One of the ¢laims put forward by the Torontn organ of the def anct Ministry, in behalf of Sir John Macdonald a his followers, is that they. constitute the 'party of gentlemen." All others are thieves, rogues, irritated banditti, &e. No one can bea gentleman par excellence, unless he is fully willing at all times and on all occasions to swallow the ex-Pre- mier. We speak fijuratively. In this democratic country, where it is dr high- est pride to boast of our equality, this pseudo aristocratic ery is rather amusing to say the least of it, yet even that plea, we fear, if examined junto, will turn out to be as ill founded as "many others that have been set up by " Canada's greatest statesman." We cannot suppose that the gentlemen's party wish to Le considered ' geutlemen" 'in. that sense of the word which would wean aristocracy, or that they would lay any ciaim to be considered of better birth and blood than their fel- lows, for even among, the greatest *' gen- tlemen" of them all, we find the shoe- makers, carpenters, illers, ete., of not very long age.

We give below the opinions of the lead- ing Euglish journals on the * Pacific Scandal," given since the resignation of | the Maenodald--Allan | Ministry. We | will briefly point out one or two lessons j which way be gathored from these criti | cisms of the English Press, criticisms which cannot but be regarded as of the { strictest impartiality, and given with as | full a knowledge as can be obtained of the events which have transpired up to the change of Ministry. The most important point is the general exnwession that the | Canadian Parliament is still bound to prusecute the enquiry which it had noder- { taken. With this we cordially agree. It is the duty of the comntry not only to re- wove its confidence from the corrupt Min- istry, bat to punish those who have sinn- | ed su shamulessly agminst their country, | and against every consideration of de- ! cency and honor, and wiatever impulse | of pity towards the humitiated Ministers | may have arisen is removed by the open and shameless effrontery with which the vapquished stilt defy every honorable in- | have set in so strongly against the Gov- ut, that Sir John Maclovaid and leagues have resigned r : and the Governor-General has. cf Mr. Ma kenzie with the formotion of a new Muistry. This event will reheve Lord Dufferin from the very painful nocessity of ncling in cohcert with men over whose heads such serious accusations were handing. But it is not easy to un- derstand why a step obviously called for so imperatively by every consideration of dignity and decency wa« so long delay- ed. It, when the McMullen correspon- dence was first brought to light, the Gov- ernment at Ottawa had consulted the in- terests of tte Dominion by -perference to their sewn, they would have ext | representatives of the Crown from a posi- tion of the grestest embarremment ; the constitutional gnarrel in regard to the prorogation need never have arisen ; and the enquiry in'o the conduct of Sir John Macdonald and lris colleague, which has been rendered futile by the refusal of the Opposition to lay there evidence before the Royal Comminsion, would have been carried on with the assent of all parties to the controversy. And this the Ministry wight have done without making any com- promising almissjons. LI -------- REPUDIATED. The Vindicitor repudiates the gentle- ern his et, and glory "even in their onor.

The late Minister of Marine and Fish- cries, at the recent banquet to John A. v:here the faithful were called together to vjedge their fuith to John.

Saidbe : ** As * » Liberal, I represent my province ; ** my reeord is purely Liberal, and I caa- jot afford to merge myself ip the Con- Servalive party."

The Canadian Ministry lave resigned. During the debate on the address, which { extended over eight sittings, Sir Johu | Macdonald and his colleagues could not { help perceiving that a vote of censure was | imminent, snd accordingly retired from the posts from which they would so short. ly have been dislodged. We do not see what other course was left to them, The | us the view entertained hy the Ministry | of their own conduct. They placed thewn- sclves in the most favorable position. Aud it is from this ground of their own | election they have now been forced to withdraw. The cou pex os of the scan dal has not been essentially altered by the report of the Royal Commissioners. Ac. cording to Sir John Macdonald him self, funds were needed for an impending | political contest, and Sir George Cartie: | was instructed to proeure them iu the best | i way he could. Among others, Le applied | to Sir Hugh Allan, trom whom, for the as sistance of the Ministry in the electiors, { ho resvived nearly £80,000. But eapital- ists and promoters like Sit Hugh Allan and his frieuds do not usaally part with such a large sum without a "cousidera sion." And they nemally prefer a guid pie gwo te the sentimental gratitude of | auy Ministry. Sir Hugh Allan and his coufederate eapitalists received by charter La contract of must vahmable character for the construction of the Canadian Pacific | Railway. Whether this charter wad grant- | ed in the consideration of the money ad- vanced in aid of the Ministerialist/ party | during the general election of ISTZ & the | only question at issne. There was me | distinct compact, but Sir John Macdonald | admits that Sir Hugh Allan, while endeav- | oring tu sectre the contract, advanced the sun stated in the interest of the Minister- inlists. At thesame time he repudiates any connection becween the granting of | the charter and the expenditure of the | £20,000. The late leader of the Canadian | | Parliament professes that he his no scru- !'ples of political conscienes for what he [ did, and we entr well believe him. His excuse is that, as the Canadians have ne | Reform Chal, the leaders of parties wust | ot pecuniary assistance vhere they can. | This native confession world lead ws to the | belief that Canadian politics are af present | in the position of the English politics at the time oi Walpole, were it not for the action of the Canadian Legislature. Whatever views of political purity the fate Ministry | entertained, the Canadian House of Com- { mons has explicitly declared its opinion | that trafficking for pecuniary sid at elec- | tions is & venial crime. | 'The Times says: * There is mo proof, | indeed, and we mmy profess our Lelicf | that none is likely to be forthcoming, of | & corrupt agreement between Sir Juha | Macdonald's Cabinet and the capitalists { represo.ted by Sir Hugh Allgn. It is even | rendered most improbable thay the eharter | finally zeanted could have been given in satisfaction of suek aa agreement, and the { charge thaé Canadian interests had been | bavbered away to "alien" adventures has { as yet been smpported by no evidence. | But what has been proved and avowed {is im our judgement bad enough. Sir § Joon Macdonald, in explanation of his | conduct--we do not say in exculpation, for he seems to think that 1) excuse is { required--says, 'I got pecuniary assist | ance where he could. In Canada we have not the sane organizstsonr thas they have in England, we have neither »# Reform Club nor a Carlton Club to manage elee- | | tions, and the leaders Rave to undertake { that for themselves." Fo thought there- | fore, that he was mercly doing what was | guite consistent with the personal dignity as well as the political dutics of a Prime | Minister, when he wrote himself and got his' colleagires to write for assivtange in money to & wan who was tendering for a | great public work, and pressing the Gov. | ernsient to gmnt him the contract.

A great meeting was held in Napanee yesterday, to hear Mr. Cartwright. The hall was crowded to suffocation, and al- most every man present was a bona flde voler, many farmers having come fifteen or twenty miles to be present. Probably six or seven hundred actual voters were on the ground. Mr. Cartwright made a capital speech of nearly two hours' length, reviewing his whole political career, and | »nalysed Sir John A Macdodald's course | from 1854 downwards.
