taken up, and the amendment of Mr.. SoULE-
that the Territories may be admitted as States,
with or without slavery, as their respective
constitutions may prescribe-was adopted by a

certain whether the Secretary of the Treasury

made to suspend the rules for the purpose of in

This statement shows that the trade is all
from Canada in the articles that it is proposed
shall be admitted free Of duty
Ii is understood that the free navigation of
the river St. Lawrence is offered as an induce
ment for the admission free Of duty of the pro
duce Of Canada.
We are advised that, at the present time,
the charges on flour, embracing freight, insur-
ance, storage, commissions, &C., are, from Lake
Ontario to Liverpool, 81 20 per barrel, bv way
of Montreal and the river St. Lawrerc;e; and IS
cents per barrel by way of oswego and the city
of New York
The charges on wheat and other articles bear
relative proportion, except the difference pro
duced by the superior facilities Oswego has
over Montreal for elevating grain by water
power.
To these differences between the two routes
tending TO divert Canadian and western produce
from the channel of the st. Lawrence, may be
added the important consideration OF choice OF
markets afforded by the Oswego route, and the
fact that for sepen months in the year the navi-
cation of the ST. Lawrence is closed OF rem
dered extra hazardous by ice.
We propose to collect and lay before our
readers, at an early day, all the statistical in
formation on these interesting subjects that may
be within our reach.
