Ws notice by the Domsnion, published at Windsor, that Mesers. O‘Coxxo® and W10LE, the Canmiian and Local representatives of * County of E«sex, were last week the reâ€" c;gicnu of a public entertainment from a large number cf their constisaents. Mr. O‘Coxxu® spoke for about an hour reviewing the "situation,"" and concluding, after baving touched upon most of the leading political isâ€" sues that our country was on the high road to permanent * consolidation under our new Constitution, with a bright prospect of furure prosperity. Mr. Wicus, the Local Member, also made a speech of considerable lengih, and appropriate to the occasion. These gentlemen both appear to have succeeded admvirably in pleasing their constituests, ansd we may say of Mr. O‘Coxxor, that his course, while attending Parliament here, was such as ought to command the confidence of Liberal Conservatives, of whom, we believe, his constituents are in great part composed.

It might be hoped for their sakes that the day of their favour in the eyes of the press, and their espousal by public men, was yet in store for them. If the Chronicle is to be credited, they have no such prospect. Here is its definition of the two parties, with its opinion of their merits, in a few sentences : ChcOttawaCimes Tuz Halifax Chronicle has unearthed two new political parties. The existence of these new-par\’&l':‘:,‘heretofon, according to this authority, ted but little attention fromr"the "press ard public men,‘"‘ from which the inference woul.d apparently be sate that neither of them embraces within its ranks aoy considerable number of these two, presumediy, influential classes. _ But they are of " new growth," and perhaps the journalists and politicians of Nova Scotia, so busily engaged in fighting out what is now a Hes Ma«sty tus Quses bas been pleased to c nfer upon Majorâ€"General DovLs, Lieut.â€" Governor of Nova Scotia, the utle of Knight Commander of the Onler of St. Michael and St. Geurge.

Lttcarizip. ces " ce * The one party desires ardently the erecâ€" tion into an independent State ot the British North American Colonies, with a view of perâ€" manently maintainiog independence; while the other desires the political union of the same Provinces, that in a time a united, vigourâ€" ous and irresistible effort may lift us into the American Union. Those parties have been growing rapidiy, for they bave had their root in the fertile soil of the evils incident to our condition, and unless their growth be checked they will becoms= huge enough to throw a blighting shadow over the prosperity of this country, while they will themselves be useâ€" less, ansavoury and unsightly." â€" It is clear from the above that neither one of these parties embraces the Union partyâ€" the supporters of Coufederationâ€"in Nova Seotiax;, for that party‘s battle cry has been union of the colouies under the British Crown, which olcot,;ne preciudes its being embraced within the party first above described. The second partyâ€"still with union of the colonies, Whence then have these two " new parties‘‘ . which the Chronicle has discovered, been recruited? . Clearly from among the Repealâ€" ers. Those, or at least many of those, who supported the repeal movement, never ceased to express their approval of some form of Colonial Union; and many of them have béen rather outspoken in favour.of annexaâ€", tion. It is fair to conclude, theretore, that our contemporary‘s definitions describe but some new phases of a certain section of the. "repealâ€"mind ‘‘ (if we may use the phrase) of Nora Scotia: _ Whether the object of seeking to disconnect the British American Provinces from the Empire be to establish ** permanent independence,"" or annexation to the United States, is a matter of very little concern in the present state of the question. The platform of all British American Conâ€" federationists is U nion of the Colonmesâ€"U nion with Great Britain. The same Crown, the same fountain of honour, the same source of executivre power with the whole Empire ; asd our own distinctive _ Legislative functions as conferred upon us by the British America Act, leare no more room in the breast of an bobes, man to desire * national independence" than annexation. : among its *desires"â€"looks forward to Afâ€" nexation with the American Republic. With this party also it is out of the question to seek to identify the supporters of our present Union, because it was sought, has been adâ€" vocated, and :s now maintained, by them, avowedly as a meansâ€"some say the only meansâ€"of avoiding Annexation. uy Since it is evidently from the ranks of the Chronicle‘s own friends, that these two parâ€" ties, between whom there is a distinction with scarce a aifferenceâ€"the " independent" idea being the leading one in /uoth-â€"are beinog recruited, we rejorice to find that our contemporary visite both with its unqualified denunociation. ~Having "their root in the * fertile soil of the : evils incident‘‘ to Nova Scota‘s " condition," is a plain confession from the Chronicle that these rank weeds in the political garden have all been confined. to the repeal patch, for only thence have we heard of the grievous burthen of Nova Scoâ€" ta‘s political ills ; and, therefore, we admire" the courage of the Chronicle in speaking so plainly to its fmends. To say that those who have heretotore been politically fair to look upon and exceedingly agreeatle in helping on tue repeal movement, should. henceforth be * useless, unsavoury, and unsightly,"" is to eon‘ess a very wonderful falling off indeed, especially when with this unseemly change is coupled the fatal poweg of throwing «"a * blighting shadow over the country," it only these unsightly perverts become "fruge tyâ€"For Ottawa Markets see Fourth TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1868 te:tainmew NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

GA enough"â€"which the fates forbid. y The Chronicle denounces the project of an ‘*independent{British Americaâ€"a Republic " or a monarchy‘‘â€"â€"and of those who seek * Annexation <through |Union," it has " nothing favourable to say." â€" This is so far satisfactory. â€" But we should have valued the information much more had the Chronicle told us what it has to say of the party who seeks Annexation as a means of escape from Unios. Upon that point the great organ of the Repealers is silent. â€" How is this? Does it object oaly to the means while approving the end ? Its remarks are suspiciously open to such a construction, for it does not say a word against Annexation, per se, but it goes into an elaborate argument to prove that Anâ€" nexation to the American Republic cannot be gained by maintaining Union, and that after long years of struggle Nova Scotia would " find in the end, perhaps, no real relief." No real relief eh? Aund does the Chronicle then desire to persuade its readers ‘ that Annexation would be @"real reâ€" lief ?"" If so, such a puling, cowardly sypstem _ of _ advocating . its® sentiments is not likely to command much respect from a highâ€"spirited people, such as it has, truly» ‘ no doubt, represented the Nova Scotians to It is evident that the Chromicle feels the repeal platform getting unwontedly shaky. Win‘e it says there should only be the party of repeal in Nova Seota, it acknowledges in so many words that * there are backsliding "antiâ€"Unionists‘‘ in\Qoth the new parties it has «Tected to discovery O1 these parties it talks not a little no§nse, for while in the first paragraph, reveaWhg their discovery, it says they ** bave been torced into existence Not being favoured with an exchange from Le Journal de Quebec, we are unaware of any attention which the contributors to that jourâ€" nal may bestow upon us unless at secondâ€" hand. , In yesterday‘s Montreal Gazef/e apâ€" pears a letter from " Rusticus," from which we gather that our mild remonstrance againet the si‘ly assumption of the title of " Parlhaâ€" ment‘‘ by the Local Legislative bodies has come under the condemnation of Le Journal. The argument of our Quebec contemporary is so well and fully met by the Gazelte‘s correspondent, and there are so many points in lus letter worthy the attention of the members of the Legislative Assemblies of both Provinces, that we cannot do better than reproduce it : s To the Editor of the Gazette. " within the past seven or eight months,"" it says, further on, that " the second party *« consists of Annexationists who, under the " guise ot loyaity, laboured to perfect the "* Union .of the Provinces, because in it © they thought they saw the shortest road to " the goal they sought." _ Now, how. could a party, ""seven or eight months old,"" be amenable to such an accusation ? Of one thing the CAronicle may rest asâ€" sured. If it can discover new parties growâ€" ing up around it, it is only because some of the old ones are going to wreck, and from certain suggestive incidents of which