Putting the matter -plainly, it not on-
ly is Greenwity or, Cameron and their
respective principles but a Government
which lacks the necessary qualities
.o give it strength -sulaient to
erect its spinal column and bear its
own burden or one whose path would
be to show to the people of the Domin-
ion tliat their principles were exact
ones and their adieus show that they
did not depart from the platform which
they had laid down before taking up
rhe cloak shielding that much -sought
for object—office. Then we have a
wide field before us, one however that
demands a careful surveillance of mat-
ters very closely identified with our
own interests. To be or not to be is
then, as %yes said at one time, the pre-
vailiug question. We feel "to be" is
the manner in whieh that very simple
question will be answered. That is to
say that Thomas Greenway, Esq., is to
be aeturued as the representative for
South Huron in the House of Com-
mons. And Olio issimply because the
people of the riding are sickened at the
futile attemptri made by Mr., CarnerOu
to represent their, interests, Not .only
has this oCcasiened a feeling of squeam-
ishness to take possession of their vi-
tals, but the late trial so convinced
them of the maxi's. duplicity and
the void of' nearly every good princi-
ple, that their delight appeals to be in
elevating their noses when they hear
him approach, scenting him from afar
and praying for genie protecting spirit
to keep him there. Many who voted
for him at the last election have so felt
the tingeish of censeienoe at having as-
sistedtheine ehai ea election,as
