The Washington Star gives the follow

have assumed the shape of triangu-
lar fight, between the friends of the
great original, from the House, those
of Mr.. Hunters bill, and those Of Mr..
Browns amendment. When they sepa-
rated yesterday, matters wore the appear
ance Of much more speecbifying upon it.
Indeed such was the condition of things
there exhibited. as to generate the very
general impression that the whole Home
stead question must go over to the next
session, or that it could hardly fail to send
over most of the really important public
business yet to be disposed of in their
chamber. Noui verrons."
The correspondent of the Baltimore
San gives the chances of the Homestead
thus:
"The Homestead is still the theme of
orators in the Senate. Among the best
speeches for the bill, as it came from the
House, was that of Mr.. Weller, who de-
nounced, in most eloquent and emphatic
terms, every ism in the land, and supper
ted the original bill. The danger to the
bill which is about to be slaughtered, is
from its soi-aisantfriends who have amend
ments to propose. The bill is to be
killed by these riders" ..
THE RECIPROCITY TREATY-We have
to assure the thousands of distant readers
of the Star, that the New York Herald S
prognostigations of the eventful defeat OF
the Canadian treaty, are unfounded.
AS for the treaty in question, it is ex-
ceedingly popular with the members of
Congress, because it proposes to certainly
remove every possible existing cause OF
misunderstanding between this Govern
ment and Britain, and thus to insure the
much longer continuance of the state of
peace under which we are leaping SO rap
idly to the first place among the nations,
in agriculture, the useful arts, and foreign
commerce.
Itinvolves an approximation to our sys-
tenn of inter State commerce in our future
commercial relations with the Canadas,
bidding fair greatly to increase the mar
kets for thousands of our staples, and to
secure for US many thing, which we may
have on better terms than they are now
obtainable by our people. We are with
out space to-day in which to enter into a
review of the details of this most impor
tant convention. We may not, however,
fail to remark, that many of those of the
North who who have been the most strin-
gent protectionists, having at length real
lied that the true policy of the United
States is the extension of our commercial
relations-foreign markets-in all quar-
ters of the globe, are among the most
earnest advocates of the confirmation of
this treaty, on the avowed ground that the
necessity for protection" has passed, and
that for foreign markets is fairly upon US.
Among the queer objections to the treaty
which have been mooted on the Avenue,
is that its confirmation will interfere with
the demand of North Carolina timber =
This is nonsense. The timber of the
Canadas is SO essentially different from
that of North Carolina, that they cannot
come into competition with each other
The increased demand for North Carroll
ma naval stores, to grow out of free trade
with the Canadas, will be worth as much
to that State as any other State in the
Union will realize from this proposed
change in our system Of commercial inter-
course with the British North American
Colonies. The manner in which business
is transacted in the Senate, owing to the
want of rule to enable the majority to
order question to be put, bids fair to in
terfere greatly with the final action upon
many most important measures ere the
end ofthe present session; and, it may be
upon this, though we sincerely hope not
