But the •climax Of shamelessness was;
reached in the case of the PIurons. Will
it be credited that theseridings were- re

the .second deal would'' prose, ineffectual
to accomplish its- obJect. Hence, .with -a;

The very rapid strides that Clinton.has
made during the past year have - been a
in
matter of surprise to people residing here,.
and who have been accustoured, only to
slow and steady development, and al-..
though this subject has been referred to•
a number of times before, we refer to it
again as we wish particularly to• impress
upon our townspeople one point, andthat
is, that to a certain extent they now
have- in their own hands,-the—permanent
making of it as the most important and
influential -town in this section. 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.
In order, therefore, to elerrv.e alt the lie=`
nefits which the advancec'lposstrou t1e
,of
town entitles it to, our" business -• men
should lose no opportunity of keeping
themselves and the place iii whieh they'.
reside, prominently and continuously be
fore the public.
The town is now known far and wide
as one of the most prosperous in'the west,,
embracing all the advantages that could.
be desired both as a place of •residence and
for business, and our business.. men, , who
are fully alive to the advantages they
possess, should make (hat use of them:
which will permanently-establisli_Clrntoii:_
as the centre of trade for this entire see -
tion pf

more so than inthe building up of the
varied interests of a place as important as

.I'-lere is an extract :froth Mr: Porter's
"Address to the electors" in ]87S.:.1'Ve
ack'our readers what they think': of it, `es
compared with the 'results :—
"There is an item - to' be con.sidereil
that is not in the trade returns, but you:
can supply it .from ineniory. L?oiy many
sons and brothers have leftyear, homes,
how many neighbors and acquaintances
have left your, riding to'' find employment
in the ilnitecl States."
And in his platform tittercnces 11.1 Per_
ter conveyed the -impression that this state
of things woulcl be remedied ander the
present government. What are the real.
facts of the -ease. ' Why, that for the year
ending 30th June, 1880, the United States
authorities claire that the immense num-
bet of 91),4411 Canadians entered that coun-
try, by way of Port Huron alone, as actual.
settlers. These are official figures, and
cannot he successfully refuted. Let any
of our doubting readers ask any of the
officials of Goderich township,_ where the,.
most of those who left that township have
gone to, and sec if the answer is not " To
Dakota." '
A gentleman who has been a resident
of Ivlanitob'r ^for'nine years, said in our
