Such is the modest signature ap- pended to a very elaborate deliver- ance on the * political situation" re- cently issued for the benefit of North Ontario Electors. Fortunately, how: ever, for posterity there is no difficul- ty in the way of supplying what is needed to settle definitely the ques- tion of authorship. One * Junius" is quite sufficient for a world like this, apd it would De exceedingly unkind of the present generation to furpish future literati with materials fof a controversy, similar to that evoked by the brilliant letters writ-- ten over that celebrated nom de plume. @. BK. will: therefore.pardon us if we insist on placing the well earned laurels upon the brow they ought in fairness to adorn; and especially since we shall thus save him from the hard fate of those flowers which are "--born to blush unseen, And waste their sweetness on. the desert air." Be it known then to the world at large, and to the Electors of North Ontario in particular, that the patri- otic.genius who subscribes himself simple €. E. K. rejoices in the eupho- nious name of Culling = Bardley Knowlys, to which he has the rare _privelege of adding M. D, &c. &c. Having thus, with generous but daring band, stripped our valiant author of all his modest disguises, we will take courage to venture still a little farther and point out the beauties of his work. Passing by a choice quotation from old Horace, to whose cffulgence he liberally adds a score or so of 'stars, our , admiration is first awakened by the virtuous sen- ~ remarks. 'Animated a' spirit of * justice" he thinks that the electors should have laid before them "a calm deliberate statement, free from those vituperative expressions which are too often used during the heat of political discussions"; and as no such statement had been made, or could be made by other than himself, owing to the universal spread of the political epidemic, he comes forward " unsolicited and unprompted," offering us "advice gratis," which "we can weigh well in our own minds ~~ and govern ourselves accordingly." © | 'Admirable man--the honor of his profession and the glory of a degen- erate age! His anxiety for the health of the body politic renders him posi- tively eloquent; and although he com- menges his "prescription," according fo medical custom, in the classic language of the Latins, returning to the same by very force of habit at the close, his finest utterances are given in vulgar English. We quote a sentence, in which the Doctor sets the case before us, that our > readers may judge of his style for] + themselves: --* These men (the elec- tors) have to decide between the mer- its of two of thei fellow men who shall be placed in a position {o affect their * tutore destinies for years to come, to make their taxation heavy or light, to increase the income of * the New Dominion' by judicious states-- manship, or, by perpetaal bickering and factions quarrels, to plunge the country désper dnd deeper into diffi ies, and present to the world at large, and especially to osr Republi- . 55 ifice." x hk 3 'next procecds to show that perl which thigat s g { sgais that he would # profor to take the Doctor to task a little.-- As then 'we are called upon to "decide between two parties who shall be placed in a position 10 make our tazation heavy or light? and to deal with * the sncome of the New Dominion' we sub- mit, with all due respect to the Doc- tor's sereme and profound intellect, that the men whom he upholds are the very men who on every prudent consideration are to -be discarded. And why 2. Because they are allied to that party whose corrupt practices have brought the country to the very verge of financial ruin. It is of no use, even for 80 great an authority as Dr. Knowlys to talk up the ¢ happy family" doctrine, and to tell us the pretty story of the « party marriage;" we do not forget that Mr. M. C. (Cameron has followed the leadership of John A. for many a year, and that John A. is a confirmed public spend- thrift. To be plain--it is the very climax of impudence to insinuate that by voting for. the' Government candidates and against Thompson and Paxton the electors of North On- tario will vote for « lizht taxation" and * judicious statesmanship." Was that " judicious statesmanship" which in five years raised the public debt from $30,000,000 to over sixty mil- lions, and in these same five years in- creased the ordindfy annual disburse- ments from $4,143,629 to $9,201, 9437 Do the Baby Jobs, the Ottawa Buildings Jobs, the Montreal Deben- tures Job, the Grand Trunk Railway Jobs and a host of other similar trans- actions indicate " judicious statesman- ship," or afford any ground of hope that under John A. McDonald's aus- 'pices we shall enjoy a * light taxa- tion ". These are questions which every elector may easily answer for himself. Notwithstanding Dr. Know- lys' " calm statement" that these "old greivances have long since been atoned for" their authors are not even sorry for the havoe they have made, and: that they intend no reform is shown clearly by their present lavish expenditure of public funds. to secure 'victory at the polls. As for George Brown, about whom, and' the Glebe, the Doctor is so greatly troubled--we had imagined that he had always been an advocate of ¢ light taxa-- tion" voting uniformly fof retrench- ment, and strenuously opposing the wretched policy by which our debts have been so enormously increased. -- Judging by their antecedents the par-/ ty whom Dr. Knowlys lauds so high ly are the real * traitors," while George. Brown, to whoa that. sel Ing! thet is. applied, is a hel BY ono # of quoting talking pompoualy. of , "the ' Republics of reece and Rome," and. indulging in a fine frenzy" on the supposed de- merits of the *arch-agitator," the Doctor had pointed ont some of Mr. Brown's bad votes, or proved in any way the truth of what he so lustily asserts, he really would have done his party signal service ; but he knows full well that rant and not reason is the only means at his com- mand. Electors of North Ontario! Dr, Knowlys and his friends are simply seeking to pull the wool over your eyes; but you are too well acquainted with your country's history to be thus cajoled. You know full well that Geo. Brown and the Reform party bave'contended with all their might for honest and economical overnment, while John A. McDon- ald and his followers have most shamefully abused their powers and which the Province groans. Re- member that past experience is your only guide for time to come---- that although our Constitution has been changed, ty principles and public men remain the same. If you desire therefore to save the country from "being plunged deeper and deeper into difficulties;" if you would have "light taxation," and " the in- come of the New Domiuion increased by judicious statesmauship," be careful not to follow Dr. Knowlys' prescription, but rather turn to the facts which Dr. Knowlys adroitly evades and send the willing tools of John A. defeated from the polls.

