evidence in that tho editor of the Era wishes to make the a party paper and if downright lying will do it thero is not a man in North York who will try harder than ho to gain this end He has got the feeling of monopoly and self- interest mixed up in his constitution to such an extent as to cause him to think and to bis readers that should an other paper exist in this community his must surely go Had wo intended to publish a paity paper wo would have announced such intention and although of the readers of tho Era may believe Mr Jacksons mere assertions that such ib it does not alter the fact that such Is not the case His object to be is as plain as plain can be and that by putting the Courier in any position may think proper and giving it the me of tory or conservative or any her name that in his opinion will injure in the eyes of a strong party thus seek to prejudice a portion of the public in his favour The great beauty of the fact is that all this sneaking underhand clap- by honest audit- forward dealing and truthfulness and in proof of which we challenge the Si my of its or our readers to show a single in the where we have deviated from the we laid down for its lie beginning Let the Era take it is a party paper and its editor innounces it as suchj we have nothing to do with what it announces Itself why not give us the privilege to say that the Cou rier is not a party paper but is ready and willing at all times to give freedom and truth to both sides of the question this has been our aim and will be whatever Jackson may assert to the contrary to the end Last week Another Old Reformer sent us a communication for insertion This communication took Mr Jackson and Conventions and Committees severely to task on certain points in some of which agree especially with regard to representatives being chosen by Con ventions we believe and will always ad- representatives of a people should be chosen by the body of the peo ple over whom they are to rule and for they assist in making laws whereby they will have to be governed Had the take Old band no one would have found fault but likely not bis way clear in t be resorts to bis old style of pa The Courier is
