\ =e PORT PERRY, "JUNE 12, 1879 The Political Battle Field. Now that the late political battle throughout this Province hus been brought to a close at least a cursory view of the battle ground may not be out of place, may suffice to teach some highly important lessons, les- sons which can scarcely fail in proving both interesting and in- structive to future combatants. In «glancing over the battle field we telligent electors Un] thinking howlers should conside: this, and while thoy have no higher aim than to satisfy their own whims without the slightest regard to the good of the country or tho future well being of the party, they must not suppose that thoy are fair repro sentatives of any party or that in- will either be hounded or trighteped into making fools of themselves to please a few conceited wire pullers who suppose that their mightinesses can not only control theso things but can so advantage of the country. tyrannizo over intelligent indepen- dent electors us to force them not only to swallow but try to aid and calculated to injure or disturb the graves, bat no ope should "permit another to do it, and if one is found doing it he should at once bo deliv- ered over to that punishment which such acts 2o justly merit.

There are men in the Opposition ranks-- but, thank goodness, they are nol aumercus--unthinking, wide mouth- ed babblers, who really do not know a single point of difference botween the two eontonding partics, but yet these will babble and scold on the public stroets, insulting and disgust- ing the respectable portion of the 'community of whatever shade of politics they may be. What good do mea expect to accomplish by Btanding raving in (Le public streets, Aslking of matters of which--even Shad they been sobor--they aro on- {irely ignorant, using empty threats and boasting of what they will do to punish all and sundry who may 'bave come under their august dis- pleasure, little souls are always cruel. The peity tyrants know no more of manly freedom than a don- koy knows of mathematics, and still they will strut around --holding 'on by the walls--and pretend they are advocating party politics. Dear help the party! for such babblers are only a damage to any party.

But hero we must pauso, we are almost ashamed to go furthor ~ we arc ashamed to state that some parties are in the habit of robbing the very graves, stealing from the silent tombs many plants and flowers placed there by the hands of affec- tion, the longing, loving ones as sweot offerings Lo tho momories of the dear departed ones whose pre~ cious dust is there proserved.

It furthet proof were wanted of the ter- rible effects of class legislation the degraded down trodden condition of the Russian peasants will furnish the proof. The peoples' organ Land and Liberty" whose place of publication: date rol even be made known published the following notification in its issue of April i8th-- « Punishment by death to all those who way be concerned ia the torture of P. Solovieff, should that proccss have been ap- plicd to that officer, as it was {a the caso of Kutakozok, to extort information from bim. This notification is pressed on the attention of Professor Trapp in particular, as in the case of Kurakozok he advocated recourse to torture, (Messrs Trapp, Drenten, Turof and Koshlakoff have received communica tions to this effect through the post.) Mr. Azatonoff, an advacate, being accused of receiving pay from the secret police, re- ceives warning as a spy of the Third Section of His Majesty's Chancery." In refereace to the present tyrant the organ says i-- « Seating himself on the blood-stained throne of his late fathers the Emperor Alex- ander 1I. pledged himself to beneficial reforms, and 1aised great expectations ; but the whole result has been bitter disappoint- mont, There is not a single section of the Russian world which does not revolt at the prevailing system of administrative ccvrup: tion and of grinding tyranny. The peasant class suffers even more thin ever. The peasants are squeezed for arrears of taxes ; they have been robbed even of the lands which they cultivated for themsclves as serfs under their former masters; they are plundered by those who have the manage- ment of their affairs; they are reduced to absolute wietchedness ; they suffer from chronic famine ; they are drafted in large numbers into the army ; und they now find consolation only in drink: Tho provincial police exercises more than ever an arbitrary and cruel power, and the peasantiy are being beggared and thrown on the world as a helpless proletariat, In place of free institutions which Russian society was led to expect at the beginning of the present, there is nothing but adminis- trative tyranny and outrogcous injustice.-- All, individual rights and the rights of humanity are denied or trampled down with pitiless cruelty, The courts of justice are & mockery ; while the press subserves an odious system of government. " Education is reduced to an absurdity ; the elementary schootshave been diminished in numbers, and learning has become almost impossible. While Russia has been drained of all her money and resources, her pupulation has been reduced. Thousitids of men have been put into bonds, and generals conspicu. ously incapable from the Imperial Coin- mander-in-chief downwards, have led the Russian army to the shambles.
