It therefore may fairly be concluded thqi already the peoâ€" .ple of Ontaric see clearly Albha they were imposed upon lass September by the falso professions of Tory do‘uago‘u‘; inj that only the opportunity is wanted "Lo, retrace the unfortunaie step which was taken on that occasion. We‘ need not reâ€" call to the recollection of our readers the loud promises of happiness and prosperity made to all classes and conditions of It is with no ordinary fecling of pleasure that we have to congratulrte the South Riding of Grey and the country at large upon the result of the recent elections. As will be found in another column, Mr, Hunter, the Lil eral caniddate in this Rids ing, has been returned by the large majoriâ€" ty of 6413 _ and the . Government of Mr. Mowat has been sustained by two to one of the Opposition. _ Such extraordinary suceess was not anticipated by the supportâ€" ers of the Ministry and that the result of: the contest is so satisfrctory is the best proof of the honesty and efficieney »f the administration _ of public afâ€" fuirs for the last eight years in the Proâ€" «/n9ce of Ontario. ‘There can be no quesâ€" #ion nog as to what the country thinks of the National Poliey. It is true that the working of tke N. P‘. has nothing to do with Provincial efairs and the Liberal candiâ€" dlates proferred discussing the policy and measures of Mr. Mowat‘s Government, and standing or falling by them; but the Opposiâ€" tion persistently dragged in the Tariff question and appeared always more anxious to discuss it than any purely Jogal questions. This was especially the case with Mr. Faâ€" hey who, at his first meeting is the Town ignorance of the gonius of Church Courts, and conveys a false impression of the action of the U. P. Synod on this particular ecase. The whole question turned upon the duraâ€" tion of future punishment, and not upon the mode, as flippantly insinuated by our contemporary. Upon this question â€" of eternal duration of future punishment all €Christian churches are agreed, In every age of the Church there have been men who from heriditary influence, the force of Education, and attendant cireumstances, or, perhaps, from conviction, have empracâ€" ed novel views on matters of form as well me of doctrine, and fancied therasclves to have arrived at the truth which till then had been hidden from the world. These have had their day and in duo time have given place to something more novel, or more illusory, but the trath has remained. And it would be better for the cause of truth, the peace of the Cburch, and the reâ€" putation of those men who are thus earried away by novelties in religious things, that whoen they find themselves out of harmony with the Church or any of the cardinal doeâ€" trines of the Christian Faith, they would withdraw from the communion to which they helogg and form an Independent soâ€" eiety. Still to hold their places and salaries and make use of this vantage grouad in‘ propagating heresy and sapping the founda ‘ #ions of the church which they protess to [ uphold, is dishonest in the extreme, U.

David Mcrea, of the United Presbyterian Church, Seotland, who was charged with teaching views on the doctrine of the Eternity of Future Punâ€" tshment, at variance with the teachings of the Church of which he was a minister, has been before the Synod of the U. P. Church at its recent sitting. A Committee investâ€" ed with Presbyterial powers, was appointed to confert with Mr. Merca, and snbmitted kix questions to him on the points at issue. The answers given proved nsatisfactory to the Committee, and Mr. Mcrea was } forthwith suspended from the office o the: ministry. Our local contemporary, in comâ€" ‘ menting on this matter, betrays his usual Agents for the Grej Roview. â€"The Government of Sir Jolhn A. Maeâ€" donald is slowly proceeding step by :t p in its polisy of deception. On the 9th of May the Minister of Public Works laid upon the tablw of Parliament the famous resolutions for the bailding of the Canada Phcific Kailway, by which the entire control of the undertaking was to be taken out of the hands of Purliament, and given to the Ministry of the day. On that memorable eccasion Dr. Tupper stated that as regards the route frotm the Rocky Mountains to the Pacifie coast the Gevernment had come to wo decisiom other than that the action ofthe Mackenzie Admuinistration, im determining to adopt the Rarrard Inlet Route was premature. What will ba thought of the man who could make such a statement, while at the same time he knew that the Government of which he was a momber had on the 22ud of April previousâ€"I7 days beforeâ€"by order in Council resolvel tpon choosing Esquimalt as the terminus of the Railway and necessarily the Bute Inlet as the way of approach to the seaboard 2 So for the sake of keeping Sir John‘s constitaâ€" eucy in tnne the people of Canada are to be obliged to throw away $21,000,000 on the building of the C. P. R. terminus and an aunual tax of $693,000 for the renming ot the same for all time. _ Indcpen@entiy of the calamity of groaning under tha incubâ€" us of the National Policy, the public now will begin to realize the luxury of being ruled by a Conservative Government, who place their interests as a very subsidiary wonsideration, and make the great olject awnd aim of existence the keeping of themâ€" selves in office, Durham, June 12, 1879.

