Itcciproclty How the Question Stands.
From th Timet.
In what position does the queftion of reci
procity stand f What U the policy demanded
by a due regard Jo the revenue, the capital, and
the industry of the United States ? What
answer shall be piven to the wandering diplo
matists whom the provinces have sent to renew
a bargain for their advantage f
Depplte the chronic bitterness of our party
conflicts, It is satisfactory to know that upon
one vital point connected with this question
our leading public men, and our leading journals
of both parties, are in the main agreed. Union
and Democrat, all couccde that the existing
one-sided arrancement shall be broneht to an
end. There may not be entire harmony touch
ing the course pursued in bringing about Its
termination, but upon the tact that its operation
was partial and unjust, and that ics continuance
should not be permitted, there is little or no
dillerence of opinion.
Tue provincial papers, we see, would fain per
Fiiade themHelves that the lceling aeainst the
treaty is the product of some transient cause,
and is In part the result of lobby influence.
They will discover thir mistake in due season.
F..r we are persuaded that upon lew subjects
outside of the great constitutional issues raised
by the Rebellion, has public opinion pronounced
a more emphatic verdict than upon this question
of so-called reciprocity. Here and there may bo
found nu individual directly or Indirectly inte
rested in some branch of provincial trade, who
demurs to the Judgment and pleads for its post
ponement, if not its reversal. But the excep
tions are so rare that they serve to indicate the
strength of the rule.
Lei us briefly recapitulate. The treaty was
originally accepted by th s country quite as
much because of what it was supposed to imply as
because of what it actually expressed. Its spirit
was deemed more important than its letter. It
was held to foreshadow a steady growth of com
mercial intercourse, and an. ever-widening area
ot commercial enterprise. Ii: these respects
our people have been provokingly disappointed.
The trade fostered by the treaty incited
Catada to the adaption of proiects designed to
deprive our carriers of the irailic on which they
calculated. " Financial dillieulties thence arising
were made a pretext tor a series of tariff charges,
each more inimical to our manufacturing in
dustry than the one which preceded it.
Ibis was bad enough, but it was only the be
ginning of the end. The imposition of higher
duties upon our exports was followed by a
change in the mode of levying duties which
amounted to virtual discrimination against our
importers and in favor of the British trader. The
sau;e unjust principle was brought into plav
against our lake shipowners, in favor of English
and Canadian interests, -in reality, then, Canada
herself abrogated the treaty years ago; her poli
ticians ti am pled on its spirit and disregarded
the principle which gave it lite; and therefore
for it continuar.ee to the present time her people
have been indebted to the generosity, the mag
nanimous forbearance of the United States.
Apart from the principle involved, it has be
come apparent that in almost every sense, the
treaty, viewed from the American stand-point,
has been au unmitigated failure. Under iu in
fluence, one of the best features of our trade
with Canada has declined steadily, until it has
almost ceased to be worth mentioning; and Eng
lish trade thrives in its stead. We send little that
would not be sent, with or without a treaty; we
receive little that would not be received were
the treaty in or out of existence; the chief ditl'er
ence visible consisting in the tact, that whereas
our exports enter tho provincial market loaded
with heavy customs duties, our imports Iroui the
province come into competition with the pro
ducts of our farmers and lumbermen upon terms
peculiarly favorable to the foreign producor. In
other words, we srive a great deal tor nothing.
Evon, the yearly aggregate of trade looks much
larger than it is, because Canada calculates our
exports in greenbacks, while our customs valua
tion ha sold for its basis. Sifted and tried, the
whole thing carries upon its face so much that
looks like humbug, that the wonder is how we
have been inducea to submit to it until now.
The first point to be noted is, then, that tho
actinn ot Congress in reference to the treaty
ought to be and is irrevocable.. There should be
no misunderstanding here. The action was
entered upon deliberately, in full view of conse
quences,' aud by that action we are prepared to
abide. The mockery of reciprocity will termi
nate on the 17th of March, all prayers from
Canada to the contrary notwithstanding. The
idea of a temporary extension should be scouted
as unworthy of notice. We have craved ad
herence to the spirit of the contract through
tiresome years; now wo stand upon the letter of
the notice.
