J hn A. Macdonald stands at the helm, and the ship goes bra:vely on. They could understand, therefore, why it 'w s he had been- un- able to visit this part of Canada before. He would not promis that while he was at the head ot the Go_ err:anent he would come often in the ftie re, but- he would do the best he could. i that respect. He believed_the Grits' w uld willingly give tam an opportunity o visiting them fre- quently by 40 ving im from power,--,-, and. if they Wanted to see him oftener, they would haye to on the Grits and tarn him out if the overnment. That such a fate was sto e for him was not possible after the elde ions that had just :been held, for the r suit .one-half of the constituencies m de it a certainty that when 'all' the e ections were com- pleted throughout the Dominion he would have such a Majority s would ensure his being, if he lived, th First Miniater of the Crown for the ext five years. It would be no pride or atisfaction to him, however, to know th t the destinies of the) country would ag. in be entrusted to his keeping unless it was with the con- sent of a large majori y of the people of Ontario. He was now ertain of a majori- ty, but what he, wan ed was a large and decided majority. N va Scotia and New Brunswick had alre dy pronounced in favor of the GoVerani nt. Quebec, Bri- tish Columbia and 11 anitoba would fol- low in the same dire tion, but he desir- ed the strength of t e support (A the Governinent to come from Ontario, and to that strength. he desired the three - ridinge of Huron to ontribute. There were strong aucl su cient reason why they should suatain him. In .1814 he had surrendered a lar.e practice the bar, which w-ouid no eitlit hove produc- ed him a fortune and inade a mil- lionaire, in order to devote himself to the public interests ; -and in all his acts since that time ther was nothing he wished to conceal. e hid a loftier and nobler aim than to a ass *ealth. The great and good Dr. mold, whose wise counsels had greatly 1 fluenced the youth of England, said that the mostworthy ambition which coul actuate a young man was the desire o have a voiee and take a- part in the overnment of his country. It was beca se of such a desire that he (Sir Jelin) ha voluntarily giVen up fortune and 'riches and in addition to those lie would rrender -even his own life if necessary order to sustain and strengthen Ole c use he had under- taken to advance—th t cause -which had noviso happily result d in the -formation of this great Dominic) . After the long service he had given to the public he could new come; forw rd and challenge friend or to, to sta e on the hustings before the people or in private discussion, that he had ever bee gnilty of an un- clean or disreputable Gt. In the United States they had 'seen ne judge dismissed and dying broken-hea ted, and another brought - to his deat -bed because im- proper conduct had b en -proved against them. ;There; too, th y saw cOrruption rife in all political p rtiesHiublic men depraved, officials pur hased, whole com- munities sold like she p in the shambles, and the public outrag d by such indecent venality.

It was his pride and. boast that he (Sir John) had endeavored to pursue the same course in Canada. He might without dishones Fordishonor have used occasionally the means of information possessed by es ery M inister of the the Crown, in er to amass a colossal fortune; but from the beginning of his political career he had laidclown this rule—and net only had he observed. it himself, but he -h, d insisted upon the ob- servance of it by hs colleagues—that no Minister of the (I own should naake one fna thing beyond t le salary which he de- rived from his office- If ever there had been a, suspicion 'or a doubt, or a charge to the contrary and sometimes there had been charges be had investigated the matter to the bottoin, and sometimes they might have seen that Ministers had disappeared from his Government. For the last five years he had been the firat Minister of the Dominion. He had en- deavored to . govern the country accord- ing- to the wish s and to promote the best interests of its people. He did not wean to say that he had been infallible. He would -not arrogate - to himself- any qiialityapproachi g perfection. The Gov- ernment was not omposed of angels.Its members were, at the most, human, with human wea ness, and liable to, err. He had DO hesita ion in saying that if be life—it recall t e acts of his political was very asy to be wise after the event- -there were seine instances; but not many, w ere he would act differ- ently and pursue mother path. In these instances, howeve , the errors bad been errors of the head and not of the heart; and he could sak ith siticerity—aa those who listen .d to him woeld agree with him if they gave. dueconsideration to human frailty-. -that in whatever re- spect he and his lovernment had acted at one time or ano her, it had been to the -best of ..their ju plea, to the best of their consciences, end with a due regard for their honor as ublic men. He there- fore knew that th people of Canada, be- ing erring men h ern selv es, would, in judging the chara ter aud conduct of the Government, hav a regard for the old Saying-- "Be to their /nits a little blind, And to their v rtues always kind." He (Sir John) wei