When the paper is to be rent to Europe, the postage must be added t the subserip- tion, the last week, which May 21, was as follow: a a a Annexation, Senator Pomenoy of Kansas offered in the Benate on Thursday last a resolution re questing the President to open negotiations with the Government of Groat Britain, to as- certain whether the British North Amerifan Provineos cau Le auaexed to the United States upon terms honorable to both partic. This proposition is probably regarded as a wise one by some of the more ardent and thoughtless among our people. We observe also that a movement in favor of annexation is going on in Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick. Societies are organized, public meet- ings are held, speeches are made, and pam- phlets in favor of annexation are distributed. All this is 80 much labor lost, especially the resolutic 1 of Senator Posenoy ; it can come to nothing. Great Britain cannot con- sent to the annexation of her colonies to the United States, and the efforts of the friends of annexation on the north of the border will all be of no avail, except so far as they may influence public opinion in their own neighborhood. ‘The destiny of the North American Prov. inces is independence. They are separated from the United States by the Great Lakes in the centre, and Ly the St. John’s and the Bt. Francis rivers on the east. They have every resource necessary for the establish- ment of an independent power. They have ® Constitution formed for this very purpose, and capable, like the Constitution of the United States, of indefinite expansion over new provinces and territories, Great Britain has already proclaimed her desire to see them set vp upon their own account and take a place in the family of nations, As they now stand, they are to her a cause of great weakness ; and were they separated from her and formed into a, friendly State, with a republican, aristocratic, or monarchi- cal government, the strength and security of the parent country would be much increased. Bhe has accordingly of late improved every proper opportunity to stimulate them to such a policy. There is no doubt that whenever they may resolve to enter upon it, she will afford them every possible facility and advan- tage. This then is what they ought to do, and what patriotic men within their borders and judicious men without ought to urge npon their consideration. The idea of annexing these Provinces to the United States, however much it may flat ter the vanity of theorizing statesmen among ourselves, or however agreeable it may be to impatient spirits in the Provinces, is en- tirely impracticable, The majority of the people north of the line are opposed to it, and cannot be brought to favor ft; and the pride and prestige of Great Britain render it equally inadmissible. Let this notion, then, be dismissed so far as pos- sible from the minds of practical politicians everywhere ; let the Provinces enter upon their career of independence, and let us here in the United States give them all suitable encouragement and aid in taking this great step. No feelings but those of friendship ought to be cultivated between the two coun- tries. We are neighbors; and our interests in many respects aro identical, With inde- pendence, our relations must become much more intimate ; and the sooner the new na- tion is formed and put in motion, the better for the Canadas, the better for England, and the better for the United States jtbscat na tal Is Popular Government City a Failure t Last Tucsday’s election pretty thoroughly demonstrated the fact§ that, for the present at least, the people of thie city have lost the comtrol of public affairs, The form of re- ceiving and counting their ballots was gone through with, but it was only a form. The result was determined beforehand by a few skilful politicians, who took effectual mea- ®ures to secure the consummation of their plans. For all practical purposes, the honest voters might as well have stayed at home, aud spared the repeaters the commission of crimes for which they will never be pun- ished, In logical order, the next step in our civil degradation would be the abolishment by our masters of the appearance, a8 they have already abolished the reality, of popular government. Why should they not grow lired of playing a farce, which everybody knows to be a farce as well as they do? They might well scorn to ask for a ratifica: tion of th decrees at the polls, since they must fecl assured that such a ratification can be safely dispensed with, ‘They have already weured their tenure fora term of years of the most important offices of the City Gov. ernment; it needs but a single enactment at Albany to extend thisterm for twenty or thirty years longer, or even for life, Mr. Tween and his colleagues aro to-day as truly the despots of New York ag NAVOLK“on is of france; and our people need not be called apon to give themselves any further trouble ebout municipal affairs, ‘Thie is the result which the enemies of the sepublican form of government have always New York predicted, not only for thie city, but for the whole country. They say, and with a show of teuth, that political power always tends to concentrate itself in a few hands who know how to retain it ; and that sooner or later it will fall into auch hands among us, aa it hog in every other country. The maas of people will be too much occupied with their private business, or too indolent, or too indifferent to res'st, and therefore they will quietly submit. ‘Thus, we are told, it will come to pass here, as it has elsewhere, that the republic will be supplanted by an oligarchy or a monarchy, and the election of political officers will fall into disuse. It is certain that we have taken alarming strides in the direction of such a revolution ; whether we shall keep on to the bitter end, oF retrace our steps, depends upon ourselves alone, One thing is certain : mere talk, whether in the newspapers or elsewhere, is not going to Le ofany use. As long as our laboring peo- ple, our mechanics, our merchants, our pro- fessional men, and our retired rich men care more for their own personal case and comfort than for their political liberties, mere grum- bling at the despotism of the Ring is only a te of breath. The press cannot fight their battle with suecess, unless they codperate with it. They must organize in earnest and work out their own deliverance, or elso make up their minds to endure their slavery as best they may. The Man who Smokes, The Stoic philosopher St1.P0, when hi country had been ruined, his native city cap- tured, and his daughters carried away as slaves, boasted that he had lost nothing. “The sage,” said he, “ is independent of eir- cumstance (here is a Rtoic in Washing: ton who presents to ills which threaten his administration of the Government with failure and dishonor, and the existence of the Republican party with destruction, the philosophy of impassive indifference. He lights a cigar and smokes. He gays nothing. The most distinguished, the wisest, and the most influential leaders of the Republicans conjure him to reform