All Official Notices Published FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1871 Time for Action. It is now pretty generally um:We-- stood, that -the elections for the Local Legislature of •Ontario will take place in April Or the early part of May. This being the case it be- hooves the electors to be on the look -out for suitable men to fill the -honorable and important positions which will then be in their. gift. •Thifi important duty is too frequent- ly treated by taanY lightly, and as a - matter of comparatively little im- portance. This is not as it should be: •It•is a duty which every man owes to himself and his country, to see that none but men of sterling. worth and tried iategrity are placed in positions of so ,great trust. This being the case, the people should not delay. The time when they will be called upon to make their final choice itrnow not • far distant. The candidates should at once be chosen, that their merits and demerits may be thoroughly and calnfiy canvassed before the time for the final decision arrives. ° Matters political„ so fan are ex- ceedingly quiet in Huron. No preparations have yet been madefor the rapidly approa.ching elections. The names of several new candida- tes are occasionally .mentioned, but • nothing of a tangible nature has yet been attempted. The time has now came for action, and we trust that before another week goes around. some definite scheme may be decided upon, which will lead to the selec- tion of men who are worthy to act as standard -bearers for our large, prosperous and wealthy County in the Legislature of the Province. If • the electors of the County are per- : fectly satisfied with the course which our present rept esentatives have pur- • sued for the past four years, let it be so understood. But, if, on the other hand, they think men can be found who will better and more faith- fully represent their views and wish- es, it is now high time that they were making their opinions and in- . tendons know. So far as we are concerned, we believe that better and more trustworthy men can be found. We do not pretend to say but -• that our present representatives have given some geed votes in the Legis- lature, but we do unhesitatingly say that they have given many bad ones. We do say that they • have on various occasions voted for measures which •are -diametrically opposed to the best interests of the country, rather than give offense or injme those whom they profess to follow. We do not believe in any representative being a mere voting machine, who will blindly foliew his leaders, be they ri.ght or he they wrong. We care not on what side of politics a man may be, We like to see him act independently and fear- lessly. Let hint pursue the course - which his conscience dictates to him• is right, independent entirely of party, or party ties, 'being at all times prepared to give geed and stile statial reasons for the course he het. pursued. Thi a is the stamp of men • we want to Tepresent .us in Huron. We think, however. we are safe in saying, that a large majority of the intelligent electors of Huron, will bear -us out in. the assertion, that our present representatives do not come up to this standard. From what we have seen of their conduet in the House we have no hesitation • in classing them both as the _most slavish and incompromising parti- zans, who act as if their motto was "party hrst and country afterwards." We would again urge upon the elec- tors the necessity for immediate action. ical execution of the work; is excel- ent, and the systematic atrengeiment of its conteiats. -and the general accuracy of its Iinformation are, equally commenda le. .

If the people of are determined to offer no epte, another -wine can and found. • The road will be nd it will afferd facilities o other road in existence pete with. • Mr. Atkinson, Vice -President of the London Board of Trade, con- glatulated the people of Seaforth upea the rapid progress their village had made in the last few years, and attributed that progress to the ex- cellent gravel roads that rim into it. Whei the advantages from be- ing a gravel road :centre were so great, *is it not reasonable to sup- pose that -the advantages from being a great railway centre would be uch greater. The era af uage roads has passed away. England there were no raii - 'd dividends, except narroir- oads. The dividends which n paid on the Great West- • been derived from local and everybody knows that ough _freight Mirried by the Trunk does not pay for the grease ised upan the car axles, so that it, too, had to depend for its -support cm local freight. This being the case, he could not see why a cheaplyl- constructed romi, passing through so magnificenS a country as this, and devoted entirely to local freigbt, would not be a profitable underteking. The proposed , road wonld open a direct highway be- tweena yery important port on Lake Mime and an important port on Lake Erie. It woeld also open a direct highway to the great coal fields Of Ohio, which would be of vast importance to the people of this in a few years, when their me scarce. ()wing to the competition they had at they could get goods taid at their doors, from Liver - t about 75 cents per 100 pounds, which is as cheap as they can do at Toronto, and goods could be ere ried over the earrow guage from London at a much lower rate than th 1. road WE would compet sidered feeder as wel would 1 guaran by othe another Seafort indehe will be bnilt, which can co very broad - Even i ways p guage 1 had b ein ha freight, the th Grand I I 3 section fujel be Londe - down pool, a ey could front Toronto or on.

