Tho subjoot has been go fully discuesed in our columns that it is not nocossary to restate the wholo argument in favor of it, Our advicos from Washington load us to hopo that it will bo comploted and ratifled boforo the prosont sosslon of Congross clogos.

But tho ine tercats of tho States In the Upper St. Lawrenco end Migeissippl Velloys require that thoe work bo completed ot an onely day. Wo are informed and bolieve that it cen bo done within throo yoars; and, if this'bo tho fact, our West- orn Scnators should jusist that it ho made & specifio article in tho troaty. Our farmors and business men have Liad sinco tho opening of navigation & showing of tho ben- ofits these onlarged canals would afford thom, During the winter, the competition of the Balti- more & Oulo Railway reduced freighta on corn and wheat on all the great Eastorn railway linos to an averago of about 24 conts.

For the five wooks onding last Tuosday thoro have been shipped henco to Buffalo of corn 8,087,780, and of whouat 1,181,196 huehols; totnl, 4,169,136, A saving of 10 conts per hushiol on theso shipments hay given our furmers and donlers $416,918 in the short spaco of fivo weeks, Of this snm about two- thirde, or $277,012, have gono into the pockots of the farmors, or would have dono soif nonoof the grain had boen in store hore.

Tho proceodings of {ho National Qonvention of Dunkards, ‘which hns boen in session nt Girard, 1Il., during tho past week, hayo devol- oped somo ourions facts concorning tho forms and practices of this romarkably ascotio denoml- nation. That filthy and absurd eaint, Simon Biylites, who slood upon his pillar for forty yonrs, could hardly have beon more complotoly romoved from the tomptationd of this nnughty world or more ahstinont than tho smodern Dunk- ard. A griovona wrong has boen dono thom by tho tolograph, which has porslstontly atyled this gathoring tho Nntional Convention of Drunlards; and many of tho prominent Iastorn papors aro puzzlod o amccount for the faot that 10,000 druokards have migrated to 1lliuois,—somo, more eaplent than tho othors, looking upon it an onoe of tho first fruits of the recout orusnde, The Dunkard, however, isno dvankard, ‘Pho Dunkard deinks no intoxleating liquor of any desoription, Mis bovorage Is wator, and his food I8 as simpla as hig drink, Tho fomale Dunkards wear no jowolry, no foathors, no gny colors, no ‘¢ ariificialn.’ The fashionable competition which makes the life of the dry-goods and millinory business, and ndds so much to the pleturesquencss of tho siroot, is unknown to them, as thoy all dross in the same color and cut of garmont. Thoy know notling, theroforo, of tho fino fomale distraction over o frill ora bias, the dreadful uncortain- ties attending complomonts of color, the qualms of onvy at & noighbor's eupe- riority, and tho delight consoquent upon tho annual Esstor oxhibition, Tho malo Dunlkard must woar a full, flowing beard, and s 1ot oven silowed the Iuxury of woaring hls mouatache without whiskors, Both tho mole and female Dunkards are obliged to groot thoir rospective mexos with the holy kiss. Inasmuch ag tho inovitabls nogro who gets into ovorything has also got into the Dunkards, the holy kiss has bocome . }ittlo em- barrassing. Tho white male Dunkard doubtloss might kisa tho whits femals Dunkard with fervor end unction and enjoy tho operation. Ilo might kigs the white male Dunkard with golomnity, oven it hio did not onjoy the oporation. But when it camo to the necossity of porform- ing the oporation without rogard to Hox, ocolor, or provious conditfon of sor- vitade, then tho soul of the Virginia Duukard rovolted, and ho domanded that tho Conferonco should not mako it a national mat- tor. Tho rasult was that it was rolegated to the churches, ench church boing loft freoe to ostab- lish its own standard of kissing. Even with tlus rosorvation, it is not probablo that the sect of the Dunkards will vory largely spread among the world's poople, with whom kissing goea by favor. The outlook is altogother too dark. The Dunkard, furthermore, cannot joln the Crangers, nor any seoret docloty, mnor apy worldly institution of any deseription. Ho can- not hold any political offico. Ilo canuot bear arms. Ho cannotusesbymn ors tune bools. - Ho cannot have s piano or any musical instru- mont, bocausa thoy aro worldly, We are rather surprised an oxcoption was not made in favor of tho harp, as this is peculiarly a hoavonly instru- meont, all tho authorities agroeing that overy one in Henven i3 proficient with that instrament. ‘Cho Dunknrd ressony that a fashionablo instru- mont would lead to fashionable company; fash- lonablo compnny to picnica; plenics to parties; partles to dances; dances to lalo suppoera; lato suppors to wine; wine to whisky, and whisky to the gallows, Rathor than iake any risks of be- ing worldly or doing auything worldly, the Dunkard ogchows overything conneotod with the world, excopt 6o far as it becomos necessary for him to have relations with it for the purpose of sustaining life and carrying on buainess, The only advantage wo seo in bolug a Dunkard is that hio is not allowed to go to lnw, whichsnves Lim o great deal of trouble and oxpenso, Thus the Dunkard, as he oxists to-day, s an anti- quated, cousorvative, sngular fossil, blind to tho world's boauty, deaf to its music, calloustoits goodness, and opposoed to its ways, its forms, its usages, and its inatitutions, Ho e the bost Dunk-~ ard who knows loast of tho world nnd has lonst to do with it. Conatituted thus, it 18 an inexplicablo mystory why tho Dunkard was ovor sont into the world, and it is probably jukt 88 Inexplicable to the Dunlkard why the world wag over oroated. A correspondent writos to Tax Thnune ssylng: “Aro thoro really such pooplo as the Dunkards? Aro thoy Awericans ? Aro they » ncet of Christisns?" Tho thres questiona may bo answored in the afiirmative, Thoir donomination was founded in 1708 in Schwartzenau, Goermany, by Alexendor Mack and seven otliors, and thoy received their name a8 a nicknamo from tho German funken, “to dip," to distingulsh thom from the Aonnonites, They wore drivon by porsecution to Crofeld and Holland, and botwoen 1719 and 1720 the wholo seot migrated to Ameorien.
