» EE ---------- Port fntariaBbserbn ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR ERY JAMES BAIRD - - - Editor. 4" PORT PERRY, JULY 25, 1878. Partyism. present eircumstances Under 'there are really only two parties in, Canada, the friends and the enemies of the country and under the banner . of one or the other of these two pol- jticians of all grades and shades must range themselves, the Tory, Conservative, Grit, Reformer, and Independent however t they may be to their seperate parties fndividually,w hether they will or no they must range themselves under one of the two flags, viz, the friends or enemies of the country. In the one class or the other all must be found there can be neither a neutral nor a third party, those who do not work for the country's good are necessarily doing it an injury ; it matters not to whiéh man or party the individual may pin bis faith if he has no higher aim than strength- ening his party, or bolstering up the fortunes of he mis-directing his efforts and must be ranked amongst the enemies of the an individual is country. There is really no political ques- tion in Canada worth a moment's consideration. Whatever tends to the good of the country benefits those on whom the burden of main- taining the country chiefly rests-- the toiling ones--and whatever tends to injure the country increases the burdens of the toiling ones and deminishes their power to bear these burdens. The drones or un- productive class may look with some degree of indifference as on tothe management of public affairs such men fatten on a country's ruin and reckless governments always afford the largest amount of pickings 40 their creatures; so that as a gener. al rule the drones prefer a corrupt spend-thrift government to that which is economical and vigilant. Hence electors need not be at all surprised when they find every member of a corrupt governmunt backed by all hangers on working as for sweet life to retain their the reins of power, neither is it at all surprising--taking buman nature into account-- to find the friends: of extravagance snd corruption falsi- fying the record and impugning the motives of those who seck to put a stop to the waste and plunder of un worthy rullers. It cannot be deni ed that the toiling ones huve the government of the country entirely in their own hands through the ballot box, they being in the vast majority could fill the legislature every time with just such represen- is better to bear the ills they have than fly to others that they know not of, that if the present Grit Government be turned out that the Conservatives will get the Government into their hands and that they will proveeven worse than the present rulers. Would these people try and make us believe that as a matter of necessity the country must be plundered and misruled to a greater or less extent and that our only choice is between bad and worse. If the workers understand their own best interests and will use their suffrages as they ought to do no man or party will receive their support except on the most unequi- vocal pledges of rigid economy and sweeping retrenchment in the expenditure. That the Mackenzie Government, every man of them, have forfeited [4 claim to the unpurchased support of an enlightened people will, we | think, be admitted by all who know | anything of their record, we cannot | beliave thut any map desiring the | weal and prosperty of the country would poll his vote to sustain in power a Government which has done more to render thy obtaining and retention of office a matter of corrupt purchase and barter than any of its predecessors, and that is saying a good deal. us to know how the present Gov- But it puzzles ernment can put on brass enough to come before an offended and dis- appointed people and dare to ask a new lease of power.

These promises have not only been violated but they have been one and all of them trampled in the very gutters until the Govern- ment of Canada has become a by- word and a reproach, the shame of its people and the laughingstock of outsiders. The relations and friends of the ruling clique have become rich through the spoils while the country has become poorer from The profits of manufacturers and merchants have been reduced to a shadow, whild work has been scarce and wages about one half of what they formerly were, still our extravagant rulers yoar to year. have been increasing their number and nearly doubling their own pays.

Cornwall, July 17. would for very shame, for the credit, of the constituency, if it wore possi=- ble,throw the mantle of charity over all, but a mantle as thick as a pot ush kettle could not conceal the dis- grace which such an outrage brings on a whole community. Treasurer Wood with the treasury of Ontario at his elbow tells "my dear Stafford" that a further subsidy is to be given to the Grit Catholic organ, the now famous or infamous Tribune and so anxious was this Grit evangelizer to let "my dour Stafford" know the good things that were prepared for him that he was willing to trample rough shod right through the 4th commandment to effect his purpose. | It is said that there is only one stop between the sublime and the ridi- culous tut it would have been sub limely ridiculous had Treasurer Wood added his other Grit rag the Post to the Tribune and sent them out a begging together. Of course the Zribune would huve been asham- ed of his chum and the combination would have been spurned wherever it went; but it would have been amusing to see the figure the two would have cut. We never doubted Wood's subsidizing the Post but we were scarcely prepared to find him subsidizing another Grit rag and seeking to force it on unwilling recipients. But when we find such men as Thomas Paxton, Esq., the noted member for N.Ontario, seeking to plunge a large, wealthy and in- telligent community into the most infamous disgrace we scarcely know whatjto makeofit. This is the outcome of the 750 papers for which Treasurer Wood wanted to canvass on Sunday, and the $1,500 which the provincial treasurer said was to be paid to the Tiribune. Mr. Wood proposed that 30 members were to get 25 copies each to be thrown round amongst the electors of the right stamp. But it appears that Mr. Paxton is con. sidered a double barreled gun for he gets a double charge.-- This may be in some consideration for the standing of the constituency. Wood bad only to deal with "My dear Stafford" and a Victoria con- stituency, but Paxton had to deal with different material he had to face the staunch yeomanry of On- tario, a far more difficult kind of game to bring down, and would con. sequently require a double charge.

"There was no inter mission in the healthful recreation till 5 p. m. when the time came to retire for tea which was held in the basement of the church, It was evident that the exercises of the afternoon had in no way impared the relish for this not unimportant part of the programme.

But the earth is about seventeen times larger than the moon during the moon's passage, consequently the shadow can cover but a comparatively small portion of the earth's surface, hence on much the larger portion of the earth there will be po shadow or eclipse; on a certain portion only part of the shadow will be ween, so that the shadow or eclipse will be total over but a very small portion of the earth, We in Ontario will pass through part_of the shadow and sheath have what is called a partial eclipse,» Jittle more than half the surface of the sun will appear ob- scured to us on Monduy afternoon.

To accomplish so cherished a design Mr. Thos, Paxton some months ago ad- dressed a letter to a prominent Catholic gentleman of tha township of Mara, in which he requested that the names of fifty Catholic uyoters" be forwarded to him, in order that the Tribune may be mailed to them "grat- uitously." This letter I have preserved, It will be seen that the modus operandi of Mr. Thomas Paxton and Mr Treasurer Wood are identical, and, if there exists the shadow of a difference at all, it consists in the fact that the former is willing to make twice the sacrifice of the Cabinet Minister. There is | enough to challenge our admiration in the conduct of those pure statesmen. Unlike the "Big Push," who coerced bank. presidents and wealthy Senators to "come down hand- d | somely,' they, in a spirit of loftiest - patriot- ism, shoulder the burden themselves, that e sacred cause of political morality may be and kept bought for a three cent news paper every week must have a tontemptible opinion of them.-- This would he working the thing down to a particularly fine poinv and is worthy the mén who are at the head of it, To seek by the gratuit- ous delivery of 750 Catholic news papers every week to so influence the electors as to induce them to vote for the continuance in office of a political party whose rule is only now, every interest is being pushed with an energy and zeal no less cheerful than assur- ing.
