A. conscious impression is the first move to be made by any one in order to arrive at a proper conclusion. The origin of anything* may be the place of begining,the mind being* centered there shows the subject is not fic- ticious, and part of the conclusion is obtain- ed Then let us arrive in British North America for the first time,we ar« conscious of being here. Did we light like a balloon, to fill up and leave again ? Then let us consider the migratory expression of the Canadian p(^ople and consider its cause. We have a recoguised House of < ommoiis in England, we have and we haven't ii re- cognised one in Canada which v\\* all admit, therefore a statesman in C-antKla mav ih t get a conscious impression to arrive at a pro- per conclusion, which is absurd. The clear mind of the foreigner must have a shad«»\\ y opinionof Canada's abstract, which accounts to a great extent for the rapid growth of the Un- -^ ^ itedStates A fnrtherexplanation of our system of g)vernment, like virginity, is as ina(*ces8ab!e as the Island of St.Branda,and closes the school of inquiry by suggesting the pott ntially in- finite, or a long look across the Atlantic If we are in a position to^'domand representa- tion in England with like indemnity accord- ed their members, being recognised owners of the British Empire.
