ADAM GORDON. * Manchester, May 30, 1867. 4 © Luinag @he Port Perry Standard AND NORTH ONTARIO ADVERTISER. PORT FERRY, JUNE 13, 1867. AS AA XT 2 - . An irable Sithation. No people either in the old or new world would assume the present po- sition of tho inhabitants of Rome. -- France would not, for she was the first who laid hands on the temporal possessions of the Pope, by restoring Avignon to its proper nationality, and had recourse to rcvilation to ob- «tain ber religions and personalliberty nor would England, who long since, and before any other nation, threw off the trammels of Pontificial rale,-- nor the Germany offLuther, the Ger- many which has sacrificed between two and three millions of men for religious reform --nor Sweden, where Papacy has left such odious remiuis- cences that the Swedes, outpassing the object in view, refuse liberty to Roman Catholics, so much is a re- currence of Romish influence dread- cd in that couniry. Spain might consent, the ancient Spain of the Monks and the Inquisition. But that Bpain no longer cxists--she disap: peared in the great international struggle of 1812, and all the others which have followed from Mina down to Espartero, and O'Donnell. Spain of the present day ie still Catholic, and undoubtedly is fond of religions pomp ; but she also loves liberty, and would scarcely consent to ex- change her old and new franchises | for mediseval intolerance and bigot- ry. Nor is there more likelihood of Russia agreeing to accept the posi-| tion of Rome, since, although the Czar is the head of the Rassian] church, the temporal Prince tvkes precedence of the spiritual. Even "Turkey, notwithstanding hee fanati- the Sultan, with all his authority, is not the real head of religion, since the Sheik -ul-islam and the Imans consti ute the religious power in. Turkey. And that power is far more tolerant than the. Roman authorities, as it sanctions the existeuce of churches of every denomination by the side of the mosques, whereas Rome, " swhenever she can do so with impumi- iy, prevents the erection of any weli- gious edifices, other than her own. Turning to America we shal find that the inhabitants of neither con-! tinent would think of submitting to Priestly dommation --that Mexico, Bolivéa, Chili, LaPlata, and even Paraguay arc stro: gly opposed to the authority of aPriest-Prince. In Asia, Japan a thousand years ago separated the temporal power from the spiritual. In China one half of the country, a few years ago, rose against the other half on pre-| text of freedom. In Africa, as in | Asia, the spirit of progress advances steadily. Said Pacha yielded to the influence of Europcan idcas ; and consented to the cana! through the Isthmus of Suez ; Madagascar, and even the King of Dahomey, accord something to modern civilization.-- Ultramontane Rome alone insists on the statu quo, and rejects all reforms. For sixteen long years the world has been insisting that what is God's should be left to God, and what ap-, pertains to men, to men. _ Destengtive Fire. --A fire occurred on "Mola Morning the 10th inst, at | the residence of Mr. Heary Crawfo:d, __sitaated on lot No. 12, in the 4(b on. of Pickering, by which the house and greater part of the furni- tare were totally destroyed.

He had canvassed during his canvass as faithfully for Mr. Camer- on as himself ; but he did rot wish tostand in the way. He was willing to have the matter tested, at that meeting, in order to prevent getting, into the'same fix that the Grits are He looked upon the election as sure, if the party are united. He had, boen charged with being a Reformer --this he did not deny ; but when McDougall wag, brought here who had thrown over " Rep, by Pop," he, with others changed lus views. He solicited the support of all in at tendance, and said, if elected, he will support and proto bry good measure that comes beforé the coun- try. i Mr. Brabazon was called for, who responded by saying he did not think it necessary for him to say anything at present, Ile had been kept in the dark, and he did not know why. As hie was on his feet, however, he would say, he did not think the Saintfield Convention a fair one, and therefore, he did not feel bound to abide by it. He looks upon Conven- tions as an institution from the otber side, and would prefer keeping them there. He understood a requisition | was in circulation to bring him out; land if it is presented; and he finds he can be elected, be says he will run, Mr. Brown read the minutes of a meeting referred to, md said there was no disposition to deceive Mr. Bra- bazon ; and of the requisition referred J.

