On that day at 12 o‘clock, noon, preâ€" cisely, the great Conservative party â€" of mouth (Grey met in Powâ€" Wow. During the past twelve months there has been n great deal of canvassing going on in the neighboring townships, nay, we are told in every Schoul Section in the Riding. An elaborute series of meetings was held, genâ€" tiemen of unimpeachable Conservative proclivities were appointed dolegates, and Bually when the enterprise was supposed to bo sufficiently engineered, the faithful «ssembled in solemn conclave, determined t» make one more effort to annihilate those horid Grits.

This wonâ€" derfai instrument reminds us of a certain tbig story" which we overheard in our boyish days, and we repeat it without in the slightest degree throwing any doubt upon the capalilities of the microphone. Two men were reclining cn a mossy bank under the shade of a wideâ€"spread beech, trying to outvie one another as to who could tell the most marvellous story. One said *he could see a fly on the top of a church steeple." Not to be outdone the other said ho could see it wink." But it appears that the microphone will enable one to hear a fly walk at many hundred times the distance from the top of the tallest steeple to the point of observation of these aboveâ€"mentioned worthies. â€"â€"On the occasion cf the meeting of the Bouth Grey Teachers‘ Association, which was held here on the 30th ult., Mr. Forguâ€" son, Inspector for the District, delivered a very interesting lecture in the evening, on education, but chiefly drawing the atâ€" tention of his hearers to the present state of our schoois and the duties of teachers and trustces in reference to the work to which they are appointod. The room was well filled by the members of the Associaâ€" ation and a sprinkling of the general pubâ€" he. The chair was occupted by Dr. Gun. At the close of the lecture J. H. Hunter, Esq., M. P. P., and Gilbeit MecKechnie, Esq., Reeve of the town, addressed the raeeting. After the usual votes of thanks ‘were accorded the lecturer and the other speakers, the proceedings were brouglt to a close by singing the National Anthem. â€"A now instrument, called the microâ€" phone has been recently discovered by Professor Hughes, London, England. â€"The General Assemblies of the Free and Established Churches of Seotland met on the 23rd ultâ€"Dr. Bonar, of Glasgow, being elected Moderntor of the former, and Principal Tulloch, of Aberdeen, of the latâ€" ter. ‘The U.

"The chairman having stated the object of | the meeting and introduced Dr. Landerâ€" |kin as an earnest supporter of good govâ€" ernment, Dr. Landerkin proceeded to adâ€" dress the meeting upon the political quesâ€" tions of the day, dealing specially with the ery of proteetion which was at present s> loudly talked about by the Tory party, for no other object than party purposes. He said that in the evert of Sir John getting into power he would never think of atâ€" tempting to introduce a pretective fariff.

