This is indeed a very un satisfactory state of things for a large colony like Canada, and goes to show how much after all, every British colony depends upon the Bri tish navy and army to defend it, 1 remember at the time of the war how colonists all professed a lofty con: tempt for the British officer, and stated point-blank that they did | the home country, and that they were | quite alile to take care of themselves. This is indeed the other side of the medal, and indicates that the old ountry is still of some account jn the 'solonies.
