When this scheme was first mooted by George Laidlaw, E«q.,and others of the leading epirits of Toro- nto-- though they had time and again shown their skill and address in piloting safely through many daring but important public undertakings--it was regarded, not by the foggies alone, but by many sincere and ac- tive friends of progress, as a visionary scheme, not in the least likely ever to be realized.

He believed that withont intervention, the sympathetic feelings and good sense of America wonld nltimately prevail. The friendly feelings of the Unit- ed States were reciprocated. He wonld shrink from no sacrifice to maintain peace ; but the national honor must be maintained. He wag not aware of Mr. Motley's mstrue- tions ; but he hoped what occurred would promote and not hinder nezovations, as the terms that England was willing to concede or must refuse were well known.

DEAR Sir--In your issue of last week I observe in your report of the proceed. ings of the Township Council the follow. ing resolutions : The Council being in committee of the Whole, Mr. Wright moves that the "Ass essor" rezeive the sum of $150 for his ser- vices. Mr. Grabam moved in amend. ment that the Assessor receive the sum of $140 for bis services. Mr, Graham's amendment was lost and the original mo- tion carried. Mr. Editor, you will recollect that last year the Council for the first time at least in my recollection advertised for tenders for the following offices, viz: -- Assessor, Collectors, and License Inspectors.

In fact the writer heard a promment member of the Council then remark th t these officials had been in receipt of too high sal aries--that he considered $100 a fair re- munerztion for their labors, and that in fu ture Le would be dispos-d to give no more. 1 can ascure you sir, that | was greatly surprised to see the same gentleman this ye.r moving fo give the Assessor $150 -- a sum which 1 am satisfiel, was far in ex. cess of what he expected to receive, inas- much as he (it may be said) voluntarily | fixed his own prize last year at $99, and having bad two years expe-ience previous as Assessor, he cannot argue that he was ignorant of either the nature or extent of | the work ne had to perform, and agamw he | cannot argue that bis labors were to any amount increased this year on 'the whole. Admitting that his labors were somewhat increased in the village of Port Perry. 1 consider that would be more than counter balanced by his being relieved from taking the Dlilitia--there being other officers | anpointed for that purpose --saving him the | trouble of filling up some four columns on every page in the Ro!l. | am astonished to see old members of the Council, who bave had almost unlimited experience, vot ing one year to give these « flicers £99, -- next year voting to give the same indivi- dual for the same labor over 50 per cen: more. 1 may remark that the same irregularity has been observed in reference to the Cul lectors, Tn 1866 I think the Ccllectors were paid over $160--in 1867 Mr. Rail received for collecting, $100.» The Coun. cil then appeared dissatisfied, sdvertis:d for tenders for the next year and the work | was done for about $90. This year again according as the Assessor has been paid, thay will reasonably expect some $140 or $150. Why not pursue the same course in reference to the other officers of the Township? Why not add 50 per cent to the salaries of the Clerk and Treasurer this year? Jt matters not though they should be reduced sixty per cent next year --the one would appear just as reasonable and consistent as the other. If this oc. curred 1 a young and inexperienced muni cipality of a few years standing, it might be somewhat exclisuble ; hut in an old and experienced Municipality like this, such ir- regularity appears to me perfectly ridicu- lous and uncalled for.
