JAMES DAIRD, PRINCE ALBERT, AUGUS The Enemies of the new Con- stitution, The enemies of our new Constitution are neither few nor far hetween ; and the most inveterate emnity exists against (hore very portions of it which render it patticularly valuable toUpper Canadians, without which, in fact, the whole thing would be a com- plete farce~-- wo refer to the provisions for Repreeentation by Population, with the con- trol of oor local affairs. These two com- bined forms the paladium of the new con- slitution ; that which enables the Province of Ontario, to make her own improvements, " employ only such men as we know can perform the work well, and pay only what the work is worth. Not as in times past when all our public works were made jobs of, and given oniy to favorites however in competent. Quebec and the other province may all have as many local improvements as they desire, but they must puy for them. Formerly when Upper Canada required any Jocal improvement it was only if the bureau- crats pleased thal we got it at all, and, when in the exuberance of their generosity they granted our reqnést, the cream was always taken of it by having it givento some bungling 4 favorite, some eervile tool, who performed!the work in the most slovenly manner, and charged the country two or three prizes for it. The Lower Canadian majority knowing that the Upper Canadian minority could not rule without their sup- port, and knowing too, that the credit of the | county was yet sound they determined to | have a preity handsome price for their ser- vices, prepared as they wero to sell their support to the highest bidder. The Up- per Canada majority disdained to purchase such support to the rum of their country ; but the minority having no such qualms of conscience, hesitated not to allow Cartier and his party to dip deeply into the public purse. Thissuited the Lower Canadinns admirably secing that Upper Canada must furnish at least two thirds of the funds. Other jobbers of every description--Grand Trunk-- Ottawa Buildings--Tug Boats and numberless others, finding out the salient point of the bureaucrats, at once took .their stand in the political shambles, offering for a ceitain consideration, to stick to the bureaucrats throughthick and thin; but in case of refusal threat ening to oppose them with all their might, or perhaps twin people's evidence, and have every man of them convicted and diiven from his post. This was more than the bureaucrats could msk ; and while the country would bear it they might, and the result was that these vampires too hal to be let loose upon the pubiic chest. This state of thmgs* went on 'becoming worse, from year to year ; the Upper Canada majority resisting with ail their imght, the growing evil, Lut powerless against the Upper Ca- nada minority backed up by the Lower Canada majority whose combined inflience succeeded in carrying through those mea- sure which have brought the country to the very verge of baukruptey and ruin. So ex- travagantly reckless was our expenditure, and so much above our income that with a population of scarcely three millions we have during a period of 8 years increased the provincial debt, about thirty-seven mil- lion doilare~ more than doubled the pro- vineial expenditare--and added fully nine fer cent to our taxes. So that a hard work- "ang man who is doing his best to keep his family comfortable--1o give his children a | dustrious, thrifty Upper Canadians. Could the inhabitants of almost any other country believe it possible that a party could be found 10 be so unjust as to strive to perpetuate so palpable injustice so glaring a wrong ! Still it was so, our bureaucrats were blind to everything but their own 'tn* terest ; regardless of their country's fate, loving the sweets of office mors than they loved their country, having bartered their country's weal fora mess of bureaucratic pottage, und became the willing tools of Monsieur Cartier & Co., witholding from Upper Canadians those claime, to which, by every law of justice and equity, they havea perfect right. In this they succeed- ed but too well for a period of at least ten yenrs 3 long enough almost to force one lo doubt the truth of the adage, Veritas Prevalebit. But with a tenacity and per- severance worthy of the noble cause, the Upper Canada majority pressed steadily on, braved every danger untill at last they got the enemy by their political throat ; the Upper Canadian minority in the one hand, and the LoweirCanada majority in the other ; they could have strangled them both, and should have done it, bul the wiley bureau- crats determined to make one last effort to prolong their polilical existance-- got down on their mairow bones at the feet of Mr. Brown aud his colleagues promising lo give the Reformers everything if they would only spare their bureaucratic existence a little longer. Hence the Coalition of 1864 which has resuitedin the present Confed- eration which secures to Upper Canada (Ontario)Representation by Population with the control ot her local affairs. Notwith- standing that we have full confidence in the truth of the triplet which says " Freedom's battle onee begun Bequcathed from bleeding sire to son Though baffled oft is ever won." Yet we are very far from believing that the baflling 18 now all over; wo believe the greatest effort is yetto come. Does any one ack for a procfof this assertion ? Jet him find 1t in the couise which sir Johu is pur- suing in causing the working of the new Government to be placed in the hands of its most inveterate enemies, while le