Canada The Fishery Question.

The writer of the letter from Canada which

ipon the matters referred to, and hU statement
lire therefore entltlod apart from their In
trinsic Interest to very careful attention. Ills
Information ns to the effects of the repeal of
Reciprocity, and the feeling thereby engendered
fimonpr our neighbors, will perhaps surprlHe
those of our wise men who anticipate a cry for
annexation as the immediate result of their
Pnpanese policy. The truth is, that for certain
qualities ot lumber, and also lor barley and long
Vool, we most continue to a very large extent
tlopendent upon Canada; and the extra cost of
these articles in our markets, produced by cus
toms' duties, will lall upon our own people as
BonsumciB, not upon tuo Provincial farmer or
lumberman.
lhe most important of our correspondent's
IMatenientH, however, relates to the tisheries,
und the course which the Canadian authorities
Sire icpreseuted as willing to pursue to avert
difficulty. A 'licensing system is suggested by
"Which, at what we presume will be merely
jioinirial rates, American hhermen may acquire
right to ply their vocation in Provincial
wi t'-rs. Such a system would not differ essen-lli-lly
lrom the plan receiitly proponed by a city
contemporary, namely the imposition 'by the
2oviiice of a light tonnage tax, to be paid by
.American fishermen reporting to the in-sboro
D' l.'iig-frrounda. Both plans are practical, and,
5n he present state of the question, equitable,
1 would equally meet ail pressing require-3.-nis,
by enabling our fishermen to visit the
31 ;.,t valuable fisheries on the northern coast
a liiietly as during the existence of the Keji-ji.'.-city
Treaty. Neither a license nor a tonnaze
tt . could bo complained of as oppressive; and
t;...e would be obtained for a satisfactory settle
311 nt of the whole question. We share our
no. respondent's hope that a sense ot common
Sue .invenience will lead to a ju9t and mutually
jnd-, .inlageous arrangement at ho remote period.
Kentucky Democracy.

We do not deem It wholly a misfortune fhat

ptate. The day that sees ther return to power

the Rebels to take charge of the States. lie

Would pray tor the restoration of military

guine : but we do not doubt that the example of
nc State in the entire control of the Rebels
would terve as a warning for all the rest.
3Icnce, we hope for a pood result, ultimately,
from the prospective triumph of the Kentucky
Xemocracy.
Its convention in Louisville on Tuesday mani
festly expects such a triumph. If its managers

SJnion loot foremost as they tried to do during
the war, when a great proportion of their rank
Und tile were in the Confederate armies. The
Conflict being now transferred to the ballot-box
nd the Rebels all at home aeain, their party
3eaders wisely refuse to run any risk of ahenat
Sng their followers by allowing control or prouil
aience to the men who kept up even a sham
Unionism during the war. The onlv name of

