A' RTH 1211 All cold and lone on the ground we found him, The brave young spirit had passed away; And as we folded his cloak around him, We thought how nobly he fought that day : Bright drops of dew through the curls were gleaming, That lay caressing the boyish brow ; Oh! that ballid face in the moonlight beaming 1s ever rising before me now. A broken sword near and was lying, His mother's picture,a lock of hair; And to his heart he bad clasped, while dying, The little cross that she used to wear, Tha' fair young head on the ine, The white face turned to the starlit skies, How still it lay, while strange hands were clos- ing The heavy lids o'er the once bright eyes! 'Twas then we thought how that light foot never Again should beat on the cottage floor ; The jcyous laughter was hushed for ever, Thet blithely rang through the open door Twas then we pictured his mother kneeling | To kiss the pillow his cheek had prest ; From happy comrades a pale girl stealing, To sing the songs that he loved the best. | We thought how .they who with smiles did greet him, Could find none dearer to take his place ; The noisy children that ran to meet him, Would watch in vain for his pleasant face. The father's eyes would grow dim while telling The daring deeds of his gallant boy, And gloom would fall on the little dwelling That ence re-eclived with sounds of joy. But, ah ! what heart could be half so lonely As hers taat pilJowed his infant head, | Andsweetly crooned as a mother only Can croon when bent o'ér her darling's bed | Perhaps she'll steal while they all are sieceping, And twine ber arms round his empty chair, When the moonbeams pale, throughthe window creeping, Fall soft and bright on her silvery hair. The little cross from his cold head taking-- One parting look at his face--and then, With trembling fingers and hearts nigh break- ing, y We laid it down on hisbreast again. And, with a prayer for the thousand mothers 'Who nightly watched till the shadowr flee, We left him there, for we knew that others 'Would need our help, ah! far more than he. HOW THE PEOPLES MONEY IS DISPOSED OF. The Constitution of Canada, embodies in its provisions, as one of the chief cor- dinal points, the following principie set ing, less revenue to. Ahe support forth in explicit terms ; REPRESENTA. | TION SHALL:BE ON THE BASIS | OF POPULATION. Andit is on this | principle that the' people rely for a fair | and equitable distribution of influence throughout the country ; for be it remem- berrd that upon representation turns the | great key of the public treasury--by this | principleis governed the amount of control over the public money of the country which | isalloted to. each eonstituensy. For instance, if a population of 4,000 people have one | Also the Largest and Best Stock of BOOTS and SHOES ever offered | member, and another population of 30,000 have one member in the House, it must be evident that the four thousand people { have equal control in the expendi- ture of the peoples money, and | has fully as much to say about the purpeses for which it shall be expended, as the thirty-thousand have ; so that the latter contributing more than seven times as much to the revenues of the county as the former, and are at the mercy compar- atively of the latter. It was a condition of things such as this that led to the | dead-lock in the old Provinces of Canada, out of which Confederation sprung. It was to remedy this abuse that the people of Ontario accepted Confeder- ation, and that the clause, which placed representation on the basis of Confedera- tion, was made the chief plank on the constitutional platform. There was also another feature of representation which did not require to be inserted in the Con- stitution, which was such a time-honored British institution, which formed such an essential principle of British law, that it did not need to be embodied in the Can- adian charter----a principle whixh forms one _ of the chief bases in which limited monarchy rests. That principle was that the electoral privilege, the right of the franchise, should only be held by those who possess certain proper'y qualifica- tions--that only those should have a voice in the expenditure of the public monies, who contribute to public revenues. And this principle, which is one of the great contrasting features of our system of gov- ernment as compared with the universal | suffrage of the Republican form of Gov- ernment, must be adpitted to be a fair and judicious one, - It implied that only those should vote "who have some stake in the country, some responsibility to consider, and who in the exercise of the franchise must always know their action affects their own interosts as well us the country. at Jarge. Well, how has the Government of Sir John Maedonald treated the constitutional principle of re- presentation by population, and the great fundamental British institution of repre- sentation by property ! Have they respected the one--have they con- served the uther 7 Have they been carefu! to guard against the Republican universal sufferage doctrine, or have they en- couraged the intreduction of that un- British, that pernicions doctrine in the Dominion of Canada? Let ws see what | they have done. Let us now take two constituencies of the Dominion, the one of which shall be Soath Ontario and the other Yale-Co~tenay, British Columbia, Well we find