MUNICIPAL COUNCILS.
Teas is sot, in the whole catalogue of our
lestitutio.., see which layettes mere (au-
ral talented., or witch is more worthy of
public co**ideretion and attention, thea the
Municipal Council. It is an experiment in
the eteeee of civil Goverane.t, no truly
liberal that the Spirit of the Age is proud
to •ckoowledge it. It is 1►e principle of
'elf t applied to lbs reel practic-
al business of .00i.ty—ibd the repot ex-
tessios of the principle, costarred by Mr.
B.Idwie's Mentcipal Corporations -Act bas
gins, to the people of Upper Canada, &
power is the maangemeat of their own af-
fair.
Lfain which has certainly never before bee.
a°seeded to a ceestry existing uoder a Mo -
e arthiest form of Government. In fast, the
Municipal Cooncll, as at present cooetite-
ted, exerts such • wholesale control over
tbe local affairs of ills own Township, that
it. conduct . of more immediate loteteat to
the nbabitasts them the conduct of the
Proviscial Legislature. Each Township
bee its own little Parliament, which imp..
e s, Ivies, .sd expends an amount of direst
texts mach larger thaw the amount which
the Township contribute to the Provincial
revenue. These taxes are expended within
its owe limits, under the immediate ahem -
mites, and subject to the immediate control
of the people who pay them. lo this par-
tieela►, at least, we possess sell -govern -
meet to the fullest extent. The whole
lax-payere elect their Coencillore—they
elect them annually, leo that should they
be at may time,uafort.sale enough to oboew
imprudent or anworthy mss, they have the
power of removing them at the owl of the
year. If our focal hula**. is not properly
managed under such a system, we have our.
w ives to blame—for, it is obvious, that the
people only require to pay particular atten-
tion to the proceedings of their Councillor,
respectively. in order to obtain just such
managemeat of their local affairs as they
please to suggest. 1f cur taxer are heavy,
the fault will be oar own, and if we have
bad road., and no !mprovemest., we must
blame ourselves, The amount of taxee—
ihe manor in which they are expended—
the quality of our roads, and the quantity of
our local Improvements, will depend alma%
entirely upoo the character of the men who
compo.. our Muoieipal Council., and, tee,
(the people) have the chso.iwg of (hese men.
it would, perhaps, be desirable that the
local .(fain ofa Town or Township should
be soducted as much as possible apart from
political palling or party spirit—and that
men should be chosen Councillors for their
intelligence, integrity ed good bu.inees ha-
bits, irrespective of their political creed.—
Last year we recomm.ded this principle to
the coosideratioa of the people of Goderich,
and we say now, that the adoption of
o uch a principle of harmony, is perhaps de-
sirable. Many good %biog., however, are
desirable that are not, under existing cir-
cumataoeea, o114oiwahfe, and ibis i, ow of
them. There is u legis talking noses..
—political (..ling in 'till high in Canada,
and this political feeling will exhibit 'twit
is the election of Municipal Councillor. --
win, is feet, characterise our whole Muni-
cipal , to an extent equal to, or
perhaps greater, than ie exhibited in the e-
lection of a Member ef Parliament—or in
the Parliemeetary proceeding.: The initeb•
itante of Goderich have had practical proof
of this during the preset year. They can-
nel easily forget the meaner in which ran-
corous political feeing attempted, again
and again, to embattles and confuse the
bun.ees of the Municipality, and even to
sacrifice the honor and the beet istereete of
the Town for the promotion of paltry party
purposes. We say the people of Goderich
cannot easily forget t►... (set,—ad there-
fore, we have no 'election of advising them
to lay aside political feeling in their Muni-
cipal elections. On the contrary, we would
say to the Reformer, of Upper Canada gen-
erally,—take • deep interest in the eleetios
of your Masicipal Councils. They will ex-
e mi.. • very great io6ao5ee, rot only on
year local prosperity, but on your politica!
coalition. They will in fest, either advance
or retard the gonoral progress of the coun-
try to a greater exleat thee the action of
the Provincial Legislature, and hence the
election of Councillors should be regarded

