| Se SE Cee 8 a “CANADIAN = ANNEXATION. The Herald Demolishes a Poli- tical Party. The/Heathon Rage at the Horald—Recont Folt- \ teal Evente—The Annezationists Coming Out Openly—Close Contes's—The Independence, Annexation and Colonial Questions. Orrawa, Canada, July 22, 1870. The New Yors Herarp is the bugbear of the ‘Canadian press, rendered espevially irritable by “small ciroulation, the intense heat and the unmis- takable snarl into which things in Canada have gotten themselves, The annual onslaught has just been made, and more than the usual heat has been displayed. In brief, of late yoars, no single ‘article has made so intense and thorough a sensa- tion in the Canadian political world as the full and circumstantial history of the movements of the Canadian independents and annexationists, pub- lished in the Herat ofthe 6th. Tho Globe com- menced by declaring the whole subject unworthy of s moment’s consideration, and consequently devoted three columns of an editorial to it, a course of proceeding generally followed by those journals at a distance from Montreal. The journals of that clty—or, at feast, those whose interests did not compel them to be silent or skeptical—at once reoognized the truth of the picture. The Herald, ® paper mainly noted for its advertisements of preparations free from meroury, declared against the idea of such a body existing, with the vigor to be anticipated from it, when it is remembered that Mr. Penny, its editor, was secretary of the An- nexation League of 1847, and that Mr. Halten, who “‘inspires’’ the paper, was himself a leader in the same abortive effort. The Gazette, the lead- ing government organ in Canada, however, kuow how much truth there was in the Huxaxp’s report, and recognized the fact that in Montreal a body of dangerous men were preparing to enact TAR ROLE OF CATALLNE. It accordingly reprodaced the Hzraxp’s article, with vigorous and sensible comments. Forthwith commenced a turmoil such as seriously amus- ing. Correspondents and editors denounced the unhappy independencists as traitors, and clamored for the suppression of the League and the ostra- eism of all political heretics. And the independ- enoe party themselves found in a moment that their little gamo was up. Tho Haravp had let @aylight in upon them and had exposed their schemes thoroughly, leaving thom subject to the imputation that they were hand in glove with the annexationists, or else that they had been ontwitted aud betrayed by their pseudo allies. The rage of Mr. Huntington fs described as something terrible. The serip- toral bear robbed of her whelps was milduess to him. His passion proceeds no less from the fact that he has been put hors de combat as far as in- @ependence is concerved, but that ke has been involved ia « net of circumstantial evidence from which he cannot free himself. He curses tho Henavp with an imprecative vim worthy of Shimei or Bishop Snow, and seeks the life of the corre- spondent to take it. Having declared all the as- sertions of the Heraip go baseless as to be un- worthy reply he rushed into print, and declared that the HERALD WAS IN LEAGUE WITH THE GOVERNMENT to secure tho political death of himself and Mr. Galt, and traced the authorship of the article toa gentleman formerly on the editorial staff of the Gazette. Mr. Hantington’s letter being very pas- sionate and containing no attempt at disproving any portion of the Heraxp’s article, that gentle- man was eevercly punished by the Gazelle. This journal showed that the statements of the Hgnatp were guarded, but precise and correct, and charged Mr. Huntington with occupying the exact position stated in the Henatp—either that of a traitor or of an involuntary co- worker with traitors. It also rebutted the accusation of complicity between the Henatp and the Canadian government, an as- sertion utterly ridiculous to any one who reflected that in political matters the alleged correspond- ent had been a notorious opponent of the govern- ment. But the last straw came in the shape of a letter identifying, from the descriptions published in your issue of the 6th, the following geutlemen as office bearers of tho Union Leaguo:— President—Hon. John Young. Vice President—Mr. R. Latiamme. Secretary—Hon. L. 8. Huntington. Treasurer—Mr. Harrison Stevens. Forthwith Mr. Huntington issved a second de- claration, more violené than the first, wherein he renewed the attack on the Hzratp, like that of the serpent on the file, and, whether through ac- cident or design, utterly forgot to deny the soft impeachment. The