DEAR Sin : I saw by your last pal-3[er a
part of a letter that 1 sent t the Exeter
Theta. You did not (rive it as I did. :I
said that Mr. Elliot, of G elph, who is
very intelligent and obligin -r gentleman ,
the other was Mr. Carroll, • f Strathroy,
who had previen.sly been there and
bought a farm and was then moving his
family. You also said tha saw nine
trees 2 feet through and fro a 5 to 7 feet
. high. In my letter I said hey were 2
feet through and from 50 to 70 feet high.
By. correctiug the above vo will oblige
yours,&c., les Nine.

MR. CAMERON'S ADDRESS.
to the Electo*o of South lituro,fl.
GENTLEMEN i The position of menah6.
of Parliament for the South ,Riding of
the County of Huron, to which you elect-
ed me in August, 1872, having become
vacant by the reeent dissolution of the
House of Commoris, at the earnest solici-
tation of many of the electors, represent-
ing all classes and. all shades of politieal
opinion, I again pla e myself at your dis-
posal, and. eolie a -renewal et that con-
fidence which 0.' 87 oformer occasions
troi generously placed in me.
Objections have been made to the
course the -present. Government have
thenght itadvisable in the interest of
honest legislation and. public morality to
pursue in dissolvarg Parliament. Gentle-
to.en now in Opposition,- and who in the
late Parliament supported the present
leader of the Opposition, object that the
Governmeht should have met Parlia-
ment, should liavednitieted tharequired
legislation and at leapt attempted to
carry on. the Government of the country
withpie present -House, and if they fail-
ed in satisfactorily so doing, then ap-
pealed to the electoral body.
The objection is a plausable one on the
surface, but n, calni retrospect of the
past, a monaent's-reflection as to the as-
teundane state of political mora,litY de.
velapeeby the Pacific Scandal investiga-
tion, will, I think, convince every rea-
sonable and thinking man, who has at
heart the welfare of his country, that no
course was open to the Government but
an appeal /tow to the honest electors , of
Canada. You can't expect a pure stream
from an impure zonrce—no more can you
expect pure :and honest legislation from
a Parliament elected by the grossest acts
of coireption and by the moet eutrage-
ous violations of law and the constitu-
tion. ' The late Premier admitted - on
oath, and the fact was abundantly
eatablishecl by documentary evidence,
that on the eve ot the late general elec-
tion he received fora a public contractor
(who subseque tly. obtained the Pacific
Railway Charte ) a large Bum- of money
for the avowed/ purpose of debauching
and corrupting the electoral body. It is
further admitted that a large number of
the members constituting the late Par-
liament obtained their seats by means of
the fund_ thee corruptly obtained for cor-
rupt purposes. ; . •
• The moral sense of the country having
been thus otitra,ged, and the constitution
of the country having been thus violated,
it became the duty of the existing GO-
ernment to give the people an opporturd-
ty of pronouncing at the polls upon these
flagrant acts of maladministration and
arliament of the element so H-
O rreptly admitted,
epared to sustain,. the Govern -
he toutse they have thus ecivis-
coafidentty appeal -to you, the
onest electors of South Huron,

I am replared to sustain the Govern-
ment as long as they pursue a vigorous
and stat 'manlike polots with respect to
our Pub ic Works, Harbors, Canals .and.
Jlaflroacls and the development of the:re-
sources 'f this great .country of ours,
and, no longer.
• I am tepared to sustain them hi ele-
vating theeatandited of public morality
and in colducting the affairs of this coun-
try on-hoaest and economical principles.
I am prepared to sustain them in acts
of wise legislation, ,in advancing the in-
terests f our common country, in ;re-
moving all sectional jealousies, in over-
comingall local prejudices and generally
in consolidating the union and building
up and Maintaining British power and
British connection on this continent.
am Prepared to sustain them iu
establishtig ,a more thorough system of
trial of ctions by judges, in adopting
the systcmof Voting by ballot, in pass -

makiiiit a penal offence to give or re-
ceive a'be-. or of eMploying any und.ue
)'
or iflipi4pper means to infinence thd free
exevcis4 of the franchise.
I am p epared to sustain them in COfl-
tructinh o. railroad from Thunder,. Bay
to Fort C arrY and in utilizing our vast
inland seis in connection with that rail-
way as . means of communication be-
tween Otario and the great North_

..
am prepared to give them a general sup-
port.- But; the moment they deviate
from the line ' e of action I have thus hast-
ily and sh,rtly sketched, that Moro.ent I
shall be p epared to condemn them as
freely and ecirdially as I did the late
Governmert in their acts of maladmin-
istration.
Believing that f represent the views
of the majerity of you, the independent

I shall at atl times give support to all
measures that will have a tendency to
attract emigration to our shores, so that
the many resources of the almost bound-
less acres that a bertefieent Providence
has placed at our disposal may be util-
ized and developed.
I shall give an unqualified support to
an improved. Election law, simultaneous
polling, vote by ballot, the rigorous pun-
ishment of those who give or receive
bribes, add-in short everything that will
have a tendency:to purify the use of- our

FIRE. --St. George's Cabinet Factory,
owned by T. L. Fox; of West Moncles
ton and. leased by Messrs. Pierson
Vrooman, was completely destroyed.
by fire at about half -past 11 or 12 o'clock,
Tuesday night The owner of the
building and engine had no iaisurance.
The lessees had $1,,200 on machinery, in
Niagera Mutut1 -itheir loss will be about
$2,500, after deducting insurance Mr
Fox's loss, ,about $2,000. Men bah been.
at work in. the faCtory until Within two
hours of the occurrence, and rt-tport all
seentingly safe whenthey left. Still, it
is supposed. some accidental. spark must
have ignited before they left the shop,,
although not discovered. The building
being frame andthe whole materials com-
-bustible in their nature, nothing could
save it after the Jim got headway. Sev-
eral of the men have lost valuable sets
of tools. Altogether, it is a scrim's cal-
amity, as it afforded employment to sev-
eral hands, and the proprietors were all
most deserving eitizone.
