But the balances must be brought out, and each tried according to the standard of our own particular judgments. In all contests there is generally one or more sham people, but whose insignicancc forbid criticism.

But speaking of election matters, it is curious to look, back upon-parties as they existed in distinct eras, since North Simcoe has beeome an independent electoral district. How changed are men and their professions. In 1854 Clear Grittism, had a name and -a party-yes, and a newspaper organ too, the North ./Imerican, edited by the present. member for North Oxford, Mr. Wm. McDougall. As leadersand parliamentary representatives, it had John Rolph, Peter Perry, Caleb Hopkins, Malcolm Cameron occasionally, and others. But being small, we supposed they were despised,eIal- though in Lower Canada `at that time they had the promise of a powerful alliance with the Rouge party, However, it had not extended its inu- ence to North Simcoe, and the Clear Grit camp was overlooked in the choice of a candidate. Again, at this time, Mr. Brown was doing man- fully for the high Tory party, although not His reputation was also at the lowest ebb, being unable to act a part other than that of the Ishmaelile, for he was yet writhing under the refusal of the Baldwin Government to supply the extortions which he made on them in behalf of his `newspaper. Brown, therefore, and his`wing, was not thought of for the honor of , supplying a representative for North Simcoe. After all, there were only twoclearly defined parties in Upper Cannda-Conscrvative and" Re- former, and certainly "only two in this part of the country. Before 9. Convention of Reformers was held, feelers were thrown out in several quarters. Among others, Dr. Connor came under review, but was summarily. rejected because of his want of political tone, though he has since risen to eminence asia Solicitor-General in Mr. Brown's compact. By-and-by the Reformers in Convention - `decided upon our present member as their choice; "the Conservatives adopting the then Warden of the County, Mr. Jas. Stfnson. The contest was purely_one of names-the Hincks Government was popular, and Mr. Morrison by a majority of 47 only was returned. ` !ete-a-telea with the ardor of most devoted swains. A No Pelham Peckham Podge could be more assidu- In a subsequent election, a wing of the Reform party had grown tired of party alliance, and thought they discovered in Mr. Brown the sun _that was to eclipse the progressive statesmen of their party. Mr. Morrison was catechised as to his affinity for the supposed coming man, but de- clared he had not felt the ame that had moved the hearts of his catcclrisers. Here may be said to have occurred the first romantic incident in the' pai'ty-love for Mr. Brown, and jealousy for .\Ir_ Morrison, lending to a secession-o1d ties were rup- tured, and in much haste Mr. T. D. .\lcConkey was announced `as the gay Lothario that was to woo and win the fair hearts of North Simcoe. For a few days matters thus wore on, Morrison and McConkey were deadly rivals, each doing their ous than was Morrison--no Roderigo more on tip- toe than McOonkey. But why protract- faint heart never wins-at a time when the marriage bell was about to chime Mr. McGonkey s buckram gave out, leaving his rival to enjoy` the fruits of honourable conquest. At the succeeding stage, and the latest, the rivalship was -renewed, and three proferred their willing hands, but afterwards reduced to two, Morrison against Boulton. The claims of the latter gentleman were hard to be understood; but the pertinacious spirit of Toodles was never more admirably manifested than by him, for he paid and received addresses up to the time of Morrison being a third time declared the successful man.

Con- 5 trasting the feeling of 1854 with .the present time 1 1 _we might fairly argue that public sentiment has ` States has been established, and a host of minor 'n'iatters,attended to that were neglected whoa` merged into a common focus-party divisions are divested of their rancor, and whatever is for the local or general weal, men of all names agree in supporting. This is the feeling, we believe, that generally obtains, and which we shall strive to cultivate. Within Mr. Morrison's Parliamentary ` career, all and every of the exciting questions . ` have been settled, generally satisfactory to the ` country. _The Clergy Reserves is no longeriai stalking horse--the Seignorial Tenure been wiped out by means of the Clear Grit local fund-the Schootquestion is barren in material for giving! stupid legislators prorninence-the expensive 1 machinery of travelling Parliaments have been abolish_ed-- Reciprocal trade with the Unitedi, partisanship ruled, and Government enjoyed their tenure of oilice only so long as they paraded their * distinctive colors. - Elections are no longer a , terror in the_country-every man` records his vote `with independence and security. Bludgeons are unnecessary to-defend a conscientious exercise of -the franchise; and those who love order and pros- perity will hardly think it worth while to culti- - i [vatea return to the heroic times when feuds and `ghts were the sure accompaniments ot` a general election.

