CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.

The draft of the Reciprocity
Treaty With Canada does not meet
the Senator's approval. He fails TO
see in it any advantages TO be gain.
ed by the whole country, end espec
tally by the States of the North west.
The proposed treaty would give to
Canada substantially the advantages
of being a State of the Union, while
she still retains all the advantage of
the British connection, and is TO US,
10 every respect, foreign country.
Her adherelce TO the British Gov
erIment springs from hostility TO the
United States; her trade and sfiilia-
tions are naturally with us. and for
fse months IN the year she ID shut
out from commercial connection
with Europe save through our terri
tory. Canada does not nor cannot
flourish in her present political rels-
tions, and in the interest of her inde-
pendence the Reciprocity Treaty
should not be concluded. So long
ss she chooses TO remain part OF
Great Britain, she should be consist
emily treated as such.

DUB STANDARD OF INTEGRITY.

Nothing seems to enrage the Fusionists
so much as the high standard prescribed
by the REPUBLICAN for the nominations.
The Picayune has already fallen off few
points from its Republican course. We
had anticipated that it would have copied
with commentator our notice of a model
Republican official. Now it intimates
that such examples are rare. By no
means. The Republican party in 1872
discovered that there was very scabby
lot of sheep that had come in from various
folds. 1t was determined to separate these,
and purify the Republican flock. The
Picayune and its peers hearing that this lot
was for sale, and that however mean it was
an improvement on their dilapidated
drove, took the lot on terms which have not
transpired, and they were driven thence
to the market Of 1872 by Shepherd Gree
ley. That this lot was exposed, ex-
PEELED, and reflected much shame upon
the Fosionists is no fault of ours. That
the Fusion party is now held responsible
for all the corruption and abuses anterior
to their purchase is no just subject of blame
to the Republicans. We did not want
that stock They did. We did not choose
to employ it to carry An object by fraud.
The Fusionists stipulated for that very
thing; it being put into the acticles of
purchase as equal in value to twenty thou
sand votes. Had the Republican party
intended to employ the politicians
which it turned over to the Fusionists
in 1872 it would never have failed with
them. The discovery of these frauds
caused the expulsion of those politicians.
Their former capacity for fraud COM
mended them to the Fusion purchaser.
Now when the Picayune shall have vindi-
Gated the alleged abuses of an administra-
ton which it adopted and sent to Wash
ington as an advocate and representa-
tive, we will give it few more cases
of the Republican regime. We do not
choose to go into the antiquities, but the
power of Democratic treasurer who got
away with hundred or so thousand
dollars at a time when money was
worth going for is fresh in the memory of
all. That We can give no later examples
of Democratic offenders is chiefly to be
accounted for by the fact that they have
not had access to State or federal finances.
Should such calamity as Democratic
success befall US, who can estimate the
results of rapacity accumulated by years
of financial abstinence. When the Fusion
organs shall have indicated their asso-
Citations of 1872, we will give them some
more examples. 1t is, however, wholly
useless to write copies for them when they
have not a scrap Of official stationery
wherein to initiate it.

DEAD, HALT AND BLIND.

The Picayune replies to an article in
yesterday mornings REPUBLICAN, wherein
General Sypher's services in obtaining ap-
preparations for river outlet are set forth.
The Pic states:
It is q very lame and inadequate apology.
Sypher actually got $4,000 for this pur-
pose, and there is also the same appropria-
ton that was made last session to continue
the present altogether inadequate mode of
keeping open the bar.
Well, what of it? General Sypher
succeeded in obtaining an appro-
priation of $4,000 in addition to the
s125, 600 usually granted for work on the
mouth of the river. Therefore, he should
be blamed because he did not secure
millions for the State while fifty thousand
of our people we're subsisting on govern
ment rations and clamoring for more.
Does the Picayune want the jetties or the
canal? 1t must be remembered that it has
never positively pronounced in favor of
either scheme, but has sought to ride
both hobbies at once.
The Picayune complains:
Last season, in the very midst of our
brikest business, and when We had the
most urgent need for increased draft on the
bar, the appropriation ran out, and the Of
ficer in command of the dredging boats
abandoned the work and came to this city
and astounded and alarmed our merchants
by announcing to them this abandonment.
It was Just at this time that General
Sypher, always prompt to serve the mer-
chants of New Orleans, introduced his
bill appropriating $4,000 to continue
this work. The very morning that he re-
ceived information that the work was sus-
pended for want of funds, the bill was
presented and referred to the Committee
on Commerce. In three days it was re-
ported and passed, and the work on the
passes recommended What better evil
dence of General Sypher's zeal does the
Picayune want than that?
As for the item of s125, 900 in the river
and harbor appropriation bill, that was the
amount estimated by the government en-
gineers as necessary to keep up the work
without further interruption, and it is to
be presumed the engineers knew what
they required when they named that fig
ure-at any rate, We prefer their opinion
to that of the Picayune.
