CLINTON, APRIL 16, 1 8 7 4.
Ateeeleding to previous announcement
we present our readers with the first
copy of the new edition of the Naw ERA,
and hope it will meet with a hearty
welcome from all our old friends, as
we feel convinced it will, and that our
new readers will receive it in such a
spirit as to permit them to give it a
fair and impartial trial, as we are de-
termined to conduct our journal in
Such a manner as to show that our end
and aim is to advance the interest of
all, without bent or bias, but in the
direction of right, believing that we
are sufficiently independent to advocate
the cause of right and justice, and con-
demn the wrong, free from party in-
fluence.
We are of those who believe that
whatever is for the good of one is for
the good of the whole, for that which is
not for the good of the whole, cannot
be for the real good of one, as any ap-
parent advantage to one party at the
expense of another is really a detriment
to both parties; we, therefore, shall not
take for our motto, "The greatest good
to the greatest number," but tho greatest
good to all, irrespective of party or personal
interest. If in the past, we have labored
iiii the ranks of a party, we did not do
so for the mere purpose of upholding
it as a party. but for the attainment of
objects that were for the good of the
.0I?untry at large.
'We do not care what name any class
soT nen are called, if their efforts are
•ut forth in the right direction,
and floe right direction in politics is to
labor for the formation and support of a
government that will give the greatest
return of progress, prosperity and hap-
piness for the lout possible outlay.
As it will be to our own advantage
promote the material interest of our
ens, we shall always be watching
portunities to do so, determined
no labor or expense shall be want-

PROTECTION.
There appears to be a move through-
out the country to inaugurate a syatem
of protection, or more properly speaking
the impomilion of a tax upon the consu•
ener of certain commodities for the bene
t of' the producer of said commodities,
a I legieg, that the progress and prosperity
-of the country is dependent upon the es
rtablishmeirt of such A SyStelll. This
eveetion has been marred at the instance
of a few intereatel parties, who care
more for their ovea private interests
than for the benefit of the whole pro-
vince, caring not who suffers so long as

occupied the at
stud country to a
ithout aa yet, ar-
riving result. Through
the connivance of friends ke has been
enabled to sign tho, roll and take the
oath as a member #f Parliament, with-
out permitting hi lf to be arreated by
the officers of jut( e. Opposition pa-
avoring to make
pers have been
elepetal out of thiefe; nd stating that .the
Government do hof intend to carry out
the views they held while out of power.
Wbetber they ,will or not we cannot
.yet tell, but we do know that if they
do not they will forfeit the support of th 3
Reformers of Ontario. But we have a
good opinion of them, and believe that
they will not be found backward in ac-
ting up to the letter and spirit of their
professions in this matter while out of
P°" er. It is no easy matter to arrest
Riel while surrounded by such a host of
friends as he appears to have, and in a
section of country where he can so easily
be stowed away. The fact that he is
leading the life of a fugitive is sufficient
to prove that he, at least, is afraid that
the law would be allowed to take its
course, and if founci.guilty suffer it ex-
treme penalty.
Bowell has given notice of a
motion to expel Riel from the House,
which it was intended to bring up on
Monday last, but was postponed till
Wednesday. When this is done it is
said that an affidavit made by Biel will
be presented, setting forth that the
rediton he has not taken his seat is be-
cause he has reason to believe the
Orangemen have determined to take his
life. If he believes this, the best thing
for him to do is either to flee the country
or surrender himself into the hands of
justice, and submit his case to a court
of law. That he will take his seat in
the House is quite out of the question,
as the western section of the country is
wholly opposed to it, and no member
would risk his popularity by voting in
his favor.
The question of an amnesty has been
fully diacusaed, Archbishop Tache oc-
cupying near twenty closely printed
columns in striving to prove that an
amnesty had been promised by the late
Government ; but the evidence is wast•
ing to prove it. Sir John A. and some
of his friends have always absented
themselves when this matter is brought
up in the House, apparently ns being
afraid to meet questions that might be
put.
The French in Quebec are making it
a personal question, and will set a mark
upon every one of their members who
vote against Riel, and will oppose the
Crovernrnent to a man if an amnesty is
not granted. If possible the question
will be en open one, so that all may
vote whichever way they like, without
interfering with the atarading of the
Go 1r r rnment.

