THE OBJECTS OF LORD ELGIN IN VISITING THE CAPT
TAL--REcIPRoclTY OF TRADE WITH CANADA-TEM-
FER OF THE ANTI-NEBRASKA MEN. ETC.
WASHINGTON, May %, 1854.
We incidentally mentioned yest rday opinion that
Lord Egn's visit here not conr eced with our rea
tions with Spain in any way. day enabled to
state that this opinion is confirmed He comes here
solely with reference to the conclusion of treaty ar
ranging the northeastern fishery question: and If poss
Bile to aid in eectng reciprocal trade between the Br
tish Colonies and the United States by treaty Mr. Chan
dler, commissioner from New Brunswick accompanies
him, does also Mr. Hincks the head of the Canadian
cabinet We doubt very much If Lord Egin will be able
to effect the reciprocity 1t has been press
ed with great ability by Mr. Crampton the British min
ste and Lord Egn bring new arguments to bea,
upon the subject The Executive is of opinion that In
matter which might materially affect our revenue.
and which would work considerable change in our tariff
regulations it is advisable the Legislative branch OF
the government should be consulted He s therefore
disposed to leave the subject of reciprocal trade with
Congress- rather than to avoid the action of the House
OF Representatives by calling in the aid Of the treaty
making power alone.
This also Mr. Fllmore's view Of the case and it
is scarcely probable democratic administration will be
found desirous of avoiding legislative action, when
whg administration hesitated in doing SO.
n
proper bifor reciprocal trade with the British North
American colonies II supposed that the South would
object TO III but there is data to base any such sup
position upon Heretofore reciprocity bills have failed
solely because of the bungling manrer in which they
were advocated
Lcrd Elgn will probably remain here for week or ten
days.
The opponents of the Nebraska bin take their defeat
pretty good naturedly is supposed both houses will
adjourn over in few days for the purpose of taking up
carpets ETC. Nothing viii therefore be done next week.
SENATOR BROWN AND THE ADAIHIsTR TION-JUDGE
DOUGLAS TO DE DENOUNCEp, ETC.
The Union this morning attacks Senator Brown, of
i-sinn for his speech against the insane veto me
sage. 1t is well understood a.. a,,..,
have gladly ayailed themselves Of this opportunity
attack Governor Brown, who had rendered himself
noxous to the Secretary of War by refusing after
ceving the democratic nomination for Senator, to be
bought off by the Havana consulate to make
for Jefferson Davis. Governor Brown, high minded
man spurned with contempt the offer to bbe him. ani
hence the bitterness of the organs attack.
Now that the Nebraska bill has PASSED. it is said that
Judge Douglas is to be denounced by the administration
presses try and detract from his position the
sole author of that message 1t will be futile. All the
administration did TO permit themselves reluctantly
to be driven into its support To Judge Douglas belongs
all the credit.