The course hereafter to be pursued by this
country will no doubt be governed bv two con
siderations, alwa9 important, but more import
ant now man at any lormer time, we are re
quired to protect our revenue, and incidentally
to protect our Industry. We do not use the
term in a controversial sense, or in any relation
to the abstract merit ot protection or iree trade
ns a principle. We mean t imply that inasmuch
as the necessities of the Hatiou have given birth
to a system of taxation wi.ich permeates every
where, and makes itaolt felt aliite on the farm,
in the forest, and in the workshop, we are bound
to take care that the products of American labor
sdiull not be exposed to unrestrained competition
with foreign unifies in no way tributary to the
national tnaoivry. To this cxient, probably, tre
trader aud protectionisi coincide.
The burdens borne by our own poo le must bo
shared, in some deirree and some manner, by
any other people who would come in sellers into
our market. Bo long as the existing system of
iuteriml revenue shall la t, so long we should
guard American labor, howsoever employed,
from unequal competition with the products of
ether countries.
Moreover, it will be the duty of Congress to
see that the doctrine of equivalents is mor fairly
applied than in lb34. There mint be a quid pro
quo for every thing. Aud there must be a more
correct valuation ot some ot the things pre
sented bv Crnada under the guise of considera
tion. The navigation ot the St. Lawrence, for
instance, may properly be treated as ot only
trifling value, partly on account of natural and,
thereiore, cverhistinsr causes, partly on account
of that foreign line which lor the time controls
the comiueice of the river.
Tl e bonding system, too. is a lever in our
hands, no longer to reruain idle. It is h system
which, in its relation to Cana fa, yields us bare iy
nominal property. Our carriers have lost their
, share of the trallic, the bulk of tho goods passing
through this coiin'rv to Canada, in bond, enter
ing at Portland, nd beinir carried over a foreign
railway thence to Montreal. In truth, tho bond
ing system, as at this moment used by Canada,
is a contrivance for introducing iuto the pro
vince goods which are a;torvardi smuggled iucj
the United State?. We furnish an instrument
which is used to our detriment. The bondina
svstt in and reciprocity should, therefore, stand
or fall together, so far ns either applies to the
nelghboriiie province.
It is not our business now to discus in detail
the terms of our tutuie commercal relations
with the Br.tkdi Provinces. The general benrlugs
of the treaty, and the senem' principles enter
ing into tho question, are all we have yet ven
tured to touch. "Without essaying the luuctlous
of prophecy, or atiempiinsr to coinoeto with iho

"Faxt bind fast find" should be the governing

Reconstruction.
From the Trihune,
The New York Timet sect fit to say that
"There are certain advocates of negro suffrage
who profess to be willing, under certain condi
tions, to see the Southerii States restored to thoir
trw position in the Union, without requiring
them to assent to a general enfranchisement of
the negro population. Thus, a city Journal,
published mainly in the interest oi the blacks,
says: 'Only render it certain that an honest,
Industrious, thrifty, intelligent negro shall not
be proscribed merely because of his color or
race, and we will aaree to almost anytnlng.' If
tho Journal from which we quote speaking, as
It is presumed to do, for a very considerable
Radical party is sincere in proposing a com
promise, there ought to be little difficulty in
coming to terms .''
As we do not seem to have made ourselves
thoroughly understood by tho Timet, we will
restate our essential position with the utmost pos
sible lucidity. They are as follows:
I. We regard it as of tho highest and most im
minent consequence that all political and civil
distinctions, privileses, disabilities, or differ
ence?, based on caste or color, should be forever
abolished. Never intrinsically lust, they have
by the overthrow of slavery, been rendered
lHi'inelv lniDcrtinent and absurd. While slavery
existed they nad a certain excuse, if no reason.
