TORONTO, Saturday Feb. 8, 1851.
The paramount question of public interest here
has been for some time, and still is, the Recpro-
city Bill now before Congress. Bat there hardly
survives a real hope that the measure will become
a law. Ia anticipation of its being passed over in
what may now be called the usual way, politicians
here are busy in discussing the future commercial
policy of Canada. The Montreal forwarders are
using their best endeavors to induce the Govern
ment to re-impose diderential duties against
American manufactures. There has always been
in Montreal a party favorable to the policy of
keeping up diferential duties, simply because
such an arrangement would advance the local in
terests of that city. But this party has seldom
been sufficiently powerful to command majority
in the Board OF Trade of that city, and except In
Quebec it had bat few allies. Upper Canada
knows its own interests too well ever to sanction
the imposition of diflerential duties. The Lower
Canada Representatives are omnipOtent In the
Legislature, simply because they all vote In
lump but they have no such interest In the city oil
Montreal as will be likely to cause them to sane
tion return to differental duties. 1t Is no likely
that the Cabinet will favor such policy, whatev-
er the Inspector General may find it convenient
to threaten. Mr.. Merritt undoubtedly In IA

sweep away our whole line of Custom Houses and
resort to direct taxation for the support of the
Government; and although it may eventually
come to this it is evident that we are not at pres
ent prepared for so bold step.
In previous letters very strongly expressed
the opinion that the Government would move to
Quebec after it had spent two years in this city.
That this view was correct, is now fully proved
bv the language of the Governor General, in reply
10 an address of the Grand Jury OF the Court OF
Queens Bench, on the subject Of the removal of
the seat of Government. His Excel!ency states
that it was understood, in the Cabinet, at the
time of the removal from Montreal in lS49 that
the frat move of the Government was to be only
for two years, whetherit should first 60 to Quebec
or Toronto that Quebec offered to take the first
turn with the short turn bat that 1t was resolved
to come first to Upper Canada for two years.
Railroad enterprises continue to be advocated
with great spirit. By common consent, all the
Municipalities along the line have resolved to aid
the construction of line from Montreal or Pres
colt to Toronto. A Railroad Convention is now
sitting in Kingston The following Municipalities
have resolved to subscribe the various amounts

more is an Abolilionst. We wish there
were more such Aboli'lonists IN the coun-
try. We regard Willard Fillmore as bet.
ter friend Of southern rights than Gov
Trousdale. All that Gov. Trousdale nigh,
talk against Abol,ionism, until doomsday,
would never have any influence with these
fanatics, except TO make them still more ia
na,lcal. NJ Hard Fillmore has acted i'm
spite of their threats he has moved steadily
forward IN the execution of law which
these AboliIionsIs vowed should not be ex
eculed, and the effect of this course has
been, to prove to fugitlves that Boston or
any other place at the north will afford
them no refuge from he law. and also to
prove TO the Aboilionists, thai there is "uo
terror IN their threats" If all Southern
men were such friends Of Southern rights
as Willard Fillmore has shown himself,
there would be no danger of the ultimate
peace OF The country, and the perpetuity Of
our institutions.

FROM WASHiNGToN.-Th correspondent
of the Charleston Courier writes as follows
under date of the l4,h:
Mr.. Webster has been nominated in n

understand, receive other country nomna-
tons in that State. Demonstrations in his
favor, as n Wing candidate, will be made
OF the North and in the West.
General Scott has, however, taken the
lead as the candidate of the Wing party;
but he will not probably keep it, The M
