Liquor is openly sold 4n wagons on the streets on the Sabbath; and “what with Westchester on the north and Jersey ‘on the west the metropolis by nightfall is re- visited by a class of inebriates who seem to hhave been either struck by lightning or over- come by sour lager. There never were seen } ‘tone time so many drunken people in the streets of New York as there were last Sunday. This is owing to the over-stringency of the law; end, being’ so, the law is worse than a dead ‘Totter, because it makes obstinate men do that ~which their better reason would not justify. Governor Fenton’s Parpoys—Comrounpina ‘Fetony.—The public have severely criticised our police, who have on different occasions se- -eured the property stolen and allowed the thieves to escape. Police officers have been -eharged with being guilty of compounding a felony by thus permitting the criminals to es- cape justice, But it seems to us perfectly use- ‘less to thus arraign and denounce the police ‘for this offence as long as the Governor pardons criminals afler they have been convicted upon the application of parties who expect to have their property restored. When this course is -adopted by the highest official in the. State there is no justice in denouncing a police offi- cer who secures the property and lets the sup- posed criminal escape before he is tried. ‘There is altogethér too much leniency exhi- Dited of laie in regard to those men who are committing theft and other acts against the peace of society. Governor Fenton appears to be imbued with sympathy in that direction, and has commenced in a manner that would lead to the inference that he contemplates a general jail delivery, CANADA. ‘The Coming Struggle for Confedera tion—Tactics of the Parties=the F. nian. Prisoners at Cornwall—Colonel Wheeler Again, &. OUR TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE. Torosto, May 21, 1266, For a country on the eve of great constitutional changes that are to materially aifect its future for weal or wo, ‘anada maintains her own remarkably well. As the ‘moment approaches when the agitation for confederation sof the North American British colonies is to receive its 8 oue way or the other, one would suppose great interest would attach to the question, and its fate In the tister colonies would be waiched with interest, But I Tail to find that interest manifested by the Canadians. ou know colonial confederation is the brain child of “the Canadian government. Ik was here it first was con- ceived, and hence Canada should be more deeply inte ested in its fate than are the other colonics, Province is not agitated wick are upon this question 1 cannot tet!, untess it is that this government feel that confederation is a fixed fact, and the discussion and ayitation of the jiestion ‘might seriously endanger its success. While the govern. ‘ment sre wildly insane upon this scheme I find that the ant-confederates of Canada number largely, and though they have no hope to defeat the scheie hero, they do look to the lower provinces fora ray of hope ‘that it may be defeated. Mach dissatisfaction is felt ‘that great and sweoping chavges of this kind should be forced apon the country by their representativ. » withoat 4b appeal to the people direct. Bat this would not suit the government, who know weil that an appeal to the . popular vote of the people would open the door agsin for the discussion of the pro: and cont of the scheme, and perhaps defeat ft entirely. Hence they seem determined to shove the scheme through the npxt Parliament, which meets ‘the fire¢ week in June, By that time it w beheved such fm dood will have been made in the schame in the mari. me provinces as wi'l place its success beyond a perad- vepture; then, at the close of the session wii take up the scheme and hurriedly run tt through “Doth Wranches of the Legistature. The opponents of the scheme in Canada, I understand, aro already preparing for the buitic m the Legislature, and will not permit it to pass without 4 fi fight. ‘While they have tittle or no hope of killing the scheme entirely, they do hope to so embarrass the government @ to compel them to expunge the most objectionable features of it, and leave the question in fuch a position that future Log slatores can re-open the question. Every. body looks to the forthcoming session of Parhament as ‘one of great importance, not only as regards the colo. gies, but also as regards their relations with the United ‘States, on it is understood legisiation will be bad upon the question of reciprocity, tariffs, &c.

Aunony, N. ¥., May 22, 1866, Secretary Soward addressed an immense meeting of the citizens of Anburn, assembled at Corning Hall,"this Tho meeting was orzanized by the appointment of Mayor Fowler as Prosident, with thirty-six vieo.presi- dents. A committee of three was appointed to wait upon Mi Seward and conduct him to the ball. Mr. Sewanp was received with enthusiastic applause, and proceeded to address tho audience as follows. — My Goon Frrexps—Your kind importumity will not avail me as an oxcnse for speaking if T ought to keep silent. Perhaps, however, the solicitude which pervades the country may justify us ail in conversing upon politi- cal questions in 4 candid and patriotio spirit. Wo wore together here in October Inst. The national condition has undergone some material ebanges since that time. We were then on the verge of a series of elections throughout the States. Tho leaders, who 30 pertinaciously claim to be democratic, organized with their customary machinery and ovations, They nad wisely ceased to denounce asa failure the war for the Union, which had at last become a glorious anccess, They thought to undermine tho distinctive party of the Union by aifecting a pew born admiration, for its “hief, Andrew Johnson. They seemed anxious to prove their devotion superior to ours by committing themselves to support him asa candidate for the Presi- dency {n 1868. They inscribed onr administration mot- toos of reconstruction upon their newly wrought ban- ners; and, reciliation their straggling lines as well as they so hastily could, they vehemently charged on ward for a partisan, not a patriotic victory. What Jed the democratic leaders to make this change was the at i may cali it) the marvelious, phenomenon “which was just then exbibited on the scene of the recent rebellion. Tho whole ‘Uisloyal community im that blighted and desolated region, ac- cepting the conditions of partial amnesty and mvita- tions (0 returaing allegiance which were prociaimed by the administrat’on, all at ones renounted the prieciples, practices and pot ey of secession and dismmion, téncered us a new covenant of loyalty, seqled with ther oathy and brought forward wit cherished institution them to be burned upon the thoy iad so nearly destroyed.