Cameron, Esq., the candi- date for the Commoaus, on the Con- servative ticket, met a large number of his supporters, at Thompson's Hotel, Brock, on Tuesday, 11th inst., where he received a most hearty welcome. Representatives were present from all parts of the riding, and matters in reference to the can: didates were freely discussed. The following is the purport of what took place alter we got there. We found Wm. Nelson, Esq., late Reeve of Scott, in the chair, and Mr. Brown, of Uxbridge, acting as Sceretary. " Mr. Cameron, who liad explained his course respecting Confederation and the Fenians, and had given satie- tory weasons to Lig friends fo doing, was alluding to what is said of his absence from the county, which eulgect lie also explained in such a way as to elicit the most hear- ty approval. Having his willingless to answer any ques- tion which might be put to him, Le said be hoped both parties in the contest would discountenance the agitation which the Globe is attempt- ing to palm upom the pamblic. Of Geo. B:own he said he was bound, if he could not be the biggest, to be at all events the nmoisiest toad in the puddle. It{had been said by the Globe that he did not intend to run for tke County of Ontario, but for the east riding of Toronto. If he does run for the latter constituency it will be for a seat in the Local. He considers this comuty has prior claims upon his services, ani he as- sured his hearers that they should have the preference. He liad learned that in certain localitics a division had arisen over Mr. Gillespie, aud thiss meeting had been called partly to reconcile those dif ferences. As a local candidate Le considers Mr. Gillespie as intelligent a man, an! as able to represent the riding, as any of the Candidates in the field, He was not prepared to advise, but suggested that rome one should be chosen whom all .could work for. Of Mr. Paxton, be affirm- ed he knew but little, other than that. he had weretofore worked for the ex- He stated it had been said that money bought his last election, but thosc present knew how false that was. He had the proud satisfaction of knowing that, out of over 120 members in the Mouse, he alone held bis position without cost- ing him a six-pence ; which fact had raiged the riding in the estimation of many, and for which the riding had reat reason to be proud. © He con-- cluded Lis remarks amid rounds of applause. hasan Mr. Galioway'made a silly state: went in reference to Mr. Cameron and his printing accounts, in which we were also brought to figure rath- er comspicuousiy. As the meeting, however, very properly discounten- anced the thing altogether, we pro- | pose saying nethiag further about it; but, in the ovent of i again being brought forth, we" ebill place fhe matter, as far as we are concerned, in a proper light before the public, Gillespie was caticd for and tion wonld be a great try. He said he the nomination intimated | to by that gentleman, be said he was prepared to prove it emanated from a Ciear Grit camp, { After Mz. Brabazon's denial of tle | above assertion, Mr. Gillespie made { explanations in reference to the dele- gates from Brock. . { + Mr. Wright said if Mr. Brown took | it upon himself to write to the lead- ing Reformers in the Riding he | should have written to Mr, Brabazon, | He explained how the delegates | were appointed, and how the Saint | field meeting was represented, | He | had nothing to say against Mr. Gil- lespic ; but he had been told that | Gillespie went around to the dele | gates in order to sccure his nomina- tion. Ie said dissatisfaction existed in Reach, and.it had been said he (Gillespie) would get but poor sup- port in the North, and therefore there was no use in working for Lim.-- Many entertained the opinion that an older man in the party should haye been taken from the ranks in preference to Giilespie. © He stated Gillespie was not his choice, and if a better man than Gillespie comes out to oppose Mr. Paxton--whom he considers a very ohjecticnable man -- he will support him, Mc. IL. Brethour agreed with the remarks of Messrs, Wright and Brab. azoa, in reference to what was done at Saintfield in' March last; and said he must confess he was opposed to Gillespie; but since then had changed the election would be lost ; and soon erthan that should take place, he preferred having no election at all. He hoped Mr. Brabazon would not come out, because it had beep suid Brock, Scott, and the Noith would give Gillespie a large vote, and if the pirty worked well, he would be elected. He thought if one seat could be secured both might. At one time he was so opposed to Gillespie 'that if Gould had come out he would have ziven him his support, but