THE CAPITAL AND THE COUNTRY.
Deny one were to form an estimate of
the country from the tone, and temper of
the tory press of Montreal and Toronto,
he would enevitably come to the conclusion
that the country is on the verge of being
plunged into a state of worse than prime -
eel t.arbertam. But thre estimate formed
from false and partial, data, would be alto-
gether erroneous. Out of the cities, where
demisted journalism and street rioters act
in ferocious concert, there is not only a
perfect freedom from excitement but every
honest ream of every part, condemns in un-
equivocal Iasguage the outrages of which
Montreal bee been the seine, and thetdorts
of tis tory peen to perpetuate and extend
them to other parts of the country in the
reset of tend Elgin tusking a visit to Upper
Cruel*. We tare taken some pains to

dtstncts of Upper Canada, and we can with

Is the teed act of Al this tnm;.no violence ?—
The priexts of its shot tore and the -objects
attribute•I to this pol.cy of violence by its
opp sir; or.. equally numerous. The lo -
g•1 pesec,•c of a measure by a popular Le-
gi. glair, b•kally assented to by a coesthu-
uetlal Goveruur, was the pretext for the
first outrage. The others followed in their
train. The objects of the parties who have
systematized violence into a policy, have
changed.wilh their changing prospects and
the disappointment of their hopes. At first
they sought to work on the fears and party
spirit of the British Legislature. ,Fouled
in this. one of their principal objects now
is to Jregu.t the Guvernur and drive him
frim the Province. •All the threats and
menaces of the Tory journal that violence
will be offered to Lord Elguo, if he 'tails
Upper Canada, are intended to prevent itis
Excellency visiting this part of the Pro-
vince. The rioting in Montreal can have
no other object than to overcome the cue-
stituuunal authorities. Several arrests
have been made, end the parties will be put
to trial fur one of the worst crimes known to
our lamas. The Montreal Gazette calls the
Government mad fur thus endeavouring to
vindicate the laws nod punisb criminale.—
It affects to regard as "utterly ridiculous,"
the depositions on which its editor and their
accomplices were arrested. We have seen
these depositions and we think they furnish
ground for • different opinion from that ut-
tered by the Gazette. it is very easy to
understand why men with visions of Befitte-
d!' or the Provincial Penitentiary before
them, should, haring oncetested their puw-
ers at exciting the populace, endeavour to
avert their fate by attempting to overawe
the authorities or tee'mcite their dupes to
risk a collision in which the very improba-
ble success of the insurgents would at least
release all state prisoners and save them
ills inconvenience of a trial and the pose-
bili'y of a merited punishment. Besides, if
the violent Tory journals of Montreal coofd
so influence the pubiie mind on the *object
of these trials as to assure the acquittal of
all the prisoner.. their object would be
gained. The Montreal Gazette calls the
prisoners"gentlemen" and say they "permit-
ted" themselves to be ed.
%Vit hope however that all these attempts
to stir up violence and to beget a spirit of
lawlessness and defiance of authority will
be rendered nugatory and harmless by the
firmness of the administration in diecharging
its solemn dirty of vindicating the majesty
of the live. ani punishing its violators.
It has become fashionable in some quar-
ters to attribute to those who have adopted
• policy of violence. a desire un effect an-'
nexation through this instrumentality.— a
We do n•,t believe that they entertain any
Lich project, or for a mr meat wish to bring I p
about such a result. Whatever might be
their objects, were they even legitimate
and praiseworthy, the mean■ they hire
adopted would ruin any cause. The rio-
ters and *bottom of outrage ars regarded
throughout the country -by all parties as
little better than banditti whom ail prudent
people should avoid. A. a party these ex -
comma are every day sinking them deeper
in ptiblac estimation. As they cannot en-
list the sympathies of the country, they will
effect nothing by street riots ; which they
will not bad • very good means of compass-
ing either a revolution or a change of ad

MONTREAL RIOTERS AND THE

RECEPTION OF LORD ELGiN.

it is difficult to perceive,) would prevent
Lord Elgin from visiting Upper Canada, her
Majesty eheQ,teen has been received by
he ahueed Irish, with a warmth of heart

