PoLITIC1L •NOTE!s. —It is said the Conservatives of South Huron intend running Mr: G-. E. Cresswell: —The 1uke`ainnsss of ManY Ref ormers . in 1878,which resulted in the loss `of Seve- ral, constituencies, will not characterize the election of 1882. ' —In the present contest the Reformers: g are fighting "For the rights :of,the people:') The Government are fighting "For self, and self alone"., Electors:.of Huron,' which will yoit support.? Farrow has again received the''. nomination of the Conservatives of East Huron, and there is every season- to be- lieve that he will be elected' by a good` majority—to stay et home.'' —We recently heard au 1..P. roan loudly declaim the unjust measures Sir John has taken to secure Conservative seats he expressed himself as disgusted' with the gerrymanderingof Huron. We doubt not that there are hundreds'in On tario who think like him; if they had but the courage to speak their>minds freely. —There are numbers of'Conservatives.- hereabouts onservati es•'iereabouts so disgusted with 'the gerry- pandering bill, the robbery of -O'ntario's erritory, interference with . provincial rights, &c., that they avow their determi= nation not to vote on the 20th inst. `How well they keep their words will be .seen after the elections. —There are good grounds for believing that the the three Hurons will ;fall : into line on the 20th inst., by each:returning. a Reform candidate., Mr. Cameron, in the \Vest, . and Dr: Sloan, in, the East, are meeting with every encouragement and if Reformers only do their duty,, these gentlemen will be returned by .good :ma unties. —At the Reform Lonventiou in South. nrfolk ,-11ir--.T r -E11' -P r f b t- J'sver, an extensivewoollen inanufao truer, (formerly editor of the WVingham Times) who Was One of the nominees, in his address to the. convention deolrni ig. t: e honor, etc., stated that he belonged to% a Mass that is said to bebenefitted by the N.

He is one o tie most intelligent as well as one of the best informed agriculturists in the. province, and we .have not the slightest do'• lit but that he will take an active and conal part in the.

Objection. to him is raised by his opponents, on account of his supposed unorthodox views, but notwith- ding that he at one bine had doubts of vie divine authenticity of Christianity; we have reason to believe -that his- views: have been materially modified of late years This we know, at any rate„ that he does nos obtrude anything unorthodox pn, any one ;r in any community; and that he is of unquestioned yeracity and integrity.,-,-- We nte rit .---We wish thettsiinds avers as good as lee, r.. ,1Y. TILE QUESTIONS AT STAKE. North Huron Teachers' Association: As the day of election approaches every voter should strive to realizemore folly the importance of being prepared to give an intelligent and honest vote on that occa- sion, one that he cane hold by the strong sic P for the s" and arguments—is logic of -fact, beat interests ,of the country—and will not of in years to come, for never b• e ashamed on any previous , occ'asions was greater issues at stake or so much depended upon thecourse pursued by those -who possessed the franchise. That this -is the ,case may be learned by the utterances and conduct of men : who !leave for many, years held • high positions and taken a deep interest in the political' affairs, of the country; and the questions that are- now so seriously affecting its welfare. The following para-, graph, from the Hon. Win. McDougall,: ,sets -part -of -the gTlestions that: are now before the public for decision Sin a clear and honest svay, and it is difficult to -ima- gine that there is any one in Ontario so void of wisdom and patriotism as to take -an-opposite view to Mr, McDougall. When:I ran in Halton in 1878;'1 carried the election by the support of members of both political parties. I did not run as a partisan, but as "a supporter of the par- ticular fiscal policy then : in. issue. I bo= lieve that the formation of the Government and the policy of the Government have tendedto•detach from their support those politicia' s of the liberal school who joined in 18i�7 ,-and I did not feel that I couldo g back to that constituency and: carry it, be- cause °.I could not ask the support of the moderate Reformers of the country to the. policy which the Government has now au nounced' on other matters—I. mean in re- gard to the Boundary Award and the rail= way and land gnestions. I do not believe that the'Governruent has dealt with the boundary question as it should have -been dealt with. Theyshould have settled it. in the first session of this Parliament, and it could havebeen settled then... I am also opposed to certain features of the policy of the Government relating to rail- road construction in the North-West. -1 aim opposed to' their land..peltfcy because I donot <believe in locking up Large tracts of land in the hands of : companies'"for • the purpose.' of • mere. 