The President replisd:
Tr0uhleS In Canada,

The recent proposition Of the Provincial Min
istry TO make compensation for alleged losses
sustained in the rebellion Of 1897 has produced
political fermentation quite equal to the rebel
lion itself.
The Tories in Sandwich, opposite Detroit,
lately called a meeting which resulted in'gath-
crng the largest crowd ever assembled there.
The Tories were routed and Liberal measures
adopted by large majorllics.
Large meetings are being hell in all parts Of
Canada by the Liberals" to sustain the gov.
ernment, and by the "Loyalisls" to express in
dgnation. The meeting in Montreal was at
tended by 1000 people. Violent resolutions
were carried, and the ground boldly taken by
the "Loyaists," that resistance to the measure
(paying the rebellion losses) at all hazards, was
the duty of all loyal men. The Montreal
Herald says that the day on which this meeting
was held, will be ''the day from which the iu-
ture historian may date the emancipation of the
British CoIoniss frem the imposition of foreign
laws and foreign masters"
The public men in Canada are speaking out
boldly, and in defiance Of the Home Govern
ment. The result is easily loreseen, and we
concur with the Detroit Advertiser, whose prox-
unity enables them 10 Judge underslandingly
that independence or annexation TO the United
States will be the Ultimate, and we are inclined
to think inevitable destiny of the British Pro.
vincos upon this continent. The limo of lis
consummalon may be near, or it may be re.
mote, but the indications are thatIt will not long
be avoided. Gin. Gar.

drawn up in accordance with the memorial

Wicked Attempt 10 Imp0Se foul Deception
upon the PeOple---The Ohio Sl1tsmaR
turned PettlfOgger.
The Statesman, few days ago, under the
head Of An Important case in point attempted
10 show that the case Of Gen. Shields, in the
Senate Of the United States. who was admitted
10 provisional seat in that body, pending the
contest upon the validity Of his elseIiOn, was
precisely the case Of Messrs. Pugh and Pierce
in Hamilton county. Ohio. Ii says:
..General Shields, Of Illinois, il was stated,
was ineligible from fact OF want Of natural
ization, having been born 10 ireland. The
question arose as TO the Elect Of a certificate OF
election from the proper officer, and II was
unanimously decided, that previous to inves'iga-
lion OF the matter, the certificate was Prima
racie evidence Of right to a seat, and Gen.
Shields was sworn in accordingly, to abide the
investigation"
The dishonesty Of the Statesman consists in
its keeping out Of view this fact: Gen. Shields
was admitted to his seat, because he had primd
tacie right to it, derived from certificate Of eiec'
ton in accordance l1iih fhe laD ~ der ishieh Il
puported to hare been issud. Messers. Pugh
& Pierce, on the contrary, presented certificates
which loere not in accordance iciih, but contrary
10 The IaV under which they purpored 10 have
been issued,
ltwas the certificate and the lav, which made
Gen. Shields prima facie right; it was the GER
ifcaie against The lav which rendered the
claims Of Pugh and Pierce illegal. So that in
stead Of the decision of the U. S. Senate being
against the action of the Wings of the Ohio Leg
isature, il, in fact, confirms it.
Four weeks in the Legislature Of Ohio, were
spent in a bold, ferocious, unconstitutional and
unfortunately successful attempt to force upon
the Legislature Of Ohio two members, claiming
seats in conravention of the very law by which
the seats were created. The foul wrong by
which a whole State was, n effect, DISTINGUISHED
was al length consummated, by the aid Of fou
treachery. Every element of political wrong
crime and treason, was invoked, and force anC
threats of bloodshed and civil war were openly
made, in lurherance of private plot and bargain
Whether the party that has been thus guilty il
eyes oc God, and disgraced in the sight of hu
mainly, will succeed in rendering its power per
poIual, remains to be seen. There is yet some
thing to be hoped for in the acts of our intelli
gent peoPle-something TO be prayed for al IN
throne Of merciful Creator.

Case OF Gen, Shields,

The committee appointed to examine into the
eligibility, on the 18th inst. The General made
a speech in which he prolessed a willingness TO
abide by the decision of the Senate.
On the l4lh inst, MIR. Calhoun moved to a
mend the resolution in relation to the eligibility
Of the General TO a seat in the Senate, by ad-
ding that General Shields was ineligible at the
commencement of the term for which he was
elected. This motion elected long debate.
Mr.. Shields then offered letter resgnng his
seat.
Mr.. Webster objected. If Ineligible to a
seat in the Senate he had no power TO resign it.
On the 18th the Seuale resumed the conside-
ration Of the case of Gen. Shields.
Aller somewhat plotracled debate, the res
oution of the committee, as amended by Mr.,
Calhoun, that Mr.. Shields was Ineligible, was
adopted.
The Vice President was then requested tc

THE INAUGURAL.-This admirable address
needs no word of commentator from US. It's
the auspicous commencement of an admins
tration which we anticipate is one of the puresI
and best we have ever had. The address is in
all respects what we expected from Gen. Tay-
lor. One part of it especially pleased us-the
declaration that the Executive would look for
the Interpretation of the Constitution 10 The Ju.
diciai Tribunals c iabHShed by lis authority.
For the first time, we believe, this genuine re-
publican doctrine has been distinctly announc-
ed by President as Il correct principle in the

The PRESIDENTS lNAUGURAL-The brevity

raj address arc so striking that il would seem to
be almost superduous to make a single remark
upon il. BuI we cannot restrain the impulse to
express our qualification at its matter and tenn.
per. Ii is imbued with the true principles o(re-
pubicOnism, and bears the impress of The hand
of Statesman, Patriot and a Christian. The
expositions we have so often, heretofore, and
even no longer ago than yesterday, given of
his political sentiments, are now corroboraIed
and confirmed by his first official act. The in
augural is thoroughly Wing in sentiment and
spirit. While he pledges himself for faithful
performance Of his Executive duties enjoined
by the Constitution, he will leave to Congress
the appropriate duty of shaping the domestic
policy of the country.
The friends Of Republicanism, Civilization,
and Christianity will rejoice as we do at the ad-
mirable sentiments Of President Taylor on the
proper mode of preserving peace snd settling
difficulties with other Powers. The old warrior

GooD.-lt is "Paramcntary"--it is formal
it is regular-for the u. S. Senate, after its
organization, to send a committee TO the Pres-
dent and inform him thai they are "now ready"
TO receive any communication he may wish to
make. But General Taylor was Justly called
"ready," and it seems that President Taylor is
equally so-lor no sooner had the Senate met,
than the President, like man Of business, dis
patched Col Bliss to them with the Cabinet
nominations, &c. After while, according to
custom, the Senate committee appeared before
the President at the White House, and formally
addressed him as follows:
"Mr. President, am directed 10 inform you
that the Senate Of the United States has organ
lied, and is prepared to receive any communi.
cation you may desire to make"
To which "Old Zack" made the following
brief aud "ready" reply.
