8 CANADIAN ANNEXATION. Another Gun — Progress of the Good Woerk—Bubiio Meetings In Favor of Americanism~ Enthusiastic Reso~ Intions—Politieal Troubles— A Standing Army—Loyal Filibustering. Orrawa, July 28, 1870. ‘The ag'tation in Canada continues unabated, indeed it grews daily, despite the efforts of the tories to belittle and repress it. The Hmaarp’s Ottawa correspondence published on the 27th gave a spicy chapter of political history of espe- cial interest to Amerioan readers, with seme pro- phecies as to startling changes possible in the near future. Evente have within the week borne eut the views of the Henaxp, and I deem it well to report progress, although necessarily briefly, Jes! I wear out my welcome, In my previous letters I alluded to a campaign mow being prosecuted among the French Cana- dians in the interests of annexation, instancing the election in Quebeo East and the mass mect- ings held at Levis, Kamouraska and otber points. Lown I am quite at a loss to account for the sto- cess which attends these meetings. If the Catho- lie clergy willed it they could put an end to all these demonstrations by one crack of the whip of religious coercion over their abject team. But they permit or do not oppose the holding of these meetings under the auspices of men practically under the ban of the Church. It has been re- ported that the American sympathizers in Canada were approaching the Catholic clergy of Canada through the CATHOLIC CLERGY IN NEW YORK, and that they would endeavor to obtain the good offices of the American hierarcy in converting or disarming the conservative clergy of Canada. But I cannot think that they should have so soon sweceeded in so vital a point as this, To resume, Sunday is the great day for political discussions in Catholic Canada, and the hastings are the various church doors. After vespers the whole congregation gathers without the sacred edifice, the county member or the stump orator of the day stands on the steps or on the seat of a vehicle, and the session is opened. The French Canadian goes in for public meotings aud speech making almost as strong by as the American. The selecting of the church as the place of meeting is g sign of the Norman character again. The people are all religion. If a man gets bank- rupt and his property is to be sold ont, the bailiff or sheriff advertises the salo ‘‘at the door of the church.” The meeting now alluded to was organized by the Montreal annexation party, and took placo Jast Sunday at four o'clock at the door of the parish church at Staufold, in the county of Arthabaska. Thus you will see the FLAMES HAVE BURST OUT im a new place, and proved that the whole heart of the people isin a glow as ardent as that in Ve- suvius, only awaiting opportunity for a declaration bout which there can be no doubt. Arthabaska lies about midway between Three Rivers on the St. Lawrence, and Richmond Juno- tion on the Grand Trunk Railway, It is a newly settled county, and its settlement was directed by the priests, It is a “border county” that is on the frontier of the English townships, and the wiley chief of the Catholic Church keeps their bulwarks wel manned, and will not allow any ‘‘carpet bag- ging”’ to break up their settlements. The county ‘was formerly represented by J. B. &. Dorion, the “spoiled child” of the Carter party, and who was thrashed in the Parliamentary library in 1866, by M. Genin. There were between 2,500 and 3,000 people present at this meeting. The chair was taken by the Mayor, and a tremendous number of orators spread themselves. For annexation, Messrs. Tur- geon, Laurier, Richard and Piteau made their plea, while Messrs. Buies (editor of the Independ- ant), Crepeau and Pacaud drew it mild and went for independence for the present. M. Gerin, edi- tor of the Constitutionnel, to whom I have previ- ously allnded as one of the foremost political wri- ters and constitutional students of the day, upheld the cause of British connection against both par- oe YOUNG DANTONS AND ROBESPIERRES. Almost all of these speakers are young French advocates, well educated, active, liberal, fearless and enthusiastic. They have an ideal Canada much as the Italian an ideal Rome. They are col- lege bred and deeply readin Hugo and the elo- qvence of 1789-93. Camille Desmoulins, Danton, Robespierre, Barras—these mep are their models, end there is in them the staff, if it be properly moulded, to bring aboutanother revolution. Car- tior and the heroes of the Rebellion of 1837-38 were just such men as these—clever, poor. un- known, enthusiastic and visionary young men. Of the lot, Gerin, on the side of conservatism, towers above them all—a man of talent, study, moderation and courage. Laurier probably comes next, and is likely to make his mark. Le Consti- tutionnel, after briefly disposing of the others, gays of M. Laurier:—‘'He is a more serious man. Bince his arrival in the country his popularity grows daily, and every eye looks on him as the future representative. His talents and sterling character have gained him public confidence.” This is “praise from Sir Hubert Stanley,” which 4s “praise indeed.”’ Two sets of resolutions were placed before the audicnce, and those prepared and moved by M. ‘Laurier were adopted. HIGH TREASON. These run as follows:— England, by withdrawing her troops and other acts, has declared our bonds of dependence broken, and we should seek in another political Sorin @ guarantee for our national existence. ‘The initiative In this choice belongs to and rests fn the people. The history of the past proves that our local overnments—the dominion government and Eng fa assistance—have proved unable to develo) the wealth of Canada, to introduce education an: 4ndustry, and that far from marching with the rogressive ipa of the age, we have sgged be- ind, weighed down by « heavy debt and ruinous taxation which depopulated the country and led it 2 its rnin, and we cannct form an independent nation. ‘The annexation of the Dominion of Cauada to the United States would assure to all religions and races among us a full and ample protection, the introduction of manufacturing industry, abun- dance of capital, popular education and the re- turn here to their homes of all the Canadians now en abroad over the face of the American pion. ‘The citizens of Arthabaska fnvite the people in the other counties of Canada to declare them- gelves on the subject of the choice of the new political institution which -we must shortly adopt. TACKING TOWARLS THR SAMB HARBOR. ‘The resolutions introduced by M. Pacand are as f llows :— Tt te an seaential prin iad ay eaaiine Jeattee, Cebh thn motier country poli protect and defend | qi mneeeccnanions cay can she exact fidelity aud alle ance (rom them. \*"Great Britain fa withdrawing from Oanada dally her troops Uur position as ® Bi colony leaves ns open to attack in glamd’e quarrel, and already twice thigyear we bare had bo repel her enemies from our homes, Whereas, a de! bas been sent by the Canadian \- Jeeot te England to induce the mother country 0 withdraw ‘vom her progemt courses Renclved, That while the British empire rules this country lute protection fs due. aon a , Oreat Britain, free ¥ Canedians f: ‘Tht antl the Hon.

Xe peovle of Caneda to demand thelr independence. At the conclusion of the meeting the witole essembly (eined in singing the national air of Canada, “\ Wve la Canadienne,” the MAASRILLAISE OF ‘AMERICA. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. declared fn thetr resolutions that these are worth reprodi independents throw the blame on England, declare that unless she does as they desire they will demand cheir in- dependence, ‘But the annexationists have the weather gage, and their platform will be sure to be popular. {t follows the platforms laid down by the American people in the Declaration of In- dependence, and by the French republicans to 1790, fa declaring that the people shall decide upon their own future, And the hint that, with the stars and atripes waving over the citadel at Quebec, the French Canadians now dispersed all over the American Union would re. turn to Canada, is a master-stroke, It will take” with the mass of the people. especially the Lee | men, who euthusiastically love their country au their nationality and entertain dazzling hopes as to the influence of the French in America, It is like the French idea, that they are the standard nici of Burope. This “new idea” is like that of the RETURN TO JERUSALEM of the Jews, Im a few weeks you will hear all ovey Cauvada new political songs sung to the airs so dear to the Canadian heart, ‘‘La Belle Cana dienne,” or ‘La Marseillaise,” or that splendid song written at just such'a crisis of excitement by Cartier, ere yet he became a Baronet:—‘‘0 nada; Mon Pays, Mes Amours.”” (O Canada; My Country and My Loves). the work in theeasterd townshipg does not halt one whit, and appearances wguld, seem to indicaze that ‘Missiquol will again be the battle- field, The Honorable Sir A. ‘T, Galt has been th- vited to deiiver the annual oration before the ag- ricultrral society of that county, just as a Huntington «yas = dast year. his is a eoub Ou the county member, Mr. Baker, and consequently the foyalists tried to get square by arranging that @ pre-enta- tion of a stand of colors should take place on the same occasion to the county volunteers who dis- tinguished themselves during the tate Fenian raid. This was a deep and desperate dodge, and I doubt whether the feeling would not have GULMINATED IN BLOODSHED. Fortunately cooler counsel prevailed, and the presentation was deferred. Still it shows what both pane are prepared to d@, and [ am no po- litiea! prophat if 1 am not called upon to report riot and bloodshed ere winter. _ in my last I alluded briefly to a probable split in the ranks of the rouges, between Mr. Holton and Mr. Darion, on the question of independence. Mr. Holton has just declared his position in a lot- ter, wherein he gays:— “Regarding the attempt to introduce the ques- tion of independence into the arena of practical politics as extremely unwise, and _as fraught with great peril to the liberal party in Lower Canada, whose fortunes I have so long followed, my aim was, by a calm and earnest statement of some considerations lying at the threshold of the sub- ject, to arrest the attention of valued friends, who, there was some reason to believe, were about to commit what I