CANADA WITH ITS SYMPTOMS AND
COMPLAINTS.
There is a cairn and dignified influence
nt work in tlio (’anadas, which is doing
much more towards (he final separation
of that territory from the national juris- ;
diction of Kngland, than has ever hi on
accorn| lished hv the spirit of insurrection,
or the vioh nee of radicalism. The ad
justment of ihe < Lemon difficulty-on terms
concurrent with the proposition of the j
United .States; the quiet submission of
ICngliunl to her defeat in tin 1 Texan a Hair,
ami the subsequent annexation of the
“Republic of the Lone Star” to ihe Uni
ted States; and ihe neutrality which
(Ireat Britain evidently designs to main
tain relative to Ihe war between this coun
try and Mexico; ad these things falling
out exact! v adverse to popular opinion
throughout Canada, and indeed contrary
to prediction in many cases both in the
United States and in England, have nil
questional*! v afl» cted to a very great de- j
gree ihe invincibility of character so ge- !
nerallv attributed to the latter nation.
11-mce it is that we now find and shall
continue to perceive in BrilFh colonial
possessions, and especially in Canada, in j
such close proximity with us, a restless
ness under the dominancy of the lliid-h |
crown, and the assumption of a different
tone and manner of intercourse with its
representative?!. The language of dicta
tion will take the place of entreaty, and
the demand of that which the colonist
deems to he a right, will he heard, instead
of the plea of the suppliant. Such is
human nature under ihe force of exam- i
pic; and the point cnee turned, the bar- i
rier once overleaped, its course is surely
onward to the Complete re assumption of i
the natural rights of man as developed in
a system of self-governmoi t.
In Canada, moreover, the hearing of •
the colony towards the mother eounliv,
though manifestly changed of late, asr.x
bibited in the press and the councils of
the people, is by no means insolent or in
any wav offensive. Ii is such as would
characterize that of an rqual, fully senri- j
ble of an inherent righ’ to that position
and capable of maintaining it either as a
friend or an enemy. Canada now speaks
to Great Britain on the subject of political
secession, just as'Texas did to the United
States on the question of annexation, and
evidently indicates a decided conviction
of its right so to do. And herein is an
important sign of the times ami one
fraught with considerations of no small I
moment to ourselves. Canada, should
she become more dissatisfied with her re
lation towards Great Britain, may proba
bly , ere long, turn lonnd and deliberately
propose an alliance with us; or she may
assert her independence, and seek to re
wain a distinct nation. One of these re
sults w ill be only averted bv concession
on the part of Great Britain, and the con
cession demanded may, perhaps, inciden
tally conflict with ilie interests of the Uni
ted States,
The Canada parliament, in a recent ad
dress to her Majesty, complains that the
repeal of the corn laws will take away
the export bounty now allowed on Canada
produce; that Canadian agriculturists
cannot successfully compete with those
of tlie United States unless the produce |
of the former is received in England at a
lower rate of duty than that of the latter;
and contend that it should he so, as Ca
nada receives British manufactures at
lower rates than we do—at present. ;
Should this plea be done away, however,
by tlw? legislation of the United States,
ihe Canadian will be left without any
<otl>cr plausible argument but his claim on
British favor. And three years more
_xyi!l be the full extent of this favor at the
UeVt, tfhould it be granted, as with the ex- I
rotation of that period produce goes into
England duty free. The address signifi
cantly bints that if the Canadians find
that they cannot compete with this coun
try in British markets, “they will natu
rally and of necessity begin to doubt
u hether remaining a portion of the British
Empire will be of that paramount advan
tage which they have hitherto found it to
be.” This to the Queen! They further
solicit her Majesty to open a negotiation
with the President of the United States for
the admission of Canadian produce into
this country on the same terms at which
England admits our produce.
