OUR Halifax neighbor the Recorder is now
unhappy at the result of the San Juan decis-
ion. 1t says
England and Canada seem to be play
ing the part of jackal and cats paw to
the great nations OF the world. The former
consents to submit to arbitration her unques-
toned rights, because they are disputed by a
pretender; while the Dominion is kept in the
dark as to the result until it is suddenly
sprung upon her to her loss. We should find
perhaps better and more appropriate smile
by comparing England to gallant ship with
cowardly captain, and towing the Dominion
of Canada. Every now and then, although
there is no danger ahead save what timor-
Gus imagination conjures, the Dominion is
cast off, and taken on again shorn of some of
its fair proportions.
We advise our neighbors to advocate an
nexation to the United States. There would
then be no cause for anguish on account of
Washington treaties and San Juan Decisions
and it would have Reciprocity treaty that
would be joy forever.

POETIC FRENZY.-There is a man who
adds to some other little shades upon his char
acter, the heinaus crime of writing campaign
poetry. He sent a specimen of his doggerel
to us, which was returned, with civil note
stating that we were not using campaign
poetry now, instead of finding its natural
resting place in our waste-basket. Now this
fellow goes about complaining that he is not
appreciated and that we lack poetic taste.
STiwe was when the brains were out
the man would die and there an end," but
this inefable idiot proves that the conditions
of existence have changed. When the much
talked of Asylum for Idiots is established we
will furnish the management with the name
OF first-class subject, with density ofintel-
lectual vacuity sufficient to set one institution
up in business.

Why Democrats should Vote for Greeley.

The New York World, in the last issue
which will reach all it's country readers be-
fore election, explains why Democrats should
support Mr.. Greeley. 1t virtually confesscs
itself unable to give Liberal Republicans any
advice on the subject, and no one can won
der at this inability when it appears that the
reasons stimulating Democrats to exertion in
Mr. Greeley's behalf are precisely those that
make it impossible for any Republican to sup
port him. The World says that if Grant is
elected he will have Republican cabinet,
if Mr.. Greeley is elected "a majority of his
advisers will be Democratic statesmen"
Again it speaks of ''the certainty of Demo-
cratic cabinet as Mr.. Greeley's confidential
advisers" This sort of appeal may be most
effective with the ordinary Democrat, to
whom the spoils of Office are the chief motives
of political activity; but how about that
smaller and more reputable class of Demo
Gratis to whom the World addressed itself in
the interval between the Cincinnati and Bal
timore conventions? How will such an ap-
peal strike those whom the Wortd begged
and entreated not to fall in with the craze for
Greeley, on the express ground that an en-
dorsement of that candidate would show such
an utter lack of principle on the part
of everybody concerned, that success would
be impossible. 1t declared a hundred
times that ratification at Balti-
more of the Cincinnati nominations
would mark the abandonment, by both par
ties to the corrupt bargain of all principle,
and the beginning of mere scramble for
office. 1t warned its readers every day that
such a recklessly wicked course on the part
of the Democratic party, corresponding with
and experimenting Mr.. Greeley's ready aban-
donment of his sincere convictions, would
create such scandal as would forever shame
those who engaged in the unhallowed scheme
1t besought Democrats in the name Of decency
consistency, conscience and ordinary morality
to "stick to their canoes; and not gethought-
lessly into the wild political debauch con-
trived for them by the Blairs, Fenton, Hor-
ace Greeley and - gentleman rarely men
toned except under an alias in the editorial
columns of the fstidious World. 1t cannot
be the same class of readers that it now ex-
horts to work for the triumph of political
trickery and the unprincipled devices which
it has itself exposed with more vigor than
almost any other journal in America. 1t |
must be, too, that the most disastrous con-
sequences which it predicted have followed |
from the Democratic swallowing of the Gree
ley bait, that the tidal wave of corruption
which it foresaw so clearly. has at last en-
quilted the World itself. At any rate les APP
peal to its readers on the eve of election is |
simply this and nothing more-''Vote for
Greeley if you want an office p

In a recent issue of Harper's Weekly was
an editorial speaking of the characteristics of
Mr.. Greeley and of his paper (even since it
ceased to be ''an organ") as shown not only
by its vituperation of Colfax, Blaine, Dawes
and other able and pure statesmen but by its
correspondingly extravagant praise Of such
men as Curtin, Mcclure, Fenton and Scovel.
This brings to mind Dryden's description of
the Duke of Buckingham who is mentioned
under The name of Zimri in that poets poet
ical satire of Absalom and AchitopheL Any
one can see that 'Old Honesty" in his poIit-
zeal and professional conduct is like the pro-
figate duke though the antipodes of him in
his personal habits. We change but one
word to make the description exact:-
''Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong;
Was everything by starts and nothing long;
But, in the course of one revolving moon,
Was farmer, writer statesman and bufoon.
Railing and praising were his usual themes;
And both, to shew his judgment, in extremes;
So violent, over-civil,
That every man with him was God or devil"
