addition wc shall give a short analysis of the speeches made upon the occasion mr g mckenie was the first speaker upon this gentleman since his conversion from wlnggtsm to toryism is thrown all the dirty work of the to ries he addressed the meeting at groat length and spoke with his customary volubility he gave a rather plausible apology for mr hagermanscou- djifiiiild h to answer four out of the six questions which some anonymous scribbling wag had put to the inhabitants of kingston in which accord ing to our humble judgment the querist had much the best of the dispute he was rather personal to wards dr barker by way of shewing hisgnod breed ing in regard to these same questions which appear not to have been swallowed by mr ilagcrmaus friends since they stuck so much in 1r mckcn- zics ihroat lie sat down amid the huzzas of all the idlers strangers nonclcciors and boys who shouted as if their sole existence depended upon the strength of their illugs dr- barker made a few remarks upon the folly of attributing to his pen all the handbills or squi which were printed at his establishment john snlwnnn cartwright esq was the next speak er he began as usual with him to talk of the high high claim which he had upon the atlrntion of the electors of kingston he expatiated greatly upon the splendid talents of his friend hagerman and set about his task with hammer and tonga for about half nn hour during which time if he did not con vince in hearers of the truih of his cucouiuins he at lent pin them in possession of the real value of his nihrnfr tfr palxi huifirrl nti tftr tmilhultum of his friend g- jlckcnzie that if he were solomon by name he was not solomon by nature mr yarker objected to the nomination of mr hagerman on the ground of his holding an official situation which did not leave him at liberty or lei sure to attend to the duties of representative of king ston he thought the meeting could not do better than nominate the last speaker in preference to jtfr hagerman mr g mckenzic tatd his objection to such an alteration on the ground that mr cartwright being confessedly no conjurer we forget the precisewords mr m nude useofjhemightiiiuch the more easily be seduced from the strict letter of his duty by the radicals thtn could that lion in their paths mr ha german mr d willliamson inadeafew bricl remark in which he plainly demonstrated how little mr hag erman hnd done in reality for the town of kingston and how utterly unworthy he was of the future kind ucss of its inhabitant he was more than once in tercepted byjtffi mckenzie who apparently wished to have all the talk to himself and the impartiality of the chairman was displayed in allowing such ir regularities and also in permitting the buffooneries of mr- jeflers who sit at his right hand an attempt was made by the liberal party to di vide the meeting on the resolution which nominated mr hagerman a trial to obtain fiir play which wns resisted is by the tones stoutly since the result would have tfhown on which side of the question the rent electors would stand it was evident that mr cartwright rates his own abilities much higher than does his friend mr- g mckenzic because although be was considered not sulficicntly talented to represent the town of king sioo yet he publicly announced himself at the close oi tlm meeting us candidate for the comities nf len nox and addingtofi a compliment and condescen sion which will no doubt he properly appreciated by the electors thereof not that we have any doubt of belittle gentlemans success yet for the sake of re freshing his memory these electioneering times we beg leave to quote mrs ilaftns recipe to cook a hare firt ratrh a hare then skin it c ac judging nf ibe result of the meeting as a whole we do not
