The Governinent .are evidently acting on • the assumption that jthere is no such thing as public -opinion, or 'if. there. is- ,• they- will set it at defiance. How. any person can honestly. defend the course of the Government • is something we cannot understand. The highwayman Who...gags •lirs victim and then robs him-; is denoun- ced. as a villain' of the lowesttype, but the politician who tries a similar gamic, is.calledi "a clever fellow." Here. people have for years been . accustomed to know their Ridings as North, South and -Centre, and after acquiring this knowledge, it is all undone, and requires to, be learned. over •again. Imagine the township of Hullett''being changed .from the Centre to the South Riding—the thing -is .more ehon absurd.°] We do not wonder that strong;, language is used in denouncing the in iquitous transaction,,andwe are glad to see that some of those whooall themselves Conservative,; in this; neighborhood; are. ashamed of it anddenounce it.

We are. in a position to assert that the volume of general business transacted here, since the lst of January last; is greatly in excess..of that of any other place—West of: Stratford, or north of London, and our, assertion is supported by tire trafii:i .returns-,of the - railways, which here he-railways,whichhere show alar ,e, in and also by the evidence furnishedby the books of our business mer.
