What â€"may be the effect of his sz l end upon the public mind 0‘ t‘ie whole civilized worldâ€"* what its influence in bfingin; detestation »pon the very name which this conspiracy Lears, ‘ may »â€"well be imagined. That name will cease to be uttered except with horrur of the ‘ villainy it has so long corered. Men will stand alooffrum this society as from an vne!sin thing; and thus, as it was sad by the Hon. Mr. Crarvear, it destroyed itself ‘in destroy= tirg its most formidable opposent. The cause of the martyr never tails to trirumph when it is the eause of right apd truth ; and never was purpose more truly patriotic than that of MÂ¥r. McGez in laboring to sure, his country } men from the trammela of tle Fenian con‘ the House of Commons gave vent to the feelings so natural to themselves, and so highly honorable to the mentrory of the late‘ Mr. McGes. But in the nundst of the horâ€" rar and congternation, there was one ilea. of luty and re«ponsibility which appeared to have instinctively arisen â€"in the minds "of every member of the Commons, and which will, we are sure, be heartily apprecizted by | the publiscâ€"that the family of the deceased shoul1 be cared for by the country. _ It was no time for Ministers to have setiled the preâ€" ase mode by which this shall be done; it was enough that the announcement should hare been made from the Treasury Benches and endorsed by the other side of the House» w eatiâ€"ty the public empectation upon this. puintâ€"one which touches so nearly the honor of the country. s The profound impression madé upon the public mind by the horrible event of Tuesâ€" day morning was guch as has seldom been exceaded anywhere, and ‘never, perhaps»,. vetore equulled in this country. Men‘s minds _ were staggered by _the aud denness _ of the calamity, nfl it was with an effort that Mimsters and others in angs should be forgotien or disrezarded, becuuse their great master and expounder can ‘ no . longer ~give . them a living expression, â€" It is thus that the â€"memory of McGxre should be cherished by applying the pridciples ‘which he.taught,; by. maintaining the unity of freling which he did so much to foster, and in scine instanees even to create, by extending o public men that â€" measure of @mblence‘ so necessary to the faithfal disâ€" charge of their Juues, an\ «zacting of them a blind devotfon tothe mere popular whim £hc hour, but a steady persistence in that ‘tous and liberal pulicy on which the toundation of our new Gorernment has been ‘Juid.. It is impossibie to think of Mr. M«\se without associating with his memory the greut work ol Contederation,, a work which is to him, as it is to the other distinguished statesmen . who bore a part in it« .oéump!mhmut, a â€" monument. . which will â€"endure so long as the wislom of its tounder« is cherished as the guiding princi ple of tic public ini~d4. | Itis whies the teachâ€" er in gone :bat we should reflect more seriou« ly on the lesson, and as the part which Mr. McGas filled in public life is now a dreary . Llank, anu its: responsibilies distribyted among those who are left, it becomes more than ever necessary that all classes should remember their reaponsibilines towands each other, and; if possible, draw closer the bonds of amity between them.

A letter which . wis published in pamphi«t form by gome of his triends in London, â€" That letter indicated a zeason. why he should come to Canaca, and the principles it sets forth are consistent with his whole life since."

But that was his fimdfi.il’e, and that allisnce would bave been that which best accorded with the views be wrote Mr. Doffy,. It followed in the hatural course of events. And here, as pointing a fact it may not be icaproper to say, that the first personal friendship between him and the writer of this arose from a frank notice in the Gazeue, of a Consetrvative toned lecture of Mr. McGee, while he was a membe: of a Goyvemnâ€" ment to which it was sufliciently Wongly opâ€" posed. . ‘The incident shoiwed that a strife of party perbaps unnecessarily bitter, could nout prevent the recognition of common sentiments. His regular alliance â€"with the party to which he afterwards belonged followed shortly after, upon an overture made him by Sir John A.
