Reciprocity and Annexation,
inspited by a recent article in the
London'k-Englancl-Stanciard, and by a ,
desire ta raise an injurious ay against
their p4)litical opponents, certain Can-
andian journals proteet that the propos-
ed Reciprocity Treaty, between Canada
and the, United States, is but the thin
end of the annexation wedge, and that
the Treaty, if carried. iato operation, Will
u1tima4.1y lead to a combination of the
two nationalities. Unfounded as thie
preclictiion is, and groundless .as are the
I fears eXpressed, if their absurdity be not
shown, some may be led by them to look
unfavorably ;upon a commercial arrange.
meat whicli cannot fail to be of the ni-
t
most benefit to both countries. We aie
glad, therefore, that Hon, Alexander
Mackenzie, in a recent speech delivered.
,
at Quebec, has seen fit to cornbat this
erroneous view. Mr. Madkenzie declares
it te be his belief that Canada and the
-United States are likely long to remain -
politically as they are. Mutual inter-
course end. :recipaocity •of trade, he
thinks, , are all very well, but there is no
reason -Why this exchange a commercial
interests should pave the way to that
abstorbtion which the opponents of the
Treaty !pretend to so much dread. On
I
the oontrary, there is much reason to be-
lieve t at the improved condition of each
• countr will have the effect of making
thepeople of these ' countries more con-
tented and better satisfied with their
present political institutieni. Official
returns indisputa.rbly show that the co4-
merce a the Republie as well as of Can -
Aida hen been benefited by .an even ex-
change of commodities. The American
State of Maine complains that the late
Treaty was one-sided, and the opponents
of Reciprocal trade in Canada complain
that the proposed Treaty is one-sided.
Nevertheless, it ca.nUot be deniecl that
both cOuntries have; uperf the whole,
been Oiners by the working of the late
Treaty, 1 and it can, be easily slasievn that
both wfil be :e-ven more benefitted by the
'propold Treaty. Unfortunately, it is
not always . that the prosperity of a
ain.gle State, Piovince or interest is in-
volved in that of the whole community
of Stats or interests. It may be that
the proposed Treaty Will effect injutiolise
ly single States and. individual intpre,sts,
but sintply because of this, it wou1I cer-
tainly not be wise to abandon a se , eme
4
. whichwould have a general good. effeet.
There is not in all this question . of a
reciprocal exchange of proclu.cts any ad-
equate round for argament on the pros-
pects o annexation. There are so many
reasons why two different and distinct
forms of political government should ex-
ist on this great continent, that it Seems
to the last degree idle to speculate on
the surrender of either fot the other, To
raise this annexation phantom, there -
:fore, and. through it endeavor -to defeat
a scheme which would_ be a benefit alike
to both: countries, merely for the sake of
a petty party triumph, is, to -say the
least, unpatriotic. The annexation par-
ty M Canada is so infinitismally small' as
°I
to be almost unworthy of mention It
scarcely had an existence daring the
continuance of ,the . old. Reciprocity
Treaty, and any: strength it possesses
has been gained since that _Treaty war:,
abrogra.ted. Why then, should we sup-
pose, that the existence of a new T eatyr
would. • infuse into that party lfiesh
strength or energy' Even in the IF itecl
State e there can not be found a man of
positieu or note who has ever expressed a
desire for closer relationship witlh us
than free trading intercourse Windy
politicians., on . great oecasions, to tickle
the vanity of their. .andience, may have
,
pictured to them a Republic embracing
the entire American continent, but we
are assured on the best authority that
such imaginations have no part in the
---,formation of public sentiment. Is it
not absurd then, to deny ourseltes a
benefit, through. feat that that benefit
will bring about an event which i not
even desired by either country ? .
AT Thin cony -minor of teachers' repre-
sentatiVes for the selection of a candidate
to represent them in the council of Pub-
lic Instruction,. held in Tbronto or Fri-
day last, Dr. Sangster received theinom-
inationi by a majority- of two. The vote
stood, Dr. Sangster, 27; Professor Gold -
Win Snaith, 25, and 'Mr. McCabe, 1. It
ih impossible yet to form any opinion as.
to what the result 'will ultimately be.
There is one fact, hovirever, of which there
is no .doubt: if Dr. Saugster does not ex-
plain satisfactorily the grounds upon
which is. former wife obtained her di-
vorce, his object in concealing that she
,bad obtained a clivor e, and. us evid nt at-
tempt- to lead. the public to suppose
that the opinion of Mr. Cameron was
fOillned upen the facts honnected with a
di-ercse obtained by himself -not by his
wife -he. does not deserve, and should
not receive the auffragee of the the Pub-
lic School teachers. Should be explain
these points satisfactorily, thr, in Eh.
mtoral point of view, there has ben noth-
ing proven against him which s sould de-
ter the teachers from ersting their votes
in his favor.

