The great events of his Administration were the vetoing of the United States bank bill, and the making of preparations for admitting Texas—a measure which was brought about shortly after his retirement in 1845. Since that date Mr. Tyler lived on his plantation, near tlie village of Hampton.

Only a few days have past since the discovery | was made by our nearest neighbours that Canada} out a great deliverance. But then the debt we} is “ foreign country,” aud not part of the northern | federation. It naturally created a profound sen- | sation among an excitadle population. From the | threats that were made to cut all connection with | Canada, one might have supposed that a Chinese |} wall was about to be erected along the entire svuthern frontier of the lakes. Our people who now go to New York and other American cities, to purchase millions of dollars worth of goods, every year, were to be fenced out with passports, made as vexatious as possible; and the accouat between the two countrics was to be closed for ever. It was to be a test of good citizenship, in the Northern States, for a man to be a cordial hater of the very name of Canada. It is announeed that, since Canada is a “foreign | country,” the Reciprocity Treaty nust be abolished porthwith. A late telegram trom Washington announces that a strong effort is to be made to re- peal the treaty; and the reason given is “ the un- friendly spirit shown by Canada” to the northern half of the Union, which still remains in possession of the govermnent, in the beleaguered city of Washington. There is no novelty in ‘this threat; it has been made every year since into operation; and we have come to as regularly as the meeting of Congress, or the re- |tura of winter. But if the threat is stale, the | foundation on which it stands, at pre Canada, the complaint russ, has shown an wa- friendly spirit towards the North. } neutrality is complained of; no act of the Cana- dian Government or people is impeached. Our people have not thrown up their hats and hurrahed tor the suceess of an effort which was directed to- wards the destruction of the independence of the Southern Confederacy. We plead guilty; but we must say it is the strangest reason ever given in justification of a premed:tated violation of a treaty sulemuly ertered into, after the fullest considera- tion. Last year, and the year before, aud the year | before that, the threatened breach of treaty con- tract was to be justified by reference to the tariff legislation of Canada. Not that Canada could be charged with being untrue to her treaty obliga- tious. Then, as now, it was a spiritual affair. The body of the treaty was unscathed, but its ghostly essence had met a_grievous affront. We hardly know what to make of a people who are perpetually seeking pretexts on which to justify | their declared intention to show how utterly re- gardless they are of the most solemn obligations. | If the Northerners are not tired of proclaiming their anxiety to prove to all the world that no | faith can be put in their national honor, even when | bound by the most solemn treaty engagements, we | are quite tired of listening to the everlasting repe- tition of a code ef public mors lity that would stamp with disgrace a tmbe of savages. It is very un- desirable that such loose national morality should become fawiliar to the ears of our people. There is nothing very edifying in the boast of an indi-| vidual that he intends to break his word or rob a} hen roost. The treaty, of which the violation is thus peri-| odically menaced, is by no means the one-sided arrangement that it is said tobe. It secures to the United States the right of navigating the St. zawrence, as well as the greater and more protit- able privilege of fishing in the Gulf of St. Law- rence and all the other rich waters of British America. If the agreement could be broken up, in accordance with the scheme yearly set afloat in the State of New York, and agitated at Washing-| ' the treaty went ‘ tt look for it sent, is new. ; j ton, not oue of the fishery rights that were pre- viously in dispute would now be yielded to the | Nortwern federation. If these assailants could! suceeed in demolishing the treaty, they would, at | the same time, have to make up their minds to | forego everything beyond their bare legal claim to | the fisheries, as it existed prior to 1054. They would drive the Upper Canada trade frem New York to the St. Lawrence and Halifax. The com- meree of British America, thus transferred te our cities, the Atlantic cities of the Northern States would suffer a serious declension of trade. We should not long remain without a winter sea-port. British America would obtain a virtual monoply of the rich sea fisheries on its interminable sea coasts; and a commercial marine second to that of | one or two of the principal nations of the world, | would, in a few years, spring up. We do not affect to undervalue the advantages whieh the Reciprocity Treaty confers. But these | i - If the object of the Northerners in desiring to break up the | treaty ix to injure Canada, they could not attain | it without injuring themselves in at least an equal | degree, This is what we desire them to under-| stand.
