The adjourned meeting for the forma-
tion, of the above society was held on
Monday .evening, in Mr. Manning's la*
office . There spas a good attendance,�and
about- twenty gave in their names as mem-
bers: J. Craib, Esq., was voted to the
chair ; Mr, A. M. Taylor, ou behalf of the
committee appointed last meeting, re-
ported a• draft constitution, which, after
amendments, was adopted. The discus-
aionon the constitution and the general
working of the society, proved that we
have quite a number of ready and effective
speakers amongst our young men. It was
deemed advisable to proceed with the
electionof officers• at once, which was ao-
cordiugly done, and resulted as follows :
Presidlsnt, D. A, Forrester, Esq., Mayor
of Clinton ; Vice Presidents, Messrs, J.
Qraib, Dr. Williams and W. E, Cart-
yright, L.D.S, ; Seo.-Treas., R. F3olmes ,•

ning, A. M. Taylor, A. Weir, G. MoTag-
gart and T. White. The nomination of
Mayor Forrester, which wait moved by G.
MoTaggart, and seconded by A. M. Taylor;
• was received with applause, which was
again renewed upon his unanimous elec-
tion. ' To the managing committee will be
intrusted the work. of preparing a pro-
gramme for the meetingsof the society,
and .deoidiarti upon the holding of, open'
n eetings. The debates and discussions
- will be carried on by the society resolving
itself into a mock Rouse of Commons,
and for ,this. purpose a Premier ° to form a
Government, and a Leader for the Oppo-
sition,- were chosen,: the choice being
Messrs, A. H. Manning and A. M. Taylor
respectively: The Premier has the selec-
tion of four or five colleagues, • and . the
.Opposition Leader an. assistant. The sub-
jects to be debated will. be introduced in
a speech :from the throne, which will -be
delivered at the next meeting: Wo un.
derstand. that• all questions likely: to intro-
duce any ill feeling will be rigidly exelud-
ed. If, at the conclusion ?of the debate en
any subject, the vote of the House should
be adverse to the position taken by the
Government, they will resign and be re-
placed by the Opposition. At the time of
writing the list of members reaches thirty,
includinga number of our leadingcitisens,
thus placing the success of the society be-
yondall doubt.. The next meeting willbe
held in the same place, on Monday even-
ing next, at 8 oclock.'
