Onithe 12th inst. 'he said he. had much pleasurein accepting the challenge, but as the event proves, it is very easy to accept, "and a much-easier thing, as usual for our neighbor, to fail,in making good his asser- tions. Mr. Diown being the ablest, most far- secing and influential man in the country, and wielding the Globe-- the most powerful engine for the formation and directing of puldic opinion in British North America, brought into existence and maintained in its unrivalled positibn by his very great ability, --hisfviews cn the public questions of the day are better known than those of - any other man in the Dontinion. To the "readers of the Globe, comprising every in- telligent man of all shades of politics in Canada, his North West Policy . for years is known to have been 10 wpen up the couggry, beginning at the head of Lake Superior by making a passablé waggon road over the portages, and using the water communication as much as possible | to Red River, thus enabling emigrants to Pour in and settle around Lake Winnipeg, pushing onward through the Saskatchawan Valley to the west. Then as the + popula- tion increased, and the necessitics of trade might requre it, survey, get estimates, and make sections of the Pacific Railway where it would be most beneficial and profitable, and where it would yield the most revenue, as other countries do, or as any man' of | «<ommon sense and wisdom would do in his | own private affairs. Continue thins adding section to section of the road as our revenue and extent of population would warrant--this has been and is Mr. Brown's and every other sensible man's view of ' 'how the Pacific Railway should be built, and how the reveliue of dhe country ghould be economise 1. Prudent men, when they are about to undertake the'ercction of a house; a mill, | tannery, or factory, get estimates of the cost, and reflect, When the building shall be paid for, how much capital they may have left to carry on the future business. Then after counting their cash and looking to their prospects of getting more, they strike hands with the contractors and go . ahead. Ifit were a desirable thing to | "connect the Village of Oshawa with the Island of Scugog by a new road, what would we think of our Village Council if - they entered into bonds with the Council of that Island and pledged our resources | for the construction of it--doulling our debt and our annual taxation-- without | | first making a_ careful survey and ealling -_ for estimates of the cost of the work !-- without ascertaining whether any and what obstruction lay in the way, and with- | out submitting the project tothe people of this Village for their approval? Why, we | should have every man of them hooted | from public life as incapable imbeciles, | unworthy to represent any sane people, The Viadicutor says that in February Mr: Brows wag in favor of immediate steps being daken\o build the Pacific Rail- | way. We admiPthat he was. Let us give his own words, '""a ific Railway is a necessity if the New Daminion is to have a fair chahice of fultilling its destiny. ™ The Vindicator says that Mr. Brown *denoune- ed in April immediate steps being taken towards its construction." This statcisent we dencunced as " utterly untrue " and we challenged the Vindicator to prove it true. -Letsus quote from the very. article in the Glole which the Vindicator says denounces the railway, and let us beliove the Vindicator after that if wo can: #! That every mcans justified by the of the National Finances and the cl sipon the public fesources should be used «to open up communication, first with the " Red River settlement, and then with | British Columbis, is a foregone ¢onclusion. | That the ultimate result of such efforts | must and should be a railicay there is yo | doubt." Is this denouncing the construc. ! tion of the rdroad I Yg} this is what the | truthful Vindicator calls dencuncing it ! | "The Globe continues: "But it by no | means follows that we should agros all at once, and within a limited time to under- take a task that might well be regarded as gigantic if it devolved apon' the Govern: ment of Great Britain instead of on the | four million people found in the whole | Dominion of Canada." "We utterly scout the notion that a rash and it may be disastroys 'step should. be taken at the dictation of a handful of people 2500 | miles away." This is what the Globe de- | nounces--the mode of constructing it, the | gime in which it is to be finished, the | trebling of our debts and liabilities before ! surveys are made, or the looking to our | ability to make such a road ; for it is in | favor of its construction on proper princi- ples, as the following quotation from the same article ws : " Assuming that a railroad is to made, a thorough and | impartial survey and a most careful esti- , mate of cost should precede any com- mittal to the .

To the Editor of the Reformer ; Sir,--The Vindicator, a few weeks ago, in quotingfrom an exchange in reference to flour stored in Montreal, says *" it should the money for it in the pockets of dur millers, who in turn should be paying it to our farmers." I entirely agree with the champion perverter in this; but was this the course Mr. Gibbs was pursuing ! In- stead of putting Canadian flour in the Lower Province markets, he was sending Western flour there, and the money re- | ceived for it, instead of being paid to Ontario farmers, was paid to Western farmers. Was this promoting the agri- cultural interests of the South Riding of | Ontario, Mr. Vindicator !

