Everything depends upon the skill, the energy and integrity ot the men into whose hands we entrust the responsibility of setting the machine in motion. The materials have all boen prepared ; but they have to be collected ; fitted up and put in working order by skilful hands. If this is not done a speedy stand still or a break dewn may be the result, or what is still worse, a wickly irregular hobble may take the place of that healthy, regular, rapid motion for which the machine is so well calculated. And fiere let us enquire what is our duty in the premises. Obviously our first duly is 10 see that the men we select for this work are men of honor and ability. Untarvished honor and unflinching integ- rity are of the very first importance, but good ability is a sine qua non. We must avoid both the good honest trusty incompe- tent, and the talented knave.

British -Canada is little more 'than a century old ; but though young in years, she has had great experience, and considerable Aacility in changing her mode of 'Govern- ament, or altering her constitution. 'Daring the early period of 'her British connection, «he made on an average, an entire summer- s@t once every eight years. For the first three years of her connection, she was ruled' by Martial Law, During the next ten years, amost tyrannical Military rule pravail- ed, Then forthe next seventeen years a ciwl government of the most rigorous kind, disgraced the countiy. Towards the close of 1,791, a fourth change look place, by separating Upper fiom Lower Canada, and giving a constitution to each. Previous to' this the united Canadas was called the Province of Quebec. After the division the two parts were named sespectively Up- per Canada, gnd Lower Canada. A Legis- lative Council and a House of Assembly were established ia both. The Council in Lower Canada was No coneist of at least filteen members, and that of Upper Canada -of seven members. | These were all ap- pointed by the crown, pnd for life. The members of the assembly were elective. There were not to bg fewer than 50 for Lower, and .16 fof Upper Canada. The Executive consisted of the Governor and 11 members appointed by the crown. They were nbt responsible to the people. This system of Government had not been long in existence, before it began to manifost uni- quivooal signs of corruption. A clique--4 family eompact~a lot of Barnacles had crept into office. A Codfish Aristocracy banded together, and frowned down every aspirant forpolitieal honors. All places of power or emolument, were in the hands of this family compaet, and in common with all other Barnacles, they united toget!ier to punish an impertinent Editor, who honestly tried to lay bare their corruptions. Matters wenl on in this way 1ill about 48 years from the time when the two provinces were se- parated. The tyranny could be borne no 1 mger the consequence was, that anoths ; change was demanded and in 1840, J" o and Lower Canada were again gam bye der 8ne Governmafit § acd th¥, ovenimen was made reipon.gble © "(he people.

It is not a sufficient recommendation to a candidate that he 1s a Conservative of the moet ort, bodox stamp--a Reformer of long standing- --a Grit of the clearest water--or a Rad of the most advanced school. Either ofthese w hen sincere deserve credit as far as their sinc 'erity goes, but either of these per se would be a rather slim recommenda- tion.

The darling remnant of barbarism seems too sweet 10 be let go; and even when a legitimate majority of the members of the House of Commons vote the praclice an abomination, and order its discontinuance such a vote is entirely ignored. It appears that we foolishly jump- ed at the conclusion which by the by, was a natural one seeing a majority of the people's representalives had said that the practice should be discontinued; we suspected no Government would dare to say that they disregarded the wiehes and vole of the ma- jority, and notwithstanding the adverse vote the Government meant to hug the monster and retain the brutalizing practice of lacer- ating the backs of the poor soldier and sailor. with the way m which the school is con- sober though I had drank some. | knew what I was doing. » Arexaxorr McKenzie. -- I hve in Thorah, am proprietor of the Greenbush."

And why the difference ? In the first instance men of integrity alone are intrusted with the funds of the Bank of Commerce while in all these doubtful con- erns the hand of the mercenary clutches the bags, and all thefunds that can be grab- bed are made to subserve the interests of some modern Shyloch, who in his breathless anxiety for gold, panting for his own per- sonal advantage, entirely overlooks the in- terests of the stock holders, and as for public vaneement and means of /( hing but discord can prevent her from rapidly rising to emi , if these facilities are only properly managed and faithfully developed.

On passing McKenzie's on the night in question I saw some teams in the shed and thinking some one I knew might be there I went in. When 1 went in deceased, a pedlar and a young man with him were in the bar; the last two left short- ly afterwards. Lovelet, Cameron and Johnson came from the setting room. De- ceesed was talking to me. Cameron com- ing in turned suddenly and struck deceased on the cheek but being so far off the force of the blow was spent. He turned away. Thompson said " Lachy you have given me a black eye." Cameren turned and ap- peared to be unconscious of what he had done ; said he did not mean to. That he thought it was another man; they then shook hands. Shortly after McKenzie came in and said there would be no more whiskey drank there. Deceased said he did not want any. Mrs. McKenzie came in and rushed at Thompson to put him out. She clinched him, other parties then same in, Cameron with them ; he put Mre. McKenz'e through the door leading into the kitchen. She came in again and he again put her out, and again the third time. McKenzie got mad and he and Cameron had a scuffle. McKenzie threw Cameron on a bench-- there vas a scuffle in the bar. McDonald wanted to get at deceased but was prevent- ed. leabella Cameron came in and tried to make peace; she asked me to get her brother and deceased away. Cameron said he was in no hurry--he came to make peace and not to quarrel, he complained of having been abused, he wanted a drink. McKen- zie at first refused to give it, we finally took cigars. Before treating however, nearly all had left the bar except deceased, Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie, Miss Cameron, and myself, I wentout shortly after to talk to Johnson, we stood at the cornor of the build- ing near the bar door.

Messenger came Saturday night but told me to wait until morning, had I been called earlier I might have kept the inflammation within bounds. I eonsider the wound on left side was not sufficient to cause death, but has no doubt the exposure spoken of in evidence contaibuted to cause death. Blood was in an inflammatory state. I bled him abcut eight oz. cannot say how it was before. Lungs were comparatively sound. When I first saw deceased he was suffering from wflamation of left pleura and lung. tusion, it was the result of direct and sud den violence. Don't. think a fall could cause 1t unless he fell from a height. There was gray bepitization of left lung ecchy- mosis only slight, the wounds on the face were trivial, and are no way contributed fo cause of death, the system of a dissipated man would be more apt to fasten disease such as the one mentioned. Dr. Wirson, corroborated Dr. Gilles pie.--I think had medical aid been had the nibigt of injury it might have had a bene- fical effect. I am satisfied the exposure contributed to the inflimation. The Jury. being left alone, concluded to bear no fur- ther testimony.

Two of the above prisoners viz: Ccmeron and McDonald escaped--they having been put into the hands of a team. ster, for the purpose of taking them to Whitby Jail, They were not handcuffed, and the conséquence was that they hopped out of the wagon and got off without fur. ther trouble. It isa pity for all concerned that the prisoners should attempt to escape, it is acknowledging guilt, which certainly has not yet: been brought home to them. There is certainly nothing in the evidence to warrant the verdict. We cannot see how any blame can rest on the conttable.
