THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

On the first rage will be found the
earnest aud able speech Of Senator
Ramsey, Of Minnesota, opposing the alb
rosation Of the reciprocity treaty be-
tween the United States and Canada.
Mr.. r. IS remarks cover the ground so
completely that We need DO nothing
more than call attention to them and
ask careful reading. The resolution
whose adoption he opposed received
majority Of the votes Of both Houses
Of Congress, and therefore the treaty
will be at au end March 10Th, 1866
This will be matter Of regret to the
entire Northwest, and can be charged
to the insatiatc greediness Of some Of
the already bloated Eastern States.

NEW DECISION IN RELATION TO
QUOTAS.

The latest decision which has cn,a-
mated from Gen. Fry announces that
all excess of years service must first be
reduced to three y ears men, before the
same is allowed "pon the qnvta under
the last call.
In order to ascertain the probable
quota of towns, the following facts
should be borne in mind:
The enrolment Of this (Sccond) Dis
trict is about 5000. The quota of the
District under the last call is 1911, and
the excess Of years service by sub. dis
tricts $500, which being reduced to
three years men BY dividing by three,
makes 100. This eleven hundred is
to be added to the 1911, making 26ll
men, the number required from the
district, inelu<ling the excess. The
desiy" of the War Department is to OBJ
tain 1871 actual men from the district,
and to do so it is necessary to increase
that amount by the excess, and make
the sub-districts quotas in proportion
to the number so increased.
The per cent. required from towns
having no excess to be deducted, will
be about one-third of the enrolment of
tie town. Where there is an excess,
it should be deducted. as three years
men, from the thi,d OF the enrolment,
aud the remainder will be the actual
number Of men required. s.

tion, "took effect" on the 10th Of
March, 1855. I accept the authorita-
tive declaration of the committee. Then
l turn to the fifth article and 6nd
stipulation that
"The treaty shall remain in force for ten
years from the date at which it may come
came into operation. and further, until
the expiration of twelve months after eth
er Of the high contracting parties shall give
notice to the other Of its wish to terminate
the same; each Of the high contracting
parties being at liberty to give such nstice
to the other at the end Of tie said term Of ten
gears, or at any time Afterwards"
l assume, Mr.. President, that tho
concurren &c Of both Houses of Con
gress and the approval Of the Presi-
dent, az usual in legislation, arc essen
tial to constitute the e,ide"ce Of
"wish" by the United States "to ter
inmate the treaty." aud that the "no
tice' above referred to would doubtless
consist of an authenticated copy or an
equivalent recital of the resolution
which Congress had adopted. The
date of such resolution is therefore
matter Of Importance it is the period
of time when the "notice" is actually
given. If the day upon which the
Government of the United States, as
one of the high contracting parties,
concurs in the final passage or adoption
Of resolution of abrogation Cor the ex-
preston of such a w;sh) he neither the
term of "tcn years from the date at
which the treaty went into operation"
or the 10Th of March, 1855, arc Sena-
tors certain that We are not violating
the obligation Of a treaty? We are at
liberty to give such notice on the 10th
Of March, lS65-so says the fifth arti-
cle-''or at any time afterward." The
implication is unavoidable that we are
restrained from doing so previously.-
1t matters not that the ministerial act
of the President is after the 18th of
March, 1865-the act of notice, the
expression by this Government of its
wish and determination will be Jrfore
that date, and therefore premature and
violation Of treaty obligation
For this reason, Mr.. President, and
on accoun, Of the general considerations
Of public policy to which I have ad-
vcrted, am opposed to the resolution
in its present shape.
