of the Dominion of Canada. His speech, which showed a finely tempered spirit throughout, will, we trust, be read throughout the nation and the Empire. Unfortunately our space will only permit us to find room for the sentences with which the speech ended:—

We are supremely confident that that cause will assuredly triumph, and for that great purpose we are inspired with an inflexible determination to do our part."
