A CANADIAN AMBAssApoR N WASHINGTON.
The Toronto Board of Trade suggests that
the Canadas should have an ambassador oon.
'stantly in attendance at Washington. In ar
guing the point. the Report says -
1t cannot be denied that great necessity ex-
lists for some active. intelligent and influential
representative Of the commercial interests of
Canada near the controlling power of the
United States-and that, under the rapid
growth and daily increasing importance of
our commercial relations with that country.
this necessity is every day becoming more
keenly felt We see and point out the want
leaving to the governments of this country
and Great Britain the task Of supplying the
remedy. Should the commercial men of Can
ada deem necessary. it will then be a matter
of consideration for the different Boards of
Trade throughout the Province whether sim
ply commercial delegate should be appointed.

The Issue.


The Black Republicans, having raised the
Neoraska issue, are now attempting to dodge
1t, since they have discovered that it is likely
to be decided against them. We intend
however, that they shall not blink the main
question. which they themselves have made a.
party issue; nor can we allow them to throw
dust IN the peoples eyes by misrepresenting
the real difference between them aud the De-
mocracy. That difference is this Demo-
Gratis are infavor of the principles of Popular
Sovereignty as embodied in the Kansas-Ne-
braska Bill--the right of the sovereign people
OF each State and Territory to establish and
regulate their own institutions, subject only
to the paramount authority of the Constitution.
The Republicans deny this great principle,
and insist upon making the people of the ter
titories the mere vassals of Congress, to take
their laws and institutions from the dictation
OF Congressional majority, which would taus
become to them an arbitrary, and, as its his
tory shows, most capricious tyrant
But, the Black Republicans are now endea-
voring to change and modify the issue Ex-
tension, OF Non-Extension, of iSlauery. say
they, is the great question for the popular de-
cision. Not so. Democrats are no more de-
slrous, than Republicans. that Slavery should
be extended into Territories now free. We

the popular sovereignty doctrine will be to
prevent by the most peaceable and effectual
means, the further spread of Slavery Even
the more candid of the Republicans now ad-
nit that Kansas win be Free State. But,
whether it will OF not, the principle is the only
correct, constitutional, and safe one that can
be applied. Let the people of each territory
decide for themselves, whether Slavery shall
be established among them Is not that fair
and just? Is it possible that they. who claim
to be the peculiar {. friends of freedom dare
not trust the people with the decision of this
great and vitality important question? 1t is
too true. The Republicans are afraid of the
people. The Republicans, like their proto-
types. the Wings and Federalists, are for cur
failing popular rights and privileges as far as
possible. This has always been the radical
difference between the two parties, since the
days of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas JEFF
ferson; and we wish the people to understand
clearly, that this is in form and substance the
great issue about to be tried between Democ-
racy and Republicanism.-H Washington Ec-

Sa- "Sarah Percval, or the Bride of the
House OF Gold, is the title of story going the
rounds of our southern exchanges, in the nature
of an advertisement for one of those spec linens of
literary trash so common in the North, called the
New York Ledger. A copy of the story was for.
wsrded to us with the request that it should be
inserted 10 our columns. As we were constrained
to decliue the fee thus rendered it is but fair that
we should give the Ledger the benefit of notice.
1t starts out with one important ingredient to sue
cess-impudence in asking southern papers to
humbug their readers with its advertisement. We
regard it as fair specimen of that literary namby
pAnbyism called "fsmily newspapers" with which
the North has for years been flooding the South.
Its columns are filed with desperate tales of love
and misunderstanding rhyme in mockery of the
Muses-the Iatast murders, seductons, railroad
disasters, and the like. The daily sweepings Of
every respectable newspaper Office would furnish
material for more interesting journal 1t is time
the people of the South were withdrawing, instead
OF increasing their patronage to such magazines
and journals.

OF The Richmond Enquirer says, "the South
never embraced Mr.. Buchanan as the instrument
OF slavery propsgsndism; they did not support
him with any idea that he was to be the exclusive
champion Of Houthern interests They supported
him upon the principles of the Cincinnati plat
form and the pledges of his public life. They
took him up as the man with whom to beat back
the invasion of Black Republicanism; and they
conhded in him because of his known moderation
OF temper and his fidelity to the compacts of the
Constitution. They expect of him wise and
impartial administration of the Cover nment."

for extracting oil from the seed Of cotton is already
in operation in Rhode Island and one or two com
psDies are forming in Boston with the object of
getting up similar establishments there. This is
an enterprise in which the South is greatly inter-
ested, promising, as il does to convert an article
hitherto worse than useless, into one of great
commercial valne."
If this is matter in which the South is greatly
interested, why can't the South get up few
extensive factories of her own, without ship
ping seed ell the way to Yankeelaud, there to be

There is considerable interest felt just now 10
relation to the Tennessee free bank money. 1t is
possible that there may be a wildcat concern
among the number of free banks in that State, but
it is also possible that all are sound. The Bank
of Chattanooga has been cried down and thrown
out of circulation, aud others have been affected
by the run made upon the Bank of East Tennes-
sec; but it viii be seen by the dispatch we copy
below, and by the card of Hutchings & Co., in our

as good as any in that State and will be redeemed
