1097. CANADA, Conquest of.—[further continued] .
I know your feelings on
the present state of the world, and hope they
will be cheered by the successful course of
our war, and the addition of Canada to our
confederacy. The infamous intrigues of Great
Britain to destroy our government (of which
Henry's is but one sample), and with the Indians
to tomahawk our women and children,
prove that the cession of Canada, their fulcrum
for these Machiavelian levers, must be
a sine qua non at a treaty of peace.—
