PORT PERRY, AUG. 22, 1867. Myr. Cameron and the Georg- ian Bay Canal. Af there is any one trait more than another in Mr. Cameron's character, with which he delights To plume him- self, and for which lic asks approval, it is that of honest dealing and con- sistency of purpose. But in order to show that Mr: Cameron is wot the 'paragon of perfection? he wou'd fain have us helicve him to be, and to place him in his proper position before the public, we beg to call aitention to a pledge he gave, when soliciting our votes in 1863 Ie stated at that tine that Mr. McDon- gall aud bis friends, by having Par- fiument provogucd, * had stopped much useful private legislation as well as public, in the bands of pri- vate members, and had prevented the continuance of the proceedings of a committee appointed to enquire into the practicabiftty of constincting a Canal from Georgian Bay to Luke Simcoe, and thence through your riding to the River Trent--a work which, should it be proceeded with, will benefit you more than any public worl that kas been wndevtalen in this Pro- vince, and a work which would have recived vy mist hearty support, and 'which will yet receive that support elect me). redecmed the above fons Did he ever, in or out of Parliament, say a word mn favor of constructing this great and to us im- portant undertaking 7 He may con t:nd, howuver, thit w> opportunity has since presented itself for making good the prowise then given ; but the indifference manifested by that gen- theman, 10 our interes:s,whcn the de- putation from Chicago was in Toron- to, is siill fresh in the minds of many. Then he was at home, and all he had to say was--"his Constituents thought they had the best route." And ata number of his meetings recently held in this riding, when taken to tusk for a betrayal of our confi lence, be has attempted to ex-- cuse his inconsistency by saying, the wiole scheme is perfectly im- practicable and visionary, and it would have been woise than a waste of me to have said anything in i's favor. Indeed he hus gone so far as to desizuite the enquiries "clap trap," got up for elcctionecring pirposes.-- Jf it is clap-trap mow, what was it when Mr. Cameron made use of it in 1863 7. Does he know anything more about impracticabi'ity of the work now than when he held it out as a bait for us four years ago? We reply that, according to th: highest and t impostant judges, the route through this riding has been pro- nownced. tha shortest, cheapest, and most practicable ; and Mr, Cameron stands to day before his constituents of, yealecting their Jnterests The sceret of the matter is easily explained: --Mr. Cameron resides in "Toronto ; bis interests and sympathies a eall centred in Toronto, and as a Toronto man he would much rather this great Ship Canal constructed to terminate at Toronto. The 1 _ Ontario will see, Messrs. Th on and Last week Messrs. Thompson and Paxton held a series of meetings in the Townships of Brock, Thorah and Mara and Rama, where they met with a. very cordial reception, aud unmistakable signs of attachment, -- Messis. Cameron and Gillespie were present; but in no case was a majori- Ly presént to endorse their sentiments, At Mamlla, Atherly and Milling- ton, the attendance was very large, and the expressions of those present were almost unanimously in favor of the gentlemen whose names head this article In Brechin, where there was also a large attendance, Mr. Gillespie endeavored (o pull the wool over the eyes of the Catholics by teiling them that he had, at the Brock Council, given his vote and used his influence to obtain the Clerkship of that Town. ship for Mr. Walshe ; and Mr. Cam ercn, too, to makea point, threw down the gauntlet to Mr. Paxton, telling him that, for his audacity, he would do all in his power, to 'secure Mr Gillespie's election. Mr, Puxton {cocly replied, thag. whilst he cared very little for him, or his gauntlet, he woald possibly find enough "to du to secure his own return without volunteering to assist Mr. Gillespie. At Beaverton Mr. Cameron com plaiaed of the ind fierence manifest- ed towards him by his fo. mer friends, and suid he could not account for the reason that so little had been done for him. The meeting was largely attended, and a majority of the elec tors presented expressed themselves favorable to Messrs. Thompson and Paxton. This week Messrs. Thompson and Paxton held two meetings in Ux- bridge which were urvaaimously in ing to be looked upon asa dead cer tainty. Last Monday evening, Messrs Cameron and Gillespie held a meet - ing in Cannington ; who, after Laving spoken, were followed by J. B. Campbell, Esq.,and Dr. Oakley, on behalf of the absent Candidates. Their heartily approved of. Towards the close of the prcecedings, Mr. Cowan took the liberty of refuting what Mr. Gillespie had said at Brechin, in re- ference to his obtaining the office of Clerk for Mr. Walshe, by proving that he had never given any such vote.-- Here Mr. Cameron again came fo the resciie, when Mr. Sullivan inquired why he was so anxious about Mr. Guliespie. Matthew C. replied that Gillespie had been. placed under hus care, and he would stick to him if he lost his eléclion by Much to the "The Reason Why." It will be remembered by a ngm- ber of our readers that Mr, Cameron, at two of his meclings in the Town- ship of Uxbridge, asserted most posi- tively the pringiple of coalition had been applied iu the formation, of the government of Quebee, by admitting two Euglish-speaking members of the population inte the Cabinet. Under the above heading, however the Peterborough Review, a ministeri- al organ of the- purest' water, has taken particular pains to acquaint its readers with "tl e reason why" "a combination government was form: ed in Ontario and not in Quebec." Tt says :-- A few persons, from whom a great- er display of intelligence might, per- haps, be expected, continu: to urge that a Combination Local Govern- ment shonld hage sbeen formed in Quebec as well ag" here, and that as the Government for Quebec is purely Conservative, so tho one for Qotario should have been purely Re- form. The answer is plain, aud its reasonableness, we think, Tppareny The Reformers of Lower Canada hat | roved themselves fierce oppuiicits | of Confederation, and publicly de- clared, both through their leaders and their press, that rather than sub- mit to it they would prefer Aunexa- tion. On the other hand, the Con- servatives of Upper Canada, loyaily and heartily assisted from the first in bringing about Confederation, even when that measnre was opposed and denounced by Mr. Brown and the Globe. $ : The Review is'perhaps not aware of the fact £hdt Tau] MLC.

The "dea, however, which we wish to come at is this--when Mr. Cameron made the statement in Uxbridge, just re- fused to, he cither knew not what he was talking about, or else lio wished to deceive the public. "If the former, he had no busivess to mention it ; and if the latter, it was very uo- 'worthy of him indeed.

Mr. Brown was the first to pro- ceed. He reviewed some of the re- marks which had fallen from Mr Larke, aud then set forth the claims which Reformers have upon the elec- tors, for services past rendered, affirm. ing that afier a long and arduous contest they had been successful, and were now conducting the first elec- tion urder the reformed constitation, which gave them what they had! struggled for. After giving a detail- | cd statement of the advantages! gained by Confederation, he said the | question before the people at this election was thuis--into the hands of which party should the control public affairs now be committed 7-- The party to whose efforts the bene ficial changes to which he had ad- verted were due ; or the party who were responsible for all the abuses' we had been endeavoring to reform ?

He complained that Mr. Brown had not carried out what he promised to do in reference to Confederation, and asserted that instead of beiug entitled tothauks he shonld be condemned.