In the fears of tne slaveholding class; now they
are obsolete In reason and as much bchlud the
ace as the Spanish Inquisition would be in Ohio
or Wisconsin. To our apprehension, this Issue
towers above all others in importance: so that,
white we are devoted to the protection and
diversification of our rational industry, we would
gladly postpone this or any other political end,
to the complete enfranchisement of the hitherto
degraded and downtrodden four millions of our
countrymen.
II. while wo require and strive lor Impartial
suffrage, we do not ask nor desire thai every
man snail be a voter, for we do not thinn every
man ought to be. We hold that no man who
chooses to live by theft, or swindling, or beggary,
or by pandering to vice nohabitual drunkard
no idiot no lunatic no Drolessional camblcr
has any moral right to be a voter. And, while
we propose no educational test, we are perlccily
content to sec such a test ptseuted and adopted,
even though it should for years preclude the en
franchisement ot a large majority of the blacks.
ISo long as no harder tests are applied to or re
quired ot t'lctn than of whites, and no obstacle
interposed to their acquirvn? the knowledge de
manded, we waive a l inquiry, and agree in ad
vance to whatever criterion ot fitness to vote
"conservatives" may see fit to propose.
111. We propose no " compromise" in fact,
we propose nothing. What we are most intent
on is such a recognition by the Southern whites
of the humanity and actual rights of the blacks
as will pr"clude the necessity ot any compro
mise, any higpliny, any contention. We should
even prefer a partial ' measure of Justice freely
accorded by the Southern whites to a complte
one imposed on them by the power of the trium
phant Union. Of all the mad blindness now
.provoking sadness, the blindness which com
pels the blacks to look northward lor cham
pions of their rights is most lamentable. The
South would be this day richer by billions of
dollars if her whites and blacks were thoroughly
reconciled and cured of all reciprocal distrust.
We do wish the ablest and wisest ot the two
races would ferthwith meet, confer, aud aaree
on a basis of future concord and mutual good
will we stipulating beforehand to give our
hearty assent thereto, and to consider their
accord the end of controversy on the subject.
And we hope Congrss may hold the niat.er of
reconstruction in abeyance until it can be seen
whether the manifest and rapid increase and
ditlusion ot goodwill between whites and blacks
at the South may not seasonably result in some
such understanding and reconciliation between
them.
IV. As to what Congress should or should not
do with regard to negro suffrage, it depends so
clearly on the temper und uction ot the Southern
whites, that whatever mlcht be wisely said of it
to-day may have become obsolete and unfit two
weeks hence. If those whites shall see tit to
cherish a disloyal, inimical, rebellions spirit,
and shall bo moved therf bv to annoy and perse
cute Unionists, white or black as in some lo
calities they notoriously have done then we
should judge that they are not yet tit to be "re
constructed" at all. If they are bent on evading
and nullifying the anti-slavery Coutitutional
Amendment, tnen Congress ought to take etfec
tlve measures to defeat that purpose and secure
the treedmen against all forms and degrees of
oppression. But it, on the contrary, the South
ern whites inclir.e Generally to deal fairly by the
Southern blacks, then we would have Congress
touch the matter very lightly as lightly as pos
sible. We have faith' that the Joint Committee
will fairly, searchingly investigate and report
the essential tacts, lor the guidance of Congress
and the information of the country.
Such, bnlly stated, are our views of recon
struction, whether tho limes deems them "sin
cere" or otherwise. We trust they, at any rate,
nre not hard to be understood at least not by
those who wish to comprehend them.
Reconstruction The Power of Congress
and the Schemes ot the Radicals.
From the Jltrald,
The Southern armies are disbanded; the
Southern politicians acknowledge that their
attempt to destroy the eountry was a grand
error, and all resistance to the Government from
the side ot the South is given up. Still civil war
rages, jfend perhaps with more bitterness than it
did when the wh ile country was in arms. The
country is torn by dissen-i .u that is civil in a
double sense, and its best interests are imperilled
by a war move bitter and savage than the former
.Vurwas, ju.-t us the nature ot the politician is
more acrimonijus audi vind.ctive than that of
the soldier. The political extremists of the North
the radical have in simple fact njw taken
the position lately held by the soldiers ol the
South. They ure the savuge and desperate ene
mies ol the Government, the country, the Union,
aud order.
