ceived. The first notice we had OF 1t was from
an article which appeared, evidently from the
Minister'S of a dubious nature, which took some
of us off our guard. Many remarks made here
need adyerting to. Ii was called by some great
boon The idea of reciprocity was "quid pro
auo,'' which would destroy the idea of its being
a boon He regretted that any should be dis
poSed To treat il in n partisan spirit. He thought
that the Representatives of other countries were
pleased with the treaty, and he should not be
surprised If they at some future time ask this
Government TO pass such n treaty with their
Governments. Some of the members desired that
other articles should be inserted, for instance
wool-an article he was particularly interested in;
but when il was considered that the articles rais-
ed in that country, extending from the frozen
regions of the North to the torrid swamps of
Florida, were of a mixed description, it was not
to be wondered at that could not all be suited.
