TORONTO, C. \Y., Aug. 21, IBt>3.
Mu. EDITOR :
As military topics and discussions pre
vail in the United States, a brief description of
the British troops in Toronto may interest sonic
of the patrons of the Gazette.
This bright summer morning, the citizens of
I Toronto httve been regaled by a parade of Her
lUnjestv'K Hflt.li Rej-iuieiit, of In Jim try u Hnttijry.
and a compnny of Cavalry. The fiOtli is, witli
i out doubt, a veritable Royal Regiment, as its
j manner and appearance bear testimony: solid,
I proud in its movement, and brilliant in its equip
! incut and uniform. The officers and privates
: are clothed in the same gaudy, scarlet tunics,
that the British invaders ol the American na
tion shone in, and that have been so faithfully
and minutely depicted by the ancestors ol the
present generation. The majority of the men
of this regiment are young, robust and active,
since their number was much decimated in the
Crimean war. But many countenances appear
in the ranks, weather-beaten and bearing a Spar- j
tan cast, impressed by many a severe campaign. |
The parade this morning was the most resplen
dent I have ever witnessed. Highly polished
buckles and plat es sparkled, bristling bayonets
blazed, crimson ensigns waved in the morning
air; scarlet tunics glowed in the sunlight, and
a military halo was imparted to the whole, by
the stirring strains of the Band of the 30th.
A company of cavalry lead the van. This
body made a line display; the uien appeared to
be young and vigorous, and wei'O uniformed in
neat blue jackets trimmed with white. The
horses they rode, like the men, were young and
strong, in good condition, well bridled and sad
dled. This bod)' was followed by tbe artillery.
Impartiality compels me to say, that the ap
pearance of the artillery was in the highest de
gree creditable and admirable. All connected
with this body was solid and stauicli ; harness,
chains, carriages, horses, riders and gunners,
everything was bright, clear, and in proper or
der; not a fault or defect could he discovered.
The very countenances and bearing of the sol
diers indicated the consciousness ot having la
bored, and as a result were entitled and enabled Dr a time, was the exalted eminence of the
to present a defiant and orderly appearance. — imeriean army. A debasing element has been

"Bushwhackers, with their grey uniforms, could jtrate the honest desires and convictions of the
harass and destroy such un attired regiment, Canadians, and liavo failed to hear a citizen
among the mountains of Tennessee," struck mo jipcak in favor of uniting their nation with the '
as having much force. The scarlet could bo
seen nt a great distance, whilst the grey could
scarcely bo distinguished a few hundred yards.
Hut many a charge of the 30th, with llio bay
onet, on the open plain, has met with success;
and here it is that the blood colored uniform
serves and sometimes strikes terror. The clean
liness and neatness of the men are surprising,
and tell vastly in their favor. I have not seen
a soldier with soiled and carelessly donned uni
form. In this respect they are scrupulously
neat; this condition has been produced by se
vere discipline.
The notorious vanity of the nation, vividly
discovers itself in the soldiers, as the following
description of a parade "off duty" will evince;
An undress turban is gayly placed upon the ex
treme side of the head, which is always sleeked
to a shine; the tunic is a bright scarlet, faced
with yellow, the belts encircling the waist and
shoulders, are broad and as white as the costli
est linen, the breeches are blue and striped with
ml, the boots are always polished, and then the
stride! This is the gay exterior of the Royal
j soldiers, yet I must say theirdeportment on the
street is unobjectionable; they arc not intrusive
and insulting. The /Au&wgive us reports, now
and then, of encounters betweon the soldiers and
rowdies, and of the ill-treatment of the former.
