The unfairness of the treaty is further illustrated by the fact that of the total Canadian commodities sold in the United States during the twelve years, 94 pet cent. came in frec, and but 6 per cent paid duty; while 58 per cent. only of the American commodities sold in Canada passed free to thelr market, and 42 per cent compiled by t authoritics, Canadian , or om houses nearly half, paid tribute to the cu: al Government. of the Province In the negotiations y mut to take Place for the settlement of questions in d pute hetween Great Britain aud the Vaited Btatos, there will doubtless be a strong effort made to procure a treaty with provisions similay to those of the one of 1854, It is to be hoped that any such attempt will be suth marily defvated.

They remained there something more than a week, quartered in a deserted nogro cabin, miserably provided with food, and fired upon on several occasions by the hostile residents of the district, so that they were obliged to establish pickets for their own protection, in addition to those posted by the soldiers. Complaint was made to the Governor of this condition of affairs, and thereupon he con eluded to recall the men, pay them at tho © of two dollars a day, aud discha them fo that they might return to New York, This he accordingly did, much to tncir disgust as to the amount of their p which was a dollar less per day than they had originally understood to be the agreed priee, They aceopted what was offered, how ever, and left the Thus far all statemoots in regard to tho lute South Carolina expedition substantially agree; but concerning the trne object of those who planned it, the most remarkable contradictions preseut theniselves.

The epecch of Gen, Biait in tho Senate in reply to Mr. Monron on the general subject of reconstruetion, excites inquiry all over the country as to whether or not Bram has truly expounded the Democratic creed. This is not surprising, for heis still a young man, not excessively cautious, and in the glow of debate sometimes utters opinions which re- quire commentarics to bring them into con- formity with recognized standards of politi- cal orthodoxy. In this charneteristic Gen, Bram reminds ono of the late Dr. Lyman Bexcurn, who had to spend about half his time in explaining what Le head written and said in the other half, and in trying to con. vince his brethren that Le wos sound in the Calvinistic faith, When analyzed, Gen, RLam’s speech will be found moro closely in accord with the ideas of those Democrats who declare the old J than at first blush appears, THe inveighed agaiuet the means Ly which the ratification of the Fitteenth Amendment had been seenred in what he enlled tho carpet- Lag States ; Lut, when closcly queetioncd by Senator Morton, he adm 1 that that amendment, as well as by implication tho Fourteenth, was now part of the law of tho land. This, of course, was an abandonment of everything practical in his oppe » mere manner of their ratification, Gon, BLam denounced the reconstruction acts under which the earpet-bag governments were organized. But those governments having x in operation three years, objections to tho mode of their creation are of no avail, except to make a point against the party which thus initiated them. His avathemas could not disturb the validity of the governments, but could only reflect upon tho political character of their local adminis. trations ; and he insisted that the true mean- ing of the Broapurap letter was that, if the army was withdrawn from thove States, those administrations would fall. The interpreta tion of thet leiter is of no practical conse- quence now; for tho last elections in those States must have convinced Gen. Brat that Gen. GRant’s blunders and imbeeilities are undermining the ascendancy of the Republi- cans therein, showing that an insurrection through the ballot-boxes is more effective to this end than any possible intervention of bayonets ‘The only practical point, therefore, in Gen, Brain's programme, is his hostility to such recor 1 legislation, whether existing mplated, as does not touch the valid. ity cither of the governments in th te rebel ates or the three recent amend- menis to the Constitution, but which he in- sists is intended, under the guise of enforcing those amendments, to arrest by intimidation and force the swelling tide of opposition to he Republican party in the South.

Now, what was that reason? nply that the United States might protect the Dominicans against Hayti! “We ask for protectioa,” said Bavz, “Why?