THE L., H. AM/ H. RAILWAY.
The committee of Great Western
skareholders, who are inveseigating the
affairs of that Company in this Proviuce,
arrived here laat Monday, abeut 3 p.m.,
having driven from London, in company
with Sir Keith Johnston, Director of
* 0. W. Company, the Hon. John
.•e
ilarling, John Birrel, Esq., Preaident,
and C. P. Smith, Esq., Director, of the
L., 11. et B. Company. The party were
met hero by R. Callender, Esq., Reeve
of Clinton, P. Kelly, Esq., Reeve of
Morris, mid several other gentlemen
who have taken an interest in promoting
the new railway. A conversation took
place, in which tho capabilities of the
country, and the amount of traffic which
it could furnish to the new line, were
diacussed. The members of the
committee expressed, a very favor-
able opinion of the country betwetn
London and Clinton, which they
said was the finest tract they had seen
in Canada. With regard to the con-
struction of the line from London to-
Wingliam, they gave no decided intima-
tion of their views, but expressed the
hope that some arrangement satisfactory
to all parties would be made, After a
stay of about two hours, the party left
by special CRT of the G. W. Railway, to
which the Grand 'Limit managers had
courteously allowed " running powers"
for the occasion.
We learn from the best authority that
the Directors of the L. II. & 13. Railway
have no intention of surrendering their
bonuses on behalf of Mr. Fowler's
scheme, as they are fully determined
that the road slaall be carried through by
the existing route.
•
SOMINION PARLIAMENT.
With the exception of the Riel affair,
the House has been piincipally occupied
with routine business, everything is be•
ing pushed forward with expedition.
The estimates have been given, and the
finance Minister has inade his speech
upon the subject. From all appearances
it is likely the session will be a short
One.
We see by the Parliainentary report
that Mr. Cameron has presented a pe-
tition from the people of Tuckersmith,
praying that that Township may be an-
nexed to the South Riding for legisla-
tive purposes. The proposed change is
to annex that township to the South
Riding, and making the Huron Road
from Clinton to Hohnesville, and thence
along the Cut Line to the Lake the
northern boundary, giving to the Centre
Riding in exchange for Tuckersrnith,
that portion of Goderich township north
of the lino mentioned and Goderich
town. This would certainly make the
two Ridings more compact.
The much -talked of Pope -Macdonald
letter affair, has turned out to have
been a put up job as far as Sir John A.
Macdonald, and Hon. Mr. Pope were
concerned. During the recent investi-
gation at Montreal, it was proved that
the letter was intended to be sent to
Mr. Young. It has also turned out
that a secret investigation took place
last September, when it was learned
that a Mr. Palmer, chief clerk of the
delivery branch, was the one " guilty"
of opening and sending tbe letter to
Hon. Mr. Young. Palmer was ens-
pended for a day, but at the instance of
Hon. Mr. Pope, thn " mo.oh bused
person," he was re -instated.
GRAND TRUNK RAILNVAY. -II is ru-
mored in railway circles that Mr. Joseph
Hickson, at present Secretary -treasurer of
the Grant Trunk Rrailway, is to assume
the post of general manager, and that one
of the directors will come out from Eng-
land to keep an eye on the management of
the eared.

than we can, they are welcome also to that,

ment for some time, there will be no real
change in its management, so what it has
been it, the past it will continue to be in this
future. The only name mentioned in the

effect that the Red Chafi Spring (Wheat is a
very poor kind to sow, and warns farmers

suddenly came to a halt, and one of the oo-
cupants got out, as he said, to examine a
wheel, but in reality to wait for the buggy to
come alongside. When abreast, one of the
four men asked him what was the distance to
the gravel road, and while replying, he was
seized and dragged forcibly out of the buggy,
and immediately lost upon and belabored
with whipstocks and clubs, and kicked. His
assailants then beat a rrareat, and Donahoe
proceeded to Brussels, where his wounda,
some of which were dangerone, were dreseed.
