We have shown that the Opposition leaders do not even attempt to claim that the solution of any kmportant political question is dependent upon the result of the approaching elec~ tions,. .

Un repetiâ€" tion in answer to encore, Godfrey retained the baton, and conducted the Grenadier Bend threugh the Star Spangled Banner, with full cannon accompaniment, causing great outbursts of applause, and cheering for the red coats. The "Grenadiers‘"‘ wore their state uniâ€" forms of searlet and gold. <laim that it is the obvious duty of every man whoâ€"cares for Cunada‘s welfare and progress and is a friend of good Governâ€" ment, to do all that lies in his power to s«tengthen the hands of the Ministry and amsist them in the battle they have t° wage against a selfish and unprincipled Opposithn,. Too mary among us are apt to say : Ob I don‘t care about politics, ! have my business or profession to attend to, and have no time for anything else." To ‘adopt this view, however, is a very Sir Hastings Doyle will be sworn in as Aministretor of the Dominion to.day, grarse mistake indeed. There is not a man in the whole Dominion whose interests will now be affected by the eslections, or whosse preo.pacts will not be benetitted if the Grits receive an overwhe‘:ming defeat. We sincerely believe that it would be a very great ealamily to every Provinee oi the Dominion if the dishonourable coaliâ€" leagues ought to be "huried from power" because they were so corrupt, and (the Grits) ought to take their places eause they were so immaculate and pure. Fortunately, we ought perhaps to say Providential!y, these men have had an op portunity in a narrower field of political action, of showing the people of Canada electors what a calamity it would be if they were placed at the head of Domiâ€" nion afairs, than anything their most bister cpponents could have done. They have proved beyond a doubt that all their boasted *purity," all their afftected love of fair play was a delusion and a snare From the moment when by a piece of cowardivx irickery they obtained the have to all appearances been laboring to prove that all their life long professions were false. They commenced by forming a Coalition Administration, after having for five years been engaged in denouncing Conlitions. Then when it was suspecied with good reason that a member of the late Mr. Sandfield Macdonald‘s Adminisâ€" tration had been tampered with by them and bribed to desert his post and party, prevenied any real investigation of the facts being nmade. . Next came the Proton afâ€" thir, the most disgraceful political outrage ever perpetrated in Canad* ; ~» outrage so disgraceful that even the most faithful a«cdherents of the party cannot hear it referred to without bolding down their heads and blushing forshame. Every pro mise they ever made has been bruken, every principle they ever pretended to upâ€" bhoid has been set at naught, and from whht the Grit leaders have done in . Onturic, we may form some: idea of what Ahey would do if the afaiirs of the Dominâ€" Jon were entrusted to their charge.

