A Miserable i'ailure. -
The result of .the *labors of the
Joint High Commission has not been
of a -nature calculated to inspire
-Canadians with any very great degre -
of hope for the future. It was ex-
pected by many, from the great
flourish of trumpets which was
made when this Commission was
a)pointed l thap., the various vexed
muestions whieh existed between the
different countries interested, would
be settled in a manner which would
be just and satisfactory, to all. Those,
however, who entertaiced this hope,
must now confess, that they- have
been grievously d;sappointed. But,
-what has been loss to Canada hs
been gain to the United States.
The marvelous success which attend-
ect the effarts of the Commissioners
of that- country, must cbrtainly have
surprised even themselves.
The principal questions affecting
this country, which were tobe set-
tled by the- CommisSion were, the
Alabama claims, the Fisheries, and
damages sustained by Canada. from
Fenian raiders. Now, let us look
at the manner in which it is pro-
posed to settle all these vexed ques-
tions. In the first place, the Am -
having no fisher's of t eir own
worthl.0 sing, Were ci t off fc M a very

it was ,generally and frm1y believed
that our authoritis wou1c net re-
