Terms, 75 cents. I have also a part Polled Augus bull. 1) years old, weighing 1 ISO lbs., for serTloe at 75 cent. Dec. 7, W. W. G. OBB, proprietor A Bubscriber writing ub from United States has this to say : "I w»» a little surprised and also an- noyed to read an item in your paper of tlie 11th Nov. where you H«id tho popu Istioii of tiiB U. S. was drawn from the worst elpuicnt of every naiion under the Biin. I lived in Canada the ureater part of my life and I ff>und to my sorrow that the people over there are not all angels hy any means. And I think y»u will admit that we can find gixid and hud wherever we uo. I have met and am aci|uainled with just as jjciod people here »H I think can be found any pluce. I think if 'ho Canadians had a little of the push and anihition fused into them that the Americiins have, Canada would be a much bolter country to-dny." The statement our correspondent refers to read as follows .• "Its poly glot population, drawn from the worst element of every nation nnder the sun, makes it a sort of Islimael- iteou the earth." Thia should not be taken excerption to, because some of the best public men in the United States, and some of its best news- papers, have given voice to similar BPntiments. The Youths' Companion of Boston saya that, whether rightly or wrongly, tho United States is looked upon with a certain degree of difldain by all foreij/n nations. We have not space to quote antlioritie.s, but will give a few iignres in justifica- tion of our statement. The United Biates contains seven million negroes, two millions uf Iiiuh, two millions of Gflitnans, over 100,000 Oliincee. 400,- OCO Scandinavian?, iiOO.OOO hidians, besides Kn-jlibh, Scotch, Wolsli, Frrnch, Pules, Italians, llussians, and natives of all otiicr conntiica in (â- mailer numbers. It publishes ncws- jiapcrs in sixteen or seventeen differ- ent laiiguft^jes. Its Anglo Sasoii peo- ple only roiiiPscnt about 2.5 per cent, of the popuUtion. If llicse ligurcs do not warrant us in using tho word " polyglot," what would ?^ As for " tlie 'voist clement," we think any fair minded United btateser would bo with lis in our plia of juslificatioii, ^nd we leave it with them, It is not atf a rule the better clement of a eonn- tiy that forswears the flu;,' undor whicii it was born and err!i.-<l3 niidor an alien. Do not mieuuderstaud us. Vx'ft do not iiiin this as a cruck ut our coi respoiiilent, becaiwc wo do not know tho country of his birth. Wo Bljoali ill general tcims. Nor dj wo c >'itrudict his asRci'tioii that as good people cau bo found acmsa tho lines uA elsewlierc. Homo of otir owu beat hifiids are over tlicio and somo of our neaiest relatives. Wo simply pointed out the fact that tho republic «as in danger from Iho fact that its foreign population is mado up of an elomtnt which claims to havo giiev^ ancef, against various countries roprc- s^nted, and when llii.s elcniciit became strong enough there was lihely to be an outburst that would be deplored by ad honorable republicaiis.