The success ot this party in the Aueust elec
tion Is rjghtly anticipated as a vindicati n of
lhe Rebellion, and as the restoration of the
secession Breckinridge Democracy. All the
prominent candidates for the Clericshlp of the
Court of Appeals the only office for which a
nomination was to be made were Rebel sol
diers or sympathizers, and in order to secure
Jiarmony, says the Journal, "Colonel Howard
Stnita, Major Jack Thompson, and Captain
Coodin,ol the late Con federate army, formally
"withdrew their names as candidates. The pre
sence of these ex-Coufederale soldiers, as they
appeared upon th stand, was erected with the
Dwot-t enthusiastic cheers." Judifo Duvall, who
vas nominated, was, on the same authority,
'throughout the late war.la hearty supporter of
Ibe Rebellion, and, we believe, never hesitated
lo express himself unequivocally to that effect.
He is not only the nominee of a Con
tention of secesKionwts. but, while the nation
was in the late struggle 'or exlsteuc his entire
influence was devoted to the success of its ene
Ontes." Undoublelly, he is a tit man to be the
champion of the Kentucky Democracy.
We have already given an abstract of the re
solutions adopted. They are silent on questions
ot Slate administration, but loud voiced on mat
ters ot national policy, and on what Kentucky
"will do or refuse to do it her will is unhoeded at
Washington. They propose to support the Gov
ernment fo lone as its views and acts square
"with their notions ol Constitutional law; when
liVy differ, Kentucky reserves the right to switch
off ihe track, and perhaps try once more to go
witn the "sister States." Keening out the Rebel
fctates is a "palpable and flagrant violation of
lhe Federal comi act," and
"Against all such ao ion we enter our so'emn pro
test, and deuouiiofl the radical majority in Congress
ts lalse and recreant to the Constitution, as nv-n who
Jiave resolveo either to buuiul'ate and degrade the
jieople ot one seotion ot tne coautry, tnd make vas
tus of its citizens, or to destroy the Union ot tue
Jbtaiis."
Intermeddline by Congress with suffrage is
smother flagrant outraee, and a "usurpation of
power," and a "humiliating and degrading con
liticn" to which no State ought to assent, and
Jf Congress attempts It in Kentucky, it will be
leemed "not only an infraction of the Constitu
tion, but a gross and palpable invasion of the
yeserved rights of the States which is the pre
cise case when tho contingent loyalty of Ken
tucky expects to merge Into open hostility.
Tet we don't believe they will be mad enough to
try it again. It Is necessary to pretend the pur
pose In order to conciliate the ultra-Rebel vote,
und It will not in the least weaken the close
ness and tenderness of their alliance with tho
h'orthein Copperheads. Perhaps it is needless
to add that the Convention indorses President
Johnson without reserve, and pledges him its
tgo'rt enthusiastic support.
THE D AIL r
Secretary Stanton's Conp d'EUt Tb.8
Radicals I'lanked.
From Vie Herald.
Galileo was right. The world does move.
The great gun or the radicals In the Cabinet,
Supposed to be ns firm as a rock, has been turned
against thrm. Secretary StaLtoi, the slayer Of
tho rhillstines, has declared In iaTor of Presi
dent Johnson's restoration policy. The radical
reconstruction scheme of the joint committee of
Congress has proved too radical for Stanton.
Perceiving, with the sagacity of an old cam
paigner, that his schome is sure to prove a bad
investment, he seizes the first occasion of a
Cabinet council to express his unbonnded admi
ration ot the wise and beneficent policy of the
Adminls ration. This movement of the enthu
siastic Stanton at this crisis ts as remarkable as
the abandonment ot the Jacobins by D.iuton in
the midst of the bloody French "Reign ot Ter
ror." Danton, like Stanton, from the profession of
a lawyer, became a republican leader remarka
ble for his energy and terrible activity against
the rebels and copperheads of his day; but
Punton, in pleading lor mercy to the Girondists,
brought upon himself the wrath of Robespierre,
and the axe ot tho guillotine. Stanton, like
Danton, has evidently had blool enough of his
own countrymen, and will also have to answer
to his Robespierre of tho convention; but, un
like Danton, Stanton, in having the balance of
power on his side, will come Off the victor
Thus the great outrage against justice and hit
n an ty perpetrated lu the execution of Danton
will, as an event in history, be rectified in the
tiiumph of Stanton.
The lover ot Plutarch may enlararo noon this
pi.ra lei between Danton and Stanton, for there
