CANADIAN INDEPENDINGE, Call for an Annexation Convention at Niagra Fall, Fourth of July. THE INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT Alarm Amon; the “Roy- alists.” z NOVA SCOTIA ON INDEPENDENCE. The Military Power Dominion. of the The French Canadians Militia. Special Report of the Adjutant " General. and the The Annexation Question. Aseverything touching on the polit cal movements mow going on in Canada tu relation to independence or annexation is of interest, we pubilsh the fo.iowing all for an annexation convention to be held at Magara Falls on the coming Fourth of July:— CANADIAN ANNEXATION CONVENTION, NIAGATA FALLS, JULY 4, 1870, To Tue PEOPLE OF THE UNiTeD STATES AND THE BRITISH PROVINCES:— Nearly one hundred years ago thirteen out of four- teen British colonies of North America resoived to sever their counect.on with the mother country and to establish a nation for themselves, After a con- test of seven years their object was accomplished, the one colony refusing to join in the etfort for inde- pendence. Th.s action of Cana ia must seem strange, conskiering that it had just been conquered (rom France, and, therefore, could have no sympathy in common with England, and its determination can only be accounted Jor upon the claim of precipitaney on the part of the other colonies, by misdirection on the part ofits leading men, or upon mere accident, Which often shapes the destinies of mankind and forms the nations of the earth. The wisdom of tie thirteen colonies in separating from the mother country and im establishing a na- tion for themselves is now admitted by tue civil ized world, From thirteen feeble colonies they have grown to thirty-eight powerful States, and by Purchase, annexation and conauest have extended from the lakes to the Guif, aud from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. ‘Their advancement has been unegualled among the nations of the earth. Dur- ing the same time, wille Canada has progresse | tn common With the general advancement ainong mavk nd, the Uaited Sta with @ kindred people and simular natural advantages, has surpassed all Others in the rapid increase of population, in the general diffusion of knowledge and in material and Political progress, thereny proving conclusively the Wmantest superiority of republican over monarchical Lastitutions. At all times, during the war for Independence and fince, the people of the United States have been In favor of a union with Canada, ‘The union of kindred and contignous nations as ip ail ages been advan- tageous to the nations so united; and recently this principle h..s been extensively practised ia Europe, With the generai approval and the uniform adyan- tage of the united nationalities. Asa very large namber, if not even a ragjority of the peopl» of both countries are Kaown to be in favor of imton, which numer is rapidly increasing, ihe efore many of the frieuds of annexation both in ‘the United States and in the British provin have doncluded to Cail an annexation convention at Ni- agara Valls on the 4th of July next, for the purpose Of !ratevnal and polinieal intercourse, wtih the hope that a speedy union may be effected, so necessary to the continued peace and the material and political prosperity of the two kindred countries, Une deleg: from each Congressional ¢ in the United States and one delegate from each 160,000 inha).tants in all the British provinces wili compose te convention, As a striking illnstraton of the purpose of the convention, the old ship Monarchy— aismasted, with bulwarks stove in, despoiled of its ornaments and gilding, and making a complete Wreck—will be sent over tho falls, to be dashed to Pieces on the eternal rocks of liberty beneath. Also er pew and striking republican and political #pectacies Will be presented, intended to magifest and insure 9 fratern feeling and the speedy union of the two kindred countries. fy order of te Canadian Aanexution Socloty.

It would also have such force as to render THE FIRM DEPARTMENT UNNECESSARY for extinguishing fires, Have a double-storied rail way track around the city, and propel the cars by means of coiupresded air. Several other advauiages were clamed, but THE BXACT IDEA was not demonstrated, a@ the orator said he would be willing to explain it to the Commissioners at a private meeting, but did not think it would be good policy to do so at pregeat. Commissioner Wood, Who possesses 4 remarkably HAPPY AND INQUSSITIVE STYLE,’ commenced asking questions, and found out that the entire specch wap merely a statement of whit the gentleman supposed to be facts, The plans, which were numerous, highly finished and compre- hensive, were submitted for the special information or the Board, THE PLAN OF MR. M. 0. DAVIDSON was then submitied, The gentioman who pres the plans commenced by informing the Commit . eis that New York was a narrow necw of iand; that the Burdson was A MOST BEAUTIPUL RIVER, and other similar items entirely new, which, of course, enlightened the Commissioners and satisfed the young man with his own composition, Aside trom this buneumpe the plan \was reaily the most asible one (hus far presented. it prdposes to sink wooden piles in eiustera, to enclose these in CYLINDERS OF CAST LRON, in sections, aad to fll between the wooden plies and ivon casings with concrete; to cap the pilesthus made with heavy iron piates, and from these to throw tron girders, aod on these lay Iron bewme, and then lay the flooring. ‘The advantages of this plea are Its. cheapneas, durability and rapidity of construction, Apier of 600 feet in lengih can be bulls tn sixty working days, and if in time the tron casings should rotentirely away the concsete would by that time have become solid as granite, The orator then de- scribed London Brags, and discoursed on the dura- bility of wooden piles When preserved in accordance with 9 cortain plan, Thecost of » dock such a3 pro- posed by tus plan would ve about $200,000, WOOD PRESERVING was gone Into at some length by a young geutleman humed Gardner, who Was engaged by some patentecs to obtain by this 1eans @ choap advertise. ment for their commodity, Which they don't get. THE PLAN OF TBOMAS BRACHER, consisting of immense stone piers, 1,000 feet long by 160 wide at the outer end and 500 at the shore end, with immense Warehouses on top, runuing the entire length on both sides of the projeciiou, was briefly explained.
