When Brown had finished Mr. i Luke desired to eXplnin how the interruption i arose, when Brown, McKellar, and the lesser lights raised the shout to “put him out.” i This was attempted, but those who undertook the task counted without their host; and had it not been for some calm council given at the moment, Brown and his entire party would soon have found themselves in the . open air. 9 So universally is this gentleman respected by the intelligent classes, that at the last meeting of the Nermanby Conncil the follow- ing resolution was “Moved by H.

FRUJI 0 {R 0 WW CORRESPONDENT. QUEBEC, 22nd April, 1862. The interest tn the election, consequent on the acceptance ct othce by Messrs- Carling, Robinson, and Patten, is culminating in the district of Sturgeon. The return of Robinson, I apprehend, is not attributable to that Gen- tlernan’s adaption to the requirements of a high ordcr of statesmanship, but rather to the feeling of detestation which the odor of Brown universally inspires. Brown’s credit and word is at a fearful discount, and any man who is un.crtnuato enough to be appiaudo ed by such a thorough-face! chariatan. is po- litically damned. His advocacy of McMnr- rich, however, will not tend so much to llam- age on unstained reputation, as it wiil aid in the removal of a covering with which that personage has enshrouded himself. :T-he Globe, by its emphatic presentations of Mo- Murrich’s iznpeccability challenges enquiry, and I am much mistaken if, as the result of an extended enquiry, into transactions with which that gentleman was intimately connecv ted, it does not appear that he is a cunning hypocrite. Take, for instance, his course as a Director of the North West Transit Compa- ny. He, in connection with some other per- sons, purchased for the Company, the steam- boat " Rescue,” at Buffalo. They, the Direc- tors, gavc their own personal, individual notes- for the amount at three or four months, With the understanding that the liabilities should be assumed by the Company. At or aboht the time the notes matured, M r. McMurrich pro ed that they, the Directors, should sell Lthe at to the Company at an advance of {152,000. ltlr. George Monroe, one of the .di- l rectors, objected, saying that beconld notbe ,a party to such a dishonorable transaction, l and the result was that the said John'McMur-. rich handed'a check to Monroe to relieve-him from the liabilii) he had assumed in the phr- lchasing of the “ Rescue.” In this way the Directors were relieved from the troublesome conscientious samples of Mr.Munroe, and the. affair was left t6 the financial manipuhtâ€"ion of less scrupulous persons, , Duumnz LITERARY AND l\1!.“l'l'ALl)lPROVE- .‘IENT ASSOCIATIONr-Jrhe question for next Wednesday evening’s debate in this Society is .' “ Is Representation by Population desira- lo.)

BROWN’S PARTY AND ITS OBJECTS. To the Editor of the Durham Slamlurd: DURHAM, April let., 1862. DEAR SIR :â€"â€" Referring to an article in your last number, in which you state that the Stone School House which cost $2,200 so lately is now in a tottering condition. I beg to say that upon the first report of its danger Ivtsited and examined the building,-â€"â€"I a- gree with you that it is unsafe, and in my opinion a portion 01 it isin immediate danger of fallingâ€"I believe there is only one way of savingjt, [and at a trivial expense] namely by building a substantial buttress at the south- west corner. entering well under one of the Union Stones about half way between the ground and the roof. As one of the School Trustees I do not feel myselfjustified in in» sisting on the continuance of its use in its present condition. In the present election, two parties have entered the contest; the ministerialists, represented by Mr. Patton, and the faction who, in 1858, abandoned all their professions in an unlucky grab at office. Is the Opposition a pait3 who united to- gether with the View of carrying out some "If at and “ell defined principle, or is it 111erel3 a number of 1111211 banded togethei by the nope of being able to share otflcial booty. ”111i: 1 question it IS impo1tant for the electors of Saugeen to {tenders and, and we therefore propose to give them the facts 011 which they can form a correct judgement. “78 shall not present the evidence at opponents - but shall give the estimate the Opposition leaders have given ot one aunthPr.

