SIR, --Tile friends of the Soithern Ex - 'tension of the Wellington Railway feel Much aggrieved. at the condact of . the Government•.of Ontario, in withholding a subsidy from that portion of road ex- tending from Dryden to Wingh am. You are aware, Mr. Editor, that the Toronto Railway Company,. the London, Huron and Bruce, and. Wellington Railroad Companies havebeenbefore the people of North Huron for some time, with the view of building a line,of railway through the northern townships of North Huron, to • Kincardine - Each of these Companies , was ably represented by leading men from the cities of Toronto, London and Hamilton, all eagerly endeavoring to show the advantages of having railway communication with either of these cities. Each Oty claimed •superiority over the other as an outlet for the pin - duce of North Huron. to the markets of the world. We had ample opportunity Of , considering for ourselves which of these lines of Railway would give us the most advantages, .and either ofr them would Cost us about the same amount in bonuses. After mootcareful consider- atioa, ,a majority of i the people' decided ire foyer of the VVellington Railway, and , the, Mount of bonuses asked from each township was carried, with the exception of East Wawartosh, through the whole line of route to Kincardine, and promises to have the road built in two years from passing of the By-laws were given by the .Conipany, and engagements with the municipalities Were entered into. There was only one drawback to the wishes of the people being carried out, which was a participation in the fund set apart by the Government, of Ontario, to aid in the construction of railways leading to inland waters. The townships could only raise about $4,000 per mile, and the Company .would not undertake t� Wild the road Mr less than $6,000 per mile: But the people felt satisfied that no Obstacle would be put in their way by the Gov- ernment, especially. when Mr. Pdake came into - power. They felt satis- fied, Whatever axe -grinding Mr. &midfield McDonald •had on hand, Mr. Blake would never stoop to an unjust act, but. would give equal justice to every section of the country without fear or favor. 'Rut t� our disgust, these illusions soon -r vanished, and many a sterling Reformer who 'battledwearifully in the past, held down his head for very s mile, to think that we wield bd so unjus ly treated. as Io despoil, us of ourjust rights, by de- priving us of e line of railway by Ainley - Ville, as far as Government aid Was con- cerned. Whether true or false, no ration- al man can cometo any other conclusion thau that.. an attempt was made by the Governinent of Ontario to prevent the Wellington Railway coming by way of Ainleyville, and to d'ampel them to come leit- Way of Wroxeter. Another condo - awn the people , have ceme to is, that the Government could have me object in this except to serve the interests of the 'c'ty of Toronto ancl the interests of T M.

Toronto (aiorapany could not force thems lves upon the people of I SouthiBruce t nd North Huron, the To- ronto people' invoked the strong arm of the GovernMent to their aid, thereby showing a favor to the people of Toronto that they have not shown to the people of Hamilton. I am also extremely sorry that there should be any color to a charge of selfishness with regard to Mr. . Gibson and. I am still inclined to feel that before another election comes round. he will show that he has bad no act or part in this matter, and if he desires to hand his name down to posterity unsullied, he should advise the Government to re- trace their steps, and not bring disgrace on the Reform party, who for so many years have battled for principles of truth and justice to every man, friend or foe, Neither contaminate our fair fame for such bubbles, that may not give us but temporaryadvantages at the best. I -Would rather see the whole railway fund sunk at the bottom of the Atlantic, than that it should bring. dishonor on the fair fame of the Reform party.

