REFORM MEETING. Pursuant to notice the Central Committee of the North Ontario Reform Association met at Thompeon's Hotel, Brock, on Thureday, 13th net. The meeting was called for 10 o'clock a. m., but it did not take place till alter one o'clock--when on motion of Major Forman, the President, , | Abner Hurd, Eeq., took the chair. On rising the president said. that he felt happy at having another opportunity of meeting with the Association and seeing ro many staunch reformers around him.-- He said it was a considerable time since he last had an opportunity of meeting with the A iation, and he would like to say Le Pays says that the official of the phrase « Dominion of Canada," is Puissance du Canada. We would not dispute with our conf garding the Of- ial translation of the phrase, but we feel certain that it is not a correct translatioh. The proper lation woud be "D. du Canada." The word Dominion as used in this phrase does not mean power or au- thority ; it is used for territory, possession or estate. ee Oe HAVE PITY UPON ME O! MY FRIENDS, A wail is heard throughout the length and breath of the New York press in behalf of Mr. A. T. Stewart the king of the mer- chant princes of that busy city. Last year this extensive merchant had a net profit of $3,000000 while the paltry sum of $700000 is all he has cleared this year. We wonder rs | how the man can get along at all on the trifling sum of $83 per hour night and day Sundays and all. We dare eay that there are a few worse provided for than he in that city of extremes. rr -- = -- DOUBLE REPRESENTATION: The New Brunswick legislature has adopted, without division, the law prohibit ing double representation ; i. e., the same individual cannot hold a seat in both Local g as d with the facilities for making money, when one can claim all he makes.

He said that before the minutes ate real he would wish that the meeting would choose a chairman for the present meeting as he could not see short enough to distinguish these who might nse to address the meeting. The Secretary, Mr. Holden, was called upon to read the minutes of the last meet- ing of the Association. After reading the minutes the names of the gentlemen com- sing the central committee, and also the names of the various officers of the Township Societies were submitted.-- Minutes adopted. The president here remarked regarding the first meeting held at Thompson's.-- He said that he had been solicited by f- ferent parties to call the] Association to- gether, but the very weak state of his eye- sight had prevented him frem wishing to take any very active part in the matter; he much preferred keeping out of the contest, and he was exceedingly wel leased when he found that action had Done taken without him, and he never ex- pected but that the arrangement would go on harmoniously.

And so long-- e said--as we have a press sowing discord lamong us it will never be better. Itis indispensibly necessary, he said, that Re- formers be thoroughly "united ; and those who do not fall in, should not be considered He said that he con- ducted a Reform paper in this riding and things were conducted different then from what they are now. He would advise the committee to confirm what hs been done 10 slick to Thompson and Paxton, and vio- tory is sure. Mr. J.iE. Gould said that he had no inten- tion of saying any thing when he came to the meeting neither did he wish to occupy their time, but he could not refrain from ad- verting to the rather. disparaging remark which had been made regarding Mr. Gould. He said notwithstanding that Mr. Gould had had abundant reason for dissatisfaction with the action of the conveution, he dil not believe that Mr. Gould's course in limes past, could justify any one in insinuating that he (Mr. Gould) would not do his duty in the present inslance. He said that there had been many things done in these nom- inations of which Mr. Gould had good rea- son to complain ; but he was not the man to stand back when the party required his assistance, and they will find now that he won't be lacking in that devotion which through a long life he has ever ifested of the party at all. chafe, he says that no bovest man Would object to the Reach meeting ; each one cannot expect to get bis own choice in everything, he is aware that thereis a small leak in the ship somewhere.

BROWN FOR THE COMMONS, AND DR. M'GILL FOR THE LOCAL. Pursuant to notice the South Ontario Reform Convention, met at the Town Hall, Brooklin,, on Tuesday 18th insts, at 3 o'clock p. m. ' Mr. Heron, Esq., was called to the chair, and G. Y. Smith, Esq., was ap- pointed Secretary. The chairman thanked the Delegates for the honor they had confirred upon bim, and in a few well timed remarks pointed out the importance of the coming Elections and the necessity that there was for energy and unimity in the reform ranks. A. Farewell, E. Whitby, P. Taylor, Pickering, andD. L. Read, W. Whitby, Etqs., were appointed a committee on credentials. 'The ittee then went to work to towards the reform party ; but whether his friends might work as faithfully under the circumstances as they would have other- wise done, he could not tell. Mr. Holden placed his resignation in the hands of the chairman who submitted it to the meeting. Mr. Forman said that he was ex- ceedingly sorry to have the association deprived of the valuable services of Mr. Holden, but seeing that he was not a resi- dent of the riding, and did not wish to hold the situation any longer, he (Forman) would move for the reception of the resignation. Carried. A vote of thanks was tendered him. They were about to elect a Secretary in placeof Mr. Holden, when Mr. Sharrard reminded them that all the officers had to be elected and better to proceed in regular order. On motion of Major Forman the Presi- dent's resignation was accepted. A cordial vote of thanks was given to the retiting President and Secretary. Tha election of officers was then proceed- ed with. On motion of Major Forman, Cbas. again urge that the A select one to occupy the chair in the mean time, and when the election of officers takes place he wished them to elect a president in his stead. Mr. Holden said that not being a resi- dent of the nding he did: not: wish to re-- tain the office of Secretary any longer, he would therefore recommend the Assoeia- tion to select a Secretary forthwith. He said that he was exceedingly sorry to see so much contention and' division among the Reformers of riding; he conld not find any just cause for it; he admitted that the party had gone irregularly to work in ignoring the Association ; but y » great wealth of the country though they brfaght nothing with them except the brave hearts and strong arms d by the generality of immigrants but very few of them come eutwely penniless ; indeed the combined wealth brought into the country by these Immigrants must amount to many millions anavally. ------ A -------------- The Le Payssays that the Hon.