[From the Hamilton Evening Times.) The New York Tribune is not disposed to accord that credit to Governor Hoffman | which has been so generally accorded to him by thie Press, for the stand he took with reference to the right of the Protest- ant Association of New York to parade and march in procession through the streets of that city, and the means he em- ployed to protect the procession and sup- press the late riots. The Tribune says :-- "One hundred and thirty men, women, "and children were killed and wounded | in Wednesday's riots--thirty-eight killed "and ninety-two wounded ;" and then asks, " On whose head rests their blood 1" It answers : -- First--On the heads of the besotted, foreign-born rioters, and the intriguers who led them to an assult on one of the most sacred rights of American freemen. Sccond--On Mayor Oakey Hall, who deliberately--and after a year's thought, as he now avows--surrendered the city to the rioters, f 3 } Third--On Gevernor John T. Hoffinan, who might have prevented all disturbance leby doing promptly what oily the example of Gov. Randolph, the imploring petitions of his party friends, and the anger of an uprising people, extorted from him at last, just in time to aggravate the disorder it could ro longer control, Fourth--* On the party that sustains Blake or McKenzie in legislative matters : It would be the height of folly to suppose that he did. Such an absurd idea could only originate in a deranged and disturbed mind. Mr. Brown's enemies are evidently | pretty hard pushed for points to assail | him upon, when they have to resort to such means as this. People must be char- itable towards the Vindicator. He has a desperate cause to sustain, which taxes his energies and intellect occasionally beyond their capacities. I think he must be tired out again ; I would advise a little rest. VOTER.

I think Oshawa might very well do without any, but while our Council think proper to license three, they should in justice to those three, either require license from at least two others, or see that some steps are taken to prevent them infringing npon the right of others, and thus prove the licensing system so more than a miserable farce. Youn, &¢. mountain," - these cri Is and the supine people. of New York who have hitherto lacked the spirit to throw off their vulgar and thervish rule. Shall it be so for ever ? There is force in the manner in which the Tribune puts the matter, and certainly much truth. The masses of the people of New York are not guiltless, nor -are its officials and municipal authorities. They have encouraged Fenianism in all its phases. They have nursed the serpent in their bosoms, and they must not com- 'plain, now that having warmed it into life, they should become the victims of its | poison-tipped fangs. They have sown the | dragon's teethy and have no right to com- plain of the harvest. . They have sown the wind, and must submit to reap the whirl- wind. Year after year has the danger been pointed out to them, but they heed- ed not the warning. The direct results of the policy the people pf New York have adopted towards citizens of foreign birth are to be seen in the fearful riots and bloody cruelties of 1863, and again in the late outbreak cgainst 'The Protestant Association." rr -- <I -- ee Tur Ottawa Citizen says it is a curious fact that the word * Tranchemontagne," the name of the brutal murderer of Mr. Macanlay, signifies a Aector a bully. The dictionary of the French Academy men- tions the word, as expressing a vain brag- gart who loudly boasts of his own courage' and pretended exploits. The literal ren- dering of the word would be "split a Editor, | when a thunder shower came on, and he | took shelter under a tree, where a party | were sheltering also--two young woman 1 | and two young men. One of the girls looked very sad, till, as the rain fell; her! tears fell. The Dean inquiring the cause, | learned that it was their wedding day ; | they were on their way fo church," and |] couldn't go. "Never mind, I'll marry | you," id the Dean; and took out his | prayer-book, and then and there married | them, their witnesses being present. To | make things complete, he tore a leaf out | of his pocket-book and with his pencil | wrote and signed a certificate, and handed | it to the bride. It was as follows : * Under a tree fn stormy weather, I married this man and woman together ; Let none but him who rules the thunder, Sever this man and woman asunder." Tie doctrine of total depravity has been terribly reinforced by a tragedy in Illinois. A monster in human mein residing in that State, offended with his son, a child of eleven, " beeause he would not work," seizes the lad before his mother's eyes (the mother laying helplessly sick) lays him on a red-hot stove, then beats him brutally, and places him on his sick mother's bed. The poor child died in great agony in a few hours after. Few will be found in their inmost souls to blame too severely: the exasperated neighbors who took the inhuman brute from jail and hanged him toa tree. It is a matter of profound thankfulness that such monsters are race ; but occurrefices of this kind show how neccessary are tho softening, restraining and civilizing influences of true religion. Tax town of Bradford, which was Te- cently destroyed by fire, is being rebuilt. The News says: " We are glad to be able fo record that the burnt district in this village is being rapidly rebuilt. Already, ten or twelve large buildings are nearly finished, and mere are on the way. There will be a much larger proportion of brick stroyed. - Before winter sets in, Bradford, externally, will be itself, and more than itself 'again. - This eer for the business qualities of the place, and the pluck and energy of the people." * Tue Globe sy would appear that Col. Gray is in great expectatons of shortly entering upon his reward, by refeiving a good comfortable mileage returns shall betray nor Parlia- mentary committees be again called upon to investigate the conduct of an erring brother. A law clerkship is to be placed at the disposal of the gallant colonel, and rumour significantly intimates that dreams of future oratorical triumphs in the House will be abandoned for quietness and a large salary. In this case truly silence will be golden.
