Is the Herald also among the corruptionists? Is Mr. Holton who leads, # is led by the Heral4, proposing to juin in some of the companmies to buld the P caiflc Hailway? We do not as« these qjuâ€"stions with the slightest intention oi met.pg discredit either on the Herald or n Mr. Holton. But the conclusion tote drawn from the article to which we refer is inevitable. If, as the article states, the m»jority was composed of men who were »«melling afar off the scent of the carcasses m which they hoped to gorge, in what yosiuion do the "Herald aud Mr. Holion stuud, who also supported the Gove m sent wiih a desire to put an end to a suste of feeliog between the Empire an i the United Stares, which it was u.t to t;, inverest of Canada should be continue 1+ their old discordant scraping, each on his own particula: fiddle. Nor are the organs more _ hirmonious. ‘The _ Montre»l Herald artacks the Toronto Globg, which i+ turn attacks the. Halifax Chromicle, but they can all join in denouncing the common. enemy As for the ZHeâ€"al‘d it woul i be a somewhat amu sing employment to speculite on what it would do if its friends were by any extraâ€" ‘ordimry chance to be in a position to form an administration. We can see the result of such a future in the case of the Glob: which is now bound to defend the Untarioâ€" Gorvernment, but the Herald‘s case would be probably o~é 1 worse. It is the Bishi Bazsuk of the Press, which it is impossible to incorporate in any regular army. It had the misfortune for a feow months to .be in the position of a Govern ment supporter duriog the brief and not glorious period when Holton the grave was Finance Minister. But every now and, then it would kick over the traces, and was altogether a most uncomfortable ally. The:e is a charming cynicism about that shect, which leads it to s«y hard things even of its friends, so thit thoso who may be regarded as its oppanents neel not wonder at coming in for a share of the oil with which it binds up the wounds o! thoee w.o hLavre been maltreited ; oil of vitriol being, however, the article in which it chiefly deals. It, like the Globr, traces | tue cause of the increas.ng m»jorities of . the Government to the dacred hunger forl guld with which the members of the House of misfortuces, the Holionâ€"Dorion wing another. Jones, of Halitax, the solitary sand piper from Nova Scotia, chirps bis little melancholy note, whilst the whole chorus behind, out of the discord proâ€" duce.1 by taking the p tch from the differ» ent leaders who have their instruments tuned to differeut keys, reach at last to one harmonious No‘ to every proposition of the overoment, and then recoammence over agnin, who always said th«t she had «old her husband so, when any misfortun« visited them. When that patient and long sufféring partner hurried in one â€"day to announce that the cow had e:iten the grindstune she cried, "I al ways ‘told you â€"10,â€" but :you wuuld not take my advice." Strange as t may s em To the Opposition, it is this very variety of miâ€"fortunes, still to come but never arriving, that his so greatly con tributed to their growing weakness. The MackSbzie Blake wing prophecy one set d ingers of inflstion,.and accuâ€"ing Governâ€" ment of encoura.ing capitalists to expend more mon»+y in finding employment for the people than they should do, and imâ€" mesliate aud disastrous collap:e is threat eved. It is the grumbling old woman It is impossible for the Opposition to gâ€"t over the fact that day by day their numbers are lessening and that the power of the Government is increasing. Tbi Oostensitle lâ€"aders of the gathering which opposes the administrationâ€"for real lead+ ers there are noneâ€"are put to their wits! end to discover a remedy for this state of things. The power of the Government has increased, is increasing and must bq diminished. But how ? The measures brought forw_1d are sound ; the polic)!] adopted shas been successful ; the country is advancing ; every terest is prospering | In spite of doleful py&hcia which are to be found recorded in the journals of the House, the misfortunes threatened wil not come. Considering the variety ranga of the causes which are to produce the evil effects predicted, the wonder :s that some of the warnings have not proved well founded. If owing to the state oé ‘ the Finances it is considered advisable to refrain from entering on works involving large expenditures, the country is to be ruined by a want of enterprise which preâ€" vents her development, and straightway a resolution is moved by the Opposi.ion, not with any hope of being carried, but only to have it recorded, so that if any evil should arise it may be brought up «mas eviience that they had foreseen whit would happen. If there is a large surplus to warrant the execution of undertakings which all <are agreed should be entered upon, strai_htway there is ano her resolution pointing out the by the (Ppposition, they will have no hesitation in pronouncivg in favor of the former; and wil, in ar unmistaksble manner, declare themselves in fa\:or ) thoâ€"e, whose wise and s ble shtesmanshni: has been attended with such beneficial results, ‘mjI b.s had the effâ€"ct ol'cmahix:} out and ‘destroying an (Opposition whi was based on faction alone. | , which has just been rendered by the | People‘s representatives in the House of | Commons. They will have no hesitation | in endorsing the general policy of the \Government _ When they do so they | doubtless will be insulted as the members of the House have been by the leading lum organ. They likewige will be accuseu ot having been bribed and bought by the promise of + fat. contracts" &3 Mr. Blake‘s remarks in refesence to the Elecâ€" tion iaw indicate thit such will be the case. But neither the members of the House ’of Commons nor tho«e who send them to represent them in Pawliament, are such a couruptible dishonest set as Mr=Brown ’m:d fain have people believe. The people of »nada, or at all events a la'xge m«jarity of them: are guided by thiir own common sense and ideas of right and wrong as to whom they shall trust or sup port.

He (Mr. Dickey) believed that members of that prolession were as fully entitled to hold and expreâ€"s their opinions on the question as the members ’ of any other carved profession. When hon members discussed a question in the House they did not do so as l:iwyers simâ€" ply, though thay would naturally give the benetit of their legal andâ€" constitutional lore.

Practic:lly it was in the power of any person ana his iriends to prevent those poor men from takisg any steps to obtaun payment for their honest claims. He was very much afraid that such a law could never carry out the real object which it was intended to accomâ€" plishâ€"an equal division among all the creditors. ‘ It had passed into a proverb in the United States thit a man can never get rich until he has failed several times â€" such was the effect of the present law in | practice. It hat been said that : one of _ the _ guiding principles of _ a bankruptey law should be to enable an unfortunate debtor to get relieved. He believed the present law could _only | lead to rash speculation, to aspecies of gambling The debtor was enabled to say to his creditor ** Heads I win, tails you, lose,"" because if he succeeded he pocket ed the gains ; if he lost he went scot free.. It did not accomplish the object of. a pro per division of the property ; it served rathe; to enable the debtor to get‘relieved of his debts. in the easiest way possible with very little reference to the interests of the creditor. The bill before the House proposed to repeal the existing laws, but t went still further, it prevented the reâ€" yival of those laws which were heretofore in force in the different| provinces.

The fuct appeared to be thit while the law was very gool in theory, it had failed in practice. ‘lhe â€"g»eneral .expresâ€" sion from all parts of the country, in his opinion, was in favor of repgaling the law. He believed that it was a | very diffiâ€" cult matter to deal with bankrupt laws. In his opinion, the best course was to provide as simple machinery as possible by which the division of the property: shou‘!d be made. The presont law had been proved on experience to be inadeâ€" quats to meet the aifficulties, and now the evils were just as great as they were beâ€" fore its enactment. ~Under those cireumâ€" stances he was of the opinion that if the House repealed the present l iw, the coun: try will be prepired to sustain some meaâ€" sure which will be more just and equitible in its operation and conduce to the adâ€" vantage of the business community. m .tter alone; inasmuch as the law died so soon. > . | stance of the creditor, tor when a man fail â€" ed the creditor knew it was no use for him to move in the matter.