shrewd Gazette, finding its opponent’s flank open, renewed the attack with treble vigor, and Mr. Huntington has not been heard of since, One thing is certain, the independence party in Canada has GONE UP. The expose of its aims and organization in the Hegravp has accomplished what all the diatribes of the tory press had failed to effect and hence- forth leaving a fair field for the solution of the problem of British connection or independence. A remarkable confirmation of the accuracy with which the tactics of the party had been fore- shadowed was afforded by the MISSISQUOI ELECTION, which fs just over. Oolonel Chamberlin, the hero of Pigeon Will and late member for that county, having been pensioned off with a mess of pottage in the shape of a Queen's Printership, a new member liad to be selected. The loyalists selected the strongest man in the country, Mr. G. B. Baker, a wealthy landholder, a fine 5 er, of food family and Popgiee: He rode the British ion and waved tho “olo flack’ over his head. Against him the American party pitted Mr. Has- kell A. Hogle. This gentleman left Canada at an early age and becamoe,! belleve,an American citizen, Any way he made a fortune in tho States and returned to rest on his laurels amid bis native boulders. He is little known and I cannot say favorably. He came out under the wing of the annexation party and was characterized as an annexationist at once by the tory press. He did not appear at the nomination, having at once gone to New York and Washington to work the oracle, and the show of hands was largely in favor of Baker. From Montreal went down Mr. G. W. Stephens, son of the Harrison Sed hoc who had been charged with complicity in the Union League, a city counsellor and a man of wealth, and Mr. Wilfrid Dorion, brother of the Hon. A. A. Dorion, leader of the rouge party. The tory party were deceived into false security. Mr. Chamberlin had been elected three years before by a majority of 400, over a strong and respectable man, and this was supposed to bea big enough majority to work on. Besides, it was currently believed that Mr. Hogle would not run, and his absence lent the rumor an air of probabil- ity. And lastly, it is the popular thing to consider the annexatiouists as moneyless. ‘The tory press consequently and loudly pointed to “‘loil ole Mis- Segpare ond bade the croakers for annexation wait a bit and see how the British lion would flat- ten them out. The Americans were very and sus- Piciously quiet. Not an open move was made, no oo s held, ae ag the day hee the polling, en they swooped down upon the unsugpectin, loyalists and ks oe a . CAUGHT THE BRITISH LION ASLEEP. Mr. Hogle came back from New York with some $11,000 and from Montreal » sum of $6,000 was sent. I have before me what a correspondent calls the “correct” subscription list making up the latter eum; but it varios in the amounts ma- terially, althongh but little in the names, from another version, so that it 1# best to hold it for correction.

And that, too, rnn- ning & w6ak man against a strong candidate—a satyr to Hyperion, The result wasa ‘‘facer’” to the tories. Colonel Chamberlin told me in conversation that they were good for at least 800 majority. Ican assure you that there was very little jubilation among the loyalists. They. all felt. like Pyrrhus, “Another such victory.” The American party have no one to blame but themselves. Had they been content to follow the line firet decided upon and indicated in the Henaxp, and run a ‘respectable’ dammy to split the “respectable” vote, there is not the slightest doubt but that they would have carried their man. Bat advice of the younger and more confident men was taken, fact may be quoted in slight confirmation. connection Ihave claimed to exist between the independence and annexation parties, that the candidate first selected before Mr. Hogle was trotted out was the pious, moral, respectable and truly loyal Hon, John Young. ANOTHER BATTLE FIELD now presented itself in the shape of Quehec Hast. This district of the city of Quebec {s largely in- habited by shipbuilders and other mechanics or laborers engaged in constructing or unloading vessels. There has been much distress among these mon of late. The commerce of Quebec having been transferred to Montreal, and ship- building having large! yp oereenet, a state of dis- content existed whic heen intensified by re- cent strikes and riots, and by the late great fire, which left many hundreds of them rooiless and destitute. These men are all ready to receive the most violent