THE BRITISH STEAMERS ON THE UPPER
LAKES

Much solicitude has been produced on the frontier
by the preparation Of these vessels and opinion
prevails that the increase of the naval force of Great
Britain on the Lakes is in violation of the treaty be
tween that country and our own. The facts are as
follows
A treaty arrangement was made in 1877, be
tween the two countries, by which il stipulated
that the naval force to be maintained upon the Anne
rcan Lakes by the respective parties should there
after be confined TO the following vessels each
tide
"On Lake Ontario, to one vessel not exceeding one
hundred tons burden, and armed with eighteen
pound cannon.
"On the Upper Lakes, to two vessels not exceeding
like burden and armed with like force
"On the waters Of Lake Champaign, one vessel not
exceeding like burden, and armed with like force"
II was further agreed, that il either party should
thereafter be desirous Of annulling the agreement
and should give SIX months since To that effect the
agreement should TO be binding after the expra-
ton of the sir months. The British Government
gave notice 10 the President Of the United States in
November, 1888, that that Government had found IL
necessary to increase their armament on the Lakes
Mr. Van Buren, seems TO have supposed that il was
perfectly proper and safe let the British Government
have large force the Lakes il pleased and
leave the frontier defenceless on our pan--Aibany

| THE PRESIDENT AND THE MANIFESTO
Had power greater than the Presidents
and authoritative as the Peoples, interposed its
absolute Veto on the Manifesto Of Congress, il
would have deserved the unlimited gratitude Of
the Wings Of the country.
| The Manifesto must be recalled. II must be
nullifed. 1t must be expunged from the memo
nv as well as the record, or il is the death watch
Of the party in power.
The Opposition stands firm losing not man
But the Wings are divided into sections. There
policy and some from principle, some because
they are satisfied with his overturn of a weak,
feeble, inefficient Corporation-a thing of shreds
and patches, that had no vigor of constitution
for the work assigned TO it, and must have dis
appointed its creators. Some because this rick
ETY. bantling of many fathers seemed to them
another monster Of niquity and sin-and yet
more, perhaps because in their judgment the
constitutional exercise of Executive authority
is matter wisely entrusted to the discretion Of
the Executive chief.
The Cabinet-at least FIVE Of its SIX members
resign. The Manifesto adopts their side Of
the question, and justiies their conduct before
the People by line of argument, not indeed in
words referring to them, but necessarily tending
to their defence. One numerical sixth Of the
Cabinet whose intellectual proportion il is not
easy to estimate remains behind, adheres TO the
President, carries on the Administration, and
unites with FIVE other undoubted Wing citizens
Notwithstanding the Legislative Remuneration.
In this state of things what can be done 2 How
is the party TO exist, how work together while
they are taught by the action of the Secretary
of State that the President is true Wing,
whom he and they are bound TO sustain, and by
the Legislative caucus, that the President is a
traitor, whom they ought to renounce2
Again for one act Of supposed opposition to
the will Of the members ordering the Manifesto,
the President is denounced by his former sup
porters and friends In anticipation this, and
on the same ground. his Cabinet is broken up.
Veto this and every other measure Of the late
session. one or more distinguished members OF
the party are found in opposition to the mea-
sures proposed. Mr.. Rives TO the Bank. Mr..
Preston to the Land Bill. Messrs. Saltonstall
aliis. They did all they could in their position,
and il was only less efiectual than the Presl-
dents, because their position was inferior TO his.
Yet these eminent, true hearted Wings, are In
full fellowship with the party which, for his one
supposed misdemeanor, John Tyler is to be read
out Of the Church.

bis IS no bed of roses. This IS but sample. The
other beads Of Departments are no better of.
Much complaint is made, and with good reason Of
the conduct of Mr. Paudlug late Secretary of the VA
". and OF Mr. Ponseu late Secretary OF War, toward
the close OF Mr. Van Burcns administration. These
gentlemen evidently took the determination to leave 10
their successors no chance OF making any Mdshp-
mems or Cadets appointments for q long time.
From the frs, TO the fourth of March, It is under
stood that Secretary Pauliing issued between thirty
and forty letters Of appointment To Midshlpmen-no
only filling up all allowed 10y law, but even tapping
over as II 10 prevent his successor from making any APP
pon,menis IN vacancy should occur, by having
nominee OF his own ready to step into such vacancy.
Ihi, Is too bad and the present Secretary might be
justified IA revokiug these letters OF appointment and
IN refusing TO issue the warrants But such course
would lahct injury upon the young men appointed,
who certainly not to blame, and would he morlly-
ing to their families aud friends The lurbearance Of
Mr. Secretary Badger IN this respect presents him in
strong contrast to Mr.. Ex-Sccretary Paulding.
Mr.. EX-Secretarv Poinsett IS chaIgeable with SINH

appointments to the Military Academy so that it is
difficult to say when there viii be room for n single
new cadet This surely small business for gen
lemen to engage IN, during the expiring hours OF their
official authority. Many mcriiurlous Young men, who