'speculation. Public lands should be, held for the benefit of the settler,' who.should beiable,to secure lands at the lowest' price and not made to -pay` the enhanced price which speculators may put upon it. I fought. the Canada Com- pany Upon this ground,_and:when Crown Land Commissioner endeavored'te reduce the price of lands to the actual settler. I am .opposed fo-tlie creition'orlarge estates, believing: that such a.policy would be in- jurioua.tol the country and retard settle- ment. My views on these questions pre-' vented my again offering myself as a can- didate in the Conservativeinterest in the county of Halton." In North Perth, where the townships have been so crit up:andarranged as to give the ministerial candidate an almost certainty of election, Mr. Monteith, an old .time Conservative, has -:come out againstthe government on nearly all the same questions, and asks the support of the people on. -the sole ground of patriot- ism, believing, as he says, that if the. government is' sustained nothing; but• ruin and. deo'radation -for Ontario may be look- ed for. In Manitoba, the country which minis- terialists assert ought to be the most grate- ful to the. powers 'that for, the. favors and benefits bestowed upon it;: the people are merenniversally.opposed to the govern- ment policy than those in any: other pro - vince in fact not "a solitary candidate can be foundthat will adopt as hisplatform' every plank in•. the government's pro gramme, knowing as they do that, they would have no chance of election if they: dud The principal questions placed •before' the people for decision are, the boundary of Ontario—shall it be` the • one unanim- ously given to 'it by three fairly .chosen and 'qualified arbitrators, or the one :de- cided upon by the French of Quebec for selfish andYPP art purposes? . ThePacificP :.Railway, Syndicate, one of the most gi- gantic frauds , that was ever' impoaed upon a country, every which one 'ac- knowledges, no matter what his previous politcal%views were, so soon as they leave personal experience in connection with it.. But. a few days ago an, :old Conservative . said that "he, was a Conservative in 'On- tario, bat a Reformer in Manitoba," mean- ing that the .experience he had passed through' in connection with the Syndicate and land regulations: had shaken his faith in, the present government. The disallowance of, the streams bill is another very importantquestion; as it not only interferes with the management of our local „affairs, but it would material- ly lessen the value of our timber lands, by makingit possible for one man to mo- nopolize large areas of territory:te the,eti elusion of every--one---else.. There is no one but admits the gerrymandering of the ridings was for the purpose of preventing the election of as many Reformers as pos- sible, therefore can any honestan en- • dorse this kind of packing the jury to gain a verdict ? -The amount of territory which, the Government intends, if possible, to -steal from Ontario', is 97,000 square miles or 62,000,000• acres. Every vote cast for the, government candidate means that the voter is willing Ontario shall be robbed of this`amountlof territory. Evervote for"a Reform candidate means that ,she Shall not be so robbed. Electors, show yourselves to be men of honor, men of independence, igen whose patriotism will rise above their party le niegs,"men, not willing •that Ontrrio shall go under• 'inply because the leader of a corrupt g er .' rnent:di •t shall . dictates that i sh, be nt _ so. The regular semi-annual meeting of the North Huron Teachers' Association was held in the Central School, -Brussels, on Thursday and Friday, May 25th and 26th. Mr. John Shaw was appointed chairman of the meeting in the absence of the Presi- dent. Mr. Black was s appointed Secretary pro. tem. Mr. Robt Sperling read an interesting essay on " self culture of teachere."' Mr, Sparling dwelt at length on the importance of: cultivating the:; perceptive faculties, memory, &c., and urged upon teachers the necessity of keeping themselves well post- ed -in standard literature and to -avoid all which tends to deprave n s epra a the morals., Mr.Robertson, representative of Messrs. Gage & Co.; addressed the Meeting on the subject of Reading' Books. Ile exhibited a --new aeries` of Readers by Gage -Se Co.; which he highly commended.. Messrs. Dewar, Duff, Henderson,,:, bac- Kay and Shaw were appointed a committee to -report on -readers. Mr. Henderson read an interestingessay on. " Bow to cultivate literary taste in schools." . He first pointed out the, diffi- eulties to be contended