bo e Editor. PORT PERRY, OCT. 14, 1875. THE CONTEST. ane . Now that the matter of a new Tloction of 'a Representative 'for North Ontasb in the Local Legisla- . lof and parties' wilkido well to seo that no mistake 18 made in marking the ballot pap- ers. The following as our readers are aware is the form of the ballot paper: py PATHRBON, X PAXTON, ture is fairly before the electors. we, shold judge that nothing ;more were 'necessary in 48a. intelligent qowstitaenty like, this, if not to se, eure the entire vote to-secire at least a very latge majority of the votes, than simply 10 state that the Oppo-- sitfor have got 4 candidate in the field, one who is both able and wil- ling torepresent and promote the best interests of the whole constit- ueney without distinetion of name or party. N. F.Paterson, Esq., has been:chosen standard bearer in the interests of the Opposition and these interests sre identical with * the best 4oterests of "the providoe and of the Dominion. Itis more than likely that 'the Government party will withdraw their candidate as soon as they. learn that the Opposition have got an efficient man in the field.-- "This would only be an aet of justice to the Country and of duty ou their part, atoning as it would in some measure for the great injury they have dove the country during their "blundering and extravagant rule.-- The Government party are well aware that their doom is written, "that their sins bave found them out, that they have been weighed in the balances and found wanting in every ial--h ty, ecanomy, justice and legislative ability;und if the wire pullers and mercenaries for their private interests soek to pro long the misrule and waste to the detriment of the country by again voting for a Ministerial hack it isno reason why the disinterested and honest electors should sanction a & fraud by giving their votes to pro- long a system of plunder which ix ruiping the country and lading the sons of toil with burdens greater than they are able to bear. In days _gone by the Ministerial party by means of arrant duplicity and fraud dubbed themselves the « party of purity, and the Opposition the "party of sorruption ;" and so bra- zen and unscrupulous were their as. sertions and so often repeated that large numbers of the electors were ded to believe these assertions. Now, however, this fraud can no longer be palmed off on an intelligent public. The loadest mouthed detamers »smonget them have been placed in dhe witness box, their abominably ~eorrupt practices placed before them and they obliged to swear guilty! guilty | of every charge from the fittle indiscretion to the most infer- pal apts of the darkest kind of brib- ery and corruption. If there is any reliance to be placed in thedecisions of our courts, the rulling of the Judges, the sworn testimony of the parties implicated, and the int lli- gent voice of the community then , the Government party is emphati- a 1 eally the "party of corruption" ; and . while the Opposition may not be ab- ;solutely pure, they are purity itself ahenplaced im contrast with the Government party. But tLis is not all, If public goonomy, wise legis- lation, fair and honorable dealing to sll sections and parties alike be at alt'desirable then dtibecomes every : inteltigentente payernot only to re- cond.his date batase bis influence to setgwn ther @pposition candidate, -- Tt emmnot be possible that the Gove yiternmentparty seriously contemplate Bs ~wauning their candidate at this time. This is supposing Mr Paxton really goes to the poils, which he ought not todo as he will only cause a world of trouble and expense [to the eleotors ahd serve no good purpose, for. it cannot be that as many electors as will make it worth while for a candidate to stand can pow be found to vote for a gov- ernment candidate since the extrava: wance, reckl andi \g ment of the present government has become so notorious. - But should the government candidate go to the polls and thus necessitate an election, by each elector marking his ballot paper as above i€'will be all Tight, it will elect Mr Paterson 41d" leave the government hack at home--just where he ought to be. - S------------ The Opposition Candidate in the So far Mr. Patterson's Meetings have been highly successful. ' The meeting at Port Perry was largely in his favor and that at Utica was a brilliant success ; the Government supporters had no show as the Op- position carried all before them." Tt is folly for Mr. Paxton, the Govern- ment candidate, to prolong the struggle ; why put the riding to the trouble and expense of a contest while he and all the Government party must know that he has no chance of being returned. > A Plea for Corruption. When one finds that the election of almost every Government candid- ate whose acts or the acts of whose friends have basen subjected to the scrutiny of the * Courts have been declared to' be corrupt, and the 'election voided. When one considers that the govern- ment by their waste and extravag ance, and their miserable conduct of the publie affairs have rendered themselves obncxious to nineteen twentieths of the electors and in order for a government candidate to securo a majority the purchase of votes must form a prominent feature in his canvass, one pities as much ag blames them. If bribery is to be put down Ministerial candidates can't be elected, that's plain. ---- To Correspondents. 'P. M.'=Your question is a sing- ular one and scarcely requires an answer. A party showing a bor- rowed Turkey as his own would be guilty of a most contemptible mean: ness, and so far from getting a prize ooght to be fined for practising an imposition on the public. ---- A Well Merited Compliment. On the 27th ult. the friends of D. McRae, Esq, M. P. P. for North Victoria, had a grand celebration in honor of the .victory achieved by that gentleman in his late contest with Dr Clark for the representa- tion of North Victoria, Friends to the num- ber of between four and five hundred went to his residence took him and placed him in a carriage drawn by four horses. A plendid torchlight p ion was formed when more than one hundred torches were The eq! y of os | Weather has caused considerable A + - bl confusion in our Agricultural Shows making ag ments of frequent occurrance.

