he freedom of the city of Glasgow was presented
to the Earl of Elgn the 4th of January, on which
occasion he made speech, from which we take the
following extract:
"In Portland, in the State of Maine had the
honor of being received as | am here to-day, and,
having been introduced by the mayor to the citizens,
the band struck up God save the Queen, and both
to my surprise and delight the audience stood during
the whole time the air was playing. We had dinner
after The meeting, and at that Dime! practice was
adopted which hope will this evening be honored
in the breach rather than the observance. We had
nothing TO drink our toasts to but water Among
those sentlments-fOr they are TOO wlshy-Tashy to
be called toasts-we had & Success TO the Allied
Armies have always thought that the most Sc

long that state of things exists you cannot prevent
some OF the American people from sympathising
with the diSaffected. Had we governed Canada as
Cuba has been governed, we would have found her
thorn, rather than being as she is, rose. After
the revolutionary committed to the Ameri-
cans, citizens of the United States the rights
of fishing the coasts of British North America as

the war, legal advisers decided that all treaties
were abrOgaed by the war, and that the United
States people must have a new treaty. We got a
new treaty, restricting their rights. The American
fishermen did not fancy being excluded from the
grounds which their ancestors had been admitted TO-,
| and went on fishing very much in the way they had
done before--not, of course without good deal Of
annoyance and interruption.
"Well, when this came up before the Govern
ments of the Colony and of the United States, the
latter showed great deal of ingenuity on the occa-
sion; they said they did moi construe the treaty the
same we did, and there was ingenious arguments
on the side to show that /" bays were bays and
ingenious arguments the other side TO show that

at last resolved to cut the matter short and blow the
trumpet of defiance and our friends of America is.

have plunged us into war at any moment
{" In 1854 all the products of the North American
Colonies were introduced into the markets of the
United States free of duty and the same terms as
