And in later days the soldiery of this country have proven themselves to he true defenders of thie country. Now, Mr. Chairman, ladies and gen- tlemen, I shall finish by these few remarks, and tell you I reel just as much at home in the 'battle eld of Lundy's Lane, Ontario, amongst you, as I do amongst my triends in the county of Quebec where they have returned me for the past eighteen years as their representative. SEVENTY YEARS AGO. Another eloquent French Cana- dian in his contestation of the west I ward of Montreoil just as heartily voiced the loyalty of Canadians of Freuch decent. This was no less a Although of F' a Canadian, an flag that thos here defender :That same fl del of Quo, descendant of that province, like himself, knew no other flag but tbitt one. They love their country and their Queen, and proved it in the time of the troubles that gathered us together to -day. Were there not tempting offers made the French ? Did not they resent them and stand -true to the flag that gave all the liberty thatee people may wish for? Sir Adolphe also spoke on the unity . that should exist among all glasses of Canadians for the general welfare of -all. He was proud he was a.Cana- dian. He knew no Scotch, 'Irish, English or French -it was Canadian flret and last with him. He spoke on the history of the past, and said weehould instill it into the hearts of our young, so that they may piok up the destinies of our country when we leave off; and extend the right hand ef.good friendship to our friends across the border. He spoke of• them es•having a good constitution and a !great people, but we had a better .constitution for the good a( our people and a greater country. (dear, hew When the people of that country came across our borders they met )nen who handled their rifles like patriots fighting for their country. Canadians remained true to the/flag of England. We sue. ceeded then because we were united as can be seen on,the pages of the history of our statesmen. The names of:,French and English stand side by side. We remained true to ourselves by doing so. I strive to unite the different people of this country; this is the aim of my life and my co -patriots of Quebec, and when you see the Canadian flag •attacked you will find es many French named to defend it as any other, be it in eitker Quebec or On- twrlo, or any ,other portion .of .tide Dotuinion. (Loud applause.) 4. stto•iid like fo,say a9 you all must know, •L few words as regards the soldjery,of our country. No country rias any better reason to be proud of its soldiery than Canada. ilevo Lhey pat I,jjcJ Ion the sword and t0t.op ench descent, he was loved the old British who were sleeping 75 years ago to -day. g floated over the cita ec, and the French personage thou M. Yapiueau. Ho indicated tho advanta'j;eti they de- rived from British rule as follows: - "Not many days,"st td M. Papineau, "have elapsed since ere assembled on this spot for the same purpose as that which now calls us• together-. the choice of representatives ; the opportnity of that choice being•. caused by a great national calamity -the decease of that beloved Sover- legit who had reigned over the inhabitants of this cougrltry since the day they became British subjects ; it is impossible not to expresss the feeling of gratitude for the many benefits received from him, and those of sorrow for bis loss, so deeply felt in this, as on every other portion of his extensive dominions. And haw conld it be otherwise, when each year of his long reign has been. marked by new favours bestowed upon .the country? To en•tmerate these, ,and to detail the history of this country for so many years, would occupy more time than can be spared by those whom I have the honour to address., it then at *glance to compare our present 'happy situation with that of our fathers on the eve of the day when George the Third beoarne their legit imate monarch., Suffice it to recol- lect; that under the French govern ment, (internally'' and externally arbitrary and oppressive,) the inter- ests of this country had been tuore constantly neglected and mal -ad- ministered than any other part of its dependencies. In its estimation,. Canada seems not to have been cons sidered as a country which, from fertility ot'soil, salubrity of climate, and extent of territory, might have been the peaceful abode of anutn,r- ous and happy population, but as a military post whose feeble garrison was condemned to live in a state of perpetual warfare and insecurity, frequently suffering from famine, without trade, or a trade monopo- lized by privileged companies, public and private property often pillaged, and personal liberty daily violated ; when year after year the handful of inhabitants settled in this. province were dragged from their homes and farnilies, to shed their blood, and carry murder and havoc from the