THE COUNTY COUNCIL
IPI ear last we favored ear readers with •
few remarks ea the late Situate .ribs
County Ceased. O.r might,
perhaps, be considered rather .assns—Ms
they bad a worm fault --they were scarcely
free. We estimated the soot at fifty -ria
paired', sad we have 'Wee l.erasd that the
actual soot was abet L63 0 0 New, we
suppose our readers are well aware that we
have no faith in men serving the pebble for
nothing. We have always sdv.cated the
prineipls of every man being paid • fair re-
muneration for his almoee—we sdwe.sI.
the ..me prioeiple still., But believing, M
we do, that the Muaietpel Connell of Cas -
•da aro intended as liberal laltitstioas,
through wbieh the peeps are to have fill
control of their own local affair, it appears
to u, that if these t..utsttees are dimeoee-
ed to be a more expositive mode of mange -
meat than the forerer'yews, thea they are
not • bew6t, but an evil. We do set,
however, believe that thin is sayt►iag is
the eonstituties of Massa* Ceane.ls, nor
in the Statute regulattag then powers aid
practice, that nece.ssrily node, them ex-
pensive. On the eostrary, we thick the
Statute affords every f .11.17 for ee.aofoix-
iag the fends of the Monicipslity—.ad If
there is extravagasee, the Councillors -aloes
are blamable. The priciest Members of
oar County Council fixed their wages et
leo skilliags per day, sad although that is
perhaps no mon than • fair rem.oe.atiou
for the ..rtiees Of thew Ceaseillore who
wane the bestows—those few iadivid.•s
who do the whets work, yet i1 mut he re-
membered that thew aro but few—that the
majority of the Reeves do almost sotbisg
—that many of them aro net worth five
shillings per day, any place, or at i57 em•
ployment, ad that they regard the meeting.
of Cooped a • God -tend, merely oa se -
count of the len shillings a day, sed would
wish that the Sittings might be prolonged
continually. We, therefore, thick it is an
error to fix the wages at a sum that makes
the officio desirable for its emolument, even
to ordinary working moo; for there will •1 -
ways nee saarily be a somber of Couacil-
lure elected to whom ten shilling* a day will
be an inducement- Bat, farther, the pres-
ent rate of the Councillor's wager, is, per-
haps, more objectionable on account of ite
injustice, than os •,count of its extrava-
gance. For instance, Mr. Helmer, from
South Ea.tbope, must have been at least
twelve days &been* from his hone ea ac-
count of the late Sittings of Cou.eil. He
moat hare traveled about ons hundred ad
ten miles in coming to Cod.rie\ tad roats-
ing, and yet Mr. Helmer would receive.e-
ly seven days pay, while %bow Councillors
within • few miles of Town would just re-
ceive the same, and ban spout Eve days dew
time in earning it. 1s sherd, Mr. He11.er,
and some others from the County of Perth,
would not, after peyisg their stage fare,
have oss dollar for each day they wore ali-
ment from borne. To remedy this injne,
tics, it would be better to fix the wages at
five .btlGogs per day, for Gosh day spout in
Commit, ed allow live shillings for every
sweaty miles travel. By this arranges Bray
the prineiphle.f judo. would be more felly
recegaised—the Co..cillore who travel

fully remunerated for their Lae .f time, as

Tme is a beautiful poetical figure, sad, it
is se/ more poetical thee true. On the far
verge of the political bodges, we can al-
ready dissever a dim sp.. Lk' a man's band
as a certain iadicatioa ofa coming election!
Our sluron readers are aware that "Oar
Member," the Hoo. Willem Coyly, once
upon • time,. gsserouely promised twenty
pse.ds taper es his subscription 10 the Hu-
me Dr.Miet Agricultural Society ! We
dare .y, they are further aware, that at
the general election of 1847-48, "Our
Member" ie the growing plentitude of hie
hberaltty, also .premised frenty pounds to
be given throng\ the Agricultural Society

1811 ! it weeW perhaps, be both uechari-

Mr. Gilley in making thew liberal promi.

pure, di.ialerest.d patriotism sod gesero.i-
ty, sad, we so;poni@ our readers understand
the whale affair. Early ie the 8prisg of
1848, however, eiressestaness occurred
whish, to say the (east, rendered it alto-
gether impends( fur. Mr. Cayley to give
twenty peu.le as a premium for the beat
Orchard. The Orchard of the inspector

session of Mr. Cay,*) into the hands of the
Hoe. Francis Ilioeke-coosequeotly %berg

Heron er elsewhere—no fruit worthy of •

" Our Member " had based bis premien*

sesabl to suppose that the promisee would

A very eoenderable amount of fuss, foam

It was supposed that the Ministry would be

that his liberality wag still growing. and
that instead of giving twenty pounds for
the beet Orchard of 1846, he had thought it
best to leer..se the arm to thirty p00mds,
