hat put forth this last effusion it is evident ho does not expect a reply and we should it by if it were not for the lie it cor and if all that we had ever r had from hands of th keeper of an alms house wo should sit under an untruth and allow it lo pai unnoticed Why does Jackson say that the article under the editorial heading is from the same pen meaning lost week lo the week before and trying to make bis readers believe written by the party who wrote a letter signed Another Old Reformer same issue It is very plain why his motive is juBt plain in this instance and as transparent as all the rest of the motives he has exhibited throughout The and short of the matter is this lie has failed utterly to produce a single proof asked for so many times to sub- assertions he has put forth he has used all tho loose language ho could command without making himself appear perfectly rediculous in the face of all un prejudiced rightthinking people he has taken a false foundation to work upon from first to last cud now here where tho laugh comes in sooner than the reptile warmed into life beneath his he- should have credit of sue- fully refuting all his trash he would rather give it to some other party any body it does not matter who We have we wanted to show to our satisfaction our ideas are before the public and they will judge of them for themselves how far we are right in tho matter Our paper is termed a no- party by Mr Jackson Noparty will stand for independence we are satisfied with the term and with Mr Jackson eall- ing his a party paper too We our track to be kept clear of unwarranted meddling and mischief making and if t little soul he unable to fair play at his hands we are not afraid of at the bands of the pub lic If our dents are deserving of censure from Mr Jackson let him them with all the power he able but do not endeavour to mix us up with what they may have to say What we have got to say we know how to it and where to put it when it is said with out any interference on the part of Mr QUEERS As yet there has been nothing whatever in this place towards getting up a celebration for the coming 24th If there be anything there is little for preparation and it ought gone into this week or not all easy matter to call a public meeting for Friday evening and see what is if agreed to celebrate the day as we ought by all means could then be formed that work up the arrangements taking selection to put on men only aim and object would bo to get up a days sport worthy of a visit from the surrounding is least fear but that ample funds can

Thursday 9 Sir John passed an easier nigh more this morning A of Sense The Fenian party and a portion of the American press urging tbo ment of the United States to prevent passago of oil Canadian through the canal at St Marie thereby pub- ting a stop to traffic between Lakes Huron and Superior Should this plan be adopt there will be complications enough the two countries in a short time for Canada can Stop canals as well as the Slates and somebody would eoob cry out with a vengeance However there are some papers take a more liberal view and below we give the opinion of the Neither Great Britain nor the Dominion of asked of our Government permission to march troops or convey supplies over United States territory to Winnipeg though a considerable number of journals have deemed it necessary to bully those powers in anticipation that they may Perhaps it will becom ing to our national dignity to defer refus ing permission till it is There are that the Canadian Government i ask such a thing But it is also suspected that Canadian commercial vessels will pass through the St Marys Ship to Lake Superior and these may be used for transporting troops and supplies for the Winnipeg expedition or that they may carry innocent provisions which afterward will become military sup plies by a transfer to the Government Therefore it widely and wildly proposed shall prohibit any fl from passing through the canal This would be a radical preventive and it is doubtful if anything short of be radicrl For an expedition of men will have large connections with the trade in provisions and And much may be done in the way of supply ing that expedition by free trade through the canal to goods owned by private persons and in private vessels without doubt much might he done by both parties- to make their relations very annoying am hostilities But we whether there is anything peg French play of revolt posed Fenian to ourselves any serious injury The larjre commerce between the upper bate

undone Does it show a spirit of conciliation to meet us continually calling us by names that would embitter the least sensitive minds One would think we were too who had injured instead of having Rather let Canadian Press indulge in a more conned cease condemning and misnaming a who have them any harm We only one word to our pie before we finish Let all and creeds remember that our caueo of