"Not only do they embarrass to the utmost all
the attemprs ol the Executive to fulfil the duties
of his office, so tar a relates to the restoration
ot civil authority in all parts of the country, but
11 is uiuir u.-ui purpose to flop sucn restoration
bv nnv and every means, and to prevent in Con
gress the lcgilution necessary to pacify and set
tle the country. They asert'tiiat their object in
this i to aecuie the rights q: the nero; that
they fear a too rapid reconstruction w ill leava
the negro in fact a slave, though nominally tree;
and that they tiesire to prevent recon.-truction
only till they can secure a guarantee for full i,us
tii'e to ell classes of the Southtrn people. They
make this specious assertion to secure their posi
tion betore the country.
In truth, the negro, is a pretext, and their
philanthropic devotion to his rights is a sham.
Th evidence of this is the tact that it lies with
these radicals to pass through Congress a law
that will give the negro ull tio rights that any
one has ever claimed for him. They can do it;
but they will not, simply because by so doing
thev would restore the country to its normal
position und prevent the political anarchy which
their leaders, Stanton aud Stevens, count upon
io lilt them into higher places than they now
holdt
t'uder the Constitution as it now stands the
negro is in the hands of tho National Legisla
ture. This is the point to which the growth of
the spirit of freedom, contending always fgainst
properly interests and preiudices, has brought
us. We began on this continent, in the colonial
times, with different systems of slavery. The
negro was a slave, the Indian wai a slave, aud
the v bite European emliTiaut was also a slave,
ltcligious freedom was the Ireedoni that the set
tlers sous ht heie, because it was in religion that
they felt the Old World tyranny. But with the
progress of ideas social and political freedom
also came to be discussed; aud when the war ot
the i evolution began the Liberty party, in the
Declaration of Independence, laid down a plat
form of broad principle that looked to the win
ing out ot all political distinctions between man
and man.
On that platform they won the great fight; but
In the hour of victory' thev were compelled to
abandon ccttaln of those principles. This was
to secure a harmony between the States that
was deemed worthy iho sacrifice. The pressure
ot material interests was too great, and the
founder of the republic, in framing the Uonsti
tution, agree J that the original platform was
impracticable to a certain extent. So the Con
stitution secured less than the Declaration had
claimed; but-it secured a great (teal. Our
forefathers compromised on slavery as it was
left with the more readings because, fiercely as
the material interests hold to it, it was then
believed by men of tho best Judgment ttmt it
was a doomed Institution that it was dying out.
It did die out to a irreat degree, and just as it
seemed at its last gasp the growth of cotton
and the invention ot the cotton-gin gave it a
new life.
But there was a great spirit at work In the
world all the time. Wc had in the old struggle
lighted up men's minds by our example, and
started tho great battle for freedom in Europe.
We ct France in motion, and France, carrying
our own Ideas further than we had done,
shamed us by showing the point at which we
had stopped short. So slavery was forced to a
detined frontier, at which it chose to tight us.
We fought it, and it went down forever. The

ot Congress. Congress was empowered to settle
his position by a naturali.ation law. It is now
empowered to' do the same with the negro. All
distinctions between the two races were based
on the fact that the negro was in slavery. Sla
very is wiped out, and all those distinctions go
with it. The late slave Is now an agricultural
laborer, a farmer, a mechanic, new to southern
lawsJust coming under their influence as the
emiginnt from suoihcr land does; and it lies
I with CotiBiess to settle his position Dy anaturan
, zatlon law, which is a suffrage law.
