Day by day the riot thickens, but no heavy blows have yet been struck. From our despatches to-day we infer that the excitement is still rising towards the high- est pitch; and it will be somewhat strange if it do not boil or er before long. The Montgomery Government, having failed to take time by the forelock, as it was anti- cipatcd it would have done, and attempt the capture of W'ashington, whilst it was ill prepared for an attack, has betaken it- self to do more easy task of legislation. Letters of marque appear to be in demand; it is stated that over 30,000 applications have been made for them ; but we are not told how many, if any of all, have been issued. Mr. Jefferson Davis is a shrewd mm, and Mr. Stephens is still shrewder; but we very much question whether, after all their talk about letters of marque and reprisal they wrll enter upon such a hazar- dous game as to issue them. The civilized nations of the world would frcwn upon such a course, and the Confederate States would, by this means, lose whatever chance they may otherwise stand of being recog nich a de facto goqernment. A drrspatch, which is said to be reliable, states that Arkansas has joined its fortunes with the other slave states. This was to have been expected; it could not have well done otherwise, when its position geo- graphically and socially is considered. is also stated, on the authority of the ediâ€" ' tor of the Louisville Journal, that Ken. tucky will go out of the Union. This State, thougn slave, has been looked upon as firm in its allegiance to the federal g0- Vernment, and its defectionâ€"should it oc- curâ€"will be regarded with no small degree of surprise. Notwithstanding the action of the Mary fond legislature, in endeavorrng to place the control of the. State in the hands Of a ~-"committcc of safety,’ notoriousLy in fta "‘t’j‘or Cf Secession, the union feeling seems to be regaining ground. A second sober thought has driven off the wild delusions of the hour; and the peOple are beginning to recognize the force of the Well estab- lished fact, that demagogues are not to be trusted, when place and power are the objects of their ambition. Annapolis is being rapidly filled with troops, and'its po sition as a military depot is said to be good. The way through Baltimore to the Capital is open, and the ‘ plugâ€"uglics’ of that notorious .city seem for the time to be under the control of the law. . The herO'of Summerâ€"Major Anderâ€" son-has received the command of the Kentucky brigade. This is Well. An- derson is himself a Kcntuckian, and he may be able to do something towards preâ€" venting his State from rushinginto the maelstrom of sucession.‘ His brigadcjs expected to move to Annapolis. On the whole, we gather from the de' spatchcs tO-day that the Federal Govern- ment is working itself up surely into-a position, which will enable it, not merely to repel the attacks of the enemy,bnt show tight for fight. There is a limit beyond which endurance ceases to bea virtue, and that limit has been reached in the Amer ican republic. Seth Smart, an Indian confined in Picton VgaOl for the murder of Abraham and Sarah Peterson, last November, hung himselfin his cell on Thursday last. 110 had driven the iron latch of his cell into the wall, d suspended himselftherefrom; He has rn’a' a confession of ilionrtn-der of which howas‘ accused. blematical. ing through a dreary speech of se-‘ veral columns in length, is not al- It- The business of wad- ways the most instructive or enter- taining mode of spending time, especially when we. recollect that the character of the majority ofthese orations would be most aptly illus- trated by comparing them to, the. crops produced during the seasons in which the weavcl committed its greatest ravages; which contained an unusually large proportion of chaff to an exceedineg small quan- tity of wheat of very inferior qua- lity. From the condensed reports communicated by telegraph from the seat of Government, it is quite." apparent that the deliberations of the fourth session of the sixth Par- liament Of United Canada,have thus and 7 extent frustrated. We 10 0111‘ >9<¢â€"_â€"â€"_â€". Rebellion. WE call upon the people of Canada, in view of the approaching election, to peruse carefully the following choice morceau uttered in the house on Monday last by one. of the lead- ing members of the Opposition. Mr. Foley while supporting the petition of Mr. Montgomery, for indemnity on account of rebellion losses, is reported to have spoken as follows ' “ Mr. Foley in reply to Mr. Pow. ell, said-w'l‘bat the rebellion of 1837 was justifiable ; and if the wants of Upper Canada were not complied wit/z by Lower Canada, t/tcrc would boa repetition of it.” A short timc ago Mr. McDougall astonished the House by enunciat- ing republican Sentiments, and threatening annexation to the United States; and now Mr. Foley menaees us with rebellion. It is fortunate that the vich of these gentlemen have leaked out. They have displayed a degree of impru- dence which is not very creditable far been of an unusually quiet cha- racter. There has been much leSs of noisy wrangling, Of time-killing speeches and of viole; t and formi- dable exposition, than has been witnessed for some years past.