the Chronicle itselt has pretty full knowledge, we should fancy that it can have little difficulty in distinguishing to which ot the old parties the material composing the new ones formerly belonged. se Frox a number of the Cariboo Sentinel which has just reached us, we learn that an election has been hela in Barkerville for the representation of the Cariboo district in the Legislative Council of British Columbia. Several candidates were nominated, but all having declined the proffered honour Iuve Dr, Carrirt, that gentleman was declared elected by acclamation. The pol:tical aims of the people of Cariboo may be gathered from the Doctor‘s speech, which we subjoin as reported in the Sentinel. It will be noticed with pleasure by our readâ€" lero that Confederation is the leading idea lamongst our brethren beyond the Rocky ) Mountains. The formal proceedings of the { election being completed, the Sentinel says : S â€"I see that Le Journal de Quebec, ctitiâ€" cising the Ottawa Tiuss, argues that the disâ€" tinction drawn between the " Legislature and Parliament" is merely fancifal, seeing that Parliament is a legislatureâ€"both are legislaâ€" tive bodies. As well say the difterence between a Duke and a Baron does not exist, because both are peers of the realm; that there is no difference between a Warden and Mayor, beâ€" caise‘ both are municipal officers; no differâ€" ence between & Negro and a Circassiaun, becaus : both are men; no differenceâ€".between a lion and a cat, bâ€"cause both are animals of prey ; no differerce between the Roman Catholic Church, the Greek and the Anglican, because all are Christian bodies. Such an argument is puerile, and unworthy of the strong sense of the editor of Le Journal. Let us take another case more immediately germane to the case ; In the United States the Federal Legislature is styledq a Congtess, and no member of that body thinks of designating himself as a member of the Legislature. The State Legislative bodies are known everyâ€" where as State Legislatures, and any member of one of them calling himself a member of Congress would be looked upon as an impostet . Our coustitution creates, as a sort of equivalent to Congress, a Federal Legislature called a Parliament. To distinguish them from this Fedcral body the Legislative bodies of Proâ€" vinces are called, as in the United States, Legislatures. â€" Theâ€"e titles are granted by law and defined by law. It is as much an imâ€" posture to call one of them a Parliament, or a member of one of th=em a member of Parliaâ€" ment, as in the Unitâ€"d States it would be to call a member of a State Legislature a member of Congress. No one ventures on such humbug there. Why should we do so here? No Governor of a State would think of calling its Legislature © the Congress or Legislature," as the Government of Quebec calls its Legislative body " the Parliament or Legisiature " in sumâ€" moning it. There is no such flunkeyism there â€"no such silly pretâ€"nsion to be what they are not. Â¥et the State Legislatures hare larger powers than have those of our Proâ€" vinces. .. " Dr. Carrall, having been loudly called on, said that it wou‘!d be folly in him to say he did not highly value the honour conterrud on him by placing him in bis present position. This was the proudest moment of his life. â€"He felt proud to think that he had so far merited the esteem of the electors of Cariboo as to be returned as their representative, but he hoped they would not forget the peculiar character of the body of which he was about to become a member, where, though he might endeavour to carry out particular views, he would be comparatively powerless if those views were obnorious to the Government. It would be ridiculous in him to say that he would carry any pairticular mâ€"asure, so he would briefly give his opinions on afew subjects. The minâ€" ing laws doubtless needed some improve= ments and modifications. There were. amâ€" \.i%nous clauses which should be simplified andt_,amended, and he would ask the miners to a&c him their cordial assistance towards carrying out these amendments. If they would take the matter into consideration and let him know what really should be done in their opinion, he would bring the subject before the (Gpvernment, and do his best to have their suggestfons carried into effect. With regard to taxation, it was universally admitâ€" ted that the expenditure of the colony was excessive ; he had not sufficiently