Congress, which tne radicals control, thus bus
the Dower to do iust what they pretend is neces
sary bt what they declare they are delaying
reconstruction to secure. Why, then, do they
not pass tne law they want?' Because au mis
fuss over the negro is a pretense Because what
they really want is anarchy. Because Stanton
and Stevens, the chosen leaders, like a Danlon
and Marat, tear tranquillity and peace.and hope
tor dominion in a strife of extermination against
tho South. Hence . thoir Committee on Ke
construction which is only another Coramit'ee
on Public Safety another Jacobin club to give
direction to all the violent and unscrupulous
elements to make the proscriptions. Iho 1'resi

with which the war power clothes the Execu
tive, began the restoration of the States in the
proper wnv. His Provisional Governors, and
the calling iuto bring the dormant political
vitality ol the people by conventions, weie all
right.
Gencial
Jackson's Earlier and Later
Opinions.
From the World,
The Tribune evades onr arguments, and makes
a superfluous addition to tho innumerable illua-
trations it has given of Its characteristic want
of precision. Wo dealt with tho Coleman letter
as an argument, remarking Incidentally that it
could have no weight as authority, since General
Jackson subsequently changed his opinion. It
is evident, however, that the Tribune attaches
importance to it chiefly as authority, tor the
letter merely repeats the stock arguments of the
protectionists, long -ago' trite. Tho fact that
General Jackson came. In a few years after
wcrds, to perceive their fallacy, makes it absurd
to invoke his name as lending any support to
the protectionist caiwe. Wc called the views ex
pressed by General Jackson in the Coleman
letter (as he himself afterwards considered them)
crude and immature.
To this the Tribune replies that they must have
been the mature views ot his ripest judgment,
since General Jackson was, at that time, buy
seven years of age 1 As if the maturity ot "i
man's judgment on any given question depended
on his age at the time of loniumr it, and not on
tho completeness oi his investigation. What
would be thought of a writer who should quote
from Sir Robert Peel's speeches in favor of the
Corn Laws, made in Parliament at the age ot
tilty-seven, as evidence of Peel's mature opinions
on 'that subject, in tho face of the fact tnat the
Corn Laws were afterwards repealed uhder his
premiership and by his efforts? The Tribune
might, with as much sense, quote from Washing
ton's letter to a British officer in 1774, to prove
that Washington (then forty-four, and in the
maturity of his faculties) ought to be ranked by
posterity as an opponent of American inde
pendence. The Intmne, as if it had a glimmering con
sciousness of the absurdity of this argument,
supports it by a statement still more remarkable.
We quote:
To which wo answer: General Jackson was over
liliy-sevou years oid when he wrote this letier. lie
had bten a prisoner ot war more than forty years
before, and hud enteied Ct-nurcss nearly thirty
years before. Kapolcon Bonaparte, bora two years
alter him, had run his memorable career and died
three years beiore. If General Jackson's opinions
on ttiH tnnfl question were "crude" whon bo was
titty-seven years old, It is most unlikoiv that they
ever became "miunre." And m tact, thuugli party
exigencies some what mooilioil his attitude in after
years, there is no evidence, ai.d no probability,
that he ever renounced the opinions set forth in tills
letter.
Supposing the editor of the TrUtune to be
rather misinformed than iiiMncere (which is the
more charitable view), he figures beloie the
country as one of the hardiest blunderers that
ever hazarded ransom assertions in print. The
two things on which he values himself are poli
tical ecoLomv and American history: but though
he has a jumble of Ideas ou both, he seldom puts
his pen to paper without proving that he has no
exact knowledge of eithpr. The want ot early
discipline or nu incorrlgiblelooseness of thought
renders him incapable of precision, in the
presidential election of 1828, the great issue was
the tariff; John Quiiicy Ailams, supported by
Henry Clay, being the tariff, and Andre Jack
sop, the anti-protectionists' candidate. In 132,
the tarilf and the bank were the tw o leading
issues; Henry Clay being fie candidate Of the
bauk-tarifi party, aud Jackson of the opposite.
