CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

Hon. John Young, one of the Executive
Councillors, on reslgning his office, on the
18th, addresses letter to the Provincial Sec
rotary, in which he touches upon the proposed
retaliatory policy. His views are nearly the
same with those set forth by US the other day.
He thinks it will only have the effect of dri-
wing away the Western trade, and sending it
all, by the lakes and railroads, to New York,
and that it will add greatly to the cost Of all
the artic les which we furnish them, which are,
in fact, nearly all they use. He thinks it
would be better to open the St. Lawrence,
abolish agricultural duties, start u reciprocal
trade with the British West In 1ies, and con-
struct canal to connect the St. Lawrence
with Lake Champlain. Having always been
a free trade. man, he cannot consent to enter
upon the retaliatory policy.
Mr.. Young read this letter, and the accep-
lance thsreupon, and followed with a speech,
in which he stated that the whole exports of
Canada very little exceeded .El,000,0OU ster
ling, while the articles Imported from the Uni.
ted States alone, and which are necessaries,
amount TO largely upwards Of 100000. The
people of the upper province paid, last year,
t4o,OOO. at the present rates, and as they
were obliged to have the commodities, the
tax on the consumer would be enormously in
creased by the proposed policy. The opening
of the St. Lawrence would attract an enor-
nous trade, and soon render Canada ndepen-
dent ofAmerica.
P. S.-Since the above was written, we
find the following in the New York Journal of
Commerce
RECIPROCITY rs. RETALIATIoN.-The To
ronto Colonist denouncss the proposed system
of monopoly and retaliation" in respect to
the United States, and says that Upper Canada
will not submit to have its interest thus sacri-
feed. "Our trade w 18th the United States (says
the Colonist has assumed an importance that
cannot now be subjected to artificial impedi-
ments without producing serious consequence
to ourselves and the Government will be
bold. indeed, that will attempt to sacrifice the
commercial and agricultural interest of one
half OF Canada in tile way proposed"

MANCHEsTER.-A visit to Manchester few days
ago, exhibited to some recent improvements in
that ancient village. Some new houses have lately
been erected, aud others have had new and bright
face put upon them; the streets in better con.
dltion than formerly and stores and workshops ap-
pear to have increased and to be doing more live
ly business than usual STILL Manchester is not
what it ought to be. Il has not kept pace with its
neghbor, Richmond, in growth and prospect
ty, as conceive it should have done. And The
question naturally arises-Why has it not? 1t pos
all the advantages, if not more, for town,
than enjoyed by Richmond; the country trade
from the South eide is equal to that of the North
side; the water advantages, believe, are great
er than those of the Richmond side; at least one
hat of the river easily be commanded for the
Of mills ana manufactures there; the location
is desirable for manufacturing establish
ments as well as a charming one for town; it
has better facilities for communication with the
shipping at Rockets &c, &c. And yet, Manches
ter has been languishing while Richmond has been
increasing in size ami prosperity with astonishing
repidity. We, however, predict that and
bright destiny will soon open upon Manchester
1t has all the advantages which give it to
make it rival of its namesake in England, and
the time is not distant, we prophesy when these
advantages will be properly appreciated, and when
enterprise and capital will go there to make it a
large and hourshing town. These advantages, in
deed. are already being appreciated Some of our
citizens and capitalists have recently turned thei:
attention in that way, and have bought lots far the
purpose of improving them; aud we have no doubt
they viii find iheir investments most profit
able speculation Here we think we can see the
beginning of better state of things for Manches-
ter. The example of few enterprising men is all
that is wanting to give start and impetus to i'm
provements and prosperity; and our surprise is,
that capitalists and enterprise have been slow in
finding their way there. Nothing but whim and
fashion have operated against the growth and pros
perity of Manchester. 1t has been fashionable to
build and reside in Richmond, although often done
by the sacrirce Of pecuE larry interest This fashion
is now about to change. Moreover, the time is not
distant when Manchester and Richmond will be
closely united by free bridge and thus an.
other obstacle removed to the prosperity Ct both
places. Manchester if few enterprising people
will it, not only be in trade the rival of its
English namesake, but it can also be for desirable
private residences, to Richmond what Brooklyn is
to New York. We hope to live to see it occupy the
position it deserves.
