The buildings IN question have been 10
the course OF construction from q period
anteceden; 90 the provisional agreements
oil last year, AMI they are now maintained
end occupied along the line Of march. with
q view 10 the same objects above specified,
Tor which the small delschmenis OF troops
also referred 10, are 10 like manner there
stationed.
The undersigned will not refrain from
here Fcmarking upon one pint Of eompar-
lson exhibited in the present controversy.
II Is admitted by the United States aa-
thoflties that the armed bands stationed by
the Government Of Maine in the neighbor-
hood OF the Aroostnok river, have fortified
those stations with artillery; and II is now
objected as matter OF complaint against
The British authorities, with reference 10
the buildings al Lake Temscouta, not
that these buildings ale furnished with mr.
tilefy, but only that they are defended by
palisades capable of resisting artillery. 1t
would be difficult to adducc stronger evil
dener of the acts on the one side being
those Of aggression, and on the other OF
defence.
The fact. shortly, is, s. this is the essen
tiai point OF the argument. that her Ma
Iestys authorities have not as yet altered
their state Of preparation, or strengthened
their military means within the disputed
territories, with a view to settling the
| quesiiau Of the boundary, although the
attitude assumed by The state OF Maine
/ with reference to the question, would be
a riear Justification Of such measures; and
il il much to be opprehcnded that the
adoption Of such measures will sooner or
later become Indispensable, il the people
OF Maine be not compelled to desist from
the extensive system Of armed aggression
which they are continuing to carry on in
other parts Of the same disputed territory.
The undersigned ovalls himself Of this
occasion to renew to the Secretary Of State
of the United States the assurance Of his
distinguished consideration.

and Incorporating Feiormer; aud twice,
although at great persoual sacrifices, has
he consented 10 represent the West Wa
of Montreal as tic colleague Of Mr.. Pap.
neau, and that too in orjer 20 secure Mr..
p's election, when that man could not
have been elected without his influence
and his name. Since Pspineau came Ia
the States and abandoned the wreck of his
country, DR.. Robert Nelson came sener-
ousiy forward end volunteered his sery ices
in behalf of suffering Canada. at the Or
gent solicitation Of his fellow-courtrymen
he took The lead Of the title band that
assembled on CaIdwel's Manor, and, but
for the inierposition of Republican gov
eminent, would have fought his way 10
triumph and 10 glory. Again, in the faIl
Of 1888, he strove to save lis country, and
narrowly escaped with bis life, from the
Infamous plot of the notorious Hcdernan,
near Lacolle, who had corspired with the
British 10 kidnap him. We might here
cite hundreds Of circumstances, not gene
rally known on this side of the line, which
have tended to inspire the Canadian peo-
pie with almost unlimited confidence in both
these gentlemen as leaders. And we in
dulge the fond hope, that, the day is not
far distant, when the Canadians, under
the unfurled, banner Of the Nelson's, will
assert their rights, and planting the stand
ard Of Liberty on the Canadian soil, ulti-
matey succeed in achieving their hide
pendence. We are happy to learn that
DR.. Wolfred Nelson, in his remarks at
Fort Covlngton, very properly omitted
the name Of the great tRrn-coat, which
shews that he has lille or no confidence
in the Canadian Agtator, and we believe
that ere long bis most strenuous friends
will have TO acknowledge that he has
abandoned, for ever, the cause Of his
bleeding country.

SALT DUTY AND SALT M0NOP-
OILY IN THE WEST.

