A broken sword near and was lying, His mother's pictufe,a lock of hair; And to his heart he had clasped, while dying, The little crous that she used to wear, Tha" fair young head on the ine, The white face turned to the starlit skies, How still it lay, while strange hands were clos- ing The heavy lids o'er the once bright eyes ! "Twas then we thought how that light foot never Again should beat on the cottage floor ; The jcyous laughter was hushed for ever, Thet blithely rang through the open door 'Twas then we pictured hik mother kneeling To kiss the pillow his dheek had prest ; From happy comrades a pile girl stealing, To sing the songs thutBe loved the best.

HOW THE PEOPLES MONEY IS DISPOSED OF. The Constitution of Canada, embodies in 1ts provisions, as one of the chief cor- dinal points, the following principie set forth in explicit terms ; REPRESENTA. | TION SHALL BE ON THE BASIS | OF POPULATION. Andit is on this | principle that the people rely for a fair | and equitable distribution. of influence | throughout the country ; for be it remem- | berrd that upon representation turns the great key of the public treasury--by this f principleis governed the amount of control | over the public money of the country which | isalloted to. each eonstituensy. For instance, if a population of 4,900 people have one | member, and another population of 30,000 have one member in the House, it must be evident that the four thousand people have equal control in the expendi- ture of the people's money, and much to say about the purpeses for which it shall be expended, as the thirty-thousand have ; so that the latter contributing more than seven times as much to the revenues of the county as the former, and are at the mercy compar- atively of the latter. It was a condition of things such as this that led to the dead-lock in the old Province of Canada, out of which Confederation sprung. It was to remedy this abuse that the people of Ontario accepted Confeder- ation, and that the clause, which placed representation on the basis of Confedera- tion, was made the chief plank on the constitutional platform. There was also another feature of representation which did not require to be inserted in the Con- stitution, which was such a time-honored British institution, which formed such an essential principle of British law, that it did not need to be embodied in the Can- adian charter--a principle whizh forms one of the chief bases in which limited monarchy rests. That principle was that the electoral privilege, the right of the franchise, should only be held by those who possess certain propery qualifica- tions--that only those should have a voice in the expenditure of the public monies, who contribute to public revenues. And this principle, which is one of the great 'contrasting features of our system of gov- ernment as compared with the universal suffrage of the Republican form of Guv- ernment, must be admitted to be a fair and judicious one. It implied that only those should vote who have some stake in the country, some responsibility to | consider, and who in the exercise of the franchise must always know their action affects their own interests as well as the country at Jarge. Well, how has the | Government of Sir John Macdonald treated the constitutional principle of re- presentation by population, 'and the great fundamental British institution of repre. sentation by property! Have they respected the one--have they con- served the uther 1 Have they been carefa! to guard against the Republican universal sufferage doctrine, or have they en- couraged the intreduction of that un- | bility rests with yourselves. British, that pernicions doctrine in the | Dominion of Canada? Let ws see what | they have done. Let us now take two | constituencies of the Dominion, the one | of which shall be South Ontario and the other Yale-Co~tenay, British Columbia. Well we find that th se constituencies are represented in the House of Commons | each ; that the one has equal voice in the expenditure of the revenues collected from the tax-payers of this Dominion with the others ; that Yale Cootenay possesses just as much voice in the disposition of a million of your taxes as does South Ontario. According to the British spirit of justice and fuir play then, the circum- stances in each case ought to be equal. How are they 1 At the last election, in South Ontario, two thousand eight hun- dred and thirty-seven qualified voters sent a. member to Ottawa to watch their interests and speak in their behalf, At the last lootion in Yale-Cootanay (here were,all told, thirty-seven votes --unguali- Sled votes--polled, by virtue of which Mr. Edgar Dewdney, himself without property qualification, sat on the same floor with Mr.Gibbs of South Ontario, possessing an equal vote, and an equal influence over the disposal of the taxes of Ontario ! Why, we can point to a single manufactory in Oshawa which possesses more voters, more population, pays more taxes, and has ten times more stake in the coontry,than the whole constituency--however sure the mark 1--of Yale-Cootenay ! And there are the House of Commons at Ottawa fen of these constituencics represented. Ten mém- bers representing TWENTY IN A DIVISION, representing all told, all combined together, less population, less wealth pay- "fing, less revenne to. she support of the country, than the one riding of South Vutario ! And these two members sit there voting blindly on every question with the Government who placed them there. They know when they record a vote,no matter huw wild the extravagance or how corrupt the motive, that they will have nothing to pay! that it costs them nothing to put a mortgage of millions upon | the credit of the Province of Ontario !! And yet these ten porsons enact Fhe solemn farce of the gross fraud upon the people of | this courty, of sitting there at Ottawa among the representatives of the soverign, Many of them have no subsistence beyond their sessional allowance of $1,000 a year! And Sir John A. Macdonald, when the millions of hard-earned dollars of Or.tario are to be voted away to appease his hungry calls on these ten irresponsible voters-- these ten voting machines of his--these ten contempti le wreiches, and says: look at my twenty of-a majority. Take away these starveling frauds, and John A. wonld have been four in a mmnority at the open: ing of last session ;take away these ten purchased supes of kis, and he would have beea hurled from office by the real repre- sentatives of the ratepayers of the Domin- ion $wenty times during the last session ! And this is the Government which Mr: Gibbs supports ! This is the combination of men, ruling this vast Dominion by suc}, means as this which Mr. Gibbs joins in opposition to right and principle, and in open defiance (Of Ontario's interests. Sir John Macdonald knew when he gave British Columbia sich monstrous repre- sentation, when hé openly violated the British North Ametican Act by so doing, when he introduced Republican univer- sal suffrage into that Province, that he would have to look to these puppets for support. He knew well that public sentiment in the Dominion was against hii : he knew that a wajority of the deputies of the taxpaying white popu- lation of Canada had no confidence in him, and hence he perpetrated this great fraud, this most atrocious outrage upon the people of this Duwinion, of this Pro vince, of this County, that he might keep his hand in the public chest, no mailer what it costs ust True' elect.rs of South Outario, these are indisputable, undeni- able fuc's. Think well over it, reflect upon it ; and after looking at the question in all its monstrosity, if aflier fully com- prehendiug the nature of the men for whose sins Mr. Gibbs says he wishes to be hold responsible; if after fully under- standing what a great huwbug, what a hol- low sham, is the majority which sustains Mr.Gibbs' colleagues in power at your ex- pense, you can give an honest and intelli- gent vote for John A.'s nominee; if you are prepared to exercise your franchise to say that all this monstrous wrong is right, then do so. - Elect him if you will ; but REMEMBER when thé hourof fi- nancial ruin comes upon the country ; when the burden of taxation makes you cry out from one end of the land to the other ; when our national credit is des- troyed, our rational charncter gnve, then remember that it will be yon who will be esponsible, and not Mr. Gibbs. It is you who have the fountain of power, ahd in your hands you have now the weapon-- the franchise--with which you may pro- protect your own rights. You have the right now, and on Monday next you will be called upon to use it.

