A NOVELIST'S APPEAL FOR THE CANADAS.

Among the new English novels is one entitled _Ellen Clayton, or the
Nomades of the West_, by Douglass Huyghue. The author seems to feel for
the red men the same regard which the adventurous artist and traveller
Catlin has expressed in England, and his work comes in aid of those
appeals which Catlin has so often made on their behalf. Such a motive
entitles the author to respect, and gives an additional value to the
book; while the talent with which it is written, renders it a narrative
of unusual interest. In nothing but its _theme_ is it like to any of
Cooper's novels. Its incidents and its characters are not similar, and
they lack truthfulness quite as much as they lack similarity. We know
something of Indian life; in our youth we saw much of it; and we regard
Cooper as its faithfulest delineator in literary art. The time at which
this romance opens is in the year 1600, when the wars between France and
England led to hostilities in Canada, and when an abortive attack was
made upon Quebec by the British and colonial army. The hero and heroine
are victims to the disasters of that war, and in describing their
adventures, Canada, and the condition of its civilized as well as of its
wild inhabitants, are vividly presented. The incidents justify the
author in making this appeal to his English readers when he reminds them
of the associations that should ever be connected with the fortress of
Quebec:--

"Men of England, look not coldly upon the interests of that
land for the possession of which your fathers fought and bled.
Quench not irretrievably the flame of loyalty which burns in
many an earnest heart, loath to contract these new ties which
the progress of an irresistible destiny would seem to favor, at
the sacrifice of affection for the fatherland. The blood of the
greatest and wisest nation since the days of the Romans, flows
in the veins of the Anglo-Americans, unadulterated by the air
of another hemisphere, and stimulat
