POLITICAL MEETINGS.—A political meeting, called by Mr. Platt, was held at Kinburn, on Friday evening last. There was a large Meeting, and the ut- most' interest was manifested in the proceedings by those present.

The chair was taken by Mr. John Britton. Mr. Platt was the first speaker. He dwelt mainly on Protec- tion, and used pretty much th- same arguments in its favor that he used. at former meetings. He was followed by Mr. Horton, who delivered' an excellent speech, ably combatting Mr. Platt's ar- guments in favor of Protection, and proving that the present Government had ,earned by their economical arid honest management of public affairs a renewal of the confidence of the people. Mr. Horton was followed by Mr. Crabb, of Goderich, who was most effectively replied to by Mr. John McMillan, of Hullett. Dr. Coleman, of Seaforth; next spoke in favor of Mr. Platt, and was followed by Mr. McLean, of Sea - forth. Dr. Holmes, of Brussels, made the closing spech. He, like Mr. Platt, confined himselft almost exclusively to the question of Free Trade and Protec- tion.

A mot reliable correspondent sends the following respecting the meetings beld by Messrs. Farrow and Sloan in Howick. Ile says: Dr. Sloan's meet- ings in Howick have been very success- fuL vote in that town- ship will be considerably reduced. The "National Policy" does not seem to have many supporters there,even among the Conservative party. The meeting M Gorrie drill shed was attended by over 400 electors. Mr. Farrow in the most disgraceful manner brought up the cir- cumstances of Dr. Sloan's having sub- scribed $50 to the Blyth Roman Cath- olic Church, and entered. into a detail- , ed account of his having been twice tried therefor before the Orange Society with a view to his expulsion. As the sub- scription referred. to was given nearly three years ago, it shows to what straits Mr. Farrow is driven when he has to re- suscitate such a matter to prejudice, if possible, the Howick Orangemen against his opponent. The Dr. was met at Fordwich, tile next night with the cry "who put tlie cross on the Catholic Church," but notwithstanding such un- worthy electioneering dodges he is going to poll a splendid vote in Howick. The .Behnore meeting was enlivened by a lawyer from Toronto, One Meek, who discoursed the audience to sleep upon the dreary generalities of protection.
