If it was he will h:smnhed by his party and his country ; if it not he must expect to reteive the justiy merited reproach of both. The day is gone by, if it ever existed, when any one man can lead Reformers whithsocver he pleases regardless of any interests or feelâ€" ings but his own. But in the time that must elapse before official revelations are made of the canse of dissension, hww w;“lo judge of the merits of the case ? @ see but one way, but that nfwfll be.satisfactory to a vast maâ€" jority of Reformers. In.the ‘absence of any direct information, wecan only judgo whether Mr. Brown is right or ymm by watching the tvourse that Mr. Howland takes. The dispute in the Cabinet it is now wellknown arose on & matter of commercial policy, ‘ On such a mat. ter there are few who know the men but will give Mr. Howland the credit of heing as capaâ€" :vlc of forming a correct jm{gncn;(:- ln.,ny man n Canada, not excé either . Brown or Mr. Galt, In ;‘nrmnowledsu of the ao. tual working of commercial matters, and in intimate and personal acquaintance with the wants of the Province, he is in fact the supe ofboth. If, then, it be found that Mr. How in combination with the re-.ln:fg nine memâ€" bers of the Cabinet, has taken strong grounds ngninst Mr. Brown, and if it be found that afâ€" ter consultation with hls friends in Western Canada he retains the same view, we can see no way of resisting the conclusion that Mr. Brown is very much in ‘the wrong, &nd Mr. Howland in the right. . The fact‘that after hating been for some days in Toronto he sought to obtain Mr.. McKenzie‘s consent to enter the Adminis tration, shows that hi consultation with his friends has not matcrially altered Mr. Howâ€" land‘s views of the correctness of the position he has taken, ‘That he met with a refusal may appear ominous, but the remembrance of the gn«sml influence Mr.. Brown has over Mr. cKenzie may perhaps account for it. There are others who may yet be approached; and if we find that Mr. How!lsnd, in no waydaunted by the desertion of Mr. Brown and the refusal of Mr. McKenzie, proceeds to fill the vacant s<at, we may rest assured that he. has a strong consciousness of being right, and from his well known ability in matters of trade and comâ€" at the truth that if (Mr.â€" Howland‘s conviction of being right is so strong we cannot go farastmy if we follow his lead. We have for the present to act 4n, the . dark, and in so doing all we can detect is the figures of two* men, Messrs. .Brownm‘and Howland, moving in oppositc directions. Of the two, we think that, under. present circumstances, and upon the question in dispute, Mr. Howâ€" land is the safer guide. Were it a purely poâ€" litical question that was at issue, Mr. Brown would be the mose likely to be right, but in one that, so tur as can be judged, is purely cotmumercial, common sense dictates that he who stands highest as a commercial man should be looked u&on as the safest leader. Looking ttpon Mr. Howland then as the best judge of the policy that should be adopted with regard to Reciprocity /w will in the abâ€" sense of more definite information, feel comâ€" pelled to hoild that if he looks upon the point of dispute that arose in the Cabinet as not being of sufficient importance to justify him in abandoning the Government, he should, in acting upon this conviction, be ~sustained by his party. The stake at issue is too serious a one to permit of any unnecessary cofentricities being indulged in,‘und,. uglt-'q. _it be qle,rly Had, we chosen the sauce oursclves we doubt if we could have selected anything more directly palatable to.the Conseryative tasteâ€" piquant, pungent anil appctizing, a mixture of rare ingredients that make the renowned Worcestershire, Reading and Anchovey flat stale and tame, _ Talk of Epicurean tastes, why our skilled friend of the Evening Times is qualified to grill "deviled drumsticks" for the Carlton ; let him be assured he is hiding his candle under a bushel by remaining in & fat weeterd city. when all Pall Mall would vig in an ovation to one who could serve up des reliefs witWsuch artistic excellence. _ Portunately for provincialists,attainments like his are rare, or our weak stomachs would s from surâ€" feit. | But we are allowing 'on?zl:ghu to be carrieb <away . by â€" the/ . titilation _ of our appetite, and we are neglectiny the entremets. We hand them round : merce, has caution and deliberativeness in acting, and the evident care and anxiety he is exhibiting in his movements to avoid taking a false step, we may accept it as a good gness smown that there exists wufficicht reasous for a case we would have abandoned everything distinctive of "our party for the sake of Conâ€" federation, \nd then â€"by abandoning