The Huron Expositor, 1871-11-17, Page 69 tt. "THZ HURON EXPOSITOR. ...An Elector of Hay on Mr. Cam- eron's Political Course. ..To the Editor of the_Clintcn )Vete Era. _ DEAR SIR,—Being an electorof •'the South Riding of Huron, and an adherent of the Reform cause, I was much intetested by an article in the Seaforth ExPosthatt of the 2th ult., comparing Mr. M. C. Cameron's career in Parliament, as recorded in the journals of the House, with that gentleman's version of the same, e (riven at the late .Reform Convention at Seaforth. At the time of the last election for the Dominion, in com- M011 with the Reformers of this con- stituency generally, I admit ed -Mr. ,Catneron's abilities and confided in his integrity. I considered we were - extremely fortunate in seeming the i parliamentary services of .v§lie ()is-. ting uished "Leader of the Goderich Bar." I fondly believed lie would, OCcupy a preminent position among errors, of Reform, and wake the. walls of the house eing with his sharp incisive eloquence. 'That he wo-uld ever prove recreant to his principles, and go down the sinuous paths that lead to political cleetetela teen an I death, was en idea t could not enteitahat 'Time parliament assembled, the news- .. ,• papers contained long report S of the proceedinge of the House, but the great speech which was to place Mr. Cameron among the 'foremost dhatn- pions of debate, did not appear: Questions of vital irnpoi tan CC Were discussed, measures cif most iniquih t ous character were brought forward by the Government, nobly resisted by the opposition, and finally car - tied by a subservient mojerity ; but Mr. Cameron remained either alto- ge•ther silent, Or was, at best but - feebly vocial. Andel all the din,' the excite - men a the corn motion of diet mo- mentotie Straggle, the " Leader of the Goderich Dae,'' from whom so wuch was expected, seem- ed to steed as powerless as the god, of the Hittites when Israel emote' 'them, hip and thy th thigh, be -waters of Merom. At length -there came an apparent change.—A measure— not for the benefit of the peopl large, brit for the beneflt" of cer individuals at the expense of people, was -conceived, brought forth and christened the "National Policy.". The oracle was no longer dumb. Mr. -Cameron was m:ither dead -nor asleep—the sale question tduched the sensitive spot, and he R prang upon his feet. Galvanized into temporary activity, his elce quence shot forth a flickering fliillle only to die out as goon as the Na- tional Policy, which stirred it in LO lire, became an accomplished feet; when he crept once more into his shell, • and resumed his policy . of ." masterly inactivity." Sue]) seem- ed to cue, and to many others in the county; Mr. 'Cameron's parliament- ary career. But such a career, though not laudable, WaS, l'erhaps, excusable, and I was en xio II S to hear' n. eexplanation of Lis conduct from his own. mouth, befoin finally passing j udgmen t thereat. Th et n, explanatiowas given at the Se forth meeting referred to, and, was pleased to learn, seemed to gie entire s teiefactioe to MS friends, an effectually silence his detractor &nee more alt Nees hmil ing —11 . Cameron's' delinquencies the worst s pardonable, he woul turn over a new leaf, be metered t the favor of his partv and agai triumphantly .carry the election :But this proved to be a ileetin donm. The article in the Exeoety on. before mentioned, at once dis pblled the illusion, and ,again :in volved the reputation of Mr.. Cain. eron in very grave uncertainty. That article contained fads and figures e hich flatly contradicted certain statements made by- Mr. Carnuren in the speech le -fore allud- c ed to. 'These fitcts and, h elves, mo- feesedIv cePied from the journals of ttie Honee, are either fah e, which if so could be easily proved, or Mr. Cameron has defiled himeelf before the public by uttering a lie. That is Hal conclu.cdon Without possibilith of twasion. His statement of hie attendn ace in. Parliament was cite nbunced. A eras.te e exeie ted? however; he dies ha . He em:- ploys all the hicatiery and su ter - I fuge that his 1 ngtprof sional t ain-e ing has made inimai3t r of t� ()D- ecal the wee nei ss of s posi ion He‘vituperate he films, he threat- ens he boasts, in, shor, , does every- thing but an eting ,squarely the' charges Made against him. He talks of a "n wspepee war b ing solely for the enefit of the com on enemy.'! He overlooke . the act that his failur to. answer the a cu- setions of th .N.X.POSITC:R will do more to insure his defeat, should he, receive the n Mination, than ny: any " newspa et 'wan" how ver loug. But wh tt is 1 eally the "corn mon enemy?" Is it not that politi- cal corruption nd dishonest 'wh'eh have gene. far o ruin our count •y 7 The ranks of t e "cummon. ellen y" are crowded ith men who, I ke Mr. Cameron, have forsaken their principles, fore tten their pthlges, , > aucl paltered With their tr•trst, and then. sought to regain their_posi- tione by SalsellOod and -evasion. 1 bat -T 1 belie - k de not agree : dth him, therefore, when be says t&at a fair and open discassion of 14 career would 'iessed fit the eeemeeee eeeley,e_quite the contraryfie makes use of ore ' expression, however, which bears the stomp Of Gni-1th.
