I have seen and heard much of the methods of France in the south--her ambition, her presumption, her weakness.

Here in the north she has a firmer grip, and Canada is her stronghold.

But if once we can shake her power there, all will be gone.

They say that Pitt knows this, and that his eyes are upon the Western world.
France has her hands full at home.

A great war is raging in Europe.
A few well-planted blows, ably directed from beyond the sea by England herself, might do untold harm to her western provinces.