aieubundant materials in the public career of
the c two distinguished men to pursue tho com
ri riscn to any extent, but our purpose ii se
ct nd in viuoicating the memory of Danton in
tl.e living and successful example of Stanton.
Lvcrything depend upon the circumstances by
which we are surrounded. Tho same virtuous
i.et which one day and in one place adds another
victim to the guillotine, on another day and in
another place opens the door to a new epoch of
power and glory. Secretary Stanton, with more
patience and calculation than his French proto
type, Danton. uses the political factions of his
day, nnd awaits his opportunity. Thus, with
the decline of Cameron in tho War Office, Stan
ton, by his adroit and successful flatteries of
General McClcllan, secured the then powerful
influence of that officer in his lavor, till tirtnly
fixed in the War Department, and then quick to
ptrcehe the weak points of McClellan, Stanton,
w ithout remorse, cut him down. A politician
of the shrewd and energetic character ot Secre
tary Stanton, brought up in the school of Mar
tin Van Buren and James Buchanan, and in the
midt of a ereat revolutioa, perfected in his
studies under Secretaries Seward and Chase, is
not the man to play the subordinate to Thad
deus Slevens a moment longer than is necessary.
As it has been the rule ot men in power, in
all ages of the world, to seek a still higher ele
vation, we may assume that Mr. Stanton, as
Secretary ol War, has not lorgotten himself in
his services to the country. We may assume
that there wis something of personal ambition
in his shelving of McClellan, and in his attempt
to disgrace Sherman, which, under all the cir
cumstances, but tor the prompt and effectiva
interposition of General Grant, might have been
successiul. We may even venture upon the
theory that the Secretary of War, as a profes
sional politician, has learned how to trim his
sails to the popular wind, and that he trims
them accordingly, and has no more reluctance
in parting compony with Forney and Greeley,
than he had in cutting loose from the old
broken-down hulk ot the Democratic party.
Certainly, as he has little to lose, and a fair
prospect of much to gain, by a cordial support
of President Johnson, there is nothing very sur
prising in this dec'sion of th" Secretary of War,
with the report of thi) Committee of Fifteen be
fore him. He sees that his radical lriends in
Congress are on the road to ruin, and he has no
deposition to be numbered among the victims
of their folly.
The radicals profess to be incredulous; this
thing is impossible, they say, but they are none
the less alarmed. If Stauton desetts us, who
can be trusted ? This is the trouble. Tho dis
cipline of tho party camp is disturbed, contusion
is introduced, and the conservative elements
sympathizing with the Administration are in
vited to take posession of the field. With Stan
ton in cordial co-operation with the President's
policy, the State of Pennsylvania, In October,
will cast out the faction of Stevens and Fornev:
for, according to the resolutions of their late
convention, Stanton, in Pennsylvania, is the
embodiment among the Republicans of all that
is good and great. And as Pennsylvania goes
so will po the other great central States of the
North, from New York to Illinois inclusive.
Secretary Stauton, in falling in with the policy
of the Administration, makes an important
change among the figures on the Presidential
cl.ees-bourd; tor thus, Secretary SewarJ, as the
head of the New York conservatives, may be
overshadowed by tho more vigorous Stanton,
and the tirt pun of the lall elections from the
Keystone State. It is probable, too, that the
Secretary of War and General Grant, as in all
tleir relations heretofore, will soon be found in
perfect accord on this paramount question of
Southern restoration. The piinciplos of Mr.
Stanton may be patriotic, or they may be the
seven Democratic principles of John Randolph
the five loaves and two fishes; or the prin
ciples of the Albany regency, Machiavelli and
Mephistopheles combined; but whatever they
may be, when Scanton abandons his party wor
shippers of the radical camp we are safe in the
conclusion that they are weighed in tho balance
and found wantine; that they are near the end
of their reign ; and that their kingdom is already
divided among the Medes and Persians.
The Tennessee Land Spoliation Scheme.
From the Daily A'ewt.
A pretty kettle of fish, Indeed, was that which
met at Knoxvillo on Thursday, for the purpose
of considering the advisability of setting up a
separate State Government for East Tennessee.
These political brigands, doubtless under old
