a mass of unemployed American soldiers, when those soldiers should
come to be disbanded. When this war shall be over--a war during which
not much, if any, under a million of American citizens will have been
under arms--it will not be easy for all who survive to return to
their old homes and old occupations. Nor does a disbanded soldier
always make a good husbandman, notwithstanding the great examples of
Cincinnatus and Bird-o'-freedom Sawin. It may be that a considerable
amount of filibustering energy will be afloat, and that the then
Government of those who neighbour us in Canada will have other
matters in hand more important to them than the controlling of these
unruly spirits. That, as I take it, was the evil against which we of
Great Britain and of Canada desired to guard ourselves.

But I doubt whether 2,000 or 10,000 British soldiers would be any
effective guard against such inroads, and I doubt more strongly
whether any such external guarding will be necessary. If the
Canadians were prepared to fraternize with filibusters from the
States, neither three nor ten thousand soldiers would avail against
such a feeling over a frontier stretching from the State of Maine to
the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Erie. If such a feeling did exist,
if the Canadians wished the change, in God's name let them go. It is
for their sakes and not for our own that we would have them bound to
us. But the Canadians are averse to such a change with a degree of
feeling that amounts to national intensity. Their sympathies are with
the Southern States, not because they care for cotton, not because
they are anti-abolitionists, not because they admire the hearty
pluck of those who are endeavouring to work out for themselves a new
revolution. They sympathize with the South from strong dislike to the
aggression, the braggadocio, and the insolence they have felt upon
their own borders. They dislike Mr. Seward's weak and vulgar joke
with the Duke of Newcastle. They dislike Mr. Everett's flattering
hints to his countrymen as to the one nation that is to occupy the
whole continent. They dislike the Monroe doctrine. They wonder at the
meekness with which England
provinces against the filibustering energies of 
 a mass of unemployed American soldier, when those soldier should 
 come to be disbanded. When this war shall be over -- a war during which 
 not much, if any, under a million of American citizens will have been 
 under coat of arms -- it will not be easy for all who survive to come back to 
 their old homes and erstwhile occupations. Nor does a disbanded soldier 
 always take a good farmer, notwithstanding the great examples of 
 Cincinnatus and Bird - o'-freedom Sawin. It may be that a considerable 
 amount of filibustering energy will be afloat, and that the then 
 Government of those who neighbour us in Canada will suffer other 
 matters in hand more authoritative to them than the controlling of these

 if the Canadians wished the change, in God's name let them go. It is 
 for their sakes and not for our own that we would have them bound to 
 us. But the Canadians are averse to such a change with a degree of 
 feel that amounts to national saturation. Their sympathy are with 
 the Southern States, not because they care for cotton, not because 
 they are anti - abolitionists, not because they admire the hearty 
 pluck of those who are endeavor to work out for themselves a newfangled 
 revolution. They sympathize with the South from firm dislike to the 
 aggression, the braggadocio, and the insolence they have felt upon 
 their own borders. They dislike Mr. Seward's weak and common joke 
 with the Duke of Newcastle. They dislike Mr. Everett's flattering 
 hints to his countrymen as to the one nation that is to concern the 
 unharmed continent. They dislike the Monroe doctrine. They wonder at the
