on the 22d of pril, at 10 a. m , to
prepare the roll of delegates.
The Blizzard is of the opinion that
in case of war Canada will not be as
good an asylum as it was for many
during the Rebellion.
Governments who have declared their
independence and maintained it, and
whose independence we have, on
great consideration and on just prin
ciples, acknowledged, we could not
view any interposition for the pur
pose of oppressing them, or coutroll
ing in any other manner their des
tiny, by any European power, in any
other light than as the manifestation
of an unfriendly spirit toward the
United States."
On Suuday, while the good people
in the churches were sending up their
prayers for "Thy servant, the Presi

said servant was on his way home

Speaker Reed has already ap
pointed the Congressional committees,
thing heretofore almost unheard of
before the holiday season. This in
dicates that the present Congress be
lieves it was elected to do something,
nd don't propose to he long about it
either.
Republicans who have taken bold
of affairs in Kentucky are compelled
to begin operations with an urapty
treasury, but this is an easy job com
pared with the one to be tackled in
Washington in 1817. The party that
set things to rights after Buchanan
can repeat their work after Cleve
land. Senator Quay has introduced a
bill to establish postal savings banks.
It provides for deposits of sums from
ten cents to ten dollars at all money
order offices, and for interest on de
posits which do not exceed $500. It
is argued that such depositories would
stimulate the spirit of saving and
economy among the people.
Over forty armored ships belong
ing to England, Germany, Italy,
Austria, Russia aud France are
gathered near Constantinople, and
yet the only prospect of relief for the
Armenians is iu the hurrying of the
unarmed Red Cross Society to the
scene. The spectacle is not one ex
citing a wild desire tor any extension
of European lule on -American ter
ritory. Congressman Ktone, of Warren,
has introduced in the House a bill
amending the statutes so as to pro
vide that if any pensioner, being in
solvent, shall desert bis wife or minor
children, and a court shall adjudge
him guilty of desertion, oDe-balf of
the pension due him and comiDg due
him shall be paid to the deserted
wife or the guardian of the minor
children.
It must be gratifying to every
true Americau to see the patriotic
spirit that Las been maifuated by
Congress in backing up the action of
the President. It suits the English
to attribute the firm stand taken by
the President to partisan motives,
and they have solaced themselves
with the delusion that what one party
proposed the opposition would antag
onize. They are now iu a fair way
to discover that devotion to the wel
fare of the Republic is not the moti
opoly of any party, aud that when
the cord of national spirit is struck
this nation is one heart aud one soul

WILL WE WAR WITH EN (J LAN I) I
England's refusal to arbitrate the
boundary dispute, which has been
submitted by the President to Con
gress for decisive actinu, brings the
Venezuelan controversary to a criti
cal stage. To further summarize
Secretary Oloey's summary of the
situation, the points involved are
these: The title to a Urge extent ol
territory is in dispute between Eng
land and Venezuela, which Venezuela
for a quarter of a century has been
endeavoring to submit to arbitration,
but England has refused, and now
refuses when urged by the United
States, to agree to any such settle
ment except upon a reuunciation of
a large part or enezuela s claims.
This is a controvesy, the Secretary
says, in which "the honor and inter
ests" of tho Uoited States are in
volved, "and the continuance ol
which it caunot regard with indiffer
ence." Here is the situation which pre
sents itself to this country, and the
President grasps it with commenda
ble vigor and courage. For the
country's own information and justi
ficaliou be says the true divisional
line between Venezuela and British
Guiana ought to be ascertained by
the United States Government, and
he asks, and has already promptly
received an appropriation by Con
gress to pay the expenses of a com
mission to make this inquiry. When
the commission reports, and its re
port is accepted by Congress, he
thinks it will "bo the duty of the
United States to resist, by everv
means in its power, as a willful ag
gression upon its rights aud interests.
the appropriation by Great Britain ol
any lauds or the exercise of govern
mental jurisdiction over any territory
which, after investigation, we have
determined of right belongs to Veil
ezuela." Tbis has the true American
ring. It is an echo of his predeces
sors, John Adams and Andrew Jack
son, in crises when the bouor and in
terests of the country weie endan
geret ly toreigu aggression. It is
a hat the American people expected
of their President unter the circum
stances ; no more no less.
If the Monroe doctrine is to re
main a vital priucipal of American
diplomacy tbis is the time to assert
it. The Eesequibo river is generally
recognized to be the westerly boun
dary of that part of Guiana which
England acquired from Holland in
1814. It was the line which Holland
and Spain for a century and a half
had been calling the westerly side or
the former's possessions. Along to
1840 there appears to have been uo
dispute on this poiut, but in that
year, probably because o' informa
tion that the country beyond was
rich in silver, England -began to
claim everything west of the Orinoco.
Then Sir Robert Schorahurg drew an
arbitrary liue which included all the
new claims of England. But eveu
this line did not exteud far euough
west to suit British greed, and new
boundaries, changed from time to
time, but always extending westward
and stealing more and more of Ven
ezuela's territory, have been erected.
England refuses to arbitrate the
question of title to territory east of-
the Schoinburg line, a bouudary put
up without Venezuela's consent, and
which she never recognized. This is
the sort of an assault by a European
Power on an iodepeudant nation on
this continent which President Mon
roe declared would be "dangerous to
our peace and safety." As this as
sault is persisted in despite the pro
test of the President, Cuiigress has a
right to look upon it as a manifesta
tion of an unfriendly disposition
toward the United States," aud
should act in accordance with tbis
fact.
and valuable tract 'f country
claimed m histoiiral grounds by
both countries. Various attempts to
settle the disputo in the patt have
been made, and they have all failed
for one reason or another. Mean
while, according to our best informa
tion, Grent Britain's claims have in
creased. She now asserts sovereign
ty over territory to which a few years
ago she had laid no claim. Into the
disputed territory she has gradually
pushed her settlements and her sys
tem nf government. Now, all we
say is this: If Great Britain is ap
propriating Venezuelan territory,
then she is stengtheuing her power on
ihe South American continent in a
manner dangerous to our interests.
What she ought to do is to submit
the whole queatiou in dispute to an
impartial board of arbitration. If
die will not do this, then she seems to
admit that she has a weak case. If
her claims are good, she has nothing
to fear from their examination. In
other words, all we waut is that
Great Britain shall have her rights
and only her rights, in South Amer
ica. And we shall insist that she
shall not encroach upon the territory
-if Venezuela or of any other Amer
ican State.

The "Mouroe Doctrine," as enun
ciated by President James Monroe,
December 2, 1823, and of which we
are hearing so much of late, and lia
ble to hear in tbn future, is contained
in the following: "We owe it, there
fore, to candor and to the amicable
relations existing between the Uuited
Stales aud those powers, to declare
that we should consider any attempt
on their part to extend their system
to any portiou of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace aud salety.
With the existing colouies or depen,
deucies of auy European power we
have not interfered. But with the
It developes that Hayward's hang
ing was far too long delayed. This
arch devil has left a confession in
which he admits the cold blooded
murder of five innocent people, Cath
erine Ging, for whose murder be was
hanged, beiug bis last victim. As
the Fraukliu Xeus remarks, ''it
makes one's blood boil to think that
lawyers fought in court for weeks aud
months to clear this low beast and
turn him loose agaiu."
