BO('Rr1SSA'S . LECTURE. —The second of the series of lectures under the -auspices of the Collegiate' Institute, was given on Thursday evening of last week, in. Cardno'e hall, by Mr. J. H. N. Bourasea,M. P. for Labelle, Quebec, on the subject, " The race problem in Canada." Mr. Botirassa has at- tained considerable notoriety on .account of the position he took respecting the sending of the Canadian contingent to South Africa. But, however much people may differ from him on this subject, none who,lieten to him on the platform can deny his ability as a leoturer or his loyalty te his country. He is a most entertaining and clever lecturer, while as a gentleman he is genial, affable and soon makes friends, He is quite a young map, but has unqukeetioned ability and bas given considerable study to political and social subjects: His lecture was an eloquent plea for a closer friogdship betiveon the dif- ferent nationalities who make up the popu- lation of this country, and more particular- ly between the French-Canadians and the English speaking people. He dwelt upon the many virtues of his . countrymen and traced the origin of the French-Canadiane back to the. time when they were akin to the Norman ancestors of the British people. Ho also asked for a closer aeggaintance be- tween the people of Quebec and those of the other provinces of the Dominion, and - he was sure that this acquaintance would en- sure friendship and reepect and all that gees to make a united people of one nation. He also assured his audience of the intensi- ty of the loyalty of the French Canadians to THE eve -of departure from France to Canada that they are " going home." • Aod. while he ad • Imitted that.he did not anticipate a fusion of 1 bhe races, on account of natural diseimilari . i ties, he did hope for closer and more friend • ly relations such as should prevail amon loyal people of one nation and who arc !unitedly engaged in alien building. Th flecture was an exoee • ingly interesting one and was listened to - ith pleasure . and, w ;have no doubt, profit by a large audience IThere was ono point, however,, on whic 'Mr. Bourasea did not touch, and that wa the official use t the wo languages. Thi 'ire and must co tines to be, in our opinion the great lever of cle' vage between the tw :peoples; and•w ich keeps the- French Can adians of Que•eo a distinct people fro those of the' r st of Canada.
