Prepared for the Slaughter. We find from the Toronto Globe of the 16th that our Grit friends have been agonizing again at Cannington on the 15h inst., and this time succeeded in securing 4 lamb for the slanghter in the person of Mr. George Wheler, Reeve of the village ot Uxbridge, whom the con- vention unanimously pitched upon as the unfortunate vietim who should be offered in sacrifice for the heinous political sins of the Grit party, and thus dispose of Mr Wheler's preten tions for all time to como. Of course it is their own show and we have got nothing to do with it, but why under heaven they passed such men as Mr. Charles Robinson and Mr. Joscph Bigelow and selected Mr. Ceo. Whe'er, will remain a political puzzle to be solved by future gen- erations. Were it not that we know that many of the representatives present at the convention are hon orable men and would scorn to play political traitor we certainly would suppose that the convention had somehow or other been under Con- servative influence and that while they did not wish to allow the Con servative nominee to be returned by aclamation they selected the wepk- est obstacle they could find to op- pose him. But are our Grit friends certain that Mr. Wheler is on their side of politics after all? Of course every one knows that the last time that gentleman appeared in the political arena he was armed cap-a- pie in the most glittering, formidable wool-died Tory armour and engaged in deadly, political combat against ourdear and esteemed friend and represeotative, Thomas Paxton, Esq the very qiant essence of double distilled Grittism, the very marrow of the thing.

The Orange Brethren of North Ontario having determined to celebrate the Anni. 'versary of the battle of the Boyne in the to hold any celebration in any other part of the riding. The morning looked rather threatening and gave quite a sprinkling o rain ; but nothing daunted the brethren sct out from all parts of the riding, determined to hold their celebration; and one lodge after another came pouring iuto the village, led by their Band and followed by large num- ber of friends, male and female. The sev. eral partios appeared to vie with each other in their exhibition of kindly feelings and to As lodge after lodge entered the village their makes the celebration a grand success. handsome flags and banners floating on the gentle breeze, and led by the strains of martial music, a rousing cheer of welcome greeted each lodge on its arrival, The village of Uxbridge was in its holiday attire and had a magnificent appearance from whichever direction one entered the village. There are but few towns in the Dominion in which the foot prints of the march of social intellectual and material progress are more numerous or more permanently indented than in the village of Uxbridge. Every- thing about it has an air of solid prosperity without the slightest manifestation of starch or buckrum, Toone whose visits are by no means frequent her onward progress is very At ber present rate of advancement her not dis- marked and most satisfactory. tant future is easily predicted--we don't by any means confine our remarks to the in- creasing structures but we include these in the manifestations of the onward march of moral, social and material progress which : representative of the Grits of North Ontario and that by their grace he held the honorable position of M.P.P and that Mr. Wheler in seeking to unseat him was not only acting an antagonistic part against Mr. Paxton, against all the Grits in the riding, but against every principle held dear by the average Grit throughout the Dominion. Under such circumstances one can scarcely believe that the were sincere in selecting a candidate representatives of so easy poiitical virtue; of whose political whereabouts it is impossible to predict twenty four hours a head. There is no saying but that he may bave joined the Tory phalanx ere the contest is baif through. The omnipresent Pattullo, the meddlesome secretary of the Grit central association, prosent as a matter of course, put in his gab and did his little best to de- ceive the convention by seeking to Toronto was make them believe that the pro- spects of the party ar2 satisfactory while be knows Letter. Wo can sympathize with Joseph Gould, Esq., ex M. P., and are not at all surpris- ed that the nomination should take the wind out of his sails, as father of the party, however, and for the honor of politics he ought to have entered a more energetic protest. Conservalives of course have no cause to complain of the nomination there will be no difficulty in wiping out Mr. Wheler, and so long as he keeps on the Grit side it is all right; but should he turn round and run on the Conservative side, of which there is every liklihood, he wont be much in the way but still it will be a both- or to have two eandidates running on the same ticket.--We shall sce. ; -- TheLast Dard.

