Some time back we expected an opinion that tither slavery must be erased hum the statute book of the nation, or the nation itself be divided.

RaTam.crrra r, - In our last week's issue we had the stufacuoo of giving some practical proofs of the desire. to meet the demands of the people on this question, in the reductions that have taken place in the Curium -Houses at Quebec and Montreal. Wei aro glad to state that similar reductions are being made in the same department at Kingston: one item of which is the reduc- tion of the Collector's salary from £I000 to £600.

The Gazette, the other day, resuscitated the question of the Rebellion Losses Act, in the faint hope, we suppose. that he could induce his faction to agitate fur its repeal. We imagine his friends bare suffered quite enough already from listening to hie advice to induce them to refrain furrier following in bis wake. The total disruption of the Great Conservative party -as the Tones formerly delighted to .tyle themselves ;- the utter execration in which they are held in every part of the country : the with- drawal of the Seat of Government from Montreal ; and the maniacal Annexation cry, hare, been some of rho fruits of the policy fifths Gazette and other kindredinur- aae ; and they form sufficient grc,:nda to induce any reasonable man to refrain from further trusting in such blind sdviecte. 1Vhether the Gazette approves or rot, he way rest assured the Rebellion Losses Aet will stand in full force.

THE WANTS OF CANADA. In our 1st, we think, vie 'hewed satie- factouly, that, in the present state of the representation public oploton is not fairly represented. Our object now is to 'hew, that even if the representation were in- creased and equalized, public opinion would still be unheard through the medium of the franchise es at preeentexercised. In order that there may be no muuodegstending about our views, we begin by saying, that we give a decided segalire to the principle of universal suffrage. We cannot go to the length of advocating an unlimited franchise, and we will slate *variaeons.- In the first place we meiataie that until moral worth acd int•!betual improvement are more w;dely disseminated, it would be unwise to mato the experiment. Upon this depends the permanency of the Ameri- can Union, where universel suffrage is the order of the day. If the 'A,atertffcn people have attained that degree of moral worth and intell:geuee which are nece.ary to the welt-bei.g.asd working of republic, their fbaritotios• will be permament: whether or tot this be the case. time will tell. With respect to Canada, we are decidedly of opinion that s.cb is nut the case. Let the event3 of the put year teettfy to the truth of -the assertion, tout there is • aad lack of moral worth.

Perhaps thyro is no department of civil economy which pre.entr so many !.;,Itis of grace philosophic inquiry, as that whish treats of the prevention sod punishment of crime, and the reformation of the cnwioal.
