in Scribner for August, writes as
follows:
"Toward the United States there
is no feeling in Canada but friend
ship, und a desire for increased in-
tercourse of every kind. It is not
our fault that thore are so miny
Custom-houses on the froutier lines.
But weru there uo other reasons,
liio one consideration that puts an-
nexation totally out ol tho ques-
tion with us is that it involves the
jjosxibilily of our having to fight
some day against Great Britain, I
dislike to suggest such au unnatur-
al possibility, Tiie suggestion
would be criminal in any other
connection. But my object now
is to go down to the ultimate bas-
is on which our present relations
rest. It is easy to declare that
such a contingency is impossible.
Improbable! yes. But impossible!
no; as long as Gieat Britain and
the United States remain separ-
ate, and humati nature is human
nature. Therefoie, annexation is
an impossibility to us until the
grainier scheme outlined by our
Joseph Howe can be carried into
effect,—namely, some kind of al-
liancc or league of all the En-
glish speaking peoplts. That
would be a consummation worth
hoping for, worth praying for as
men used to pray, It would be
the first step to the 'federation
of tho world.