The mercantile interests are pretty well pushed and customers have no cause to complgin of either quality of goods or prices paid ; and as for the extent and quality of the botel accommodation there are but few towns which can compare with It, Arches, flags and bunting were in profu- sion throughout the Village, and " God Save the Queen" and similar expressions of Afterthe magnificent arch in the centreof the village that stretching from Mr. Peter Carmichacl's place to the Livery establishment on the loyalty met the cye at every turn. opposite side of the street was the best we saw. Our friend Petor is now keeping a com: fortable boarding house in the Village.

Croxall Master; 954 Green® bank, Chas. Brown Master, and 1,089 Utica, J. Dafoe Master. After dinner the Marshals, Bros. Samuel Baird, Charles Brown, George Brown, Hugh Gregg, mounted their chaigers, and the Brethren soon fell into their places, and the bands began to discourse sweet music, Amongst other Bands we noticed the Mark: ham Band, which did capital service ; this band is strong as well in numbers; the ex- cellence of their instruments, and the skill with which they are haudled. The Uxbridge Band is excellent, aud makes superior music, they are strong in numbers, their dress is in capital taste and gives them a bandsome appearance, First.class instruments placed as these are in skilful hands never fail to produce such music as all relish, The Sonya Band has not been long in ex. istence but it did itself very much credit by its appearance and the capital music it pro- duced. The martial fife and drum too did good service and were regarded with favor. All being ready, the procession set out marching round the principal streets of the village and then into the park. The sight was agrand ape some fourteen lodges in their attractive regalia; a noble company. of iutelligent, orderly men celebrating the nniversary of an event whose memory is dea to thom while they seek £0 annoy no jone, + .

Some young man who handled the branch insolently turned it upon the crowd in the street. Under any circumstances such an act should have becn punished severely. Had the water been clean it was bad enough but it wag liquid mud which was poured upon the crowd. The apparatus is complete and we can't see how any fire could live under it, As the Fire Company were pass- ing up to the Mansion House, Mrs. Conboy and one of her children were in a buggy on the hill, when the horse took fright, and running up the steep bank, the buggy upset, and the horse dashing off, Mrs. Conboy was severely injured ; and the buggy badly broken.

The negotia- tions on Hanlan's behalf were carried on by the President of the Hanlan Club, Colonel Shaw, and Mr, David Ward, who express their gratification with the manner in which Courtney and his friends met them, They strove for two hours to persuade the Union Springs man to meet Hanlan on Toronto Bay, but he declined positively, making it a special condition that the race should be rowed on a land-locked lake.

But while all thie 1s admitted, few very few, indeed are aware of the depths to which they are capable of descending. The following lettor which appeared in the Lindsay Warder of last week tells its own tale, # Toronto, 2nd Feb'y, 1878. " My Dear STAFFORD : © There is a movement on foot now to give some aseistance to the Zribune. 1 sup- pose that you are aware that we in this Government gave from $200 to 250 apiece. That also a sum was raised by the members of the Ottawa Government; in all Mr. McCrosson must have received not less than $3,000. Rtill, that he is losing money I have no doubt, and it is not fair that he should be called upon to carry on this paper at a loss to himself, when it was done strictly and purely in the intercet of the Reform party. It was a bold undertaking under very trying circumstances, and be must be sustained. There is a movement on foot now amongst the Reformers in the House that each member shall take a cer- tain number of the Zribune, as many as possible to pay in advance. Iintended to have called last Sunday upon you for the purpose of obtaining the names of some twenty-five persons, to whom it would be advisable to send the Z'ribune, and I would then subscribe for the twenty-five, paying in advance. I would take it as a great favor if you would be kind enough to pick out the names of some twenty.five perscns in North Emily and Ops, who are not receiving the Tribune now, to whom I could have it sent ; it would do me a great deal of good, and Mr. McCrosson, and be a benefit also to the Government, Speaker Wells and a good many others will also subscribe. In other words, if we had about say thirty who would subscribe' for twenty-five papers each, it would be a matter of $1.500 to Mr. McCrossen, and an enlarged circulation of about 750.