that th se constituencies are represented in the House of Commons each ; that the one has equal voice in the expenditure of the revenues collected from the tax-payers of this Dominion with the others ; that Yale Cootenay possesses just as much voice in the disposition of a million of your taxes as does South Ontario, According to the British spirit of justice and fuir play then, the circum. stances in each case ought to be equal. How are they 1 At the last election, in South Ontario, two thousand eight han- dred and thirty-seven qualified voters sent a» member to Ottawa to watch their interests and speak in their behalf. At the last election in Yale-Cootenay thors were,all told, thirty-seven votes --unquali- fled votes--polled, by virtue of which Mr. Edgar Dewdney, himself without property qualification, sat on the same floor with Mr.Gibbs of South Ontario, possessing an eqiial -vote, and an equal influence over the disposal of the taxes of Outario ! Why, we can point to a single manufactory in Oshawa which possesses more voters, more population, pays more taxes, and has ten times more stake in the country,than the whole constituency--however sure the mark 1--of Yale-Cootenay !' And there are the House of Commons at Ottawa fen of these constit ics represented. © Ten mém- bers representing TWENTY IN A DIVISION, representing all told, all combined together, less population, less wealth pay- of the country, than ' the one riding of South Oatario ! And these.two members sit there voting blindly on every question with the Government who placed them there. They know when they record a vote,no matter huw wild the extravagance | or how corrupt the motive, that they will have nothing to pay! that it costs them nuthing to put a mortgage of millions upon the credit of the Province of Ontario !! And yet these ten persons enact the solemn farce of the gross fraud upon the people of this courty, of sitting there at Ottawa among the representatives of the soverign. Many of them have no subsistence beyond their sessional allowance of $1,000 a year! And Sir John A. Macdonald, when the millions of hard-earned dollars of Or.tario are to be voted away to appease his hungry calls on these ten irresponsible voters-- these ten voting machines of his--these teu contempti le wretches, and says: look at my twenty of a majority. Take away these starveling frauds, and John A. would have been four in a mmnority at the oren- ing of last session ; take away these ten purchased supes of his, and he would have beea hurled from office by the real repre- sentatives of the ratepayers of the Domin- ion Swenty times during the last session ! And this is the Government which Mr. Gibbs supports | This is the combination of men, ruling this vast Dominion by sucy, means as this which Mr. Gibbs joins in opposition to right and principle, and in, open defiance of Ontario's interests. Sir John Macdonald knew when he gave British Coluwbia such monstrous repre- sentation, when he openly violated the British North American Act by so doing, when he introduced Republican univer- sal suffrage into that Province, that he would have to look to these puppets for support. He knew well that public sentiment in the Dominion was against him : he knew that a majority of the deputies cf the taxpaying white popa- lation of Canada had no confidence in him, and hence he perpetrated this great fraud, this most atrocious outrage upon the people of this Duminion, of this Pro vince, of this County, that he might keep his hand .in the public chest, no mailer what it costs us! True elect.rs of South Ontario, these are indisputable, undeni- able fuc's. Think well over it, reflect upon it ; and after looking at the question in all its monstrosity, if afler fully com- prehendiug the nature of the men for whose sins Mr. Gibbs says he wishes to be hold responsible; if after fully nnder- standing what a great howbug, what a hol- low sham, is the majority which sustains Mr.Gibba' colleagues in power at yowr ex- pense, you can give an honest and intelli- gent vote for John A.'s nominee; if you are prepared to exercise your franchise to say that all this monstrous wrong is right, then do so. Elect him if yon will ; but REMEMBER when the hour of fi- nancial ruin comes upon the country; when the burden of faxation makes you ery out from one end of the land to the other ; when our national credit is des. troyed, onr rational charncter gone, thew remember that it will be you who will be esponsible, and not Mr. Gibbs. It is you who have the fountain of power, ahd in your hands you have now the weapon-- the frunchise--with which you may pro- protect your own rights. You have the right now, and on Monday next yon will he called upon to use it. If then, yon de- sire to place your neck under the foot of oppression and injustice ; if yon des're deliberately to open your purse strings to the hand of public robbers, the respons'- bility rests with yourselves, If yuu re- member that you have a duty to your country, to yourselves, and to your chil- dren who may come after you, and if you have a conscientious desire to do that duty wisely and patristically, stind up for the rights of the soil from which you sprung, and in the name of common sense, of prudence, of patriotism, vote an emphatic condemnation of that corrupt Government which has so grossly outraged them all. THE WEST