The following 4e the.majorities in cach municipality in this Ridipg :â€" 5 MUXICIPALITY. | HUNTER _ PAHEY, _ «L53 Majorite for Mr. Hubter of 643 g ' The Chronicle is scized with a fit of ; | spleen, and as is his wont when in this j | mood, slanders unoffending persons right ¢ and _ left. Under _ the _ heading of t ‘ * A Caso of Rib Stabbing "â€"A curious capâ€" f tion, by the wayâ€"he attacks our esteemed . | correspondondent, Dr. Christoe, of Fleshâ€" ' | erton, who cuntributed some letters to the ; | colunans of the Review duriag the late conâ€" N ‘ test. In common with a large proportion . of the electors of East Grey and an over ‘ , | whelming majority of the electors of South ; ' Grey, Dr. Christoe is opposed to outside g candiduates, and warmly espoused the cause :ot Mr. Rorke against Mr. A. W. Lauder in f.' East Grey. In the course of the campaign l)lu.- in a very legitimate way made use of i | various local and general questions in opâ€" posing Mr. Lauder and in furthering the * | eandidature of his friend, Mr. Rorke. No "| exception can be taken to all this, nor to | anything written or spoken by Dr. Christoé; + | during tue contest which was conducted, ‘| so far as he was concerned, in as fair and above board a fashion as could be desired. | As an elector in East Grey, and more esâ€" ' I pecially as the Reeve of Artemesia, the inâ€" terests of the Riding were watched with |very jealous care, and, although in his communmication to the Review he hit hard, this was done in the interests of his conâ€" stituents. However, it is not Dr. Christoe whois aimed at by the Chronicle. . It is the‘ Returning officer of South Grey. â€" Saysour contemporary, he, the Returning Officer, "directs the little rivulet of patronage which he happens to control into the Grit caulâ€" dron," _ Aye, there‘s the rub. Loaves and fishes again, Had Mr. Returning Officer directed his patronage to the Chromicle office then all would have been right, and because he has not done so, but has chosen to exercise his discretion in this matter, as he had a perfect right to do, the venom of the Chronicle must be directed at him. The Returning Officer, we can assure our conâ€" temporary, is not under the control of any elique, but in the discharge of his duties consults the public interest, and bestows his patronage upon those who are the most deserving of it. And from the approvedreâ€" putation for uprightness anq'l fur dealing whichcharacterizes that gentléman,we may still turther assure our contemporary that so long as he continues this policy of slander, aud persists in casting about the seeds of discord among a peaceâ€"loving community, he need1 not expect that any of the rivulets of patronage at the direction of the Reâ€" turning Officer will be directed towards the ( office of the Chronicle. 4 Theâ€" Electionâ€" Returns Bouth Grey. men at thit time; of the glowing pictures | of revived trade, of factories on every : stream, of hamlets converted into cities, 0f | doubling and quadrupling the yn)ynlatbi‘ and providing home markets for the sittâ€" , plus products of the farm, by making of | Canada what SirJohn, by the wizard wands !uf the N.

CHRIS TOE, l There is no question but the large maâ€" jority given to Mr. Hunter in this Riding is due partly to the fuct that Reformers wers bound to recover the ground they had lost last year by their indifference, and nobly have they done it Another eleâ€" â€"ment which contributed materially to swell Mr. Hunter‘s majority was the active supâ€" } port of a large section of our Roman Cathoâ€" lie fellow subjects. Thisis as it should be. Roman® Catholics are the natuaal allies of the Liberal party, and #ore good tirn deserves another, then most certainly the Roman Catholies should support the Liberâ€" al partyâ€" with heart and hand. It is to the Liberal party that they are indebted for their political existence. During the long struggle which continued in Ireland for 'nearly threeâ€"quarters of a century against lthe enactments of the penal laws, the Libâ€" erals were always fighting the battles of the IÂ¥ish people, both in and out of Parâ€" liarwent, and it is to them that they are inâ€" debted for the civil and geligious liberty which they now emjoy, The recent election would seem to indicate that these importâ€" ant lessons of history nre beginning to be appreciated, and that in future, the hope may be reasonably entertained that, as in this contest, a large majorty of Roman Catholie votes will be given in favor of Liberal candldates. Mr. Hunter‘s maâ€" jority was still furtherincreased by the votes of very many Conservatives who rose above the projudices of party and warraly supâ€" ported, so far as they were avle, a Governâ€" ment which had confessedly done so much | in advancing the moral and material mterâ€" ‘ ests of the Province, and against whom not I one single instance of malâ€"administratien had been established by the Opposition. All honor to these men, and it is a consumâ€" mation devoutly to be wished, that a good deal more of this spirit which has been shown by many of our friends in the Conâ€" servative ranks would be introducsd into the working of party politics. obseryer is convineod that the latter end of this tarif adjustment is going to be infinâ€" Hely worse than the beginning.

Meanwhile, Mr. Augus MeCormick, with his bagpipes, arrived in Upper Town and after playing a number of lively mirs in front of the residense of Mr. Hunter, went down to the "Interâ€" national Hotel," and after a short time reâ€" turned to Mr. Hunter‘s residence, which by this time was almost takem possession of by a large number of the Liberal party, who were most boxpitablly <entertainedy Early on Friday morning the Hanover Band arrwedsin‘Company with Dr. Landerâ€" kis, and serenaded Mr. Hunter, Dr. Gun, ‘The Review Office, Mr. MacRae, Messrs.

In the afternoon the places mentioned above were again serenaded, and short nddresses of congratulation delivered.

An impression apparently prevailed thnat the Dirsotors had sufficient money to comâ€". plete their scheme, and that the railway would be built whethor the people of Arthur assisted or not, They were perâ€" feetly content to allow the line to be conâ€" structed and to share in its bonefits, but not to share in the gost of bringing it along. This is "human nature" probably, and the Directors in their appeal have supplied an opportunity to exemplity it. By the time the scheme is a year older it will become amply apparent to our neighbors that the projectors have not any too much money for the promotion of this laudable enterâ€" prise. | | _ Masoxtc.â€"At the last meeting of St. Alâ€" ban‘s Lodge of &A L. & A.