Mr.. BENTON asked TO add certain pa
perS 10 those already ordered TO be printed
by the Senate on the subject Of the salt
duty, and the monopoly Of salt in the
West. The papers which had been or
dered 10 he printed were principally from
the West--chieiiv from the State Of Mis-
SCUM: those which he now presented, came
from n very different quarter; they came
from the East--& from the far East-from
that Asia which nrosned under the iron
scrplfr OF the English East India Gonna
my. This company, which was a corpa-
ration, had excmpljhed 10 Asia every vafie-
tv OF abuse, tyranny, and oppression,
which the passions OF man could suggest;
and among other abuses, had established
a salt monopoly throughout The vast re-
gions over which it ruled. The parallel
between the conduct Of the monopoIizers
Of salt in Asia and in America was COM
pIete in every particular; in selling by The
pound, Instead OF the measured busheI; in
eXtorting an enormous and uncomfortable
price; in appointing agents 10 distribute
the salt to the people in districts; in adult
leTatlng the salt; and in SURPRISING its
manufacture, or production. In all these
particulars, the conduct Of the monopoIi-
gers in Asia and America was The same,
and there was but one point at which the
English company beat the Americans and
that was ID the reduction Of the quantity,
or suppression OF the manufacture Of salt.
The American companies effected their
object by renting salt wells and furnaces,
and letting them lie idle, and bv hiring
owners ul salt water not to dig wells and
also by limiting the manufacturers 10 make
hut certain quantity. This is the way
the American monopolizers effected their
object; the English company in India, on
account Of their military force, had a more
competitions, cheaper, and ehectual way TO
accomplish the same object il was, sim
ply, 20 drive the native Tindoos down ~
The sea shore where the power ofthe sun
covered the beach with pure strong salt,
from the evaporation OF sea water, and
make them throw it all back into the sea /;
and then come 20 the Company's agents
and purchase their aduIlerated stuff, (from
one-third to one-half being The amount Of
aduIteration,) at The rate Of about fifty
cents for fifteen pounds. With this single
exception, in which the English monopoli-
GERS IN Asia had the advantage over the
Americans in the mode Of lessening the
quantity OF salt, their conduct was precise
| ly the same, and led to the same complaints
and applications for redress. The Hin
docs, in 1882, sent deputation TO London
TO complain To the Parliament Of this salt
monopoly, and lis hear;less abuses. The
/ House of Commons raised a select commit
tee to inquire into the conduct Of The East
India Company generally, and into this
abuse in particular which committee took
the testimony, both Of natives and Eng
iishnen, and reported the who.e 10 PaTia-
ment.

THE NELSON'S

We are happy to see the name Of DR.
WoLFRED NELSON again before he pub
lie (see first and second pages Of this pa
per.) II any one Of the Canadian Refugees
deserves well ol his countrymen, or merits
the good will OF the citizens Of this Repub-
lie, il is Dr. Worred Nelson. The lau-
rels won al ST. Denis, the fortitude with
which he met his subsequent suferings, the
unconquerabe spirit maintained during his
Imprisonment and exile TO Bermuda, all
tend TO elevate the character OF this dis
tinguishcd patriot, in the eve Of The world
But while we are ready 10 join he Fort
Covlngton Gazette in awarding the need
of praise SO justly due the hero Of Saint
Denis, we cannot allow the present oppor-
tunily to pass without bringing before the
public the name Of his highly talented and
honorable brother. DE. Robert Nelson,
than whom, as an able and honest states
man, none stands higher in Canada
Dr. Woired Nelson, as a military chief
tain, ranks high in the estimation of his
countrymen; under him we should be
proud TO fight our common enemy-under
him every true patriot would rally to the
rescue OF Canada. But, as a statesman and
linancier, his brother enjoys an equal shase
Of Canadian coniidence-and while we
wish that one should be placed at the head
of the cabinet, we are equally anxious for
the other ~ iaae the Geld as commander in

The governor Of Canada, is expe,,ing
from that country many persons whom be

This is Turkish energy. A MIR. Glboin,

IF the Governor Of Canada acted with
Turkish energy in 1911, what shall we
say of the conduct OF Colborne, who not
only sent men unaccused across the line, as
Carleton did before him, bat sent some Of
the first Canadians in the country into
British Siberia, after mock trial on the
men for suspicion Of Treason, and sane
toned the cold-blooded butchery Of others,

duct Of Colborne towards major Goddu,

out a trial, who, when he had been liberia
ted by the British Government, and had
just returned to his family, was seized and
unceremoniousIy pushed into the United
States, where be yet remains. Nor will
they forget the fate Of their brethren who
have been sent into British slavery. The
remembrance of the savage massacre Of the
patriot prisoners by colonel Prince, which
had the sanction of CoIborne, and all the
tory clan, is treasured up against the day
