Rebuking a Slanderer.
Ta the Editor of the Exeter Times.
DEAR Sin. -illy attention has been
called to a paragraph from your Elimville
correspondent of repent date, referring to a
lecture delivered by me in the ohuroh at
that place. The Blander has been published
by that apostle of righteousness and Pro-
testant supporter of the Mowat Government
-the' Clinton New Era. My attention has
also been called to a reply from Elimville an
the St Marva Journal. Aly oritio says the
lecturer did not follow the line it Kas ex-
pected he would take." N6, probably not.
But bad I denounced John A. and lauded
Sir. Blake and shoot -the -volunteers Laurier;
had I denounced Mr. Meredith and lauded
Mowat & Co., had I lauded the intolerant
and begoted Archbishop Cleary and de-
nounced the Protestants of Ontario as
fanatics -then, and thea only, would I "fol-
low the line intended" to snit one who appar-
ently knows nothing of -and who is uuwili•
ing to learn anything about-Orangeism or
Protestantism. Those who run may read
that be is one of those blind partisans ever
ready to twist and torture plain faots, and
make falai) accusations against a large and
respectable body of men. That he is "as
good as though he were bound by a hundred
obligations," may be perfec.ly true .accord-
ing to his light of reasoning, but his evid-
ence from the witness box so far has been
so unreliable that a "hundred obligation i"
would not likely raise his standardbttruth-
fulness. This good, Christian, nameless
man of :Elimville makes tbe same stale,
worn-out false accusation, in a sneering
manner, that "Orangemen declare that
Catholics" (he shouldhave added so-called
Protestants Ike himself also)"oanuot be
trusted and yet at elections they come up to
the same trough and take their gruel like
men." A refutation of the slander shonld
not be necessary, for it comes from nue
with political hack proclivities like that of
Mowat, Frazer & Go., and has on its double
face the plain imprint of Protestant Ontario
ruled by the Romish Hierarchy, by and
with the consent of Protestants who can see
no good in au Orangeman's obligation 1 Is:
it not true y Certainly. And they aro to
be found hurling their anathemas at
Orangemen and Orangeism, Let me assure
this worthy disciple of Fenian O'Brien, our
own Laurier, Mowat dt Co;, that the sons of.
William can afford to treat with contempt