Ihis for every patriot is ts putyt Or Tas It was somewhat astonishing to see the position taken by the Untario ()pposition when the Canadian Pacific Railway was under discussion. The acquisi.ion of the North West territories had been for years & subject on which, in ‘Ontario at least, there had been no difference of opinion. It was no party question in any sense of the term. It was universal‘y felt that it was above and beyond party, that it posâ€" sessed an interest for Canads whose im â€" a continuance of that wise and patriotic administration which hes ‘in five | years .a.plilhdnehmn-lh.' : THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY. once more that it is the manifest duty of avery man in Canuda to ds bi 39 PC 2C Provinces; far sighted men\who had given the subject the deepest tho\scfiflm‘ consideration being aware monlymnhuobo an outlet to P.Amueforun as‘ yet undeveloped riches of the great North West, but that across the continent on British tetritory must flow the productsof the East ; that India, China, Japan, Australasia would be brought into closer proximity with Europe by the Canadian Pacific route, than by any ather which it was M“ to obtain. projected. To those who have givren the subject the necessary attention it will be evident that one of the essential elements for the success of the line, and for its imâ€" nodhulymmfinm"th shortness of the time in which it could be Hence arose the absolute necessity for fl-ymnbfiufn-tbwb the Atlantic, advantage of course being taken of lines already in existence , or projected. To those who have given the grants, independont of the other considerâ€" ations regarding these, was most shortâ€" ted, , To attempt to build such a line ian Pacific entirely by money ised on the credit of the Government, have been to postpone its construcâ€" i h-yyun,tohv‘onfiddth settlement of the lands which the immense numbers of labourers thrown in ‘would otherwise have accomplished, and to have given our neighbours and rivals in trade so firm a hold of the Eastern busiâ€" ness that it would probably. hare taken "years to effect a change in the line of traffic. How great that trade will ulti« mately become, it is impossible to estiâ€" mate, but already a very large proportion of the tea imported passes by San Franâ€" sgisco, and thence finds its way to the Atlantic States. Every year‘s delay in the sconstruction of the line will involve conâ€" Sideralle loss to this country, yet im the the Government and so prevent the speedy / prosgcution of the work,/ Not only does | the shortest possible route between the Pacific @nd Atlantic coasts exiat in Canaâ€" dian territory, but from ‘the St. Lawrence to Europe is to be found the shortest sea passage Even now the . nearly 500 miles, as between New York, but when the Intercolonial line and other railways now in course of conâ€" struction are completed, the advantage of a short sea vovage will be stil}l more thomselvbs be almost sufficient to show iLe great benefit that would arise to merâ€" chants in Europe availing themselves of the facilities aforded by such a transâ€"conâ€" tinental and sea route as that which direct course for British Columbis not so much because it stretches out toward the ‘Mnsbdnunptol the set of she current, which enables them to make better time by coming north than they jnuuaoby steering‘ direct for the Caliâ€" fornia coast. +â€"With the moagnificent harbours in British Columbis, no delay would be experienced in bringing the ship into ca berth, discharged and her cargo on the way by the shortest railway route . across . the continent â€" to Europe to _ get the _ shortest sea route at the Atlantic terminus, days before the ship could have reached. San Francisco, there to transfer cargo to & longer railway and a much longer sea route for all goods destined for Europe. So great, indeed, is the advantage we have pointed out, that what we are now doing in the Bast with our canals, and will do much more effectually when these are enlarged, will be done in the Westâ€"that is, we will obtain almost a monopoly of the carrying trade, certainly of the most valuable portions ofit, not orly betreen countries and the leadiog United States cities and and centres of trade. It is a great end to strive for ; it is an object to attain which every effort should be put forth. We desire to approach it in a spirit far above that of mere party politics, and we cannot help feeling regret that the leaders of the Opposition did not take a broader and sounder view of the position, and afford to the Government the support they so well deserved. ‘The people of this country are awake to the necessity that exists for vigorous measures to develop the resources of Canada. They will not be satiâ€"fied with captious objections to petty details which may be raised in the discussion of all great measures, In condition to stand still is to be Mhz lessly behind.

To the Editor of THE TIMES. Stez,â€"Having been occupied with affairs of more importance, I have rot had timeé until this day to take any notice of the treacherous attack made upon me during my sabsence in Ottaws, by Mr, John ‘Donchoe, at the meeting of 20th May at the De La Salle Institute ; and I should have passed it over n silence but for th® fact that a report of the meeting appeared in a journal of such weight and respectaâ€" bility as The Mail. I have since my resi. dence in this city treated Mr. O‘Donohoe with unvarying kindness, and for reasons which do not concern the public, I supposâ€" ed that until I gave him reason to do otherwise, he would at least treat me with decency. *Mr. U‘ Donohoe has ealled my veracity in question before a public.meetâ€" ing : he has placed me on the defence.. I will now proceed to enter into the various ohrplofnnl.mthfnlmil, upon which Mr. O‘Donohoe has based his most defamatory resolution, and explain or reâ€" fute his statement, as the case may require With reference to the first or preliminary meeting,. I positively assert that 1 was not aware that my house was the apâ€" pointed place of rendezvous, until apâ€" prised of it by O‘Donohoe the day previâ€" gm,'d\uhohdhncdtbdmhn and notified the parties to meet at my house without my knowledge or consent. Al though I considered this a strange liberty to take, yet I endeavoured to make those who were thus invited,â€"in ignorance of the circumstance that they were not mÂ¥ guestsâ€"as much at home as possible. This is the true version of the preliminary strictly private, and no such thing as the name of league was ever mentioned at it which Mr. O)‘Donchoe admits in these words ; * The first meeting was unquesâ€" tionably a private one, being merely ar as â€" semblage of gentlemen at a private house, were the case, what right had O‘Donohoe, unsuthorised, to give publicity to the proâ€" ceedings of that meeting ? But when he ru“u--flmfi-fl-‘b effect, be states what is false. â€" Mr. O‘Donohoe, who was :he prime mover in the s#air, spoke of an organization, and endeavoured to appoint a chairman and ;;.'?,â€"& a distance demurred and said they were led to believe it was not inâ€" tended for a regular political meeting. ever, & .