Mr. Gipss has been charged with casting one of the most grossly unjust put in his qualifications in time. His whole duty was to receive the returns, to tot up the number of votes on this side and on that, and then to declare the can- didate having the majority of votes duly elected. If - the defeated candidate had any grievance he had his legal tribunal, which was not the Returning Office. Mr. Gibbs admits this; M. M. C. Cameron endorsed it last night with his opinion as a lawyer, It is quite clear then, the Re- turning Officer exceeded his duty, and that the case when Parliament opened was not one of a contested election, but one in which the Returning Officers' de- liberate mal-retarn Bad to be remedied, the proper way to proceed in which ease, by all precedent, was to regret the wrong immediately by a vote of the House. Mr. Gipss declared that the whole matter was conducted according to English practices. Let us sa. When Mz: O'Donovan Rossa was elected tu the English House of Commons, although it was a matter of public notoriety that he | was disqualified from sitting, although the returning officors' were cognizant of this, when Rossar received hi¥ majority of votes, hd declared him elected, and he was ejected from the House. English practice has some respect for the sovereign rights of the people. | that they didn't regret the injusticd be- cause it wouldn't be fair to deprive the sitting member, Mr. Cluxton, of his seat in such a wanner' And what is the 'fact again! Why, at chat time Mr. Cluxton And again Mr. Gibbs says | UNION Merting iN OSHAWA. Splendid Reception of Mr. Helden. Mr. Gibbs, Dis ppointed, Loses his = emmer, Another meeting was held here last eveniug, in the drill shed, at which there was's very large attendance. Speeches were delivered by Hon. T. N. Gibbs, M. P., Mr. Holden, Mr. F. W, Glen, Mr. T. P. White, Mr. Larke, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Mackenzie. : . Mr. Cowan occupied the chair, and in- troduced Mr. Gibbs to the meeting, who spoke at considerable length in defence of the oguirse hi had pursued in Parliament, and in 'extennation of his eunduct. with regard to the vote on the Peterboro' case. The difference between that and the case of Mr. Cockburn was great. He said it consisted in the one case that the election had been declared void, and in the other | a return had been made, and in the lat- | ter case Parliament had no right to inter- | fere. The South Renfrew case would te | referred to the proper committee to be | [ tried, and would be legally andl rightfully disp sed off by them.