We are not asked for our advice on the matter but we are greatly mis- taken if the committee do not find Lake Scugog infinitely superior to any of tho other lukes referred to. The matter may with all safety be left to the committee whose exper- ience in such matters will soon lead them to decide in favor of the Scugoz It is a handsome, picturesque lake whose thorough!y land locked posi- tion and the conformation of the shores secures a uniform placidity like a soa of glass.

NE A Lunatic at Large. T. C. P., whose effusion appears in the Mail of the 17th, if not writing from the Lunatic Asylum, ought to be, comes out with what he very likely calls "an article" on the Hanlan.Courtney 8culling Match. T, C. P. is evidently an unfortun- ate . inhabitant of that overgrown hamlet on the Burlington Bay, krown by its inhabitants as the little, ambitious city of Hamilton. The scribbler baving learned, it appears, to bis surprise and disgust, that the great Hanlan-Courtney sculling race is likely to come off on the waters of Sengog, has lost all control of himself, and fairly raves over the superiority of Burlington f return from St. John, to see which of these | courses offers the best advantages, pecuniatly | seven o'clock with Haulan's second Elliott | the inducemen's for the selecticn of | T. C. P. it seems--poor man--has been led astray by somo goose ex- claiming as "he passed the little Burlington, " What a place for a boat race!" Notwithstanding the | raving of this would.be dictator, his {play around the Sea of Gallileo or Js mopings on the Mirror Lako in the Yosemite Valley, the Hanlan- Courtney committee will have some: thing to say in the matter though it should be after T. C. P. has done. In the first place the Committeo will select the most snitable water, and when Lake Scugog and Burlington Bay comes into comparison, the Bay will have no more chance than a common gutter would against the Mediterranean. T. C. P. talks of pecuniary inducements, of course the cluster of houses at the end of Burlington Bay, is for the best of al} reasons, to ¢reep out of this--the railways are to provide the bonus; but when the matter ot bonus comes to be tested Hamilton will be no. where ; of course it is no disgrace to be poor, it they were honest. Hanlan and Courtney would both like to row where they would be assured of fair play. In this parti. cular Hamilton cannot stand com. parison for onc moment with Port Perry, there is no treachery ever practised here, and as for the com- fort und advantage of the tens of thousands of spectators, those who know tho superior advantages of Scugog, and all of them, if they knew the many advantages would give a hundred votes tor Scugog for every one they would poll for the Buarling- ton burlesque.

Here Orangeism can never be recognized, for the members of the Order are guilty of violating the law of the land and are liable so be sent to the penitentiary, The Catholics of Canada have won a great victory, loyally aud legally. -- They bave fought the good .fight, and they have for ever removed tlre leprous parasite | a. of Orangeism from the Province of Quebec, Eet them use this triumph with becoming | vot moderation, and let them rejoice, not so much at the defeat of Orangeism, as they should at the proclamation of their rightto walk the streets of this city without being | subjected to the rude insults of an illega society," &c,--(See Bills and Pros | "The.

Every rowdy and cut-throat walked around with their five and seven shooters in their pockets, aye and in their hands. Respectable people were searched, annoyed and handled by every imp of the law that might come along and even roughs taking advantage of the unlim- ited lea-way in Blake's stupid Act, in many instances constituted themselves searchers of the person, and respectable persons weve question themselves in future as fo whether there may not be more safety in the viola- tion than the keeping of the law in that respect Some two bundred 6f the roughest of the rough came from Quebec on the 12th and all of them carried revolvers and were fio way backward in using thenr but the un armed, orderly portion of the crowd were at the mercy of such armed roughs.