t on to speak of the inconsistent and ind ece n t manner in which Catorge Bro vn with the Olobe and the pa -al', that si pported him, had in tarn atteinpted to stir up the prejudices and them reviled nd insulted both the Catholics and Pro estants of the country. In 1843-44 he had advocated and sup- perted a bill to pi t down Orange proces- sions, and not onl that, but to prevent Orangemen from eing witnesses or jury- -MOE .and from ho ding Offices connected with7the administ atlon of -justice. , He (Sir John) alias lit le more than.a boy at _ that time, but so trongly had hefelt at -this attempt to cis racize and degrede his brother Protestan s from Ireland thathe had gone and bee sworn in as au Orange- man on the spot.He had done -this, not because he approv a of such processions or of creating reli ious party feelings. of any kind, but bee use all classes had a right to. assemble ieaceablY together and • form processions, they pleased, and be- cause no class sho ild be excluded from office and treated as outcasts m conse- quence ..of .their religious -convictions. All should stand Ilion the same common ground of egnalit , and although he was -as true a Protes ant as lived, he felt that the sanrf lib rty he asked for him- self should be enj yed by his Catholic brother as well. George Brown . had maintained his ancour , against the Orangemen for $ veral years, but the act had been rope led through the in- strumentality of colleague of his (Sir John's) in .the Government, Attorney - General Drumnion , who was himself au Irish Catholic, am who had thus shown a praiseworthy c egree of liberality to which -Brown was. stranger.. Some years afterwards, who it seemed to suit Brown's purpose, be had attacked- the (1atholics with as ,reat viruleece en' he had before shown towards the Orauge- mem 'They woul all remember how he (Sir John) had be n charged with being a slave of the prie ts and a mere creature of Bishop Cbarbon id. In addition to all that, Brown had. a skilled • the hierarchy and institutions o the Catholic Church, as if they were th worst aud vileet pub- lic enemies. Thei nunneries had been characterized as everythieg. that was bad, their religio si• women had been charged with bein what they ought not to be; and every orm,of insult had been heaped upon the h ads of those who pro- fessed the Catholic faith. Yet, would they believe it, ti at this was the tame. man who, in order to effect the present elections,had sen round a circular at the bidding of the Catholic Leaguer tell- ing the Catholics f Ontario that he (Sir John) was too nge, too Protestant, and that he (Brow 1) was prepared to do , a great deal more "er them than the ex., isting Governnien . He (Sir John) hail been consistent th oughout—never mill- ing, to the ex bre es that had disgraced the leader of the 3-rit Party; and as a Minister of the Cr wn he had never been either an Orangem le or a- Protestant, or a Catholic, but he bad administered the Government with perfect impartiality, neither -serving no • repulsing any man because of his reli, ious oninions,"no mat- ter what they wei . After speaking in reply to questions rom the crowd in re- ference to the - su sidy paid to Nova Scotia, the Govei nor-G-enerars salary, the Scott murder and the Washington. Treaty, he referro to Mr. M. C. Camer- on, the late mem er for South Huron, Who Was again rui ning in the interest of tbe Grit party. If elected, Mr. Cameron, instead of co-opere ing with the Govern- ment :in inalgura police, which would cecourage and develop the salt and every other In erest of the country, would act with_ th Party in Opposition, Of which Mr. Bre n was the actual, and 'Mr_ Mackenzie only the ostensible lead- er. It would, pc: h: ps, be a safe assertion to make that Mr. lackenzie either had or soon would hay to abandon even the ostensible leaders ip of the Party, in which case it w uld again be openly I nianaged by Mr. B own, its real head and, I conductor. Tn. a h.ort time Mr. Mac - • kenzie Would. have, to choose between the House of Cominons and the Local Le4islature, and it :would not sUrprise hirh (Sir John) to learn that Mackenzie had been forced to yield his- position in the Dominion Parliamerit. Ilnd.eed, there wile hardly any other cou.tee open, for if he left the Local House; who was there to lead- the Party 'there, except poor Archie _McKellar, who was used un in reputation 'and everything else, bOdy,. bones- and breeches? He (Sir John) would regret Mr. Madkenzie's disappear- ance from the House of Commons, be- cause he could -not have a.better man to lead the Opposition against him. :When " he went into a fight 11 liked to win, and as long as he had Mr. Mackenzie oppos- ed tobbira he nra,s always , sure to win. For this reason, perhaps, Mr. Mackenzie would be consigned to the ocal Legisla- ture, where he might do on a pinch for a leader, but it was certainly calculated to cause an unpleasant feeling to sink from the lofty position of a leader of a great Party in Parliament, even althongh only a nominal leader, to that of a fugleman of the corrupt and blundering. Govern- ment of 'Ontario. He (Sir John), heorder to prove this to be the character of that sAdminieteation, referred. it some length to what he termed the shocking outiNes -upon 'electoral rights that had been per- petrated by that Government in Proton and elsewhere, and conclude(' by appeal- ing warmly to the people to suppoit Mr. Greenway, a steadfast adherent to the cause of Union and Progress.