How IL sfrikes others.


We copy below The comments of the To-
ronto Globe, one Of the ablest papers of the
continent. upon Mr.. Buchanan's letter and
its monstrous doctrines. If these doctrines
are to be allowed by the people to prevail,
our Canadian neighbOrs may well triumph
over us, for among them slavery is neither
sectional nor national, but has no place what
ever; while here the chief magistrate of the
people, and Che head and exponent of a
great party, declares the accursed, evil
bringing institution to be national. The
Globe says:
We publish to-day two remarkable doc
uments-one a memorial of certain Amer
ican citizens, distinguished for their learn
ing and piety, to the President of the Uni
ted States, In behalf of freedom, not for
the black, but for the white men of Kanzas.
The other, the reply of that high function
ary. denying the prayer of the nlemorialists,
and affirming the new doetrine-the start
| ling paradex-that republican freedom and
human bondage are synonymous in terms
and identical in fact; that like Siamese twins,
they always go togetherl Slavery accord
ing to the President is National; freedom
local and exceptional. Every foot of Amer
lean territory, Kanzas, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Washington, Utah, Oregon-belongs
to slavery, but conquered for freedom !
Wherever the stars and stripes wave, there
unless expressly forbidden by local au-
thority-the bondsman bares his back to the
lash, and the bondswoman crouches before
her icentious master! This is President
Buchanan's reading of the Constitution Of
the United States Thank God, there is
yet small part of the continent to which
this liberty does not extend. If the Brit
ish Parliament will but do its duty when
the great question of North Western Eman-
cipation comes before it, we shall be able to
say that our half of the continent is un-
touched by the curse of slavery. This lu-
cid exposition of the blessings which the
United States Constitution confers, should
induce every friend of humanity to resist
its extension. Let it be forever confined tc
It's present limits. Especially let it not ex'
tend It's hateful power over single foot ot
that western territory which, if not wholly
free, is subject to no legal task master, and
which God and nature proclaim to be the
fit home for millions of free men.

Brieht Prospects Ahead.

The n. z. Eyening Post. taking the Her
AIDS standing text of "1837-i857," dis
courses very edifyingly to the '.Dismal Jim
mys of financial circles" 1t viii be seen
that the writer gives very substantial rea-
sons for putting a cheerful face upon the
future:
In 1887, we were importing from Eu-
rope large quantities of grain to supply our
necessities, In addition to our usual import
ations of merchandise. We had experience
ed loss of over twenty millions of dollars
by the most disastrous fires this country
ever experienced. The winter of 1886 was
one of the very eoldest ever known in this
climate, and was followed by backward
spring. short summer, and general fail
ure of the crops. Added to this, the coun-
try was possessed with an insane passion
for speculation in wild and unproduetive
lands. Nothing to pay with. without crops
to live upon, with wealth all invested In
lands of no current value, with destructive
fires and inclement skies. began the revul-
sion which over-trading and mad specula-
ton rapidly ripened into general bankruptcy.
But how different our present condi-
tionl There has been, without question,
much over-trading, much bad management
and extraTagance, and yet the recent report
of the Secretary of the Treasury shows
that we have exported, inclusive of specie,
during the fiscal year ending the 1st of Ju-
ly last, some millions more than we have
imported. The crops of the country are
the largest ever known; almost every Sec
ton of the country reports bounteous har-
f<1fo
foreign demand at fair prices for all the
grain and flour we can supply. Through
the troubles in India, and the general In
creasing foreign demand, our pork and beef
which have become important articles Of
export, viii command probably double theil
average value, and we shall have greatly
increased supply. The prospects for full
ly fair crop of cotton are promising, and
prices are nearly or quite double those o.
average years. Throughout the length and
breadth of the land there is an unusual pros
peet of late fall pasture, and roots for the
sustenance of cattle, which is matter o.
more importance than is generally consid
cred. California is sending US regularly
more than forty millions of gold per an
mum, considerable portion of which re-
mains in circulation in the interior of oul
country. Emigration to our shores of g
more thrifty class of people, is steadily on
ward, and through the money they bring,
together with their industrious habits, oul
Western States are reaping rich harvest
These are facts plain to every observer, and
present state Of things as different from
what prevailed here in 1887 as it is easy tc
conceive occurring in any country within
so short period as twenty years. We are
ali great deal wiser for what has occurred
Several enormous bubbles have been explo-
ded, credit will hereafter rest on sounder,
and therefore more profitable basis, and un,
less something happens not within the range
of probabilities, our next New Years Day
will be the happiest and most prosperou:
that has ever dawned upon this country.

The London Sunday Times of the 9th Septem-
Der. notices the challenge put forth By gentlemen
residing in Savannah in the following terms:
ssThe result of the Goodwood race has excited
the turfmen in Savannah, Georgia. and they pro
pose getting up a match race for 100000 eide
between the United States and England, TO be run
in that country, under such terms of agreement as
may fully test the superiority of the horses of the
two countries They therefore make the following
CHALLENGE which is open to the world: ITO run
match of four miles and repeat, at such times
as may be agreed upon, post entries for one hum
dred thousand dollars a side, the horses to carry
weight for age, to be run over the Ten Broeck
Course at Savannah. In order to induce their Eng.
lish friends accept the banter they also propose
TO allow the m five per cent npon the money staked
or FIVE thousand dollars to pay the expenses of
their horses, in case they lose the race The edi-
tor Of the Savannah Georgian says, that the gen
tlemen by whose authority this challenge is pub
Iished all men of responsibility and wealth: and
the money is ready 10 be covered by q similar
amount from England or elsewhere.
Should this challenge be made in an official form
we trust thatit will be accepted. A company should
be formed to carry out the proceedings; and, per-
baps Lord Zetand might be prevailed upon to let
himself be the champion of the British Turf, and
send out SkIrmisher to do battle against the Amer
lean celebrities"
We hope our Georgia friends who authorized the
''Georgian" to put forth the above challenge will
takeimmedate means to put the affair in the proper
form. The money easily be raised. Let's
have race -Porter's Spirit.