ruise Monsieur Cartier and his faithful bleus are working, pick in hand,for sweet life under- mining the foundation of the very bulwoiks of the new constitution ; so that they may obtain another lease of power, and screw a few more millions of dollars out of the in- Does some bureaucrat, some political seceptic please to call for proof of this assertion ? we can easily refer him, not to the bleus alone but we can point with equal certainty to the roughes and the verts, priests and people. © The Griffintown lambs, Cartier's wmoutons, and the roughe party, however widely they may ditfer in all other matters, however heartily they may hate each other, in this they are entirely agreed, that neither Representation by Population nor local con- [trol i8 desirable for Lower Canada, and therefore should be expunged from the con- stitution, Take for example thie following passage which we retranslate from Le Pays of the 161h inst., quoted by him from a copy of the Canadian Catholic Clergy or- gan of 1864 : After giving nearly an entire column against Confederation and its chiefs ; he says: " In short tho whole thing (meaning Confederation) is a hoax, purely a covering with which they wish to guild the biter pill in order to induce the Lower Canadians to swallow that dangerous, or rather that moital ding, Representation by Popula- tion." It is not atall surprising that Lower Canada should dread the ascendency of Upper Canada." * Sho kuows how in day of triumph, she trampled ou the most cherished rights of Upper Canada ; but she need not be alarmed, the day will never come when Upper Canada (Ontario) will seek to retaliate by, directly or indirectly, attempting an justice on Lower Canada (Quebec) or any of the other provinces. Upper Canada seeks nothing now, and she never did ask more than fair play, even handed justice, the has never asked more, but now she will take no less. Should the enemies of the -gonatitution succeed in mutilating it-- which they never can do if Reformers are true fo fheir principles--the result will be that Upper Canada will creep closer' to the mother country ; still further strengthening her connection with the em- pire, have a clean separation from Lower good education, and keep out of debt, finds [ Canada, ant sgek' an alliance with the it preity difficult to accomplish--~in fact moie thon he can do without considerable sacrifice ;and this isnot at all to be wonder ed at seeing that the taxes on all datiable articles amount, on an average to about one fourth of the price of the aiticle purchased, #0 that for four dollars he will only get about valve for three, or in other words he has to give the government one dollar out of every dour so laid out; and notwithstanding all thie paying, the country was still sinking in débt. The Upper Canadian majonty £aw this factand bitterly lamented at, but north-west. The questions which every Elector should now propose to himselfare something of the the following nature. Have the from the real criterion by which they ought Judge of the worth of a Candidate. Would any sane man give his vote to send a Can- diddte to Parliament who has in time past given his countenance and support to the McDanald Cartier Government in their reckless extravagance? Would an Elector be doing his Juty to himself,his family, and his country, by casting his vote for a candi- date who aided either by his silence or his vote in the infamous jobbery connected with the Grand Trunk, the Ottawa buildings and other similar jobs by which the country has not only-been cheated out of the vast am- ounts of money, but numbers of her public men have been debauched and disgraced ; Would an Elector be acting wisely in giv- ing his support to a Candidate, whatever name he might assume, if he has been ac- cessary in any way either in 8 MUCH WANTED, We are 'pleased to learn that our late en- terprising townsman Mr, E.

Le Pays of the 16th inst., quotes from the London (Canada) Advertiser of the 4th current the following snub given 10 an officious priest which tended to take dewn his reverence a peg or two. The priest, whose name is Zucher, read in the Catholie Church thero on Sunday 4th inst; a lar from the Vicar General those men in office or voting with them in that wasteful expenditure by which the taxes of the country have been nearly doub!- ed, and the provincial debt more than donbled within a space ol ten years 7 What Upper Canadian Elector who values his home, whether of his birth or his adoption, who regards the welbeing of his offspring, or has any regard for the eternal principle of right-- believing that Representation by Population and Local control are desirable leatures of our constitution-- would so far prostitue the franchise as give his vote to return to Parliament any Candidate whe may bo-an enemy to one or both of these provisions. And while we are ready to admit that the new Government and every other Government ought to have a fair trial and stand or fall only by ita measures; and while wo also admit that to attempt to pledge Candidates to oppusa a government whether or no; would be equally as mad as nujust, still we do believe that any Candi- date coming forward, secking the sufirages of the Electors.ought to be prepared, at least with an outline of his intended actionon the mast prominent subjects likely to coms un- der the notice of the Legislature during the approaching Whether he will discountenance and resist every attempt al extravagance, Whether ho will exert hp - self in stamping out for ever every lrace of Governmental jobbery.