principies and to go to any lengths to secure their triumph. Annexation has been a favorite idea of theirs, a political nostrum to cure all the ills whereto the body poli- tic iw heir. Last year It was these 10,000 men who formed the meeting, convened by Mr. Joha O'Farrel, that passed annexation resolutions in sight of the flag on the citadel. An election for the Comynons being about to be held, a French- man, M. Valin, was brought out on the annexa- tion ticket against M. Yourangeau. The former is arude, unlettered man with little to recom- mend him in the way of social positien and inflzence, while M. Tonrangeau was formerly Mayor of the city and had ail the government influence to back him. The Hon. H. L. Langevin was sent down to pass round the hat, and the whole influence of the priests,—which among a superstitious aud ignorant population is such as free and enlightened Americans caunot adequately conceive,—was thrown into the scale. After two days’ riot and bribery on both sides, M. Touran- geau was elected by the fair majority of 77. So gross were the practices connected with the elcc- tion, that, at first, the returniag officer refused to declare the result. As it is the election will be contested. SPREADING THB INPECTION. At the same time another actor appeared on the scone in the person of M. Louis Honore Frechette. This gentleman isan ardent Fren¢h Canadian, a poet of indubitable heat and genius although his oems are marred by frothy iinitations of Victor Hugo. His sympathies are liberal, and he is de- votedly attached to the cause of Americanisi. For some time past he bas been in Chicago, whence he returned about a fortnight since. ite commenced by delivering an oration in Quebec, on a Sunday afternoon, jn favor of annexation. It was rapturously received by an audience of five or six thousand people. Then he crossed to Levis and again spoke on the same subject. It is wor- thy of remark that at this mecting was present Mr. Blanchet, member for the county, and speaker of the Assembly, and that he listened to the whole tirade in approving silence, and did not attempt to say one word to controvert the “‘trea- sonable utterances” of M. Frechette. This latter gentleman is now engaged in holding a similar series of meetings among the French Catholics of the South shore, below Quebes, and is being well received. He is the first of the series of political evangelists who are to be employed in lecturin all over the country to advance the cause oi annexation, 1 hear also that there will be a similar series of meetings held in Montreal East, the constituency of Sir. G. E. Cartier, where 8 very strong feeling against him exists on ac- count of the unpopul luties on coal and flour. It is no secret that Mr. Cartler’s late election cost something like $25,000, and even then he only de- feated a rank demagogue and blackguard, M. Lauctot, by a scant majority, all things consid- ered. He was damnably disgusted with the re- sult and avowed his intention rather than go into such another contest to seek election in a more ig- norantand less expensive rural district, some “Berks county” of conservatism like Vercheres. BEAUTISS OF CANADIAN ELECTIONS. It may be wasting a few lines of eka but I cannot refrain from giving two little incidents of this Cartier-Lanctot election, valuable as showin, what success a moneyed organization may expec’ among the ignorant Canadians. The Lanctot party, Deine short of money took to passing off rolls of gaspipe on their supporters to pay them for their votes. They also achieved an immense success by purchasing $4,000 worth of counterfeit vine backs from a dealer on Vesoy street anda lot of Confederate notes, which were paid out with Jav- ishness and received gladly by the free and inde- pendent electors who could not read. But the triumph of the election was the sendib; round of three emissaries of M. Lanctot, armed with huge ledgers and inkhorns, like census enu- merators or assessors, Stopping at the door of an elector’s dwelling they would gravely ask the good woman of the house how many windows ere were in her happy home? How map; doors? How many chimueys? Anychildren? so, how many? All the answers being gravely recorded, the officials turned to depart. The wo- man’s curiosity being aroused, she, of course, asked the officials ‘Why this thusness?’ ‘The urbane officials told her the government of M. Cartier was about to impose a tax on windows, doors and babies of a dollar apieco! I need hardly add that the electors rallied to the polls like demone, and plumped against the arbitrary tax, so that a penniless adventurer and common swindler was enabled to run the leading Minister of the Crown, backed by the whole influence of the priests and respectable people, and a mint of money, a neck-and-neck race. Talk of your ne- groes! Whata field would not French Canada present for the enterprise of an accomplished “caxpet-bagger” like Whittemore. AN INDEPENDENCE DEMONSTRATION. You will remember that a public meeting was mooted in Montreal to take into co:fSideration tho conduct of tho American government in re tho Feuian raid, and to represent to the Imperial Cabinet the necessity of obtaining “indemnity for the past and protection for the future.” The com- mittee appointed to work the demonstration was one of the most influential ever put togther. It contained such men as Mr. Hugh Allan, pecpsietor of the Allan’s line of steamships and President of the Merchants’ Bank and Montreal Telegraph Company; Mr. 8. H. King, Preeident of the Bank of Montreal; Mr, C. J. Brydges, Managing Direc- tor of the Grand Trank Railway—the throe most powerful men in Canada. The others were such rominent and wealthy citizens as Hon. Thomas yan, Hon. George Moffatt, Mr. Hudon, My. Mur- ray, Mr. Thomas Workman, M. P.; Mr. and others. The object waa, of course, to create the impression that all the ‘wealth, beaut! influence” of Montreal was on the side of British connection, and thus to silence forever those who dared assert that there was discontent or dis- loyalty in Canada. A set of resolutions, properly toady and tory, was cooked, aud the meeting arranged for, the loyalists bringing alot of men upon whom they could depend, who would cheer aud hiss in the right places, Meanwhile the independents got wind of it and prepared to give the engineer a HOIST WITH HIS OWN PRTARD. Accordingly Messrs. Young, Huntington, W. Dorion and others got up a series of counter reso- lutions, affirming that our Fenian troubles and all our other ills were exclusively due to British con- nection and could only be removed by indepen- dence, concluding by denouncing the meetin, @ fraud and moving an adjournment for three days, when a publio meeting in the open air should be held, whereat o fair idea of popular sentiment might be obtained. So quietly was all this done that not a word of the counter plot jeaked out. A body of mon was procured to inanitest the necessary ‘‘apontaneons popular de- sire for independence.” I have not juil details who organized this, but I know that the leadera Were Irisiinen who had supported Deviin against McGee in 1667. Among these was Mr. James Howley, who was to have taken a place on the platform and to have ridden the whirlwind and controlled the storm. ‘To the disgust of the arty, who had placed much faith in him, @ owns attacked by that fell destroyer, the pipsy-wipsy, or’ some analogous com- laint, and didn't attend.

The Mayor, ons . Workmen, who says annexation wot be desir- ablo were it only for the advantage of preventing barglara and defaulters from fleeing across the lines, was in the chair, and all the respectability was around him, A couple of hes were made, and received in silence, when the momout the objectionable resolutions were read the signal ‘was given, and the yi “PHILISTINES BE UPON THEE’ was the word. A perfect storm of hisses broke from the crowd, followed by counter cheers, and yells for “Young !? “Huntington !”? ““Laflamme !” ‘ndependence !” Mr. Young advanced to the tform, and appearance was the sigual for a redoubled renewal of the tumult. The independ. ents cheered, the loyalists yelled, the people on the plavform went wild, and Babel was only 8 joke to the pandemonium produced “by ese 2,500 people, After twenty minutes’ uproar, the crowd being» hoarse, Mr. Young managed to read. his resolutions at the imminent peril of ‘busting a wessel.’’ Thea the crowd engaged again, and his speech became ractically Nar mat M. Laflamme followed fim with wild gesticulations, Then the Mayor put the resolutions in damb show, but it was im- possible to say who had the best of it.)' There- upon the house divided, and such a rash was mado across the benches as eclipsed the thunder on Jura. Gna: and cheering were renowed, and the 'rench Canadians present struck up “A la Claire Fontaine” and ‘La Marseillaise,” adding a musical element to the discord. Mr. Workman declared the amendment of Mr. Young, calling for an adjournment, lost and the main resolutions carried; but the division was 0 close as to render a decision almost sheer guesswork. Mr. Spelman