constantly conflicting governments. England and

procure the submission OF the Dominicans to

French SpOliatious.

We insert to-day the speech of Mr. SEWARD,
on the French spoliation bill which has now
passed the Senate. 1t is reply TO the spe, ch
of Mr.. HUNTER, which we published on Satur-
day-the two being the ablest on the SUI ject at
the present session of the Senate Mr.. SEW
ARDS speech is a stronger one than we expected
from him, and we think it well for the South to
be advised of the cabrc directed against her.
Messrs SEWARD, HALE, and CHASE, are all men
of talent and when reinforced from New York,
Ohio, and Massachusetts, will form strong
body of Free-soil agitators.
1t is in vain for the South to expect repose,
or any thing but continuous struggle. She
had better take the counsel of the minstrel
GO Now gallant Saxon bold thine own,
No maiden s arm il round thee thrown"
As for the spoation BILL it rests chiefly on
the assumption, that in the treaty of 1900 with
France, we received indemnity for these spolia-
tons, in the shape of n release from the obliga-
tons of our revolutionary treaty with France
And we think Mr. HUNTER has eircctua1ly
crushed that pretcnce.

On the platform presented on our first page,

Florida Senatorial Election.

inst, we extract the following statement of the
three las: ballottings for U. s. Senator, resulting
in the election of Mr.. MALLORY.
While, with the Fioridian, we cannot but re-
greet that the signal services and patriotic dcvo-
ton of Mr. YuLEE should have met with such a
return from the Representatives of the constitu-
ency he has served faithfully, are yet graft
fled authoritatively to learn, that his successor
is in every ,oay qualified to fill the came respon-
sibc post with honor to himself and to the
State Of Florida 1t will be seen that the in
formation previously given by us on this subject,
was substantially correct:

REPORT ON FEDERAL RELArIoSs:-We shall
publish in our next the report on federal rela-
tons made from the committee by Hon. Walker
Anderson in the Lower House. 1t is chiefly an
argument distinguishing the right of secession
from revolution, and in favor Of the former in
certain contingencies; but recommends acques-
cence in the Compromise measures. 1t recon-
mends preparation for those contemplated threat
ened events, and is accompanied by resolutions
recognizing the right of a State to seceds in
case Of violation of the federal compact, and a
bill for calling State Convention in certain con
tingencies Under all circumstances, the report
will be looked upon with favor, as moderate and
firm, whatever differences may exist as to the
legality of secession. Some portions of the
Compromise are, we think, too strongly and
wrongly characterized.

Opening of the Chambly Canal.

We believe we had the pleasure to make the
first public announcement, last Fall, Of the in
tenlion of the Canadian Government to deepen
the Chambly Canal, and otherwise increase its
capacity for business, during the coming
winter. By the courtesy of the gentleman to
whom we were indebted for that authentic in
formation, we are gratiied in being now able
to say that The cork is completed. THE CANAL
WILL BE OPENED, TOMORROW, the 18th inst,
and will contain seuea feet depth Of water, being
an enlargement of its capacity of forty per cent.
The importance of this improvement in the
facilities for the accommodation of the rapidly
growing trade between Lake CnampIain and
her big sisters of the West can scarcely be
over-estimated. Our shippers and business
men will appreciate it,
We think it due to undoubted merit to add.
that very great praise is due to the accom-.
pIislnd and energetic head Of the Canadian
Board of Trade, the Hon. HAMILTON MERRITT.

as other works, for the facitation of business

that strong petitions are in circulation through

this project, in favor of its being undertaken

Messrs. f. 81 JIG. SIMPSON, of Bath Maine,
are the Builders of this and another Tow b Dat,
the "JoHN HOWARD" which will be ready to
launch next week. 1t is no, ninety days since
the timber from which these boats were built
was standing in the forest, and we can furnish
no better evidence than this simple fact, of the
competency ard energy of the Messrs SIMPSON
as Ship Builders.
Messrs. BRAkEY e. CANFlELD have also
made arrangements with the new Steamer "Bes.

Extremes meet.

We have repeatedly said, as we have be-

been and will be as just to the actual consti-