Brownlow's instigation, feeling themselves at a
disadvantage in the State, propose seriously to
becede therefrom, and to et up a new concern
which t-hall have Knoxville for its capital and
Brownlow for its head. The arrant impudence
of this programme is scarcely relieved by its
more flagrant features. The Individual who pre
sided at the "Convention," one Judge S tmuel
Rodpers, with a view, probably, of ingratiating
himself with the opponents of State sovereignty,
said that it was not a secession movement, and
then adds, rather logically, if they should
secede "it will be from the Rebel to joiu the
Union people."
The little scheme seems to have been for a
long time in contemplation. The plan was con
cocted during what the learned Judge calls "the
dark hour of the Rebellion." and has been held
in abeyance since that time, aud is now brought
out, a little hesitatingly it is true, into the light,
and invested with the sacred oiior of Uuionism,
in order to make it palatable to the dominant
powers.
So far as we can fudge from tho telegraphic
summary of the "proceedings," there was but
one individual present In the "Convention" who
seemed to have a gleam of common sense, not
to mention common decency, about him. This
lucky individual, by name ot James, while as
senting to the main plan, had serious scruples
about the true position of the State at large,
What he wanted to know, you know, was
whether Tennessee were a State or not. Upon
this head we learn, from the telegraphic report,
as follows:
"Resolutions approving the addren of the Com
mittee, and advising a postponement of the quo-tlon
until Congress decides whether lenuessee is a Htate
or not, were oQored by James, a delegate from
Hamilton "
The cool effrontery of James in putting this
dumper upon the harmonious proceedings of the
"Convention" was promptly rebuked bv having
his "resolution almost unanimously voted
flown," as we gather irora the telegraphic ac
count. The gleam ot reason displayed by James
.was, nuturally enough, most objectionable to
EVENING TELEGRAPH.
this band of lerritoihl spoliators and kidnappers,
who did not care a fig (however "loyal" they
might be) fo' the Head Centre Stevens and his
followers; nd hence his untimely and intrusive
"ifsolution" met its summary ltte. Stevens .V
Co. might do very well to decide uoon the ad
mission of the Southern Representatives upon
the floor of Coneress; but Htevpns A Co. were
not the proper, fudge to arbitrate In th little se
parate Slate Government plan. That was re
s rved for the dignified and lofty-minded Brown
low and his partisans.
The incorrigible Bnd bloodthlrstv knave who
now difgraces the Gubernatorial chair of Ten
nessee sees, in the near lut'irc, the explratiou
of his term of oflice, and it is he, doubtless, who
is at the bottom of all this impudent and trea
sonable talk of splitting Tcnnes:-ee into halves.
Jn order to Insure hiin-eli another term as
"Governor," this detier of all law this King
Stork who dally feasts hi? eyes ou the spectacle
of murdered und persecuted 8ojtheru men
wishes to slice off lrom the State that vulgar
fraction thereof that is in sympathy with blm,
so that he Kay continue his reign for a little
w bile longer, even if over that traction. Brown
low knows very well that at the next election
the people ot Tennessee will kick him trnm their
path as they would any vile and obscene thing,
and for that reasou he has set his underlings to
work to agitate the question of the partition of
Tennessee. The "Convention," at the close of
its session, instructed its "President" to appoint
a committee of three to bring tho question be
fore the Legislature. It now remains to be seen
whether that body will bring this lit'le band of
revolutionists to their senses, or will advance
the theft and outrage that they contemplate.
The division of one American Sovereign State,
a in the case of Virginia, without the consent
of its citizens, Is sufficient for tht century. It
will, perhaps, not be safe to repeat it.
letters to II. G.
From the World.
There seems to be a perfect mania oil the part
of some Southerners to write letters to Horace
Greeley, as if that modest philosopher had not
explained himself very often, or as if he were
accessible to an argument or capable of a con
clusion. If they could only understand his for.
mula tbey might save themselves and him a
good deal of trouble. All the lucubrations of
the 2rbu may be easily summed up in a few
words: Major, Horace Greeley; tniuor, Horace
Greeley; conclusion, Horace Greeley, to which
he properly adds, with a consciousness of tri
umph, y. E. D. We dety any human being, after