Confederâ€" ation on the eve of its triumph would ‘have deâ€" g;ived ourselves of all politicals prestige, ith an allowable parody on Job‘s words we wohild be compelied to say, " naked we went into the Coalition, and naked we come out again." Inthe other case, we would have abandâ€" doned much for Corifederation, and then by our withdrawal of support would have secured the defeat of Confederation also, It is quite eviâ€" dent : then that nothing but a matter of the most vital importance should induce Reformâ€" ers at the present juncture to abandon the work they have taken in handâ€"we my,:{ that nothing inferior in importance to Confedâ€" eration itself should so operate as to make us now abandon an object for the sake of attainâ€" ing which we have abandoned so much that has been of value to us as a party. For the Reform section of the Ministry | to do so would subject them in the future to a*ne of two fatal cHarges, â€" If, after their withdrawâ€" al from the: coalition, Confederation should be pressed * to a triumphant issue, it would; be justly said of the Reformers that in this sucâ€" cess they bad no shareâ€"that they bad abanâ€" doned the active workers for Confederation before its trinmph had been achieved, and that consequently &il the honor of the achicveâ€" ment belonged to tlie Conservative party. Thus, after ‘ having nw:rwnu the . necessary sactrifices, we would, in very hour of vicâ€" tory, be so supremely fooligh as to abandon to our political opponents ail the honeors, to a large share of which we are justly entitled. If, on the other hand, the -i&dr,ml of the Reform section ‘should, as it undoubtedly would, so far weaken the Cabinet as to rob it of the strength requisite for carrying out Conâ€" federation, we would be justlyichargeable with having frustrated a great national movement, after having supported it up to the very point of success. Either of these charges would be fatal to the Reformers as a party ; in the one Up to the time of Mr. Brown‘s resignation, the utmost unanimiily was displayed, and it requirâ€" ed hbut a littie more exertion to enable the Coalition to hail the completion of its work, arnid receive the congratulationsâ€"of the country on the patriotism that had laid aside party difâ€" ferences and personal animosities, for the purâ€" pose of carry ing out to completion a d naâ€" tional motement. When so, much mbwn temporarily sactificed for the attainment of this object, when the: leaders of antagonistic parties had worked together harmoniously, for so long a time, ‘and when the project had been soâ€" far ‘advanced as to be just on the point of consumimoation, it was justly: expected that unâ€" luss tor the very gravest of reagons no man en gaged in it would abandon t;‘:vT work. The fire appears to be & lht{-fléme at this point of the broiling ; the gridigon upon which our couk has placed the "ttipe" is getting rédâ€"hot.

THE OTTAWA ‘TIMES.â€"JANIARY state that Sir W. Logan, Dr. Van Courtland and other scientific gentlemen are said to have gxâ€" pressed their opinfon that petroleum was to be found in the Ottaws region, adding at the same time, that they were unable to say whether it cxisted in paying quantities or not. Furthermore, knowing ones in North Gower, and other places in Carleton where wolls have lwen, or â€"are about to be .sunk,‘ have acâ€" quired ,a strong faith in ‘the oilâ€"bearing qualitics . of the district from such surface indication as an oily scum on creeks, streams, and »drinkingâ€"wells, with occasional bubbles ‘and "blotches" on the water, of a deâ€" cidedly greasy nature, and of acolor resemâ€" bling that assumed by ofl in contact with the aqueous fluid. : These, with the indications afforded by > disagreeable odours, in like cifâ€" cumstances, have carried conviction to the minds of many persons living in the County of Carleton, and have been instrumental in exciting an interest,on â€"the part of strangers, on the gubject of oil discoveries in this section. The first appearances which led to any definite action in the matter were certain remarked in the Township of North Gower, at a place about 25 miles from Ottawa City, in August last. Those indications were: perceived in . a well belonging to ‘Mr. Barr, in the village of North Gower. ‘The water was discovered to be oily, and though it was bailed out two or three times the succeeding flow presented the sameâ€"4inusual appearance. Shavings were now thrown into the wator, and they absorbed such a quantity of the oily matter on the surface, as to burn, when a > light wns applied. It now became evident, at least toâ€" those the County of Carleton, on account of the beâ€" lief, whether well founded or not, that petroâ€" leum exists in the section in larger