PETERBORO QUIBBLE. Hon. Mr. Gipes has been charged with casting one of the most grossly unjust votes which was ever recorded by the unscrupulous party of S8irJohn Macdonald. He has been charged with noting de- liberately to deprive the majority of the electors ui a constituency of the Provinee, of their franchise, by seatings member in the House who had been defeated by a majority at the polls. What is his de- fence? Why, he says his party did all they could do, to do jrstice, that they acted in accordance with British practice, that they could. hot unseat the man who was unjustly returned,' without a fair and deliberate trial.7 What are the facts, we suppose it will} be con- ceded that the Returning Officer had no right to return the candidate who re- ceived the miniority of votes--that he had no right to take the part of a parti- zan, und prouvounce a partisan legal judgement on the qualification of the candidates. It was nat the place to give effect to the quibble under which it was falsely alleged that Mr. Beninax had not | | | House. put in his qualifications in time. His whole duty was to receive the returns, to tot up the number of voteson this side and on that, aud then to declare the cau- didate having the majority of votes duly lected. If the defeated candidate had any grievance he had his legal tribunal, which was nof the Returning Office. Mr. Gibbs admits this; M. M. C. Cameron endorsed it last night with his opinion as a lawyer. It is quite clear then, the Re: turning Officer exceeded his duty, and that the case when Parliament opened was not one of a contested election, but one in which the Returning Officers' de- liberate mal-retarn Bad to be remedied, the proper way to proceed in which case, by all precedent, was to regret the wrong immediately by a vote of the Mr. Gmes declared that the whole matter was conducted according to English practices. Let us séa. When Mr. O'Donovan Rossa was elected to the English House of Commons although it | was a matter of public notoriety that he | was disqualified from sitting, although the | returning efficors' were cognizant of this, | when Rossar received his majority 'of | votes, he declared him elected, and he was | ejected from the House. [English practice | has sume respect for the soveieign rights | of the people. And again Mr. Gibbs says | that they didn't regret the injustice be- | cause it wouldn't be fair to deprive the | sitting member, Mr. Cluxton, of his seat | in such a Wanner' And what is the fact | again! Why, at that time Mr. Cluxton | wasn't in the House. He wasn'ta mem. | ber of it. * He hadn't taken the oath, He | had refused to come to accept the seat, | and it was only after Mr. Gibbs vote, by | which Mr. M. Bertram was deprived of | his seat, and after a great deal of persua- | sion ou part of Sir John Macdonald, after | a whipper-in had been sent all the way | from Ottawa to Peterboro', to persuade | him, that Mr. Cluxton, who had always | preeiously held the reputation of being an | honorable man, consented to go down and | "occupy the neat won hy such dishonorable means. Just note these facts, electors, | and don't be gnlled by any of Mr. Gibbs' | quibbles and clap-trap. He did vote and | he succeeded in it--to disfranchise the | pecple of West Peterboro', and Le ought | to be held responsible for it. PICKERING: COUNOIL. Saturday, June 14th, 1873. The Pickering Council met pursuant to | adjournment. . Members all present. | Minutes of last mesting read and approv- | od UNION Meriing iN OSHAWA. Splendid Reception of Mr. Helden. Wr. Gibbs, Dis pointed, Loses his Another meeting was held here last eveniug, in the drill shed, at which there was a very large attendance. = Speeches were delivered by Hon. T. N. Gibbs, M. P., Mr. Holden, Mr. F. W. Glen, Mr. T. P. White, Mr. Larke, Mr. Wood, and Mr. Mackenzie. 2 . Mr. Cowan occupied the chair, and in- troduced Mr. Gibbs to the meeting, who spoke at considerable length in defence of the egurse hid had pursued in Parliament, and inf 'extennation of his eunduct with regard to the vute on the Peterboro' case. The difference between that and the case of Mr. Cockburn was great. He said it consisted in the one case that the election had been declar<d void, and in the other a return had been made, and in the lat- ter case Parliameut had no right fo inter- fere. The Sonth Renfrew case would te referred to the proper committee to be tried, and would be legally anll rightfully disposed off by them. Hy excused the' Government from taking any action in the matter, because no one had ever! thought of unseatizig M+. O Reilly. With regard to the Pacilic Railway Scandal, ke contended that Mr. Huntington should have explained his grounds for making so grave a charge when he made his moti mn for the Committee of Enquiry, and hoped, in conclusion, that the clectors would | send him back at the head of the poll, to take his place in the Government of the country. (Loud cries of * We'll elect you to stay at home." * You will go in." (Cheers and groans.) Mr. Holden was then introduced. He said there was no personal differences be- tween him and Mr. Gibbs, and that this { was simply. a contention between Reform and Couservative principles. He defend persecuted brethren in New and to show their appreciation of the lib. eral conduct of the Reform party on that Mr. Matthew Cameron from a high Tory