The RECIPROCITY BUSINESS WITH CANADA
a couple Of columns elsewhere are devoted |
opinions from Western journals on the propose
reciprocity treaty with Canada. Lord Elgin

We don't think his lordshp has done il mud HI

the Canadian premier Mr.. Hincks; but nobod
except himself ever had the slightest idea tn
it would pass through Congress. To say to
admit our produce free, while we tax yo,
manufactures-was rather cool proposition

struggles they gradually went out Of existence
as party. In Philadelphia county, they have
occasionally exhibited much vitality, particu-
larly in local elections They have also had
an organization in Camden, New Jersey, and
some parts Of Massachusetts, but their further
history as party is scarcely worth following.
They have never been able to show much
strength in the interior, where the foreign po-
pulation is inconsiderable.
We should have mentioned, that at the Pre-
sidential election of lS18 the native Ameri-
cans co-operated with the wings in supporting
Taylor and Fillmore. Their votes were re-
quisite to give the wing candidates the electo-
raj vote Of Pennsylvania, without which Tay-
Tor and Fillmore could not have been elected.
1t remains now to be seen what may be the
effect of the secret organization of "Know-
Nothings,"- which differs from any former
association of native Americans from the fact
of their secresy, and perhaps some new and
efficient plan of operations heretofore unknown
in politics, but which it is not probable can
long escape the scrutiny of politicians opposed
to them, particularly of those who have hitherto
depended on the votes of naturalized citizens
10 acquire power.

KANSAS AND NEBRAsKA-THE EMIGRATION
SysEME--The Nebraska bill divides the vast
region west of Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota
into two observation-disclosures and Nebraska.
The first lies directly west of Mssouri and as
the eastern end Of this Territory is reported to
be already occupied by several Shareholders
with their slaves, it is perhaps eligible for .
more extensive introduction of slave labor.
The Territory of Nebraska, on the other hand,
most likely will never be invaded by Southern
man as a settler with his slaves Its geographic
cal position, soil and climate, render it una
valuable for slave labor. The contest, therefore,
between the Northern abolitionists and the
South will be limited to the Territory of Kal !:
sas, lying directly west Of the slaveholding
State Of Missouri. Doubtless the ferment which
las been excited by the Kansas-Nebraska bill
will give a mighty impulse to the abolition
emigrating societies; and the murder committed
by the abolition mob at Boston will also ope-
rate to stir up the movement for the abolition
supremacy Of Kansas.
Thus, from the very excitement raised upon
the subject, we shall probably have both Kan
sas and Nebraska as rapidly populated
as was California upon the discovery Of
the gold mines. And why not? Suppose
all the abolitionists and all the abominable
outside soeialistic and infidel societies of the
North, male and female, black, white, and yell
low, with oil their leaders and all their jour
mails, should move out in body TO the occu-
patton OF kansas--would it not be great re-
lief to Massachusetts,, New York and other
States! Remember what nuisance thc 20
lygamy loving Mormons were in New York,
Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, in succession, ua-
iii they finally emigrated into the Salt Lake
Territory, all to themselves Kansas is open
TO all parties, and if the abolitionsts make 1t q
free State BY dint of emigration and settlement,
50 he it, The South are fairly warned Of their
intentions, and if they lose the prize, it viii be
according to the will OF the people. Let the
fre-eaters of the South especially, look to it,
or before another year is over their heads they
will be ruled out Of Kansas by the abolition
pressure Of "squatter sovereignty" Hurry
up the squatters.

REVOLUTION IN CUBA.--One Of our all
slavery contemporaries gave us last week
startling account Of an existing revolution
Cuba. Our latest authentic advices, on Il
contrary, represent the island to be about
tranquil as usual Wall street, however, hi
not even for an hour been affected by Il
Slievegammon intelligence Of our despera
neighbor. Exclusive war news in either Of o.
Seward journals, ever since that bloody bait
in Ireland, goes for what it is worth. When
revolution does break out in Cuba, the new
will not be limited to the free soil organs.

THE NEBRASKA BM.L-Tnn NEW YoRK SoFr
SHE'LL DEMOCRACY AND THE ADMINISTRATION
WuAr's IN THE WrND?-We published yester
day morning some highly interesting telegra-
phic information from Washington, concerning
the stand which the Administration, since the
passage of the Nebraska bill, had resolved to
take in reference to the Van Buren, free soil
office-holders. They are to be measured by the
iron bedstead of the Nebraska bill Such as
are too long are to be made head shorter, and
such as are too short are to be stretched to the
proper length, and are then to be cast over
board. If this programme Of sound consistency
with the Nebraska bill is carried out, there will
be a terrible execution among the office-hold-
ers; for the free sellers, down to this moment,
are enjoying the lions share Of the plumber.
We are informed that the work is to begin
with the decapitation of our Collector, Post
master, and other soft shells Of notorious free
soil antecedents. John Cochrane, the Surveyor
of the Port, because he is charged with the
safe keeping of the Scarlet Letter, is to be ia
vored with free pardon, and another free pass
to Syracuse in September next. Such are our
reports from Washington, Of the latest party
programme adopted in Kitchen Cabinet council
-Forney, Paul R. George, Nicholson and others
(making full quorum) being present. But,
as seeing is believing we caution the hard shells
not to be over sanguiue in their expectations,
for in a single day the whole complexion of
things may be changed, as was the position Of
the administration upon the Nebraska bill
itself.
Meantime the Euening Post and the Albany
ATLAS, (see our article from the latter, which
we publish to-day,) the leading organs of the
free soil administration branch Of the democra-
tic party are scarcely surpassed in their violent
denunciations of the Nebraska bill by the
Seward organs themselves. Now. will the ad-
ministration cut adrift from these seditious
journals and their free foil abolition partsans,
or will it still retain in favor the Buffalo party,
and hold all others to the new platform Of the
Nebraska bill? The abolition faction which sup
ports The Post and the .anas are still fattening
upon the spols-in the Cabinet, in the diploma
lie corps, in the Custom House, and in many
other fat Offices, at home and abroad. What is
the policy of the administration upon the Ne
braska platform: We should like to hear from
the Washington Union on this subject We
have no faith in the promises of the KitcL-
en- Cabinet, unless they are confirmed by
some positive action. Which is the confidential
organ Of Gen. Pierce for New York--the
Eoenng Post or The Albany Atlas?
