North Huron Reform Conven-
tion at BlYth.
We learn that a Convention of
the Reformers of the North Ridieg.
• of Huron has le•en appointed el
Blythe on Wednesday, the 2nd of
August. The Convention is to be
of delegates previously ap-
pointed at meetings to be held in
the Townships. 'We trust there
will be a large representation. -
lir. McDougall on the Washing-
ton Treaty.
In a letter addressed his con'.
atituents, the Hon. YiTilliam Me -
i •
Dougall promulgates a new theory
regarding the Treaty of Washington.
Mr. McDeugall seems to think that
the previsions of the Treaty concern-
ing Canada can now be enforced, as
they have already become law, and
that any action of the Caandian Par-
liament to the coetrary will be inop-
eretive and without effect. We must
confess that there is a considerable
degree of force in the arguments
used by him, and although We cen-
not.agree with the conclusions
which he arrives at, and the course
which he thinks should be pursued,
yet we should not be at all surprised
if it should turn ont that his view is
the correct one. With reepect to fish-
ing on our coast, Mr; McDougall says
the queation stands thus: "The
Imperial Government has made a
Treaty which gives the inhabitents
cf the -United :States the liberty,'
in common with the, subjects of Her
Britannic Majesty, to take fish up-
on our sea coasts Jae soon as the
ltwa required' for the purpose
are passed. According to Mr.
Gladstone, no laws are 'requir-
td ' to be passed in England, though
the Qomraissioners assumed the con
t rary ; tied no laws are required in
Can a d a to exeeu te the Treety, un-
- ]es it be. admitted that the Treaty -
making powet of the Sovmeign is
,enblece to limitation in a depend-
• ency while it is unfettered and sup-
reme everywhere else. I find no
warrant for such a doctrine in any
authority on constitutional law, or
in the practice of any independent
State. The Act of Confederation
_Certainly gives no countenance to
; for, while the 112nd section de-
c- a res that 'the' Parliament and
„Government shall have all powers
necessary and proper tor performing
the obligations of Canada, or of any
Province thereof, as part Of the
British Empire, towards foreign
countries, arising under treaties be
tween the Empire and ; such foreign
ceuntries; it nowhere says that
Canada may refuse to perform these
'obligations; or that treaties will
not be obligatory upon her as part
-of the Earpire; proprio vigore, and
.
ithou t legislative sanction.. In-
deed, the section I have quoted
clearly implies that we _have Do op-
tion, no power, to do anything but
41,erforni, the obligations.' of the
compact. I am told there are lawe
which. require' to be repealed, such
AS the Act respecting Fishing by
Foreign Vessels.' But theee laws
are merely an authority to the exe
ocutive to act ; they do not enjoin
action, and they become inoperative
the momeat the 'Governor in Conn-
ell' ceases to enforce them. • Mr.
Thornton, tire Iricisih Miuiater at
Washineton, has already taken that
matter in hand, with or without
the assent of the Ottawa G-overne
meat, and has told American fisher -
nen that 'prohibition will net be
euforced during the present season."
With regard to the propriety of
the Parliament of Canada resisting
the provisions of the Treaty which
eoncern us, and refusing to sanc-
tion them, Mr. McDougall says*:
"It would be an act of rebellion
agai▪ nst he mother counay to at-
tempt, by force, to reverse he.r pol-
icy. It would _expose her to the
charge thar she had not acted in good
faith with her powerful neighbor,
with whom she has jut cohcluded
treaty of amity and commerce. It
would prove that in providing for
the final adjustment of disputes,
which, at one time, threatened war,
Ehe left it in the power of one of her
colonies to annul that agreement in
the: essential condition. Force,
therefore, I assu me, will not be used."_
Ife therefore concludes that it
-would be unwise in Parliament to
enter their protest against the pro-
visions of the Treaty to which ob-
jection is taken/ and advises that we
itubmit to our fate, lest England, in
her rage at our obstinacy, should
cast us off fn this, we cannot'
agtee. if, a.$. Mr. McDougall. says,
th ,provisions of the treaty are al -
re y law, the injustice done us by
E land is ten -fold greater than it
ap eared to be at first. As the
qu stiou first presented itself, we
we e to be allowed the privPege of
at east protesting against these un -
jus and tobnoxious provisions, be -
for they would be forced upon us;
acccrding to 1Mr : McDqugall's
•th ry, we have but, one alter-
na ive,—submission and h u nhilia-
tioi on the one 1 and, or Indepen-
de r ce on the ottherf. Be the result
evil tt it may, we trust the Canadian

Fe,ttle in the Narrow-Guage.
The first narrow-guage locomo-
tive in the States—for in this mat-
ter they have lagged behind Sweden
and Canada—was shipped from
Philadelphia on the 13th, and is
destined for the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway. This enterprise,
which was organized last fall s is ta
be 900 miles in length—all on tire
narreW-gtrage of 3ft. 6in. This is
the longest of the narrow-guages,
which have appeared to be morel
suitable to subsidiary lines, on which I
economical -working is of conse- 1
(pence, than to 4utin avenues of tra- t
vel. Some people yet affect to be-
lieve that the narrow guage is a
mistake; but if it is, it is an error s
that is pretty geneaally diffnse.d.
Railways, in that system have been
running for years in Norway, Wales

A melancholy affair °centred
about four miles from Perth en

McGarry and John Dowdell, had.
been in town on that day, and dur-

About ten o'clock at night they

had been sleeping since he left Perth,
he was requested to wake up by one
of tire men. On leaving the buggy,

hiin, when a scuffie ensued, during
which Dow -dell drew a knife and_

men of McGarry, letting out hie
bowels on the road. The Man was -
picked up and carried to his resi-
