LORD DUFFERIN had now been in Canada about eight months.

He had fully developed the social system he had proposed for himself.

More than usual prominence has been given to the festivities attend- ing his movements, because under these lay a policy far more impor- tant in a political point of view than would, at the first blush, appear.

It will have been observed that in all his replies to addresses he takes care to emphasize the fact that he appears as the representative of Her Majesty, and he had evidently determined to bind the people to her, through himself, by exhibiting an honest and warm interest in their institutions, their welfare, and their happiness, by a respectful consideration for their manners, their habits, their creeds and their language.
