Document Information Date: 1864-08-08 By: The Globe Citation: “The Proper Balance”, The Globe [Toronto] (6 August 1864). Other formats: “THE PROPER BALANCE.” — In the Peterborough Review, a Conservative journal, we find the following comment upon the appearance of candidates of Liberal antecedents in the constituencies of Peterborough and Niagara:— “The lesson is one which should not be forgotten. It is a practical illustration of the sincerity of the Reformers when they say that the combination is only temporary; and although believing, as we pointed out last week, that parties… Read more “The Proper Balanace” The Globe (8 August 1864) →
Document Information Date: 1864-08-08 By: The Globe Citation: “Federation in History,” The Globe [Toronto] (8 August 1864). Other formats: FEDERATION IN HISTORY A Montreal contemporary has an article to show that there have been unsuccessful federations in the world—a point which we grant most readily. There is, we may note, no evidence offered, and indeed none alleged to exist, that the political disasters which befell the countries that are quoted, were due to the fact that they had federal rather than consolidated and centralised governments. In reply, we have to… Read more “Federation in History,” The Globe (8 August 1864) →

A long train left Montreal last night en route for St. John, via this pretty seaport of our Maine. There were on board about fifty legislators and others bound upon the excursion, which gives promise now of success. The crops as we came along the stiff clay lands seemed in places very poor; the ground appeared… Read more “The Parliamentary Excursion to the Maritime Provinces,” Montreal Gazette (6 August 1864) →
Document Information Date: 1864-08-06 By: The Globe Citation: “The English Press on Federation”, The Globe [Toronto] (6 August 1864). Other formats: THE ENGLISH PRESS ON FEDERATION We give this morning some further extracts from the comments of the English press, upon recent political changes in this Province. We do not find in them that exactitude as to matters of fact for which we could wish.
