A few days since in referring to the perc sistent abuse bestowed upon the Grand Trunk Railway by the Toronto Globe, we remarked that if it were actually the sub silized organ of the American railroads it couk| not do its work better, or labour more â€" assiduously for the purpose of in juring â€"the Canadian line and driving traftic from it than it now does. We did not imitate the Globes example and deâ€" clare in direct terms that it really was a »mbsidized organ‘‘ ; on thy contrary we expressed the opinion thit the personal ing director of the Globe entertains tewards tho _ Managing _ director . of _ the Grand _ Trunk _ really â€" caused these attacks, _ amd â€" rendored the â€" former blind to the wjury which this constant vilâ€" lifying of thg Canadian line does to the country at large. The Globe‘ s latest arâ€" ticle, however, in which itâ€" attempts to criticise the semiâ€"annual | report Company, is so evidently inspired Company, is so evidently inspired in New \'orkotlouo-,ndi-.oomuywhsttho American compani®s would be likely to approve, that we feel tempted to change our opinion, and with sincére regret to arâ€" rive at the conclusion that the Toronto Globommbonprdoduuu recognized mdumwmm writers who compose its editorial staff, to use its own language, as their "purchased scribes." â€" It is only by adopting this view that we ean understand why our contem:â€" porary denounces‘ in such a decided manner the attempt made by the manager of the Grand . Trunk . Railway ,to compete for through freighs, and why it tries to induce the belief that local interests are sacrilic»A theraby. . The Globe says that it is "absurd and wusteful"‘ to attempt to compete with the American lines, and suggests that the l:tter should be left to "their neck breaking scramble for Western treight."" It is easy enough to umdlerstand that,spe~king in the nterebt bf the American lines which desise to monâ€" ‘opolize the ent.re trade of the West, the Globe stould tind fault with Mr. Bryiges= for making n . ffort to compete with them and should try to prove that he ought to contine his attention to local traffic only.

We have heard complants of this nature. : with regard to the Great Western Railway, and we have seen indig: nant letters pablished | in various Western journals in relation thereto. How far these complaints harse b«een deserved or not we do net pretend to know, but wedo know that not a single word has the Globe had to say in relation to the subject. | Is this cxplained by the fact that the Great Western Railway runs in close connection with the American lines, and is in point of fact a portion of the American railvay sysâ€" tem * s As Canadians, and not as the * organ of either a political party or a railway comâ€" pany, we feel it our duty to condemn in the strongest and most unmistakeable terms, the Globe‘s persistent efforts to of note _ or â€" position . throughout the country. â€"~No| matter who or what a man is, or in what sphere of life he attains to eminence, the mere fact of his being regarded with respect and admira tion is suflicient to bring down upon his devoted head the wrath of the Honourâ€" ablo George Brown.

These men who when | ° they visit England or the United States ‘ are always regarded with respect and adâ€" | miration, who are justly looked upon as | men whom Canadians with pride may || claim as countrymen: and representative | men, they forsooth are singled out by Mr. Brown to be the victims of his most perâ€" «istent abuse ! It does not require much consideration to show why this is the a.e?' lt is because they with theoir giant intellects ind browl extended views so thotou‘hly' overshacdow Mr. Brewn, «0 completely throw him into the shade, that all the envy and . jealousy of hbis nature is l M and despairing of ever elevating nimself to their level, he strives to pull ~hem down to his own.

He has denounced in a manner which we can only denominate is ineffably mean, an efort saud to have been n.uce for the purpose of presenting the Premier with a test monial of the na uon‘s gratitude for his lony tried services ; and now we find him endesvouring to per suade the public that the Grand Trunk Railway, the most direct line from the Atâ€" lantic seaboard to the Western States, sheuld not eadesavour to compete with American rouds for through traftic ! We do not wish to deny: Mr. Brown any amount of credit that of right belongs to him, but as he has chosen to resort to all kinds of personalities concerning the genâ€" tlemen whose names we Rare mentionâ€" ed, we feel that weo are justified in saying that so far as in:*%sct is concerned, they are to him as m« ‘ins to molehills, ‘Let | any Canadian vis! ‘he neighboring Reâ€" public hear their : +s mentioned, and he | will as a Canadian be proud to claim them : | as countrymen of his own.

I know not how to describe Grattan. 1 could copy many eloquent descriptions of him, but [ do not want to do that.. This is my lecture, and I would wish to: gire youy my idoa of him. Be it right or wrong, h k he: was politically, the; purestâ€"mind and naturally the most. eloquent and â€" warmest hearted Irishman that ever livod. Ho had talents given him by God that in a day when talents were bought and sold he might have made ten talents at the expense of his country‘s liberty. He might, have been Sir tlenry Grattan, Lord Gratâ€" tan, | Duke Grattan, anything Grattan if he hid loved his country less, and his personal ambition more. Mis counâ€" try was indeed his idol. In the darkest hour of ber history his voice rang through Ireland in burning words of eloquent hope as to her future. Never lived there so hopeful a patriot. Listen to these words of hope, in which to him was the darkest hour â€" of his country‘s history, «Never will I cease to hope for my counâ€" try ; I see her in a swoon, but she is not dead, »lthough in her tomb she is helpless and motionless, still there is on ber lips a spirit of life, and on her cheek a glow of beauty."‘ iggt mt . & I’â€"IU' ® +Thou art not eonquered; Beauty‘s ensign 18 UOrlmsou in thy lips, and in they cheeks, And Death‘s pale flag is not advanced there," . _| "While a plank offthe vessel holds together whoss back stood 100,00U0 armed men. For without Henry (Girattan, the volunteers would have wanted the trumpet which sounded their fame through the world, and made them at once the terrror as. well as the gdmiruion of other nations. â€" The first cry he gave was a necessity. le saw at aâ€" fl::oo that no patriotism could revive Ireâ€" . ulon‘ru her trade was dead ; there fore he said =ery out for Free Trade and the encouragment of home manutactures®" and the 100,000 voices cried Free Trade, and the cry was cmgfixt up ‘by the nation, and ran through the land like wildfire. Mr. (Girattan commenced the, agitation by moving in the House, an amendment to the address of the K"mg in the October session of 1779, in which he stated that, "The distresses of the kingdon were two fold, the poverty of her people, and the bankruptcy of the state," winding up with the somewhat ominous . declaration "That as the people cannot | support the King, or t e King tl‘n‘e peoaple, we must from henceforth look to ourâ€" gelves." There was a long and brilliant debate on the amendment, and it was finâ€" ally carried, slightly altered from the original in theso. words, © That we beg leave to represent to his Majesty, that it.l is not by tompurary expedients, but by free trade alone that the nation can be saved from impending ruin." _ And on the same night a unanimous vote of thanks was passed to the volunteers. Wl':ilo this was 2o'm$ on in the House the volunteers were not idle outside. They were reviewed, held meetings, passed resolutions calling on Irishmen to wear nothing English. Beâ€" fore long the city and county corporations took up the -ubjecz and the 1ollowing fi:chmtion issued Tholsel in Dub. in, or what we call the "Exchange :" That we will not from the date hereof directly or indirectly impert, or consume any of the manufactures ot Great Britain, nor will we deal with any merchant or lhopkee?or who shall import such manuâ€" factures.‘" A few dayd atter the issuing of this address, a bopoleqn‘olnnner song was issued, ‘and distributed and sung throughut Ireland.