could not help consider- ing @ grave political blunder, by assisting in the formation of a distinctive party to agitate the question of immediate independence. Highly as are the uses of party and party fidelity to be esteemed in countries posseseing rep- rosentative institutions, it would be absurd to pre- tend that on # qnestion so momentous as this the ordinary obligations,of party fealty can be in- voked to bind the consciences or control the judg- ments of the members of a party organized for purposes within the usual scope of political par- ties. On the contrary, if this question is really made a practical one it must necessarily supersede old party issues and lead to a comple recast of partic. * * * My own position on this question can be very briefly, and itehall be very plainly, stated. Inthe present circumstances of the country I do not re- ard independence as either desirable or attainable. o adequate cause of revolution exists among us, and, in tho absence of any such cause, I do not believe our people can be induced to demand such @ revolution. Holding these views I depre- cate an agitation, which must be fruitless so far as its avowed object is concerned, but which may be fruitful of disaster to the country, by weal ing, if not destroying, the legitimate liberal party, now rapidly gaining strength throughout the whole Dominion.’ Such are the last dying words of Mr. Holton, and rarely is a political conjecture so accurately and speedily verified as that made in the New Yorx HeraLp. Since Juno, 1869, that journal has predicted the complete objiteration of party lines as sure to follow when independence became at all popular. More recently, reviewing Mr. Holton’s situation, it took occasion to allude to the schism between him and his colleagues on this question of independence, and put into his mouth the very words which he here employs concerning rising superior to party ties. r. Holton is walking right onward to a coalition with Sir John A. Mac- donald, and the most weatherwise politicians at the capital declare that if within the next two months independence or annexation gains ground then the coalition will be formed to prevent it. In fine the Hexaxp still seems to deserve the eulo- gium passed upon it by poor McGee, who, on ono occasion in conversation, observed, “ Tas New York Herp will come nearer the fact in a bun- dred political predictions than any other paper in ca Naa However, this letter has not to do wi JOURNALISTIO INFALLIBILITY, so let me get on. Mr. Mackenzie is well known to be strongly opposed to independence, and I remember that one of General Averili’s first articles last year was written with a view of drawing him out. He has since declared himself decidedly enough, Heaven knows. Mr Galt isin quiet quarters at Caeouna or Oushing’s Island, endeavoring to solve the conundrum, ‘What are the wild waves say- ing?’ He fights very shy of his own baatling, independence, and his friends accuse him of wait- ing to see how the political cat is going to jump ere he declares himself. 1 know that the General last year complained that Mr. Galt’s colors were not sufficiently prononce. In a few days, how- ever, he must come out flat footed, or else retire into political obscurity for the rest of his life. The loyal press, with that amiable insanity which characterizes it, has been foaming at the mouth over the hostile reception which met Darl Carnarvon’s very foolish notion in the Lords, thanking the Canadian BOULD SOJER BOYS foprepressing the Fenian troubles. All this in- dignation is useful ag showing how preternaturally exacting Canadians are towards England. No slight whatever was conveyed in the rejection of Karl Carnarvon’s foolish motion; but the motion itself was an insult to the dignity of the House, and it is looked upon in this light by the wiser spirits here. In course of conversation yesterday with Colonel Chamberlin, than whom there is no more enthusiastic Canadian, and who, as the most distinguished ‘‘hero’’ of the recent war of Chicka- biddy Lick, should feel the slight keenest, if slight there were, he said, very sensibly:— “England votes thanks to Nelson or Wellington after the Nile or Waterloo. We pupty did our duty. We badn’t a man scratched in two petty skirmishes. To expect that the English nation is going to formally vote us thanks is ridiculous. I can stand swords and medals, bat even I can’t stand that.” He, however, is one of the few men of his party who have common “‘horse”’ sense. ‘Talking of volunteers reminds me that Canada is to havea STANDING ARMY. The government is evidently pretty well satis- fled, as has been foretold all along iu the Hezaup, the English troops are to be withdrawn and the task of defending the Dominion thrown on tha, people of Canada. Ships are sailing from Quebeo with guns and stores removed from the Citadel, barrack stores and bedding are everywhere being sold and s company of speocaiative Yankees have offered to buy out the Citadel property at Quebec and turn it into a boulevard, ades of Wolfe and Sir William Phipps, has it come to this! The Canadian “army” , in nambers, be something like the terrible battalions which manceuvre on the stage of the Bowery. It