lest it might interfere with the spontaneous expression of the electors of kingston but now that the election is over and mr mac donald has taken his scat we shall not refrain m one observation which is justly due to those who have xo nobly returned him at the recent contests for civic honors it wasanjostly eat in the teeth of the electors that none but an irishman had a chance of success wherea it was the alteinpt to pro scribe irishmen that created the temporary excitement mad they been let alone the effect would hare been like the uobiased choice of mr macdonald the election of the best men willing to serve irrespective of country or creed the truth of this assertion is clearly proved by the unanimous return of mr macdonald who were his warmest friends and most active canvassers

impudence and impertinence surpass ibat of any other part of the province having managed to get through these worthier i jumped into a large fourhorse omnihus and drove to weeks hotel amidst a