Whether or not he will use his best endeav- ors £0 to work fie eonstitution "that it may prove a blessing to the people and the sop- | port and stability of the Dominion. We are aware that same Candidates refase ta pledge themselves. This may all bs very well for them, but we believe that a new Candidate, or an old one either on a new question, who 1s unwilling so far to pledge himself, the Electors should be equally unwilling to give him their votes. A member who has al- ready been liied and has not come up to the mark should by ail means bo left at home and a more faithful . representative sought after. Why ! shall any Elector go to the poles aud vote a lie by declaring by his vote that such a Candidate is a fit and proper person to represemt the constituency not- withstanding that ho has already betrayed Bis trust in a similar capacity.? | No Elector should allow any considera- tionto drag him from the conviction that the future weal or woe of the country de- pends in a great measure on the voles that he shall cast in the coming election, Let those who have abused their power in the past who have aided and assisted in mis- governing the country be left at home for a term of years, eo that they may see how faithful rulers do and learn to copy their example if ever they should again got a chunce of a seat in our Legislature. A --e et THOSE WRITS, rs se T= SCRE, NE. MY The Writs for the Notth Riding of the County of Ontario, are in the hands of N. G. Reynolds, Esq., Shenfof the County, who. we are informed, has written the clerks ol the various Municipalities concerning the Divisions made by the various munieipa | councils for election purposes, in order to sanction said divisions, if made according to statute--and 1f not tomake the necessary alterations before issuing his Proclamation. It is suspected by some that the delay in making the necessary proclamation is atthe instance of the Hon. M. C. Cameron so that should he be rejected for the Local in East Toronto, he may have a chance to run for toth houses in North Ontario. This assertion has not a limb to stand upon as such a proceeding would be per- fect madness, and could not fail to put Mr. Cameron's defeat beyond all doubt, were he ten times more powerful than he is, Be- sides 1t would be an'act of meanness alto- gether unworthy a gentleman occupying the hl. ot our Government been no higher than was necessary 7 Has thero been no jobbery in the management of grants to the Grand Trunk or the Ottawa Buildings and other Public Works?

This circular informed the people that 1t was the desire ot the authorities of the Church that all good Catholics should vote for min- isterial Candidates. Whereupon a farmer from North' Yormonth rising, said to the priest that the people had assembled in the Church to hear a religious discourse and not a discourse upon pohtics.

McKenzie who kept a giocery stero in City Hall Buildings, Toronto, put an end to his life by cutting his throat with a pocket*knife, on Monday last. He retired down stairs about noon telling his assistant and a gentleman that was in the store that he would return 1n a few minutes. Some time after the assist- ant went down stairs to find his employer-- here he found him: with his throat cut from { about --vote--influence and J. C to the South Riding of the County of Ontario, in the House of Coni- mons and in the Legislature of Ontario. In order to take. part in the interesting proceedings we set off at a pretty seasdnable hour in company with our friend ¢ Mice Host of the Anglo American Hotel, Prince Albert. Being somewhat early nothing unusual manifested itself unti! we arrived at Brooklin ; here it was obvious that some= thing more than ordinary was about to take place ; we found that all who had time, and a good many who hadn't, were begining to set their faces Whitbyward, consequently from Brooklin to the Tewn of Whitby a preity lively movement was kept vp ; all sorts and sizes of animals were on the move--quadrupeds and bipeds--at a]l de- grees of spoed [rom the ten miles in eleven hours, up tothe fury of a very Jehu--chacun a son guot. Nothing unusual occurred however except the snapping of a tire which brought the thundering pace of (wo of our Reach gents to a temporary halt, hs Arnved at Whitby we found groops of the free and independent atevery corner, whispering and discussing as if the country had just been invaded or a wid: spread con- spiracy was on the tapis. Butwhen we had reached the headquarters of the various parties there we found electioneering diplo- macy being carried on wilh a vengeance, while the more noisy were laying down (he law and gospel of politics with a will. A rather noticeable feature at the head quarters of some of the candidates was that nearly all those iho were most boisterous, holding forth most vehemently, pressing the elaims of their candidate with the gigatest vim, while they denounced the opposite party in unmeasured terms as altogether unworthy of confidence, had samething peculiar about their coat, some had them completely turned, others were half turned, some had "only one slesve turned wiong side out while others had their coat in hand. Wg observed one just in the act of tarning his--some of the bystanders said that they observed dollar bills sticking out of