We I' where Loudon is and what mainly to the inctease of railway facilities—of lines from opposite points of thempompess crossing. Take, for _instance, Toronto. The immediate effect of the construction of the Grand Trunk was not bene - Mal to Toronto, but they had never found any bad effects from- the! Northern Road. A very large pro -1 portion of the pork shipped from bete last winter had been shipped to London. He was certain that two competing roads liSt afford us cheaper freights,'andas a conse- quence enable As to pay higher rates for produce. This must have the effect of increasing OUT market and adding to the prosperity of out vil- lage. He thought that were this road built, it would materially aid in the development of our salt in- terest. . He considered it tc be the duty of every person who had a stake or interest in the" village to advocate any scheme which would aid in increasing and encouraging this most impeortant • trade. We have here the largest, deepest and; purest salt -beg which has yet been .discovered in America, and we only; want increased facilities of shipmentl to enable us to compete with thei world. This road will leadinto old and wealthy section of the country where immense quantities of salt conid be readily disposed of, and besides this, it gives hs connec- tion withmhe various-. other roads, which we are now in a measure shut out from. With regard to the real point of opposition, that the retail trade will be injured, be must confess he had not yet made up his mind. Two-th-'ds of the goods shipped to Seafort are taken to the. North, , and wh tiler the road would serve to Mc ease che Northern trade at our expense, he considered a difficult question to decide upon. He thought that by the extra shipping facilities which this road would afford, a good wholesale trade could be established here. Viewing the subject from all the different standpoints, be felt convinced that increased railway facilities could not fail to help every business man in Seaforth. Mr. Jackson, of Egmondville, thought -we were- here not to &muss the question whether the railway will be built or not. He felt satist fled that the road would be built, and it was for us to say whether wei would grant it that encouragement which would brirg it through Sea - forth, or allow it to go some other route, and carry the trade which we should receive to (other places. He urged upon the meeting the proprie- ty of granting all needful encourage- ; ment to the road. • Dr. Coleman maintained thet if we secured this road we would have our freights reduced to such an ex- tent as to make Seaford' a " superior market to other places for produce, &met' and would besides make it a railway centre, which would increase its importance, and attract:to it thei attention of manufacturere and capi talists. If trade falls off it will b for "mat of the road. 'Whereveil there was a railway or gravel roaci centre, there would trade surely go In proof of this the Doctor instanc- ed Harpurhey. There they had built a station, and had used ever means to retain the trade ot thi section of the country, but the could not do it, because of the crosei roads at Seaford'. So it would bel in this instance, should this road cross at any other point, the trade from Seaford) emuld go in that di•• reetion, and we could not prevent it. The Doctor explained at consider- able length the benefit such a road would be to the salt interests, and the vast benefits the people had it14 ready reaped, and would continue to receive from this source of wealth in our midst, and maintained that the salt business alone, if properly dm veloped, would be sufficient to keep up the village. He concluded by making an eller to the company of, the right of way through his propert ty free of cost. Mr. Thomas Kidd believed that sm.d) a road as that proposed would have the eflect, of destroying our '.Mackenzie and Holton took part,— produce and mercantile trade. and Galt and Mackenzie maintaining doing the villagean immense amount that the House ShetiO be fully in-. of injury.

SliMMARY OF PARLIAMENT. • The Opening—The Fisheries alid• the Joint High, Gommission—The • Xanitoba Blections—Debate on • the' Address — The Red River • Volunteers. On Wednesdav, 15th inst., the Parliament of the Dominion was opened in due form by His Excel- lency the Governor General. The Speech from the Throne, which we print on the first page of this issue, shows that number of very im- portant r4asures will require the attention of members. In the House of Comm -ons, the Speaker announced that eight va- cancies had occurred in the House, three of them by death, for filling which the necessary steps had been taken. The 11@NY members were then introduced. Mr. Mackenzie inquired whether the House would, before passing the address, receive any correspondence •respecting the Fisheries and the; appointment • of the Joint High Commission, urging, • the great importance of that ques- tion, the certainty of discussing it in the debate on the address, and the desirability of an early expres- Sion of opinion of leading men of the 'Dominion on a subject affecting our pational interests so much,. Sir John A. Ma.cdortakl replied that it -would be unusual and inconvenient to bring down such correspondence at present, but promised it as soon as- it could be given without injury to the public intemsts. The address. in reply to the speech from the Throne would not commit any hon- orable member to a general approval of the policy of the Government. He appealed to the Opposition to give the Government every consid- eration in dealing with ,such au im- portant question as the -Fisheries, and prevent, any discussion which might prejudice the. interests of Canada. Mr. Mackenzie thought that upon this occasion the usual practice might be •departed fhom, but assured the Premier the Govern ment could always count on the patriotic course of the Opposition. After some remerks from Sir A. T. Galt about the advisability of hav- ing the conespondence include that asked for in the same question, last session, the House adjourned. On Thursdey, 16th inst., in the House of Common, Mr. Mackenzie. made enquiry respecting the repre- sentation of Manitoba in Parlia- ment. Sir John Macdonald said, the question had - been under scrioUB • consideratien. The necessary steps had been taken for holding elec- tions in Manitobamind returns were - daily e,xpected. Manitoba would, consequently be represented in the Commons and the Senate, and the necessary steps would be taken by the Government for rendering the elections constitutional.
