The number of defaulters on the part of the lessees has been hundreds. *hilt the number of distraints has not been tens.

The tales of their austerity are for the most part founded on what might be rather than on what has been.

The pain- wn' on which the cmple of ca- do Crown lands in this county had for inany years been sold. was entirely b.yxd the reach a the great mass of new settlers who annually rushed into Huron. They had no choice but either to lease from the Canada Company or turn back with their families. and thus the Ieasnng-systerd was rendered successful and in many in-, stances advantageous. But, so soon as the Government adapted the instalment system, poor men awed purchase and at once preferred the purchase to the lease. The Company had already sold enough to iende'te-e remainder valuable. and know- ing -that the settlement of the Crown lands would necessar.ly . enhance that value. and also seeing the daily increasing demand for lands at an increasing price. hey suspended both the sale and the leas- ing. The town of Goderich. notwith- standing its present encouraging pros- pects.of a railroad and an extensive lake traftic. is almost at a standstill. Building lots cannot be had at any price,and no in- timation of sales being resumed will be afforded. In addition to this serious evil. there is another equally serious. A large ppacor• tion 01 the townships of.Hullett and Mc- Killop is still in the hands of the Com- pany. and these two townships he between the public roads and the new Govern- ment towrships. The thousands of poor settlers who have recently gone into Grey. Howick and Turnberry, and from the county town. must pass through seven or eight miles of the Canada Company's un- settled wilderness. It lies as a barrier between them and civilization, and there is not the slightest prospect of getting it removed. This is certainly a sore evil. and though the Company, in thus en- deavoring to make tete most out of their property. are only doing what every other property -holder in the Province does. every day, that does not lessen the injury done to the poor. industrious settlers and to the country generally. Whether the Provincial Government, as has often been alleged, was wilfully play- ing into the hands of the Canada Com- pany, by keeping the public lands out of the market, or offering them on the "cash down" principle, or whether the policy wa s simply the result of ignorance, one thing at least is obvious, namely. that the Company altslys succeeded in having a fair sprinkling of (mends or tools in the House of Assembly. The powers and interests of the Company. even down to the question of the wild land tax. were sure to be protected in the Legislature and there can be no doubt that their anx- iety to return "fit and proper" persons, - and the dishonorable and violent means, resorted to by the commissioners and agents. to secure the election of these tt Is, contributed much to the growth of •that jealous animosity and hostile spirit that for many years inspired the settlers against the tympany. The following, bitter accusations. ex- tracted from an address to the electors of Huron, by Dr. Dunlop, in 1841, ex- hibit faithfully the general feeling of the county towards the Company—a feeling existing not at election times alone but at all times, throughout a number of years; and it cannot be wondered that the prevalence of such a spirit should have retarded seriously the progress and prosperity of the district. The Doctor's address winds up as follows. "But that remains to be proved when my scrutiny before the House conies on. and where 1 am prepared to prove that the Canada Company. whose province it ought to be to protect their settlers from sin and crime, have flagitiously used every mean trick and stratagem to plunge them into open and corrupt per. jury; basely manufacturing votes to de• feat the law and the people, exposing their ignorant and innocent settlers to the scorn of the one and the pains and pen- altiesof the other. in their infamous at- tempt to rob the constituency of their franchise and to leave them virtually unrepresented by thrusting upon them by such base acts their own nominee. They have brought torwerd on this oc- casion the unfledged stripling of nineteen aide by side with the hoary ruffian of fifty, openly. knowingly and impiously to kiss the sacred volume with a lie upon their lips. This contest is a struggle. not between James McGill Strachan and William Dunlop, but between the Canada Company and the people of Huron, and if it shall be derided against the in the court of final riwmrt, that the Canada Company can place their nominee in per !lament by their fiat, it will be a warn- ing to every honest Englishman, to every cautious and calculating Scn(chmen, and to every warm-hearted and blundering.
