Organ says, that" it is just made public
that the last person in communication with
Sir John Franklin, was Capt. Martin, of
the British Whaler Enterprise. It was
it 1$45. The Enterprise was alongside
the l:rebus w Melville Bay, and Sir•Jobo
invited Capt. Martin to dine with him,
which the latter declined doing as the
wind was fairer to go South. Sir John,
while converting with l'apt. Martin, told
him that he had five years provisions, which
he could make last seven, and his people
were busily engaged in salting down birds,
of which they had several cedes full alrea-
dy, and twelve men were out shooting
more. This renders it highly probable
that Sir Joho and his companions are still
alive, cruising iu that mysterious sea which
covers the Pole. 'What a naratiet will

this important duty will be assigned to the

The Patent office which is becoming an
impor'ant item of public business, is also
we believe to be attached to tbe new De-
partment. There is no lack of work --
Mr. Cameron, it he accepts this post, will
hare bis hands full, and we hope for the
sake of the public interests as well as for
the sake of the public interests as well as
for the sake of the great Reform party
which be has served so well, that he will
not refuse.

Sir,—That the Press is a powerful en-
giee either for good or evil in any cr amu-
tity according as it falls into the hands of
men of probity, boxer mid independent
-character, or tufo those of the bigoted
secteriau reckless poldicarpartizaa, er uu
scrupulous caterer for party purposes;
maxim that will be admitted by all. It
may be used to foster and cherish all the
foetidly and social interests of the inhabi-
tants ; or, it raay be made the means of
sowing the seeds of discord and strife, Not
nely thronghont the len;th and breadth of
the settlem^nt, but into the very hearts of
families, insidiously stirring up the father
against the son, the child against the pa-
rent.
Who is there, That having read the re-
marks on the late election in St. Patricks
ward, in the last Loyalist, and knowing
anything of the facts of the case, did mot
feel bis blood boil with indignation at the
base perversion of tr•lth contained in.them r
Who. is there, that has known Mr. Henry
Horton Sen. for the last l'Oyeare, and is
not aware that so far from putting himself
forward as a public man. it was generally
with difficulty that be could be got to gin
a rote on any occasion, much.l es to offer
himself as candidate for the public suffrage
N'bo in Goderich, does not know. that so
far from Mr. Ilorace Horton being
brought forward to oppose his father in
the ward, he was a candidate at the
precious election, and only lost his return
by one cote ; and, that the moment a new
writ was issued, he declared hi. intention
of standing again ! WI o knows the influ-
ence by which his father was brought for-
ward out of his own ward, to oepose him T
and, who does not know that it it was only
after several caucus meetings, and after
the chance of several others were canvass-
ed;carefully considered, and found wanting,
that Mr. Horton was at last brought for-
ward in the hope that his son possessed,
and would slew that delicacy of feelimg,
which they, his own political ft Wade them-
selves, were void of, by withdrawing from
the contest. Mr. Horace Ifortoe was
however, too far pledged to his fr'ierds to
do so, whatever Ile may have felt in being
opposed by his father thus wantonly brought
against bin
I would also call attention to the low
and seurrilious attack on Mr. I'arsoas, co-
tained in -the Loyalist's report of the Cor-
poration Meeting on the 19th ult. Mr.
Parson's public and private character re-
quires no vindication from me ; but I would
predict that any Journal that pertinaceous-
ly indulges in the perversion of truth,
and facts, and wanton attacks on prnate
individuals, Will soon reap its reward in a
scanty subscription list.

In November last, application was made
to the Post master general, as to the ne-
cessity of baying this mail route establish-
ed and throsgh Mr. Wm. Casey, the P.
M. at Bells Cornea, the matter wad in-
telligently explained to Mr. Morris. Aad
by the representations of Mr. Cawley, Mr.
Drive, the r. O. Surveyor for C. W. lies
visited tbe part of Country the intended
mete is wished to be in. in the meantime
the Woodstock inhabitants have visited
Stratford with a Petition for TMs same
mail route, but to Bells Cowers only, from
Woodstock. it may be surmised that al-
though the residents in Stratford have miss-
ed this new Petition to Mr. Morris, au -
10011 as they are for every aid to Comsmnt:-
catinns, yet there may be some worldly or
opposing reason for said sew Petition, to
defeat, perhaps the laudable endeavors
of Mr. Camey es bis friends at Bags Cor-
set. At any rat* Maths Mail reale go