MISCELLANEOUS. • and will characterize the present con- test, on his part, and we can only regret, for his sake, that he has seen fit to change his political opinions. You will, therefore, see the necessity of a judicious selection, thorough organization and united efforts. It is not the use of per- sonal invectives, slang words and pbrae es, or a continuation of meaningless words that will prove the trutli'of our princi- ples and the justice of our cause. Such weapons have been used by a would-be Reformer hailing from Exeter, but he has surely more zeal than discretiop. We shall also do well to guard against the term "Liberal Conservative;" it is only an assumed virtue intended to mis- lead the unwary. To party it is we must look for measures, and not to persons or names. _Not denying some liberal views to the Conservatives, especially to those who are renegades from the Reform ranks, yet it is pertinent to all that they now stand where the Reformers stood twenty-five years ago with regard to good. government and popular pro- gress; the latter party being that much or more in advance. Stillelocalinfluences, too, -will be brolight to bear upon you; these considerations are not worthy of your notice. Act up to the broad prin- ciples of your party, vote for the general benefit, arid local interests will be well served, depend upon it. Lastly, ,Re- formers'remember that the past of your party has been glorious, the present hon- orable, and the future presents a broad field for your best efforts. Since the days of Cromwell's ironsides the Reform party has stood the cham- pion of political, social and religious liberty. To Roundheads, Whigs and Reformers is mainly due British freedom the world over. This is no vain boast, but is supported by the best historians of the past and present. This being the case, let us stand elidulder to shoulder, be true to out political antecedents and victory will ere long perch on our ban- ners and reward our toil. A LIFELONG REFORMER. Stephen, April 22nd, 1872. emote 4110. - FROM MANITOBA More Money Wanted. To thi Editor of the Huron Expositor. DR+ noticed by some remarks in your pa -Per a week or two 'ago, that a delegation composed: of leading gentle- men from the municipalities lying along the Clinton route of the London, Huron and Bruce Railway, promised to the Directors of that Company an ad- ditional sum of $100,000, providing that route be adhered to. To these iemarks I, at the time, paid but little heed, as 1 believed the story to have originated. with some of you newspapermen. Upon reading the Secretary's Report I found that your statement was substantially correct, and also that the London men were tools enough to pay so much atten- tion to this begus offer, as to notice it in their report. Now, in making up this $100,000 estimate, I learn upon high authority, that an additional bonus of $15,000 was promised. on behalf of Hui - lett. It is levell known that Hulletthas already- granted a bonus of $15,000 to the said scheme, and I must say that those who promised, on behalf of this municipality, to double that sum, have been 'reckoning without their host. I am one of those who voted for the form- er bonus, but I can assure you, -sir, that rather than see .dar fine township sad- dled with en additional amount of -$15,- 000, merely for the purpose of saving the pockets of a few -London speculators, I would travel through every concession, and visit every rate -payer in the town- ship to induce theni to oppose it. Al- though my- farm is eituated but a few lots from where it is supposed the road. will run if it passes this way, I would not vote for an additional penny, even. if 1 were sure that my vote would bring us the roaci with all its benefits. And, sir, I am not alone in this way of thinking. I have been conversing with many'other rate -payers of Hullett who voted. for and. supported the former by law, and. fhey with but one exception take my view of the question. In order -to show any fellow -farmers the vileness of the outrage which a few probably well-paid inch viduals desire to inflict upon our township, a few words of explanation may be necessary. In order to raise this promised $100,000 it is proposed to levy on Hullett an ad- ditional $15,000, and for what? Merely to save the pockets of the Londoners and . . a few of palities. Winghan about 68 Thomas Gibson. There are very. few-, however, who believe that Mr. Gibson` has that influence with the Government that hanould coerce them to do an un- just act, to serve his interests. We are morally. certain, however, that nothing would be more pleasing to Mr. Gibson than that the Wellington Company -would be compelled to come by Harris - ton, so that the people of Wroxeter might have two linee of railway, while, the peciple -of Morris and Grey should have none. But this is not our opinion of what an -upright representative should do.

Should he be ou • the st is representative for tvventy years, re might no question arise- that would so • closely effect our interests, and we will holdhim to strict account in this matter. Whatever likesor dislikes he may have to the Wellington Company with regird to broken pledges, is none of dierbusiness. We care not one whit for the Company; it is the railway we coetend for. We are notehowever, so selfish in ur desire for a railway, that we would like to see the, people of Howick deprive(' of one, Every intelligent farmer ine Nor th Perth aud North Huron would rejoice if the Toronto Road be built. It -would be to their interests and add vastly to the de- velopment of the resources of this sec- tion of country. But we think Mr.• Blake has grossly blunderedin this mat • ter of aid to railways, ' He has provided for Teeswater. Although he has not bonused the road from Wingham, one of the conditions of the bonus from. Harris - ton to Wingbarci is, that the road ex- tend. to Teeswater. Why not make pro- vi6on. from Dryden to Winghain as well e of the cold. A baser intrigue never Was perpe- . trated upon „an intelligent people, it is also an outrage upon the people of Hamilton, and unjust towards °the Wellington Company. The people rejected the Toi-onto Com- pany,—they were ignominiously defeat- ed in every township where they came in contact with the Hamilton ConipanV, with one exception, and therefore, to :compel the Hamilton Company to change their route te that selected by the To- ronto Company, is nothing less than base imposition. We are fully convinced, however, that Mr. Blake's Government_ was not fully made aware of the injure tice of their act, and that when the mat- ter is fully understood by them, there we find thatit's all alluvial soil, no matter almost to what depth you go. Decom- posed vegetable matter can be found at the depth of .%) feet, thus showing that the prairie has been at one time the bot- tom of a lake. No subsoil can be found. as in Canada. The nearest approach to subsoil is a kind of white clay, which is found mostly- on srnall knolls, or near re - vines. This clay is used in plastering, and. building houses. It is a good sub- stitute for lime, and in some cases we saw houses plastered altogether with it. We will give this clay a fair trial this coming season, anti see if it is as good as is said. If it is, there is use of lime and sand, for plastering which is done withthis clay is as white as that of lime. Ae far as looks are concerned, it is equal to the lime.

The schools in this Province are pro- gressing favorably, and. in some cases the houses that are being used for school purposes are found to be much too small for the attendance.

We .are pleased to see such feeling existing, and we hope that it will continue so always, as by that means presperity coupled with Christian charity -will be a fruit which will last forever.

SALT on WHEAT. --John Burgon, of Pahnyra, Illinois, writes to the Rock River Farmer: About the 20th of March, 1871, I sowed 10 acres of wheat On 2e acres of this piece I put one barrel of salt. The whole piece was subject to the same cultivation, sown with a sower, cultivated and harrowed. once. On the 24 acres the salt was sowu broad -cast and crosa-harrowed. Now for the result. The piece sown with salt yielded 23 bushels to the acre; the balance twelve. Where the salt had been sprinkled I also found the berry to be larger and. plumper, and the -straw yellower and stronger. I do not know as the result would always be as favorable; but I certainly will try it again, and advise nny brother farmers to try the earne ex- periment.