the breast pocket --bat we did not see any--we however saw something fall and went to pick it op but the party snatehed at it ke a shark, we saw some writing on it other words which we could not make out, as the fellow would not give us time to read it--itmay have been aroll of bills for aught we kuow. No those notorious bells which have ng so many changes on the floor of the Council Chamber, when there was nothing better to talk about, prociaimed the Liour of meeting. We happened to be at the Market Honse just the worthy bell-man began to pull at the. everlasting bell, and pull ho dul with a vengeance, but lo yery litle purpose. Whoever arranged that gearing muet have had an antipathy either at the bell or the ringer, we chonld rather judge at both; for he has managed to put both to the greatest possible disadvantage ; the greatest amount of laber produces the least possible result. Some one ought to pity-thedell if not the ringer, and get the thing properly fixed -- the surplus rope that the present arrangement requires will pay for the alteration. as The appearance of the Warden--the Re- turning Officer we should say--was the signal for muster. Everything was well arranged,the meet- ing was held in that excellent' field south of the Market Square, on which 'a very suit- able hustings was erected. The varions Candiates real and imagmary with their movers and scconders, took their place on the hustings. The Press was largely re- presented, many of the leading men of the County, who touk no active part, were also present. We observed onr woithy Shen, the County Clerk, Clerk of the Peace ete. ele. ect, : The Returning officer having gone through the necessary preliminaries 2alled for Nominate, "Avhort Me Rtelif*eondiny' forward said that he intended to nominate a Candidate for the Commons but he would consider it discourteous to the late member to nominate any one till after he had been nominated--here Mr. Gibbs said it would be no disconrtesy, and it was in adeordance with English practice to neminate the oppo= nents before nominating the late member. Mr. Brown objected to this saying that it was not Canadian practice. Mr. Brown's paity however gave away." And the Nom - nations were proceeded with, FOR THE COMMONS. ' Mr. J.

The Returning officer said that in conse- quence of the very large number of Nomi- nations that have I made, and as the nominators and seconders as well as the nominees will desire to speak, he would be under. the necessity of confining the movers and eeconders 10 (wo minutes each. The could mot save it. 1h andidates proper to * thirty minutes each ; | | and divide the remaining time among (he othér Candid.ites. Mr. Ratoliflo as nominator of+Mr. Brown was first called. He spoke of the vast im- rtance of the issues now pending in South ntario, so that the eyes of the whole Do- minion were anxiously looking on. He said that party lines were, very far from being dh we have still the great prinei- ples of Reform to defend, and ho regarded the contest not so much as between Mr. Brown and Mr. Gibbs, as between the prin- ciples of the two great patties and he hoped that Mr. Brown the Representative of the great principles of Reforn, would be retarn- ed by such a majority as would prove the esteem in which these principles are held. Mr. Tu P. White followed. He said that the gent whose ination he had the honor to second was too favorably known to require anythiny to be said in his praise by him (White) -and to no other man is the country more indebted than to the Hon. Georga Brown. He had been the moving &pirit in securing to us the act of Confedera- tion : und he (White) has no hesitancy in predicung that Mr. Brown wiil be elected 4% a large mujority. Mr. Bickeli enme forward as nommator of T. N. Gibbs, Esq. He sai it aflorded him much pleasure in coming forward in favor of Mr. Gibbs --a gentleman who had served us faithfully in the past and who, he believes wiil be returned by a larger ma jor- ity in the coming election than he was mn the past. Here the speaker complained that Mr.; Brown had called Mr. Gibbs a mere chill in politics, he (Bickeli) could tell that gentleman that we are just rassing him up amongst us. Here the gentleman rather got into a tangle, from which he could not well extricate tumsell. He said that people talked of preferring principles to men, but he believed that the men onght to be taken first and then the principles ; ho illustrated his position by asseiliug that though you shold deck up a lng and call it a Reformer It was only a log alter all. Mr. McCreight said that Mr. Gibbs was a man' of truth and honor, and if elected will perform his duties well. Mr. Wm. Gibbs < mover of Mr. Wilson-- spoke of the ability of lus candidate 10 serve his constituents--and he (Gibbs,) felt con- vinced that he would only introduce kuch measures as would tend to the best interests ol the country. The «peaker alluded to the importance of the present contest, and con- tended that the result would prove whether men should go to the legislature to sustain the interests of the country or the Wlerests ol individuals only. Mr. Weir says that Mr. Wilson will make a capital representative, and will stand by hits constituents ander every diffienity. He demurred at taking a representative from ¢ are