THE Boston ADVERTISER closes an article
on the effect of the treaty upon the Dominion
and the probable result to the Provinces of
failure to !ratify, with the following observa.
ton:
But the refusal to ratify on the part of Can
ada would not be to the United States an I'M
mixed evil. Indeed, many of our fishermen
would be glad to see the fisheries articles of
the treaty defeated on their merits, But
there is further consequence thereof which
ought to afford some satisfaction to the conn
try at large. The failure OF ratification and
the overthrow of the Macdonald ministry
would be followed by the accession to power
OF party more favorable to a separation of
Inc PROVINCES from the mother country. The
recognized organs of the opposition protest
against this, TO be sure; but that the existing
relation is irksome to them. and that thew are
watching for favorable opportunity to break
1t and start afresh, is manifest to all who
nave watched the course of Canadian poli
tlcS The last two or three or three years. We
VIII not speculate on the connection between
canadian independence and annexation. but
that the former should be encouraged. even
as hnal movement, by the United States
heeo not De argued. In the light of this suo
gestion 1t appears that our commissioners at
washington Dullded perhaps better than thew
knew. They have invol ged the Canadians IN
a dilemma. 1t they ratify the treaty thew
guarantee us the advantages. be they more or
less, which the treaty affords. If they reject
1t, they invite TO the government faction
which might dissolve the British connection.
Our nel9hbors have the choice of alternatives.
and their action will be watched with inter.

treaty ITSELF