he could not do so now. Mr. McLaren made a few remarks, during which he afirmed that a man who attended reform meetings was no conservative, and therefore he would support Mr. Brabazon, Mr. Bolster said if any blame was to be attached to any one, it should be attached to him, as he was the person who nominated Gillespie. Ie did not believe in choosing his brother--he was in favor of gaining a victory. He said he might mention a number or instance--Hamilton, Brabazon, Nelson and Wright--who have bet ter claims upon the party for the position ; but he flvoked upon Mr Gillespie as the most available man. After some remarks in reference to the Saintfield meeting, he said he did not think they were a pack who could be pulled into splitting their ranks, and presenting the deplorable condition in which the Grits are placed. He maintained that the par- ty were morally bound to abide by the decision of that meeting. He believed as the party had carried too out of three elections, they could now carry both, He hoped Mr. Bra- bazon would scorn the idea of a requi sition, else the party would be split and lose the Ann He conclu: ded bis remarks, after alluding to Mr. Gillespie's 'principles, by urg ing unanimity ef action and sure! success. Mr. Galloway was sorry for the fecling manifested. He saw that the Local cleetion was lest, and the par- ty would now have to go outside for a Local candidate. In referring to the grievances he seid he might as well complain as any one; but he had po desire for public life, and was not at all anxious for it. He wanted toknow what the nominees would doin reference to the Intercolemiul Railroad. . f Mx. Cameron said it was "now the law ofthe land, a fixed fact, and] 'therefore there wonld 'be nothing to doin the premises. ~~ + Mr. Galloway having signified bis pleasure with Mr. Cameron's remarks said if they, (the-Candidates) opposed it, he should oppose them. Mr. Wright said he was unwell and scarcely able to be pres- ent. Some things, however, had been said which burt his feelings and he felt like speaking out. If the health would not permit him to fill it. It was not ont of jealousy he t him or any other man rather than Paston. He did not intend to men- the Swintfeld meeting, that he hud a tion this,but the remarks of Mr, Bolster | place 1d been given him, hie said his his views, and was now willing tog was 0] to Gillespie--that was| beam a Those was willing to support and others had called them complained of the re which Uxbridge hada re-asserted that Gill forth. He tation ntfield -- not the choice of the party, that. le" solicited the nomination from the delegates before the meeting, a that lie could name a dozen men from Reach who would not support him. Ile wished to hear Mr, Gillespie say --although he had partly said it al- ready --that he would vote with the Consetvative party inthe Huse when a party vote came up, Having r hl | an answer thom Mr. Chlles. pie in the affirmative, he proceeded to say he was sorry.that some of the candidates in the field were annexa- tionists, anil that he believed Mr. Paxton was as great an amnexation- istas there is in the country. He repeated what he previously said in relerence to a stronger candidate than Mr. Gillespie, and said he would like to have had the opportunity of sup- porting Mr. Brabazon, us he believed that gentleman would poll a very large vote. Mr. Brabazon was again féquested to make a few remarks and consent- ed. He expressed himself satisfied with the explanations made by the Secretary ; aud said he never f.It so small in his life as' We did at not knowing. that Mr. Cameron had been brought out at the meeting in Uxbridge. He thought there was a disposition to keep him in the durk aud he thought so still. Having de- nied that the Grits were to bring him out, he said it had been said he wis at one tine shaky. He said he had voted once for Hartman and once for Gould, for the purpose of settling the Clergy Reserve question, and he gave the meeting to nnderstand that he had wérked with Mr. Gould in the County Council, and had found that gentleman a true friend to the county, Mr. Hamilton said it was not his intention to have said anything ; but he wished to say he agreed with Mr, Brethour this far, that when the par- ty selected a man he would go for bim, nd he would support Gillespic. He complained that Uxbridge had not been represented at Saintficld, wished to know, if Uxbridge had been notified of that meeting, how it was that no meeting had been held in Usbridge. He said Mr. Gillespie's clection in Uxbridge stood upon a pivot--very doubtful ground. Ile considered Uxbridge had been in- sulted, and stated that he held the same views of Conventions