shores of the great lakes, the Mississippi rind the Ohio, to those of Nova Scotia,. Newfoundland, and Il tdson's ei3ay. Such was the. situation of our+.ft'thers ; behold the change ! George the Third, a sove- reign revered for his moral character, attention to his kingly duties, and lore of his subjects, succeeds to Louis XV., a prince then deservedly despised for his debauchery, his inattention .to the wants of his people., and his lavish profusion of the public monies upon favourites an,t mistresses. From that day the reign of the law succeeded to that of violence. From that day the treasures, the navy, and the armies of Great Britain, are mustered to afford us an invincible protection agatost external danger. From that day the better 'Bart of her laws became ours ; while our religion, property, and the laws by which they were governed, remain unalter od. Soon after are granted to us the privileges of its free constitution, an •infallible pledge, when acted upon, of our internal prospeeity. Now religious toleration; trial by jury (that tvisest of safeguards.,ever devised for the protection of inno. cence) ; security against arbitrary imprisonment, by the privileges attached to the writ of Habeas Corpus ; legal and equal security afforded to all, in their person, honour, and property ; the right to obey no other laws than those of our own making and choice, expressed through our representatives : -all these advantages bave become our birthright, and shall, I hope, be the lasting inheritance of our posterity. To secure them let us only act as Br.tieh subjects end freemen." • Some people won't road for them- selves and won't he told of )natters a knowledge of which duos not come by intuition. THE NEWS•RECORD has read and re -read the Coustitution, Mr. Mercier's Grit Jesuit Act and the opinions of the ablest statesmen and jurists on the alleged conflict between this provincial Act and the constitution. We could come to no other conclesion than that the Jesuits eiet, which we are free to admit we ore prejudiced against, is constitutional. The reply of the Governor-General to a disallowance deputation, last Friday, which we give in another column, covers the ground the have taken. Ilis Excel, lency, surely, is not seeking the Catholic vote,and he declares that disallowanco,is impossible, being in- compatible with a proper regard for thoconstit.ntion which it is his especial ditty to guard.

Our town camp. is certainly in- oorrigibly mendacious. Its persist- ence -ia falsehood ouly injures it the mote.

Uurestrieted reciprocity is the only thing that will relieve the FARMERS AND RESTORE VALVES TO THEM DEPRECIATED PItoPERTY i 7. The burden gets too hard to bear - no wonder we feel blue. We appeal to its columns in proof, Tus NEWS RECORD objected to the above statements at the times the' were made, which we can prove by, our own culu inus,aud the Era, did unt then deuy them. Why 1 Because they were too fresh in the minds of its readers. It now trusts to the lapse of time to cover up its slan- ders. While we hold the Era re- sponsible fur the most unpatriotic seutiwents the have quoted, and )hundreds of others which might be furnished, we do not now hold and never have held that the majority of Reformers approved of its dia- tribes attempting to show up the helplessness . and hopelessness of Canada tailless Confederation was burst up ; unless Ontario withdrew frunl Coufederatiuu, or this country is annexed to the United States, or we get unrestricted reciprocity, or abolish the existing franchise s, -s. tem, or do away with the legalized robbery of eustows exactions, etc. \Ve say, that though the Era has lessly and tiresomely harped upon these strings for years back, we arc free to confess that many of its friends have taken no stock in such views. Bat it has given e.4 pression to such views and we will prove it or pay a forfeit. ‘Ve are utterly astounded, as also must the readers of the Era be, to find it repudiatiug what is locally so well kuown. The utter unrelia- bility of that journal is now as well established as that the situ will ehine. Its denials, notwithstanding the heat of these dog days, exhibit a frigilly of cheek' accompanied by a inoral strabismus that,whilo rofrosh• iug,is painful to behold. Trtttli, like lightning, ever should appear To few"ulen's ruin, but to all tnau's fear. Now, while sticking fur the truth we have no desire to injure the Era, our main object is to get it to stick to hard pan facts when discussing publio questions. Its language has often been virtually, treasonable. Even the paltry soma ;appropriated for the volunteers it has held was money uselessly spout ; and only a few weeks ago it Sneeringly referred to the want of enthusiasm in this Rue, as though the Cauadians were so helpless that there was no use of attempting to defend ourselves, or so