P., has adopted n | timeâ€"honoured eustom â€" of meeting with VF his constituents at the close of the Session, for the purpose ot giving an account of his f stewardship, and returning his thanks for | the confidence reposed in him during his tenure of office. The third Parliament of |the Dominion, which is about expiring, has not been barren of results. During the last five years the Government of Mr. Mackenzie has done more for the developâ€" | ment of the country, for the consolidation of the scattered Provinces of the Dominâ€" ion, and tor the amelioration of the sondiâ€" tion of the people in so far as that can be done by the Government than any of its predecessors. _ When Mr. Mackenzie ‘ came into power public affairs were in a most embarrased state, race was pitted against race, Province against Province ; gigantic public works were undertaken for which no provision had been made, onâ€" gagements had been entered into which it was utterly impossible to fulfill, and the financial affairs of the country â€" were thrown into the most disastrous state of confusion. â€" But notwithstanding this shatâ€" tored state of the body politic, induced by the corrupt and timeâ€"serving administraâ€" tion of public affairs by Sir John A. Macâ€" donald and those associated with him, and 'futher. notwithstanding the unexrimnpled period of financial depression which has res‘ed on this country in common . with all the civilized countrics of the world, under the wise and economical rule of Mr. Muckenzie and his cclleagues order has been brought out of confusion, the finanâ€" cial state of the country has been placed upon a heaithy basis, public works have been proceeded withâ€"some being completâ€" ed, others being in course of constructionâ€" of unparalleled importance, while at the same time the burdéns of the people have | not been increased. And during these|. five years the Government of Mr. Mackenâ€" | zie has had no more taithful or consistent | supporter than the member for South |, Grev. f ent opportunity. Let local associations have regular weekly or fortnightly meetâ€" meetings, at which all the details of orgaâ€" nization should be examined, and anything wanting supplied. It is only in this way that the strength of a political party can be kept up and victory secured. imously, nem con. Mr. Jnckson in reply said that although the way was long and hard, and quite a herculean work to disâ€" lodge the enemy, still, as he hoped to enâ€" joy the honour he would risk the hazard of the undertaking. And the conclave disâ€" solved. His appointment has been, as might be expected, variously receival by the Conservative party. Some assent, some murmur, and some growl. As for ourselves we regret that a gentleman of Mr. Jackson‘s years should be thus forced by the exigencies of party to leave the quiet of retirement and again embark upon the stormy sea of a political campaign, especially when nothing but certarin shipâ€" wreck and defeat await him. However, the Liberal party should not undervalue any opponent, however weak, or however tarnished his reputation may be. It has very often happened in the history of poliâ€" tics that indifference as to the opposition offered, and negligence in securing n thor ough organization have led, and justly, too, to a humiliating defeat. It behoves our friends, then, to make use of the presâ€" THE M. P.

Let us assume for a moment that by taxing foreign grain or flour we could keap it out of this country, is it posâ€" sible the workingmen of Toronto would ask us to tax the bread they eat. ("No, no.") Yet, sir, that is exactly what the leaders of the Conservative party are asking us to do. They say that if flour was tazed it would raise the price to the miller, but if it did raise the price it would be done at the exâ€" pense of the poor man who has to purâ€" d | With m higher protective tariff .we 8, 'would be placed completely at the morey t |of Messrs.

In the event of not e| being able to obtrin a good article at a o | reasonable price from Mr. Hay, he has the â€" |opportunity, at present, ef purchasing â€"| furniture of American manufacture at â€" | some of the other warerooms in the city ; but with a high protective tariff he is shut 1| up to buying from Mr. Hay inferior goods * | at an exorbitant cost, and this holds good ‘ | not only of furniture and stoves, but of : everything else which is bought and sold. | Take the case of our farmors and graziers. | "Of the animals and their produce," said | Mr. Mackenzio, "we imported last year to { the amount altogether of about six milâ€" |lions and a half in round numbers, while we exported five and a half times the amount we import:d, and showing, also, that almost our whole imports of animals and their products were merely brought into the country for the sake of reâ€"exporâ€" tation at the other end of the country ; and : to let you see how ludicrous is the proposal | to put a protective duty on animals and | ; their products I have but to mention that , while there were exported 159,573 sheep | , last year from Ontario to the United P States we only imported seven sheep altoâ€" ‘: gether from that country. (Laughter.) jf And yet the protectionist wants to tax P these seyen sheep to as great an extent as | * the Americans tax our 159 and odd thousâ€" ands. (Laughter.) This is the way they propose that we should enrich ourselves. t Of agricultural products, that is, grain and breadstuffs generally, we imported last ir yearâ€"and every one will remember that it was a very bad year, that it was one of| q; the worst years we ever lImdâ€"sixteen milâ€"|" lions and a half in round numbers of dol. : lars worth.