as those expressed by Mr, Brabazon. Some people thought 'Confederation was going to open the gates to. paradise ; but he looked upon that measure as the first gtep to annexation. Mr. Humilton made some lengthy obser- vations on. Mr. Brown's conduct at the last elsction in contrast with the present ; aud also alluded to the difference of living under our fo: m of Government and that of the United States. He urged unity the party, and pass d on to ob it had been said a Local u be: preferable to an outsid the present mecting had p fallacy of that idea, for Le es, OU accoun 0 dices, were a curse to as. Hi alluded to " Rep. by Pop," and federation, which latter "mneasure he said we would find to be an expen- sive form of Governmeat. Having spoken of the ielations of Upper Canada to Confederation, he said there wus a cry for Reform, but be did not see why. Ie thought if parties, however, bad waited for a year or 80, then there will.be plenty of room for it The chairman read the following motion, Moved by C, , Davidson, second- ed by Wm, Sinclair, Jr., That this meeting pledges itself to support M. C. Cameron, Ksq., as a Cunnidate for the House of Commons, and Mr, Gil- lespie as a Candidate for the Local Legislature, at the coming contest. Mr. Wright said he could not vete or it. He moved in amendment, seconded by Mr. Brabazon, thit Mr. Gillespie's name bé left out. * At the suggestion of Mr. Cameron, Mr. Wright subsequently altered his amendment to admit of- the names of the Candidates being submitted to the meeting separately. Mr. Davidson made a few remarks in support of his motion, and in fa- vor of the Candidates, Heregretted to find any one opposed to them. Mr. John Christie said he could support the former part of the motion, but not the latter part of it. Mr. Gillespie said he would be willing toabide by the decision of the meeting, & cody Mr. Cameron suggested that Mr. Davidson should give way and allow the strength of himself and that of Mr. Gillespie to be tested separately. He regretted that any ene shenld be guided by false notions, and hoped the motion would -be 'allowed to CRIIYY ivi, Anh SEA wa A Some further, discussion en: at the close of which the amendinen was put and carried. !

Release of Davis. The release of Jeff. Davis is gener- ally applauded by 'the English press, as an act of wise forbearance an magnammity. The Fondon Times says i-- . "The Americans, when they inter- ceded with our Government for th lives of the Fenians convicted in Cae nada, did ccrtainly not preach where they were unprepared, to practice. Since the conclusion of the war, the North, though scvere on the South: ern community, has given way to mo animosities against individuals. No one has Deen put to death in America for what the North has de- clared to be treason; very few have been molested if they chose to acqui- esce in the restored rule, and to take no part in politics. The leniency of the government has, however, been carried to its furthest point by the release, on bail, of Mr. Jefferson Da- vis, after a captivity of two years. Whether he will ever be brought to trinl seems to be still uncertain, but we may almost predict that, in any case, the punishment inflicted on him will not be extreme. We can see that, in the case of America, this is the wisest policy, and that it is best not to give renewed rancor to the animosities of the South by any act of severity. A similar forbear- ance would have its good effects in Ircland also." " The. London Star says, in same spirit :-- "The United States have here, once again, given an example of magnanimity and mercy by which the old werld may well profit. They have given an example of political wisdom too. Jefferson Davis, ex- ecuted on the scaffuld- as a traitor, might have left a bitter and even a dangerous memory behind him. Jet- | ferson Davis, contemptous'y dismiss- {ed to the obscurity of private life, will soon fade ont of memory alto- gether, * * We do not write thus from any wish to throw addi- tional odium on a fallen man. But it is a duty we owe to a great cause and to truth, to remind England that this is the man who was the idol of what are called our governing class- es three years ago,--the man in an- swer to whose appeal journals and speakers in this country clamored for war against our own kindred, and against the principles of human lib- erty and the Christian doctrine of human rights. While men in Eng- land, too, are crying out even now for the life-blood of some petty and powerless Irish rebeis, it is right to show how gricvous were the crimes of Davis against the United States, and how the United States have punished them. We are glad that Davis is set free, His life has