Ileretofore, our co-religionists, as well as other classes of our countrymen, have paid very little, if any attention to the manner in which the Government ot the Province is car- ried on. They take no pains to examine the proceed'ngs of the Legislature, the treasures that are enacted, or to look after the conduct and acts of public men. In making choice of a party, some are influenced by local consid- erations, others by personal motives. and very many by a certain class of bar-room politi- cians who have their own endsto serve. Few care to satisfy their minds by a careful inqui- ry into the principles and policy which in~ llnence the action of party leaders or of the journals which seek to direct public opinion. The consequence is, great weakness and di- vision among those who ought to act united- 13? as oneiman.

Ours is the only nationality in Canada that has allowed its strength and its unity to be izttnairetl for knaves and demagogues. We regret that, in this young and flourish- ing cauntry, any distinction of nationality should exist. That such obtains, and to our prejudice, is a patent fact. There is a wide- spread and powerful combination against Irishman-Catholic as well as Protestant-â€" existing in our midst. That combination has been organized by the leaders of the Scotch Clear Grit party, and its aim is to crush out and trample upon the Irish element, and make of Upper Canada another Scotland. And what means do these cunning and ambitious men make use of to attain their ends? .Numerically weak themselves, they could do nothing without the assistance of others.

They know well what i will suit the palate of our Orange country- men, and how to enlist their-sympathy. The ‘ next step is to seek admission into the Lodge. Here they bring their arts into play.â€" They have no feelingâ€"beyond the mutual one of hostility to Catholicityâ€"in common with the Orangemezi ; they tlwspise himself, his country, and very often his creed. The 'politics of the generality of Oranueme'i do not extend beyond the principles of the Order. l Almost every Grit, on the contrary, is a poli- ltician in his own way. Those, especially. who are selected by the leading spirits of the party to operate in the Lmlges.are rzu courant on the lessons taught by the Globe on the :“Inroad of Popery.” "Priestly Domination.” the “Influence of the Hierarchy,” “Sepa- rate Qchools,” and other cognate snbiecig - .- 3With this stockdn-trade the Grit sets about revolutionizing the Lodge.

The only *serious obstacle in the way is the leaning l which the Orangemen has to conservatism.â€" This being neither stable, nor grounded on any fixed princip'e. is easily weakened.â€" Copies and frequent doses of “No Popery” speeches, compounded fro n the Globe dispen- sary, are administered by the Grit leech to the “brethren,” and act as alternatives With singular effect. Thus, it happens that one or two many “liberals,” of the Brown school, and of the Hugh Miller or “Johnny” Ritchie type can enter a Lodge, and by their skillnl appeals to the prejudices and bigotry of the members. convert them from High Toryism to the extreme of Radicalism. There is no exaggeration in all this. It is quite true -- ‘Bhe thing has been done. The last elections have given us the result.

Then,was inaugurated the era of religious contention.â€" Then the name of Reformer become a sy- nonym for all that was bitter. insulting, and tiostileto Catholics. Our religion and insti- tutions were assailed and misrepresented-â€" our Bishops, Priests. and Nuns were slander- ed and mocked by Reform orators and a Re- form press. The recollection of all this is too fresh in the minds of our readers, to require us topursue the subject further. Snfiice it to say,§that the majorityof Catholicsâ€"seeing that the shadow and not the substance, the name and not the reality, of Reform existed -â€"aban- doned a party with which thev could no lon- ger hold any relations, consistently with their own honor and self-respect. What else could they have done? What other alternative of- fered, than to ally themselves with men whose principles and policy had become lib- eralized, and who have proved themselves more friendly, more just, and vastly more re- liablelthan the treacherous and deceitful faco tion they had discarded 3 ,. ' In the first place. the great‘bulk of the Ca- tholic body followed the politics of the Re- form party, in the golden days of Baldwin and Lafontaine. There were serious abuses prevalent at that period, the (Lathelibs, in commonwith others, had to endure the intelâ€" erant dominatian of ultra Toryism. They de- sired to be emancipated from their thraldom under the oligarchy that domineered over them, and to enjoy the political and social privileges common to every British subject.â€" A party professing thoroughly liberal princi- ples, aml disposed to deal justly with all classes of the community sprung into exist- ence, under the lead of the statesmen just mentionee. To this party. Catholics attach- ed themselves warmly, and were in turn we!- comed as friends and treated as allies. They were Reformers in the true sense ofthe term. and as such they gained the confidence and secured the co-operatiou of our co-religionists. As long, therefore, as the Reform party re- mained faithful to their first principles and unbiased by the bigotry and intolerance that now characterize the class of men who have falsely usurped the name. so long did Catho- lics remain true and firm in their adhesion to the cause. But a change, and a sad one, came. The wolf assumed nhe sheep’s clothing. George Brown took the place of Robert Baldwin, and But there is yet another ciass that han been led astray by the Wiles, and fallen imo the snares of the Grits. W'e allude to our own co-reiigionists. They. too, in no despicable numbers, have lenttiieir aid to the anti-Irish party of Upper Canada. How this happened we will endeaver briefly to explain. A ‘ Should not such a state of things, it may be fairly asked, cause Orangemen to pause, and reflect, and ask themselves, Onght we to permit ourselves any longer to he rnmle the tools of a party that treats us with am much indifference and contempt? Ought we not. rather make common cause with our country- men, and stand forth in our strength. deter- minec to expose the exclusrve policy and check the arrogant pretentious of those who would ostracise and degrade us in this coun- try of our adoption ’? This is the course that should naturally commend itself to every Irishman of mind and spirit. Here.then, is one class of Irishmenâ€"nn- mindful of their Tory and Conservative traii tiousâ€"who allowthemselves to be seduced from party principle and party allegiance.â€" Disreganlingtheir own nationality, and the tie that should bind them to their common countrymen of every religious shade. they suffer themselves to be misled, ml (lnpetl, and sold, by those who make sport of their gullibility and capital of their prejudices-â€" They blindly enter the service of their bitterâ€" est enemies, end find out only when too late, that they took a false step, that they made conshmmate apes of themselves. All this occurred a few months ago. “'8 have seen it in Toronto, North W el’ ington. North Ontario.

