witnesses nave been examined before
the committe who are not violent haters
of the Southern States. General Lee
attended a few days since, but only one
statement of his has been permitted to
see the light-that he thinks the people
of Virginia are in favour Of paying the
Confederate debt. The proposition of
this committee, that Tennessee be per-
mitted to re-enter the Union, as a new
State applying for admission, provided
she eDacts negro sutfrage3 has not yet
been finally acted upon. A threatened
veto hangs over it, because the President
says hat Tennessee is already IN the

forced upon her against her consent. The
President is so strong now that the Ra-

ana on coal, HSn, and various Otner pro-
duets competing with predictions in the
United States, successful efforts have
been made to impose high rates Of duty.
The Bill is not passed, however, and
meets with opposition at every stage, the
discussions upOn it developing the bitter
hatred that exists between the Pr0tcc-
ZIONIST and Free-trade wings Of the Re
publican party. The Western Free
traders desire liberal trade arrangements
with Canada, Meanwhile the railroads
are hurrying goods from Canada into the
United st ties, the Grand Trunk and.
other lines being loaded down with
freight. Now Brunswick, with the other
Canadian States, are striking at New
England for ~abrocating the treaty. Her
Iieutenant-GoYerno has issued a pr0cla-
nation warning American fishermen
from the in-shore fisheries after March
II, under penalty Of coafi$ca-ing their
vessels if caught. The repeal Of the
treaty seems also to have improved the
prospects Of Canadian Confederation.
The project has been heretofore opposed
by the Maritime Provinces, because they
feared their influences would be over
Swallowed by Canada and their commerce
with the United States JeopaidZau il the
Confederation is formed. This oPposj-
ton is decreasing, however, and New
ioundIand has recently deciared IN favour
OF Confederation Ivy a large majority IN
her Legislature. There is some probable
ity, therefore, Of a large Coateleracy be-
ing formed on The north Of the joited
States which viii be az extensive and
powerful neighbour, as all tbe Provinces
to be un.t.i in The Confederation have
an aggregate area ot666,o0 square mics,
and in 1861 had a population OF 3,3SS, 154.
Canada is just now excited by f ans OF
a Ftuiau invasion. Troops have been
called out AMI ul all the towns near Jho
torler. Military stores are collected,
and forts are brjstiing with cannon. March
II, the fatal day on which lie Treaty eX-
pjres, is also 81. Patricl's Day, and it is
said the Feniaus have nhos'a rhar day TO
begin General Swaeuey's threatened in
vaS.Ou oi Canada. P,ocIamatIJus for
Volunteers to defend The border have
been issued by The Canadian Govern
meot, and have been answered with ala
Gritty by thousands Of men, and the whole
people are in a high state Of excitement.

the right to vote, and excluding from the
basis those who through the action OF
state authorities shall be prohibited from
exercising the right of suffrage on ac-
count of color, race, or other disability.
This would slightly reduce the southern
representation in Congress, by depriving
it of the two-ffths negro basis; but that
is of little consequence, now that the
question of slavery is settled. The south
has no special interest to subserve that
should make us anxious for a prepon-
derating influence in the national coun.
ellis. For years to come, our interests
will be best served by letting general
politics severely alone, and attending to
our industrial and material prosperity.
We rather like this solution of b dim-
Guilty, always promising that it is well
| intended. 1t leaves us to deal with the
question of suffrage as we may see
nrone and in our own time. Fin a
few years hence a majority o. the people
of Virginia, should deem it polite to
increase the basis of representation, by
enfranchising any portion of our ION
voting population, it will be competent
for them to do so,-and it can then be
| done with a better grace, and be more
| valuable to the class upon whom the
| favor will be conferred, than if the al.
tentative were forced upon the state
now by the general government.
