CO*SMSVATIVE 'TACTICS.
While the tory press, from the Leader
downwards, was sounding the •'Vo- party"
ery a few weeks ago, a wu noeorioua
that in every oovetiturncy of Ontario the
the organisers of the party w.:re remmng-
tog through the dust and lumber of put
electioneering materiel for their strongest
men. They wiehed to lull reformers to
step in order that they might, by quietly
working io the dark, aeoure a majority in
the House which are in future to govcrt
the a otry. '\'hey were deeply i° love
with a ooalittoe ministry which they
thought could be worked advuu.ageously
after the work of Confederation bad been
accomplished, in so fur aa the old admin-
tstratioe could effect anything beyond
the completion of a few necewry details.
Great was the worti6catien felt in the ue-
pesite amp when it waa asoertained b -
yond peradventure that the liberals o! the
country were deterwiued w meet thew at
every point, imprea.ed with the belief that
u the Reform party had been the direct
means of securing the greet representative
reform involved in the Confederating
scheme, after years of determined effort,
they wen the best fitted to assume the
responsibility of working it out. Then
came a ery of alarm from the opposite
racks. " The Uuioa is in danger,"
" Will Confederation be carried out,"
n Annexation," and claptrap of that sort,
ad iwueeamn. How absurd is the idea
that reformers could have adopted any
other course than that which they ars
*ow pursuing. Were they to be bond -
winked into inaction while their opponents
rushed pell•mell iuw the arena ? Cer-
tainly not, eke they would have been ex
posed to the charge of pulitical poltroon-
ery which would have ruog 10 their ars
just u soon 88 the conservatives had gaio
ed their point.
Take our own County for exam
pl.. Messrs. Carling and Ritchie, the
nominees of a coneerrauve eonventioo,
would make it appear that they have
buried forever the hatchet of party war-
fare, and intend, if elected, (0 support
meoasures, not men. When they appear
in •strong reform section of the eoutrtry
tthey try oo the humbugging story of no
party linea, bo rrat political questions
king before the country, no raano why
old d stinctiooe should not be wiped out
and all and sundry join in securing their
return. Do they think people are blind
enough to be led away by sash shallow
nonsense? What is Mr. Ritchie, politi-
cally, but a high strung wry of the old-
est of old scheels ? W hat is Mr. Carlin g
but a rigid cooeervative ? Who brought
them iuw the field, but the stiff 000,er-
wetive lawyer; or Goderich ? Who ■re
their right-hand men except each series
u Dr. Woods, Wellington Connor, B. V.
Elliott, and Co. ? An 1 if they are re.
turned, will the fact not be heralded to
the world u a grat conservative victory
-will they not be found iur•riably cast-
ing their votes and in6uenoe with those
wbo have persistently denied justice to
ifpper Canada, and who, had• they not
been forced to it, would have refused to
grant us the increased repreeentatton
that we are to enjoy in future 7 We
call open reformers throughout the non-
stitueney to beware how they allow them-
selves to be deluded into the belief that
they are ,verfeetly safe in voting for men
who io the end would laugh at them for
their folly. The resulta of the contest
thus far ere most satisfactory. Neither
the specious milk -and -water promise of
Mase. Carling and Ritchie, nor the
sneaking abuaivenem or gross fabrications
of their organ -grinders, min influence the
adherents of the party of liberalism and
progrcra to swerve for a moment from
the path of duty 1 They know thin, and
in their rage they search io all directions
for mon elective weapons of deface', but

to have excited the hatred of the lawless

THE UNION IN DJ&WGZ&.
Prom the utuhe of &relay Iasi,
We very much regret to observe the ex
tresue coarse being pursued by n lop pur-
tieeofthe Aati.Uuioeistaof Nova Scoua.
Ther not only denounce the Imperial Act of
1 Union, but declare their determivation w
1 Heist iia operation by every menu in their
power. and to euutiuue their agitation until
the me'etre ie repealed, It is deeply to be
deplored lbat men who had earned the ad
miratiou of the people of British America by
long Jean of able and patriotic public ser
vita, should allow the paining divapotut•
agent of the hour to betray them into tin un-
seemly attitude they uu. hall, Confedera-
tion is • settled matter ; and it hu been set
tled, sot only with the aWul cf an enorm
ous majority of the people to be affected by
it, but with the hearty approval of our fellow
subjects throaghtont the British Empires.
Why, then, should the Nova Seething- were
they ergo unanimous against the measure,
which they are very far from being -resat
Ngoier, it"acefatly into operation 7 Why
aol gin the new Coastitutiou • fair trial 7
if the evil results they now predict should
tell to be seised, 'bey will be able w rejoice
that their anticipatiuus were unfounded ; and
,should their predictions unhappily come 10
perm, the ean will even thea n at be beyond
remedy. We trust that better eouuds may
yet prevail ; and, that while retaining their
opinion on the abstract question of Union,
the dissentients of Nora Sancta will gee it
their duty, as well as their tuterest, w join
heartily with their feller colonists iu endeu-
ounog to place the new poll ocel machine
wtafaetorily an operation.
In Lower Canada and New Bruuwick. it is
very obriou that the vast majority of thuew
who were formerly unlsrourab'e to Cuoted-
ention, have either modt6d tbeir opinions
