It its first inception the gorernment intended® it to perform, the establishmenit of law and order and the protection of loyal men. The Queen‘s authority is once again suâ€" prems, and none but her sworn servant has the power to reward those who deserve encouragement, or to punish the guilty. It is somewhat remarkable that the stories concocted in this city and promulgated throughout the country solely for the pur pose of injuring the government, have been so speeilily and so thoroughly proved to have been utterly false. Weeks ago we were told that the Dominion authorities had granted an ammesty to : Riel and his companions, that the expeditionary force was to be at once withdrawn, and that Gorâ€" ernor Archibald and His Excellency the Governor General were to be smuggled into the province by the Amsrican route under the escort of Bishop Tache.

They have a road by which civilization and can find their way across British rritory to the North West ; they havreupâ€" held the dignity of the Queen and of the cause, viz: the vindication of British honour and the preservation of British inâ€" stitutions. We regret to find that Lieuâ€" tenant Governor Archibald was not up in time to enter the province with the earing imperious ways, lost all his former ower, that Mr. Brown cannot be seen in heir company at a public meeting, and is weed by his own feelings of envy and pite to write a letter of reply, which is morly lacking in that courtesy which aight be expected. from any pnfl.nno‘ ulture and relinement. General Wolseley‘s Red River campaign persons feel, who allowed themselves to be gulled by an unfounded rumor which carâ€" ried falsshood stamped upon it ! No far from an amnesty having been granted warrants for their arrest «were issued | almost before the troops had obtained & foothold in the place ; instead of the expeâ€" ditionary force having been withdrawn and m.mw-;:ummuflm, the troops enter and take possession before his arrival, and Kiel, instead of playingthe part of host, and being treated with disâ€" tinguished consideration, is a fugitive from justice. Of course the Gorernment cannot be expected to give an authoritative con. tradiction to every false and idle rumor which is started concerning them and their intentions. They are willing to be judged by their acts, to trust to the justice of the Canadian people, and to await their rerâ€" dict, when in the fullness of" time the true nature of the Ministerial policy is made known ; and we hold that so far as this North West matter is concerned‘ the Gorâ€" ernment have completely vindicated themâ€" selves, and have proved that from first to last they have been solely actuited by a sincere desire to do impartial justice to all classes of Her Majesty‘s subjects.

Not knowing one indivi uil in the country© except though the Ezxaminer and was successful. He (Sir Francis Hincks) reâ€" collected Mr. Wylue before he was conâ€" nected with the Recorder, but it was at & critical time that he had become acquaintâ€" ed with th&t{':).unnl. In the trying times of 1837 Mr. Wylie becatne editor and proâ€". prietor of the Brockville ;::ordc At that .time the Parliament buildings in Montreal had been destroyed by fire ; his own life wis sought; his house had been sacked, his wife, and children had â€" been sent to Uppet Canm and the Government was in a very criti position. _ All that time he depended on the course taken by ‘the pooÂ¥lo of yn?er Canada, The cry was one of race of religion, and much depended upon the acâ€" tion to be taken by the Protestants of Upper Canada of British origin. He (Sir Francis Hincks) well recollected that the first support was given to the Government by the people of Glengarry. A large deâ€" first support was given to the Uoverniment by the people of Glengarry. A large deâ€" putation came from various parts of the country, which was followed by many others which. secured triumw to the cause At that critieal period Mr. Wylie assumed the editorship of the Recorder, and gave a hearty support to the, Gorernment, of which he was a member, and which he (Sir of hands. Hon. Stephen Richards was next called upon by the Chairman. _ He would be brief in the address he intended to make. They were met toâ€"day to celebrate a very imâ€" portant event in the history of this part of the countryâ€"the nnnivorux of the 50th year of the publication of the Brockville Recorder. J:lch a celebration was a matter | that every one in the country should ‘ feel an interest in. It was 23 years since he had resided in this district, but he always felt a warm interest in its welfare, and the proâ€" gress of its institutions. It was a matter of congratulation that a journal like the Recorder had existed for such a long period |â€" as 50 years. : It had been launched forth 5) years ago by men who had certainly the best interests of the country at heart. It was about the year 1835 that he first began to take an interest in the perusal of the columns of the Recorder. Its editor at that time was one of the most able and consgientious men who ever ‘wielded a pen in Canads. He made . this statement, although the gentleman was a relative of his own. It was owing, in a great measure, to the late Mr. Buell‘s inâ€" terest in the cause of reform that that party now occupied the position it did. At