He entered into a general, definition of the great differences between the Tory and Liberal parties, showing Low the former had always opposed the grest Refurns, and never accepted them until forced to do. and even them, when Re- forms were forced upon them, . and they. were compelled to place them on the -statute br ok, no sooner did they get the h then they enced a reactionary policy 81d deliberatelyjseek to undo all that. the people have done.

Members all present. od, Petitiond® presentsd of John BE. Jones and others,of F.

Nighswander, and others, for a grant on 9th con., at luts 30 & 31. Mr. Brown moved that the Reeve leave the chair for one honr. ba The Council resumed the Reeve in the chair. a The standing committee on petitions and acevnuts reported and recommended appropristions on roads as follows :-- On Oth con., st lots 30 & 31, $50, M. Nighswaader, and E. Cliff, commissioners; on 5th con.} opposite lots 31 & 32, §50, J. Taylor and I. Marr, com. on Greenwood hill, $100, F. Green and P. Larkaw,com:; on side road between lots 8 & 9'in the 8th con., $30, J. McAvoy, com. And your committee would recommend that aid be granted to the following indi. gents till the 31st of December next, as follows: Mrs. Wightman, 50cts per week; Mrs. McKetirick, 70cts per week, M. Allan, 60cts per week; Mrs. Campbell, 75 cts per week; R. Middleton, $1 per week; Widow Young, $1 per week; J.

The following accounts were ordered to be paid :-- John Parker, Widow Campbell and Jawes Johnston, | 831.40; F. Meefi, for aid to Mrs, | McKettrick and Wrightman, $27.40; | Mrs. Wood, for supplying aid to Mrs. | Chapman, $15.75 ; J. and D.

He has been charged with .noting de- liberately to deprive the majority of the electors of a constituency of the Province, of their franchise, by seating a member in the House who had been defeated by a majority at the polls, What is his de- fence! Why, he says his party did all they could do, to do jrstice, that they acted in accordance with British practice, that they could not unseat the man who was unjustly returped, without a fair and deliberate trial. What are the facts, we suppose it will be con- ceded that the Returning Officer had no right to return the candidate who re- ceived the miniority of votes--that he had no right to take the part of a parti- gan, und pronounce » partisan legal judgement on the qualification of the candidates. It ~as not the place to give eect to the quibble undsr which it was falsely alleged that Mr. Brazaax had not McGee, £10.00 ; John Graham, for work on road between Lots No. 11 and 12 in 8th Concession, $50.00 ; John Barnes, for work on road between Lots No. 11 and 12 in 8th Concession, $50.00; Thomas Burk, for work as per order of James L., Palmer, $82.33 ; James Young, for re- gazing sluiceway as per order, John Wilson, 87.60 ; Ira B. Orvis, for work on Kingston road, opposite Lot No. 7, $20.00.

