{To the Editor.)

Sir,—Many of tho remarks at this meeting were intrinsically excellent, but in spite of bhis circumstance there'was a great lack of unanimity of opinion. It was the expan sion of the long red line in lieu of the vic torious phalanx, Ono speaker alluded to bhis " boating of the air," and assured us thab the bindermost ranks were pushing on bho fronb, and those in bhe front said, ".We know what you say is true, but we cannot help ourselves." If this is so, nover was there a more deplorable picture of imbecil ity in the rear, vacillation and infirmity in the van, the blind charged by the blind with the inevitable ditch as destination.
Public opinion rises, surges and flows. How all-importanb its billows should be guided into safe and prudent courses ! If nob, the imminenbmaelstrom will assuredly engulf us.