â€" Without doubt the absence of the" Clear Grit chief from the. House has materially contributed to bring about this desirabe result. But although less time has been wasted in noisy deelamation, and a corres- pondingly increased amount of use.- ful legislation has been effcctcd, yet we are not prepared to say that an opposition may not be of very great utility; and while we are (flame trically Opposed to the, policy of the Grits, we must admit that they are much better than no Opposition at all. Like the over-noisy watch- dog, which constantly disturbs our slumbers by false alarms, they are continually the cause of groundless apprehensions to the unthinking portion of the community; still it sometimes happens that they give us warning of real danger, and thereby enable us to avoid it. But. the great pity is, that these public sent-inels make no distinction be- tween robbers and honest men, but against everything emanating from their opponents, they keep tip an unceasing bowl. to which people become so accustomed, that no at- tention is paid to their cries, and l is permitted to rob the flock with impunity. Now we think that no candid man will deny that the GO~ ve‘rnmcnt have introduced, since the opening of the present session, some of the most valuable mea- sures that have been enacted for several years past; yet every one of these measures hav been Opposed with as much energy and determi- organized party to exhibit. The members of the Opposition even spoke and voted against the very bills, Of which they had previously advocated the necessity. It is ge- nerally conceded, that under our system of governmcn the united ac- tion of a political party is requisite, in order to carry out any established line .of policy; but when a party unites upon the sole principle of determined hostility to every pro- position, good or bad, which origi- nates with their Opponents,then our noble system of Responsible Go- vernment degeneratesinto an arena of petty contests for political ascen- dancy and self-aggrandizement.â€"â€" When the defeat of a government lbecomes an end instead of a means, then are our liberties really in danger, and the blessings of free government become a mockery. we notice among the bills intro- duced by the Attorney General West, a very excellent measure, havingr for its object the abolition of the present practice of recording sentence of death against criminals, in cases in which it is not in- tended that these sentences should becarried out. Jurists in all ages have urged upon lcgislatOrs the vast importance of rendering the punishment of crime as certain as his possible to make it. The un- .certainties of the law are among its greatest weakneSses. The penal- .Once convinced that his chances of escape are more numerous. than his chances of punishment. It has frequently happened that sentence ofâ€"death has been pronounced upon a c’riminal,~ he being told at the same time that he must entertain no hope of any mitigation of pun- ishment, while it was well known that the sentence would not be car- ried out. The evils of this practice are apparent. The culprit, after sentence of death, escapes with his life. Every criminal, it is supposed by the intending murderer, has a when the real wolf approaches, he ‘ nation as it was possible for a dis. ing By-laws, which were .ty attached to the commission of a. herime is stripped of half its power. '.-.when the prospective criminal is to their prudence, however it may be to their candour. What Confid- ence can be placed in men who have so little hesitation in advocat- ing rebellion? We trust that the people will show by their votes at the proper time, that they have no sympathy with such sentiments.â€" The following passage-atvarms is rather" amusing than otherwise .-â€" “ Mr. Powell charged the Opposi- ’tion with revolutionary principles.” , “ Mr. Foley denied it. and said that it was false that Mr. McDOu- gall had made use Of the threat to look to W'ashington, buf‘ admitted that be (Mr McDougall) had made use of such words, merely, howâ€" ever, as a casual expression?" (Loud laughter.) The use of the adjective casual in this connection reminds us very forcibly of Dr. Ryerson’s celebrated ‘Casual ‘ Advantages.’ 5.4 Markham CounciI.

The show of Horses was good, but the badricss of the roads and the unfavorable" state of theflveather, hindered the diSplay usually made at our Spring Fair. The Bulls shown were few in number, but of superior breed. In Durliatns the Prince of Wales maintained his position as first in his class, followed pretty closely by the ‘ General,’ or ‘I/I’hat you Like,’and‘ backed up by Sir John the If, a new com- pttltOI‘ for honors.
