We see them toâ€" day in the altered tone of American thought and opinion as expressed in the public press. * friendship between Canada and the Mother Country every truo ~Canadian desires to see. The friends of Independence and Annexation may not agree with us, and many regard this as a matter of little moment, but such we aresure will not be the feeling among a majority of our readâ€" ers, The people, as well as the Governâ€" ment of Great Britain, desire to see the Treaty of Washington carried out in its entirety, and we may add that they desire it on our account and with a view to our welfare as well as their own. When then the Mother Country says to us, " try the provisions of this treaty for ten years, and Thess REPORTS are published in a manner e+ MRUAMEMTARY RROIT THE GOVERNMENT AND THE 4 TREATY. then if it does not answer, other arrange ments can be made," when Great Britain says this to us would it not be not only nodutiful but unwise and impolitic for us NEW £NVERTISEMENTS, to refuse ? Opposition journalists and politicians to suit their own purposes may talk very grandiloquently about what the‘ national honour demands, &c., and may spéak of England as though she were a cruel hardâ€"hearted stepmother, instead of a kind and generous parent who has protected us in our infancy, and is still resdy with all the strength of her mighty arm to stand by us in our hour of need. When we remember how much we have owed to Great Britain in the past, that it is from her we inherit the unequaled freedora we possess, and have been saved by her alike from foreign aggression and republican misrule, shall we refuse to make the concession which she asks us o make even though whal we receive in return for doing so -.y-“‘ to us seem altogether a sufticient equivaâ€" lent ?

But this is not all. 1L0ok to the enor* mous amount for customs and other duties that would be produced wherewith to Government seventy five millions of dolâ€" lars, against an estimated money subsidy dreamt that anything else would take place. But, after the above words of Mr. Mackentzie, it would have been far more seemly had he allowed some other mem ber on his side of the House to object to the measures proposed by the Governâ€" ment. When it is known that at present the lands on the line of this railroad, no matter how fertile they may be, could not now be sold at one cent per spre, and that when once the railroad is an accomplished fact, or even before the railroad is acâ€" tually completed, those very lands will sell readily at from one to two dollars per acre, surely the Government must gain somewhat by their measure. Suppose the. Railroad lands within the limitsâ€" sell on an average at $1.50 per acre, then the fifty millions of acres would yield to the and lumbering population, which will have to Be fed from the grain produced and cattle raised on the western portion of the plain of the Saskatchewan. Surely all these are great objects to be obtained, and the matter should not be looked at from any petty or personal point ot view, but wholly and solely in a national one.