' "The nutnbet "of cattle was very good and the quality not: bad, There was a lib- eral supply of buyers and cattle were readily picked npat paying prices. The fair competitors did themselves credit both for the quality and quantity of the but- ter shownall of which in fact might' well claim a first prize for its excellence. In Fat Cattle there were some good ones but we had hoped to see a greater number. The class Driving Horses was well repro- sénted and a pretty sharp contest arose the display was highly interesting if not amus- ing. Tinie however went off in geed style and wound up a successful show. i say Parties wishing a continua- tion of extravagance, increasing burdens and blundering waste in the Government of the country will vote for all those by supportin u i] a Government candidate. 1 Liberal Conservative Convention, A Convention of Liberal Conser- vative delegates met at Sunderland on Friday the Sth inst, for the purpose of selecting a candidate favorable to the principles of the Opposition and good government. Dr. Gillespie, president of the Central Association, took the chair and called the meeting to order.-- The number present was somewhat slight at first but as proceedings advanced parties came in until the gathering assumed somewhat large proportions. "The president in a neat and judici- ous address opened proceedings dwelling with warmth on the duty of the hour, on the necessity for de- termined and united action and the utmost caution against either word or action of an improper nature, recommending that every inch of the ground be contested but contest. ed honorably. Tho list of delegates was now called and those present having answered to their names nomina- tions were proceeded with. Several nominations were made but all de- clined till the list was reduced to two Geo. St. John, Esq., of 'Reach and N. F. Paterson, Esq., of Beaver- ton, for whom ballots were then Paterson had a majority; the vote was then made unanimous and Mr. Paterson was declared the candidate for the representation of North Ontario in the Loeal Legislature. The chairman in announcing the result of the ballot urged united action. Several others followed in a simi- lar strain all of them dwelling not only on the propriety but the ablaze the was The procession was preceded by the Beaverton Brass Band.

In the shows of the present season the scarcity, wes had almost said' absence, of Blankets proves that our lady friends expect that thé coming winter nights sre to be of an answally mild character.

His creative powers were such that he had only to breathe upon the loaves and fishes and they so in- do credit to any city in the Dominion. At the further end of the hall, the Uxbridge Cabinet and Organ Factory had two fine instruments The. Superiority of the instruments turned creased that after feeding thousands more fragments were taken up than the whole was out of this factory is now admitted wherever they are shown and few now care about at first ; yet he himself frequently -bungered and bis disciples had to go to the village to showing agpinst them, Mr. Burnham, Sund- crland, showed some splendid hainess,-- buy something to cat. He had full control over life and death, he could stop the bier and command the widow's dvad son to arise and he restored him to his mother for her protection and support ; it was no trouble to him to raise to life bis dear friend Lazarus notwithstanding that he had been dead four days and already the work of decomposition had commenced upon his mortal remains. -- But wkile thus he could restore life, he had » escape for bis cy [Hy by exercigingphis The Bundcrland Cabinet Factory showed some good furniture. The stove and furni- ture show was from the establishment of Mr Membery, Sunderland. The contest in the boot and shoe department was between Meessrs Sheehy and Arnold.

But when the speaker comes to speak of the 'Saviour pessing into the hands of his enemies the fire burned more and more and none but those who heard hiw can have any idea of the solemnity of 'the scene, the description is so vijid that one could almost imagine he saw iff cnacted ; one sees the cross laid down, Jesuff fist bound and then nailed to it, and one most hear the nails as they are passi flesh, and when the cross is rais perpendicular one trinmphant shout ot dev- ils and men who suppose that they have crushedChristianity seemed still to echo from the little mount. The speaker now divided the subject into three heads : 1st, The place ofthe transfig- uration. 2nd, Some of the associations con- nected with it. 3rd, Some of the lessons to be drawn from it, The speaker in referring to the place said it was a monutain and Christ frequently sought the mountain heights for the purpose of prayer, and we are told of his continuing on a mountain all night in prayer to God, and what did he pray for ? He prayed for the peace, prosperity and final triumph of bis church: He remarked that authors were not agreed as to which mountain was the scene of trapsfiguration, but it was most generally allowed that Tabor was most like- the mountain, The speaker gave a brief but interesting description and history of the mount, referring to the two churches built on it early in the Christian era ; their being taked by Baladin, the Saracenic General; their being retaken 7 ycars after by the first Crusaders and their final capture and de. struction and the worshippers being put to the sword by the Mahomedans. One of the associations connceted with the event is the greatness of the scene of the The show of fruit was neither so plentiful nor so good as we have seen here, but the season has got scmething to do with that. The chow of dairy produce was grand, some twentythree baskets and a dozen tubs, over 1000 10s of as excellent better as is to be found in the Province, the fair butter makers havo reason to focl proud of their work. In the matter of Bread there were I8 competitors and we think the Judges had their hands full in deciding which was best The show of Jellies, Preserves, &o. &c. was extensive and good. The ladies' needles have not buen idle and they have reasons to feel proud of the results ; the Quilts, Cover- lets, mats and Fancy Work attests the in- dustry as well as the skill of the fair ones.