will consist of three battalions, each of twenty compa- nies and 1,000 men. One battalion will protect On- tario, one Quebec and onethe maritime provinces. The troops will not be ‘‘massed”’ at any one point, bat will be distributed In Denice atall points where there is government military preperty to defend. The Minister of Militia has just returned from a trip through Ontario to take possession of the barracks and fortifications turned over to him by the imperial authorities. ‘The ei will not, eee see, be very formidable, Its men will, I hear, enlisted for three years. It will only be at best a sort of glorified police force, and will afford opportunities for Mr Lan- gevin, Mr. Chanvean other politicians of ne- potic tendencies to pension a few of ther be ied gy kone aoa ve jwently adverted to the indignation felt by the Protestants of Ontario over the arked diplomatic defeat which they have just suffered at the hands of Bishop Tache ‘and company on the Red River question. Another indignation meeting has just been held at Toronto, when inflammatory speeches were made and blood and thunder reso- lutions passed. One of the speakers made a HI? WORTHY OF BAnNUM, by Tagging out of his coat tail pocket what he a6 the audience to be the rope with whish the hands of Scott were bound when Riel executed him. The Protestant war horse was trotted out, lacards put the conundrum, ‘Shall a berruther rangemen be shot by hireling Papixhes?’’ and a cheerful Ef Park feeling pervaded the atmos- phere, A yard and a qnarter of resokition was The nistforn Of both parties are xo thoroughly } paused; bué the only noticeable feature was the final one, which declared that if the government couldn’t or wouidn’t protect life and Frotestant- ism in the Northwest, the people of Ontario should start a scheme o! armel emigration, some- thing after the manner of Kansas and Texas. The idea is very popular among the flery young men of Ontario, and I should not be surprised if such @ scheme should be attempted noxt spring.

Poor Sport During a Week—Walting for the Goodwood—Cowing Events—Prices for “Young Ones.” Lonpon, July 14, 1870. ‘The racing during the week, though there has been an enormous quantity of it held alt over England, has been remarkably bad in quality and requires no notice whatever. We shall, indeed, see no good sport of this description until the Goodwood meeting, which 1s held in a fortnight, and not only brings out all our best horses, but is, socially, one of the two most brilliant gatherings of the year. Its principal Taces are the Goodwood Stakes and Cap, which are now almost the only oblects of speculation in the betting market, where, however, everything is at present staie and flat if not unprofitable to some of those concerned, Stis a bold to say that the mania for turf gambling ts gradually dying ‘out, but no one who watches the signs of the times can doubt it. Sporting papers sull flourish, and Hasta of “quotations” are suppited; but as far as real a x concerned they Tndioate ‘noting, ing men mourn over un} iren they made fortunes out of now dead, bankrupt or unpoverished eter and complain bitterly ‘there ig no money in the market.”’ That ts tho fact; but the absence of the money is due to the decline in the taate for betting, and 1t is not too much to say that if government is wise and allows mat- ters to procoed as they are doing there wiil be no ne cessity on its part for any legistative interi¢rence.

Boat Race Between Harry Kelley ani Joseph Sadler—On the Thames, from Putney to Mortlake—£100 and Heavy Bets at Issuc—The Start, Work and Finish. Lonpon, July 16, 18705, A boat race between Marry Keiley, formerly chal pion of the Thames, and Joseph Sadier, vhe wi known Surbiton waterman, took place on the between Putney and Mortlake on Thursday, stake at issue Was £400, and tue contest aroused deepest interest among all who are connected aquatic affairs. Though Kelley 1s now nearly forty years of and has done an enormous amount of racing, wht) Sadler is in the very prime of boating life and done little but tra‘ning, the former was made a favortte and was backed with ax enormous amor of money. The men had met on only one previous when there was no race, but we were treated inst to a law sult, woich went through all the courts wit the exception of the House of Lords, on appeal, ant cost Mr. Charles Bush, the principal supporter Kelley, no less than £2,000, When the squabble been arranged another match was got up, and it w: that which fortunately was rowed on Thursday wit out creating any necessity tor calling in the ald we horse-hair gentlemen, THE START—SOKNE ON THE RIVER BANKS, ; ‘The start was Axed for hali-pa=t three, at out = hour a large number of peopie hud assembled on tl banks of the ‘Thames, as well as on decks of pumerous steamers, the captains} of which, in defauit of any superintendence, hy the Thames Uonservancy, prepared to create amount of confusion and danger, and carried ot their intenuons, Tue ovcasion was honored by the presence of @ number of tie nobility in a steamer which had been chartered by Lord Londosborough, among them the Duke aud Duciess of Manchester, Lady Westmoreland, Lord Carrington and Lord: Brigham.
