In the first place, who stiimped tfie county against the Scott Act; was it. the Tories ? No, iu was ’the* Grits.' Mr. Moir, editor of the ExeterGrit organizer of South Huron, ami' formerly Mr. Prow’s best 'man in South Perth, was the chief* Anti Scott Act speaker, in tb.e late- ctimpaiyi). -be was assist(*8 by>Dr. MarlDl' VVInghain, a grit ‘ "Vriiori nsti 11 etl-fespecta ble-people~ and minisTers ql’tiie gospel, iioth op the platform and through theicoliimtv|°f * a*gFtf rrewsptrper,«fln j by a-gr^ law.. lawyer of Exeter,,.

Again-, as to Goderich township, “flopesty” cannot, deny that the' leading- workers and organizers for the Scott Act were Conservatives. Tfie CrdtfsV'Uarrt? I op s,. AHri idy BfAohe- sons.

The ' other Grit papers of the county were, I believe, supporters of tlie Scott Act. “Hon- -estyu says ^‘The Methodists sliould- be proud of the. doses administered to their moral and. intellectual taaultie8.“ Yes thgy should be proud of Dr. Martyn and Mr. Moir, and of tlm Fim/le.snd the Hejleflor. You ' may itnagrrm* Rev. Mr. Campbell for instance, will be proud ol them. He next 'says “The great leaders of that party (meaning Conservative) .are the heart and soul of the liquor traffic,'’ This speaks very badjy for . .Sir L. Tilley, Senator Vidal, Senator xtlcLelan, Bowell, Foster, White, Jamieson, Farrow.and others, who are staunch temperance men, but the statement ;is of course on a par with all others. He then says;—“Sir John Macdonald’s visit to this county will be long remembered by many,’ but not for sobriety.” Tlie writer well remembers two of Sir John's visits-to this county, and nothing but sobriety equid be said„ of either of •them, at Clinton in ’72 or Gorrie in ’7?. “Honesty” dare ’not over his propey signature say differently. He Xhen asks, ‘.‘The leading Conserva­ tives in the county *and township, what are they?"—at the sametime lie mentions Messrs. F. W. Johnston, Kelly, Ritchie, Mason, Cooper, Knox, Elliott; Beacorrr^and Pattou. These men, lie says, have beautifully on- wiaed the liquor and Conservative'- interests as one and the same. Well, here are some names of some leading Grits in the township and county : org-iuizer of tlie Reform'’ Ptibty in the tow ship ; /Archie Kennedy, formerly in Uie same position; D. A. Forrester, W. W. Farran, N. Robson, A. Bishop. M.P.F.j Horton, Lewis, Dr,.Sloan, and last, but not least, M. C. Camer­ on, M.P. I have just as'much tight to say that these, gentlemen liayc the liquor and Reform interests beauti- ftjlly entwined as one. and. Che same'. He then accuses our two Reeves of ptostituting tlie will of tlie p'ople at tiie-County Council board. Wo don't .understand this allusion. “Hon.osty” had better explain it moro clearly. He then states that Huron lias six- or seven hundred o,f a Reform mas jority, and.thot even then the majoi- ity-of hdCelkeepors are Conservative Not ' only are the majority .of the hotelkeepers Conservative. but“Hon- . esty ’ will find that tlie majority of ’ the- business men generally, in tho county are • Conservative.

Belfast, ever fore­ most in devotion to the Protestant cause, welcomes us tlo its new Orange Hall, where tliff true men of Ulster’s jnOtropolis will gather to promote their organization, and form the van­ guard of a vast and loyal army. We rejoice to have' to report from all parts of the Empire, tlie progress and .prosperity of our order. Where- ever its principles prevail are found loyalty and peace.. Turbulence and treason are not the* fruit of Bible teaching. A rebellion has disturbed the North-west Provinces of the Do minion of Canada. “There is loyalty” writes a Provincial Grand Master of tlie Orange Institution, “wherever Protestant missions exist.. The Ro /man Catholic (Jesuit) missions are the hotbeds of this rebellion." ■The visit to Ireland of the heir to the Thr6ue,his beautiful and gracious consort, aud their Royal son, proved to all, if any doubt existed, that.not ‘ cwcn'tljecourtnsyextendedto.travel-, lets would willingly be accorded to England’s luture King.uy the traitors .who teach treason to tim credulous pt ople of Ireland.- ’ - lhe magnificent reception given to tlie- Prince and'.Princess of Wales in- JBelfast, and generally ’throughout loyal Ulster, ought to. prove to tlm •world that where our institution .ex­ tensively prevails industry and intel­ ligence go hand inriiand with loyalty, and that Ulster’s prosperity and pro’ gress are largely due toTts Protestan­ tism. lit view of this we rhsent as an insult to the xyltole province the act- ion of the Government in regard to . the Mayor of Belfast, whose splendid liberality deserved the highest rocog nibien from, our sovereign' lady the .Queen s Tlm echoes of this reception had scarcely died away when’ tlie . Lord Lieu ten a nt, from London, aiin- ed a bloAV ab Protestant iiberty.

An”' allusion to-the Twilltli of July was perverted-. by the CbM rntuent into a party ubtcranco, aud a suggestion to tlie clergy that' they'should ■ sustain' the .missionary character of their Church Was tniide.-a pretext for dis­ missing from office a loyal member ol liCr Majesty’s public service.

But this act of the Viceroy throws sotn’e suspicion upon tlie way in which a renewal Coercion Act would be used; as it might not improbably 'be attempted under its provisions .to ■(suppress meetings and speeches of a distinctively Protestant charact r. ( It is of evil omen that, at a time when a cruel wrong has been .done to the loyal .minority in Ireland, by measures affecting their represent-, ’ation in the House of Commons, the** -opportunity was stfizccl’upom_byJilm.
