GROGAN DISCHARGED.

The acting Governor of Canada being of
opinion thct discretion is the better part of
valor," ordered Grogan to be instantly released
and he was accordingly conducted to the
lines on Monday evening, and set at liberty.
Report says that he was furnished with new
suit of clothes, and some other compensation
IN pecuniary point of view, but of this we
are not well assured. Certain it is, however,
that the Colonial authorities were anxious to
get rid oftheir customer and have been prompt
in disavowing the act. So far well. But
what course will they pursue in reference to
the perpetrators Will they be arrested and
held to answer for the high handed outraged
We shall see. But in the mean time, will
not our authorities make a demand for
the surrender of the miscreants, to be
tried and punished by the laws they have
so wantonly outraged! They should do so
without delay, and sternly insist upon it,
There can be no difficulty in identifying the
perpetrators. The Montreal authorities know
from whose hands they received Grogan, and
his keepers of course knew who were his cap
tors. Let those individuals be held to answer.
The British Government arors the act with
which M'Leod stands charged, and upon that
ground claims an immunity for him; but in this
case the Government expressly disarops the
act, admits its enormity, attempts to make
restitution to the individual sufferer; and of
course, upon the same principle that it claims
M'Leod, should surrender the kidnappers of
Grogan.
We know nothing of Grogan-we care
nothing about him individually. But if one
individual may be kidnapped and imprisoned
by British authorities for supposed offence,
so may another, and another: and if such a
band of rufians upon our border are to escape
punishment, under the mere ''disavowal," of
the constituted authorities of Canada, then is
the condition of our frontier inhabitants de-
plorable indeed, and the protection which the
government pledges to the humblest citizen,
indeed an idle song.-Bur. Free Press.

THE NEW SECRETARY OF WAR.

John c. Spencer, the accomplished Secre-
tary Of State for this State, has been invited
by the President to take charge of the War
Department, and, os we understand, has ac-
cepted the appointment thus rendered. The
eminent abilities of Mr.. Spencer are so well
known and so universally acknowledged in
this State, that here, at least, nothing need be
said in justification of this appointment.-It
speaks its own praise. Mr.. Spencer carries
with him into the War Department talents of
the highest order, habits of the most indefati-
gable industry, and mind enriched by long
study and strengthened by constant exercise.
In his public career, not now short or unevent-
full, he has won the respect of his political OPP
ponents aad secured the esteem and admiration
of his friends. Uniting, as he does, the quail
ties of profound jurist, an accomplished
scholar, and distinguished Statesman, the
People of New York have reason to be proud

People of the Union TO congratulate them
selves that this important Department of the
General Government has fallen into such
able hands, AID Daily Adu.