Despite the many proofs of incinceri- ty and rottenness. the repetition of insults and mi~representations, oftruculence and ruf- finnisrr, m: the part of Clear Gritsâ€"the pre- sent soccalled Reformersâ€"we regret to say that there are many Catholics who still ad- here to the cause of the fanatic, and follow the banner and leadership of Mr. George Brown. They may be acting in good faith and according to their convictiOns; but they are in error. They falsely imagine that Clear Grits are opposed to Orangeism, anil'that they are, therefore, entitled to Catholic support.â€" We have already shown how the “Reform- ers” deal with Orangemen. They use them and abuse them as it suits their purpose.â€" hey do the same with Catholics. A Detroit paper says the “plot” was re- vealed by the passage of Confederate bonds through that city. Did the post office autho- rities there open the letters, and violate the sanctity af the mail? Or. if they were the first to make the discovery, how came it to be first telegraphed from our Governor Gen- eral to Washington ? These contradictory stories need to be reconciled before they re- ceive the slightest credence. It is not im- pertinent to ask, why, at such a time the Pre- mier is flitting about between Toronto and Buffalo and vice versa? The Washing- ton Government can expect nothing from on but open-handed neturality; and we protest against our Administration: interfering unec- cessarily in the affairs of our neighbors.‘ The Governor General ought to be well convinced of the truth of the statements communicated to him before giving the sanction of his name and station to them.

There may be gaod cause for complaint against the Fed- eral Government for their treatment of the two thousand Southern officers who are said to be immured in the prison at Johnson’s Is- land ; but that the Southern Government would hardly send an expedition out which. if it failed, would admit of no means of es- cape. Such an eXpedition could hope for no countenance in Canada, whither, in case of trailure, it would have to fall back. We think this alone a strong reason against a circum- stantial story given by our Ministerial cotem- porary. As a denomination, however, we are hated and ignored. as. tar as it is possible to do so, bythose who cal! themselves Reformers.-â€" For proof of this. let us look to the sentiments of Retorm members, to the views enunciated in Reform journals. and above all to the alli- ance whivh the Clear Grits forced upon Or- angemen for the avowed purpose of trampling on Catholics. We publish numerous extracts to-day from several of our cotem‘peraries about the big story which has thrown our neighbors on the borders, and far into the interior, into a state of extreme trepidation. The Detroit people, if their papers truly represent the state offeel- inrz there, have been unusually excited. A friendly rifle match at Port Stanley is con- verterl by these exceedingly nervous people into a thing of most portentous significance ; every riflcman is described as if he were a filibusterer in arms, and the most harmless weapon is- converted by the excited “locals” into instruments of warfare dire and terrible. Little steamers were sent here and there, to look after the “rebels;” but no “rebels” were to be found, and the gallant crews reurned to Detroit, fully convinced that somebody had been perpetrating a great hoax at their ex- pense. We think this is the only rational conclusion to which any one can come. In- deed it seems probable, as suggested by the Hamilton Spectator, that the whole story arose from an expression let tall by some Southern gentlemen who were on a shooting expedi- tion in the western part_ofuthe Province. to The truth is that a great many Catholics have been deceived and betrayed as We“ as Orangemen. They have been carried away by the empty but high-sounding title of “Re- former.” They have received bad counsel frnm self-Seeking men. Who desired to estab- lish a claim on the Mix istryflat their expense, and to open the door to some offineby means of their votes.
