Rectan ts TT'. AA. DALY, THE Peoples' Candidate. Who are the Disloyai? The Globe of last Wednesday in speak- ing of the defeat of its pet candidates in our commercial metropolis says :--'* The electors of Montreal will find it as impossi- ble to make Upper Canada longer endure the rule of Cartier, Rose and Galt as to make the St. Lawrence change its course." There can be no mistaking such language as this! Jt tacitly countenances resistance to a constitutional majority. Such words from the pen of Jeff. Davis are treasonable in the estimation of the editor of the Globe. The troubles now devastating a neighbor- ing country originated in the propagation of such abominable doctrines. None but revolutionists give utteranee to such in- flammatory language. The great dema- gogue sees public opinion against him, and a threat is his desperate resource. Men of Canada! are you going to support a party whose leading organ countenances resist- ance to a constitutional majority? Surely you will show by your votes that the party which resorts to such disloyal threats, is unworthy the support of every lover of his country. Who are the Corruptionists ? Mr. Brown's paper continues to apply tuis epithet to many persons, against whom it isunable to bring any specific charge of corruption. This reckless resort to an odi- ous epithet is equally unjust and cowardly. But while his paper is pursuing this un- principled course of blackening the repu- tation of opponents, Mr. Brown passes over in silence specific charges of the most se- rious character brought against himself and others of his party. He is silent on the charge that, during the few days he held ~ the office of Finance Minister, in 1848,. he made use of his position to secure an in- crease of his indebtedness at the bank in which the public deposits were lodged to the enormous sum of about $60,000; a figure which has since swelled to some $70,000, chiefly by the non-payment of in- terest ; the best of all possible proofs that he was not the sort of man to whom, on ordinary commercial principles, so enor- mous a sum would be likely to be lent.-- We submit that Mr. Brown is not in a po- sition to brand, by the general epithet of corruptionists, a whole party, numbering in its ranks many of the best men in the Pro- vince. We should be sorry to think that the pe- cuniary transactions of the Premier are of a character similar to that just mentioned ; but even he has not escaped the penalty which so many publie men in this country pay by being charged with acts of corrup- tion. For example, the Montreal Gazette publishes the following story : " A correspondent furnishes us with the following statement from an Upper Canada paper, assuring us of its entire correctness. The statement is certainly circumstantially made, and it has the air of very gross cor- ruption in the family of the first Minister : "During the recent session the member for Carleton enquired of the government upon what terms and under what conditi- ons a contract for the construction of a gravel road, in the neighborhood of Lan- caster, County of Glengarry, had been awarded to Mr. R Sandfield Macdonald, the Premier's brother? After several ef- forts to evade a direct answer, and amidst evident confusion. the Hon. John Sandfield Macdonald found himself compelled to ad- mit that, in violation of the law the job had, without competition, advertisements, or tenders, been given by the government to the said Roland Sandfield Macdonald. The only excuse which the Premier offered for this corrupt arrangement was that * if the public had been notified of the contem- plated works, the owners of the adjacent land would have demanded exorbitant pri- ces for the right of way." The prorogation of Parliament prevented Mr. Powell from ventilating the piece of jobbery, as he would have done more fully, when the or- ders in Council, authorizing the expendi- ture and the contract for the performance of the work, had come down to the House. But we have the best authority for stating that the following facts can be proved at any time, in or out of Parliament: *' Ist. That a responsible party offered to take the contract for $1,900--the road _ be- ing 4? miles in length--at $400 per mile. ** 2nd. That Mr. John Sandfield Macdon- ald, when asked about the contemplated work, has repeatedly declared that it would be given out by contract, and to the lowest bidder. '3rd. That contrary to all law and pre- cedent, and in violation of his duties, the Commissioner of Public Works was in- duced {by pressure from above, privately to award the job to Roland Sandfield Mac- donald for $11,000, by which the public treasury was robbed of over $9,000, the ex- cess in price paid to the Premier's brother.' All we shall say on this subject is that when a charge of this nature is put into a specific shape, it ought to be met by a specific reply. | No such reply has, so far as we know, yet been given. The Mer- cury, the Globe, or some other organ of the Ministry ought certainly to give the public a full statement of the facts from a minis. terial point of view.-- Leader. Facts for the Electors. LOOK ON THAT PICTURE AND ON THIS. (From the Globe May 27, (From the Globe May 25, 1863.) 1862.) But it is said that we sup- port a Government which does not make this (Re- presentation by Popula- tion) a Cabinet question. THAT IS TRUE, and we submit that the position is one which may proper- ly be taken by the most devoted advocate ef Re- presentation by Popula- tion, without a shadow of imputation against his motives. The special ques- tion before the Reformers of Upper Canada at this moment is, whether we shall accept Mr. John A. Macdonald, the friend and ally of M. Cartier and the cohort of corrupt politici- ans, who have, during the last ewht years, resisted Representation by Popula- tion with all their strength, or whether we shall accept a Reform Government, composed of the devoted Sriends of a reconstruction of the relations between Upper and Lower Canada. (From the Globe, May 19, 1863.) The great issue of Rep. by Pop. will be an open question, The members of the Government will be free to advocate it, and vote for it as indi- viduals ; but the Govern- ment as such will have no common policy upon it.-- We sball not for a mo- ment pretend that this is enough to satisfy us--or that we have not demand- ed more than this from our opponents. On the contrary we admit that it was with extreme reluc- tance the friends of re- formed representation in Parliament determined to support a Government holding nohigher ground en this question; * * * * under the circum- stances they determined to accept the new ar- rangement; WE THINK THEY DECIDED WISE- LY IN DOING SO, and so we are persuaded will the Electors of Upper Canada decide. But whether that had been the result, BETTER --A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER HAD IT BEEN THAT THE CARTIER MACDONALD GOV- ERNMENT WITH ALL ITS WICKED NESS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THAN THAT SO MANY LEAD- ING MEN OF THE LIB- ERAL OPPOSITION SHOULD HAVE SACRI- FICED THEIR PRINCI- PLES, and destroyed the moral influence which they justly possessed with the electors of Upper Ca- nada. (From the Globe, Dec. 4, 1857.) Representation by Po- pulation--Justice to Up- per Canada. The elect- ors should make it the foremost question at the election. They should not merely have candi- dates committed to it asa principle--that pledge has been tried and found wanting. Every candi- date for the votes of the people should be bound to make it the "basis" of his political fabric; to pledge himself that he shall urge itat every op- portunity. 2 AND SUPPORT NO MINIS- TRY THAT WILL NOT GRAPPLE WITH IT EARNESTLY AND IM- MEDIATELY. 2% In no other way can it be carried, If the question be office first, and just re- presentation afterwards, it will never be carried : but let the cry be Represen- tation by Population first, without regard toe office, and victory will soon be reached, REJECT THE LAWYER AND YOTE FOR NE a Mild Language. The Beacon calls Mr. Daly a Traitor! The defender of Swindlers! A Revolution- ist ! &c., &c., &c. We regret that Mr. Macfarlane should have such an exceedingly dirty road to travel: and all to no purpose. He will unquestionably stick in the mire, and never reach the terra firma of the Legislative Halls until he finds a surer guide. Will not the friends of Mr. Daly resent such language, and show by their votes and exertions on Tuesday next that " abuse 1s a losing game?" NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A.
