CoREwELL, CANADA March AT a public
dinner, given to members of the Government
last night, speeches were delivered, and the
assertion made that confederation Of pro-
vinces would certainly take place in few
weeks. With reference to militia, it was
said Canada had now two thousand well
drilled officers to send them. In speech
having reference to the recent reciprocity
negotiations, 1t was denied that the Legisla-
ture would be made subordinate to the
United States, and it was claimed that liberal
terms would be offered Americans who had
created public sentiment among them favor
ing the renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty,
and that since the treaty had not been re-
newed, Canada must cultivate commercial
relations with lower provinces of South
America and Europe.

THE president SPOKE DELIBERATELY.-Bald-
win, the Radical member of Congress and
editor of the Worcester (Mass.) Spy, heard the
Presidents speech the other evening, and
thus writes rs to the manner of the famous
address
His voice is clear, harsh, powerful and pene
trating. When he seems speaking with most
excitement he is evidently the coolest man in
the world. 1 watched him with the awakened
interest of one who felt the magnitude of the
crisis the speaking was creating, and am con-
WINGED that all he said was weighed and mea-
sured, and meant to bring about certain re-
suits. When the tumult of applause which
greeted his strongest denunciation and most
virulent attack was surging around those
cold eyes and that crafty smile could be seen
calculating the entire scene and its accessories.
This shows how cruelty malicious were the
statements that the President was under the
influence of liquor. He knew what he was
about, and the action of Congress since the
speech was made proves it to have been as po-
little as it was PERSONAL---VERY. York World.

GREELEY THINKS Ex- REBELS Would BE THE
BEST RRPREsESTATIvEs.-Mr. Sherman wants
the Southern States represented in Congress
represented notD-but insists that no person
who has taken part in the late rebellion shall
be admitted to a seat. Now, VIGOROUSLY,
nearly all the white people of those States
hare taken part in that rebellion, and so are
excluded by the terms of the existing act and
of Mr.. Sherman's programme.
Now we object to that programme that Its
success will not conciliate, nor tranquiliZe,
nor satisfy the South, and that it ought not to
do so. 1t is all very well to insist that the
South must be represented by "loyal men -
nobody disputes that. But to say that they
must always hare been loyal-that Georgia
and Mississippi and South Carolina must send
to Congress no man who ecer willingly
aided the rebellion-is to mock her
with a semblance, yet deny her the
reality of representations to IantaliZe, and
irritate, rather than tranquiliZe and conciliate
the South. What earnest unionist wants TO
the Senate to which he has just been elected,
and some Insignificant, who represents only
his own audacious aspirations, admitted in
his stead? Depend on it, :" the South =" is not
to be satisfied nor even "restored" by any
sham representation. Mr.. Sherman means
we'll but his plaster is two small for the
wound, and will rather inflame than heal IT.
We are confident we express the general feel
ing of the Southern whites when we say that
they prefer to be kept out of Congress rather
than admitted if, when admitted, they are
allowed to send to Congress only representa-
tiyes who can swear that they never volun-
tarily aided the rebellion .-NeIo York Tribune,

CHIvALRoUs CoNDUcT OF WEST VIRGINIA
SBNAToR.-A day or two since in the State
Senate Mr.. Joseph A. Chapline, of Jefferson,
rose and said: "Mr. President, this is Copper
head bill (which originated in the House from
Mr.. Hinkle, q rebel from Pendleton county"
Mr.. Hinkle who, during the war, did valiant
service for the Union cause, that evening
demanded that the honorable Senator should
retract The Senator said that in the heat of
debate he had made the remark, but the only
fault he had to find with Mr.. Hinkle was that
he endeavored to defeat him (Chapline) at the
last election, and had circulated the report
that he (ChapTine) was drunkard. Mr. Hin
kle replied that he had voted against Chapline
because he knew that he was not only a
drunkard, but defaulter to the Government,
and gave Chapline the names of q number Of
prominent Union men as his authority
for the charges. Mr. Hinkle, in rather urgent
terms, and with threats rather detrimental
to the tgood- looking "phiz" of the honorable
Senator, demanded retraction. The Senator