To talk sbout returning to a proâ€" ° | tective tariff at the present day, in face of *\ the experienee of England for over a ‘| quarter of a century in favour of Free Trade, and the experience of the United +| States for nearly the fifth of a century | agninst Protection, is so very absurd that ~ |it is difficult to see how any one possessed ‘|of ordinary understanding would ever ~| think of opening his mouth in favour of | such a project. A leading member of the | Conservative party in England, Sir Btafâ€" ‘| ford Northcote, nct long ago said that it ‘| was impossible that any political party eould, at this time of day, in Great Britâ€" ain, advocate a return to the protective policy of trade, which, during its existâ€" ence, had so retarded the prosperity of the | country. And what did that great light ‘|of the Conservative party in Canada, | Dr. Tupper, say not long ago, when a proâ€" | posal was made by the present Governâ€" \| ment to increase the tariff by 24 per cent., | for the purpose of paying off the extravaâ€" | gant and wasteful expenditure of their preâ€" | decessors? Why, that he would "oppose | it, because that it was the thinedge of the wedge of protection which Mr. Macâ€" kenzio was attempting to introduce." What is to be thought, then, of Dr. Tupâ€" per and his friends coming out now so strongly in favour of protection to our struggling industries, as they nre pleased to call our manufacturers. That, as Mr. Mackenzie truly said, it was nothing but an election ery. And it certainly says little for the shrewdness of the manufacâ€" turers to be led by such hypocritical proâ€" fessions, or to suppsse that it is possible for any political party in this country to place «s protective tariffl upon the Statute Book. The regret is that the tariff is too | protective as it is. Why, for every dol | lar‘s worth of goods turned out by the manufacturers, the country pays them 174 | cents of a premium, and still they comâ€"| plain of thoir industries being struggling, and tzeir business ruined. I On this point Mr. Mnckenzie said. n "I recollect that in 1874, when the tariff | | was revised, having repented interviews with many of those manufacturers. They |, wanted a higher duty to save themaseilves|, the trouble of applying their brains to find | , out means of improving the machinery for | 4 the carrying on ot their manufretures, and | 4 they wished for protection to enable them | . to send out what would be an inferior arâ€"| ; ticle at an increased cost to the people.|, Now I say that the position of Mr. Hay | ; and Mr, Gurney and, generally speaking, | , of the manufacturers of the country is pot|, one of isolation from profit. When I finl| that men who commenced lifo much less| ; than half a century ago, now count their| ; gains and their properties by hundreds of | ,, thousands, 1 am slow to believe that the|; business that they have been following is a | , ruinous one."