assured me that there were between fifty and 100 majority for the “loyal” resolutions. The crowd then bedlamized so that all further speaking was ieooenle, aud the meeting broke up in confu- jo. A PAULINE CONVERSION, One little incident I wish to mention, Mr. Dev- lin, the leader of the Irish Catholics, crossed the floor with the independents, and’ has, indeed, all along professed liberal views on the subject. And one of the most active independents present was Mr. Alfred Perry, of the Royal Insurance Company, the famous amateur fireman, whose deeds at Paris and whose decoration By ihe Emperor were at tho time reported in the Henatp, Last year, just about the inception of the independence move- ment, the Canadian correspondent of the Tribune was badly bamboozled by @ noted independent, who induced him to publish a pretended list of annexationists, among whom were all the proml- nent tories in Canada, Mr. Perry’s name figured among these, and he was one of the loudest in his vindications of his loyalty and in his subsequent denunciations of the independents, Mr. F. B. MacNamee, however, afterwards asserted in a let- ter published in a New York journal that at the Governor General’s banquet, Mr. Perry being bacchi plenus, made himeelf conspicuous by shouting for annexation in the very prescnce of the representative of royalty. This factseems borne out by late events, and the conversion ig notable, @s a inore violent tt than Mr. Perry was formerly it would be impossible to imagine, THE SITUATION REVIEWED. Looking at these three events of importance it will be seen that the Heraxp’s resume in a former number has been proved substantially correct, and that its candid appreciation of the politic situation was accurate. Thereis a perfect organi- zation existing, and in its ranks the independ- dencists and aunexationists are laboting with una- nimity, although they may ene deny their com- plicity. The policy pursued in Missisquoi was pre- dicted, and the closeness of the result has proved that nothing but the departure in one particular from the scheme previously laid down prevented the securing of an annexation victory. he work of political evangelization has com- menced, and is being actively pushed forward. And, finally, the most aceptical are becoming con vinoed that annexation can be openly avowed with & possibility of success, and that money can be procured both in Montreal and New York for its support. The indopancence meeting at Montreal anent the Fenian raid shows that the mass of the J eople have not'yot formed an opinion on the sub- deo) but can be and are being handled by the lead- ers of cither party. TSE INDEPENDENTS AGAIN, The independents having been pretty peerong yy. flattened out urabe HeERaxp, have rested on thei oars of late. ere has been nothing more heard of the Independence League, which Mr. Young, in ® private letter, sald he was forming. There was some talk of the part; baying @ paper, but as when the Mail of this city was for sale Mr. Hunt- ington said he could not raise $500, and recom- mended the applicaut to try the Yankee Jumber- ers, Idon’t think it will come to much. Mr. Huntington hasn’t much faithin the idea. A meeting of “ gs beta unfledged barristers, &c., was held in Montreal last night. Several speeches were made. Overtures have been made on the part of the moribund Star, the organ of the party in Montreal, to its former mauager to re- Pig charge, and declined. So much for Bucking- im. 4 NEW RICHMOND IN THE FIELD. Aconple of days since one of our Bohemian morning contemporaries, or, rather, post-tempo- raries, announced the departrre for England of Mr. W. H. Morrell, who had gone over to sound the English Cabinet on the Anse phncense question. Mr. Morrell was proprietor of the Albion until a couple of years ago, and has been from the first an advocate of colonial independence. His “mission” to England has been undertaken utterly without any communication with the threo men who form the independence party at Montreal, or, at least, my telegram to a well informed corres- ondent failed to elicit uy ifaformation, it is not likely that a man of any education, and at all versed in the ways of the world,would be such an idlot as to go all the way to England to pump Mr. Gladstone ona subject as to which he is reticent in the Commons. He would not be likely to gain an fn- terview for this purpose, or, if he did, the practi- cal ie resulting therefrom would be hardly visible to the naked ear. SoI must put the hy- othesis that Mr. Morrell goes on