The interest of the lake trade and the northwest,

Commenting upon Mr.. Seymour's report the ~
Y. Herald very justly and perncntly says:
1t covers, every important interest Of the country
and every is directly connected with the system
proposed 1t would be difficult tell which would
be the most benefited indie pendent of adv antagcs
derived immediately from a reciprocal trade with a
country intimately connected with the most density
populated portion of the Union, II would remove the
political differences and difficulties existing
and prevent the creation If any questions invov-
i'm the two governments in disputes. 1t would do
away entirely with the necessity for treaties,
and place the policy ef the countries upon such
basis as would secure permanent peace 10 each. The
committee have gone deeply into the merits OF the
various points at issue. 1t has presented host Of
facts and figures to strengthen the taken, and
bic and reasonable, the result satisfactory, that it
will without doubt become the popular public
movement Of the day. That it will be adopted by
the party about coming into power, there is not the
shadow Of a doubt. 1t is in accordance with the
liberal principles Of President Pierce regarding our
commercial relations, and will, we trust, be made
prominent feature in his administration. The mer-
camille interest is deeply indebted to MIR. Seymour,
the Chairman Of the Committee Commerce, for
this able and important report. 1t must attract great
attention abroad. 1t conveys, throughout, such a
spirit of hberality, of concessonsuch disposition
TO recprocate, to the fullest extent, in all commercial
intercourse between American ports and those Of
British North America, that cannot fail to receive
the warmest support in Great Britain. We offer
everything that can be desired. We break down all
barriers, all Instructions trade wipe out all lines Of
separation distinction, and leave the vessels Of
each nation free to go and cone-free to in any
peaceable way-wthout restraint or restriction.-
This is free trade-ths is reciprocy-but it is not
in advance of the age. 1t is matter of necessity.
The geographical position Of the countries mmedi-
aely concerned in this matter requires such system
and they must have it, Its establishment will be
one Of the brightest and most important in the
administration OF President Pierce.
