tion had to carry war into JAmerica against | couniry, in the present position of the Cuban ingurrection, the interference of the United Sthtes, even by the recognition of the imaurgents as a gorernment, would have to be nccepted by Spain as a cause of war, and since Spain is in no position now to under take such a war singleâ€"handed, she would submit to many éacrifices to obtain the asâ€" sistance of France and England. It is worth while to note that in modern times the nations of Europe are not in the h&dp'qb'.w&dm every war there has been a eodmu,dacl onone side or oa botb, and if it should independence from the Spanish Government, yet the active interference of the United States on their behalf could not be tolerated with honour, noreren with safety, by either forces in Hants. We hope in a short time hence to have no occasion to speak of the repeal agitation in Nova Scotis, except as a thing of the past. .Much has been said and done in that Province during the past two years which cannot too soon be forgotten, and the sooner the Nova Scotians make practical application f the homely adageâ€" "let byâ€"gones be byâ€"gones"â€"the better it will be for themselves and for the interests d)hirm A the Cubans themselves 'l'b'-htbv-yh')y-fi,dm uhuuumuum” eral election in 1369, the late Mr. Kicsim‘s opponent reseived only one hundred and ten votes, so that practically there are at least five Union men in Yarmouth, where there was but one in 1867.

The House gave three rousing cheers for the Qurew, and three for the Lisur.â€"Goverxosr. Such an ucusual outburst of loyal teeling is a strong testimony to the firm attachment of the Sister Province to the glorious old flag, and to the New Dominion. Thecheers will reverberate throughout the weat as a respoh® sive echo to the shout raised in Halifar, the other night, over the great victory in Hants, and confirm our confidence in the permanâ€" ence of our institutions and the community of seatiment which binds us together. Toronto is a man of great physical power, seeing that his constituents charge him with the presentation of such enormous rolls of paper as that monster petition on behalf of the Huron and Ontatio Ship Canal. An expression of public opinion condensed into the amaill form of individual signatures, and yet . having such bulky appearance as the document im question, ought to move the Commons House of Parliament to its very foundgtions. But in case the suspicion should get abroad that this is the identical petition, or the same signatures, as fared so badly at the hands of the Ontario Legisiaâ€" ture, there is danger that the influence would be considerably lessened, though the weight would remain the same.