What a consummate political hypocrito General
Jackson must have been, if, as the Tribune
alleges, he never renounced the protectionist
opinions ho held in 1S24 1
It itay seem superfluous to add j ositive proofs
to tho 'irresistible nresummiou lounded on
General Jackson's leadership of tho uuti-toriff
party during Hie whole period of his presi
dency; but a willingness to contound a charla
tan and "bray him In e mortar," leads ns to
present an array of evidence which would be
unnecessary it wc were dealing, not with a
crochet-breeder, but a man of sound .judgment.
Will the 2r,bune concede that Mr. L iucrolt is
tee peer Qf Us editor in a knowledge ot American
history? Here is what Bancroft says (Miscel
lanies'" page 407) of General Jackson's revised
opinions ou the tariff question :

Letting this extract from Bancroft pass for
whatitmavbe worth (in puroplnlon, very little),
we proceed to cita more decisive authorities.

Mr. Webster then proceeds to quote General
Jackson'sown language. "The message." he said.
"in unvcnea allusion to tne protective policy ot
tne country, noiustnis language:"
(FROM JACKSON'S VETO HESSAQI.)
Most of the difficulties our Government now en
eouuteis, and most ot the dinner which now im
pend over our Union, have sprung from an aban
donment of the legitimate objects of Government
by our natlnnul legislation, and tho adoption of
such principle as are embodied by this act. Many
of eur rich men have not boon content with equal

once, in justice to interest vested under improvi

No reader ot this extract will dissent from the
justice of the reranrks wh'ch follow it in Mr.
Webster's speech. He said: "The plain mean
ing of all Ibis is, that our protecting laws are
founded in. an abandonment of the legitimate
obiecta ot government; that this is the gieat
source of our dillieulties: that it Is tima to" ston
in our career, to review tho principles of theso
laws, ano. as soon as we can, make our Govern
ment what it ought to be. fco one can question,
Air. President, that these paragraphs from the

tnat, in nis opinion, rue tariti.as a system de
signed fur protection, is not only impolitic, but
unconstitutional also. They are quite incapable
of any other version or interpretation. Thev
dely all eplanation and all glosses."
Now let the reader estimate the indescribable
Ignorance (or, if he chooses to take the other
hypoihesis, effrontery) of a political controver
sialist, who, wben hard pushed by an opponent.
cvudes the body of that opponent's reasoning
and fastens on its skirts, with such a result as

dance and quality of the ore, aud the ease with which It
l obtained and reduced. This property has been
worked by Sfajor Z A. Grier from 1840 to the breaking
out of the war. This Company have purchased this
property, and intend to erect machinery and put the
mines In Immediate opeiatlon. The many advantages
of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can
hardly be estimated. It. is more reudlly reached, and
has;abundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can bo
worked all the year, and not, as in tho case of Colorado
andNevada.be compelled to lie ide for three or lour
month Inconsequence of the severity of the winter.
This mine having been worked lor a long time proved
to be a rich paj Ing one. We do not, thereiore, have to
Incur tne rlkk there I In an nndeveloaed property, but
can count on large and Immediate returns on the in vest
ment. II avlng an ore that ream y yield ten do'lars per
bushel, some estimate can be made of the value ot this
property. With the present Imperfect system of mining
In this locality, and absence ot proper machinery, ten
tonsot this oie can be taken eut dally from every shaft
opened, intimating, say tl teen busne to the ton, the
dully yield will be iliteen hundred dollar liora one shaft,
allowing three hundred dollars per dky for expenses. The
net pioduct will be 1200 per day; counting 300 working
day to the year, the yearly proceeds wlu be $3611,001),
which yield can be largely Increased by extending tho
work. Thl Is consldwred a very low estimate of the
capacity of this mine by experienced miners ot that
locality. The Assaver of the L lilted Mates Mint at
Charlotte, In speaking of this property, say it lias low
equal In productiveness in that country, and with
proper management and machinery the above product
tun be doubled.