There does not appear to be any congeniality
between these two classes. The cavalry, artil
lery, and riflemen arc differently uniformed, the
former wenr blue, the last green. Their dress
is very brilliant, yet it approaches nearer good
taste than that of the 30th. Hut, notwithstand
ing the gaudy exterior of the British soldiery,
they lack the expression of iutelligcnce that
beitnis on the countenances of many in the ranks
of the American armies It is suiil that the En
glish soldiers are machines, and truly they are,
in their movements as a body. Of this I was
convinced at a review made by Major General
Napier, which I witnessed. The face of every
man is precise and measured, the wheel of the
platoons and the whole body is true and exact,
and the commands are obeyed with alacrity.
All appear to be on the alert, all is formality
and order. The discipline of the British army
is unquestionable. It is evident that no labor
and pains are spared. The expenditure to ren
der the army efficient and powerful, is lavish,
The army is the great pillar that supports n
monarchy: and the exterior and discipline o
juecn Victoria's soldiers prove tliat her goveru
nent deeuis it such. Major General Napier,
he commanding officer in Canada, is a good
•eprescntativc of the old British officers. His
rame is stout, large and erect, his lace is full
ind florid, with all the liautcur of the proudest
>f Naoicrs stamped Upon it. There is noth
ng very striking m his appear oiiu. y , i.o, t,rnr
ng is that of an officer. The organization of
ho 30th was in existence beforo the American
devolution and still oxists. lake a Corporation,
t never dies. As the work of decay progresses,
i restoring process is active. This regiment,
tnder the stern Wellington, grappled with the
veterans of Napoleon, in the sanguinary strug
de at Waterloo; it bore a conspicuous part in
he Crimean War; fought under a burning sou
in ''lndia's coral strand," and is now in the cold
North, prepared to meet any invading foe of
Canada. No regiment of the line, as far as I
oan learn, holds a more exalted position in the
estimation of the government than the 33th.—
The men are not as large in stature as those
composing most of the other regiments, but they
jre broad and staunch and of the very size to
ight. When reviowing the regiment as it march
id by, the descriptions given by our sires of their
irimson tunics and haughty demeanor, fierce
(barges and persistent struggles to subdue them,
vere vividly re-produced by my imagination.—
'The blazing glare and proud onset could not
dutzle and intimidate men contending for the
.■acred prindiples of honor, justice and liberty.
i have scrutinized closely most of the British
fcgimentsin Canada, and- have failed to see a

o such degradation. Neither have I seen any

United States, and thus participate jn her "glo
rious destiny." They cling with fondness to the
apron strings of the old mother, tlicy cherish
everything English, as thoy regard her as the
proud and majestic mistress of the world; and
I do not believe fiho could drive them to main
tain themselves and their independence. Many
consider a Republican Government but little
higher than a state of anarchy. They point out
the United States Government as a great Re
publican bubble which has already exploded.
With those with whom I have talked, I have
striven to draw a distinction between the pres
ent Federal Administration and our original Re
publican form of Government. 'The great prin
ciples of Republican Government exist notwith
standing the usurpation of ungrateful rulers.—
"It bekoovcth us to consider," saysLonl Brough
am, "how easily arbitrary power can be exer
cised, and the rights of the people best secured
by law be trampled irpon, whilst the great prin
ciples of Republican Government still exist."
The Canadians attribute the calamities now sus
pended over the United States, to our form of
government, when it is apparent to unprejudiced
and thinking men, that the sole cause of them
'is najro fanaticism. I like a volcano in active
1 operation for years, it suddenly burst forth, al
most overwhelming the nation and destroying
all division lines. Thut venerable Fortress of
.the Constitution, the Supreme Court of the U
niied States, was reducei 1, and as a consequence,
the old Constitution has been violated. This
first act of violeuee changed the Government.
But the enactment and enforcement of subse
quent acts as unwarranted and arbitrary as the
extremes! of Caligula, liave produced its entire
transformation. The system now adopted, re
sembles moro the Star Chamber of the dark
days of England than any other government.
So that since the existence of this war, the gov
ernmental fabric inlioritcd from our illustrious
fathers, has not been supported. For if the
great pillars, moderation, compromise, concili
ation and liberty had been sustained, grievances
would have been alleviated, measures of a con
stitutional nature adopted, and the horrors of
war averted.
