i [ie A It is surely bearing foo much on "the credulity or simplicity of the public, pressing a little too huavily upon the broad-backed, cusily pid srgiveness of the over- Bur taxpayers to have the Mowat Government and party try- ing again to impose upon them and flatter them into giving a new lease of power toa batch of 'wasteful in- rompetents whose greed of the filthy lucre is laying burdens on the rate- payers unnecessarily oppressive. -- 'We do not believe that there can be found anywhere in this fuir province a score of electors who have the interest of the country at heart and who may not be participating in the fruits of the Mowat Government #poils, who will again give their vote to sustain the Mowat party. It is nothing short of rank impertinence in these men daring to approach the electors and crave their support for another term. Arc these men not yet satisfied with the mischief they have already accomplished und the humiliation they have brought on the Province, without attempting to prolong their disnstrous rute ani thus sink the Province still further.

The 17th September will always be regarded with pride by the honest wand independent electors of this great Dominion as evidence of a better state of things at our elections iin tuture, proving us it does that the free and independent electors dhrougi,out the Dominion ean no . "longer be induced, even by the cry of party, to continue their support to a worthless, recreant nnd wasteful government, that while the inde- poodent electors may love their Jurty ard party men they love their country more and will rather throw party to the winds than sasetion continuance of incompeteat and ex- travagant government like that of Mackenzie & Co. But ro blind and indifferent to the best interests of the country are the members of the Mowat Government that they did their little best to secure a contin- uance of the Mackenzie misrule, and not satisfied with voting for a con tinuanes of that burlesque which 'was rapidly sappiag the very found- ation of our country's hope they even took the stump and backed up and joined in the mis representations of the Mackenzie party. But bird: of a feather flock together" and the little government of Mr. Mowat is no Jess reckless and extravagant in pro- portion to their opportunities than the big government of Mr. Muck- enzie was in proportion to their's, We would not libel the intelligence of our readers by attempting to point out the many instances in which the Mowat Government have betrayed the trust reposed in them in coneequence of which they have forfeited all claim to the con- fidence of the people. Like Muck- ensie and his government Brother Mowat and his government most decidedly obtuined office under false pretences and when the electors vome to deal with them they will teach them a lesson similar to that taught the Muckenzie gang by banding them over to the tender mercies of Charon and his dog Cer- berus on the lea side of the river Btyx in the freezing cold shades of the Opposition where there shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of their political teeth.

So that our Civil | Seryige costs us about 813,000 a year 'more than the John 8. Government paid for that depart ment. But itis needless to particul- arize for the Mowat Government has been a failure in every department. | Not satisfied with' hs rapidity with | which oor valuable timbers were being slashed and wasted the Mowat Government in order to facilitate the destruction threw 5,000 square miles of vur best timbered lands on the market, thus recklessly sqnander ing our principal, xlmost our only source of revenue, and hastening the introduction of. diredt taxation for provincial puposes, "The o Toren Ges Ottawa cor- respondent br, Wyn insi is. thie intention fof the' How Governe ment tointroduce into the Dominion that greatest of all* European nuis- The new Government will certainly not at- tempt anything so foolish, the ex- istence of any Government, we care not how popular they may be, would rot be worth a week's purchase were it to attempt any thing so stupid. -- If the taxpayers of Europe are will- ing to tug, toil and sweat away each one with an idle soldier on his back unces--a standing army. they may go on, Government nor another will suc- ceed in imposing such a burden on Canadians, and it becomes the toil- but neither one ing ones to resist the first attempt.

The elections of the 17th Sentember go to prove for all time to come that the electors are willing at any moment to trample party in the dust when the interests of the country demand it.

E. H. Pilcher, D. D., of St. Thomas preached two appropriate and impressive sermons to large and attentive cengregations, The services on Mondny were confined to the evening and while the weather was cer- tainly unpropitious a goodly number turned out to take part in the anniversary services and enjoy the entertainment. The ladies of the congregation had a sumptuous spread prepared for their guests not alone your or, | dinary dainties generally furnished on sich occasions * but all these and | an abundant supply of choice fowl &c., in addition to the dainties. This part of the entertainment was served in the basement of the church, a cosey, comfortable place and well adapted for such purposes.