studied the subject to be able to say how the burden 'shog_ld be distributed in raising the revenue legitimately required,but when the estimates Yours, &c., RUSTICUS. were brought before the House ho cwould adâ€" vocate retrenchment in every possible way. e was strongly in favour of a system of nonâ€" sectarian free school education ; and "Aithough the mincrs of Cariboo in general h«d no. youthful families.to provide for, he knew they would cheerfully assist in properly educating the rising generation of all parts of the colony. ‘ He would further say that while he was not now prepared to detine his future course in matters of detail, his great object in becoming . a member of the Counvil was to advocate, and | if possible expedite, tho Confederation of. British Columtia with the Dominior: of Caâ€" nada ; not that be pretended that Confederaâ€". tion would be an immediate cure for ali the ills of this colony, but it would certainly be bencficial and tend to our social and political advancement, As an ardent lover of the glorious freedom of the British Government and its institutions, he wished to see all the inhabitants of British North ‘Amcrica sink their |. politicalâ€" jealousies and prejudices: and unite heart and hand in forming one grand Dominion under one Governâ€" ment, with one tariff, one name and ons common interest for the mutual welfare of each other,. â€"Let the distinctive names of Nova Scotians, Columbians, or other appellations, be dropped ; let Canatians ceass to sneer at Englishmen, and Engliskmen at Canadians;; and it all only work cordially together in deâ€" veloping the resourees of the young nation they will seon be proud to boast of being British subjects bailing from the Dominion ’of Canada. _ To forward to the utmost this grand scheme was his idea in now accepting the honour conterred on him. He might perâ€" haps not be ables to do much, but he assuredly would do all in his power.â€" In conclusion, he would siy that he heartily thanked his conâ€" stituctits tor the confidence they hqd reposed in him, and he trusted that they W\l\lld assist him by giving him their opinion oX mining laws, taxation, read tolls and other subjects likely to come before the Council. HMs was naturally of a sanguine and impet ous temâ€" | perament and would probably commit eriors of judgment, but he hoped they would do him the credit of admitting that his heart was true and his intentions straightforward, and he would assure them that he would do his best to carry out their wishes. " Dr, Carrall resumed his seat amid loud ppplausc,’and‘god’]givi'ng three cheets‘ for the Queen the mecéing separated, all apparentâ€" ly well pleased with the resuit of the day‘s I proceedings." 7‘ us Montres1 Gazette scores one against the Tofouto Globe atter the following fashion : 4 The Toronto (FHole fairly enough criticises Mr. Howe respecting his recent attack on some of the newspaper men of Halifax. It says :â€"‘ While Mr. Howe is right in his main. argument, he is unfortunats in one or two minor points, It is surprising thut he should attempt, as repeatedly dons, to hold the Local Govekgment responsible for the tone of the papers sypporting it. As an old jdurnalist, Mr. Howe should be the last to promulgate such a dqctrine. Itis true that the three antiâ€"union papers in Halifax receive patronage from the Local Government and Legislature ; but that certainly does not give the members of the Government a right to dictate the policy to be advocated by those papers, or to insist that they shall publfsh nothing, even in the way of correspondenceâ€" for it is chiefly of correspondence (that Mr. Howe complainsâ€"which may be in any deâ€" gree uncomplimentary to that gentleman. That would be to put the newspapers concernâ€" ed in a degrading positionâ€"in a position which â€" no respectable journal could holdâ€" and would establish a relationship between the press and the Government which no honest Government could afford to maintain.‘ This is wise, sound doctrine, which on Toâ€" ronto contemporary should print in large type and put up in its own editorial senctum, to be read over whenever its conductors are inclined to attack another newspaper man in Ontario or Quebec. Surely their professional confreres in these Frovinces are as immaculate as those in Halifax? Is it * distance lends enchantment to the view ?" Or; can our conâ€" temporary afford to deal fairly with Nova Scotian papers only." â€"â€"Sir George E.