account of tho independents, or on his own hook, completely out of court. I have an idea that Mr. Morrell goes on behalf of the Canadian government TO SPY OUT THE LAND. Mr. Campbell is in England on a formal embassy, and his intercourse must necossarily be guarded and official; whereas Mr. Morrell, proceeding trom New York, will not be scrutinized by special cor- respondents, and in a pleasant half:bour’s conver- sation can draw out precisely whet thoy waut to know at Oitawa. My reason for suspecting this, in addition to the eurmises above given, is because I know Mr. Morrell to have been already engaged in a pleagant little ivtrigue for the Canadian gov- ernment, and to have been on confidential terms with its leaders. It ia an episode in private politi- cal history as yet unwritten. In the late winter of 1803 journalistic duty called me to New York, and after concluding my business I called on Mr. Morrell to see the Canadian papers. He thea showed me an Ottawa despatch, from a jeading member of the Cabinet, giving in advence some news as to the Cabinet changes, and the conversa- tion turned on the attempts at repeal which the Hon. Joseph Howe was making in Nova Scotia. It was then that Mr. Morrell assured me that Howe was for sale,and was very hard up, and, indeed, that he was in negotiation with the Speaker to obtain his services as editor of the Allion. Iwas shown Mr. Howe’s letter, and told, if I remember rightly, that he was to receive $3,000 a year, of which $2,000 was to be paid by the Canadian government—out of the Secret Service fand, I Ppresume—so that they would not only got rid of & powerful opponent, but would use his talents in supporting and writing up their policy. De plus, there would be no scandal, such as would neces- sarily accrue from giving so open an enemy a public sppol tment. The upshot of the whole matter wad that Y wai given a sealed lettor— sealed after having been réad to me—to the Hon. 8. L. Tilley, Minister of Customs, on the subject, and promised to see him at once and conclude the matter. My iilness after returning to Mon- treal prevented my going on at once to Ottawa to meet Mr. Tilley, but I wrote, enclosing my let- ter, and had arranged by wire for an interview, when I received a despatch from Mr. Morrell stat- ing that Mr. Howe had got tired of waiting and had sailed tor England on his famous repea! mis- sion. Ihave always kept Mr. Tilley’s correspon- dence in the hope it would “come useful some day.” tr Mr. Morrell was sufficiently trusted for so im- portant a negotiation itis quite possible that he ey be given another little job just now, and that he is to ascertain how England would go im for Canadian independence, with tho autonomy of the new nation guaranteed, say for twenty years, by England and the United States. Iam‘ given to understand that the present Cabinet are prepared to accept this as a coucession to the feeling against British connection, aud still a course op- posed to American union. TUB KO KLUX KMANADIANS next merit and shall receive my attention, The Union League met in Montreal on the 7th and then adjourned till the 10th, then again to the 14th, on each occasiow on account of the absence of iatelligence froa Lngland. They repot to me that twenty-seven vames--an add’ on of fourteen—were on the list, and wot additional pledges of money and sub- port had been made toa gratifying extent. ‘he complete wreck of the independence party and the foolish urecivitoucy which had marked the action of Young, Darion, Ste and others, in re the mee! ‘and the Mi eleotion were sed. A letter was read from their English gorreap' ent, announcing the arrival of lon. Mr. Catnpbell, the Canadian Comisoner by ths Austrian on the 28th of Sunt Mr, cay ell, it said, was very jolly, and treat od the rip asa od way to get expenses for back ‘is wife, who was.ona tourin Europe. He was to proceed to Paris at once, and did not seem in a hurry to meet the colonial authorities. The letter concluded that there was parsing else to aay; that another would follow as soon as Mr. Campbell had done anything, bars fous daaaeripepot ae is ae view were at portant a cable despa would be sent, Viewing this, and after deciding on getting up a few meetings to kee) alive, the mee ng sdiourned to tho 26th of this month, ‘I forgot to ndd that a lodge has been formed at Quebeo, another (French) at the same place, and @ third in Missisquoi. Advices from Halitax aud New Brunswick were very cheering. CORROBORATION, The statements of the English correspondent in ion I know to be