with in teaching literature --want of time, want of sympathy and co-operation .of parents, and condcinn- ed the practice of giving formal definitions and marking words. He would begin to teach literature in the first class ; -would get,pupils to understand and explain phrases and ,passages- rather than 'single. words would get his pupils to memorize from the first, selecting literary genie from •standard authors, and would keep: them well posted .on the current events of the • day. • This last suggestion called forth an interesting discusaion. Mr. Robertson, of Toronto, illustrated his .method .of teaching the tonic sot fa sys- tem of music. Ho contraated in pleasing manner this system with that now. lin user and claimed that the new: system `is:far su- perior to the old. .In the evening.,e public entertainment was given the Towu Hall:. Mr. Re ort son, of Tenanto, delivered an interesting lecture on the work and care of teachers, which was well appreciated by the-addi=- ence. Mr. Duff gave, the song of the " Maple Leaf" in good style. Mr.Spar. ling read a-well,prepared essay on:." Self culture 'of Teachers." Mr. Wallace read a passage from Shakespeare, which was well rendered. Miss Reinhart gave a recita- tion -in excellent style. Mr. Stewart gave a reading on the "Easy man," and Messrs: Robertson and Duff each sang a song, after which the entertainment closed .bysinging " God save' tie Queen." • SECOND DAY --FRIDAY.' The report of the,Committee on Readers was adopted. Mr -.W E.- Groves gave a':ahort address on. : -t' Practical..Arithmatic in Scheele," giving dome excellent hints on the subject, which were', highly appreciated by those' present. - Mr. •Robertson, of To'rontoaddressed the teachers on the subject of " Reading." He first pointed out the great importance ofthis: subject, as through it we derive our- knowlege of all the 'sciences. He gave a humorous description of the old method of teaching the alphabet, and illustrated by blackboard illustrations the most approved Methods of teaching reading. He gave many amusing examples of the sing -song, method of reading, and pointed out many of the errors' into which teacher and others fall in teaching and _practising read- ing. . He condemned_simtilatneous read- ing in schools, and showed how an inter eating exercise might be made out of word -building. Mr. Robertson was list- ened`to with rapt attention whiledeliver- ing his address. A vote of thanks was cordially tendered Mr. Robertson for his able and -entertain ing address. es ewa _ Faol and- o ranee _Messrs. D r, Mc _-. D r m _,., and Misses Anderson and Broadfoot were appointed a committee to prepare resolu- tions of regret for the death of Mr. Hart- ley, and -the removal -from -our -county of Mr. A. M. Taylor, both brother teachers. The valedictory of the late Secretary - Treasury, Mr. A. M. Taylor, was read be- fore the Association, after which a vote of thanks• to Mr. Taylor was unanimously' carried. It was resolved that the ;valedic- tory, with the permission of Mr. Taylor, he published. A resolution of condolence to the be- reaved family of the late Mr. Hartley, of McKillop, was read and adopted, and also a resolution expressing the pleasure felt at, the promotion of the late Secretary-Trea= surer, Mr. A: M.,'Taylor, and of the obli- gations under which the Association had. been placed for the faithful performance of his duties. Mr• Dewar, I. Y. S. - addressed • the teachers on theequestion" s the cultivation of moralssufficiently attended to in the• Public Schools?" Ile pointed out the most prevalent faults common among pit'' -,pile in the Public sehols, such as .rude- ness of manner and speech, " copying, prompting, &c., and.ehowed'that ..thein- dulgence of these habits in youth de- praved the morals and destroyed, self.reli ance, which is ; an important; factor ' in forming good moral character. Mr. Dew- ar's remarks were • pointed and forcible. He also;referred to the negligence of some teachers in making out the annual and semi-emit]al, reports. The election of officers: for the ensuing year then took place :—President, Mr. R. Henderson, of Blyth Vice-president, lair Duff, of Roxboro. Secretary -treasurer, Mr. W. E. Groves, of Winglram. Mr. J. Ferguson, delegate to the Provincial•Assb ciation. A motion' was made to change the days of meeting from ,Thursday and Friday, to Friday and Saturday, but it was :lost. _ Dr. McDonald: and Mr.`.. W. T...Bray of Wingham, were appointed auditors for ;the- ensuing year, and the proceedings: brought to a close: • IN The Grits accuse the'great Tory Chieftain haefta>nof Gerrymandering beeau a he cuts to upthe constituencies -suit him 1 n ' himself and his friends for election purposes.— Pray, urposes =Pray,;• who else -would he cut them up to suit 2.
