GILLESPIE is vot satisfied at all With the resolution ; in the first place it @vidently aims at more than it appears at first ;1iglit 10 mvolve.

Ii may bea conning dodge to p such a tution, so ifinite that it may be made to mean any thing, but he (Gillespie) fropes that the Council will re- «quire something more definite ere they will pass it. Let the parties to this motion say what they want distinctly then the mem- bers will know ere they commit the Coun- il ; lor his:part he will oppose the motion, Mr. BIGELOW cannot see anything wrong in the wording of the resolution, it does not commit the Council 'to any particular policy, it simply asserts the opinion of the Council as being in favor of a bonus to help forward the schemé ; and he cannot ses how afiy dther opinion can be entertained by ang one who will for a moment consider the importance of the scheme and the immense advantages it woild confer on every portion of this county.

The meeting was what might be called a ood one in every respect, numbers, intelli- gence and enthusaiem. JOSEPH BIGELOW, Esq, Reeve of the corporation, was called to the chair, and after a few remarks on the object of the meeting called Mr. FOWLER, .who com- ing forward said that he was glad to meel the people of Port Perry on this ocossion, that it was not ibe first lime he had met with audi in this q to di railway matters, that a number of years ago he had advocated a road going in a similar direction, but this lime he had a scheme to bring before them which cannot fail in meeting their hearty approval and support, a work which will benefit this vil- lage more perhaps than any other which conld ba suggested, and while he, is prepar- ed to'ask a bonus [that bonus will not be equal to one h h part of the advaritag which the road will confer. The speaker went on to enumerate some of the advan- tages whichthis road wou'd confer in way of improved markets for grain and a ready market for pork, hay and coarse grains. We had taken a complete report of all the speeches but want of page compels us merely to touch & few of the points in each address. : He said when the 0. & Q. R. comes here the P.W.&P.P.R. will have to be extended to-the Georgian Bay, and in otder to accom- plish this the 0 & Q. R. Co'y will have to buy up the P. P 10ad. This little 1nad will never pay till it in extended, no shor road will ever pay. Were there any of the farmers of the township present he would say to them by all means eupport this road ae it will afford many important advantages to the farmers in furnishing first class mar- kets where buyers from the cheap and direct route to market will be able 1@¥ give 4 or 5 cents a bushel more for grain than they now can afford to give. He refers to the oversteoking of trade for the G. T. R. and shows that the proppsed road will have more than it can do and will require a double track. He said thut he wae not in a position to assert positively that a station would be given within this corporation or) that tbe road will certainly come this way, but ifit is to come at all Port Perry will have lo give a bonue of $25,000, and this ie a very small bonus indeed, almost noth ing, when d with the ad ges it will confer on the village. He had an in térview with Mr. Glen of Oshawa the other day, and that gentleman was greatly in favor ol Jhe-scheme, so much so that he said he Had nd doubt but that Oshawa would give a bonus of $50,000 and he would take stock to theetiountiof $10,000 if the road were ] ony bon near Oshawa, but at all f Jor an'amend=| oyonis he wo willing to take stock in it whelh me near Oshawa or not as the ° "'would be of im metise benefit -to the country.-- It is difficult now to say with any degree of "ge fin "what direction this road would tun as a branch of it must go to Orangeville, and in order lo secure this he hae on his own account applied for a char- «er for that purpose. "It is his intention that the company ehaliopurchase the P. W. & P. P. R., and, if the county give a liberal bonus; to continue it to the Georgian Bay, and shop'd this be accomplisned Port Perry would hive a trade and railway facilities such as are enjoyed. by lew other localities The epeaker now 'viewed the road in a military point of introducing the Fenian secatcs aks of the vast amount of trade wh 8:road to Oranga- ville would seours ithe numerous feed ers it would tap, and went on to read three letters he had received from Hon. J. C. C. Abbott, M. P., Sir Hugh Allan's partner. -- Two of these letters have already appeared in these columns, the third is an endorsa- tion of the course pursued by Mr. Fowler in the matter. He said that Sir Hugh had placed the bonus {rom Cavan, Manvers and Cartwright at a very low figure,much lower than he (Fowler) would have done had it been left to him who knows perhaps a lit- more of the great benefits this road will confer on these localities. Lindeay he said was anxious lo get this road and would give a very large bonus to secure it, but he would rather take $125,000 from these townships than $200,000 from Lindsay. -- If Port Perry give $25,000 the road will pass this way even should it go to Lindsay; but if this road should pass this way and not goto Lindsay that town will be cleaned right out as far as a grain market is con- cemed. 