In fact it would be transfiguration, aud whoever imagines that human language can describe or imaginati paint poything of the grandeur of the trans- figuration he is greatly mistaken ; it cannot enter into the heart of man to conceive of it, Another of the associations is the parties who were there--Moses and Elias were there, | Here the speaker gave a brief history of some of the more important events of the 'latter period of the life of Moses and how appro- priate it was for him to be there. 'I'he speaker now turned to the history, of Elijah and gave us a vigorous though brief sketth of the closing scenes of his earthly career up to his translation, He said that all commen- tators that he had consulted on this point agree in saving. that the Elias prese was the Elijah of old. But even fn the of all these he considers the Elias referred to here is no other than John the Baptist. -- The speaker went on to strengthen his posi- over it and would do what he could to elect Mr. Paterson.

Sir,~The Uxbridge Journal in a late issue contained a 'melanchol Hedant of the sudden Gently of Mr. enderson, a much esteemed resi- dent 4 4 'this place, by taking an overdose * of, rulphatd: of morph Vip Be ampors A Regarding that article, sir, space for few words. = ry The Journal stated that '¢ Mr.-Hendersoo, between 3 and 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, called at Mr, Weeks" drug store, and procured 56 grains of sul- phate of morphia." . And again the Journal says: " We are informed "that the deceased was: "a confirmed opium eater, which accounts for his use of Morphia, which is from. opium, and 'produces the same results, only being more effective than the latter." Again, apparently 'by way of throwing the shield of its protection. * over Mr. Weeks, the Journal says: "Mr. Weeks considered thé" quantity large, but knowing that Henderson was in the habit of using it, and as he talked so intelli~ gently of the dose and effects of the medi- cine, stating the quantity he took at a'dose, and that he had to take it almost daily, Mr. Weeks had no hesitation in letting him have the quantity he asked tor." Here we have the facts alleged that this Mr. Henderson was a "con- firmed eater of opium," that Mr. Weeks knew he was adicted to its use daily, and yet that Mr. Weeks bad no hesitation in supplying him with the deadly drug. with hich to satisfy the cravings of a perverted appetite. And now sir, I would ask wherein lies the difference in the conduct of the tavern-keeper who supplies the drunkard with the "liquid poison' and that of Mr. Weeks supplying Mr. Henderson with that which was fast destroying his health and ha piness, and which ultimately sehds him into eternity ? The circumstances as alluded to in the Journal instead of pallinting Mr. Weeks' conduct aggrevate it ten-fold. ere we have this great advocate of " Temperafice" so ealled, who would vehemently denounce the tavern-keeper who might sell a dram of liquor to one whom he knew to be addicted to the use:of it --this virulent assailant of every man who honestly refuses to u- late his habits according to "teetotal principles" and _ of everyone who- trafficks in Liguor--bimself trafficking for gain in a poison pre deadly in its nature and effects, than tae strongest liquor ever distilled. What would this great moral re-- generator and lecturer say had an overdose of whisky been given to Mr. Henderson by ihe landlord of ° the hotel where ho wassojourning? But I forget, it was not whisky, it was , only morphia--it was not got at a tavern but only at a "drug store' -- it was not given by an * accursed tavern-keeper," but by a champion of the holy cause of "Tem; t" This is the difference and 'a difference with a vengdanée it is. Is this Mr. Weeks the same gen- - tlehan who was taking an aetive part in, and. was one of the speakers ~ ab the ' Prohibition Convention'" held at Montreal the other day? Could you throw any light on tho darkness that envelops this sad case * and tell us why "the customary= "Inquest" was not held on" the body of the decensed Mr. Henderson ? can assure' you sir, that, public opinion will not be satisfied titl this is done. Nl : You will see * that I' have assumed the Journal's story to be correct, but there is not the slightest tittle of evidence' to show. that Mr. Henderson took an oversdese other- wis than' through. geaident.. This 08st likely, as Mr. H. was! wdry absent minded: However this éanniet alter the jinconsiste Weeks! cobdubts i 7. Yours respectfully, 1. : PHILANTHROPIST. P.-8.
