He dwelt at some length on the good qualities of Mr. Lewis, and said thas the reason the Liberal Conservatives, or uhowouldenllthmth.l.ibufl()orr:a: tionists, desired to ostracize Mr. Le was because he was neither for the party nor with the party but for the country .. Dr. Sweetland sincerely hoped that the remarks which had just fallen from the lips of Mr. Currier were & slip of the tongue. He asked the audience would any British subject ever consent to give up a foot of British soil on this Continent ? (Cries of No! No! â€"Never.) _ , on.
