We read in ancient history, that Unto once produced before the Roman Senate a bunch of fresh tigs, taken from a tree in Carthage only four days before ; ami l shall see the time when ti\"» R »se of England, blending the colora of York anil Lancaster and plucked from the garden of Windsor, shall be twined fre>hl> in America with tho beautiful prairie flower \" the Queen of the West\u201d and, bound together wuh the Lilies of Canada, shall comjKise a fragrant wrenth, wherewith to crown the Statue of Concord in the Temple of Peace !

But not only will tlm world b* benefitted by the productions of these fertile districts being widely distributed but by freedom of intercourse asperities and mianuderetandings between graat nations will I** softened and removed, sml nt all events, n fitm and lasting friendship will bn produced between two great nati' speaking the «amo Isngit-nge, ami advocating tho sa.n 1 principles of civil and religions tibeily ; pioud nn I tint the bones of my ancestor* lie buried within the shadow cf the Cathedral of Kxelcf ; and there is not nnn wont.y descendant of the heroes cf Rnnnymede, wherever ho may dwell, that Ido nut look upon as a brother.(Prolonged cheers.)