or smaller quantities. It were folly to deny that upon this subject there has been considerable differ» ence of opinion, some arguing that: there is‘ nothing to:skew that oil may not be found in the Ottawa vallcy as well as in the London district, while others poohâ€"pooh the prospect of discovering the "attractive" fluid hereabout, regarding its cxistence in. the geologieal sys tem ofthe Ottaws as extremely problemnatical, ifnotimpossible. Without entering into the sci« entific branch of the argument we may briefly them promptly. He ‘understood, with surâ€" prise, that some of the . malcontents ~were swayed by questions of religion. ‘This was to be regretted ; for his part he had neverâ€"and he defied proof of the contraryâ€"made any disâ€" tinction between persons of a faith different from his own, in ariy of his proceedings, (Apâ€" plause.) ‘The other retiring members made ‘whort speeches in a similar »strain, and, like Mr. Cowan, stated they had ende@vored faithâ€" fully to discharge their duty ; that they were not very anxious to serve longer, but would do so if reâ€"elected, and that if the electors were dissatisfied with their past conduct, and thoughit they could fird better men . now was the time to say so by their votes. The new candidates proposed also ‘addressed the electors, stating, in substance, that they hid no fault to find with the late members, but that having been hominated themselves withâ€" out any solicitation on their part, they â€"would, if elected, endeavor to: serve the poople in a satisfactory manner. f For some time past considerable sttention has been directed to this district, particularly Somie questions respecting delay in entering upon certain road repairs, etc., were put and answered in a manner satifying almost every one present. ‘The polling was then quictly entcred upon with the above result.

Duxcax Sixncram trating power of an instrument of the weight ‘of more than nine cwt. falling continuously on a given spot, from a height of 15 inches, may be sasily imagined ; but with all the force of the shock, it often occurs, owing to the hiardness of some rocks, that not twelve inches of progress can be made in as‘ many hours, Still, however, the Company havé determined to persevere, and a contract for sinking the well 750 feet has been given out by: Mr. Read. The average distance sunk per day has been ten feet, apd it is expected in twonty days from the recommengement next Thursday that ail will .be struck, or, at least, ‘the boring pushed forward to a point sufficient to settle the question of oil or no oil in North Gower. ‘Mr, . Woollsey has gone to Montreal to procure tubing . for pumpâ€" ing purposes. The Company anticipate that, as soon as the sand and water which now partially choke up the well, are drawn up, oil in more or less quantity will be obtained. Mr. Woolley has offered Mr. Craig $10,000 for his farm of 220 acregâ€"a splendid property if the immediate vicinity of the above well. The farm is all cleared, except 50 acres. The etmâ€" ployces atithe well‘areâ€"Chas. Thom ‘and "A1â€" bert Beach, Engincers, W. McNeish and Wm. Glazicr, drillâ€"men. W6 were ‘told that all are stock of the concern. It may be gbserved in conclusion that; while it is not surprising tho y : should mw R confidence in the carly discovery of Noz Gower, andâ€" North Augusta, the â€"inbabitants also participate in the feeling, being, if posâ€" wible, more sanguiné of the success of the preâ€" sent boring operations. The district between Ottawa and North Gower is a rolling country, verty favorable for agricultural purposes. <The Gower, and the other places is being done. unâ€" der the constant personal supervision of this gentleman and Mr; A. Woolley, another of the Trustees,. Our Reporter paid a visit to the North Gower Well, in company with his eom FSréresyOf the City Pross, on Now . Years Day, and learned from actual observation and en« quiry on the spot, the facts felated below. This well is on the farm of Mr. Jas. Craig, No. 20, Fourth Concession,. bounded on one side by the Marlborough Road, being, in fact in the centre of the village and within .a stonc‘s throw of the rear of Mr. Johnstone‘s excellent the rock, having passed, for the first 27 feet, ‘through soft, oily clay, and for the remainâ€" ing 12 through bouilders,quicks sand and graâ€" .vel mingled indiscriminately, The borer next tame upon a rock about four fect: thick.of the hature of lime or shale, and dark bule. . The next twelve feet of the descent wasâ€" through a sandstone of dark grey color ; then four feet of rock, somewhat of the same kind, and supâ€" posed to be slatey, was met. After that the drill penetrated two strata of sandstonc, of different golors, one being a hard and