silting down anything which the white-coated
philosopher has written, to come to any other
residuum. Let us take his last to Governor
Peny. aud you see at once that his mind is as
slack-twisted as his frame, and that his logic is
as shambling as Lis guit.
Beiore the war, at least, there were four
ru ill ion? of human beings in the Southern
States who w ere no more citizens nor parts of
the people than the Gladiuiors were citizens of
Runc, or the Helots citizens of Sparta. Since
the war, they do not occupv any other position
low ards the States or the Union than they did
beiore. They are no part of the people, and
they cannot be made such without an amend
ment of the Constitution. Such is the law as
settled by the history of the United States and
the decisions of the Supreme Court.
Now, when this proposition is presented to n.
G. as a basis of nrgiimciit, how does he meet it?
With Horace Creelev.
Again: South Carolina asserted the r'uht of
secession. H. G. was rather clear that she had
the rignt. She exercised it. Now, one thing is
periectly certain, that, if she had the right and
ollered to pay her share ot debt and purchase
all the property of the Union within her boun
daries, she did everything that was right, lair,'
and honorable, and that denying the right and
maintaining an armed force wituiu her limits in
forte commanding her waters, was unjust and a
snilicient cauc-e of war.
If she had not the right of secession, then she
was the aggressor.
Now, how docs H. G. address himself to this
proposition?
In the first place, he denies that the peoole
seceded, because the blacks had nothing to say
about it. They had nothing to say about
the secession from Great Britain in I77ii,
nnd the slaves always helped the British
just as they helped the Union army. To such a
statement we get diluted in many words only
Horace Greeley.
But aguin : H. G. insists that the people of the
States were not in lavor of secession, and would
like to have had a popular vote ou the ordi
nances. What ate we to conclude from such an
assertion? Why, naturally, if there had been a
popular majority, that secession was right. Is
that what the tribune means? Of course not.
It has denounced Copperheads and Rebels too
virulently lor that. Why, then, bring that for
ward? Because it was the duty of the inhabi
tants of the Southern States not onlv to satisfy
themselves but to satisfy H. G. ol the wide diffu
sion and strength of their convictions. This
stupid non-seamtur has been repeated so often in
the Iribune that it would 6eem as If a tense of
the dreariness of Its nonsense mut have pene
trated any brain; but when a man, instead of
looking out at the world, looks in at H. G., he
thews the cud and brings and returus the same
masticated morsel from the stomach to the
inouih.
The "tag" of the letter is peculiarly Greeley
ish and not at all Horatian.
"When beiore did the victors In so miehtv a
struggle say to the vanquished, Let us hence
torth be equals?"
We never heard that Governor Perry or any
other man sought to be more than the equal
ot Mr. Greeley, but Mr. Greeley has tor many
years struggled to make an inequality between
himself and Governor Perry, and has succeeded.
It has cost a good deal ot blood and money to
produce the inequality, but. the thing is done.
We have bought lor Mr. Greeley the right to
extort from Governor Perry, not an admis ion
ol Mr. Greeley's eqHality. which was not denied,
bi.tof his own inequality. What Mr. Greeley
thinks equality, is that Governor Perry shail
not only agree that Mr. Greeley is his equal,
but that somebody else whom Mr. Greeley
choot-es to have his equal shall be so . too.
Any person of decent intelligence perceives that
such a proposition involves the inferiority of
Governor Perry and the cuperiority of H. G.;
that it carries with it mastership on one side,
and subjugation on th other; but the Tribune
has ar effective auBwer Horace Greeley.
Mohammet1, sword in hano, said to the tribes
or Arabia: "Mohammedism or extermination."
The tribes fought and were beaten. Toose
not killed became Mussulmans. "The victor in
the mighty conflict said to the vanquished, 'Let
us henceforth be equals.' " H. G. would proba
bly, if made to undergo circumcision, to spit on
the cross, and to take cure of four wives, have
some little doubts as to the lustice and magna
nimity which said to the vanquished, "Let us
henceforth be equuls;" but nothing short of such
a surgical operation and such an increase of
domestic duties could ever put into his head the
ordinary notions ot Englinhnien and Americans
about liberty and eq iiantv.
