TUB NEW
DOMINION AND RE
C IP HOC ITT.
Tun t':in:dlnns havo been forel.T afflicted ly
thr al .rotation of the Reciprocity treaty. Tin;
United hUtcs furnlxh infinitely the best market
for their products, and the restriction of tliU
market lms exerted so depri ving an influence
upon their Industry, that muny of their citi
zens are disposed to cut the (iordion knot of
thoir dillleulticB cither by the. short and easy
method of emigrating to this country, or by ad
vocating annexation. It is bad enough to strug
gle agahiHt a bleak climate, they argue, but if
we are also to be restricted in the sale of the
products raised with bo much toil, it is folly to
contend against such double disadvantages
when cheap land can be purchased in the Union .
As a practical result, tho price of real estate In
many districts seriously declines, on account of
the general desire to seek free homes and free
trade with the American people, under the broad
gU of the Great Republic.
It is true that the New Dominion imports into
this country during the last lineal year amounted
to more than twenty-eight millions of dollars,
hut as nearly all these articles were brought into
competition with American products of a simi
lar description, after paying a duty varying from
ten to twenty per cent., it is evident that the
profits of the farmers, lumbermen, and fisher
men of the New Dominion were much dimin
ished, and the abrogation of the Reciprocity
treaty has exerted on some articles an almost
prohibitory Influence. Thus in the last complete
year of the Reciprocity treaty live stock valued
at 15,503,318, and wheat flour valued at $2,970,
348, were imported Into the United States free of
duly, while last year the twenty percent. Imposts
reduced these importations to live stock Tallied
;it $3,375,501, and wheat flour valued at $572,018.
If the American market was freely opened to
our northern neighbors it would be more desi
rable to them now than ever before, because they
could derive the full benefit of the high prices
which prevail here, and undersell American pro
ducers, without being subjected to the taxation
which has been imposed to defray the expenses
Incurred in the suppression of the Rebellion.
As their band are by no means clear of the guilt
of fostering treason, encouraging raids, and in
creasing the perils which environed this coun
try, they have the mortifying consciousness of
knowiug that they are reaping some of the
fruits of their own folly, and that, as in the
story rehearsed by the English poet the mail
got well, it was the dog that died.
The Finance Minister of the New Dominion,
annoyed by the evident signs of prostration, and
anxious to divert the attention of the Canadians
from the most natural remedy for their distresses,
made a speech in the House of Commons at
Ottawa on Friday last, in which he said:
"Much as we desire, on national and commercial
grounds, a less restricted intercourse with the
United States, we are not prepared to give up
oar national existence for it." This and other
similar passages strongly indicate that the an
nexation feeling is rapidly increasing on our
northern border, and that a few years more of
the present policy, rigidly enforced, will cither
decimate the population of the boasted New
Dominion, or make the desire to convert its ter
ritory into States of the American Union nearly
universal. The Minister would scarcely have
attacked annexation if it was a mere bugbear,
and his assault upon it is the strongest proof
that could be given of the tendency of public
sentiment.
The Reciprocity treaty benefited but a very
small portion of the American people, and only
a few sections are interested in its revival, while
many interests, and especially those of Pennsyl
Tanla, would be positively Injured by its restora
tion. Any country, whether contiguous or re
mote, which wishes to enjoy free trade with us,
should obtain it only on condition of sharing
our domestic burdens and becoming bone of our
bone and flesh of our flesh. When the New Dc
minion Is ready to look to Washington Instead
of London as the central point of authority, it
should enjoy free trade with the United States,
but not before; and the Senators and Represen
tatives of Pennsylvania should sternly resist the
machinations of the advocates of reciprocity
on local as well as broad natloual grouuds.
RECONSTRUCTION IN THE OLD DO
MINION. General Cakby, the Commander of the Mili
tary District of Virginia, It is stated, has de
cided upon Tuesday, July 0, a6 the time lor
holding the election In that State, In pursuance
of instructions from President Grant. The
result of this election can. result only lu the full
restoration of Virginia to all her relations to the
Union, so loug in abeyance. Various causes
have conspired to delay the consummation of
this much-to-be-deslred result, ami they can be
set forth most readily in a brief bketch of the
progress of the reconstruction movements lu the
State.
