The greatest insult ever offered to the
soldiers of the Union, was implied in the
narrow partisan policy of the abolition au-
thorities in denying them the privilege OF
reading both sides of all questions arising
in their absence. This was their unques-
tionable right, and to deny it to them, can
not be otherwise explained than as an i'm
putation either upon their intelligence or
patriotism. Tho soldiers will find out be-
fore all is over, who are their best friends.

WASHINGTON, April In the House to-day
Mr. Ward, of New York, from the Committee
on Commerce reported Joint resolution set
ting forth among other things in the preamble
on the llth Of September, 1854, for the pu'-
pose OF extending reciprocal trade between
tho British North American Colonies and !he
United States, that nearly all the articles which
Canada has 10 sell are admitted into the Unit
ed States free Of duty, while heavy duties are
now imposed udon many OF their articles
which people of the United Stetes have to sell
with the intention OF excluding them from the
Canadian markets and that the President du.
ring the XXXVIth Congress, caused to be
submitted TO the House an official report set
ting forth the inequality and injustice exist
ing in ouI present intercourse with Canada
subyersve Of the true intent of the treaty,
owing to the subsequent legislation Of Cana
da but 1t being decided that friendly rela-
tions should continue between the United
States and the British North American Prov
inces and that commercial intercourse should
be hereafter carried on between them upon
the principles of Reciprocity. beneficial and
satisfactory to both parties, therefore
Resolved, That the President be authorized
and requested to give notice to the British
Government that it is the wish and intention
OF the government OF the United states to
terminate it at the end of twelve months
from the expiration of ten years from the time
the treaty went into operation such notice to
be given at the expirst on OF the said term Of
ten years to the end that the treaty may be
abrogated unless a new Convention shall be-
fore that time, be concluded between the gov
ernsments, by which the provisions shall be
abregated, or so modified as to be mutually
satisfactory to both governments; and that
the President be authorized to appoint three
comm issioners, by and with the advice and
consent of the Sedate, for the revision of the
said treaty, and to confer with other commits
sioners, duly authorized therefor whenever it

Corruption Fund.

There was a Republican in our office
the other day complaining that he had
been asked by his party leaders to to sub
scribe to corruption fund. He was an
honest man, and his indignation was nat
urally exc tied, at the means proposed by
his party for carrying the city election

said he, "and if the Democrats have a
fair mai ority in the city, l am willing they
should rule it."
We are informed, just as we go to press
that q large number of soldiers of the 44th
reginae Mt, were landed in the city to-day
from Camp Dennison, and that they wert
brought, and will be returned, without ex.
pense to themselves, The language of the
Republican, which we have just quoted
needs no further explanation. Very well

to the privilege, and none others. be th'

have no more election farces--let US heal

by fraudulent votes. Let us have fai

to whom debt was due, was paid, or
might demand, gold Now public and
private creditors are paid, and all business
transacted, with a deprecated paper Of
which it requires one dollar and sixty to
seventy cents to buy one dollar in gold.
Since Mr. BucHASAS's time, we have lost
the writ Of kGJeas eorpus, and now citi-
zen, upon any charge, or no charge, may
be immured in dungeon, and there rot,
for there is no legal process Left to reach

be inflicted, by drum-head court; and
there is no redress. Freedom of opinion,
OF speech, and of the press is gone. The
ballot-box has been put under the domina-
ton of the bayonet The President is
formally proclaimed to be "the Govern
ment," to whom alone allegiance is due;
while adherence to the Constitution, and
assertion of its guarantees, is pronounced
crime, for which scores have suffered inn
prisonment, exile, and ruin.
But we do not propose to go into the
matter any further. What we have said
is merely suggestive Of what the people
will ascertain for themselves, whenever
they have time and nationality to make an
investigation which will reveal the utter
and overwhelming RUIN which in the brief
period of three years. has befallen the
greatest, freest, happiest people OF modern
times.

Just a word 20 Voters.

1t seems almoet work of supeIkroga-
ton to offer to the intelligent voters of this
city, tOriten reason for voting the Dem
ocratic ticket on Monday next. Men who
do not see the propriety OF so doing with
out further prompting than is contained
in the logic Of current events, will hardly
be influenced by any argument of ours.
Nevertheless, we will remind all who
are not too much stultfed by the preju-
dice which accompanies the insanity of abb
olitionism to heed what we say, that all
the horrible consequences of this war of
brothers-its slaughter and sorrow, its ag-
ony, its tears its decentralization, debt
and ruin, are attributable to the overthrow
of the democratic party in 1860 by the CO.
horts OF sbolitionism. The man who does
not know this should never degrade the
ballot-box with his vote. 1t is a fact, it
is HIsToRY. The Crittenden Compro-
mise-sccepted by the South and reject
ed by abolitionism-was the most liberal
adjustment of the slavery question ever Of
fered to the people of the North. To the
rejection Of this we owe the disruption
of the States. and the melancholy over
throw of Peace and prosperity. The De-
mocracy gave timely warning to the peo-
pie of the consequences of abolition ascen-
dency; but their warning was not needed,
and it may not be again-but we say to
all interested, that free government, and
''the very liberties we so highly prize" de-
pend upon the Immediate defeat of the alb
olition party.