Txe usual Monthly Fair will be held in this town on Tuesday next. FRosts have been rather severe some mornings since Wednesday, last woek. It will be thus seen that the protection ery of the Tory party is the most absurd and puerile that has ever been ventured upon among an enlightened people. It should not be forgotten that no Laxes are legitimate but "such as aro paid to the State, and that such as nro necessary for the proper administration of public affairs, and that privileges conferred upon any une class of the community at the expense of all others, is yvicious in principle and inâ€" jl;rious to the best interests of the peoâ€" ple. ) OpOPGEn in uin io t ; toon radbianin arinntialh c cA 5A d c 2 000, you will see that to impose such a duty as would prevent the import of salt would only beâ€"ruining one interest by proâ€" moting another interest." ‘|._ And in the matter of coal and salt it is ‘| not otherwise. Of coal, Mr. Mackenzie |saaid "There was. imported 978,692 tons, | valued at $3,660,000. Now, I would like | to know from my friend Mr. Hay if he is | favourable to a tax upon coalâ€"(hear, hear) | â€"if he be'lieveu. or if any one believes, that a tax upon the coal which we uo to light our household fires, to keep our manufacâ€" tories going, and run our railways and stenmers, is likely to benefit the industries of this country. ("No, no.") In addition to this, it is known that coal is a prime necessity for our great railways, therehy facilitating and chenpening the transport: of the productions of the country from the intorior of ‘the senborard, and it would, therefore, in this case, be one of the most serious mistakes that could be mnde to tax this mineral product. _ No, Sir, it is not conternded that it would benefit the counâ€" try, and no Ministry that ever lives will dare to impose‘a tax upon one of the first necessaries of life. (Great cheering.) Anâ€" other principal item is thit of salt. Of that article we imported last year three millions of bushels. Now we have vast deposits of salt in Canads, and it would no doubt be beveficial to the Ontario salt producers to prohibit the importation of salt, which comes to the Maritime Proâ€" vinces almost‘entirely from England. But, on. the ot..er hand, to do this would be to deprive our fishermen ef the means of | cheaply preserving the product of their inâ€" dustry ; and when I say that cur exâ€" ports of fish last year amounted to $5.874,â€" ) | reap the advantage of such prices as could | be imposed by the levying of a duty on | foreign breadstufis. Thaat is that our buyâ€" | ers of bread should be compelled to pay | high prices or starve. Let us shut out these foreign products and get as much as we can, by consuming our own, and that is equivalent to saying that as a matter of public policy it is right to tax the very | bread the poor man eats, the coal he burns, | and the oil he consumes. (Hear, hear.) | I will now give you an extract from a reâ€" | turn which was not published to show what the result of last year‘s harvest | wasâ€"ths first good harvest we have had for some years, though not so productive a one as we expected to reap. For the nine months ending the 81st of March we imâ€" ported altogether $11,074,000 worth of the | products of the farmâ€"that is, of grain and flourâ€"aznd we exported during the same period $20,857,027 worth, or very nearly $10,000,000 naore than we imported. Now, Sir, what was this used for? We importâ€" ed it as a moatter of trade, and that trade gives employment of our vessels and steamships. We have five distinet lines of stoamships sailing from Montreal to the European ports, while the United States, with fortyâ€"eight millions ef people, are able to maintain only one line consisting of but four steamships. (Hear, hear, and loud cheers; A Voice:â€"*"Would a duty stop that trade?"). I hear a gentleman enquire if a duty would stop that trace. Undoubtecly it would. The placing of a duty on grain and flour is much like a man who has made <a road to facilitate travel between the place where ho lives and the town where he does his marketâ€" ing, and then for fear he should get there too easily, after the road is graded and levelled, he goes to work and ¢uts three or four ditches aeross it. (Hear, hear.) These people are afraid that our capitalists who establish the steamship lines which take the products of the Western States through Canada to the ocern should be able to take these products as weli as our own too easily ; and they would have us to place | Custom House officers at Windsor and Sarnia, and on the Welland Canal, and at the outlets to the ocean, who should say to these shippers "You shall not use our aveâ€" nues of trade unless you also use our Cusâ€" tomâ€"houses, and give bonds to us that the vessels will be returned." They would have us place obstacles in the way of a trade that employs thousands of our sailâ€"| ors and artisans every year. No greater !I act of madness could be perpetrated at a || time when we are expending $30,000,000 ‘ ] in perfecting and making complete our|! system of canal navigation, than to go to work and erect a huge fence along our ! boundary line and thus prevent theso forâ€"|] eigners from giving us their trade.

Mr. Bethune fourished in the face of ‘|a Durham audience as a Beaptist Bible." ) While of "Argus," who had affirmed the ;.. same of it he goes on to sayâ€"*"Now since a sense of honour has nut led *Argus‘ to retract what s mUsT navek ®xows To Ravs | BEEX UXTRUX we hurl back his imputation as false and leave the rout SLAXDZR on Lis lips."â€"With a few imore senteuces of i. . creasing denunciation.

