213 - L. May 28; ed: 1/1,2 - Wallandigham occupies a suite of rooms at the
Hirons House in Windsor, Canada. His sitting-room windows face the
river, giving him a view of the water front of Detroit. He sits with
field glasses in his hand, watching all who cross on the ferry. All who
see him must have satisfactory introductions. About every three weeks
he makes a trip into the interior. Strange to say, no one crosses the
river to see him during his absence, but immediately upon his return his
room is full of guests. They are deserters from the Rebel army, Rebel
agents, spies and riff-raff of outlaws made up of Morgan's men.
"It may be observed, however, that if the accumulation of dirt is any
criterion of the exact locality of the (aegis), Windsor must certainly
be the place." - (17)

680 - L. Oct. 11; ed: 2/1, 2 - It is a true saying that a man is known by
the company he keeps, and whatever he may say to the contrary, his
strongest affiliations, sympathies, tastes, lie in the direction of his
daily associates.
So it is with McClellan. Efforts may be made to redeem his character,
but so long as he associates with questionable company, so long is he
himself to be suspected. Men like Belmont, agent in this country for
Rothschilds, and Wallandigham, an outlawed traitor, are McClellan's
companions. Deserters and Rebel refugees in Canada are anxious for
his election. -
Can any man doubt, knowing what principles he has, and who his as-
sociates are, that he is unfit for the grave and responsible duties of
President of the United States? "Being in such poor company he will be
beaten as was his prototype, poor dog Tray." - (21)

941 - L. Nov. 5; ed:2/1 - It is becoming more evident that the followers
and sympathizing friends of Jeff Davis now in Canada are at work along
the northern frontier and are trying to bring about a state of border war-
fare between the United States and Canada. "These border raids may just-
ly be regarded as among the symptoms of those desperate paroxysms which
precede the utter dissolution of organized rebellion. We trust the Gov-
ernment will deal with them as it deals with rebellion in the South.
This is not a time for a hesitating or doubting policy." (15)

943 - L Dec. 16; ed: 2/1 - The reported sensation in Canada over the re-
lease of the St. Albans raiders is an excellent example of diplomacy.
"We predict that the judge who rendered the decision will be retained
in office and the raiders will never be recaptured. Meanwhile the de-
nunciation in Canada of this act tho' insincere, shows that its out-
rageous character is appreciated even there." (3)

945 - L Dec. 21; ed:2/1 - The release of the St. Albans raiders by the
Canadian authorities has caused great excitement in Canada and the
United States. The order of General Dix, authorizing military officers
to pursue and capture the raiders, was applauded by the press in most
cases. "These facts are evidence beyond all doubt that Canada has
learned to respect the Republic, and to tremble in anticipation of its
righteous vengeance." - (8)

946 - H Dec. 27; ed: 2/2 - Our Canadian neighbors are shielding and
honoring Confederates who have fled from the South.
"We trust our government is wide awake to the wrongs we have suffer-
ed from Canada. There is no more excuse for our Canadian neighbors
than an individual who... secretes a criminal...." Canada, in this, plays
the fool as well as the knave... for she ought to know that once the
riot of war enters in her territory, she falls from the parent tree
like mellow fruit.... "Nations cannot let each other alone, for the
acts of individuals grow into national offenses. We hope, however,
that Canada is opening her eyes to the situation; and is coming to be of
better mind." (17)

955 - L. May 5; ed: 2/1 - "Since the death of Napoleon the elder, there -
has been no man on the continent of Europe better versed in the mysteries
of statecraft or more cunning by nature than the present Napoleon. -- .
"During the sixteen years he has ruled over the French nation, he has
had a definite line of policy which he has pursued with a constancy and
purpose that prove him possessed of the first qualities of genius....
His foreign policy has always had reference to strengthening the papacy
and enlarging the area of French Colonial power.... Ever since Canada
was lost to the French, it has been an object with that ambitious people
to establish a colony upon this Western continent. The rebellion offer-
ed an opportunity to carry out this dream of French conquest. Mexico
was consequently invaded, and now having been partially conquered,
Maximilian... has been transformed into Emperor Max the First.
"The question now is, what shall be the attitude of the Federal
Government toward the new Empire? There is no mistaking the issue. We
must either maintain the Monroe doctrine or back down from it until the
rebellion is over, when a hundred thousand restless soldiers of the Re-
public will take possession of Mexico, in behalf of the United States
of America.
"We are not surprised at the manner in which the organs of the
English aristocracy acquiesce in the ambitious plans of Napoleon. The
London TIMES of April 12th declares that the apology offered by the
Emperor Napoleon for invading and occupying Mexico is sufficient....
The TIMES seems especially gratified with the idea that the progress
of the Anglo-Saxon race upon this continent has been greatly impeded
by this occupation of Mexico.
"These schemes of the Emperor are no doubt aggravating, but we must
bide our time and subordinate all side issues to the suppression of the
rebellion." (12)

climate, food, and travel will undoubtedly be fatal to many; and, though
sailing under a neutral flag, these animals may be overhauled as contra-
band property,

to Canada from the United States are to be enrolled in new regiments, and
the order requiring them to become enrollied is causing consternation
among the sneaks and cowards. "It is a sorry road to travel when a man,
by slinking off to a foreign country, seeks to escape duties which every
man owes to his 'Fatherland.'" -
