Free Trade with Canada.

The Protection Journals, foremost among
which is the N. Y. Tribune, are publishing
elaborate articles in opposition 10 reciprocal
trade between the British Provinces aid the
United States.
By the following extract from speech
of Mr.. Ryker,, Of Lindon county, Canada
West, it will be seen that he aud the whole
Tory party OF Canada with him, opposed
free trade with this country for very differ
ent reasons from those assigned by the Tri.
bune and kindred prints:
".Another strong objection in my opinion
TO free trade with he United States, lsthat
NY wo'd become the natural outlet to the
ocean, hence the Americans would tecome
the common carriers Of our products, and
the cities of Montrt nd Quebec, and near
ly all our p .bIic Improvements become Com
para,ively a dead letter, and politically
speaking must hasten separation from
Great Britain, @where your treasure Is,
there will be your heart also. " IL our
