The tables Of the trade Of the port for the past

duce exports and the revival Of spscie shipments.
The export of produce is the heaviest on record;
export Of corn one Of the heaviest Of the year. 1t
is not likely that we shall continue 10 export much
coin; but the active movement of produce ON our
railways justifes the belief that our shipments of
food will continue to be large throughout the win

WHICH SHALL BE PRESERVED!


The plain question now presented to
the North IS, shall the Republican party
or the Union break The New York
Tribune says that tho Republican platform
must be lived up to or the Union is bro.
ken into fragments. The Democratic par
ty and the conservative Republicans say
that the Union must be preserved at all
hazards, no matter what becomes ol party
organizations and party platforms. 1t is
a simple question of value. Which is
worth the most, the Union or the Repub-
lIcan party? We have managed to live
happily and prosperously without Re-
publican party for many years, and can
do SO for many years to come; but can we
live without the Union? When the real
ity of this issue is fully realized, we im-
agine there are very few men living in the
State of Pennsylvania who who would not
rather sec the Republican party sink into
nothingness, than that the Union should
be broken into fragments and the country
converted into the theatre Of bloody
iratrCdal war.


Compromise not only destroys the
government and destroys the Union, it
destroys the Republican party" says the
Tribune. Well, if the Republican party is
so inimical TO the Interests ofthe Southern
States that it cannot survive a peaceful
settlement OF the troubles it has created
and cherished, it ought to perish. When'
ever party gains the ascendancy in
country whose organic law was created by
COMPROMISE thai cannot afford TO perpet'
uate The existence of the nation in The
same spirit of mutual accommodation
this fact affords sufficient evidence thatit
was constructed upon a wrong basis
There is nothing LEFT Tor it but to do right
or break. fit persists in wrong doing, it
deserves annihllation.


If the Union is not to be preserved by
compromise, because compromise would
inure the Republican party, how can 1T
be preserved? Force will not do it.
Successful war would not do it, for it would
end in one side being the victor, and tho
other the vanquished-and this would
prove destructive of Union of equals
Unsuccessful war would not do it; for it
would establish the independence of a
Southern Confederacy. Nothing can do
itbut compromise, m ltual accommoda'
ton, renewed and perpetual amity.-Pa-

EXTREMELY PRoBABLE-The New Orleans

that there will be more economy in the

Grafton that this Southern Confederacy was

1t does not require extraordinary sagacity,
says the Boston Transcript, to perceive that
trade is perhaps the controlling motive ope-
rating to prevent the return of the seeding
States to the Union which they have aban-
doned. Alleged grievances in regard to sla-
very were originally the causes for the sepa
ration of the cotton States but the mask has
been thrown off, and it is apparent that the
people of the principal seeding States are
now for commercial independence. They
dream that the centres of traffic can be chang
ed from Northern to Southern ports. The
merchants of New Orlea ms, Charleston and Sa
vannah are possessed with the idea that New
York. Boston and Philadelphia may be
shorn, in the future, of their mercantile great
ness by revenue system vergng upon free
trade If the Southern Confederacy Is al
lowed to carry out policy by which only
nominal duty is laid upon imports, no doubt
the business of the chief Northern cities will
be seriously injured thereby.


The difference is so great between the tar
iii of the Union and that of the Confederate ed
States, that the entire N orthwest must find it
TO their advantage to purchasr their import
ed goods at New Orleans rather than at New
York In addition to this, the manufacturing
interest of the country will suffer from the
increased impcrtatious resulting from low
duties, which will be paid to the government
of the "Confederate" States bankrupting the
General Government. The latter would be
false to all its obligations, if this state of
things were not provided against "To sus-
tain the General Government" says the AL
bany Evening Journal "a new class of "Co
ercionists' will very soon take the field The
conservative merchants of the cities of the
seaboard will not like to see their trade di-
verted They will, therefore, be found in
sympathy with the Administration, whose
purpose it is to transfer the Custom officers
for the Gulf States from the marble edihces
which have been erected 10y the Government,
in New Orleans, DC, to the quarter decks of
armed frigates, to be stationed at the en-
trance of the harbors."


The amount of duties now collected by the
seeding States at New Orleans, Savannah,
Charles on, DC is over $4,000 per day.
The method which will be adopted by the
Lincoln Administration to put stop to the
abstraction of its revenue is referred to in
the proceeding paragraph from the Albany
journal, which comments upon the effect OF
this policy as follows:


"ln thus collecting the revenue, quite as
well as by holding an isolated fort at fear
full expenditure of treasure and blood, can the
authority of the Government be vindicated.


This will be no blockade That, as the
law of blockade is now construed is nearly
practical impossibility ona coast line of thou
sands of miles 1t will involve US in no con-
troversy with foreign powers and may be
carried out as easily as floating light ship
can be maintained in Boston harbor.

THE CANADIAN SENTIMENT ON THE WAR
The Boston Journal says; Much has been
said in the papers of late in regard to the
hostile feeling Of the people of Canada toward
the North in the present struggle. 1t is true
that they feel little sore at the tone of GER
tain newspaper attacks upon England and
that country, which induces them to joke
rather severely any American travelling
there upon the defeat at Bull Run, and the
other reVerses of the campaign.


An American gentlemen who has lately
returned from visit TO some of the princi-
pal Canadian cities, and who took some pains
TO obtain true idea of the state of public
sentiment there, has reached a different con-
clusion. He states that upon the principles
involved in the contest, the Canadians are
almost unanimously in favor of the North
and some expressed willingness to shoul-
der their muskets, If such course could be
allowed, and fight with their neighbors over
the border in favor Of the principles of liberty
and good government. They are altogether
incredulous, also of the statement that En-
gland is watching for an opportunity TO de-
clare in favor of the South.


A rebel officer, who has lately reached
Canada from the South, fully confirms the
statements current here of the starving con.
dition of the Southern army in Virginia
He states that since the Bull Run battle theiI
situation has been truly terrible, from ths
lack of all the necessaries of life.