At the A nual Meeting of the bounden.
Board of Tr de, heldJast week at Ottawa
the followin resolutions were passed:
1. Tha this Board reiterates its for-
merly expre sea opinion in favor of Reci-
procity beti ecu the United States and
Can ad a. •
".2. Tha while the documeut knowa
as 'the draf of the Reciprocity Treaty'
contains una ly 'desirable provisions, par-
ticularly su h as relate to the exchange of
natural pro icts andethe reciprocal exten-
sion of mari ime privileges, the Treaty 18
nevertheless defective in the privileges se-
cured for C nada, which are not nearly
so valuable s those conceded to the Un-
ited States and that this Board, by
means of a roperly constituted Commit-
tee and oth rwise, take steps to repre-
sent to the overnment of Canada those
aspects of t e Treaty in which it is un-
fair to Cana a, or might operate preju-
dicially to anadian interests."
The abov resolutions, although car-
ried, do not properly represent the opia-
ions of th 1 oard as expressed. in the
discussion hich took place on the pro-
posed treatef. The Board was almost a
unit in fa,ve4 of reciprocal trade between

heavy tax, while the trade of that

SIR : The welfth of July was cele-
brated in W oxeter, on Monday, July

R. Gowan, he far-famed " founder of
Ora,ngeism in. Canada, was to be present,
a large cro d gathered, expecting to
hear a real, enione, Orange speech, but
alas! it was ar from being such. Mr.
Gowan, hav g consulted. some of the
wiser heads of c.,torrie, some of whom
hold importa t positions in our toWn-
ship, as to w at subject it would be ad-
visable for ihn to speak 'upon, chose
politics. or r ther a subject in the ex-
planation of hich he tried to impress
upon the min. s of these present that ev-
ery man who was not an Orangeman or
Conseryati e was riot worthy the name
of a man. le spoke of the early polities
of Canada, giving the credit for any-
thing good to the Conservative party,
and putting the Reform party down as
all being rab ls. - He did not, however,
speak of the Beverly riots, in which he
himself was ifrnplicited, when bradawls,
clubs, &c., w. re freely put into exercise
on the bodie4 and heads of those who
would not vo e to please the minds of

1 have heard that the EXPOSITOR had
said. that Mt. Clegg, the Belgrave post-
master, has used it well, but, in his ca-
pacity of township Clerk, he has dis-
franchised some people who say that he
has not Used them well Neither can I
say that he uses me well, With his insinu-1
atiiig sneers, when I anr undo.° the neces-
eity of going into liis post office, by mak-
ing charges against me which he dare .
not attempt to prove. But what else
coulkl be expected from the man who
lent his official name to deceive the pub -
lie ? When 1 had anything to say agaiiest
the public character of this gentleman, I
said. it in !lhe columns of the Brussels
Post, and over my own. signature, and
he date not reply. That is the reason he
has • for showing his spleen against the
Brussels Post, and trying to drag me
into the ,squabble. The Editor of the
Post has made a charge against him.
Why does he not defend himself ? He
would doubtless do so if he were inno-
cent. Why does he try to mislead. the ,
people around. Belgrave, by endeavoring
to make them believe that I ani the per-
son who complained to the Editor of the
Post, because of the nondelivery of his
newspaper ? If Mr. Clegg does not do
his duty to me in his capacity of post-
master, it is not to the Editor of the
Post, nor any other editor, that I shall
complain. Hoping that you will insert
these few lines, I remain, yours truly,

[Although the above lettet is rather
more personal and. abusive than we care
about publishing, and the autlior seems
to be meddling in what does not concern'
him, his name, so far as we know, never
having been publicly alluded to in the
matter, yet, as he assumes the entire
responsibility of its contents, by signing
Ins own name to it, we give it publicity.
At the same time, however, we cffer Mr.
Clegg the privilege of replying, after
which, the controversy, so far as we are
concerned, must cease. We stated last
week that the total patronage we had re-
ceived from the township Council of
Morris during, the past two years
amounted only to $3. We again repeat
this statement, notwithstanding what is
said by Mr. Armstrong in his letter
above published.. -En. EXPOSITOR.
-A resident of the village of Harris -
ton died. last week, of whom it is said
that if his intervals of sobriety, during
the last 30 years, were all put together,
they would. not amount to one whole day.
