FRIDAY, NOV. 10, 1871.
The Ontario Legislature.
ie now pretty geeerally nrider-
stood, that the Ontario Legislature
will be called together for the dis-
patch of_business on the 7th of De -
I
cember next. The question is fre-
quently akecJ what `.1tre the pros-
pects far the efeat of the Govern-
ment ? .This IS ( lleSti011 W1110h is
tepee] deal cnere easily asked than
anewered. In a few Weeks, how-
:tmystery will be owed,
and !h. egony ended. IN.linisteriel
joure a .1-tim that the government
will bt- susteined by a fair working
majority. It is claimed, on the other
hand, by ,the journals of the opposi-
tion, that althoughetho Government
may be enabled to elect their Speek-
r, and commence the session, yet
they will not have sufficient strength
to enable them to hold their posi-
tions to the. end of the first session,'
and th at upom the first impor tan t
teat questions eltich come up, they
will' tie efeated. _ We are - inelined
to think that both are slightly
estray. While we are not -prepared_
to concede to the Government , so
la'rge a majorityas their friends
claim for them, we are not by any
means hopefule that theete' will be
easily defeated. ThefolloWing ex-
-tract froze the Tore -tato correspond-
,
-ence of the Moutreal Witness may
be taken for -what it, is worth :.
"Tbe feelitg of uncertainty which pre-
vailed.after the elections, owing to /the
doubtful position of a number of the re-
turned members; has given place to one
of confidence on the part of the AdMinis-
tration and their supporters. After a.
careful calculation of the chances, .and
eaumeration -of their followers, they are
disposed to feel sanguine at the pix)spect.
The Ilea': Members have been approached
and. their views ascertained; and, as
might have been anticipated, thmajori-
ty of the " independents" are disposed
to favor the Government. Mutsh, of
course, will depend- npon their policy;
but if it be as well calculated to appeal
to the intere,st of the constituencies -by
eacoaraOng public enterprises, &c., as
th„rar of cast year, there is little doubt that
San ine:d Madeonald will commence the
seat,ie:t with a fair working majority."
what e.xtent the above 'iered:e-
tee way he cot recte evef • of- coarse,
art. nuaole to .say. • .There is little
deaht, however, that if Mr. Sendtihi tedonall finds that his follow -