substantially correct. le Mr. Campbell sailed on the 1sth, with a verbal and informal summary of his instrnotions, the formal document Itself was only drawn up on d ad pa he Colonial Department pp and oven then the change ym. Earl Granville Lord Kimberley, and excitement consequent on the breaking out of a European war, would be sure for some time to delay negotiations, ENGLAND'S COLONIAL POLICY » is not likely to undergo serious chauge? On one thing Mr. Gladstone is declded—no more-payment of $21,000,000 a year, whereof the lubberly Do- minion exacts $5,000,000 for the maintenance of ihe colonies. They must be prepared to accept a much more rntional system if they desire to remain an integral portion of the empire. England de- sires that they should be self-supportiog, and in retarn will grant them all the advantages of an alliance, offensive and defensive, If they expect England to fight in their qnarrels they must not shrink from the consequences of England’s quar- rela, England persists in withdrawing her troops, with the exception of garrisons at Quebeo and Halifax. I cannot eay that the reasons given in the official despatch are of such a nature as to induce much gratulations on the part of tho Canadians. Earl Granville says, without an; diplomatic circumlocution, that he leaves garri- sons of regulars there, because the points are of too paramount importance to be entrusted to volunteers, Hard on the heroes of Eccles’ Hill and Ridgeway. The new regime will involve on Canada’s part an additional expenditure of from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 annually, and as the noxious system of imperial guarantee is to be withdrawn, the financiers of the bankrupt Domi- nion will have to cudgel their brains more than ever to male both ends met. THE ROUGB CAMP, like the house of Satan, is divided against itself. Mr. Holton recently published a letter, declaring the independetice movement premature, and Iikely to lead to annexation, an issue which he deplores with the righteous sorrow.of a man who worked for annexation in 1848, and has hardly yet cleared his private skirts of the imputation. Thereupon the Gazette and other weil informed journals argued that there had been a quarrel between Mr. Holton, or theo loyal annexation section, and the honest annexatfonisis under the leadership of Mr. Laflamme and Mr. Dorion, The Herald, which is the organ of and does the job printing for both parties, de- nied that any such split had occurred; but as that journal generally lies in such matters its denial is worth little save as corroborative evidence. One thing is certain, there has been a coolness be- tween the chief of the rouge party, which has se- riously threatened the life of the very one-horse organization which since 1854 has cultivated tho virtues of profession in the cold shgdes of opposi- tion. If a rupture has been tided over it is still im- minent. Mr. Holton is loyal et presert, and will not move for indepennence er annexation. He being mervoren to aearcret one wing of the rouges, liberals or whatever they call themselves, allies himself closely with Mr. Mackenzie, chief of the Ontario opposition. Mr. Huntington ard Mr, Galt are for independence; Mr. Dorion, Mr. La- flamme and Mr. Leteilier do St. Just are for an- nexation. The last named gentleman leads the opposition in the Senate, and bas just made a olitical confession of faith by attending ® mcet- ing at amouraska, whereat M. Pelletier, M. P., Pitched into Canada, flattered the States and de- clared himself not frightened by the bugbear an- nexation. Senator de St. Just spoke in pretty much the same vein. Here there is a party, so feeble as to be contemptible. and yet whose leaders have the madaess to trisect it, and render their chance of success still more hope- less. Are Mr. Holton and Mr. Mackenzie pre- Liebe to do without Galt, Huntington, Dorion and e extreme rouge wing? AN INTRIGUB ANEAD. A capitolian rumor gives a solution of this mys- tery. The government is getting weak, and the wily leaders are seeking *to infuse into it a new element of strength. ir John A. MacDonald's game is wellknown. It is to bribe his enemies into making an alliance, and then, having used them, to throw them overboard without rath or compunction. It was thus he induced Brown and McDougall to join the coalition of 1€€4, and thus, his power secured and object accomplished, that ho sacrificed them, and doomed the former to (perches ostracisin, distrusted by the party he had b etrayed, despised by the meu who had profited