ooptioo to some of the statements then
mode. The revolt was that Mr Young,
having some time on his bods, again
visited this part of the Province, and
during the pest week held s.seiag. at
Auburn, Benmiller and Carlow. Mr
McGillicuddy of THE SIONAL was invited
to attend, and argue the question with
the rev gentleman. The upshot was the
meeting on Friday at Carlow.
The chair was occupied by Mr Ale
Robertson, one of the prominent am
ton is the section on behalf of Eq
Rights, who called upon Rev Mr Yvon
to open with prayer.
It was then arranged that each ut th
spskere would be allowed an hour, and
that Mr Young, who was to s
first. would have fifteen minutes to r
ply without introducing new matter.
Mr Young, on coming forward, said
on • previous ocoasilo be had visited
this section and spoken en the question
of Equal Rights, and that at • meeting
1.1. in Goderich he had been misreport-
ed by Tsa SIGNAL. It was stated tha
when be was questioned upon certai
etstivtics which he had made use of, b
had stated that his authority was • fly
sheet, and that he understood the rigor
he had quoted had appeared in th
Witness. The facts were that be fur-
nished his authority, which was the
tbrnstian Leader, and hs had also reed
the extract in the Montreal Witness. It
had also been stated that he had made
misrepresentations about the Portage
Road between Chippewa and (Omega-
town
,)ueeo.
town being closed by the Goveromeot at
the instance of the hierarchy. He was
here to state that the road was closed,
and he still believed it was because o
the influent* of the hierarchy. Fath*
Smith opposed the road being kep
open, and it was closed, and •Itboug
a deputation went to Toronto
to meet s deputation town Ottawa on
the subject and arrange the matter, h
was told Archbishop Lynch opposed the
opening of the road. and it was no
opened, and still remained closed.
The road was not all closed, bu
you had to go uit of the
way now to avail yourself of it. In
addition to these misrepresentation/. it
was stated by THs SIGNAL that he had
said that out of =70.000 expended the
Catholics received $40,000. What he
said was that $70,000 were expended
upon general institutions under Protes-
tant auspices and $40,000 upon Catholic

cited the actionsf the presbyteries,

hearers tc. understand that the principles
of the Cross of Calvary were involved in
the present agitation. They were fight-
ing the hierarchy, but while doing so
they had nothing but the beet of feeling
for the Roman Catholic people. There
was • marked distinction between the to
hierarchy and the peep's. The people a•
deserved oar sympathy and loving kind- h
proofs. At the time of the conquest of
the French by the English, the Jeanne

quest there was so coohscatioo, but the

Archbishop Lynch and the hie-

than Rev John Young. The next mat-

importance and deemed a new party
necessary was that some Protestants al-
lowed their daughters to be Bunted at
convent schools. That was a matter of
private cnncero, moa surely the Oovsrn-