'The Colonial Secretary replies to this
address, and says that Canada must not
expect a market fur her farm produce to
he maintained “by means of a perpetual
tax on the people of England;” but states ;
that the government of the United States
will bo applied to touching their request;
and with reference to the hint about cut
ting the acquaintance, says with remark
able moderation:
“It would indeed he a source of the
greatest (am to her Majesty’s Govern
ment if they could share in the impression
that the connection between this country I
and Canada derived its vitality from no
other source than from the exchange of
commercial preferences. If it were so,
it might appear to be a relation consisting
in the exchange, not of benefits, but of ;
burdens; it it were so, it would suggest j
the idea tb.it lhe connection itself had ;
reached, or was about to reach, the legi
timate terms of its existence. But her
Majesty’s Government still augur for it a
longer duration, founded upon a larger
and firmer basis—upon protection ren
dered from the one side, ami allegiance
freely and loyal y returned from the
other—upon common traditions of the
past, and hopes of the future—upon re
semblances in origin, in laws, .and in
manners—in what inwaidly binds men
and communities of men together, as well
as in the close association of those mate- j
rial interests which, as her Majesty’s Go
vernment are convinced, are destined not
to recede but to advance, not to be severed,
but to lie more closely and healthfully
com 1 ined under the quickening influences
of increased commercial freedom.”
We cannot tell how the Secretary’s re- ,
ply has been received in Canada, as it ap- j
pea red only in the London “League” of j
the 13th ult. But somewhat in anticipa- ;
tion of it, the Montreal Herald of the 27th
nil. complains bitterly of “the ignorance j
displayed by the English Parliament with
regaid to Canadian affairs.” And re
mit iking upon the subject, a New York
paper observes, “this is, at the present ’
crisis, very significant. It does not
threaten a .separation, but speaks of the
policy of the English government as cal- 1
dilated to lead to such an event.” Thus
the open question of separation—with the '
t ight to do so quietly and upon choice, is :
distinctly presented to the observation of
the British government; and that the j
leaven will work with rapidity no man i
can doubt. 'Jdie Montreal Herald puts ;
the matter home to the government and
pretended friends of Canada in England, !
in the following brief paragraph:
“.So/ disci nt fiiends of Canada have 1
lately appeared at home, in great mini- j
hers: let them now show their sincerity.
Let Lord George Beiitinck propose the 1
abolition of differential duties: let Lord ;
.Stanley press the removal of the Is. per
qua i ter now levied upon our grain; and
let li.tie Roebuck—for the proposal savors i
somewhat of radicalism, th ugh perfectly
just in fact—see if he cannot obtain the
remission of the interest on our debt, un- j
til the great experiment before us is fairly !
tried; and if these measures be carried ;
we shall be satisfied that all has been* j
done for us which the principles of free |
trade now in vogue will admit of.”

[From the i\. \. Journal of Commerce .]
THE TARIFF AND PRICES.
It is superfluous to say anything on the I
oft refuted assertion of the advocates of
Protection, that high duties make goods
cheap; and my only object in this com- J
munication is to shew from the acts and
assertion s of t ho protectionists lhemsel ves,
that they never believed anv such thing.
Such a flurry as there was, on the pas
sage cl the bill a few days since, among J
manufacturers, owners of factory stock, i
and others interested in the old system, 1
have seldom witnessed. “The manufac
turers will he ruined, the labor of the
country destroyed, the customs defraud
ed; ami if you have heard as much as I
have about it,•yru have witnessed a total
abandonment of the humbug of low prices
consequent upon Protection, which I veri
ly believe has been the only effectual
weapon, or rather bugbear, which has
blinded a large portion of the people.—
'The fact is, that the Protectionists were so
completely taken aback, that their tear ,
absolutely destroyed their reason. When
brought to the point, they were not willing
to admit that we could not make goods as
cheap here as they can in England—their
bold assertions heretofore, forbade that;
—and after considerable floundering,
their anxiety seemed to be concencrated
on the hand loom weaversofPhiladelphia.
Well, if they are destroyed, the world
will not come to an end, nor will the “in
dustry ofthe country,” properly so called,
suffer.
But I wish to set at rest the false as
sertion that under the Tariff of 1342,
prices were lessened. The assertion is
totally false, and I defy any one to prove
it to the satisfaction of any reasonable
person. I now assert that staple dry
goods, which form a very important and
prominent item in the expenses of the peo
pie, and which are to dry goods what
wheat and corn are to agriculture, con
stantly declined under the operation of
the Compromise Act, and were at a lower
point at and a short lime subsequent toils i
expiration, than ever before or since. I
speak of Merrimack blue and low priced
juints for common wear, and brown
sheetings and shirtings. With the excep
tion of a short period, I think between
June 1542, and June, 1843, which, owing
to causes independent of (lie last Tariff,
showed the very lowest point, the goods
named have advanced from fen to twen’v
five per cent. Abundant proof is at hand.