Somechurches - have already dispensed with _the custom and There is one singular custom in the churches of New England that often produces great in`- convenience and no little disturbanee.-We allude to the -idea that the extremity of the pew is the seat of honor and must invariably be given to the ladies. .It is_ usually cou- ceded to the female head of the family. So powerful is this custom that if a lady comes in late and wishes a seat, every gentleman in the slip-or pew must leave it and parade o'ut.into the aisle to give her this coveted post of honor. There seems now no reason for this custom, and it should be given up. When the custom originated there was a powerful reason for it. When the assembled, worshipers,mightbeatticked by the Indians in the very moment of devotion, and when for purposes of defence the male members took their muskets to church, it was very proper that they should havethe front of the pew to rush at once to repel the attack._---'I'hen- the inner seat was the seat of comparative safety. That was given to the matron, who gathered the young children around her. The father, of ' necessity took the head of the pew, with his grown up, stalwart sons next him, each with his musket before him. They never kneeled unsafe position. it must have been aigrand spectacle to see those calmly heroic men, their muskets, with their eyesand theirears open not only to their pastor, but to the pos- sible attacks of their foes. Thus originated a custom of arranging the occupants ot a pew, which has become from habit, useless and nds it saves much confusion. -- ,,Iv, , IIIIUU It DRIVE Illllvll Irv uuuuuuu -v `A Novn.

The matter will not be thus quietly passed over. It suits Mr. Brown : purposes, nodoubt, to preserve silence ; but the public know that silence in such circumstances `is tantamount to an acknowledgment of guilt. And the trafficking of Parliamentary position which the transaction involves, is too gross, even for the Opposition leader, to beallowed toesleep. It must- be probed to thebottom. Meanwhile it is remembered" that, on his own showing, Mr. Brown received a large sum of money from Messrs. Allen 81.

But in this point of VXBW how completely they sink into insigni- cance when compared with the Great Eastern steamship! I-low vast is the mass of accumu- lated knowledge that has been used in the construction of this fabric! It is said that $500,000 were expended in experiments to de- termine the proper thickness of the iron plates ` to be used in the several parts or the Menai Bridge; and that bridge was very literally the harbinger of the Great Eastern. But these experiments furnished but an inconsiderable fraction of the knowledge of materials which - has been employed in this structure. The en- gineers would have deemed it an unpardon- able neglect for them to have been ignorant of * the results of any of the numerous experi- ments which have been made in various parts ` of the world to test the strength or any of the properties of any materials-,which might pos- -sibly have beenused in any part of the fabric. None but those familiar with inventions in this department can form any idea of the im- mense amount of study and experiment which have been devoted to the smelting, the harn- mering, rolling, heating, hending, punching and shearing of iron. With all this accumu- lated knowledge, how great was the mental labor required to determine the form and di- mensions of every one of the numerous beams, and of the thousand plates in this ship! Such with other works, if she were to remain sta- tionary on solid foundations`; but the 12,000 runs of iron of which she is composed are des- tined tooat on the li uidocean; she is to plow her `way through 1 e billows, to rise and fall with the tide, and topass her life as a drop of theses! It isin the know'ledge;8tid thought. which have been combined to produce and di- rect this moti6n,thatthe Great Eastern leaves the works of `ancient. wonder entirely out of comparison. `In order to determine the side of .the hoilers',oo`adi1cting pipes,.valves and air- pumps, "how numerous, careful and laborious have_been the experiptents upon the evapora- tion of w`aTer, the press'IfI_[o'of ,-steam at various temperatures, the absorption of. incondensible gases `by water, anrtthe hundreds of other mat- ters which we havefnot space even to enu- merate.
