The questions and complications now loom
ing up in the neighborng province of Canada
are not to be lightly treated. They present
matters that are already of dreadful note to the
New Dominion, and they may become of
national Importance to the United States. The
tide of events seems to be irresistibly floating
the whole North British possessions into the
Union, and although the Parliamentary leaders
buffet against it they cannot prevent the final
consummation. At present the New Domi-
nion is afflicted with Fenian alarm, war
against Winnipeg, and disaffection in Newfound
land, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and, to
certain extent, even in Montreal, Toronto and
the Dominion capital. We have heretofore
shown that this disaffection is spreading
and now threatens a dissolution of the
Dominion, return to the old separate
colonial governments, and, it may be, even a
colonial war of independence against Great
Britain. In regard to the Fenian alarm, we
cannot say that tho Canadians need be in much
perturbation. The greatest evil the Fenian
aggressions seem able to do them is simply
the keeping up of an alarm, which calls for
expenditures, money, taxes and public grum-
bling and serves the Fenian purpose in SO far
that it makes the Canadian people wretched
and dissatisfied. As to the Winnipeg war, the
great expedition now being fitted out to take
tho field in that far away province early in
May is apt to come to grief. Winnipeg will
prove Warsaw to any force Canada can send
against her. Besides, there are complications
that are liable to entangle Canada with the
United States. The Fenians may harass the
expedition on..the lakes or in passing the Saut
Ste. Marie canal, or through Minnesota, or the
government may and is quite likely to forbid
its passage through our grounds altogether.
Thence complications may arise for which
Winnipeg could never pay. We advise Canada
to accept the cheapest and most natural solu-
ton of all her difficulties in annexation.

SWIFT JUsTIcE.-John Brennan, Philadel-
phia footpad, assaulted an old gentleman
named Marsh on Tuesday morning, about
three o'clock, at the corner Of Prince and
Greene streets, beat him severely and stole his
watch. Brennan was captured Immediately,
and on Wednesday he was sentenced by Judge
Bedford to fifteen years and six months in the
State Prison. He is probably picking rock
already at Sing Sing, regretting his strange
misapprehension of the ways of New York JUS
tice and signing for the good old days in Phila-
delphia. When such sentence as that is
sprung on man within thirty-six hours it is
apt to have salutary effect on bis ''pals, who
literally know not what day may bring forth.

Mr.. PowelE's Speech.

Il he candidates for District Attor-
ney in this District made the opening
speeches of the campaign here last
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Powell, Re.
publican candidate, led off in short
speech, telling Of the origin of the two
parties of the day. He proved that
the old Democratic party died with the
def eat of Mr.. Douglas, in 1860, and
that the present Democratic party was
organized by q minority of the old
party that split off from the true party
and nominated Breckenridge and that
the present Republican party was
formed in 1861, under the name of
Union. When these points were es-
tablished, he paid his respects to the
Albany platform and gave history of
the passage of the celebrated. Sth reso-
luton. lie proved conelusively that
it meant reputation, and was so stated
in the original draft but that Tor pol
icy it was changed to equitable ad>
justment." That only one man in the
Convention opposed reputation be-
cause it was wrong.
Mr.. Buffers remarks were short,
and, as his opponent afterwards said,
were excellent considering the material
he had to work upon. The speech was
one of the olden type, where the eagle
siars, and scars, and-and, lit on Dad 5
wood>pile. He denounced the Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth Amendments,
and the tariff, thus kicking over the
18th resolution of the Albany platform
lie opposed the banking law, the pre-
nliums given to inventors, aud desired
the people to cut loose from party and
cast their votes for measures and men
that they conceived to be right.
Mr. Powell, in short reply, made
excellent points, explaining the bank,
Ing system and proving couclusiyely
that taEiff that incidentally protects
home manufactures is what the nation
must have TO Insure prosperity. and
Tat it was to the interest Of every

Tho Herald and Reputation.

The Herald is out for the Fay con-
struction OF the 9Th resolution Of the
Albany platform, and in answer to an
argument, made by the Oregoaiqn, to
to the effect that the repudiaiion OF the
debt would annihilate two thousand.
millions of property, makes use of the
following argument to sustaia his re-
pudiat;oD sentiments:
When a proposition to destroy sew
eral hundred millions Of slave property
in the South BY an emancipation proc
lamation was first advanced, manmpa-
pers on the Democratic side predicted
that all sorts of convulsions would re,
suit, and that general disorder and ruin
woald be entailed. The proclamation
was, however, issued, and at one swoop
more than two thousand millions of
values were wiped out of existence.
Now, while the results OF this policy
wcre serious, they did not entail the
extent of ruin and misery upon the
country that was predicted. Our pur.
pose in alluding to this old mattea Just
now is to exhibit the similarity of the
prophecies made in regard to the abo.
lition of slavery, with those uttered
now by the Radical papers in regard to
the equitable adjustment of the public
debt.
When the emancipation proclama-
ton was made it was necessity of
war, aud one that had to he made to
save the life of the country. Again,
negroes were not money; they were
not destroyed, but the ownership of
them was only transferred from the
former masters to the negroes them>
selves.
The wealth of nation lies in three
things-the amount of money or prop
erty, the number Of laborers and the
incentive to work. 1t makes no differ>
ence how often capitai changes owners
50 that it is not destroyed or taken
fromethe country. The argument Of
the Herald is fallacious, and the propo-
sition to repudiate the whole or any
part Of the national debt is not par
allel case with the emancipation of the
negroes. The number of laborers was
not diminished by the order setting
them free, but, on the other hand, the
incentive impelling them to labor was
greater than before, and the nation was !

In Mr.. Buffers speech, last We'd.
nesday night, he laid down the broad
doctrine that the people could do no
wrong in their collective governmental
capacity. In speaking of the Four
teenth Amendment, he said it took
away the liberties of the people, and
was a great wrong. Inasmuch as the
people adopted that amendment, Mr..
B.'s position is thus stated. The neople
has taken something from the people
that the people could rot take.

The Tariff Question.

The tariff question is one that has
entered into the politics of the nation
TO greater or less extent for he past
forty years, and it seems to be one of
those issues that must be discussed,
over and again, at every recurring con-
test. Really there should be no argu~
m mt on the subject this year in Ore>
gon, for both the party platforms have
adopted almost the same resolution
the Albany platform announcing that
the Democrats are in favor of tariff
on imports for a revenue alone, and the
Portland resolutions declaring in favor
of tariff for revenue, but discrimi-
mating in favor of domestic manufac-
lures, SO as not to diminish its eficien-
cy for the purpose of revenue. In dis
eussing this question Democrats use
the arguments, in part, made years ago
against the prohibitory tariff or tax
levied, not for the purpose of revenue,
but for the protection Of home manu-
tactures. They lose sight of one i'm
portant doctrine Of the old debaters on
this subject, to-wit: that Congress has
power 10 lay and collect such duties as
they may deem necessary for the pur-
poses Of the revenue, and wiAin these
Fmis SO to arrange these duties as IN
eidsatalky and to that extent to give
protection to the manufacturer. This
is the old doctrine, held by the advo>
Gates Of . low tariff, and is the. policy
announced by the Republicans in Ore
Pon to>day, SO that really there is no
difference between the two parties when
the platforms are taken as the index.