His adversaries have mov- od heaven and earth' to find an opponent ; but they have not yet sucoeeded in finding any one willing to become the instrument of their spite ; while each one feels that there is no chance of success against so worthy a man.

He would advise by all means that the action of the Convention be confirmed unless the party would court defeat. What he would ask had caused the Hon.} MeDougall's defeat in this rid- ing ? was it not dissentions in the ranks. He smd that 1t had been asserted by many that Mr. Gould should be brought out and that he was a stonger man than any of the others; but he (Holden) conceived that it would be wrong tobring Mr. Gould now, and wrong for him to allow himself to be brought out. He said that Mr. Gould was one of his best friends, one whom be highly respected, "still he could not consent Rob y Beaveiton, was elected president for the present yegr. Oa motion of C.

Mr. Squeich suggested that the meeting now consider the action of the late conven- , and either confirm it oc reject it with- out spending ertime over it. It was then urged thal the efficerd must first be elected for the township sosieties. Mr. McCaw moves that the present offi- cers of the branch societies retain their pre- sent position for another year. As many of the officers had changed localities, it was deemed proper to elect at once. BRANCH SOCIETIES. Uxpripeei--Geo. Wheeler, E¢q., Vice President, and J. E. Gould, Secretary. Brock.--Geo.

He CPlolden) bad talked with Mr, Brabazon in the morning and that he (Brabazon) bad told him that a great many conserva- tives who were at ome time expected to vote for Mr. Gould wouldgot do so now, so that it would be very wrong for Mr. Gould to attempt to come out now. Mr, Holden went on to say that if the reform ' ers would only act in unison there would be no difficulty in returning both the re- form candidates.

Mr. Sangster said that the proper course to pursue, was to bring the action of the convention to the test at once, and let it be approved or rejected without further ado ; for parties may talk around it till they are blind, without arriving any nearer to a solution of the difficulty. Here Mr. Munro made a few remarks which we could not besr distinctly, the purport of which was to exonorate the con. vention from any blame for irregularity or dishonesty sad to igiroduce a motion to that effect. This was stoutly resisted when the chairman arose and made some examine credentials, and ascertain whether all the delegates were present or not. Most of the School Sections had sent in their delegates, and those who had not done s0, went to work and selected the compli- ment after the meeting was organized ; so for Gibbs and he would do it again. Mr. Rogers said that he was aware that there were parties present who had voted for Gibbs and they had just heard par ties say that they would do it egain. If he felt so, be said, he would not by any means present himself st a reform Conven- tion. Mr. Taylor's motion was then carried. R. J. Wilsonasked to be relieved of his duties as delegate as he could not take further part in the convention under such circumstances. Mr. Wilson then retired --Mr. Thompson also retired, and their places were supplied . On motion of Mr. Carmichael the con vention proceeded to receive nominations for the Local Legislature. Peter Taylor moved seconded by Ralph Harnden that Dr. McGill, Oshawa, as a fit and proper person be represented South Outario in the Legislature of Canada.

