Trouble In tho New Dominion she
Increase.
In the HERALD OF yesterday we published .
long and an able letter from the pen OF our
special correspondent at Montreal. Our cor.
respondent enters with some degree Of care
into the difficulties Of the New Dominion. Is
has long been plain to us that the Ottawa
Parliament, which Is to meet early In March,
has before it work Of a very Herculean order.
Our correspondents letter fully confirms our
opinion. Nova Scotia has decided in favor OF
secession, or, II you will, on the disruption Of
the confederation. Her best man, Mr.. Howe,
has been, or is about to be, sent to London aS
the head Of q deputation whose business IL 10
to petition for the separation Of the Blue
Noses from the New Dominion. We are
further informed that the honorable gentleman
has accepted . permanent engagement on .
London newspaper, which may mean many
things, but which does not forbid the idea thaa
though no is done with the New Dominion he
is not necessarily done with the British empire.
We are also freshly informed that New Bruns-
wick is fully prepared to follow her maritime
sister. Lower Canada we know is bul
indihersntly contented. Now would have
been our opportunity 70 make the Csnadas
integral parts Of the United States. But, alasi

All the trouble and excitement at Washing

Half dozen serenades would settle tho

Old Boum, with his cooked hat, would come

What Coagress and the President Forget.
Both Congress and the President seem to
have forgotten that the cruel war is over
which slsnced laws and made it necessary for
the coordinate powers Of the government to
"energize their functions" to an extraordinary
degree and sometimes to transcend them. The
nation Is no longer on war footing, but on
peace footing. as all ought to have been con-
yinced by the disbsnding OF the national
armies after the suppression OF the rebellion.
Yet Andrew Johnson has acted as il he thought
that the mantle OF Abraham Lincoln had fallen
upon him, and that he might continue to weld
the same exceptional authority which the
people entrusted to his lamented predecessor
amid the darkness and perplexity OF national
peril. And Congress, in Its esgerncss to check
the abuse of executive power by the Presi-
dent has itself yielded to the temptation Of
exceeding the limits Of its own legitimate
sphere. II has enacted laws which, to say tho
least, rest upon very dubious constitutional
basia
The inevitable result has been q deplorable
conflict Of authority between President and
Congress, which tends to delay reconstruction,
to supply fresh fuel for sectional discord. 30

ind they may therefore command their own

terms.
There Is yet another point OF analogy, aud
that not the least significant. The relation of
the Executive to the rebellious elements is
identical in both cases. Secession, culminat-
ing in war, had been impossible but for Bu-
chanan. Resistance to reconstruction were
fanciful, and not to be thought OF seriously,
but for the patronage it receives, and the sue
cor with which IL is tempted by Johnson. The
dead President disclaimed constitutional au-
thority to save the Union by sitting secession
in its cradle. The living President in like
manner repudiates the obligations OF duty in
regard to the newly formed Governments,
and avows a readiness to recognize and
help efforts for their destruction. To
this extent the parallel is perfect. Be-
tween the two men, however, marked diff
and vacillating; one day, Cobb and Jacob
Thompson guided his counsels; the next,
Union men seemed to possess his confidence;
and while the pitiful spectacle OF an Executive
paralyzed by doubt and fear went on, the
conspiracy grew in strength and boldness. 1t
acquired magnitude because of Buchanan's s
weakness rather than in consequence Of his
sympathy. Johnson, on the other hand, has
doggedness of resolution and nerve, to play
the most desperate game. His is no passive
sympathy. He is actively enlisted on the side
of the revolutionists, by his declarations en-
oourages their lawless spirit, and by his policy
perverts the power of the Executive to uses
which lead to commotion and difficulty.
The comparison suggests one consideration
of more satisfactory character. The events
of the winter Of 1860 took the country by
surprise. Few supposed the threatened dan
ger to be real, and these had not power to
provide for its requirements. Now the de-
signs of the revolutionists are understood;
the advantages they derive from the uncon-
cealed sympathies of the President are appre-
ciated; and Congress overwhelmingly Re-
publican retains the means of vindicating its
authority and crushing any movement of re-
sistance to law which Southern supporters OF
Seymour may be mad enough to inaugurate.
In this respect, at least, 1865 is satisfactorily
ahead of 1860,
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1868-07-29

field is either lost or won. Most Of the ammu-
pition and buncombe of the Republicans, how
ever, have thus far been looked up in Con-
gress; but now that the bars are down and the
members let loose we expect the country will
soon be flooded by Republican stump speakers
of all degrees. We shall presently have Will
son, Butler, Banks, Boutwell,, Logan, Stevens,
followed by all the little dogs of the party, on
they have treed their game or perished
through exhaustion. The plan of the Repub-
lican campaign in the Soutb has not yet been
fully developed. The leaders, however, are
confident of carrying nearly all the southern
States unless the polls are taken possession OF
by the Democrats and the Republicans pre-
vented from voting by violence. IL is GER
taiulv the fact that the Southern Democrats
have at this stage OF the campaign apparently
formed in columns as storming parties, and
are only awaiting the proper time and the
appointed signal to "move on the enemy's
works." In the meantime the Republicans
will not let the election in the Southern States
go by default, no matter what may occur.
Their lines may now seem to waver, but the
infusion of little Congressional spirit after
adjournment will probably brace them up
again, and the rank and file will go into the
fight bold as ever. Hence, putting all things
together, we do not think the campaign will
long continue to be as dull as it has been thus
far, and that active operations will be COM
menced as soon as the Republican members of
Congress have visited their homes, packed up
their extra linen, kissed their wives and sweet
hearts and sailed forth again for the battle
fields of political glory.

Progress of the Presidential Campaign.
From The ~ Y Herald.
Thus far the Presidential campaign has been
remarkably fiat. Most of the leaders seem to
be immured at the watering places, or laid up
with the vapors. Although the Republicans
have had the lead of the Democrats by some
two months in the matter of nominations,
they have failed as yet to strike a keynote. Ii
there be any advantage on either side it is in
favor of the aepocrats who have already

The murky skies Of England, says
an exchange, place great obstacles in
the way Of making good hay. A
new system has lately been pro-
posed by Mr.. Alexander Forsyth,
which consists in twisting the grass
into ropes, and winding these ropes
around . wooden core OF mandrel,
20 that when the latter is removed
the ropes form hollow cylinders. AT
first sight, it would seem that this
process must be q very expensive
one; but it is claimed that these hol-
low cylinders OF hay occupy SO little
room that they may be dried under
cover, and when so covered they re-
tain the properties of fresh grass in
such perfection that the improve
ment more than compensates for the
increased cost. The hay is said to
be beautifully green and highly fra

DR.. J. Unzieker, Of Cincinnati, and

tho dsooctioh of the leaves of the
chestnut tr~ee-caStdRea UeScG-is a
safe, perfect, and sure remedy for the
coure Of whooping cough. During
the past two years this medicine has
bud y fair trial, and We all agree that,
at Last, 4 remedy has been found to
cope with the disease. In every case
il has given decided relief within the
FIRST two weeks. By its use the cough
is aS once cat short, patients rest
easier through the night from the
time they commence taking it, and
after ten or fifteen days from that
time, the symptoms disappear very
rapidly. The method Of administer
ing the leaves is as follows Place
haitian ounce Of the leaves in one pint
of water, in any convenient vessel
apply heat, 20 that it approach a
boiling point ; then empty the whole,
without straining, into any earthen
vessel-a teapot say. To be partakon
of occasionally throughout the day,
every day, especially at beStime-as
much rs the patient will drink. Su.
gar may be added to the decoction,
If preferred, in the same way as tea is