plenty of men at home equally suitable. Messrs. Spears, Fisher, Smith spoku very briefly. Mr. J. Carmichael followed, he repu- diated the ideas of those who preferred men to muoastres ; he spoke highly ip favor of Mr. Proanydeclaring that Le has done more in defence ol the nghis ot Upper Canada Carswell, and than any other mann the country. Mr. Lark followed -- he took a diive at Mr. Brown, asseiting that he (Brown) had been the means of casting off Me Baldwin-- that he had op; osed the late W. I. Me- Keuzie, and on two occasions had opposed representation Ly. popu ation. The rest of the movers and se onders put in each his two minutes. The Returning officer announced that the Candidates would next be called upon and that the four Candidates proper would each be allowed thirty minutes. The Hon. George Brown waa first called -- He eomplained of the shortness of the time alotted 10 the Candidates. He then referred to the remarks made by Mr. Luk, declaring that the Baldwin cry 1s astaie falsehood --that with reference to his (Brown's) opposition to W. L. McKenzie. Mr. Larke had got Lis story turned wrong- end first--for it was Mr. McKenzie that op- posed Brown and net, Brown that opposed MeKenzie. Aud with regard to Mr, Luark's asseition that he (Mr. Brown) had opposed representation by population in 1856, it was simply untrue. The gentleman went on to refer to the great principles of Reform what they have been struggling for ; { the part he had taken in the shnggla--and the result ot that strife, He referred 10 the many benefits conferred upon Upper Cana- da by C ntederation, | Ha spoke of the ares amount of debt with which the Do- minion sets out,and showed the wasteful ox- penditure which had caused the debt to accumulate so rapidly. A voice asked, und where were you then 2? He answered that he was in his place in Parlinment striving against it to his very utmost, but he and tus purty were outvoted by Johu A. awd his party, backed vp by the Lower Ca- nada majority. The speaker went on to enumerate some of John A. and Co's tricks showing some preity handseme amounts that had been recklessly squandered or thihwat away: we & > There are two fedtures in these charges which vender them parti=nlarly unfortunate. Firet that they are too true, and next because we have no means of making tle gmhy partly pay over the amounts. The speaker here put a very pertinent question, and one that requires a response from every lover of his country. ¢ Are thesé things to go on He said that the John A. Cartier Govern- ment is responsible for all this reckless ex- penditare 5 aud the electors were about to vote either for men who uphold these men and defend their acts, or men who shall op+ pose them and denounce their acts. The gentleman went on to specify some features of the policy that a Reform Gov- ernment would pursue with reference to the Pub'ic Debt--1the Intercolonial Railway-- Crown Lands-- Fisheries-- Parliamentary Elections--Agrionlture-- Railways--and the Currency. 1 Mr. Gibbs next took the stand. He said 'thal a previous epeaker had truly remarked that the eyes of the entire Dominion were tained towaras South Ontario, watching the result of the present contest; and being among the first elections to come oft, its re- suit could not fail to have a powerful im- pression on those that are to follow. He denied that Mr. Brown 1s the representative of the Reform party, the Hons. McDougall, Howland, Blair and their eolleagues he as- serted aro the leaders of the Reform party. He spoke of Mr. Brown leaving the Gov- ernment ; and said he had lost his claim by doing so. He would hike to ask who fol- lowed Mr. Brown when he left the Govern- ment? 'How many adherents had he then ? He sard that the habits of the gentlemen from the Lower Provinces were a suffici- cient guarantee that the Government of the country will be strictly attended to.

The gentleman went on to speak of the charges brought against the late Govern. ment such as the public debt--the buildings at Ottayg, &e., &c. Ie said that he would wish it to be distinctly understood that he does not set himself up as an apologist for the Cartier McDonald Government, neither 18 he responsible for their acts.

Howe of Nova | Scotia, the Roughe party from Lower Cana= da, and a certain few whom he may bag Upper Canada.

George Brown, paid a wel merited compliment to his tulents. He madé a delightful address which was well receiv= ' This ended the real Candidates, and now the Nominal Candidates were aliowed five minutes each. The several nominees followed in thé order in which they were named, each one putting his time to as good use as possi- ble. The entite proceedings 'reflected much credit on all concerned. Excellent order was preserved throughout. It was pleasant to see a pretty large sprinkling of ladies whose presénce Had a marked effect on that large assemblage, and whose careful atention lo the various speak- ers, had a good influence. From nine to ten hundred people took part in the proceedings. . 'Three roneing cheers were given for the Queen= three for each of the Candidates, and three for the Returning officer. 'Mr. Perry makes a capital officer, and performs bis duties in the most efficient manner. A large potion of the proceedings have been crowded out for want of space.