(Load and prolonged cheers.) : Mr. Glen coatended that we wanted to build up a national party, devoid of sectional cries and feelings ; such a party in- his opinion is the party of Johu A. Macdonald, and he Moped the Electors would #oll up a splendid majority for Mr. Gibbs, his nowmines, on Monday next. Mr. T. P. White was :mecvived with cheers. He mid he could well understand the feelings of thuse who groabed, as he knew himself lately what -it was to be defeated. (Cheers). These parties were anticipating their own agonies on Monday next. (Cheers and laughter). Hal fair | play been given at the last election, and the voluntary promise made to him by Mr. Gibbs--that that ro undue -influence [should be used--heen carried out in the good faith in which it was accepted, the result would have been all the other way from what it was.

At this juncture there was some slight inter- ruption, whe" the Chairman, with all the zeal of a rabid partizen, said Mr. White 'evuld rot expect a fair hearing, if he wade such insulting remarks as those, at which there was much laughter and | amusement. He contended that Mr. | Gibbs" pret of independence conld no longer be sustained. He was prepared to prove that Mr. Gibbs had violated the promise that he had made to him at the | last election, with regard t) the expendi- | ture of money. (Cheers). In conclusion he expressed his prediction that Mr. Hol- Mr. Lirke then addressed the meeting, | in a speech characte» A he «vies nersoni- alities and volar | nguaze, 40 such an ox- tent as to catise his frien is to call upon | [him to sit sown, wus he finaly did | with -great reluctance. He charged Mr. { T. P. White with having gone to Dr. | McGill, and endsavored to force money | ont of that gentleman: i Mr. White said the sta'ement was most ungualifiedly untrne. He had never asked nor received a cent from Dr. McGill dur. ing his election, Mr. Wood then briefly went into the questions of the day, proving beyond doubt in the minds of every intelligent man present, that the course, tinancially, of the Macdonald Government was most criminally reckless; and its course, poli- tically, extravagantly corrupt. Mr. Wood was well listened to, an but for the oe- casional interraption of -a few of the ine- vitable " small boy" tribe, his remarks were followed by enthusiastic cheering from the audience. i Me. Rykert then followed, and in a speech composed throughout of the gross' est misrepresentation, the most rocklons un'ruths, eudeavored to omm M- Wood's home Columbia and Manitoba. They had thas , subverted all that the Liber als of Ontario . had worked for and procured in Confeder- ation, and by their own unconstitutional | action, by means of altering our constitu. tion by an accidental majority in the House of Commons, by disregarding the only - safeguard which the people had against - corrupt Government, they, the Tory party. were responsible for creating a sectional feeling, aud reopening those old questions - which were thought to have been settled in - 1867, and done with forever. He showed up some of Mr. Rykert's absurdities, and mistatgments. He then roviowsd som# of, the votes which Mr, Gibbs hal given in the House of Commons, showing that thay gentleman throughout the latter part of his career, at least, had vored steadily for . every bad and corrupt measure of Sir John Macdonald's Government. * { Mr. Gibbs then replied in a gross snd figentl yp } sttack on Mr. | Holden, which we do not think he would cate to have tepeated in these columns. We must make some a lowance for Mr. Gibbs' disappointment at finding so large an adverse feeling in his own town, where he expected to carry everything before him. It is the first aud unly occasion om which, during the campaign he has exceeded the bounds of mcderation and propriety, and when after reflection , he contrasts his treatment of Mr. Holden in Oshawa, with Mr. Holden's treatment of Mr. Gibbs in Whitby, we are sure hey, will regret the occurrence as badly as any one. : The meeting broke ap at half past three o'clock this morning. a pA ---- SOUTH ONTARIO. -- * bd Mr. Rykert Afraid to Address the ; Audience.

(Cheers.) Complaint was made now shat opposition should 'be offered to Mr. Gibbs on this occasion, and thé giound was taken that no opposition was offered to tl.e re-election of Mr. Mowat on a simi occasion ; but the Tories forgot they' rested Mr. Brown in East Toronto, where John Hillyard Cameron was brought out agrinst him and every endeavour was made to secure his rejection.