hopelessly sunk in despair that no enthusiasts could be evoked in behalf of those who would volunteer to defend our country. But our toteme missed the mark iu its esti- mate of the prosperity and loyalty of the people of this country. It has not been successful iu its estimates and prophecies. Had it been sue• cessfnl its squinting towards trea- son would have been condoned, probably.. Not having been suc- cessful it is placed in an ugly,_ plight. Treason doth never prosper ; what's the reason 1 For if it prosper, none dare cul!' it treason. EDITORIAL NOTES. Tho young. Grits of Toronto hive invited Hon. Mr. Laurier, the lender of their party in the Commons, to speak ire Toroutu some time this ball. He tivill,doubtless, compliutent thorn on their conspiracy of silence, as a party, anent the condemnation of the seventy-three Grit M's. P. who voted against disallowance, and on their infinite tact, individually, iu howling against the horrid Tories for giving the very s.une vote as their friends. 1f those people who appear so anxious about Equal !Lights are sincere they •will enroll themselves in tho tanks of the Cuusorvativea whore there is (Cchanco to carry out their alleged views. And they will find work right hero in Outer- in without going to Quebec. Reform, like charity, should begin at home. Especially in school matters is there work .for rrfQI'm a;ll'Ontario. Neither catholic nor protestant is right before tho law, FrQteetant8 in Ontario, in school mattere, have not equal rights with gatholics, auto independent catholice have not equal rights with clergy ridden ones. Our school lawsnbed amend• went in the interests of both protea- taut and catholic. The New Era bus Many titues referred to the helpleasuess of•Cana- diens, we being only 5.000,000 as compared to our neighbors 50,000,- 000. A very stuall kid with the aid of Sullivan could, no doubt thump Kilrsin. Canada May be a small kid hut, with the aid of Great Britain, whoever attacked us would surely get a pretty severe thumping. There are a few "Equal Righters" about. Of all the humbugs extant or defunct the so-called "Equal Ilightera" are the biggest. If those gond people who are wasting their energies in pushing with so little success the new fad would study up the liiiueiplets of the Conservative party,they would find them now what they have atway been, the most liberal embodiment 'Of equal right's extant. ' TO ttttentpt to organize au Equal Rights party, wheu a body like the Conservative party is saline• ly in existence said eery much alive, Id as senseless a9 to build a fifth wheel to'run, to ,coach, wheal the' ueceasary four' wheels are iu goo l order ; ur like hunting 'for'1 toma hawk to chop down a giant tree whet] a live pound axe is within reach. A Miserable resort of journals not able to sq i !rely refute a statetneul,, is to set up another of its own coiu? ago and then knock it down. We last week said that our cutout. ap• ln•uvin;,ly .published letters address- ed ldress•od to it containing. such treesouabte language, nu the eve of the Riel rebellion, as "1)o not bo surprised "if you hear of a rebellion up hero. "WE ARE GETTING RIPE FOR IT." Our colon). now says we "charged it with "expressions glade use of by corros- "pondeuts over their own gigue - "tures." The dishonesty of our cotom. is here quite apparent. We did not charge it with having made the treason laden expression above quoted. But we did, say and now say that it approvingly published such expression, and we adhere to this. And we would not be fou' wrong in attributing the treasonable expression to the Era when it ap- provingly published it. Referring to the rebellion it said•: "It is quite 'blear that had • the government "taken ordinary precautions the re - "hellion would never have taken "place." Its approval. of rebel grievances and doings drew from so staunch a grit as Mr. A. Matheseu "You had many things in the .New "Era that were not, true." And then as to the"ordinary precautions." Au efficient militia force is ono. And this is how our cotetn viewed the' precautiou some time before :- "\Vhen the entire volunteer force is "disbanded and the money usually "spent on it devoted to some other "use, the country and the people "will be all the better for it." That is, rebelliou and treason could run riotously rampant. Our totem. could then "Burst un this Coufed- "eration, or annex this country to "the United States." CURRENT TOPICS. citt1T VERSUS Otter.

During ' the last ten years the lepoeits in t.ht+ post office savings hanks have increased from $3,000,• 000 to $23,000,000, These deposits have been alinast exclusively glade by people of 'small means,. and ,the fact that they have grown ao en- ormously during the past 'decade •afloris little support for the argue meet of those preachers of despair who see, no hope in the future of Canada.
