only conclude that the sarcastic vein which runs througliout the whole emanate from the 9 anstay jsffli have allowed to take possession of your boiotn to the occlusion of your setter feelings in con- sequence ofthatgenilomans honoring and odoro ing the columns of the herald instead of the chronicle with this conclusive proof of bieun extinguishable regard for the welfare of this pro vince if ir

the hammer of his rhettric indeed i think it very probable that to mure his subsequent silence they will call him ti the speakers chair for notwithstanding theauttori- ty of mr speaker papineau to the contrary it is the duty of a speaker to be mum and mhen air in that distinguished seat his modest phi the white wig will adore dropt beneath a thocnj nor sir can i sufficiently deprecate your paltry

nonsense it is true that fail memory would not perish with his profile for hia famo can never die- but still 1 would have our remotest posterity have some thing from which they could form a idea of the graceful manly figure of tho man j hia noble i intelligent and if i did not not fcor overwhelm- i ing hia sensitive feelings with confusion i would far the carojiicte mris eorroa pursuant to notice bidwell and perrys grand grievance meeting took place on thursday last between 11 and 12 oclock the iaufel hsf cflltitf ay tflfflhkgc aui cfol ng a genuine grievances i a person who stood near me expressed great satisfaction that such a sharp impartial man as uncle da vis should be placed in the chair sharp he certainly is if you take bim edgeways hut his tmjartlwtttj to use a vulgsf expression was like the handle of a jug all onono side ho endeavored to look as dignified ajid important as possible but it needed not a lavater to disco ver that the mana egotism had turned sour his partiality throughout the whole of the pro ceedings of the day was aa rank aa the ripeness of a rabbits tail about 12 oclock mr perry came forward to address not as bad been anticipated at least four or five thousand inhabitants for at tho time 1 apeak of notonq hundred persons were pre senl his speech was well mouthed but cun ning clerks can tc the apocrypha as loud as the scripture his presumption appeared to be in exact proportion to his ignorance the last toul the first boundless i think it would be well on such occasions to adopt the solicitor generals advice viz to get a great grievance speech printed atid for each of the orators to point to it in succession and say gentlemen that is my speech mr perrys differed from the speeches in gourlays day only in this par ticular that a considerable part of it referred to mackenzies expulsion towards its conclusion he expressed a hope that if his political conduct did not meet the approbation ot the meeting they would declare it by their votes as he wished to know it after again begging for a frank ex pression of opinion on that subject ho retired with 1 am persuaded precisely the same feel ings as tho lady who after praying to be made good wept for fear heaven would take her at her word the first resolution was then put and a few certainly not more than twenty hands held up in its favor as no one thought proper to oppose it the second was read us purport was merely to approve of the political career of messieurs bidwcll and perry and if as mr mackenzie af terwards observed when he adverted to this reso lution silence could be with men as it was with women construed into consent it was also car ried mr bidwell came forward to return thanks evidently in a very had humor nature certain ly intended aim fur something better than a demogogue a mere human ant bear who uses every wile to entrap the unwary with his tongue he touched on the ordinary exciting topics and labored to create a little excitement he niiht as well have tried to strike fire with a frozen po- tatoe and a brick not a single cheer waa elicit ed except from some eight or ten of his thick and thin supporters after the third resolution was ead mr mackenzie of kingston came forwanand solicited permission to address the meeting it was granted with the greatest ala crity i wish i had it in my power to 6end you a copy of his speech for it was superlatively happv the assertion that nothing is so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth was amply verified it was a bold and fearless appeal to the good sense of the people and when he spoke of mr bidwells having been hurled by the free voice of a free people from the lofty seat he hsd occupied in a former parliament and contrasted his conduct towards mr mcnab with the course he had adopted relative to the late member for the cmnty of york mr bidwell shrunk from the eastigation like parchment scorched by the fire mr mackenzie spoke at great length and jamcluded by requesting the chairman to put this resolution l that this meet ing approves of the conduct of sir john col- home before it was put a debate ensued but mr bidwell never uttered a ward either in re ply to mr mackenzie or any other subject pub licly after the dressing he got ivom that gentle man a young candidate for fame however volunteered in his favor he ajjlicted the meeting with a long winded sing song ding dong con venticlelike harangue in which the arguments were in comparison to the words like two grains of wheat in a bushel of chaffs you imght search all day ere you find them and when found they are not worth the search tho youth had evidently been at a great feast of language and had picked up the scraps at length the resolution moved by mr mackenzie was put and carried by an overwhelming majority in deed below tho stand only six weight of the humbler grievance seeking drudgcsheld up their hands in opposition to it that i am aware of mr perry said in his first addre that if there was 4no excitement existing in ttese counties there ought to be the place vllected for the meeting was most favorable to ite agitators the surrounding inhabitants haaog been here tofore with only two or thiee hnmrablc excep tions thair wind and devoted adherents when mr mackenzie addressed the meeting the people left the house almost to a man and at thattimcone of the most respectable freehold ers in these counties endeapmd lo count them not aatisfied with hta fiat attempt he tried a second time afld arrived at ihe same re sult viz that there were not 29 persons pre sent the number of hands hdd up in favor of the grievance resolutiowwble the writer of this notice was present varied fcm fifteen to thirty these factaere i ahoum think suffi cient to satiafy messrs bidwell mi perry that there is at present not the lemt excitement existing in these counties whether their efforts will produce any venwwi to be pro ved i do not wish to attribt motivea to any man or body of men butmereadne5 do 1 assert thar the conduct oiemio jrvduals tho signs of die times that thep fc adopted the belief that it is better to reign in hell than nerve in heaven i the reign f poliikal demagogues is and al- baabecn oae of anarchy and oppression mentioned and that too in ihe insulted coun ties of lenox 4c addington p s mr mackenzie proved by some ques tions put publicly tn mr perry that the re solution proposing a vote of thanks to him and mr bidwell was a regularly cot and dried af fair i wish to put a question or two to henry lather benjamin fairfield jr william j fair field joseph ilson and george h detlor who were appointed to draft an address to the king was not the address to his majesty which you are now trying lo obtain signatures to drawn up previous to the meeting i it not aheer humbug to pretend that the address in qurstion originated with you or with any of your number i call upon you to come forward in the face of the world like men and avow what you had to do in drawing up that address lawrtthat it did not originate witl the com mittee named in the resolution it is not your production yon were used as mere
