Affairs In Canada.


We published in an Extra Herald yesterday, af.
ternoon, the message of the Governor General of
Canada TO the Provincial Parliament, on lis open
ing on the 10th inst. We re-publish it In another
column ofto-day's paper.


1t is an important document in two points OF view.
First; the Developments it makes relative to the
organization Of the militia throughout Canada, hav
ing reference to the United States. Second the
alarm manifested in the Province relative to the
new commercial policy of Great Britain, and its ef-
feet on the prosperity OF Canada


That partot the message which refers to the pro-
bable difficulties between the United States and
England Is very important. We have known that
the militia OF Canada was undergoing complete re-
organization; but efforts made to suppress the
fact of the frequent drills, and to induce to be-
lieve that they were merely local, and had refer
ence to this Union. The Governor General has
now endorsed all that we have published.


The new commercial system of Sir Robert Peel
is Likely to have an unfavorable influence on the
Canadians It may induce emigration from the
Province to the United States and, perhaps, hasten





The message should be carefully read.


The Aspect OF the Pnrties-Cl,arter Election.
The present state of the parties in this city is GER
tainly very peculiar one The charter election is
approaching, and all the ciiques feel it necessary to
exert every means in their power, first to get a
ticket which shall be popular, and then to sustain it
in a creditabe manner


The democratic party have already held their
Mayoralty Convention, and unanimously Offer
ed the nomination to William F. Havemeyer-pro-
badly the most popular Mayor New York has lately
had. With his name at the head Of their ticket,
the democratic party would be pretty sure of sue
cess, according to the calculation OF several Many
wings and city reform men would vote for him; but
there are few naturalized citizens who still recol-
lect his nomination of Justice Taylor for the office
OF Chief OF the Police. But Mr.. Havemeyer most
unequivocally, we understand declines the nomi-
nation. For nearly year he has filled the Mayors
seat with honor and has strven to carry out various
plans tor city Improvement and reform. But his
aids, the Common Council, have never been willing
TO act IN concert with him, but have apparently
thrown every obstacle in his path toward the attain
ment OF his just desires. With them, we under
stand him to be about disguised, and believe that he
has determined TO retire to private life, and enjoy
the wealth which he has obtained by a course of
untirinR industry and enterprise.


What Is the great democratic party to do in this
quandaryf They must nominate a man who is
popular with the whole people, or else the people
will break through party traces and run an inde-
pendent ticket; or the wings and natives will COM
bne, and elect, probably the native Mayor and the
whig Aims House Commissioner. But we shal
see.


The wings have also met In Mayoralty Conven-
tion, and adjourned without doing any thing. Their
hope of success small that they have little en-
terprise, and only wait for favorable wind, which
they think may, some how or other, get them, If
not entirely, at least partially into power.


The native party has been galvanized into life
again, and has nominated Mayor, William B.
Cozzens, Esq, man very popular, not alone with
the small party whom he directly represents, but
with large portion of independent citizens Were
he nominated as an independent candidate, his
prospect of success would be good. But sprinQlng
as he does from the newly famed, expiring fires OF
nativism, his only hope is coalition with the whlg
party.


There appears to be considerable difficulty in the
two great parties about getting candidate for this
office, and there is some chance OF its going beg
ging. The democrats are in trouble, on account of
Mr.. Havemeyer's declining; the Germans are in
trouble, in consequence of Col. Alexander Hamil-
tons declining; and the wings are in a quandary,
and are undecided whether they better make a
nomination OF combine with the natives. The best
men, in all the parties, refuse to accept; and every
thing in political way is topsy turvy Col Hamil-
ION would have made excellent officer; Mr..
Havemeyer is already well known: but all the
parties will have to take mp new men, upon new
principles, and elect them, if possible, upon new
tactics.


Il the mean time, leaving the parties to work out
their own salvation, we should like to see some
popular man nominated as an independent candi-
date. Let this be done, and there will be some fun
at the polls on the 18th of April next


NATIONAL FAIR.-We perceive that certain pro-
iectionist members of Congress have issued cir.
cular, respectfully inviting


"The artisans, mechanics, and Of the
United States to send specimens Of their various produc
tons with their prices to be compared with Brth
manufactures sent from Manchester and being sx
hibited in the Of the Committee on the Post or
nee and Post Roads, to influence the action of Congress-
IN relation to the proposed modification Of the tariff


1t is not at all probable that this great national
fair will materially affect the action OF the govern
Iuenf, but its results will certainly be beneficial in
