TER WORTH ONTARIO ELECTION
- S
ityent to the cciiintry a few Weeks
ago that *. .Brown,contrery to his own
,personal inclinations, had consented to
take office in thel.Ct'ewMinistry, in -Order
that the full - weight of his undoubtedly
great inftuence might b.?„, thrown into the
negotiations relative to the important
Constitational Changes proposed,it Seemed
to be a :foregone cenclusion that neither
he nor the reforin,colleagueS lie might
select would wetwith opposition, The
very nature of the compact entered- into
by the leaders a the ••two greit political
partieS bears out thie idea. Mr. Johe-.A.
3.1cDonal4, on the ;floor of the Irouse, de-
scribed it ae, " mutual compromise,"
- and when 31r. Brown had concluded his
moldy speech on the • subjeCti men who
had bitterly opneseel him for years,pressed
forward to shake hands, -anti to 'convince
him in the most earnest manner that, they
*ere willing, for the time being, at least,
to "-bury the hatchet"' and enter cordial-
ly Into the great work of woik.
Which, if carried out sincerely and
effi-
cient1y would: be the means of establish-
ing a new era iti_the history of Canada,
and by creating increasod unity of action,
tend to elevate our country to= --the prond
position of established Nationality. A
crisis liad arrived, and, warned by the
example- of other countries, Tory, Conserv-
ative and Reformer, saw, or thought they
law, in the sudden advent of geed feeling,
an opportunity of bringing abonta Revo-
intim', peaceable in its nature and most
- hopeful in its probable tesdits. We are
*aware tlett a consilerable: number of the
_
supporters of Mr. Brown threughtut the
country deprecatedhis- course in electing
. to join the Coalition, and; would have
been gratified had he refused the offers
• made to him but, after alI„ was it not
. better that; wheu the' conservative leaders
• declared their willingness to undertake
• conjointly with Upper' Canadian liberals
the great work of fOrever- disposing Of the
eeeltienal disputes which have so long ex,-
isted, the refOrm tnemters of the House
should,manifest a disposition -6 meetthem
"half way? Had they refusal the offers
made, or hadi they indignantly spurned
the idea of partially sicking old party
lines, then. their opponents would: have
had a atanding argument- against those
who, had. frequently asserted that they
would accept of the reforms' that advocat-
ed come from what quarter they might,
and it might have.been said* oftitem that
they preferred' party aggrandizement to
the welfare of the country at large. • -
If, as a pre -requisite to succes.sin car:
rying out the definite objects for which it
was formed, the primary basis - of the
Coalition. is to be ti hearty' unity of pur-
.
pose, we must-. say that the, opposition to
Mr. M'Dougall in North Ontario ie not
reticulated to do away with the last dregs
of political- asperity. Mr, M'Dougall was
• cbosen by Mr. Brown as one.. -Of hie col-
leagues, and the cOnservative .party is
morally bound torefrain . from. oppoting
him. It is true therMr. Cameron bases
• his opposition on pnrely personal grounds,
but, weask, what has personal ',feeling to
do with the great issue now befote the
country? When J. A. M'Donald, Galt
and Cartier have eviaeed a desire t�: fore-
go ill personal considerations and work
with the Reform party to secure_ what
they consider' a boon to the country-, is it
__Imanly, or does it appear fair, for Mr. M.
0. Camerdn to step in and endeavor, by
all means in his power,to throw_ an 9b -
stack itt the way or harmoioui govern-
ment which must; ill case he defeats the
Provincial Secretary, throw us back. into
. a atiq,e, of anarchy and confusion-. Mr,
M'Dougall, we are aware, is personally
distasteful to a large number of conserve --
Alves, but surely not more. se than are
Mesas Brown and. Mowat; and, indeed,
we believe the latter would have been
opposed -had there been any thence of

of the numbers ofneedle women in New

P. 31-., for less than forty -cents. There
are thousands in this wretehed condition,
scarcely, able to keep body- and- soul to
gether, while household 'servants . are
ha.erdsomely Paii.1 and not by any means
oierburdened with work. • The . writer
'urges on good women ' to choose good wages
and easy work rather than the shabby
genteel starvaion of siwing. Good ser-
vants are scarce, -• whereas needle wom_en.
are, over abundant The, explanation is,
that slavery has led the Americans, North

service as a degredation..

'Augustenbergi widen the borders ef
Volle-
rup, over Tainting and letmljerg, in the sable
harbor of Horup-Hav. The loss aril's has
been looked forward to at a' probable even!,
even by those who did not consider it inevi-
table; and the Governnient had, as liaformed
,
you, taxen, on Saturday last, the precautrop
of bending a good number of 'transport ships
'to Horup-Hae to embark the 'troops in the
event of a reverse, and if it were practicable..
What chances there way be of the ultimate
escape of the Danes front the island, We have
not yet the Means of ascertaining. The two
contending grimes are 'riming a race to
Hotup-Hav, and, although the Danes have
taken thashortest road, their enemies seem to
have over them the advantage of a large
body of cavalryeted light artillery.. . Should
even the Danes make the best of their start,
and thus outstrip their pursuers, theymight
be so closely pressed as to find- it ImpoSsible
to ember* on the -spot. In such an emergency
they would have to continue :their flight, be-
yond Horup-Hav, Along the - waterside, -by
Shovhy, down to the narrow, sandy isthmus
which joins the little peninsula of liegnms, or
Kalintes, to the mainland of the lsle of Alsen,
that peninsula Which encloses thebeautiful
sheet of water of liorup.Hav. The sandy
isthmus above mentioned is a mere strip= of
land made up hy.the road and by. a .narrow
beach an either side, hardly asbrosal as the
road itself, and it ia seseral yards in length.
Were the Danes able to 'reach :the isthmus
they could defend it against great odds, and
their rear Could stand their ground Ott that
sprit long eiriegh to enablethe main body Of
the:fugitives to embark on the southern shbre
of tke peninsula at Soederby and Oa erby.
The mouth of Hortipi-Har would sobn be in
the hands nf the Prussians, • whos moving in
the footsteps of the fugitives, would tak

evenwith field batteries; soon prevent the

however, these transports he anchored outside
the bay, or should they weigh anchor before
the mouth of the -hay fallsointo Prussian
hands, there is nothing to hinder the Daiwa
•froni effeetifig their escape, and the enemy
could, at the utmost, only take these men at
the rear on whom would devolve the duty of
defendingthe sandy isthmite of liegenaes. A
firm faith prevails at the War Office here that
the -whole of the Danish force have it in
their.power to, embark, and they look forward
- to no other lossthan that ofthe dead and
wounded. - The •posaion seems to me, 'nevet-
aheless, extremely critically And if the Danes
actually givelthe Prussians the ilipy such a
consummation must at least be as much as-
cribed to slowness on the part of the latter
