LONDON, WEDNESDA Y, SEPT. 12, 1866.

Speechmaking is the order of the day
in the
United States, and President Jourrsox has his full
share of the duty. During his triumphanttourhe
has been repeatedly called upon to repay the ovations
of the populace by one of those animated and plain-
spoken addresses which the Americans are fond of
hearing from their statesmen. His principal speeches
were made at New York and at Auburn. At the
latter he challenged his accusers to point to a single
principle which he had professed at the time of his
election and had since failed to maintain. .Remem-
bering the vehemence and rancour of the charges
brought against him, the reckless manner in which
accusations of perjury and treason have been levelled
at his head, this self-assertion was not unnecessary.
At Auburn, a 8 at other places, he declared himself

your armies, return to your original position in the
Government, and we will receive you back with open
arms." The South now said that they had accepted
the arbitrament of the sword, and it had decided
against them; they were willing, therefore, to accept
the terms of the North. And now what course could
the North pursue ? Mr. JOHNSON boldly said that,
for his part, he did not want the Southern States
to re-enter the Union degraded and debased. If
they were so, they were no longer fit to form part
of the great American family. The PRESIDENT, in
arguing for the readmission of the South, remarked
that when they chose their own constitution they
modelled it upon the old system. There was, there-
fore, no reason to doubt their attachment to the
institutions of their country. As for the crime of
trying to break up the Government anin tl
and disiseolNveotrltliei
Union, he found there were people
equally anxious to do that. For hisunn
Union. In
heln washis
against them both, and for the
opinion the North could not get along without the
' South, or the South without the North. Some per-
sons contended that if they let the Southern repre-
sentatives in they would control the Government.
Was it likely, he asked, that 58 members could
control 208 ? Were they cowards to be
daunted by such clamour as this. Those
who persisted in the exclusion of Southern
members were doing their best to destroy the Go-
vernment. The country must be really united if they
wished to pay the interest on their bonds or to re-
store the Union to its former strength. New York
had a great part to play in this re-union ; and when
he looked back and traced its wonderful progress
since the days of the first Presidency he could not
fear for its future. When Washington was inau-
gurated the whole expense of the Government was
only about a million and a half, whereas the tax for
New York alone is now $18,000,000. The Govern-
ment of that city alone was now mere complicated
than the whole Administration was then. It is this
rapid growth and extension of the States which make
bystanders doubt whether it be possible to maintain
one form of government over so vast an expanse of
territory and such an increasing population. Mr.
JOHNSON, of course, will not admit the doubt. Ile
holds fast to the one idea of restoring the Union
and reuniting the severed peoples in the links of
harmony and fellowship, and no one can deny that
he has adopted the only means of doing so.
His policy is the only clue out of the maze
in which American statesmen find themselves.
The North has won a sufficiently decisive triumph
to afford to be magnanimous, and a friendly hand
stretched out to the South will bring the peoples
together, at least for the time. To attempt any-
thing like a military rule over six millions of people,
scattered over so vast an area, would, even if it
were possible, necessitate a change iu the American
Constitution. It would not be difficult to foresee
immensely increased, would
the result. The army,
become the ruling power in the State, and it would
not be long before a popular General would seize
the reins of power, and become Dictator,
King, or Emperor, as the case might be. From
this danger President JOHNSON will, if not thwarted
in his efforts, preserve this generation of Americans,
and, happily, the people have intelligence and libe-
rality enough to appreciate his services. The Radi-
cals lose no means of making him unpop&ar, and
have endeavoured to make political capital out of
the Fenian excitement.
The spirit in which our colonists met the alarm
was highly characteristic, and did honour to the old
mother:country, which still claims them as her sons. ,
On March 7th the Adjutant-General called for
10,000 men, and in less than 24 hours the whole
number awaited him, being increased within a very
few days to 14,000. A month or two later the
Province had 20,000 men under arms ; and the
Adjutant-General, in his report to the Governor, is
" quite certain" that within 48 hours he could have
had 30,000. So much for the actual mustering ;
but, to appreciate the sacrifice, we must remember
that a young and thinly-populated country has no
drones in the hive, and that to answer the call many

who had given up lucrative employments. One
gentleman even came from South Carolina, and sixty
young men hastened from Chictatagroyto Toronto. The
spirit of these
intelligence, capacity, and military
Canadian Volunteers were fully
equal to their
patriotism, and the Fenians and New Yorkers, who
look with some contempt on the raw recruits, are
likely, should the occasion arise, to retract their too
hasty opinion. Much remains to be done in the
way of providing stores, equipments, and medical
arrangements ; and many of the deficiencies may
with advantage be supplied, as the Adjutant sug-
gests, by the Home Government. Canada has
shown that she is willing, nay eager, to defend
herself, and that she will provide the most valuable
part of the defence—strong arms and stout hearts.
England may well assist her in turning these to the
best account ; for in the colonists, as in the soil they
occupy, there is abundant evidence of undeveloped
natural resources of a magnificent character, and to
an incalculable extent.

The Sanitary Condition of the City has of late
enjoyed a large share of public attention, and all
that relates to its improvement naturally arrests no-
tice and attracts interest. • After a recess of six
weeks the City Commissioners of Sewers reassembled
yesterday, and an unusual number of members was
present. Dr. LETIIEBY, the medical officer of health,
made a report of the results of the visits which the
officers had made to the various houses during the
last six weeks. It will show the state of things
when we show the E 0 n sequence of all this
has been that orders have been, issued for
sanitary improvement, making a total of 1,717
items. In addition to the usual sanitary staff of
the CRY, 4 cmiderable number of men have been

DEATH OF MR. CHARLES MACLAREN.—We re-
gret to announce the death of Mr. Charles Maclaren, for-
merly editor of the Scotsman, which took place on Monday
morning at his house, Moreland Cottage, Grange. Mr.
Maclaren had reached the advanced ago of 84, having been
beim in 1782. In the year 1817, when holding a subaltern
office in the Customs, he established, in connection with
the late Mr. W. Ritchie, the Scotsman newspaper, and acted
as its anonymous editor for four or five months. Circum-
stances rendering it inconvenient for hiu► to appear as edi-
tor, he relinquished that post to the late Mr. J. R. M'Cul-
loch, lie resumed it, however, after an interval of two
years, and continued to exercise the editorial functions
until compelled by ill health to resign them in 1847; still,
however, writing occasionally for the paper, when placed
under the management of Mr. A. Russell. He was the
anther of "A Treatise on the Topography of Troy (182 t),"
of which, after visiting the district, he published an im-
proved and illustrated edition in 1863, under the title of
" The Plain of Troy Described." He wrote also " The
Geology of Fife and tho Lothians (1839) ;" some articles in
the " Encyclopindia Britannica," and contributed many
scientific popors to the " Edinburgh Philosephical Jour-
nal." Mr. Maclaren was a member of the Royal Society of
Edinburgh, of the Geological Society of France, and of the,
of London.—Edinburgh courant.

THE REPRESENTATION OF FALMOUTH. —The

Western Morning News, of this morning, states that the
Liberal committee yesterday unanimously selected the
name of Mr. Jervoise Smith, of the well-known London
banking firm of Smith, Payne, and Co., from a long list of
eligible gentlemen, as the most suitable Liberal candidate
for the representation of Falmouth and Penryn. Mr.
Smith is about 40 years of age, and stands high in the
commercial world. A meeting of Liberal electors was held
last night at the Penryn Temperance Ifall, when the choice
of the committee was submitted for the approval of the
party generally. It is understood that General Nortb, who
at the last election came forward but did not go to the poll,
will be the Conservative candidate. He is expected to ar-