the period in which the Recorder was esâ€" tablished, it was as much as a man‘s life was worth to e?ouu the cause of reform. There was one dominant party at that time who had control of the judiciary, the juries of the country, and weilded their power ‘with an iron hand. It was during his reâ€" collectien, between the lforiodl of 1828 and 1848, that mostly all the important and progressive legislation that the country now enjoys had been passedâ€"the amended judiciary laws, the municipal institutions, and all those othor liberal and enlightened measures that the "country now rejoiced in possession of, | Previous to the year first mentioned no member of the liberal party enuo;od a seat on the Commission of the Peace ; and, owing to this state of afâ€" fairs, it was almost impossible to get parâ€" ties punished who committed outrages at election times in the interest of the domiâ€" nant party,. As a consequence, the liberal voters were driven from the polls, and thus the dearest liber ies of the people were taken from them. Now, he was &hd to be able to :ady all ese > things were . changed. ‘ We had now responsible Government, and all the blessings accruing therefrom. The Recorder had always fought for the meaâ€" sures of a liberal character that were now embodied in the statutes of the country. He {olt.uf? ilx: saying that eve:n since the first issue of the paperâ€"under all its lnunfiu and tlu'oué all its vicissitudesâ€"it sustained the character of being one of the best local pufir- in Canada. It had susâ€" tained that . ter up to the present m~ment, and he had ‘no fear but that it w â€".ld maintain the same honorable charâ€" .er in the future. ‘The honorable genâ€" .leman then enumerated a long list of w that existed at the time the was started, and traced the many hard and well fought battles that hsd&ndmlly wiped away the tyranny of the family ,‘m‘cfl He contended that no nobler eould be found than that which was associated with the press and people, who conferred all these bene. house had | defin nd ~children | sent et Camm pape very criti man sn 0 ppetr res Emmfif By t “fiu 01; ;i:;;;oplbâ€"lh all of which the old Recorder had taken an wrivo and neverâ€" ceasing interest. _ _ ky o) coesccind. â€" Intsininivnaactacted J He then proceeded to show the benefits accruing to mankind from the Press, and the inflnence which it brings to bear upon the enlightened world. _ He then spoke_ of the system of railways through the o anâ€" try, and said that 27 years ago when ho moved from his county to the city of Toâ€" ronto, it took two days and three nights, whereas he performed the same distance in company with his Kon. frend the Atâ€" torneyâ€"General in ten. hours, arriving in l Brockville this morning at 10 o‘clock. He also alluded to the strides made in teleâ€" graphy during the last fifty years, but as | i to the local journal, it was idle for him to ‘| P say the benefit it was to the community. He ; | spent the greater part of his life on the | borders of the county, yet he could speak | . with pleasure of the. efficacy of the Reâ€"| corder. He believed the majority of the | people present had been supporters of the reform party. The Recorder first became an efficient organ about the year 1828. "It was in that year the Reform party became definitely defined, and they who were preâ€" sent should bear in mind that what this paper advocated they had to fight for on many a hard fought field of political conâ€" test. The listory of this country did not Bment a feeble record of the part played y the_ old Reform party. Few of the old Reform party were now present; the sward covered many of them, and they could have no ‘higher principles than to adore the recollections of those who were now no more. He always believed in doâ€" mg justice to those who lived in the past. He was now desirous of ‘bringing to their notice the Hon. Robert Baldwin, and Hon. S Francis Hincks, the latter of whom was Ymont on the occasion: From 1830 to 847 they labourerd under the charge of rebellion, and he believred the charge was an unjust one. For a tgoriod of two or three years succeeding the rebellion of ‘37, be, himself, was suspected of feolin'gl anâ€" tagonistic.to the British Empire. He had no hesitation in saying the peeplo who ‘came out in ‘39 Aand ‘40 in support of Sir F. Hincks were under the deepest debt of obligation to that gentleman. He recolâ€" lected the enthusiasm that prevailed in the public mind, and he would always consider the public as being deep}iy inâ€" debted to himâ€" The country could not have selected a better man, and they were all ué;re of the‘ success which attended his efforts as well as Robert Baldwin. ‘Tne Assessment law took place in 1849. The | School law was “raaaed upon the principles brought forward at that time ; and they were inlebtâ€"d to thit gentleman for the great Railway scheme. He submitted it to them, and was sure that for the 5,000,â€" 000 dollars they would not do without the Grand Trunk Railway, on the contrary, they ought to feel proud of having it. He trustâ€" ed these few, remarks would not be unsaâ€" tisfactory to them ; and in conclusion, | hoped that they mifht have the pleasure of witnessing the celebration of the cenâ€" tenury of the Brockville Recorder as well as | the fiftieth anniversaryjof it.
