In the House of Representatives, Mr Prince, of Illinois, speaking on the Tariff Bill, said that the pouring of Americans into the Canadian NorthWest, and the attitude of the Democratic Party, followed by the efforts of the Freetraders, had only one aim. and that was the annexation of Canada. Canadians, he said, ought to undeceive themselves. What Uncle Sam wanted he usually obtained. History showed this. Other speakers in the debate made no reference to the speech of Mr Prince. | THE RECIPROCITY BILL. j OBSTRUCTED BYCANADIAN CONj SERVATIVES. j (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) | OTTAWA, April 29.
