To us it would appear, that, laying aside all differences of politics, race and religion, the time is now ripe for a still closer amalgamation of the people of Acadia, this land of our fathers, into one great Province, and thus might we be enabled to hold an equal place with the larger Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, in the eyes of our fellow-countrymen, and of the world at large.
It shall be our constant effort, though perhaps in a very humble degree, to endeavor, by the interchange of thoughts and ideas, by the study of the past, and taking thought for the future, to pave the way for such a movement. This, too, may be but a dream, but, like the dream of some of our forefathers, that "ships may come here from England yet," it may, some day, we trust, prove to be a reality.
