He must . se9 that # ho joins the imperial plotters in their efforts to coerce the maritime provinces into the Quebec scheme his political usefulness is at ao a4. Wore he toremain in the Cabiget until Parliament opeas it would be too late for him to switch off, so now he takes aivantaze of the reciprocity difficulty to save Bimnse!f, and shi't the responsibility of the confederation sebeme to the shoulders of his colleagues, I am preity feasitiar with Sir, Brown's antecedents and bis views on fmeportant questions affecting these colonies, and I will kare veature the prophecy that Mr. Brown will soon be @® opposition, and tiat, before 1866 has walked the cause- way 0! time, Mr. Brown and his paper will bo clamor- fag Cor independent nationality.

DARCY M’GBK'S ESTIMATE OF THE BFFEOT ON CANADA OF OUR WARK, At a workingmen’s festival in Montreal on the 28th uit, Hom D’ Arey MeGee spoke as follows :-—I am not at tempting to indicate a priori the course of events in 1866; J dare not presume to any guch prescience; but that they will. be. most reeUog and eventful for Canada, T delieve—a time wheu che’ will need all the best counsels of ber abiest men—when thera ought to be & tence to the ordinary confliet of partizous, if we would) Not lore great oppor‘unities, and, perhaps, bring on the country great calamities, (Hear, hear.) At the close of uch @ vear as we have past, on the eve of euch another as is likely to open ap fi & new page in our history, | could not, Mr President, well do Jess than take this brief view of our position, regroepective and prospective. While there Is thing in oor ion to keep the public mind awa’e and vigilant; while we are sending embas- sive fo other governments on both ides of the Atlantic— always with the wanction of the empire; while the name and status of Canada and Brith America are beginning to be more felt and much better understood abroad, there ip everthing t encourage as well as to ex rete henithfatly the pubtic mind.

Whoever save we stand, or can go back to where we stood oven in 1860, suit] less in 1854, dreams. There is a new repoblican ‘America, born in blood and baptized in fire, within those five years lart past; there must toon be a new British America or British Ameri¢a must shortly ceage to exist. (Hear.) Such you will do me the justice to mmember has been my reading all along of the eigns of our times, and from that reading L bave preached many a sermon to ail Our societies and meetings on the nevexsity of epevdy union within ourselves, There is nothing that can befail ns—nothing in the chapter of possibilities—which can beceed irreparable except want of union among our- selves. Prospects of t' ewal of Rectprocity. (From un “itizen, Der. 29.) If an inordinate consideration of what ia due to self interest and the exaltation of their genoral interests by Feeiprocal trade relations with Canada can imduce the People of the Atlantic Northeastern States to take Lold of the matter, we may expect that the government will gee the necessity of renewing the treaty. We may safely Teckom upon the cities of Porland, Boston and Now York, and the States of Maine, Hampshire, Ver- mont, Massachusetts and Connecticut, taking the if renewal. The great weight of New York State will undoubiedly be thrown into the opposite scale, The canal eystem of New York State is a at_soureé of revenue to the State's Treasury. ne State's people aro sufficiently selfish to aim at a monopoly of the Western carrying trade, and they are opposed ial bse vp of all other lines of cominanica- 1 ea gompetition with theirs, The le of Boston ay he other meationed places wit ekin ‘our side of the question—tlat 1s, they will aim to effect a renewal of reciprocal trad» relations, under the impres. ston that we will enlarge our canals or construct new ones to facilitate the egress of Western trafic and to cheapen transportation. ‘The aim of New York city |s to divert the whole lake trade to that port, by the construc. tion of the St. Lawrence and take Champlain canal, Thia will be @ powerful incen'ive tothe Northeas‘ern peop'e, Gnd it affords one of the strongest reasons for thas the federal gou:rnment may be brought run urson Biair is to be Prosident of the Council, in room of ir.

RECENT DATE OY THE REFOTO. That thie sweeping and most benefice al reform has been attained only at a very recent date is couciumyely proved by a short extract from the report of the resl- dent physician of the usy!nm :—- “Srateen years ago this asylnm had only three hun dred and eighty-three inmates, of whom at least Luirty were contined with leathero straps and fron wristlea, i forty more Wer: ConstaDtly Kept tn ther rooms, tut ough the number ha ¢ has not been an aver: to their rooms, and only at long ince ing strap been used.
