Congress has passed the resolution
to give the six months notice to terminate
the Reciprocity Treaty. We can congratu-
late our readers on this act of justice to our
State. This Treaty has always been a
jug handle concern, and should have been
acted upon more promptly. The manifest
hostility of the Canadas to the American
Union, and its open and avowed acts of
sympathy for the sccessionists, are not
very well calculated to make loyal people
wish to longer continue one sided, mis-
called reciprocal Treaty, with them.

It's not too late to change the manner

not be denied that up to this time, the
indigpities that have been heaped upon
Mr.. Davis and his rigorous Imprisonment
have not been owing to fears of his es-

upon him for some fancied complioitysof

ed, the prospect is unusually good but
many plantations in this section have
been over-run with grass and weeds in
consequence Of the negroes leaving and
refusing to work. We know of nstan,
ces where negro men, having good
homes and plenty to eat and wear, have
left the crop just at the time it needed
working, and come here to town and lie
about the suburbsin idleness; and some
of them, rather than work on the plan
tations, are offering to do days work
in town for their dinner. Some, people
may talk as they please, and worship the
negro to their hearts content, but those
who have been raised with him and un.
derstand his habits and disposition, know
that, as a general thing, compulsion is
necessary to make him work. There is
no disposition on'the part of former mas.
ters to Cypress the negro, but there is
disposition to help him along if he will
work and be honest.

quality is said to be good.