He once belong- ed to the ** Clear quill Grit interest" himself, but he has " descended" we know not how low, in order to' gain his ends"--that is, 'to make both ends meet." It is equally clear that Mr, Paxton voted for Mr. Brown and against Mr. Gibbs ; and surely if Mr, Pax- ton has a right to oppose Malcolm Gillespie and Matthew Crooks Cam. eron in North Ontario, he has an equal right to oppose men of the same ilk in South Ontario.

N. Gibbs. Such a thought never once entered into Mr. Paxton's head. Everything gues to show the falsity of the statement. First, there is Mr, Pax- ton's emphatic denial, to be found in another column, (and his known veracity will secure it credence thronghout the Riding); then there is his published address to the electors, in which he tells them that he bas always been a Reformer and is opposed to the principle of Coa- litions; then there is the fact that he is out in opposition to men who would, fratranize with T, N, Gibbs, if elected, and give a blind support; wa very questionable government. | All these things go to show that the Gazette's statement is a sheer fabri- cation. Electors--when you are called upon to " beware of corruption and Thomas Paxton"--you who know Thomas Paxton so well---yow who are not ignorant of the job- bing perpetrated by the chiefs of the present administration whom the Gazetle gives an unqualified support --you, we say, will not fail to resent it as another insolent attempt to pull the wool over your eyes. The best way to do this is to be early at the polls to cast your vote against M. C. Cameron and Malcolm Gilles- pie. 3a Let men of Ontario be the men accumulated the load of debt under |for Ontario, and send the outsider home. The "Political Apostate," and the * Chuckling Shanghai." The Globe of Saturday says : -- The Hon. Wm. McDougall was a voter yesterday in East Toronto. His vole was given for Mr. James Beaty and Mr. M. C. Cameron. Everyone recollects how indignant Mr. McDougal used to be at the York Roads robberies of the public chest by Mr. Beaty. Everyome too recol- lects the scathing denunciations Mr. Cameron used to pour on Mr. McDougall, as he charged him with an utter and shameless abandonment of principle, and how , by the feeling he aroused in this way, he drove him out of North Ontario. In voting for Mr, Beaty Mr. McDougall only for- nishes a new illustration of his favor- ite doctrine, that a public man, when in the Government, may wink at what outraged his moral sense as an positionist. In voling for Mr. SD E Mr. McDougall shows a be forgiving temper, for which markab! | the ort heretofore has never given him credit. But, however it may be explained, about the queerest spec- tacle yet presented in the revolutions of the political wheel is that of McDougall voting for James Beaty and M. C. Cameron." = ! © Two years ago Mr. M. C. Cameron told the electors of North Ontario that Mr. Wm, McDougall was a " Po- | litical Apostate," a 'mountebank," &c., while the latter retorted by call ing his oppenent a *Chuckling bi," and a*political non-entity." ly a few weeks ago Mr. Cameron publicly. declared -that he heartily espised Mf.

