Mr. Heard, was, however, happy to say that the opinion of Western statesmen had undergone a great change, and they are now in favor of @ thoroughly fair Reciprocity Treaty with the Proviness of British Ameriea—not a one-sided one like the late Treaty; but one which will satisfy all parties, including # registry for our shipping im American ports and a participation in the coasting trade of the United States, Que of the gentlemen who advocates these liberal views, is a Mr. Taylor, of Minnesota. He ia of opinion that the shipping as well as the agricultural interests should be consulted whes framing a new Treaty, and that the time bas gone by when the interests of the men engaged in the commerce of the country ean be over looked. The shipping, fishing and agricultural interests are so mixed ap and blended together, \that the only trne way for the country to prosper is for these to prosper all together. Two great objects, however—Railways and | Navigation—were steadily kept in view by the and the resolutions relative to these passed ananimous!y.

Asa matter of course, the lumber that came over the lines free of daty crippled the lumbermen of that State. His great argument was, that the lumbermen of the adjoining Provinces were fed on bread and water, and were oaly paid ten cents a day for their labor. It was, there fore, impossible that the well-fed and well- paid lambermen of Maine could, by any possi- bility, compete with miserable, half-starved wretches enzazed in the sume occupation ia This appeared to be his yreat argument. As a clenchez, we presume, he told his hearers that as soon as the late Treaty expired, the trade of Maine re vived, and the lumbermen are now doing 8 first-rate business, and consequently do wot wish the present arrangement destroyed.
