We rather think that some of our cotcmporaries acting on the. spur of the ii'ioment, have been some- w'tal hasty in making their umcndv honorable to Mr. Brown ; for al- ‘tliottgn the names of the gentlemen lprove that the $20,000 bribe was in verily it pure basiness- transaction, are highly respectable, yet, their evidence is by no means proof of inuocency, and for this very reason, none ofthe gentlemen referred to weie present at tl'icfinole, therefore their evidence only shows that up to acerlain point all was right; but beyond that. is a blank which none can unravel but the parties them- selves. The following is a br‘iel suititpary of the evidence offered: Mr. Bolton, of Montreal, states that Mr. Brown consulted him last December relative to a $220,000 loan, and that the services of Mr. Taylor, an anthem broker, was engaged. Mr. Holton, however, admits that be Mr. l‘iakin to write for him, and One thing we do know, and that is, that Mr. Brown cattle out from that private confab a richer than by $20,0UO, and that the very firm who advanced the itioney shortly alter- Wardrblcdns o the tone of $4 16,000. But there is yet another reason why, our friend ot ihe Whitby Chronich and others should not liaVc yielded quite so quickly to their generous impulses. and that is, Mr. Brown netcr yet apologised for the vile slaiiders that liaVe appeared in his sheet, (as see Prototype in another V coinii‘tu) and tliereloie where there is good ground for suspicion, he is be. last. man that should whine at tiring attacked. The boy Vt liocon- iiuually called out wolf when there was none, had no right logrumble, that when the wolf was actually Worrying the sheep, people did not turn out of bed to help to drive the wolf away; neither has that than who has shown no t‘tlct't‘y to others, any right to Complain if he i'coeives no quarter. For ourselves, when he. .lioioughly clears liii't‘isclf we will willingly make amends; but whilst there is a doubt, he is not the man to receive. the. benefit of the doubt, and therefore as in duty bound We. shall hold him guilty till he proves l'iiiiiselt innocent. When he does so we shall apologise, and even then we aim“ not be giving.r hiiii “ measure for measute. ;” for al- though times and again convicted ofwitful falsel‘toiids, he never yet retracted a Word be has uttered.