been, happily for mankind, a failure, and the best thing that can be hoped for kim ie that the world may soon for- get him, and history only give a few passing lines to his name.' the Progress of Science. (From the London Times.) Science has'made great progress during the sixteen ycars which com- x! on in Hyde Park and the present Exhibition at Paris. But in what direction have its irinmphs been the most signal, and its results the most complete? Numerous problems which seemed then on the verge of solution remain, now as then, unsolved. We have not found a cheaper and more manageable agent than steam ; we have not in vented a safer and steadier illumina- ting power than gas. We have nat even solved the small difficulty of establishing an easy communication between the guard, passengers, and Seives of railway train. We can- not stéer a baloon ; the Board of Trade has given up predicting the weather ; fire and shipwreck and pestilence still elaim their heavy toll of our population, notwithstanding chemistry, lifeboats, and medical congresses. We seem on the very] verge of great discoveries, but coy Nature eludes our grasp and leaves us still shivering on the threshold o" truth. But in one class of subjects our labors have been unremitting, our progress has been continuous, our success uninterrupted. In the arts which embellish, cheer, comfort, and lengthen human life, our success have been moderate § in the maiming wounding and destroying our fellow creatures it has been all, and more than all, that could be desired, Dur- ing the period we have mentioned, the English and French navies have, with vast labor, expease, and ingenu- ity, been Pon av gn al once from sails to screws, and again from wood {0 7iron, Turrets and broadsides have raised a sort of me chanical war of their own, and the human mind has been tasked to 'the utmost in the attempt to estimate and compare the solidity of different targets. In ordnance, a boundless ficld has Leen opened to the ingenuity of our Whitworths and Armstrongs, Pallisers and Frasers. Bolts, bul- +. lets, and cones have striven for the . Powder and gun-cotton have their fanatical supporters. The very names of the different kinds of rifles that have been invented would | fill a dictionary, and the last agreea- ble novelty is a cannon framed on the principle of the old Balearic sling wliich did such good service in the hands of Hannibal's soldiers. These have been the philanthropic studies in which the mind of Kurope has been immersed for the last ten years, and these are the results to which she may with most justice point: ns | the triumphs of her industry and the- laudmarke of her civilization, If man wag sent into the world to plot the destruction of the human race, nobody can doubt that we areen the right track at last.

Europe, and with gradually increasing stringen-- cy, as small States are absorbed into larger oues, the flower and strength of the population are kept continual- ly under urms.

In a vast transmarine Empire like our own, the soldier is brought in contact with different nations, climates, and pro- ductions. He sees and subdues new races of men, and is often a sort of auxilliary to the extension of civili- zation and the extension of States. -- At any rate, he escapes the ennui that spreads its wings over Lyons or Mayenc:, where the soldier vege- tates for years in listless inactivity and uselessness, in order at last to be 1.d ont to shed his blood on one of the well-known battle-fizlds of Europe, which seem to have been selected as the theatres for the misery and des- truction of the human race frum the first dawning of moder. history to the present time. = The evil is n't The increase of population, and the centralization of Government, have given to the conscription a terrible efficiency, so that it seems as. if the insatiate maw of modern warfare would be contented with nothing less than the whole manhood of a nation. Compared with the armies that contended in Bohemia last year, the mighty hosts of Napoleon's ear- lier campaigns were mere divisions; and, compared with tac carnage of Solferino or Sadowa, Lutzen was a petty skirmish, and Waterloo an af fair of outposts. Nor is this all, War generates war, and the exist- ence of vast aFmies creates a demand for their use. Kings long to try the temper of a sword they are contin- ually sharpening and polishing, and armies in their weariness of mimic arfure contract a desire to ex- change it for the reality of which they have so often heard. All Ear ope is, as it were, mined ; the slight- est accident may apply the torch, and yet it has become so used to the danger that it has almost learnt to consider this armed peace as the