Arm a lengthened absence from the Coancil board, our 'Iowa Council have upon two occasions lately assembled, and although we cherished the food hope that at least a portion of the arrears of public business would bare been setUed, we were doomed to be most wofully disappointed.— Nluch valuable time has already been teat, and the year is drawing rapidly to a close without any material object having been attained, or any improvement having been effected calculated to advance the interests of our Town. That the delay has arisen exclusively, either from the ignorance. or from the contemptible obstinacy of the Tory Councillors, will not be denied, by any sensible man ia Goderich. Yet, the Loyalist in reporting the Ethan* of the 6th Maoist, states, 'That there cainot be any person in tbe Town so blind an not to discover et a glance, the great contrast be- tween the actions of the two parties the Radicals and Conservatives, through the unfairness attempted by the cue, the pub- lic business of the place has been impeded for nine months, while the opposite party bas done every thing that could be dose to settle matters speedily, that the ioteresteof the Town might not be sacrified for the sake of party power." If the Loyalist intends by the foregoing very equivocal sen- tence to assert, that the Conservatives have done every thing they could, to settle mat- ters speedily for the benefit of the public, and that they did notsacrifice the interests and wisbes of their constituents to the love of party power;—we emphatically deny the truth of the assertion, and are surprised that say person even though imbued with the contemptible subserriesey of the Lomat& , would have had tbe hardihood to make such barefaced statement,. We will ask what have the Conservative Councillors done 1 The only answer is that they have render- ed themselves odious and contemptible in the eyes of every sensible man in the Town. They refused from the very first to meet with the members of the -Council, who were as duly elected as themselves, and although Ira Lewis, Esquire, had been elected Mayor, and coolinuerlleplly to act as such, until e. few days ago, when he -was unseated because the returning officer bad not acted upon a certified copy of tbe Collector's Roll, they refused to aoknow- ledge bim as such or to act with him, in- stead of progessing with the public business until, in the course of law, the isaue should be made known. It is true the Council- lors for St. Patrick's Ward hare, within the last few days been ejected, and Ira Lewis, Eaquire, who was a Councillor for that Ward, is no longer Mayor, but be is succeeded by a man who hanself would have lost his seat from the same cause, had tbe Reform party been equally vindietive, and had they takenlegal steps her that per - pose. The Tory Councillors under the influ- ence of a miserable infatuation refined to meet thew bretheren whom they knew to he in a majority, and acted quite a laugha- ble farce by establishing a "little Pedliag- toa"..el stoic owe, arid endesvosreil to term* -Mid amuse their coestitnents by issuing ploy bills, beaded .1, John Straches, Mayor of Goderich;" and thus left tbe men of geese, the real advocates of order and adraseement, who fortnoately had a majority, to labor alone for the tete- real, of the 'rown, and had it not been for these, the iutelligent Reform Conocalors, the 'rown would bave been ie a much worse condition than it is.

The minutes 01*10 preceediag meeting were read by Mr. Kydd, tbe Town Clerk, who also in- formed tbe Couned that upwards of £500, together with of a penny ia the potted, would be required to be raised thio year ta tbe Town for Couuty and School pur- pose s, iodependlintly of the large amount which would be required for Tows improve- ments and expenses. The 'Fury Councillors appeared to have a great itching to undo if possible what had been already accomplished by the Rime *e- lite members of the board, and the assess- ment roll appeared to tsr particularly trou- blesome to some of tbose gentlemen, who some time ago, haughtily refused when called upon by tbe legally elected Assess - sots, to give in any statement of their pro- perty. Then gentlemen now begin to feel the evil effects of their follyand think no doubt, that they would have acted More sensibly had they permitted their names to have been entered. But Mr. Town Reeve Wallace declared in hi% usually energetic manner, that as the Asseasment 'Roll had been revised, and had already been before the County Couoeil, no alteration could be made in that.