He had been ill about a year, and a visit which he made to the Southern States last summer with his father, the lat@ Chief Justice, did him zo permanent good. Judge Draper, we believe, achieved professional distinction as an author of works on practice at a very early period of his.career. As an advocate he won confidence, and as a judge he gained esteem. As a citizen he bas been universally liked, and regret for his loss will be deeply felt Ly.those who knew his estimable qualities. It was in his nature to be intensely patriotic. When the clond ‘of war lowered over Canada in the last crisis of international difficulty, Judge Draper took part among the foremost in ensouraging and directing the patriotic flame that kindled then, and up to the latest days of his activity he continued to takea lively interest in the volunteer movement and the rifle association movement, which gained new life in the exiâ€" gencies of that critical period.â€"Leader. â€"For a %oice selection of New Ta;l»estry, Brusgells; Kidderminster and Imperial 3â€" Car;z:s, Cocoa Matting, Floor O‘l Clutll,x?,' Hearth Rugs, Crumb Cloths and Door Mats; Damasks, Repps, Curtain Trimmings, Lace and Muslin Curtains, go to Magee & Russell‘s new Store, next door to Mr. John Leslie‘s, Sparksâ€"st. ~_PTHK OTrAWA TIMKS, DECEMBER 29._ Oflicers of Dorie Lodge No. 58, G.B.C., installed 2§th December, 1868, at 12 o‘clock noon, (fer the year 1869) : Wor.

Reapiscs ar St. Ausaxs.â€"The readings at St. Alban‘s last night were very successful, and passed offin a most agrecable manner. The music also was very good. There was no cause to complain of the disorderly boys who bhave on some former occasions disturbed the readings ; they were cither absent or have learned better manners. Let us hope the latter. * Muxiciram Enzecrionâ€"Weruxarox Warp.â€" The election to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Alderman Hunter took place yesterday in the Engine School House. Mr. Charles Magee moved, seconded by Mr. Edward Perkins, that Charles T. Bate, Esq., is a fit and proper personto be elected as alderman for Wellington Ward. Only two or three persons were present, and after waiting an hour, there being no other candidate proposed, Mr. Bate was declared duly elected, As it Snovto Bz.â€"Ata meeting of influâ€" ‘ential citizens, held at the Russell House yesâ€" terday afternoon, the Hon. James Skead in the chair, and Thomas ‘Hunton, Esq., acting as secretary, a subscription was opened for the purpose of procuring a suitable testimonial to be preseotedâ€"to J. B. Lewis, Esq., on his reâ€" tiring from the position of Recorder in the city, and showing the appreciation in which he is held in this community as an upright juadge and an estimable citizen. Every genâ€" tieman present contributed, and a committee was appointed to extend the opportunity of contributing to the several wards of the city, so that th¢ expression of estecm may be as general nfthe good estimation in which Mr. Lewis is held by all classes in Ottawa.‘ Draivixa Cuics.â€"W* noticed some time since that it was in contemplation by a number of gentlemen to form a driving club similar to those in Montreal and some other cities. Two or three weeks ago, at the time we spoke of the matter, a list of twentyâ€"five or thirty subâ€" scribers had been obtained, but frlom some cause or other the club was,not organized. We understand, however, that a meeting is to bs held at 4 o‘clock this afternoon in the Russell House for that purpose. 2 Porics Court.â€"Margaret Gauthier was charged with breaking in a door of Francis Desjardin‘s. The complainant it appears offeied all the resistance in his power, whick, from his stature, one would judge would not be very great. Francis is almost as tall as Gil Percz, the reverend uncle of Gil Blas, but by no means as corpulent. He told the story of his wrongs with minute precision and some eloquence, and whilst doing so was the " observed of all observers," especially of the defendant, who succeeded in making it appear that she was the victim.. The magistrate took sides with the weaker (?) vessel, and disâ€" missed the case. Thus encouraged, Mrs. Gauthier brought a counter action for assault, and obtained a conviction, and a fine on the ".queer little man" of one dollar. Robert Hillyard, for assaulting John Kelly, was fined $3 and costs.