natural state of mankind. Now, with all respect for the labors of diplomacy, we must declare that we have no hope ofa really stable pac- ific until this state of things is thor- oughly amended. The disputes, like this one of Luxemburg, which perodically break .out, are not the disease itself, but the symp- tons of the discase, which lies below. Till, nations can be prevailed on not merely to keep the peace for the moment, but so to regulate their af- fairs as to give security that they mean to keep the peace hereafler, only the first step has bacn taken in a pacific direction. France has been She it is who has set the evil ex. ample which has invested peace, as at present known to Europe, with most of the evils of war.--The Em- peror has announced that, this ques- tion of Luxemburg being once ami- cably settled, he will renounce all views of territorial aggrandizement. This assurance will carry weight, and produce a better state of things in Europe, just in proportion as it is accompanied by a real disarmament. France has no invasion to fear, All All that Europe asks of her is to be let alone ; but, aslong as she remains armed, no nation will feel justified in placing its forces on a really pacific footing. Let the Emperor Napoleon set this example to other Sovereigns and he will have conferred on his own subjects and om the rest of man- kind a benefit which he will regard in the latter yeare of his life with more real satisfaction than all the triumphs of his arms and all the suc- cesses of his diplomacy, Crete--The Defeat of Omar Pasha. (Correspondence of the New York ' Tribune.) Canea, May 12, 1867. The last test of Cretan military en- durance is over. Omar Pasha, with all his host, is repulsed disastrously from all his attacks en the mountuin passes, and 1s now moving eastward, ravaging everything as he goes. He has informed the Cretans that if they do not surrender he will cut down all the olive trees in the island ; and in the vicinity of his late defeat has already destroyed 8000, This is Turkish civilization. 'We have had a rapid succession of battles. Omar Pasha had already moved out into the interior when Hadji Mikali, 'moving across from Omaro with his Lakiotes, found a body of Turkisi troops--two battal- ions and some iwegwlars--moving out on a reconnoisance, and went at once to attack them, driving them down, after two days' fight to Mo- laxa, where, the second day, reinforce- ments reached the troops, and the Hadja withdrew. : As I advised yon some weeks ago would be the case, the Pasha made a strong double movement on the town of Sphakia, in the driectlon of Kallibrati, the division of Mehomet Pasha making an incursion on Krapi. All three attacks were repulsed. Omar Pasha attacked at Gai lis, but was beaten back to Epi ina battle of which we have few ils. The attack from the south sea side was also repulsed, as must have been expected, and Mehomet Pasha at- tacking Krapi__ Saturday morn ing fought until Saturday night at 10, and thea: withdrew, pursued nearly to the sea side at Kerokohri, fine or six hours frem Krapi. The route . complete. iis ir trenhed camp at Oryns was useless, and to saves communications with Omar Pasha, whe has his depot at Dranna, he was ob) 1o retreat to Armyro abandoning his original base at Kaly- wes. His loss is stated by the Cre- tans at 2,000, which may not be ex- aggerated ap the ground is excess: stationary ; it is rapidly increasing. |P2 ively favorable to' the Cretans, es pecially in pursuing and cutting o stragglers. ® : Omar Pashe then pushed, or rather, men ; not finding any weak point 1m the defenses, | INI to" Dario the attack, and moved 1 of toward Re- time, threatening and destroying, and, perhaps, hoping that Coroncos would be rash enough to-.come down into the plain and meet him, or deter- mined to getinto Lasithi and beat the new foree landed there before they should have gathered the people together. 0 sooner was the menace with- drawn from Sphakia than Hadji Mikali moved back to the mountains of Omro, and thence made a descent on the plains of Canea, burning and ravaging the Turkish-property at Agra, Sins, Galatuf, Periouglia, &e., within gunshot of Canea. » The diminutive corps left to guard the plain was hors de combat in a jiffey, and though the guns at Leda bellow- ed thunder, they didn't strike any- where, and the Hadji walked over the course. A The paric is extreme ; the Turks finally despair, and if the Christians now take it into their heads to des 'cend on the large but comparatively empty camp in the vicinity of Canea, they will make a rich booty with small loss.

Some diminished indebtedness, 1llinois, Indiana, Peunsylvansa, and Ohio be- long to this category.