the administration of the Navy Department, and to deprive the Democrats of the handle which its abuses give them. He smokes. Gen. LooAN argues to him: “ We have one officer in the navy to every six men! There are 1,400 officers, and only 8,500 men. The pay of the navy is over seven millions ; of this the offi cers get over five millions, and the men less than two.” To this political preaching, ad- monitory and valuable, the President shuts his mouth tight, and blows smoke out of his nose, LOGAN resumes: “There ave one, or two, or three old tubs in the Washington Navy Yard. How many officers aro em- ployed to man them? You have one vice- admiral, eleven rear admirals, ten com- modores, six captains, fifteen commanders, seven lieutenant-commanders, three leu tenante, four masters, nine engineers, six paytnasters, two passed assistant paymasters, two assistant paymasters, eeven surgeons, one assistant surgeon, six chief engineers, one assistant chief engineer, two second assist- ants, and two naval constructors, besides seven professors in the Observatory, You have in Washington city naval officers on duty to the number I have mentioned, who draw from the Treasury yearly over $330,000. And for what ?” What is Gen, Grant's answer? A puff of smoke. Masses of testimony are preased upon him by Republicans to show that under his administration the taxes paid by a hard-working people are absorbed by a swarm of naval office-holders, who have no duties to perform, and who went into the navy simply to have a soft thing of it. To all which the Washington Stoic shuts his mouth tight, and blows cigar smoke through his nose, See ‘ Admiral Poor’s Pusllanimity. From Havana we learn that, calewating upon the culpable leniency with which their outrages on Americans have been allowed to pass unnoticed, the Spanish volunteers still vie with each other in heaping indignities on our flag. The last exhibition of their feelings of hatred and contempt for every one bearing the name of a United States officer is related by the Havana correspondent of the World: * Yesterday the Spanish suthorities seized nearly the New York papers Lrought by the Morro Castle, and would not even “allow the purser to furnish the ‘officers of the flag ship Severn und Monitor Baugus with the journals given him for them.” Whatever action our Executive may take, if any, on the Cuban question, the dig- nity of the American flag is quite another matter, and entirely independent of Cuba, Admiral Poor, who has allowed thie affront to go unresented, should be at once ordered home and brought before a court of inquiry, When he took Mr. A. E. Puiiuirs back to Santiago de Cuba, he disgraced our flag by his determination to take upon himself no responsibility, On that occasion the execu tive‘officer of his flag ship, Capt. Lowry, re- quested the Admiral to order him to take Mr, Pur.irs ashore, and reinstate him in the American Consulate, under an escort of fifty marines, Admiral Poon refused the re. quest, stating that his instructions only al- lowed him “to inquire into the matter,” and that his principal duty was to look after St. Domingo. After such conduct, the American people and tho officers of our navy will know whom to thank for this last insult in Havana. It is simply the natural consequence of Admiral Poor's faintheartedness, —— - Amnesty for Southern Rebel The question of relieving all persons in the South from the political disabilities conse- quent upon their engaging in the jrebellion has been much discussed of late, and an clab- orate, ardent, and able debate upon the sub- ject has taken place in the Senate The principle which should govern the deci. sion of this question was well stated to us by the Hon, ANDREW JOHNSON in Richmond immediately after the capture of that city by the United States forces. Mr. Jounson wae then Vice-President, and was carnestly en. gaged in enforcing his views of the right policy to be adopted upon every one with whom he came in contact. “What we should do,” said he, “is to pardon all the mans of tho people who havo been concerned in this war, and totreat with in- exorable severity all the leadk Mr. JOUNBON'B ideas were sound then, and, with some modifications, they are sound now. ‘There should be a general amnesty which should put an end to the political disabilities | Political rights who left @ reat in that have rested for five years upon #0 large ® number of men in the South. But to this amnesty there should be exceptions, and these exceptions should be maintained for ever. No rebel should ever be restored to Con Cone gress, who resigned a commission in the army or navy, who.threw up his commission as a Judge, or who went from any office or place of trust or power under the United States Government, to engage in war against the Union. Not one man of either of these classes should ever again be permitted to hold any public office in the United States. All others should be fully forgiven. These should also be forgiven, eo far as social and business relations are concerned ; but they should never be allowed again to exercise any political power under the Government which they lave treacherously, and with such bloodshed and such boundless expense of treasure, endeavored to destroy. Ne Of all the preposterous inventions, we think the one produced in the Spanish Cortes yesterday is the most barefaced and absurd. Tho Spanish Colonial Minister, Moner, on being questioned as to the truth of the rumored concert of action on the part of Great Britain and the United States to effect a mitigation of the so-called Spanish horrors in Cuba, stated that Captain-General De Ropas had repeatedly in- vited American commissioners to visit Cuba in order to examine into these alleged cruelties, and see for themselves how utterly false these stories were, ‘This statement of Mr. Moner is simply a delib- erate falsehood, uttered to deceive the members of the Cortes, It carries self-contradiction on its very face, because the Madrid Cabinet know full well how completely their diplomatic agent in Washington has hoodwinked Mr. Fisn, and that any such invitation which offered a possi- Dility of legulizing the inaction of our Cabinet would have been at once accepted, Mr. Monet bas, however, dangerously hinted at a course which we venture to say any other American Administration would long ago have adopted without invitation, Gen, GRANT, on being invited to go on & fishing excursion lust week, replied that he haa fish enough at home, and was getting tired of it. ——_ The political situation in the First Con- gressional District of South Carolina is unfortu- nate. The renegade parson, Warrrewour, who received fifteen hundred dol- lars on account of a cudetship which was sold by him through a broker for two thousand dollars, will probably be redlected to Congress, That district comprises eleven counties, as follows, Those marked with an asterisk will vote in favor Massachusetts of the candidate under whose name the asterisk 1s placed wr a a Kainey, et About even. |) ‘About even. |Aboiii iit +|About even: |About eve: f reGattaiit Ki out even. |About even.
