The international Commercial Convention
at Portland on the 9th Of August, called o.
tensibly to further the project Of railroad ex-
tension 10 tho far West, seems TO have been
converted into convention of frec.traders, 10
advance the project Of renewal of free trade
with the whole ncw-iormed modern Dominion
of Canada.
Are our government and people troubled
with memories 80 short and treacherous as TO
be ready to extend the boon Of free trade to
people who bat four years ago sought to in
fliet upon US all the injury they could, and at
time when our country was bleeding at ev-
cry pore. and struggling in death gnpple
with the most wicked and gigantic rebellion
that ever disgraced this fair earth They
harbored and protected assassins and raiders
and showed Enthusiastically where their sympa-
thies were, and what at heart they most earn
estly desired But, thanks TO the brave har-
dihood of our Northern and Western soldiers
all their assistance and fayors 10 our enemies
came to naught, though the struggle was pro-
! longed, wasting more lives and treasure by
this designing, unprincipled contemplate,
secret and undermined maneuyreing That
country is still the delightful retreat Of the
! head Of this rebellion--Jeff Dayis-as IL has
been throughout the years of the war for his
coadjutors who sought that realm to make war
in our rear. Even that traitor in our midst,
/ Nallandingham, when sent 10 the enemy for
his evil deeds, found no asylum there, bat in
this blessed Dominion of Canada, found con-
genial home, and happy field in which to
work out his traitorous designs against his
country. r1i4'4
| 1t seems that the Convention was not unan-
imous for free trade; Mr. Prentiss Of Ban.
gor made some very sensible remarks against
it, showing eonelusiyey how We would be in
jured by such connection, when he was hus-
tied down by the confusion Of the free-iraders.
a beautiful spirit this; free tyade vifh this
Dominion is of more consequence than free
speech--the latter must be put down and
stopped when it does not approve of the for
mer. "Tell it not in CATH" a disgrace to
an American convention to put man down
because he docs not advocate free trade. Let
US hope that a majority Of that Convention,
as we believe is the fact, was made up Of Sc.
cesh procliyities, for no fair minded ffree-trad-
or would resort to such a low, contemplate
trick to silence an opponent. 1t is the arru-
ment of the BLACKBOARD and the bully.
Shall il be said that free trade with this
Dominion will benefit these States equally

Seymonr rs a Statesman.

One of the most ridiculous prctentions Of
Governor Seymour's admirers IS their con-
slant assertion that he is statesman. We
would like to inquire wherein his statesman
ship consists2 On what occasion was it ex-
hibited2 He never held any federal Office
whatever, and the only legislative position he
ever occupied was that OF member of Assem-
bly,. If his claim is based on his speeches, it
may be said Of them generally, that they are
nothing but superficial and falsilying criticisms
of the opposite party, appeals to the passions
and prejudices of the rabble, and the parade
Of rhetorical generalities, which characterize
the demagogue rather than the statesman
He has no other claim TO distinction than
that of being willy, ambitious, hypocrtical
and jesuitcal politician. lie has five times
been candidate for Governor of this State
and thrice been defeated. The first time he
was elected, he won the gratitude Of the
Democratic rum-sellers, by vetoiug the pro-
hibitory liquor law, and on his second tern,
he won similar favor among the Northern
sympathisers with rebellion, by vetoing the
law allowing Union soldiers to vote in the
field. As a negotiator with rioters in Now
York, he showed his skill at diplomacy by
calling them his g friends, p and promising "a
stop the drafts but If he has ever shown any
wisdom in relation to national affairs we have
not been able to discover it, record 1t is q
significant fact that no democratic adlninistra-
ton has ever called him to its cabinet, and
even now he has very little prestige with his
party outside oc this State. He is a man Of
leisure, which he has devoted 10 studying the
arts of a demagogue. His role has been new.

ton, but secretly always TO seeksi it, lie has
