According to previous arrangement the ratepayers of the township of Reach assembled at the Township Hall, Man- ghester, on Friday and Saturday last, in order to vote on the Railway By-law. Most of our readers, we presume, are well aware 'how _that vote terminated ; but, for the information of those who did not attend on that occasion, we will state that the By.law was lost by a majority of 95--268 voting for and 363 against. n h Now we desire to say a few words respecting the position we thought it right and prudent to 'occupy anent this matter. We said in our last that we were aware how difficult a matter it was to make our readers thoroughly under. stand our disinterestedness in the whole scheme any more than as one of them- selves; and, in order that they may not be led away by any false notion-- especially as a statement has been made by at least one party, that we were sold to Whitby--we say, in consequence of such assertions, we are desirous to assure our friends that, in supporting the By- law, we were merely actuated hy a de, sire to see improvements take place in our midst, which would, of course, bene. fit us in common with every other rate. payer in this neighborhood. Our readers know full well that we never supported the Whitby scheme until all hopes of seeing the Manvers road constructed was lost: neither should we have done so at all, with the infor mation of the back country we were at that time familiar with ;--but, having seen a new map and receiving additional information thereby of the vast coun- try to the north--the whole trade of which would have bgen ours in the course of time,--and,Wfter giving our undivided attention to the matter,~we arrived at the conclusion that to neglect advocating a scheme that we in this sec- tion would necessarily be benefitted by, seemed to us so much like a dereliction of duty, that we were decided im. mediately on the course to pursue. We should never have countenanced the scheme had there been the most remote possibility of having the Manvers road built. We conceive that we have done our duty ; and we are yet to be con: vinced that to have carried the By-law would have been an injury to Reach. We apprehend, on the contrary, that the people of these villages, in with h Bth that the French loss was 9,000 to 12,000 men hors de lebration may be!said to have com. menced from this $vice, as immedi- ately afterwards th¥ Superintendent took the control of the children, when quite a number occupied the attention of the large andience, whose attend. ance was Tullos Jaggons the morning gathering. very excellent pieces were then pgeited by the chil- dren, who severally delivered them in a highly credi manner.

Many of us have been from our earliest youth connected with and instructed by you in this Sabbath School, and we believe that your object has ever been to set before us the grand and glorious truths con- tained in the Holy Secriptures--we therefore invite you tu accept, as a testimony of all we have said, this copy of the same--beseeching yon to lightning, and accompanied with lond and terrific claps of thunder, but hap- pily at this time al{f were comfortably seated in the sul batial building de: voted tothe servidg of God.

Clason willbe happy speedily ensue, Mr. son Wil to ws sabscriptions for the relief of the sufferers. The above we clipped from Monday's "Globe," and knowing our farmer friends in Ontario County must enterta'n a fellow feeling for the farmers ot another County, in dur beloved country, we felt it 10 be our duty to place the mattter be- fore them, believing that those who arein p of every ry of life, will of their abundance, freely bestow a trifle of help to these destitute families who are at the present time on the very share of abuse, with the exception of Coun- cillor Wright. I would like to know, Sir, why he has been allowed to escape ; for, surely, a more dogged, factions and useless man for a Councillor I never recollect to have met with. these g 13 y 2 I confess, Sir, that was! a member of that Board 1 should feel inclined to eonapel him to make a public apology for his pef- sonal and abusive language, . Your readers know the charge preferred against these' gentlemen: consequently it 1s needless for me to advert to his disgraceful language, | * He prates about what Councillor Wright did at the Council Board, and endeavors to make capital for that very conscientious gentleman by saying they (the Township Council) voted his resolution down when he moved thatthe By-law be deferred in order to see whether the ratepayers would sand a petition praying the Comneil to pass this By-law or not." I would like to know what lution carried or not, inasmuch as the By-law would have to be decided by the ratepayers.' Since your correspondent complains so much about the Railway By-law being passed by the Council without the request of the rate- payers, I would like to ask him why did ha not eengure Mr. Wright for bri Prohibitbry Liquor By-law before cil, and causing such a vast sum of the township's money to be expended in taking votes on that scheme? Did the ratepiye ask Councillor Wright to bring forward such alaw? Then why be so inconsistent, Mr. Ratepayer? The question is easily an- swered. Because the pure, DEVOTED, SELY- sacmipicmme COUNCILLOR WRIGHT whe the very man who wrote the tirade of abuso and mi 1 are now cofide ing ( ding to his own at the poll-meeting of Friday, the 17th). How he could have had the impudence to stand up and acknowledge himself the author of such an untrue and vile dosument is, beyond/my comprehension. Why did he not manfully sign his name to his communication 'when it was upen such an important subject? I suppose, because he was aware 'the same of cred would not have been verge of starvation. It app from the above statement that unless imme. diate relief reaches those destitute far. mers that death from starvation will be the inevitable result. Can our friehds hesitate 'when such a lamentable state of things exists in Huron? We believe not. The well-known benevolence of farmers generally we are confident will not allow this appeal to be made in vain, See.to placed in his statements had he done so. After all, Sir, I do not think the assertion ling to drop his opposition to the railway, did he receive the Reeveship, was not so very far from truth. It is well, however, to be ac- quainted with the sharacter of such fet ; it will have the effect of placing us on our guard at future periods; although 'I afraid, Sir, that you were correct in stating last week that the prospects of seeing another it farmers and the public g lly, and remember 'that * he that giveth fo the poor lendeth to the Lord."
