~ The voice Of this State has been very
distinctly uttered against what has been called
5he Reciprocity Treaty. The Governor has
pronounced against it; the legislature recon-
mended its termination. The action of Con-
,ress has been in the same general time. No
ice of termination has been given, and the
Treaty will terminate ON the 18th of March
next. While such are the facts, some of our
citizens, and portion of our papers, take
lifferent view, and insist the termination of the
treaty will be prejudieial ts the best interests
Of this State, and particularly of this city. We
confess we should rather have their well-rea-
soned grounds for this opinion set forth, than
The mere declaration of the opinion itself We
10 not believe Portland is to wilt" because
that one-sided arrangements to terminate we
do not belieye she will permanently SITTER; we
believe its termination may lead to, and facii-
tate more profitable relations with Canada than
we have ever yet enjoyed; still we may be in
error, and if so we are open to conviction. BE-.

ON him, the ball passing through the thick mart
of the calf of his leg. Stinchfield fell and the
ruffian rushed upon him and commenced
searching his pockets. Finding nothing but a
wallet containing one key and paper giving
the dimensions of pump, the discounted ras-
cal fastened to make his escape, running in
the direction of Dexter. No clue has been OBJ
tanned to the perpetrator of the outrage"
gB~ our inquisitive friend of the Water
vile Mail is informed that the ''cloth" of which
the item was made about the raising of a cler-
symans salary in that town, was found in the