yy kis treachery, and subjected the latter toa series of insults which goaded him to madness, and culminated in his humbly recanting before his constituents the errors which love of office had led him to espouse. The goverament wants new blood, and the unpopularity of Howe and Hincks is so patent an element of weakness that the evil must he corrected. What form tie recon- struction will take it is not easy to foresee—whether ‘the ministers will find out some fine day that their cheirs have been taken over night by new incumbents, or whether they will be shelved politely in profitable sinecures, like that babbling ass Belleau or tho impotent Howland. And what more natural than that Sir John A. MacDonald should reinforce his ministry by inviting into the cabinet Mr. Holton and Mr. Mackenzie? The leader of the goverament is fond of startling effects, and has succeeded so edmir- ably time and again that no one need be surprised if the Heraup’s platform be carried out. ‘Tho overnment press has commenced by soft soaping fir. Mackenzie, pnuiog his virtue, ability and moderation, much after the manner of THE BOA CONSTRICTOR, when he prepares to boltarabbit. Mr. Mackenzie and Sir John A. are both on a ‘tower’ in the Lower Provinces, where they can talk business withouta Globe reporter conchant 2% the key-hole. Mr. Holton will be an easy prey if Mr. MacDonald once ‘goes for’ him. Holton is a man of ability in finance—that is, of ability in small details requiring labor—although he lacks the breadth of view and rapid general grasp of Galt. He is so perfectly read in the tactics of the House and knotty rules of order as to be a nasty opponent. He has an execrable temper and an overweening self-conceit, and, in short, is delightfully consituted by nature to become a tool in the hands of a patient and able man. Ho and Mr, Mackenzie would bave no more chance in the hands of the cleverest polltician in America— for such I congider Sir John A. MacDonald to be— than a pair of puppets in the hands of their mani- pulator. Of course, there will bo a scene in the House. Sir John will announce that a new coali- tion embracing all the cardinal virtues has been formed, and Mr. Holton or Mr. Mackenzie (moved unto tears, in all probability, after the manner of Mr. Brown in 1864) will corroborate the statement and nobly sacrifice themsclyes on the shrino of publio duty. The government having thus carried the clections of 1872, tho ‘sacrifice’ will take piace but I fancy Mr. Holton, instead of playing the priest, will probably furnish himaelf 48 8 tough lamb for a burnt offering. : * GONGLUSION, T draw this long letter {68 close by repeating the predictions made in iny former article and the same summary of the situation. The past fortnight has not, not could it be expected to havo Sevoloped much novelty. The independenco party may be counted upon as bursted finally, and the two broad issues of annexation or British connection are left. Tho people are ripe for any change or any gospel, if it be only presented at once. ‘ihe American party are awake and active, and their defeats have rather emboldened them since they so closely abutted on victories. ‘The tories are beginning faintly to appreciate Sie poe a, and to aweken to the fact that the world moves, and the annexa- tionists exist. If they choose to fallin with the moderate policy enunciated by England, and to awallow their faise pride, they may delay the date of annexation for twenty years, barring an Anglo- American war. But if they persisi in their present coarse, then there will be a battle royal, a politi- cal agitation which may be fanned inio revolution, and a general confusion, with American unity for the prize and tho New York Heraup as time- keeper and referee.

The Chieftain lowered a boat and % commissary boat from George’s Island was manned; by a number of artillerymen who were by and! put off toward them, and Mr. Samuel Noble, wha: was sailing in tho vicinity, also assisted in the ef= forts to save life. Mr. Magan, a seaman on board the Chieftain, jumped overboard and supported Mrs. O'Connor until the ship’s boat was lowered. She was taken to the residence of Mr. Fagan’s sister in Barrington street, and was for a long tima unconscious, but. was finally brought to. Mrs Noble's boat saved Miss Butler, and the com missary boat saved. Miss Theresa O’Connor, who-were both conveyed to Hare’s wharf in: the latter boat, while Mr. Noble remained cruising ubout for some time to see if any of the other late occupants of the Charlie would rise in view.