'The speaker went on al some length as 10 the amazing, amount of traffic which a road to ithe Georgian Bay would secure, and wound. up his remarks by cau- tioning those who might entertain the nar- row idea that if the road is to come this way it will come without a bonus, as 10 ,.such case it certainly would not come and it an did come no station would be given. Afier referring lo some of the roads on' the other side of the lines and advising Canadians to copy their enterprise the speaker resumed his seat amid much applause, Mr. HURD folowed with a powerful .ad- dress of whick, for want of space, we can only touch a tew pointe: He took up the t r 0 d e d ofp and it may be for shipping grain. The speaker went on at length to dilate on the almost unlimited ad- vaniages offered by this road, and the ad- mirable position of Port Perry as a centre for the most extensive trade of almost any SELLING OFF. GREAT BARGAINS! The Subscribe thanks his many © for the encouragement given to him since he came to Port Perry. He now informs all who may be anxious to invest their fnoney to the best advantage, that for the next six weeks he will offer the balance of his Stock of Dry other locality in the p @ 8p concluded by moving a resolution to the effect tliat in the opinion of that mesting the corporation ought to grant a liberal bonus to secure a station of the 0. & Q. R. within the limits of the corporation. Mr. CAMPBELL being called said he did not desire to speak {till after he had heard from the of the 'resolution, but he would like to hear from Mr. Fowler what course this road is to take from Will iamsbirgh to Port Petry ; how il ie to get into the Port and how it is to get out of it? Mr. FOWLER replies that he under- stands all this perfectly, he has the road surveyed and he has himself carefnlly ex- amined the route as lo their getting in, and bimeelf easy on that score, the company will find their way out, He (Fowler) does not know that the road will pass tlirough Williamsburghi but it may be two or three concessions north of it, #0 that it will be easy gelling into Port Perry and there would be 10 difficalty in passing out by way of Blanchester. Mr. CAMPBELL asked what would be- come of the Port Perry bonus in the event of any of the three eastern municipalities voting down the bonue by-law, Mr. FOWLER replied that if Port Perry did not get the road it would not have to pay. He again proceeded at some length 10 urge the great importance of the work and its complete practicability. . The chairman next proceeded to address the ing on the ad ges of ing the route of the road through the muhiei- pality and would advise the granting of a liberal bonus to secure this object, but whether the corp and the y will agree as to the amount remains yet to be seen. He need not tell this meeting how rapidly the pine timber is disappear- ing and that in a 'very few years lumber will have to be brovght from a great die- tance. He considered that no more impor- tant matter could engage the people of Port Perry than that of securing the passage of this road through our midet, and should this opportunity be lost all may regret it.-- He is aware however that even a railway may be bought too dearly. 2 Mr. CAMPBELL followed with one of the best epeeches - we have heard for long time but we are with the greatest reluctance forced to leave it untouched. Mr. MAJOR 'addressed the gmeeting in some well chosen remarks, aftéf which Mr. Hurd' motion was put and carried unani- monsly,. Thaoks to Mr. Fowler and the chairman closed proceedings. et ---- RAILWAY MERTING AT MAN : CHESTER, The Railway Meeting aunounced by posters to discuss the merits of the O. & Q. Railway fook place at Manchester on Wednesday 5th. The number present was not large but if was a fair representa- tion of the intelligence of the municipality. The Reeve was called to the chair and introduced the subject in a few pointed regnarks, then called on Mr, Fowler, who coming forward gave a full and interest- ing statement of the advantages which this proposed work will secure to the whole country. 2 Messrs. Hard, Campbell, Holman, Weir, Ewers, and Wright all spoke but as we have no epace at our command we reserve our report till next week. The amonnt of bonus asked by Mr. Fowler is $50,000. -- This was objecied to. We only add at this time that a resolution moved by the Reeve and seconded by Mr. Weir, Deputy Reeve setting forth that in the opinion of the meet- ing this township ought to give & liberal bonue to the Ontario and Quebec Railway 'provided a station of said railway be placed at ot near the village of Manchester, was carried without a diseenting voice.
