that regard for nation . and personal

weakest candidate that could have been
e selected in the whole ridiug, and only
secured a majority of two in the Cou-
vection by pecking that body with his
personal friends from Goderich. But
Mr, Cartwright came as the leader of
his party. He claimed that his rejec-
tion would runt forever the Reform
party, and `•is organ in Seaforth told
the electors that the party would be
forever shattered and broken if they
defeated Mr. Cartwright. O'nsiclering
these appeals, the only wonder is that
the majority is not in the neighbor-
hood of 1,000. We are satisfied with
the verdict. Under the circumstances,
it is as good as a defeat.

then is so clear that no one pays any
attention to the silly talk. All we have
to say about it is, that those who write
in that pitiful strain place a very low
estimate on the intelligence of their
readers. Such puerile reasoning is in
fact an insult to their intelligence.
REFOR>tr Ropers contend that the Con-
servatives dict nut expect to detest Mr.
Mackeuzie'a (ioverument at the eke -
tion just past, and were as much sur-
prised as the friends of the Government
at the result. If memory t+ervttlt us

in the country coutltientiy predicted a
glorious triumph over Mr. Mackenzie.