the other a soft rock. _ About two weeks ago the borer strugk m bed of blue sandstonc, four feet thick, at & depth of 120 feet. Here the sand or sediment brought up was impregâ€" nated; | The next stratum of rock was a whitâ€" ish, . hard = sandstone â€" twelve fect . in thicknoss with petroleum or rock _ oil. which the borer pulverised to a remarkable fineness, +A crevice in the rock, about six inches deep, was then reached ; and after the sandâ€"pump had been brought into requsition, an unmistakable odor of petroloum was manifested. The men were unable to draw ‘up any of the sand owing to its being carried away by some undercurrent, probably a spring of water, ‘The drill dropped down six inches at this point, sghowing that there must have been a fracture of the rock or crevice of some kind. The nexBobstacle met with was & black or dark biue sandstone or limestone of exceeding hardâ€" ness. On Friday last, and when the borer had penetrated it to a depth of four feet, the rim» mer, a drilling tool worked like an auger, and used in rounding the hole, to admit the tube in which the pump is tp work became damaged, and, as it could nei&p"a Tepaired, nor reâ€" placed by a new one‘ immediately, operations were neccssarily brought to an end for some d-;a. A message was mp to Ogdensburgh to procure a new rimther, A:i, as the holidays were drawing nigh, the workmen living at a distance were allowed to return to their families till matters were put to right. The v:kxll to be resuméd on ‘Thursday, next. | Theâ€"maâ€" chinery is very simple, being that used everyâ€" where at present in boring for oil. The engine, «n eightâ€"horse ppwer, is fitted up with a tuassive wooden walkingâ€"beam, at the end of which, projecting right over the well is fastened the drill, or borer, an ifon rod thirty.nine feet long, chiselâ€"shaped at the penctrating end, and two a half inches in diamecter, weighing nine ewt., There is g derrick erected over the well, fortyâ€"seven foet high, the machinery being sheltered by a wooden shed, The derrick, of course, is an indispensable portion of the working machinery, furnishing the means for lowering the borer toany required depth, hoistâ€" ing it up again, and pumping up the sand and so forth . _ Whien the well exceeds in depth the length of the borerâ€"which in this case is but forty.three feetâ€"tho upper end is fastened to a strong rope which passes over a pulley fixed in the derrick, and is coiled round a sort of windlass cylinder, . When the cngine works the drill is lifted about fifteen fuches, and let drop in the same way as a " jumper" perforates & rock with, his cmq-lnf. We should have explained that by the Sborer" mentioned above, we mean both the fron rod or shaft, 39 feet long, and the drill a picce: of metal, steelâ€" pointed and chiselâ€"shaped, about four feet‘ in length, which is screwed on to the lower end. As the borer descends, it must have rope,; and by means of a scrow or swivel, worked by hand, and attached to the rope someo: feet above the ground, more "line." is paid out. ‘The peneâ€" conmmnenced in October last, On descending thirty feet through clay, gravel, etc., the workâ€" men struck the first stratum of rock, shortly after which the banks caved in, when, it â€"was found necessary to fill up the well and begin a new one.â€" The men then proceeded to sink the present‘well, using from the first the auger as done in Pennsylvania and Canada West. After penetrating 39 feet the drillâ€" smote ported that the indications shown them were wiffuistakably those of rock oil. Mr. J. K. Read having heard of the matter, also visited the nd'hbn'ood,» wad, after ‘an ,cxfllill?x of the indfeation#, and the spots where they were found, and so forth, proposed to the farmâ€" ers to lease their land, in order to the formaâ€" tion of a companyy‘to seek for oil.. A mocting of the agriculturists of the neighborhood was held? at which it \was agreed to lease their farms for the purposé, on condition of receiv. ing oncâ€"Ef€teenth of all the oil found on their respective properties. Mr. Read, in conjuncâ€" tion with other gentlemen, then organized the Central Canada Oil Company,respecting whosé personnel, proceedings and objects we have given, of late, all the information at our comâ€" mand, . We may merely repeat that Mr. J, K. hotel. : The work of sinking the <first well Read is the entorprising Superintcndent of the Company, and that the boring at North prescnt, that they.â€"were in the imincâ€" diate ncighborhood : of a petroleum spring, which inducéd them to send a quantity of tho «oily water," etc., to Toronto and .Ogdonsâ€" burgh for analysis, â€" The result was & favor. able report in regard to the existence of Petuo!â€" eum in North Gower.
