new direction or to seek out a new political or- ganization. This, however, they must fail to. do, so long os they ‘Pursue a merely retrograde policy, seeking to place impe- diments in the way of invention and of material develope- ment, and to obstruct the channels of trade. The condition of our Canals is such as to call for the wise counsels of prudent men. They are great under- akings, in which the interests of the State are deeply nyolved. It is idle and wicked to get up the false issue of a sale of the public works, so long as the constitution forbids sale. The real and present problem before the people is, how shall they be administered so as to secure the greatest efficiency, at the least expense to the interests that use them, the consumers who profit by them, and the taxpayers who are threatened with the burden of their support. This Convention does not seem to have been composed of such men. There were doubtless honorable and sen- sible gentlemen in it, who spoke in the interests of the canals and of the public; but the greater number were politicians secking to influence the nominations of the ap- Proaching State Conventions, and the emissaries of rail- roads, sent there to rail against the central line, the chief object of vituperation. ‘The Evening Journal ignores the existence of the Con- vention—a significant course in a paper w! of years has made its political capital in the sa ay, as the originators of this body propose to do, as the special and exclusive friends of the canals. SE eraertareints si eaeey Canadian View of the Puget Sound Question. {From the Toronto Globe, September 6.] ‘The isiand of San Juan (not the home of Robinson Cru- s0e) but one which lies in a much bigher latitude, prom- ises to become a place of importance during the next few months or years.