\ours, respectful!y,

WESTERN BOUNDARY OF TEX AS.
Many persons ailed to doubt whither
j the United Stales or the State of Texas
have any color of claim to the country
beyond the Nueces. They consider all
the territory between that liver and the
Rio Grande as belonging to Mexico; and
| they denounce the President forsanction
j big a war of invasion and of conquest,
when lie ;s only defending our own soil,
and prosecuting our claim for indemnity.
We aie happy to have it in our power to
settle this controversy. 'The following
letter from a distinguished jurist and sol.
diet-—who has more practical knowledge
of the Mexicans than any man w'e know
of-—conclusively shows that Mexico not
only ceded the intermediate country from
the Nueces to the Rio Grande, but that
Texas took peaceable possession of the
same and occupied it with ler troops,
with the consent of the Mexican authori
ties.
July 10th, 1840.
Col. J. F. 11. Claiborne’.
Dear S.t: You requested that I would
state the facts connected with mv occupa
tion of the countiy between the Nueces
and the Rio Grande, with the Texan cav
alry in 1830. 1 will do so as 1 deem it
of much importance at this time.
After the battle of San Jacinto, Presi
dent Santa Anna entered into a conven
tion with tiie Government of Texas, and
amongst oilier provisions stipulated, th it
the Mexican forces should abandon Tex
as and retire beyond the Rio Grande.—
Santa Anna was then a prisoner, but
Gen. Felisola and all the commandants
of Mexican detachments, ratified the con
vention, and the Mexican army was un
molested o i its retirement.
On one occasion, General Goristiza
passed wdt bin , iwm miles ofthe 'Texan
army with that portion which had garri
soned Bexar. The two armies, the Mexi
cans being most numerous, camped near
each other, and Gen. Goristiza sent a re
quest to Gen. Rusk to deliver up to him
some bread which Gen. Felisola or Urea
had left at Goliad, alleging that by San
ta Anna’s convention, he was entitled to :
it. Gen. Rusk complied. 1 mention this i
fact to show that not only Santa Anna, a
prisoner, but all the Mexican Generals ;
| recognized the Convention referred to.
About the last of June, Cols. Karnes ;
and 'Teal were sent to Ma'amoros by
1 Gen. Rusk to arrange some matters with :
the Mexican Commandants. On their
return they stated that Mexico refused to :
ratify Santa Anna’s convention; at that j
time I had been ordered on an Indian ex
j pedition to the Upper Brazos; Gen. Rusk I
sent an express to me, and I repaired to I
! In’s camp on the Guadaloupe- 1 w’as then !
elected Colonel of Cavalry, and on con
l sultation between Generals Rusk and
Green and myself, we projected an ex
pedition against Matamoros. Measures
were taken to obtain the consent and co
operation of the government; but in the
meantime I hoard that a body of Mexi
cans, supposed to he 600 strong, had come
to San Patricio on the Nueces. I then
marched to expel them. On my arrival
at the Nueces 1 found that a few iMe.v
cans had been there, and my spies re
ported their trail returning beyond the
Rio Grande.
1 encamped crest of the Nueces for about
three creeks , and during most of the sum
mer our parties passed sometimes to the
vicinity of Matamoros and at others to |
near Loredo. The country was repre*
son ted by my spies as abandoned by all j
the inhabi ants except a few at Loredo,
and at Brazos Santiago Point; sometimes ■
the Mexicans had a small station of ob
servation at the Sal Colorado. The prai- ]
l ies were covered with cattle, abandoned J
and our parties drove in a great many to
the main army. In fact nearly all the
subsistence of the army after I as- j
sumed the main command in the fall .was
from parties which I sent beyond the
Neuees to drive cattle.
Some gentlemen are a little captious i
about this way of supporting a w-ar; but
I hope that they will consider that we did
not have an inexhaustible treasury, had
no other resource, and that I, in my ig.
norance, do not know how to run up a
ten million, let alone a fifty or seventy
million bill for a Mexican war.
