Alexander Mackenzie and Blake did When they were in power. And now they are .not asking the province to elect their meinbers by it, but the Province think. the Dominion should elect members under' their Bill. 'Then the crime of taking away the _liberties of the people by appointing Revising Bar- risters, yetseewhat liberties Ontario took' away. They took the poweil to appoint' all Division Court clerks and bailiffs, and hotel inspectors and*com- missioners from the people, and they have appointed about every sixth Re- former a- magistrate t� receiVe the statutes at the public expepse, and some of those magistrates thus appointed can- not be compelled to pay their debts. But it is a great crime for a Conserva- tive Government to appoint an officer, and all officers thee appointed are rogues, thieves, &c. Again, I maintain the Dominion Franchise Bill is fairer than the Ontario. We will take for in- stance the Farmers' son's clause.; Dr. Coleman for instance, owns more pro- perty than most of farniers, yet his sons cannot vote, while a .man on a - rented farm probably not worth $200, can have time or four sons to vote if the farm is 'assessed high enough. Again the owners -; cannot vote , ouly where they reside. Dr. Coleman, -the Messia. Case, D. D. Wilson, W. M. Gray and others, owning 'property in several Ridings, can vote only in one, and Dr. Qdlenuin has tenants on his property in townships, who are assessed so as to do the statute laborr but the doctor pays the taxes, and he cannot votenfider the new Ontario Bill for a Councillor or Reeve out of Seaforth;. yet his tenants can, who may not be worth .50 cents, shirt, boots and coat into the bargain, and this is true of some. Nciw, just count how many of the wealthiest men in Seaforth will -be deprived of votes in townships where they _have to pay taxes, and how many living in the county, paying taxes in Seaforth, cannot have a say in appoint- ing the men who levy the taxes under the Ontario Act. You state John A. sb.ria Big Bear, Pi -a -Pot and Pound - maker would have votes; Why did not the Globe and EXPOSITOR. tell us all, he said. He said Strike-Him-on-the-13eck, too, would have a vote. No doubt, bat Hon. E. Blake saw the joke, and many of ydur readers are Irish enough to see the joke, too; but, a book entitle& "Scottish Characteristics" states , a Scotchnian cannot see, a joke for.o, week or more.

DEAR EXPOSITOR,—The capture of Riel and the prospect of an early settl meet of the itrouble in the Northwes have in a measure dispelled the feelilig of suspense and uncertainty which has hung around us for the past twamonths. As e consequence, our townsmen have resumed business with renewed vigor, and we are besieged with carpenters, and the boom of haanmer and saw can be heard on every street. We notice Wilcox & Co. general merchants, have enlarged, and are otherwise improving their premises, which when completed will add greatly to the appearance of the town- as well as to their own conveni- Prints4 ence. Also Mr. J. Wilson has just com- pleted a substantial and commodious building, where he intends to keep a full assortment of books, stationery- and fancy goods. Mr. .A. E. Smith has just removed into his new boot a,nd shoe shop and is new in a position to give Every lady reqnirlig any of the above emumtrated goods, should not NI to.. call alit eXamine same d prices a't tite Cheap Gash Store ROFFMAN- • BROS.,,.

Amongst those to the south we notice our worthy reeve, A. G. McDougall, Esq., of Gopher Cottage, formerly of Seaforth, has got ahead of _his neighbors in this respect, ,a,nd has already his premises surrounded with ornamental trees of different varieties. Messrs. Boverly & Rutledge, in our im- mediate vicinity, hail from England, and are lacking in neither enterprise nor energy. They have under cultivation 600 acres, which, judging from present ap- pearance, will be a magnificent crop. If the unhappy rebellion has been the means of deterringenen of this cla-es from coming amongst us, it must indeed haye been a damage to our country, but as the worst is now over we hope the tide of emigration will soon again begin to &W. Amongst those to , the north we ,will merely mention, the names of a few of the most prominent, who are chiefly the route, Hamilton, Godetich, Newcastle y daily stages, leads through Galt, Woodstock, London, Stratfard, Guelph, Toronto, Brigh ton eNapan ee, Kingston, ends by steamet, among the Thousand Isl, and rettua to Niagara.
