The treaty of Commerce as concluded
between Holland and the United States
dated at Washington late in January last
and since ratified by the Ouch Govern
ment, embraces the following provisions:
! That all goods, without reference TO
their origin, imported into any ofthe ports
of Holland or the United States, or ex-
ported from any ofthe ports OF these coun-
tries for the other, in Ouch or American
bottoms, shall not ply higher duties than
those fixed on board of national vessels -
| Ii one of the two contracting parties grants
premiums, restoration ofduties, or other
advantages, for the importation or expor-
| tation in national vessels, the same advan-
tages shall be granted, if the importation
or expectation takes places directly be-
tween the ports Of the two countries In
vessels of the other contracting parity
The second article provides that Ouch
and American vessels are not to pay re-
spectively in the ports of either of the
two States any tonnage, salvage, quaran.
tine, or pilot-dues except those established
| for national vessels.
/ Perfect equality is to be established be-
tween the Consuls and Vice Consuls of
both countries, in the exercise OF rights
and privileges, and the protection and as
sstance usually given, especially IN the
case of deserters from the navy of both
countries.
Both countries consider as belonging 10
| the other, vessels provided with passports,
or sea-leters by the competent authorities.
i In shipwrecks or disasters at sea, both
parties engaged to afford to the merchant,
or war vessels of the other, the same as
sistance as in the case Of its own navy.
!, The new treaty is to remain In force for
ten years, and longer should no complaints
/ be made.-N Y. Express.
PARTY PoLITIcs.--The great danger
which now threatens Us grows out of the
base devotion to the spirit etparty. Not
Ephraim alone, but all Israel seem join
to their political idols. Humanity per
ishes in the embrace of party. 1t is tht
solemn duty of every one, who processes
Ito be an advocate of the emancipation o
the. southern slaves from physical bond
! age, TO see to it, that he himself is eman
}, lcipated from the thraldom of party poll