The stability and freedom of monarehieal and
republican governments are much discussed j
many think Jlint a government similar to the
British must necessarily be adopted for the res
toration and progress of tl>e American nation.
How contracted are their views! How humili
ating! How the heart of every true lover of his
country is distressed, when he contemplates the
fallen condition of his country, produced by the
folly and infatuation of the men in power.—
May the nation come forth from the liery fur
nace into which it has been cast, purified and
i>urged of fanatics, usurpers, and unjust and
unconstitutional laws. But let us not fear, for
Nemesis will yet wreak a merited vengeance
upon an abandoned administration, which have
proved themselves derelict to their duty to the
Constitution, their countrymen and their Ood.

A Double Divorce.
[From the Bucyrua (Ohio) Journal.]
In one of tlio townships in this county, a
little north of Bucyrus, dwelt a well-to-do
widower about fifty, with au only son of twen
ty-two or three. Mr. , (wo withhold the
name for obvious reasons,j had been a widower
for many years, and became weary of that
mode ol living; lie accordingly determined tc
marry again. The determination once formed
the next thing was to find the woman necessary,
which in this country is not at all difficult.
Fortunately for him a widow lady resided near
him, wlio had a daughter possessing all the re
quirements. Sho was a beautiful girl of twen
ty years, accomplished and sprightly —-just the
one lie wanted. To be sure, she was rather
young, but Mr. —■ — was young looking also.
Sometimes his mind would wander to the mother
who was quite as handsome as the daughter, and
almost as young in appearence, but lie had made
up his minil to marry the daughter, and he set a
bout it with a will. He did not mention his de
termination to hi? son, fearing the idea of mar
rying one so much younger than himself might
expose him to his ridicule.
In t he meantime his son had become dosperatcly
enamored of the widow, and had likewise de
termined upon marrying her. lie did not com
municate the fact to his father for the same rea
son that actuated the old gentleman, for fear of
exciting ridicule by marrying a woman so much
older than himself. They both commenced cull
ing at the house of the widow, and frequently
met each other there. This circumstance un
noyed them both immensely. The old gentle
man thought very naturally, that the young limn
was tliere for the young lady, and the young
gentleman as naturally supposed the old one
was there for the widow.
As the matter progressed, the meeting of the
father and son at that place became frequent,
and the more often if occurred, the more intol
erable it became. Finally, Mr. determin
ed to speak to his son on tlio subject.
"Charles," said lie, "I have determined, after
much consideration to marry, and thought it
but right and proper to make you acquainted
with the determination."
"Very good," replied Charles, "I consider it
very proper that you should do so. And speak
ing ol marrying, I liavo concluded to marry
myself."
"I anprovc of the idea," returned the old
gentleman ; "you are of suitable ;ge to settlo
down. May I ask the name of your intended?"
"Mrs. ," exclaimed Charles, bracing up
and assuming a defiant look.
"Whew," whistled the old gentleman, "fine
woman, Charles, but isn't she a trifle too ad
vanced in years?"
"I think not, "said Charles, "but who have
you decided upon 1"

stance, but I had determined to marry her
daughter."
"Daughter?" exclaimed Charles; "why you
are at least twice as old as she is, I don't ob
ject."
The matter was thus happily settled, and in
the course of a few weeks it was satisfactorily
arranged with the widow and daughter, and
the parties were married.
Very soon after the marriage was consum
mated, they all discovered that they had made
a grand mistake. The son found that the wid
ow was altogether too motherly for the wife
of a young man of twenty-three, and. the old
gentleman found that a young lady of 1 twenty
was too volatile lor a sober-minded man of fif
ty. Disagreements followed, then neglect, and
finally the thousand little quarrels and snub
bings, and bickerings, simpering down into a
grand fight, which was kept up with slight vari
iations for three montlis.
