The Canadian militia that have beer
called cut to do service on the frontier viii
number abou, 5000, and will be com
manded by officers who have seen ser
vics in the British army. Their term 0
service will be until spring. Thirty com
panes were called for, and they will be
sent off IS fast as they can be armed
Some Of the troops have already Iefi
Quebec and Montreal. The number Of
troops called out seems small, but they
will be able, or ought to be, to render
tolerably effective police service. A
company Of heavy artillery started from
Boston for the Canadian frontier on Fri
day. They were to go to Plattsburg, N.
Y. Brig. Gen STANDARD will probably
have command of our forces on the 'front.'
ier Altogether it looks as though raid
ing would be more difficult for the rebels
in Canada than it has been.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY REso.

2 THE RECIPROCITY TREATY REsC
LUTON IN CANADA.-The Sherbrok,
Lower Cam Gazette of Saturda,
last, in noticing the passage Of areso
luton by the United States Congress!
to abrogate Reciprocity Treaty, says
This will be sad news to the
people OF Canada, and especially tc
those Of the Eastern townships
All of our exports Of horses, cattle
sheep, oats, dairy produce, lumber
and timber, in fact almost every
staple product Of the townships,
have, since the Reciprocity went in
to effect, found a market in the
United States, free of duty. If the
treaty is abrogated, as there is now
every reason to believe it will be,
that market will be closed to US or
only opened by the payment of a
war tax of twenty-five or thirty per
cent. Two causes have probably
operated to induce the United States
to take this step. First, the necessi-
ty of raising a large revenue to
carry on the war; and second, and.
we think more especially, on account
of the unfriendly feeling manifested
by a majority of the press and al
large portion of the public, toward
the North in the struggle to put
down the rebellion. There is mol
denying the fact that majority off
our newspapers, and those of the
greatest circulation, with but a few
have, almost from the
commencement of the rebellion, ex-
pressed the hope and belief, that
the Shareholders of the South would
gain their independence, and the
Union be broken to fragments; and
these papers, and that portion Of the
public whose sympathies run in the
same direction, have used their innu-
ence to bring about this result
The prospect now is that this SYM
pathy will cost US a few millions for
putting our frontier in a state of de-
tense, the loss of the Reciprocity
Treaty, and give in return a Union
with the Lower Provinces, and free
trade with couple Of millions of
people in New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia, &c, five or six hundred miles
of, ION condition of building a rail
'oad to carry produce to their mar
iet, instead Of thirty millions on
our border
Thirty millions for two bad ex-
.hange for Canada; but it illustrates
he inequality of the trade, and JUS Z
ifes the abrogation Of the treaty i

SECRETARY FEssnNDEN AND THE


SECRETARY FEssENDEN AND TIL
CuRRENCY.--There has been pretty gen
eral aud free denunciation of Secretary
Fessenden, by the press Of both parties
for his neglect to propose definite finan-
cial measures in his annual report. We
have heretofore spoken Of the report as a
plain and full statement Of the facts, and
as all that the public had a right 10 ex'
pect from him at the time. 1t is well
understood that Mr.. Fessenden's policy
ia to pay as large share of our current
expenses as possible by taxation, and to
reduce tho currency as rapidly as possible
and so TO raise its value toward the gold
standard. This is the true theory, but
the change must be made prudently. A
sudden and radical revolution, il il were
possible, would dcrange all our present
business arrangements and inhict serious
damage. The measures adopted must
fit to the existing circumstances, with a.
tendency always towards b desired
final result. Secretary Fessenden will
propose his definite measures as the time
for each arrives.
There is an obvious motive for the sec
retary's reticence in the fact that the adj
ministration is obliged to carry on the
government against strong opposition
party, embracing many leading CONNER
cial men, who have the power and the
disposition TO embarrass the government
in lis financial policy. The monied in
tere:ts in Europe are in alliance with
these men and will furnish them any
amount of supplies. If Secretary Fes>
sender had made full and definite ex-
position Of the measures be intended to
bring before Congress, it is easily seen
that the opposition bankers. and brokers
would have been able to mature their
plans for the defeat Of these measures. -
They might not be able absolutely TO
defeat them in the end, but they would
have power TO embarrass the government
and make the execution of its plans diff
cult. For the time being it i3 enough
TO know Secretary Fessenden's general
policy, and prepare to give support to
definite measures in that line as ;hey are l
developed. When Gen Sherman started
for the sea coast h 0 did not publish
precisely what he intended 10 do, but pur-
PoSely left it so much in doubt that the
enemy, by moving to head him of in onr
direction could not be sure that they were
not aiding him thereby by removing OBJ
struciions from The way he really intended
10 90. So too with the secretary Of the L
treasury, who has a powerful enemy in
tte field TO contend against, with able L
sad-rs. Secretary Fessendrn is sound \
iaaaeier, and will administer his depart |
nsrt with wisdom and integrity. WE q
nope the country will have his services
n the department for the next four years. Il