Towards the close of ISO" a convention for
framing a constitution for the Suite, in accord
ance with the provisions of the Reconstruction
acts, assembled at Richmond, and devoted
several months to this task, under tbe presidency
of Judge Underwood, of the United States Dis
trict Court. The instrument prepared by this
convention, generally known as '"the Under
wood Constitution," provided for the full esta
blishment of negro suffrage; Included the dis
ability provisions of the fourteenth amendment
to the Federal Constitution; required State
officers to subscribe to the iron-clad test oath;
embodied a homestead clause, retrospective in
Its operation; and provided for the establishment
of a system of free schools similar to that pre
Talling throughout the North. While the
advocates of an unqualified compliance
with the terms of restoration laid down
by Congress were thus earnestly at work upo.i
an effort to reconstruct the State, the old seces
sion clement was equally active. On December
7, 1867, at a mass meeting held in the Richmond
Theatre, the reactionary white man's party was
organised, the principal plank In their platform
being a determined and obstinate opposition to
the Constitution, whatever might be its shape, or
however lenient its provisions. The First Fami
lies of tbe Old Dominion did uot wish to be re
constructed, even in the slightest degree, under
the auspices of tho Richmond Convention, made
W as ft wit, of a mixture o the two rim.
flubmiwdon to the dictation of their former
slaves was a depth of degradation Into which
they were decidedly opposed to sinking.
As soon as tho Underwood Constitution wa
completed and placed bfiforo the people, the
white men's party began to move in earnest. On
May 8, 1808, they held another convention at
Richmond, placing gubernatorial and Congres
Hional tickets In tho field, and mapping out the
details of a most thorough canvass of the State.
Their leading men were immediately scAttered
through the State, and by their harangues so
inflamed tho minds of tho whlto clement of the
population, and brought so much obloquy upon
the Underwood Constitution, that its friends and
the advocates of reconstruction in general saw
certain defeat slaring them In the face. Under
these circumstances, General HchoQcld, tho late
Secretary of War, who then commanded tho De
partment of Virginia, declined to assume tho
responsibility of ordering an election, and
turned the whole question over to Congress, tho
leading members of which body, fully acquainted
with the situation, likewise declined to take any
action for the time.
Up to this point the main objection urged by
the white men's party against the Underwood
Constitution was the negro suffrage provision.
On this they joined issue with the construc
tionists, and the result of the Issue would evi
dently have been fatal to the latter; but the tri
umphant election of General Grant to the Presi
dency, and the certainty, thence resulting, that
on no other terms could the State be restored to
representation in Congress aud relieved from
military rule, opened the eyes of some of the
most prominent leaders of the white man's party.
A split In their ranks resulted, the seceding por
tion declaring themselves for negro suffrage on
condition that the Rebel element should have a
chance to hold oflice, and that other obnoxious
features of the Underwood Constitution
should be expurgated from that instru
ment. During the latter part of April a
convention was held at Richmond under their
auspices, at which the anti-reconstruction can
didates placed in the field nearly a year before
were withdrawn, and their support tendered to
the Walker ticket. This ticket had been placed
in nomination by certain so-called Republicans
who were dissatisfied with the action of the
Petersburg Convention, held in March, in select
ing II. II. Wells as the candidate for Governor.
G. C. Walker, the opposition Republican candi
date for Governor, is a resident of Norfolk, but
not many years have elapsed since he left New
York, carpet-bng in hand, in search of just such
a streak of fortuuo as this. His associates upon
the ticket for Lieutenant-Governor and Attor-ney-Gcner;il
are both natives of the State, of no
particular standing or ability.
In this shape, then, stands the contest at pre
sent. The former opponents of reconstruction
who have now given in their adherence sup
port the Walker ticket, and the Walker Repub
licans, in return for this accession to their ranks,
will oppose the test-oath and disfranchisement
clauses of the Constitution and the election of
negroes to olliee. The issue being thus shifted
from negro suffrage, it became necessary for
Governor Wells to effect a change of base, and
this he accomplished successfully in a letter
written May 1, aud since given to the public. In
tills letter he recounts the circumstances which
have led to the orders for the approaching con
test at the polls. On the 3d of April, ho visited
Washington to secure the passage of a bill by
Congress providing for an early election. Fail
ing in his effort to secure the co-operation
of the Republican leaders in Congress, he ap
pealed to the President himself, and the result
was a message advising Congress to do just
what it did ultimately do before adjourning
pass a law authorizing the President to order an
election at as early a day as he might deem ex
pedient, with the provision that he should sepa
rate certain clauses of the proposed Constitu
tion iroin the body of that instrument, in order
that the people of the State might have an
opportunity to vote upon them separately.
After recounting his part in this movement,
Governor Wells states his belief that the people
will reject whatever portious of the proposed
Constitution the President selects, to be sub
mitted to a separate vote, and further declares
that,
"If a majority of the qualified voters should decide
that the test-oath otiirht to ho stricken out, then no
man could withhold his approval, but all must (rive
their cordial assout to this authoritative decision."