Texas could not, in fact, acquire a
complete right to any line, the Trinity or
Brazos, Rio Grandeor Pacific, (my favo- j
rite line) until we made a treaty of peace
with Mexico, But I consider the con
vention with Santa Anna, its ratification
by the Mexican Generals, their returning j
beyond the Rio Grande, my occupation
beyond the Neuees in a short time there- i
after, as important facts entitled to great
weight in the consideration of the ques
tions which arise under the new’ state of
affairs grow ing out of the annexation of
Texas to the United States. Yours,
FELIX HUSTON. I

r A PT. R ANDOLPH RIDGLEV.
Os all the recent brevet promotions in
the army, says the Philadelphia Times,
no one has been more merited than that j
of Lieut. Randolph Ridgley, who was
next in command to the glorious Ringgold
at Palo Alto.
In a priva’e letter from an officer who
w’as present, we procure the following
characteristic conversation between May
and Ridgley, which occurred the moment
before May’s gallant charge. When
May w as ordered to charge and take the
enemy’s artillery, the smoke was so thick
that he could not tell w here they were,
fie rode up to Ridgley and cried out, j
“where’s their battery, Randy?”
■ “Just ride out of my line a little and ,
I’ll find ’em for you, Charley!” said
| Ridgley, instantly firing his battery in
their supposed direction. Tue enemy at
once returned the fire, sweeping Ridg- '
ley’s - command with terrible effect.—
“There they are Charley, now go it!” )
said Ridgley, and “Charley” did “go it,”
with a “vindictive rush.”
Os all the young officers that were en
gaged in the Florida war none distinguish,
j ed themselves more than did Randolph
I Ridgley. On one occasion in the Ockla- I
w aha Sw amp, with a small party of men,
ho was attacked by a large body of In
dians who w’ere posted in a thick ham
mock on the opposite bank of a creek. — :
The men recoiled before the dreadful fire j
of the foe and turned to run. “Cow- ;
I aids!” cried Ridgley, “will you see your
officer whip them alone?” and spurred his 1
horse into full speed and charged alone
across the creek amid a perfect shower
of bullets. His scornful appeal and gal- j
lant conduct reanimated the flying sol
diers, they turned and joined him with a
hearty and fearless cheer. In a moment
more, all that lived of the enemy were 1
flying into the far recesses of the swamp.
Ridgley now bears several honorable
marks of the enemy’s prowess in that war. |
He is a Baltimorean, has a brother in the
i U. S. Navy, who is also “a chip of the i
same block.” Another of his gallant i
a Lieut, in the Navy, was ac- ;
cidentally killed about 3 years since.
Colonel Panne. —This gallant officer,
who was so severely wounded at the hat- ;
tie of “Rcsuca de ia Palma,” arrived in
j Baltimore last night by the Susquehanna
; Railroad and look lodgings at Barnum’s. |
He has so far recovered from his wounds 1
as to he a file to walk pretty well on
crutches. He brings with him a nurn- ■
j her of trophies ofthe two battles, consist- |
ing ofeighteeu standards of flags, banners, '
I lances, spears, &c. Among them is the
famous and beautiful flag, remarkable
fir its elegantly worked Eagle, bearing !
i the inscription “Battallion Guardacoste ;
i Tampico.” This trophy was torn from
; its staff by a Mexican soldier in the heat !
ofthe battle, who put it into his hat. Ho
i w’as subsequently taken prisoner, and the
\ flag preserved. The health ofthe veteran
, Colonel, we regret to see, is much im
; paired, ami he is but a shadow of what
he was when lie left the command of Fort
j McHenry to join the army at the South.
He will leave hero to-morrow for Wash
ington with the trophies, which will be
deposited in the War Department.
Captains Hunter and Kerr, Lieutenants
Saunders, Lowry and Jones, of the D>a
| goons, have also arrived in Baltimore from :
the seat of war: were all gallant
j and brave participants in the battles on
the R o Grande. —Baltimore Patriot.
American Credit Abroad. —As an evi- j
dence of the stan iing of Americans in Eu- I
rope, or at least in Russia, it is stated, by
Col. Todd, our late Minister to Russia,
i that the engineer on the Groat Russian
1 Rail Road from St. Petershurgh, is an
American, and that the whole line of that ;
road, (440 miles,) has been given to |
: American contractors. The contract
amounts to $4,300,000 and no security
I is required of them.

i mentors take a few hot coals on a shovel j
