GEORGIA DISPLAYS HERSELF.

The Vermont resolutions, TO which we have
already had several occasions to refer, on the
extension of Slavery into Kansas, and the agrees
sons generally of the Slave power, have stirred up
the slave drivers as with long pole. No menagerie,
into the cages of which the keeper had unceremo-
niously thrust his stick, ever afforded specta-
Gle of more ferociOus swapping or concert of
more hideous grOwls. We have already chronicled
the savage reception Of those resolutions, and have
given a specimen of the hOwlngs they occasiOned
in South Carolina, in Virginia, in Alabama and
Mississippi. To-day Georgia shows her teeth.
The Governor in his special Message, which we
give in another column makes very cOmmendable
effort to command his temper, and to present some
show of rational behavior. But the members of
the House, throw off all regard for propriety
and seem entirely to forget that, to this matter
they are acting not on the little provincial stage of
Georgia, but in the eyes of the world, and before
public which will hold them to strict account.
Had they been at home on their own plantations,
surrounded only by trembling slaves, they could
not have given more striking exhibition of plan
tation manners, or Of the degree of decency or
selEcontrol to be expected of young men brought
up among negroes, and, as Mr.. Jefferson expressed
it, "nursed, educated aud daily exercised in
tyranny" Yet The Journal Of Commerce, we sup
pose prompt at apologies, will lay all the blame
on the Vermont Legislature for yenturng to rouse
up such irritable gentlemen by telling them word
or two of truth. A journal that undertakes to
excuse and to justify the BOrderR ufhan invasions
of Kansas is not likely to stick at anything else,
and were The Journal Of Commerce fair sample OF
Northern sensibility, the passion of the Georgia
Legislature would, no doubt, be quite eficacious in
frightening us all into silence aud submission.
The Governor of Georgia attempts to defend the
Federal Administration against the charge of sub
seryiency 10 the Slave Power ana allowing itself to
be prostituted to the extension of Slavery. And
The defense is much like that which might be
made by other seducers for other prostitutes
Not solitary instance can be adduced," says
the governor, sin which the Slaveholding States

FIRTHER RECIPROCITY.

We publish to-day report and memorial oil the
New-York Chamber of Commerce addressed to
Congress asking for a more complete reciprocity
of trade with Canada. The proposition OF the
Chamber is to throw open the coastlng trade
on the lakes as well as TO abolish all du-
ties on products. This is much more like recl-
procity than is established by the miscalled reel
procity treaty with Canada. We have opposed this
treaty on the ground that while it admitted into
our markets all that Canada and the lower prov
inces produced it excluded from Canada very
important portion of the products OF the United
States. An extension OF the principle OF reclpro'
eity therefore cannot be TO our disadvantage. On
this ground therefore we shall be glad TO see the
proposition of the Chamber Of Commerce carried
out The trade between US aud Canada under the
late treaty for the past year, shows balance oil
=, 600 900 against US, our domestic produce car
RED thither amounting TO $40, 100000, and our i'm
ports of Canadian produce being So, 900, 900 in
round numbers We never had any doubt that the
balance of trade under reciprocity treaty would
be against us. We are glad to find it is no greater
We have no doubt that our case would be i'm
proved BY a system Of entire reciprocity, unless 1t
should result in the Illicit introduction of British
manufactures, pontit seems to us needing special
guards.
As regards the opening of the lake cOastng trade
advocated by the memorial, there may be room for
question. Whether such an arrangement would
not result in inequality of advantages cannot be so
readily determined as the other point made in the
memorial. We are not inclined, however, 10 lay
much stress upon this matter. Our theory OF pro-
lection looks mainly to the education OF the labor
of the nation up to the point of maturity in every
branch Of industry. When this has been thoroughly
done we are disposed to leave the race to the
swiftest Thus while we urge protection in many
branches of infant partially established manu-
features we are not inclined to be urgent 30 far as
our Shipping interest is concerned. Through
rigid policy of protection it has fOurished abund-
anty until now it stands proudly out as our great
national speciality. That porton'of our popula-
ton engaged in the building and navigating of ships
having graduated with all the honOrs, the time
when we shall be ready to pit them against the
world, where we can have equal advantages, can
not be distant

HORsE-RACTNG,

is kept in order in the same way that Sing Sing
prison is; by an omnipresent and overwhelming
authority. In this country where the people are
FESTIVE under the over-rule of the musket or the
mace, a race-cOurse is q rude carnival where evil
triumphs The scenes we have had to recount of
the vice and brutality at such places, and their d.
vergence even to Boston Corner, the railroad cars
and the highooy, for more than hundred miles,
being surrendered to lawless gangs-are familiar
to our readers.
NoseitEr sOciis; YOU are known by the company
you keep. The Herald has discovered that toe
farmers of Queens County desire to retain their
race-course, and are opposed to the bill now be-
fore the Legislature prohibiting hOrseracing there;
and Mr. Sickles, in the Senate, also stands up for
"the turf" This latter learned authority on
horses has found out that racing is alnall to The
brood Of that noble animal. Let not the Legisla-
ture be misled. for both journal and Senator are
wrong.
Ii Is, we Affirm, not true that the farmers Of
Queens County desire TO retain the race-course.
We learn just the contrary, from farmer Of nearly

then very few were concerned, except as specta-

The evidence thus far is confined to the case OF

the Marshal and his officers broke in the doors to
make the arrest might be considered to justify the

settle that question. Mr.. Gaines, meanwhile, in
attempting to recover these people has lost four
others, who have taken advantage of his absence
from home to set out on their travels to Canada.