TIIE MONTREAL RIOTS. b
a
There bays been no further disturbances a
in Montreal since our last—the Gazette, t
Courier, and Herald, having dropped, for t
the moment, the incendiary tone in which w
they are wont to excite the 'mob to deeds of
riot and arson. Several hundred citizens of
both political parties have been sworn In as
special constables, and no fear is entt ream-
ed of further disturbances occurring at
present.
it is amusing to notice the shifts end ma•
noivretng of the three Tory organs to make
it appear lhst the Government were unable
to stop the riots, but that the Tory leaders
•ccnmpli•hed it without difficulty, mei that
teatimes is dna the credit of the re.toratuon
o1 peace. The Pilot, on the other hand,
!shots to phew that the proposal for the
Municipal authorities to take the preserva-
tion of the peace of the city into their own
hands tame voluntarily from the Govern-
ment, and that after the Mayor declared his
inability to p 0, he was pressed to
make the attempt be the Executive. The
whole thing is exceedingly finiiy and inter-
mttng. Both parties seem to have been
perfectly aware that the disturbances could
be stopped at any moment—and so little real
a:arm appears to have existed. that the fear
of the future proceedings of the mob seems
to fumbles smoothie, in comparison with
the firer, that by Goole diplomaGe blunder the
erode of petting down the mob would be
awarded In the other. The Government
certainly &sierra eredit /or the hum.ntty
they have shown, ant we cannot help think
tag that the reeeptioe the mob got at Mr.
L•Fontaine's bones was {tit real alarm, and
that had the rioters bee, stat to the same
way at ether plate•, the Whet would have
hose mut salutary.
For .ser parr, however, we Inc quite pre-
pared In admit that the Tories have pot
dente the d.'erbaneee in Mostreel, by the
hers expremi ,n of w.b that they should
learn to be ea loyal and honest as i'addy ?
When shall we fearer to draw • distinction
between the representative of the Sovereign
we love, and the mini.try whose policy we
do not love? 1itile Irish liberal party wan
ted to insult their Sovereign, surely
Sleep
might have found ample excuses in the pre-
sent and past history of their cuenlry,...
Where •re their red leaders 1 Where is
Smith O'Brien—where Mitchell—where the
rest of that rash band whose misfortunes
have made them dear to the•people? Surely
Ireland has suffered enough to excuse seine
want of zeal in ber population. But was
there any? Did they say to her Msj•ety,
as some who think very lightly of Paddy
say to Lord Elgin,—" Madam, you shall not
come here, or if you do, we will not receive
you ; you have insulted us by coercion B.it,
—by maintaining a State Church In the
midst of us—by utsoghtenng many of our
enuntrynabn and be*ishing others --your

Oh no ; there was nothing of tais kind in
Ireland. In a coantr which, of all other

For eaKhteen months be has remained In

and he now retires on the leans of his ori•

every poluteal point with his colleagues,
who will still receive his wow support in

We cnnnet conceal our regret at Mr.

year he has never flinched from the go.J
cause of Reform fur • moment—he has free-
ly spent his time and money for the nese

giiestton—the unyielding foe of Church-

It is not unusual at ,present, with a cm
lain class of person., lis denounce the po
weans now Io power as merely markt

not suffer peculiarly by holding office; and
the reeagnailon of Mr; Price ia, a practical
proof of the small inducement ie that way
which the highest offloes of State present
to a business man of lumtted means. We
have• reason to believe, moreover, that Mr.
Price might have retired, as so many of his
predeces.ors io the late Tory g vernment
did, w;tb a -permanent office, but..`.o declin-
ed being "shelved."
There is on man in the Reform ranks who
holds more thoroughly than Mr. Price the
confidence of his party; he is regarded as
every inch a Liberal—iii feeling as well as
be conviction. His place in the Adminis-
tration will not be eae:1y filled, there being

ing failure. The Inspector General is sUc-

Buts new discovery is made, that money
can be procured In London at 24 per cent.
while Mr. iltocks pays 6 per cent. fo
his loan. The old Tory calculation, aha
the people, knowing On better, can easily
be imposed on, is practised to perfection.—
First clam Bills at 30 days, dao now be
done in London at 24 per cent. But the
Canadian loan nuns over a period of twenty-
one years. The interest o1 money even in
London, was for short dates, within the
last two tears, 6 and 7 per cent. Canals
cannot expect to borrow below 6 per cent.
The American State Governments mostly
pay 6 per cent., and we do not -believe that
then are any below Veer cent. 1t ia

Yesterday, when the 9.d battalion of the
151h regiment of infantry arrived, the pito•
pie gatbered io 'rest numbers and pelted
them with atones. Another party tried to
shut the gates by which they were entering
against thein. The soldiers used then arms
against the people, and a serious conflict
took place. The loss of the military- was
truing, but tbat of the populace very eoa-
siderab'•. 10 soldiers wen carried to the
hospital -30 or 40 people were wounded.
During the night some of the National
Geoids united with the mulWeds, and erec-
ted barricades clow to the Riding School,
where the Prussians were gtarterd. At
:he barricades fresh conflicts owed. To-
wards morrneg, the harmed's were earned,
and a little later every thing was quiet.
