that of free trade-a doctrine which was warm

Senators on the other side. would begin
where my friend from Connecticut (Mr Hunt
ingdon) took his start in the able argument sub
mitted by him in the Senate, and ask for de-
fnition of the phrase free trade What is
free trade! Does 1t mean trade between two
nations with freedom on the one side and all
scrts ofrestrictions on the other? Is that free
trade! Or does it mean trade with absolute
freedom!-that is,wiih no duties at all, or very
low duties, and strictly equal duties on both
sides. lfthat is the Senator's meaning, will
not stop to discuss the question. | should be
very glad to see universal freedom of trade
established over the face of the whole world;
but that is state of things which never has ex-
isted, and never will exist so long as mankind
are divided into different and independent ma
tons, existing in the four quarters of the
world; SO long as this is the case, each indivi-
dual nation has ever been found pressing its
individual interest, regardless, in comparison
of the interests of all the rest of the world.
But let us see what sort of free trade it is
which the Senator from South Carolina gravely
proposes to US, especially with Great Britain,
who is, and probably will continue to be, the
largest consumer of our native products.

SPRING.
1t comes, 1t comes, the Spring the Spring,
To cheer and beautify,
Then in one choir all join and sing
The Spring again is nigh.
Begone dull cares OF winter drear,
The Spring resumes her right,
To rulesono fourth the passing year.
While day succeeds the night
Awakei Awake We feathered tribes.
And each an offering bring,
Your winter garb nov throw aside
And hail the welcome Spring.
Ye PlOwman to your fields repair
The seedtime is nigh,
And of harvest don't despair,
The bow is still on high.
The gentle herd are turned away
To feed pastures green,
While by their side fleet and gay
Their fvorite young
The sportive lambs with rapid strides
Bounds DER the grassy lea
The twit 'ering swallow swiftly glides
Above in air ms free,
The speckled trout now darts along
The clear and liquid way,
The fsh-hawk high on pinions strong
Watches 10 take its prey.
While flowers begin to deck the lawn,
Each gale its zephyrs hing
And beauties DER the fields are drawn,
All, all, proclaim it's Spring.
All nature So drear and sad,
New life has now put on.
With robes of green and beauty clad.
Proclaim that winters gone.
We mountains and We wales proclaim
The glories of the Spring;
Yc woodlands and ye dales exclaim,
The joys the seasons bring. Miss C. J. C.

merce, made to the Home Industry Convention
in New York, the foreign tonnage engaged in
American trade has largely decreased within
the last fen years. 1t shows that the price of