M. C. Cameron. Mr. Jos, Gould, Jr., seconded by Major Forman, nominated John Hall Thompson, Esq. T. N. Gibbs, Esq, and Messrs. Baird, Knowlys and J. B. Campbell, were also nominated for the Com- mons. ' For the Local Legislature, Mr. M. Cowan, seconded by Mr. A, Gordon, nominated T. Paxton, Esq. | Mr. H. Brethour, seconded by Mr. J. Galloway, nominated M, Gillespie, Messrs. Bickel, Gordon, Campbell, Wright, Weeks, and the Hon, M. C. Cameron were also nominated for the Local. ' i The nominators and seconders had the space of three minutes each al- lowed them, in which to present the claims of their respective candidates to support, after which the Candi- dates spoke for themselves. Nothing new transpired, no new features were presented, and everything passed off| in the usnill way. The Hon, M. C. made another dash at the Press, and we, of course, expected to be annihilated at' every stroke. Friend Joshua distinguished himself in presenting the claims of Mr. Gillespie, amidst groaus and hisses that wére almost deafening ; and Dr, Knowlys "spread himself like a green bay tree," in defining the " position" of things, to the amuse- ment of everybody. Messrs. Thompson and Paxton made very effective speeches, in res fating t ts and pressing their claims upon the electors, for which they were cheered to the echo by, at least two-thirds of those in at- tendance. The proceedings terminated with three cheers for the Queen; three for the canditates; and three for the Re: turning Officer.

Sir,--Your cotemporary, the Whitby Gazette, has been quite enthusiastic of late; and after turning numerous summersauls for the amusement of his readers generally, not content with confininghimself to South Ontario politics, like a new fledged convert (not satisfied with home missions) he must become a missionary all the way to North Ontario. Unfortunately for him he is too well known in North Ontario. He had better go further away from home.--"A prophet" is not without honor save in his own country."

A letter from Florence says: "The party of action here and in other parts of Italy is very active, and does not conceal its intention of making an attack on the Papal ter- ritory. Large meetings have taken place in Genoa and other places with the object of organizing Garibaldian expeditions for overthrowing the temporal power. The Government, on the other hand, does its utmost to adhere to the September Conven- tion. Troops are being sent daily in small detachments to reinforce the military cordan on the Roman fron- tier ; the 52nd regiment has proceed: ed to Perugia, and at "ojano a camp is being organized for two divisions of infantry. Even the fleet will not be inactive, although, strictly speak: ing, the convention does not bind the Italian Government to protect the Papal dominions on the side of the sea. The Squadron which was about to be disarmed the other day. at Spezzia; | has now proceeded to Gaeta, from which port it will cruise about the coast in order to prevent the landing. of sGaribaldians.' These arrange- ments are so formidable thatI think there is little chance of an attack on the Papal powers from" without. If, on the other hand, » revolation should break out at Rome, which is by no means improbable, it is pretty certain that the Italian Government will accept the fai accompli,and accomp- * {lish the desire' of the Romans to united 'to the rest of Italy.