Practically, therefore, the two tickets which
will go before the people of Virginia on the 6th of
July will stand upon the same platform, aud as
the Walker ticket has no merits over and above
those presented by the Wells ticket, whilo it labor!-
under the disadvantage of being supported
largely by the Rebel element, there can bo but lit
tle doubt of the election of Governor Wells, and
the ratification of the Underwood Constitution,
without the test-oath, disfranchising and other
prescriptive clauses. This result will certainly be
hailed with delight by every lover of peace and
Union, and Virginia, the historical Old Domi
nion, tbe mother of Presidents, and the seat aud
source of empire in the past, will once more re
sume her honored position in the sisterhood of
States, never again, we trust, to be disturbed in
the harmony of her relations to the whole coun
try. Tin: commerce of the i'mted status.

PAIN PAINT.
II
O w
IT'S
DONE
A strong and massive wooden tank
With Oroton water till
Up to the notch on upper plank.
Now watch the master' will.
Into this water Wolcott pours
Something that changes all
Into Pain Paint, and tins restores
The weak or sick who call.
Pain Paint is made of water oold,
'Tib simple water, too;
Except THU compound what I told
' Are facta can prove them true.
And if you drink piat of it,
'Tin harmless as the dew ;
Jump in tbe tank, lie down or sit.
Can never injure you.
Water alone is just as good,
If human pores would Oil,
But oily flesh always withstood
Till Wolcott changed the rill.
What Wolcott adds we do not know,
'Tis done as quick as thought ;
He every month to all will Uiow
How quick Pain Paint is wrought.
He changes water into Paint
This water penetrate
Into tbe llesh wheu sick or fnint ;
There is no Pain that wails.
The flesh will drink all full so quick,
EvaKration starts;
No heat or fever long can stick
From body quickly parts.
The smallest infant you can bathe
With Wolcott'h Paint all o'er;
Inject it. or your limbs can lave,
Or wash your eyes when sore.
All inflammation it extracts,
And this is all its olaim ;
'Tis done so quick you think it acts
Like magic, for its fame.
Now, if plain water only could
Reach the absorbent a base.
It would be every whit as good
As Pain Paint for the case.
'Tis water that evaporates,
And pumps the lever out.
And pain must leave; it never wuits;
One trial stops all doubt.
Pleiise use a little common sense
When Paint you buy or use,
For when your Pain is great, immense,
Small bottles don't abuse.
A great big surface sore and luine
A pint or quart require;
Now don't on Wolcott luy the blame,
Hall ounce won't quench much lire.
A thimbleful can't quench big flames,
'T will tilty earaches cure;
Use mother wit, ye men or dames ;
The way is plain aud sure.
A pint will only cost a V,
And holds eight times or more
Of dollar bottles; thus, you see,
Three dollars saved in store.
And you must add a much again
Of water yet to Paint.
'Tis double strength ; hKDUt'E i plain
For inhdel or saint.
Keep these directions in your mind,
Then use and understand
F'or every psin you surely tind,
This gives it it demand.
I have related what are facts.
Philosophy and cause
Of Pain Paint, and just how it acts;
'Tis based on natural law.
If you a doubt have ever spun,
('oine test it free, that's fair,
At Woi.i'ott'h. hundred and eighty-one,
Free office, Chatham square.
The sale of your preparations continues to Increase. We
are constantly receiving large orders from all parts of the
country; intact, from almost every State in the Union.
There is a large order laying before me from Tennessee.
The people everywhere acknowledge the ANNlHU.AToa
for catarrh, and your Pain Paint for the relief of all pain,
takes the plat e of both medicine and physician, and tbat
your theory of cure is correct. 1 am satisfied your sales
excel any other remedies, and that you will be compelled
to greatly enlarge yisur facilities for manufacturing. 1 hop
you will not deity hi order, as I am nearly out.

LETTER OF MESSRS. DAVID DOWS 4 CO.
Nbvt York, April lo, 1869.
Hkrbino, Fakrbl 4 Shbrmam,
No. 2M Broadway.
Gents: On the nlht of the 22d ultimo, our store,
No. SO South street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon one of your safes In our
counting-room.
Tbe key to the safe n which we kept our securities
was locked inside of our fire-proof book safe, the
doors of which were literally cut to pieces ; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
It. Fortunately we had one of your Burglur-Proof
Banker's Chests Inside, in which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with a will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools In vain
attempts to force It. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and It Is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening it we
fonnd our securities all safe, and can therefore cheer
fully Indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by ns
to our counting-house, and take the old one, to show
that some safes are still manufactured wottliy of the
name. David Dows X Co.
