The Electioneering Monitor. | MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1863. A few Falsehoods Culled from the ** Beacon.”’ The Beacon of Friday last contains the following, amongst many other, erroneous statements «Me, Bashinan was 66 ain returned on Mondi clamation in Hi on. He stated his determination saipepport tbo} Government.” This is false, and the Beacon must have known it; for Mr, Buchanan refuted the ander in an able and lengthy letter pub- Thursday. Again; the Beacon says : “ Ais Bietion Oashasties have decided that a man cannot qua property, it can form no asential tot iis ‘qualification.’ This also is untrue. No Election Com- mittee ever decided any thing of the kind. The reference is to the Rankin case, where the Committee held, and held rightly, that since Mr. Rankin had conveyed the pro erty, upon which he desired to qualify, to his wile, whilst he was in insolvent circum- stances, the Deed to his wife was void, and therefore Sd nothing. In Mr. Daly’s case the fact is altogether different. Mrs. Daly’s title ts her property is indisputable, having been conveyed to her by Col. Daly, whereas Mrs. Rankin had no title at all. Again the Beacon states : “That Mr. Macfarlane proved bis qualification be- fore the Election Committe® of House, less six weeks ago; and Daly i Besides, Macfarlane pr fieate fom the Sheriff that he had made claration of qualification, according to law, before he was nominated a candidate, at the present election,” This also i is false. Mr. Macfarlane did e his qualification. It is tru : was eseetin in his attempt to do when the House ol tess but had ro completed his proof, and would have been quite unable to do so. noe the Roiceh asks: “Q——What exouse had Daly to offer for declaring toa om vatalifeatio Ee ai —That it was not so immoral to “solemnly aceite ’ as to swear, is an Exsouaely: gross and uncall- ed for alsshoédi Mr. Je never offered td such excuse, nor was y excuse ne- Tr t. never fr decTRrbn to a & ceeds qualification. gain, the Beacon asks e Q—W hat does the statute say ?” and replies : 8 “4 o ‘solemnly declare’ that as teuth, h is false, is perjury,—a ‘solemn declaration’ be- ing in law, and in fact an oath This, too, is false. The Statute merely says that any person who, ‘ in giving the ‘al q deeeripaen, of such lands or tenements as above sec yg? * knowingly and wilfully “makes an atement relative to the “situation, peeition extent or bounds of “such lands or tenements, shall be deemed “guilty of a misdemeanor.” The Decla- ration is nowhere called a “solemn” de- claration ; yet the Beacon desired its read- ers to understand it was so called, and placed the words in inverted comas. words used are simply “I, A. B., do de- clare and testify,” &c. A “solemn declaration” is not, ‘in fact and law,’ an oath. Th Beacon might, with equal truth, assert that stealing an nd shooting are identical crim Electors of Perth ! can you relyion a ana statement advanced by the might go on to column after peaks with ‘false staments’ culled from that ex- ceedingly corrupt sheet, but space will not permit us. VOTE FOR Tr. NA. ramen dag 't NO MORE LAWYERS IN THE HOUS! Electors of Perth! listen to no lying re. ports which the Grits may have circulated with reference to Mr. Daly’s Qualification. |Rally to the Polls early on TUESDAY Morning, and vote for T. M. DALY, the poor man’s friend. Electors! Mark This! What the ‘‘Globe”’ says of Mr. Mac- farlane, From the Globe, Saturday, July 12, 1862. The Stratford Bea returns to the charge about the Perth election and the inaction of The Globe. It says “that the Reformers of Perth did expect, and had a right to expect, that the leading organ of the party would have repudiated Mr. Daly.” And again it says :—“ If we know any thing of the former tactics of The Globe, we should say that its duty was to denounce Mr. Daly, and unhesitatingly ac- cept the nominee of the Reform party.”— We have already informed the Beacon that no member of the convention that nomi- nated Mr. Macfarlane communicated the facts to us; that no statement was ever made of the reasons which induced the majority to vote for him, and that we had no declaration of principles from him or any of his immediate supporters. bee pyeislinin a Conservative, Noméinat- specially to catch the Catholic vote! a that we knew of Mr. Macfarlane was, that he had been a Conservative, that h was nominated Sen i cael. ane Ro- man Catholic vote, an we were told he adopted the entire ata iy “the Min- istry.
