Signs of a Spirit of Liberty in Canada.

From the following article in the Montreal Gazette, it would seem that the Canadians contemplate the probability of following the example of the people of the United States, in separating themselves from the mother country. The late events in Europe have fired the world.

'A change has taken place in the Representatives of his Majesty, and a new Legislature
has been convoked to transact the business of the country. It is most sincerely to be hoped, that
by their united exertions an end may be put to
all party differences, and that an adjustment of
all points of dispute may be obtained to the satisfaction of all parties. The province is rapidly advancing in wealth, her commerce is extending and her population increasing. With a good
soil and a healthy climate; with great capabilities and valuable internal resources, her future destiny is easily seen, and the fostering hand of an enlightened Legislature will tend much to advance the period, when she will enter into comparison with the older countries of Europe, and take her place among the nations of the world.'
