CHISED, According to the Globe's Hamilton corres- pondent, when John S. was holding fourth at Hamilion, on Monday last, in speaking of the Franehise he declared against lower- ng the amount of qualification to what it had formerly been. He said if the people now used well the privileges they have the Log- islature night extend them by time. Well now that is refreshing-- privileges their very biithright--It ie true that it is a privilege to live in a free country, and under justand equitable laws us we now do ; but to talk of the franchise being at the mercy or caprice of one whose political ex- i ten ve could be wafted into everlasting ob- livion by the simple breath of those very men whose franchise he imagines that he holds suspended by a ministerial hair is too much of the good thing. The humblest class of Electors, aye and eyen those whom the Confederation act has disfranchised have nights to maintain and characters to defend as well as the most wealthy in the Domin- nion. ! The New Premier seems to ignore that oll yet none the less forcible proposition ; ¥¢ A man's a man for a that"'--and the poor- est man who pays his taxes, however little and conducts himself in a becoming manner nas as much right to the franchise as the ery primest premier amongst them. ---- = ---- eee THE PLAGUE SFOT.

As regards the important subject of Immigration I'shall, if elected, endeavor to use all practicable means to render Canada gcse home for the Tmmi- grant, belleving that the prosperity of the Dominion vety much depends upon an increase of its population With the con- sequent occupancy and clearing of its, at present, unproductive territory, I shall advocate trict economy as essential in the management of the af. fairs of the new Dominion. And al. though desirous of seeing all Dominional improvements entered upon with as little delay as possible, yet the revenue and resources of the country should. be well ascertained before undertaking any large or expensive works. hy A Reciprocity Treaty with the United States based upon equitable terms would [ believe, prove advantageous to both countries. ~ And generally I should ad- vocate as much [freedom in trade be. tween Canada and other countries as practicable, persuaded that an increased consumption would, in many cases,muke up.any less that the revenue might sus. tain from lessening the Custom dutiss. I view the Confederation of the Pro. vinees and the ultimate addition of the Western Territory as tha foundation of a most important Dominion, eapable of supporting a very large population; while the local control given to each Province will, I believe, be the means of removing many of the difficulties here. tofore existing as to sectional affairs and improvements. " 1 have always regarded a party gov. ernment as best calculated to carry on the affairs of the country, under all or dinary circumstances, in the most satis. factory and economical manner; yet | shall not, if elected, feel disposed to offer a factious opposition to the presznt ministry, but shall judge them by the measures they may introduce.

I cordially approve of the Act of Cone federation, and consider the establishment of the separate Legislatures one of its best provisions ,as each Province thus se- cures the control of its own local affaire--a change which past experience proves ta be { very desirable. | Should you honor me with your confi= dence 1 shall do my utmost to promote th efficient and economical adwinistration ol | the affairs cf the Province of Ontario, b favoring the employment of a sufficien number of assistants, at a fair remuneration for services rendered, and by discounten- ancing any ubnecessary multiplication of oflices.

All measures really adapted to promote the public weal will receive my approval, without reference to their source, while those of a contrary character, | shall on the same principle condemn, from the con- viction that the future welfare of ouk Province will be thereby best promoted. I shall, if elected, advocate the deviop. ment of the vast mineral rescurces of the Province ; and the encouragement of immi- gration, by free grants of Crown Lands to bona fide settlers in the new Townships. The passage of a well considered [Homestead Law--permitting any perspn to apply money honestly his own to the purchase of a limited amount of proper-- ty, which, for the benefit of his family shall be exempt from olaims of future creditors--I shall also endeavor to ob= tain, I shall give my earnest attention to all matters directly affecting the inter< ests of this Riding, and will act upon the principle of justice to ail--partiality to none.
