This is tlicsum and sub- stance of the Giit cry ; they want office, it is true, but it is only to give us a milleniuin quicker.â€" Judge these men by their words, and they are too good lorcarth; but try them by their actions, and it will be lltlpOSSllch to find men more unprihcipletl, a position abundantly proved by the £5000 bribe of a Brownâ€"~ilic office-seeking of filacdougallâ€"â€"and last,but not least, by the political tergivcrsaiions and Council Jobs of the Grit Candidate for legislative honors for King’s Divisionâ€"â€"David lteesorJflditor and Proprietor of the .lllai‘k/iam Eco- nomi'st. Last week Mr. Reesor issued an address to the electors, which, from its very indéfiniteness, proves that its author is only acting apart; for on the great question ofthe (lay the Dissolution of the Unionâ€"lie gives an uncertain sound. He says that. some change is necessary,but what he does not know. This, as an ad- mission of ignorance, might go down with those who desire an ig- i'ioi'amus to represent them, but it does not tally with what has previ- ously appeared in his Economist,- for there he has for the past twelve months advocated DISSOLUTION, PURE and SIMPLE, as the extracts in our supplement will show. Does not this evince that Mr. Recsor is playing fast and loose with the electors? For previous to his nomi- nation Federal Union Was a sham ; but finding, from Mr. Perry‘s suc- , cessful canvass, that “ Dissolution, l eon-e and simple,” was not. popular, f imprinciplcd popularity-hunter lf‘vll‘. Reesor] modifies his views to some indefinite constitutional Ichanges. Out upon such a walking “‘Chaii'ieleon,” who,as a politician, is without honor or principle, and yet has the audacity to question Mr. Perry’s liones‘iy,wliose platform is plain and distinct in its utterances. Again, in his address Mr. Rccsor only advocates the restriction of iSr-parate Schools; whilst in 1858, for four long months he denounced M r. ’i‘rudgcon, of the Tiiz’buncdn the most unmeasured terms because he Mi'fl‘i‘udge‘onl was supposed to . i:..._ and at that time there. was not a more rabid Separate School Aboliâ€" tionist in the province than Mr. lit-esor, as will be seen on referring to our supplen‘ient. We would .like to know how it is that Mr. .Reesor has so suddenly changed ‘liis opinions; for at piesent it looks very much like an electioneering trick. Two years since Mr. Reesor pitched into all the Anti-Bi‘ownites because they dared to tax Mr. Brown with dropping the " Repre- sentation by Population” agitation. ‘l'lc proved to a demonstration, by Mr. Brown’s speech, that it was not dropped, but that had Mr. Brown been minister longer than tWo days, we should have got it.

Nay, it was a direct violation of his oath.

His next accusation is, that if any person is to blame for ordering printing to be done at the Economist oflice, it must be ii'iysclf or the other members of the Council, not him- self. But Will Mr. lteesor tell me by what authority be printed the by~law for regulating taverns for this year, as the Council never gave him any, as be printed it wiiliiiiit the knowledge of the Council. and i-oiitrai‘v to a standing resolution of the Council, that all printingr was to be done by tcndcr (ul‘ did John Mansfield do it)â€"â€";it that time I llCVUl‘ heard of any airiniigcincnt bc- twwn Mi. liensor and Mr. Mans- field to do printing for this munici- pality, nor has it ever been men- tioned in the Council at all ; and on Saturday last, when my reenlution was before the Council, be said that Mansfield lizid contracted for print- mg the Township Accounts without his knowledge, but never said that there 'ns any arriiiigciiieiit between them to enable him (Mansfield) to do a without his authority. lic- l-lurtlinf-X the letter from the Townâ€" ship Clcrlt, which is copied in full by Mr. Recss’ir, in which Mr. Eiikiiis states that l was not at home when he called to ask my opinion about letting the contract for printing the fownsliip Accounts, he foigets to state that he received it shortly af- terwards in writing ; and as to Mr. liccsor’s trying to make it appear to be through political tl'lOllVCS tlizitl brought the charge against. him, it is utterly false, as l Considered that it was my duty. as a iiieiiilier of the Council, to do so ; and when chargâ€" cd by Mr. lteesor at the Council with political mot ves [denied the charge, and he(Mr. Rec-sot) accept ed the denial. What i‘casmi has he had since of renewing that charge? In conclusion, Mr. l’tecsnr may depend that the charge brought against him before the Council will he tested in the Court of Queen's Bench. 5 Yours. truly , I ' ROBERT MARSH.