"A Baptist" says he heard | the statement made by me, himseilf, which Ibeing :o th3 above SMyle of his will o ol .. Sir,â€"As the subject of the following communication has been treated in the Durham Chronicle by "A Baptist" corresâ€" pondert in a very trinmphant tme and proportionately strong den anciation of your eorrespondent "Argus," as dishonest, with ‘ which also my name is connected, I serd ‘ by this mail a reply to the Chronicle, and | that both sides may see it will thank you l also to give it a place in your columns to an exact copy of it, Aud am, dear Sir, Yours respectfully, J. Berauns. To the Editor of the Durham Chronicle. There is one evil, as we m‘ght expoct, | thit has already; appeared in Canada, arisâ€" : ing from the doetrine of Plymouthism, that | every man as soon as he thinks he is conâ€" | verted has a right to set out at once to | preach without preparation, examination .| ot his fitness, or his being held responsible to any society for his doctrine and conâ€" | duct. In the ardour of excited feeling | and of perhaps slumbcring pride and conâ€" ceit too strong for good order, some young men, who had not been it may be very reâ€" markable for their kobriety, go out to preach. â€" For a time they go about preachâ€" ing and hinting, not obscurely, that the minteters had never explained the Gospel properly to the people. Some of them: soon go back to their sin ngain, like a dog to his vomit, or like a sow tnat is washed, ;‘ to her wallowing in the mire. The others held on, it may be, very consistently for a | longer periodâ€"and people have of them a | good opinionâ€"but they also after a time go back to their old way for a while. They reform and say that they have repented, and within a few weoks after their fall they are preaching away again, as if nothing had happoned. Is that way of working to become the rule? Is it for the good of reâ€" ligion that it should? For the good of the young man therrmselves? Forthe good of the world? We assert strongly that it is burtful all round. Bus that is the | natural ountgrowth of Plyimmouthism, of a church without government. Acecordin a ! to it there is no King in Israel ; but, every | man can do according as he sees right in " his own eyes. Oun Pargs, |‘ To the Editor of the Review ‘ The Revd. Frederick Whitefield, wh>, if we mistake not, was for 12 years one of them, says, "The fact is, no dencons in a dissenting chapel are more exclusive or harder to please than the few ruling Brethren over some of your meetings. It is well known they have to be pleased ; aund the woeuker ones have to carry out the views of this seeret hicrarchy. Liberty to ministers! Yex, if the ruling Bret‘iren have no personal pique or other objections to them. Far rather give me the church that plainly and avowedly places its saperâ€" vision in the hands of bishops and ministers, than this secret consistory that does the same thing, only in a much more arbitrary and dogmatic manner." Rev. Mr. Bethune on the "Baptist New Testament." _ Let us not suppose, however, that Plyâ€" mouthists in getting rid of their Officers have thereby obtuined that commplete freeâ€" dom of individual action that is promised them, and that looks so well at a distance. The truth is that the power exercised by the regular ministry of the Evangelical Churches over tueir congrogntions is easy and light in comparison with the yoke that the ruling brethreu, the leading men Iny by degrees, and without explicit consent, on the shoulders of the people who are less forward, less gifted, or less ambitious of rule. But I do not assume that your readers are in the position that any one need conâ€" vince them that congrogations should be organized and that there should be maon appointed for feachking, ruling and servâ€" ing. Matters are not yet in that pesition among us. But if Plymouthism gets & foothold in Grey, its very first effect will be, to set people ngainst, not ouly the presecrt iministers, for that is a small thing, but against the very ofice of the ministry, which would be amissue extremeâ€" ly disastrous to the cause of religion for years to come. Now, surely it is unnecessary for me to sbow how unscriptural and revolutionary is this position of theirs. Men do not orâ€" ganize even a temperance socicty without appointing officers. A church without officeâ€" benrers regularly elected and installed into office, (which is ordination), is like a counâ€" try without a government, sine loge, sine rege, sine terrore ; is like an army without officers. Chyist took good care to nppoint officers of the church in his day whom He ealled Apostles and evangelists, and these Apostles took good care to appoint offiesâ€" bearers to succeed them, such as pastors, elders and deacons in all the congregations they organized. In my last letter (which, in pasing, let me remark, contained serious typograpliâ€" cal mistikes, corrected, I trust, by your intelligent readers) in that letter one fenâ€" ture only of Plymouthism was tenched on â€"its hostility to an ordained ministry. What is Plymouthism? A CHURCH WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT, LETTER IV. ~Â¥ ot54 SNW pariv is folf Great excitement has been caused in i. Mary‘s by the poisoning of a young man numed lobert Guost.
