After that period, as matterszhow stand, reciprocal free trade between the States and Canada will cease to exist. Tt is not posâ€" sible to believe that so shrewd a people as those of the United States in all business transactions, can desire to put an end to the trade which ten years of unrestricted com merce has so unquestionably establiâ€"hed to mutual advantage. _ It is not in the nature of thing= that the American trader should desire to destroy, from mere whim or caprice, a busiâ€" ness connexion which, during its shortâ€"lived continuance, has carried millions to the favorâ€" able side of his profit and loss account. Mh_‘l is much too prudent to do anyâ€" thing of the sort.; he is not the man to sacriâ€" fiee dime= to ideas ; he is far o practical to commit so gross a folly.

MeCULLOCH, Upon the whole, therefore, our: conclusion is that the"clear, fair, and open question of reciprocity is not being idiscussed‘ by our neighbors, or theit further pretensions put forth with the candor that should mark a neâ€" gotiation of this important character. There are s) many in-lix"ons ‘of an overâ€"reaching apirit, that we arecompelled to suspicion against our will. The qrex and conduct of ? Consulâ€"General have disgusted every manâ€" it Canada. . Mr. Carlyle has cl¢arly been playing second fiddle to the Cousul; and still more recently we have the publication .of a Treasury Order, putting the Act of Conqun in force regurding the importation of eattle into the United States. Ifthis Act is intendâ€" ed to be applied to Canada we think there can be but one opmion as to the animus which prompts the prohibition. ‘If this be a part of the Potier scheme, it is neither more nor less than the first gun fired in a war of tariffs, at which, if we do not bring our cnemy to sue for peace, it will be our own fault. We are loathe, however, to believe that the governâ€" ment of Washington has any such folly on hand ; and therefore forbear to make further comment until the intent and purpose of the Act in reference to Canada is imore fully ‘exâ€" plained. ‘ The precaution as to cattle from the Province is wholly unm* from | the fact that we have no. disease amongst our catâ€" tle.. In republishing the Treasury Order we cannot resist noticing that it is the first pubâ€" lic document we have met with, the provisions of which had to be explained by';f;wp-phy- It is a wrinkle also to fave legrued that «* sheep, goats and swine" ‘are cattleâ€"but so suys Webster, and the Secretary of the United States Treasury accepts the dictum. Thus runs the Orderâ€" ; | FGs: Treasory Derartwext, Doc. 23, 1865. The followi proved by thewl‘reddenAd dt%‘;ng:.l":i“ledd‘sm e peam ienss among the cattle of the United States :â€" .. Be it enacted, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Uflfi States of Amerâ€" ica, in Congress assembled,â€"That the imporâ€" tation of cattle be and is hereby prohibited, and it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to make such régulations as will give this full and immediate effect, and to send copies of .them to proper officers in ‘this country, and to all officers or agents of the United States in foreign countries. . _ . © . Sec. 2..And be it further enactedâ€"That when the President shall gix;thlt,ty days noâ€" tice, by prociamation, thatâ€" further danger is to by apprehended }mnflhd spread of forcign infeetions or contagious diséases among catâ€" tle, this law shall be of no force, and cattle may be imported in "the same way as before its "its price is determined by the markets of the world, and all we can do by putting a high duty upon it is to send Canadian‘ wheat through the St. Lawrence to the other Proâ€" | vinces, Great Britain, or §|\rr p.m of the world. We have sold to the Provinces alone under the treaty a much larger amount of wheat and flour than we have bought from them ; â€"and our protectionists never made a more malicious or ignorant erfor than in thus legislating toâ€" annihilate & large portion of employment, the" natural riqln of our for warders, merci.ants, shipowners, and their numerous ar»~ of industrial employees." We are glud.to goy that our New York conten« porary has taken thetrouble to inform himâ€" self of a tact which few of our own journalists have cared to learn, or have cared to be lieve. The relative quantities of wheat and flour bought and sold between the two ‘counâ€" tries is precisely as stated by the above paraâ€" graph. Canada has actually bousht more of these.commoditics than she has‘ sold. Such, we know, is not the general belief, bui such is the fact. . If this were more gehcrally understood, if indeed the whdle; question of reciprocity were every where better umlerstood in all its bearings far less anxiety would be felt about. the renewal of the: treaty. It would be a gross blunder and an eternal disgrace to make any undue concessions to the States. _ They â€"have hitherto had the best of the bargain ; let them have it still,‘ but let us have self¢steem sufficient to preâ€" vent us from being made the | laughing stock vof our neighbors. In the treaty now dying out we were to have the right of canal naviâ€" gation, but we were never able to, obtain . it. The coasting trade was. also ‘denied to us in the narrowest possible spirit; and several minor things were not adherred to, yet we are silly enough to listen to and believe that we have reaped the greater advantage. Why, if Canada had no other privilege to bestow, the concession of her fisheries are worth al} the commercial facilities the could give. The Aniericans know this ; and lthough they are too wise to talk about it, the truth occaâ€" sionally leaks out; as for insta when the World says: "Asithe privileges acquired. by> the fisheries will be lost to us with the treaty, it is urged that those who are interested in this pursuit will beâ€"anxious for an uninter rupted continuance of the treaty. â€" If tliere is no treaty, the feads which will arize will be numerotis." P rij the value of, say $20,000,000, we have made $22,000,000 although the soâ€"galled *balance of trade‘ is against us to the same amount." Here the fallacy of the balance is plainly aftirmed ; but which, the figures,â€" we will af some more leisure time produce directly com trovert..

The London Adverfiser reports m speech made byâ€"the member fot.

As Mrs. Partington remarked of Masonry, " I don‘t beli¢ve there‘s "many secret to tell, for so many fellows «" knows all about it that if there was any* "thing worth knowing, they‘d have been sure " to blab long ago." _ But says the reporter : Mr. Mackengie was called upon to address the meeting. He remarked, on rising, it was somewhat novel in this Province tonfipuk of politics at a meeting under professedly reliâ€" gious auspices. But it was not without preâ€" cedent that he thus spoke to them. |In Engâ€" land, Ireland and &mnd, it was not uncomâ€" mon for party politics, even, to be introduced at the various lgnoé‘tunl fairs, thus educatâ€" ing the people viva voee on the great questions at times agitating the Empire. But | it would not do to introduce« party politics in this Proâ€" vince, where political dissension had always waxed so fierce, and he had no intention of doing so toâ€"night. He had always tried to soften the asperities of political warfare beâ€" tween men who might honestly differ in o]l):;ion. But the question of Confederation which now occupied the attention of the world, and more especially the British Empire, was so party question. .A question in which our moral, social and political future was so bound up and identified, was not an improper one to speak ofat almost any mecting, and almost on any occasion, â€" Recent events had rendered it impossible for him to speak of the subject at theâ€"length he first proposed.

At this rate how fong is it likely to keep ? Can it be bottled up, when the depositarias are so numecrous, till next sesâ€" sion? We think not. Mr. McCully, to whom Mr. Galt‘s telegram was probably addr will be regarded as having been guilty of an indiscretion, to put it mildly, in giving it pubâ€" licity.‘ True, it reveals nothing beyond the fact that the story has been told. Mr. McCully, it is presumable, did not know that there was any secrecy about the matter, and the Unionist blurts out the fact that the tull explanation has travelled through the post .to Nova Scotia, He will come to see the necessity of greater discretion in future. *Mr. Brown has resigned for causes menâ€" tioned in my letter of this date. ‘The policy of the Government remains unchanged.