point of view, made a really sensible and logical argument, ¢on- trasting very strongly with' the rambling, idiotic vapourings of Mr, Rykert. Hon, Mr. Mackenzie then came forward. and was received with the most enthusias- definition of the great differences between the Tory and Liberal parties, showing Low the former had always opposed the great Refuring, and never accepted them until forced to do. and even then; when Re- forms were forced upon them, and they. chance, then they commenceda reactionary policy 81d deliberatelyjseck to undo all that. the people have done. Hesnstained the cases in which the Government of Sir Joha Macdonaid had broken through the prom. ises of the British North Amercan Aet, ' by appropr ating the public monies to local objects in direct defiance of its proyisions,'. aud in ¢ontraven'ion of one of the two great points which the they had secured in in the case of the principles of representa- tion by population, which was most em- phatically embodied in onr constitution. ' They had deliberately violated and set at, grossly uafair représettation to British Columbia and Manitoba. They had thus ,° subverted all that the Liber als of Ontario . had worked for and procured in Confeder- ° ation, and by their own. ppeonstitutional : action, by means of altering our. constitu- tion by an accidental majority in the House - cocrupt Government, they, the Tory party', wore responsible for creating a sectional feeling, and reopening those old questions which were thought to have been settled in - 1867, and done with forever. He showed up some of Mr. Rykert's absurdities, and doe: ed lifwmself $0 several inu wd lying attacks that had been wade upon him by une of the stump orrtors on Mr. Gibus' behalf, aud said that although he was not a mau of 'great power, perhaps he would be able to take this Guli-th to the ground with a stone from" his sling. (Cheers.) ¥ the reports of his committees were any thing like correct, he felt cértain that Mr. Gibbs would be defeated, and he (Mr. Holden) would go in at the top of the poll on Monday next. (Che rs and cries of * We'll send yon in.") He declared that had it not been for Mr. Gibls' vute | on 'hs West Pete b ro ca @ he would not Petitiond® presentsd of John: BE.

Report received and dado Mr. Miller moved that the Reeve grant his order on the treasarer in favor of Mr. Millar introduced a by-law whic! this country, and send him in at the top of the poll on Monday next. (Load and prolonged cheers.) Mr. Glen tended that we to build up a national party, devoid of sectional cries and feelings ; such a party in- his opinion is the party of John A. Macdonald, and he Moped the Electors wotld *oll np a splendid majority for Mr. Gibbs, his nomines, on Monday next. Mr, T. P. White was /mecvived with cheers. He mid he could well understand the feelings of thuse who groaned, as he knew himself lately what it was to be defeated. (Cheers). These parties wefe saticipating their own agonies on Monday. next. (Cheers and laughter). Hal fair play been given at the last election, and the voluntary promise made to him by Mr. Gibbs--that that no undue influence should be nsed--heen carried out in the good faith in which it was accepted, the result would have been all the other way from what it was, (Cheers and cries of "That's correct.") lowever, they had now found out their weak points, and they would be fools if taey did not fortify themselves at these points. (Chuers). At this juncture there was some slight inter. ruption, whe" the Chsiraan, with all the geal of a rabid partizen, said Mr. White 'evald rot expect a fair hearing, if he made such insulting remarks as those, at which there - was much langhter and amusement. He contended that Mr. Gibbs' pretensions of independ could no longer be sustained. He was prepared to.prove that Mr. Gibbs had violated the promise that he had made to him at the last election, with regard t) the expendi- ture of money.

He charged Mr. T. P. White with having gone to Dr, McGill, and endsavured to force money out of that gentlemin' Mr. White said the sta'ement was most ungualifiedly untrne. He had never avked nor received a cent from Dr. McGill dur- ing his election, Mr. Wood then briefly went into the questions of the day, proving beyond doubt in the minds of overy intelligent man present, that the course, tinancially, of the Macdonald Government was most tad | criminally reckless; and its course, poli- tically, extravagantly corrupt. Mr. Wood was well listened to, an but for the oe- casional interruption of a few of the jne- vitable * small boy" tribe, his remarks were followed by enthusiastic cheering from the audience. i Mr. Rykert then followed, and in » was read three several times and passed to 0. 362, entitled a br-law bonus to the Mn. ay Qn the motion i adjourn. est. misrepresentation, the most un'ruths, eudeavored fo Wood's home truths; but 20th of July noxt. h posed throughout of the gross: | mistat He then peviowsd ast ot the votes which Mr, Gibbs hai given in the House of Comwmons,showing that thay gentleman throughout the latter part of his career, at least, had voted steadily for . every bad and corrapt measure of Sir John Macdonald's Government. ° Fi Mr. Gibbs then replied in a gross and ufigentlemanly - personal attack: on Mer. | Holden, which we do not think he would cate to have repeated in these columns.
