THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

The Toronto Canada WesD Globe Of the 2lst
of August says:
As we understand the terms the assent Of all the Pro-
vncial legislatures and also Of the Imperial Parlia-
men is necessary in order to carry the treaty into effect
The following s the clause in the treaty which provides
for this:
"The present treaty take effect as soon as the laws
required TO Cary into operation shall have been pass
by the lmperisl Parliament Of Great Britain and by
1.-THE Provincial Raaments Of those of the British
American Co1eA pkich affected by this treaty
the one hand and the Congress Of the
on the other,"&c
In Canada we shall havs the necessary measure pass
ed probably within rsOnth and possibly may be
passed through the Imperial Parliament before it ad.
ourns The Lower Prosnce Legislatures will probably
take more time. We do not hear Of any movement to
call extra sessions for the purpose of legsng on the
subject. InNew Brunswick there will in oil likelihood

NEW YORK POLITICS..

Judge GREENE G. BRoNsoN has yielded to the
opportunities Of the " Hardshelp committee to be-
come the candidate Of that party for the Guberna-
torial chair Of the Empire State In doing SO he
says that although his personal feelings were still
averse to an acceptance, he would longer oppose
his own wishes to those Of his political friends, and
that he leaves himself in their hands"
It is yet uncertain whether Governor SEYMOUR
will consent to denomination by the "Softs"
The Wings will have candidate, the Freesoii party
one and the Maine liquor law men are also wait
ing the signs Of the times to see whether it is worth
while to start candidate Thus there may be fue
candidates in the field for the November election.
The Commercial Advertiser considers the nom-
nation of Judge BRONSON as an evidence Of the
earnest and irreconoilable hostility of his party to
the Administration, and adds:
II there is any party left ia New York which seems
to sustain the Administration is simply owing to the
restraints Of Executive patronage the personal influence
Of Secretary NANCY and the force of which
has thrown the Van Burcn men into position where

POLITICS IN PENNSYLVANIA.

The Democratic State Central Committee of Penn
sylvania have issued third address to the people.
Whether they mean to continue series Of +ad-
dresses whether they have found it necessary to
modify their views unable at present to state
but significant fact stands forth prominently in
the last bulletin, namely, that " the manner of or
ganzing the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas is
not necessarily an issue in this contest" Yet the
committee find it necessary to make some excuse
for the measure, well to prove that it will not
lead to the introduction Of slavery into the new Ter
rtories. What is this but an attempt to propitats
the anti-slavery sentiment of Pennsylvania?
