A failure of justice having occurred in
consequence Of the action of the servants
of the Canadian people, it becomes our
bounden duty to do what in US lies to re-
trieve the difficulties that have resulted.
As it was to be expected that the raiders
would be re-arrested without trouble, the
reward is very properly offered when it is
discovered that the interests Of justice de-
mand it.
Applications continue to pour in from
captains of volunteer companies who de-
sire to perform service on the frontier.
Col. Wiley has left for Windsor to pre-
pare quarters for the companies to be sta
toned there. -@
1learn from the best authority that Gen.
Dix, Immediately after issuing bis procla-
nation with regard to raiders from Can
ada, dispatched confidential agent to
this Province to get definite information.
That gentleman returned to New York
perfectly satisfied that the Canadian au-
thorities were taking every necessary step
to perform international obligations.
1t is to be regretted that the United
States Government did not wake up at an
earlier period to the importance of keep
ing our Government fully advised of the
steps taken here by Confederates with a
view to violations of our neutrality, and
which had come within the cognizance of
its agent. Driven from every other part,
the last refuge of the Southern agents is
to embroil the United States and Enqla--
In war, using Canada as the medium. How
successful the game has thus far been
worked, the infammable state of the from
tier to-day testifes. Canada is now fully
aroused, and will not suffer herself to be
made cats-paw to play this ignoble part.
This the Washington government full un-
derstands from the daily communications
it has with our Government, through the
medium of the British Embassy. The best
understanding prevails. Mr.. Seward has
indeed made most favorable impression
here by the prompt and considerate man
ner in which he has recently acted.
The Consul General of Canada, Mr..
Potter, is unwell, and has gone to Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Thurston, Vice Consul General,
is likewise i'll. 1t would certainly be to
the advantage of American interests at the
present time if it had some person here to,
advise with our Government, that uniform
action might be effected.
The intelligent sentiment here continues
strong that Mr. Counsel should either be
dismissed or suspended.
