ST. JOHN, N. B., May Is. 1871.
Public feeling in New Brunswick still runs high
against the treaty. In the Legislative Assembly the
Attorney General moved q series Of resolutions IN
opposition to the treaty, declaring thar with no
definition OF the existing rights and duties OF the
citizens OF The respective countries II proposes TO
substitute unlimited, dangerous concessions
for valuable privileges The resolutions
maintain that no equivalent Is offered
for the free admission TO the Canadian
fisheries. and as for reciprocity in fishery that Is
barren and delusive exchange. lie commended that
the proposed money compensation Is erroneous in
principle, impracticable iii execution and does not
secure full commercial privileges. was had under
the old reciprocity treaty, which he asserted to be
the only fair exchange The hope is expressed that
the Canadian Parliament will not ratify the treaty
but Will still carry out us policy OF protecting the
fisheries.
The Attorney General delivered long and very
able speech In support OF the resolutions, contend
lng that the Canadians should stand up for their
rights He argued that the Commission could not
fairly estimate the value OF the fisheries OF the two
countries The award would not be just, because.
In the section providing for the appointment OF the
Comins sion, clause had been inserted stating that
the United States did not admit that they had re-
ceved any advantages in excess Of Canada. He
Indignantly rcpelied the idea that the provinces
would be forced into annexation by the treaty and
said Of the mother country. Though she should