- , Causes ot MerOantile Fa4ures From an interesting lecture delivered by Mr. John •Macclonald, some Months ago before the Toronto Young !Men's Christian Association we extract fin in- teresting paragraph relating to business failures and the causes to which they are due. After giving statistics showing the number of failures in Canada abdthe United. States, Mr. Macdonald states his views as to the causesof thesemercantile mishaps, and it is in that portion -of the lecture that the following passage ()curs: Eighty per cent. of our failures ere the result of Extravagance. Don't be iiitartl- ed. ; that, Will be found to be nnder, rather lan over the mark. Extrava- gance is , disease which, though in some admitting V treatment, in others is in- curable. There are some who act, as soon as thephave obtained a credit, as though their fortune had been Made. Their business and 'home expenses as- sume -.proportions �f , unwarranted nature ; nor do_ they pause to consider whether such expenditure can be long maintained, or Whether it likely speed- ily to come to an end. Snell mon run their course in an incredibly short; time. When the end comes, they call it im- prudence. It is dishonesty, and nOthing . . else. 'rhere are many men in business td -day, milli) are building houses, buying lands, and living in a reckless and !extra- vagant style, oirthe strength of a icredit obtained for strictly business phrpeees. There are others who fail through ex- travagance, but do so more slowly ; tenipfed first to indulge in some Unwar- ranted expenditure, they resist- for a while, perhaps, but then yield. The ap- petite for further expenditure becomes a craving one, and as it increases the ability to resist it diminishes. ; They wavered, when they should have been •firm, vascilated wheii they should have resisted, and from thathour their down- ward course began. Supppse a young man who has recently commencedI•busi ness with.moderate capital, good Credit, and fair peospecte.. Things go on !.well. His wife, who knows little of buithess, but takes it for granted that he is 'doing well, puts in her claim, let us say for a piano. If he studied her happiness and his 9W11, his answer would be, " Gladly, when we can afford it, and a piano istool, and a music stand, ' and anything else that we really require; but we must wait patiently until it can be well afford- ed, without inconvenience to bueinrse, or without jeopardizing - the means of others." • Do not think that. I suppose an im- probable case. There are few falilures that take place in the country where you will not find a piano. among the house- hold furniture, and is a matter of 4ourse you are always! told that it belongs to the wife. , Now, he is the best husband who can. talk to his wife in this way, and she the best wife Who, fully appreciating. his motives, is contented with snch a ijeply'; and each soelenying themselves, , I due - time husband and 'Nrife with be buu- dantly rewarded. Ent the man yields, the piano is bought, for he says he can get this bill renewed. Then the carpets look :shabby, . and they must get new ones. - The furniture is old-fashioned, and thecurtains are faded, and when thf first step is taken it is the simplest mat- ter to glide into others equally .un4alled for Then follow the neglect of busi- n.ess ; the accuinulatiOn of bills ; th pro -- testing of notes; the stormilge of c eclit ; the loss of confidence; the meeti ig of creditors,; the visit of the sheriff s of- ficer; piano Nine, carpets and cu tains gone ; the man broken-spirite_d, b oken hearted.

I . - In Great Britain, where a very large amount . of business is transacted by travel, thousands Of young mea and their cnetomers have been ruined by the drink, ing usages of the road. A young man who is a commercial travellei need. not be a. drinker. Not need he; to Sell goods, offer drink to others. We would be glad if the commercial travellers of our young Dominiou and their customers would alike set their face against an evil which has already slain many bright, promising young men, and desolated so many happy homes, and show to the same class in the Old World that they can do business upou its own merits and .are opposed to practices, which,- though having the appearance of preseut profit, are but sowing the seed which can bring forth nothing but ruin and death. Many fail through speculation. They see those who -through long years of pa- tient industry have acquired position, influence and means, and whose trials, by the way, they know nothing of ; anddes- pising the slow but certain paths of their own business (the safest at all times), enter into some wild and reckless under- taking by which they expect to make a fortune immediately.

Not less ridiculons are some of the schemes into- which men run to-day,—with means not their own, but entrusted to them only for legitimate business purposes, bringing upon others loss, perhaps suffering, a.ral 'stamping themselves for all time to come as dan- gerous men whom it would be unsafe to trust, t, haVe u-0 '` Wall &re. et " here, and we are glad of it.