What are the qualifications of this gentle- man that caused him to be selected 3.; cash- keeper of the Brown-Dorion Coalition '3 The Globe and Brown must enlighten us. On the 12th November, 1857, that journal described Mr. Lernieux as the “ somnolent and inert “gentleman who still dozes in the Depart- ment of Public \Vorks.” As the efiectof this somnolency of the sleeping minister, it was added: “The public Works [Department] “has come to a dead lock throught the iris “inertia. of its imbecile nead.” Nor was this all. Mr. Lernreux was represented by the same authority not merely as an “ inert dozer,” Whose “ imbecility ” had brought his department to a dead lock: he was described as corrupt into the bargain. On the Blst October, 1857, the Globe speculating on the Lalleged approaching resignation of Messrs iLernieux and Terrill, said they would not do leo unless they were paid to retire: ‘ “ If they are to resign, it must be as in the case of a distinguiahed “courtier” now on 'the Bench, with the patent of appointment to a good fat office in their brooches pockets.â€" .They will not trust to promises, for they lknow too well the Worthlessness of such a lgnarantee.

There must Eu: no room for contingencies, for in this case there is double chance of “a blip ’twixt the cup and the lip,”--â€"â€"the Ministry may slip their promises, or may slip out of the office.» Therefore, we do not blame the obnoxious Ministers, for holding on to the seals. unt‘l they can exchange them for a piece of parch- ment with the Governors nzune and seal at at the bottom of it.” There is hardlyapublic man in the Prov; ince whom Mr. Brown has not, at one time 0: another, charged with the guilt of a thou- sand villainies.

Doxion, the Lower Canada; head of the Rouge- Grit C(ialition: a man whose reputation was hopelessly ruin- ed, the two entered the ministry together; Mr. Brown being Premier, and therefore cal)- inet maker, and Mr. Drummond Attorney General East! Less than three months he- fore this took placeâ€"May 5, 18:39amthe Globe had made a specific charge against Mr. Drummond that he sold his vote, for the amount he was to receive as compt.-nsation of his services as commissioner under the Setgnorial Tenures commutation act. In reference to a return of expenses: connected with that commission, the Globe remarked that there appeared “ Mr. L. ’l‘. Drummond for £1,500?” and added by way of supplying a motive for his puhlie conduct, *‘ no Wonder “ that the honorable gentleman should come “up to save the ministry. He llmlerstands “ the question of interest to PGlfPC'lifln.” An- other specifie charge of corruption against Mr. Drttmmond appeared in the Globe Jan. 7, 1855: “Mr. Drummond not said money to “ the canvassers for Mr. Gugy, but that he “ satd it to the Colonel himself. and not 01th “did he say money, but paid money: he “handed out the cash until his own pockets “and those of his friends were empty, and “then he called on the Colonel to put his “name on the back of a little btll. whereby “more money might be said.” On 'Whlcl't followed this piece bf moralizing: “ Are “ not things come to a pretty pass, when a “minister of the crown 'enters'into a con- “ Spiracv to bribe a constitueney, and has not “the decency to'conceal it, because in so “doing he would suffer pecuniary loss. If “ Mr. Drummond had, any sense of shame, he .“ would never again show his face in Parlia- .“ment.” And- on the 3lst May 1856, the same authority described him as a ‘* misera- “ ble' hireling ” whose conduct was that or a “ stage-struck ‘school boy.” “ Mr Drum- “mond may mout- it like a stagmstruck “ school boy, about his patriotism aml his (lis- “interestedness; he wlll henceforth be set “ down as only a miserable hireling after all.” Such is the character given, With great cirâ€" cumstantiality, by the-head of the COfilithu of 1858, of his own Attorney General for Lower Canada. . ' THE ROUGE'GRIT COALITION SPBA’KER OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. The question what to do with M.
