He is for “ universal suffrage and universal

stating a doctrine that is as comprehensive
as it is vital.
On our first page, this morning, will be
found the sentiments of another influential
Northern journalist, tho editor of the New

Greeley’s views and gives his own. Mr.

ALLEN TALKS OUT IN MEETING—REMARK
ABLE DISCOURSE.
Toronto. Nov. 26.
I’ev. J. A. Allen preached Inst eve.iin" in
the Episcopal Cathedral, to a laige and ftish-
iotlnlilo audit-nee in favor of annexation to
the United states. The reverend gentleman
in liis opening address, remarked: ‘-lam
aware thnt what I am about to advocate is
ac the present moment distasteful to a small
portion ot the inhabitants of Canada, and
there may be a tew ignorant persons present
who limy accuse me of disloyalty to England.

the interest of Canada, but in an especial dc-

mfde theat-eca! order forThurzday „c*t, p suy that the greater portion of the In
habitants of Canada are in favor of annexa
tion to the United States. Every question,
whether from the pulpit or the rostrum,
should be calmly discussed, for truth is sure
to be elicited in a collision of honest thoughts.
-The Thunderer of England informs us that
we arc a drag on England; that the mother
country lias to supply us with men, money
and ships, aud erect forts for our defense, and
that we are the only weak point in the Brit
ish empire: but if annexed to the United
States, we should be a source of strength.—
Our members of Congress could speak, in the
halls of Wash'ngtou, of the gentle rule of
England, and we could teach the Americans
that England was their friend, and educate a
better spirit among her people, which would
end in a full reconciliation and lasting good
will.
“England and America are strong in unity.
No great wrong could be perpetrated in the
world against their will. Has not the public
press of England, tho organ of the national
mind, told us again and again, you are a peo
ple thousands of miles remote from us, and
who can form a juster opinion of what is for
your interest than we who are so far distant t

opinion in England, why should it be styled
treason in Canada by those at the head of our
Government?;’. -1
The learned divine continued at great
length in explaining the sentiments of the
Canadians toward the United States during
the rebellion, and said that it wastheduty of
Canada to bo annexed to the United States,
: * order that by their votes they could save
to the South all her former rights' under the
old Union, and of rteonciling the North and
South.
It is said that the press and people of. the
United States have pided and encouraged the
Fenians in their raids on Canada, which
lias tended, and justly, to exasperate the
feelings of Canadians and to make them
endure even war and invasion rather than

- 1 ROADS AND BRIDGES.
While we are gratified to note a marked Improve
ment of thc roads in some portions of the county,
In other parts there is the same carelessness, and
Inditlcrcuc-e which has heretofore been so frequent
ly censured by our predecessors. The rend lead
ing to Perry and the toll bridges Rt‘‘Tokcsoffkee”
arc by no means in 6Uch repair as should be strict
ly required on so important a thoroughfare. The
bridge at Bailey’s Mill, and the one over Tobesotl-
kce, known as “Wilder’s” bridge, are reported in
bad order, and thc upper Clinton road is yet
standing monument of the county’s disgrace, pre
senting a long line of troughed lanes, jagged and
gullied hills, utterly dUlicartcpIng to the weary
traveler, aud Impassable tv the farmer, who would
haul bis produce tb the Macon market In exchange
for needful supplies.
We deem it unnecessary, to our community, to
offer any lengthened argument in favor of good
roads aad bridges: they are not only badges of
civilization and evidences to all men of tho cul
ture and refinement of the people who inhabit the
country through which they pass, but they are
public necessities to which not only tbe rich man
with his costly carriage is entitled, but tho shiver
ing boy who supplies you with wood for comfor
table fires; the cotton planters’ wagon, the old lady
with her irult cart, and thc indusbions gardner,
front whose well tilled soil your table* aro supplied,
participate alike in these benefits. In view, thcB,
ot a failure of the old rosd-work'.ng system to fur
nish us with such highways a* the wants ot the
country require, aud an enlightened public senti
ment increasingly demand, we recommend that
tbe Inferior Coart let out the repairing and keep
ing in order tlie several public roads of the ceunty
to the lowest responsible bidder, the exp«nscs of
which to bo defrayed by a capitation fax and paid
quarterly; said roads to be inspected and approv
ed by coutiniieioners, and the ppymtpt of said tax
by employees, to be secured by a notice from th
Ux collector to employer*, which shuil operate a.
d-garnishment, as iu the present method of collect
ing State tsk. And wo request our Senator* aud
Representative* in the Stutn Legislature to nse
tlieir earned effects to secure any needful legisla
tion for the accoraplishment of this purpose.’'
“ also report that tlie books ot the ditiercut
who have lived on tho other sido of thc
l'ne inform me that greater or more uniform
kindness they never experienced than from
those Yankees whom, owing to thc bad spec
imens imported to this side, wc dislike. We
find them not only attentive to their own in
terests, but intelligent, industrious, and well
informed gentlemen, liberal of their money,
enterprising, trustful, and charitably dis
posed to tli6' poor in their expenditure for
pnbliq and patriotic objects—princely jn
their :'deas. and munificent in the extreme.

little incident occurred during the recent
visit of John Morrissey to Washington that
is worth relating. As this gentk-innu was
standing in the door of Willard's he was ap
proached and saluted'by tlie notorious Beau
Hickman:
“The Honorable Mr. Morrissey, member of
Congress from New York, I believe.’’ “The
same, at your fcrncf, sir,” goodn itnredly re
plied Morrksi-y. “I sin Beau Hickman, Mr.
Morrissey,,1 am glad to see you.” “Ah, Mr.
Hick anas, giving him hi* lmnd, “what can I
do for you ?” An introduction fee of one
dollar from you, if you p!e.i*e, Mr. Morrissey.”
Tho tax_ was cheerfully paid, and the two
celebrities conversed tor some moments upon
the state ol the country, thc policy of tlie
President and Congres*. Bran sdbseqtfem-