Finally they agreed permanently to disagree,
and availing themselves of the ease with which
divorces are obtained in Indiana, the whole four
removed to Indiana, where, in duo time, the
divorces were obtained.
The four came home as they went, together,
the son taking the daughter under his special
charge, and the father doing the agreeable to"
the widow. Long before tliey had arrived at Bu
cyrus, they had arranged matters on an entirely
different basis—the father and the widow made
up a match, and the son and daughter ditto.
The re-marrying was performed immediately
on their arrival at BuCyr'us. Up to date they
ail appeared well satisfied with each other, and
jt is to be hoped that they will long coptinue so.
A Most Infamous Conspiracy Consum
mated.
The contest between Democracy and Abo
litionism has terminated, and, according to
the footing up of the flgtircs, Curtin is de
clared elected Governor of our good oM
Commonwealth by some 10,000 majority?
The election, as it was conducted, was the
most outrageous farca and fraud that ever
was perpetrated in this or any other State,
and it is hard indeed to submit to a result
effected by the corrupt doings of the politi
cal gamblers we had to eontend with.
Three weeks previous to the day of elec
tion, the popular tide was overwhelming for
Judge Woodward, and his friends would
not have compromised with the Abolitionists
under forty or fifty thousand majority. Our
opponents knew and felt this—they felt sat
isfied that the people of Pennsylvania were
against them and their shoddy candidate.
Then it was that a grand system of fraud
and villainy was concocted at Washington,
to defeat and defraud the honest voters of
Pennsylvania; then it was that Curtin, with
the assistance of the desperate men of the
Lincoln cabinet, rosolvod upon a plan such
as none but political freebooters would have
thought of. They resolved to Hood the State
with "green-backs," and buy up the venal
and corrupt in every county; in addition to
this they purchased the support of all the
so-called "neutral" papers of the State; they
also sent home scores of Abolition officers
of the army, to harangue the people from
the stump, at the public expense; ministers
of the gospel were enlisted to preach treason
from the pulpit, and gamblers to make bets
over the faro-table. All these infernal
schemes, corruption and villainy could and
would have been resisted and overcome by
the solid yeomanry of the State, who were
proof against the money of the shoddyitcs.
and who stood like a wall of brass against
the united and harmonious appeals of "neu
tral" journals, shameless preachers, and
gamblers. Curtin and his friends stood a
ghast and confounded when they discovered
t hat all their combined villainies failed to
move or shake a majority of the people.
Some proselytes they had made that they
could count on, but not sufficient by many
thousands to accomplish their dark plans.
The voice of the people, from the hills and
the valleys, was still in a loud majority for
the incorruptible Woodward.
It was at this point in the campaign (some
three weeks before the election,) that it was
determined by Curtin and the reckless men.
who acted with him, to defeat the will of a
majority of the people of Pennsylvania at
all hazards, by another desperate adventure.
To do this they proposed to giant furloughs
to some 20,000 Pennsylvania soldiers, and
send them home, on condition that they
promised to vote for Curtin. No soldier
could receive a furlough who did not pledge
his vote and his influence to Curtin. Most
of the troops selected for furloughs, however,
were political Abolitionists, whose senti
ments were well known to their officers.
Soon every county swarmed with soldier
voters, and by their votes Gov. Curtin has
been again foisted upon the unwilling peo
ple of Pennsylvania. The Democratic sol
diers —the friends of Woodward-—were
not permitted to return home to vote —none
but those who were pledged to Curtin.could
enjoy this privilege. It is hard, therefore,
we repeat, to submit to a defeat brought
about by such villainous agencies. Had
It not been for these political troops, Judgo
Woodward would have been in the majori
ty some 12,000 or 20,000, and the Legis
lature would have been ours. None but
remorseless and thieving Abolitionists could
have suggested a plan like this for carrying
an election.— Carlisle Volunteer.