He admits that an address was drawn up to umflwmnm,mw M-hnphdpdthuodmto be suided by advice of their Bishops. What then was the object of the address, or was it likely that the Catholics as a body would go in ?dflou to the Hierarchy. Comment is unoecessary.

In the first place Mr. Blake‘s name wes not menâ€" tioned and Mr. O‘Donohoe, P. Hughes, March to wait on Geo. Brown, and return: ed with the exposition of his views. In making this f@imey contradistion to the mere words of the protest, O‘Donchoe exâ€" r..dn-d weakness of his position. e was well aware that the consultation with political leaders was not to be conâ€" fined to Ontario affairs, and that ultimately Sir John A. must be conferred with in reâ€" ference to matters under the Dominion control. This being understood ; Mr. )‘ Donehoe‘s deni.l to the contrary betrays more eÂ¥idence of that bad hfi, toâ€" the imputation of which he has himself open.

No office was ever offered to him. It is well known that he did take office some &owyun ago. as assistant to the Emigration Agent in this city, under Sir John Macdonald‘s Governâ€" ment, but owing to his being discovered working treacherously against the Governâ€" ment by which he was employed, he was then dismissed. He knows tiat he has unproger, to hm af soloce, reoie seuinst employer, so he is, of course, against them, and equally ardent in mlkmriondo with the OBpounon.

AnotherpointI wish to mention :â€" Mr. O‘Donohoe says that when he conâ€" sulted me as to whom he would invite, that [ objected to one gentleman, thus leaving each of the guests invited by me, to imagine that it might be himself. ‘This I deny, and distinctly state that no such language was used by me; that I made no objection to any enc.

I have made a plain unvarnished state» ment of facts, which I can certify to if necexsary. Every one who knows me is well aware that 1 have no ambition to graâ€" tify, no place to look for, and that I am not in need of the emolnment arising from any position under the Crown.

We ‘:ad come to see blackguards ; but these men were someâ€" thing worse. Thomhl‘i?piq side, more or less appreciable, in blackguardism â€"bero‘ppt.hm was. nothing _ but tragedy; _ mute, _ weired _ tragdedy. ‘The quiet in the room was horrible.

I had entered the place to laugh; I felt that if 1 stood qmtlyloom on much longer, I should be more likely to weep. So, to excite myself out of the depression of spirits which was fast stealing over me I unfortunately went to the table, and began to play. Still more unfortunately, as the event will show, 1 wonâ€"won proâ€" digiously ; won incredibly ; won at such a rate, that the regular players at the table erowded round me ; and staring at my stakes with hungry, superstitious eyes, whispered to one another, that the Engâ€" lishmmgt:wupingwbmkthobmk. _ The game was Rouge et Noir. 1 had played at it in every city in Europe, withâ€" out, however, the care or the wish to study the Theory of Chancesâ€"that philooofhor'o stone of all gamblers!

[ never resorted to it by necessity, because l never knew what it was to want money. 1 never practised it so incessantly as to lose more than I could afford, or to gain more than I could coolly pocket without being thrown off my balance by my good luck. In short, [ had hbitherto frequented gambling tables, just as I frequented ball rooms nd.rl Wc?bmotbowmqu beâ€" cause I had nothing todo with my leisure .