CONSERVATIVE MEETING IN BROCK Ata meeting of the conservative central committee for the north riding of the County of Ontario, held at James Thompron's hotel Centre road" Brock on Teusday, the 11th of June, Mr. William Nelson, jun., occupied the chair, and Mr. J. W. Caldwell Brown, acted as secretary. After a little prafininary business was transacted the dors were thrown open and the large hall was instantly filled by crews of electors, there being upwards of 200 pre- sent. The chairman then troduced Mr. M. C. Cameron to the meeting in a few well chosen remarks. that when the committee gave in their re- port, the f delegates was plet viz: Pickering 38, West Whitby 20, Town of Whttby 15--East Whitby 22--- and Oshawa 11, making mn all 106 dele- ates. On motion of A. Farewell, Esq., the report of the ittee on on credentials was received and adopted. The chairman states that as the number of delegates was now complete we would now proceed to the next business. Mr. P. Taylor moved that before pro- ceeding further, the delegates pledge them selves to support the nominees of the con- vention. Mr. R. Rogers, Oshawa, objected to the motion, he did not want to dispute about it, still he would not be bound to support any man whom be (id not consider worthy. MF. Farewell asked what we came bere for, if it twas not to act in concert on the matter. We are here he said for the pur- pose of nominating candidates to represent us in the twp houses of parliament, the Commons and the Loeal and what, he would ask brought us here, if it were not for the purpose of coming to.an understand- ing, and agreeing upon the Candidates who are capable of taking the largest vote. He believed that every delegate present was in honor bound to support 4vhat ever candidates the convention bring, and that for his own part, if he did not feel so inclined be would leave the hall. [le be- lieved that Mr. Taylor's motion should be carried as a motion of this nature, was in- dispentibly necessary to secure unaminity of action and parties who were not pre- pared to go for it had no right to be here as delegates, Mr. Aaron , Campbell said that he chosen to make outa platform of principles in order to test the candidates previous to their being elected. Mr. Carmichael, Oshawa, said that he agreed with those who demed sucha mo- tion as that moved by Mr. Taylor. Ile said that when he came to the Convention be did not come to force his views upon the convention and have his own mon whether or no. He had come to lielp in the election of the best, the strongest men that can be found amongst us and if he 7. \ 0 not get the man Yhom bh would prefer he was per. ir willing lo accept the best he could get and go in and assist the convention to elect their men although not his own choice.And with regard (6 Mr."Cimpbel's suggestion this could all be done after the nominations, candidates would be required to disclose themselves before the ballot: were taken. If an inferior candidate should be brought before the conveation he would do his best to have him defea'ed in the balet by frontly giving the convention his reasons for de- siring that be may not be the nominee of the convention, Mr. Rogers made a few more remarks. He was followed by* Mr. Cowan, Oshawa, who said that he did uot like the motion, it was bord to ask the men to pledge them- selves, to support a party, ere they know who it may be, let him be good or bad, be conceived it to be a simple matter of ty- ranny to attempt to bind men under such request of the most reliable ref R. J. Wilson, Esq., followed, be said that he agreed with the gentleman who had just taken bis seat ; he looked upon the motion as a most unfortnnate one. It was a great misfortude for any man to become a delegate if he is to be bound to support his section of country, and with a view to bealing a breach which has long existed in the riding. Hesaid for himself he was glad that he did mot get the nominatiom, but be could not that much dissatis- faction existed in and Rama, at the result. He said that he wasno croak. er, that he felt po pointment, but he believed it to be his duty to farly state the case before matters Pp any further. He had no to derange the nomination, for his own part be would not accept of a nomination, unless one of the resent canvudiles shoal wiling Posi n in favor. and even then he would ac- cept only with the view of bringing back to the ranks a party w rly belongs to it, which has been Fog dinsfitieed, tod of seruring the nid ing from the bands of outsiders. - - Mr. Sangster urged the confirmation of the nominees of the convention.

C upen rising, was received with loud and prolonged cheering. He said he had been accused of having promised to support federation when ting his canvas during the election of 1864, and of opposing it on the floor of the house* In reply to this he said he never made any such promise, and this the electors knew very well. All he did promise was that as he did not understand the scheme at the time, and as Mr. Macdougall and his friends either did not understand it themselves, or would not offer any explanation respecting it, he could not give it his support. Bat at the came time he told them however, that what ever good features it did possess he would support. In deciding on what was good, he would exercise his own judgment, and by that judgment he would either stand or fall as his constituents should decide. He be- lieved and predicted, and the resnit had proved the correctness of his views, that it would entail almost endless expense upon the people of this oountry, and therefore, confederation should not be hastily entered into. With these views he could not con- sistantly do otherwige than oppose the mea- sure when it was before the house. But now that it had become the law of the land, he believed it to be the duty of every honest and loyal man to do all he could to ree it fairly and thoroughly tested in order that the greatest amount of good possible, might be derived from it. And should he be hon- oured with a seat in the Commons of Cana- da, he would do allin his power to secure the people of Canada all the advantages that could possibly be derived from confed- eration. Howwver he believed that alhthe advantages without the enormous expense, could have been obtained from a legislative union, which were now thought to be secur- ed by confederation. He here pointed out what appeared to him te be some of the de- fects in the new ¢dnstitution,and then went on to say that thare' were no great questions separating conservatives and reformers, and it De -- the people of Canada to elect the best men the country could produce to re- present as well in the Commons of Canada, as in the Looal Legislature of Outario, so that our? constitution" might be put in the most efficient working order. Unless this was done there would be litle hope of Ca- nada's future greatness. Should party lines again be drawn, and the Toronto Globe seemed determined to do so, he (Mr. Cam~ eron) would be found where he had always been among the conservatives, althon~" he ---- - believed there were m-0" reformers who were a« * houest as concientious in labouring tor the good of the country at large nas the conservatives. Nevertheless he wasa cor - servative ; and as such would always be found working with them in the cause of liberty and good government.
