The Contest in Huron.
. .
No doubt, moat of oria readers
,
ltave already learned of the victory
,
achieved by the Reform Candidates
in Huron. The time alIo•tted for
the contest was short, and each of
the candidates were compelled to
make the best' use possible of the
few days -which wereat their dis-
disposal between the -date Of the is-
suing of the writs and that at which
they were returnaale. • Notwith-
standing ' this, and the extremely
unfavorable season of the year at
Whieh the elections have been held,
all the_ opposing- candidates, set to
work and faced their duty bravely.
and manfully, and we •believe we
are correct in saying that a very
fair expression of the sentiments of
the people bitS been obtained. In
the SouthRiding,the majority of MT.
Gibbons is not a very large one, still
it is much greater than his warmest
ftiends anticipated for. him. In
choosing as they have, we think the
electors of South Huron have done
Wisely. We believe they have chos-
en a man who will fearlessly; -and
boldly discharge his duty' towards
tliem. While not a rabid party man,
lai is a man who aill at all times
pursue the course he thinks best
suited to the interests of the country
and of his constituents. We may be
disappointed in the high' estimate
we have formed of Mr. Gibbons. .11
.so,_ we shall, not be slow in making•
our disappointment known, or in
letting his constituents know where-
in he may err. We would have Mr'.
Gibbons remember, that his every
action and vote will be closely scru-
tiuized and watched, 'and if he. is
-found to act the part of a. statesman -a-
ir be is found to perform his. duties
faithfully and honestly, and in such.
a manner LIS will redound to his own
credit and the credit -of the censti-
tueoey wl licit. has reposed sconfi den ce
in him, he will not find his constitu-
ents ungrateful. So far as we can
learn, the contest has been conduct-
ed. fairly and honestly ou bosh sides.
The friends of both parties worked
nard for their candidates, but fur-
ther than this, we do not believe
that eitla r went We believe that
theic late, ontest in South Huron
waa condi cted without resorting to
any of those disreputable practices
which ate so comr1101I dIllirig elec-
tion contests in other constituencies.
We believe that Robert Gibbons has
been elected as the true represcpta-
tire of the people of the South Rid -
jug of Huron. We believe that a
tl tre ex i reeeion of opittioa has been
obtained, and that. every man who
voted fur him didiso from the firm
eonviction that he was casting his
vote on the side of truth and right.
On the other hand, we. have no
deubt that those who opposed Mr.
Gibbons WCIO honest in their oppo-
:eition. They supported Mr. Carling,

fit for . cultivation, While even the
most , rocky parts would make ex-
cellent pastore land. ' • Pete were

'One very gratifying feature in
Muskoka settlement was the fact
-nut - the people were remarkanly
intelligent and industrious, besides
they . were . contented • and -happy,
very much attached to • the place,
and prospering in their circum-
stances. At first they were destitute
of postoffices and ` stores, sit* mills,
and grist mills,- schools and:chutch-
es, , stages, and steamboats, but now
. the whole aspect of then ia changed
and they enjoy all those - ftacilities
to an extent hitherto unequAlled in
- a Canadian settlement . :
• As an evidence of the prosperity
of the country, he gave .a sketch of
,
Bracebridge. A year Or two ago
this place was sclucelv knoWn, but
now it contained 4 large .ikttels, .8
excellent store; 2 • butcher fihops, 2
baker shops, 2 boot and shoe stores,
machine shop, 2 blacksmiths shops',
carpenters' shops, drug . store, book

tants; and besides this, there is
about a dozen of other villages of
more or tess importance. • ! '
When I am asked who I would
advise to go to Muskoka- I answer,
-let- those men • who • have large.
farms and oomfortable borates stay
at home; but tenant farmels and
poor men who are unable to procure
farms on the 1'1.6116 cannot doebecter
than go back into the bush and
accept of the free -grants of -land so
generously given to aill actual sett-
lers. The peoptiety Of this course
is illustrated in the limpeyed con-
dition of hundreds now-eresiding in
Muskoka, and -Parry Sound: T
speaker knew hundreds who, when
theycame to ,0e, sii,q tlenrent, were
as poor as any man i1 London, who
by induetry ' and pe '30\ 0! now
own large clea.ranc•s, well -stocked
farms, and • aee iu e mfortable cir-
cumstances: New . settlers now
have few trials corn ?ared With the
, early- pioneers, as there are stm•eS
and-post-offiees, saw mills arid -grist-
mills,. Churches .Etnde school-heosee
and. other faCilities Which- they Were
deprived of; and the future 'pros.
peas are , cheering. . Brace:bridge
has been fixed unon as the present
terminus of the Toronto; Simcoo and

before three years it -will penetrate

pidity hitherto unknown • in the

est of all boona' we aro indebted . to

England is not disposed t make any

if any arrangement is erltered into

an equivalent. The Col naissioners
seem to incline rather to he plan of
