CANADIAN LOYALTY AND AMERICAN HosPi-
TAILTY.-The insulting reception given to the
Prince of Wales at Kingston, and the
threats held out to him Of its repetition
| at Brockville and Toronto, are unhappy
evidences Of the condition of society in
Canada A people cannot be regarded as
other than semi-barbarous who can thus de-
mean themselves. Whatever causes Of conten-
ton the two factions, Orange and Catholic, may
have, the obligations Of loyalty and of hospita-
lity dictated that they should be kept out of
| sight on this occasion. So far was this from
being done that neither party would make the
| slightest sacrifice Of its susceptbilites. They
preferred to impose upon their young guest and
future sovereign line Of conduct which would
have compromised him In his. own self esteem
and subjected him to censure at home. On the
good taste and decency of this course II Is IN
necessary for us to comment Neither are we
called upon to stigmstise as they deserve the
violent scenes and threats to which the Princes
| refusal to accept the conditions put to him sub
| sequently led. The civilized world will know
how to appreciate them. The contempt that
they will inspire cannot fail to react severely
upon the people of the provinces 1t will be
argued that there can be but little good sense
or self respect amongst them or they would
never have tolerated such occurrences.
After the threats held out to him 1t Is to be
hoped that the Prince will not land at any
other point Of the Canadian shore. He owes it
to his own dignity not to trust himself again
amongst population who have thus
openly menaced and insulted him. Let
him at once cross the border, and
he will meet with that courteous and respectful
treatment which is due to his high position.
Although their political ideas differ widely
from his, he will find that Americans have the
instincts Of gentlemen, and that they know how
to receive in proper manner those who trust
themselves to their hospitality.
We observe that at Newark, on Wednesday
last, the members of couple Of societies styling
themselves Protestant Associations" indulg-
ed in some riotous excuses, intended to mark
their sympathy with the recent Orange demon
STATIONS in Canada. In the exuberance of their
religious" zeal they discharged their pistols
from the cars on leaving, and shot poor colored
woman who happened to be standing In the
street Now, we wish all these rabid fanatics
to understand that it, during the Prince of
Wales visit to this metropolis, they attempt to
obtrude any of their offensive emblems on bis
view, or to renew the insults that have been Of
fered to him in Canada, they will be in
stantly put down. The Prince is to be the
guest of the New York public, and they will
not tolerate his being insulted or annoyed by
foreigners who import with them into their
adopted country the miserable feuds which
Let these people beware how they commit them
selves to any such demonstrations. At the 6rst
evidence of anything Of the kind there Is not
military company In the city that win not
turn out to sweep from our streets the misguided
individuals who take part In them.
DIFFICULTIES ABOUT THE UNION TICKET d TINS
SrATE.-All the trouble about the union ticket
in this State Is with the politicians, and not
with the people, who are decidedly In favor of
It. The politicians are quarrelling about the
proportions Of electors which the several par.
ties ought to have upon the ticket and that
seems to give them more concern than the ques
ton whether the ticket can be carried or not
Certainly the course they are pursuing % admi
rably calculated to defeat II.
The leaders Of the fragments Of the old dis
integrated parties are each claiming undue pro-
minence and importance for their own section.
The Regency want TO have matters all their
own way, and there n, accordingly, trouble
with them. The Tammany Hall chiefs insist
upon their views, and the Mozart Hall
braves on theirs, while the Wall street
democracy, represented by the Jownaiof Com
n,erce, demand different arrangement There
Is thus trouble with these various sections. In
the same way the debris Of the old wing party
are puahing their claims. They are all jostling
each other. 10 the delight Of the republican
party; and unless they cease their strife and
agree, the result viii be that Lincoln viii win
the State, and probably the election.
We perceive that some Of the headers Of the
Breckinridge party in this State have gone TO
Washington TO seek for advice as to the course
they ought 70 pursue. How absurd. What
can people at Washington know about the State
