Then is • di•po•iti•.o on the part of a few
reckless political oMce-bu.ters in Upper
Canada to sympathise with lb• lawless pro-
ceedings of their Montreal friends, an to
extend them through this cod of the Prov-
ince. Th. largo(' of several Tory sews-
pepo.rs a diiectly iooeotrve to riot and blood-
shed. W• know that among respectable
coo eves such feelings are held in hoe
ror, but they are not alive to the effect
which suet /Articles as we daily see io the
pubis press are producing upon the minds
of uneducated and unthinking men.
The coatisued publication of such lae-
tses u that used in a Placard, shameless-
ly copied tato yesterdays Patriot, and the
euostast repeletoi of much incendiary ap-
peals as the editorial which 'accompanied at

try which tbeautbors of it could not allay
and which may eventuate in deedefere have
yet been spared witne.sirg., The, whole
present oLject of the Tory press seems to
be the introduction of brute force as an ele-
mool in the government of our country, and
the ovassuse/ of our populargoveroment by
mob coercion.
It is full time that every man who cares
for the country be dwells In, or has a stake
is its prosperity, should put the quwtioo to
himself. Where ie all ib a to end? Canada
re a widely extended country, peopled by
men of many different origins, and divided by
many diversified interests ;—are we to car-
ry our thousand differences in the senate to
eatrcmity?—when bested by fair voting are
the minority to seek the defeat of the ma-
Joniy by means of the midnight ruffian and
incendiaryr
. This a the issa now presen-
ted. 1t a (rota men who bout themselves,
par exce:kpee, the Briton., that the present
effort to ratee sacitenient proceeds—neo
who profess to boast of the glorious consti-
tution of their native land ; a con 'Muth"
which guarantees the freedom of the peo-
ple, the ngbt• of the Crown, the power of
the popular voice, and justice to all men.—
We have that same constitution in Canada
—the same machinery of government—the
same appeal in all cases of difference-.
and we are under the same necessity of sub -
elation when the majority bas decided.—
Have there been no quest.oss of difference
1n Greet Britain as exciting as any ever agi-
tated Is Canada 1—bas each party at homer
sot been i. Ito turn as completely defeated
as the Tory party here ?—have no meas-

This struggle of desperation in which the
Tories of Canada are wallowtog, is theatres,
senseless proceeding which ever was wit-
nessed. Whet can they make by it 1 The
people of the country are as Provtdeece bee
made them ; three-fourths of them are of

it
is clear that •ren ad-

-
herence to Law Is their best protection.
And British Constitutional government, we
pineerely believe, is the beet protection for
the minority of the people that the world
has yet discovered. The Reform party for
Years resisted the payment of any Rebellion
Losses; a Conservatee Government paid
the Upper Cicada Lne.es—a Conservative
Government took the first steps to pay the
Lower Canada Loses—the present Gov -
comsat lout took'ep their measure, and they
carried it by an overwhelmniog majority of
the people's Representatives. The whole
proceeding was open, legal, God, as the ma-
jority thought, jest and prnper ; the minori-
ty thought it was neither just nor proper—
but what then 1 1s there not a constitu-
tional remedy open to them—can they not
appeal to the people 1 1f they have right
on their side, why not diocese the matter
fairly and bide their time like sensible men.
How many scandalous transactions did the
tut government consummate—but the Re-
form party never over -stepped the line of
Cooaututional agitation. end that present
position is the result of the course they
adopted. Let the Conservatives •tick to
the same cnuree, amend their prineiples,and
sooner or later they may get back the rents
end every one knows that is the sum and
rubetance of the present agitation. Maks

Prime Minister, Mr. Gowan Ipspeetor Gen-
eral, aid Mr. Ferree' inspector of Licensee

LETTER OV THE REV. H. MULCINSTO
THE EDITOR or tee N. Y. TRIBUNE.
St.,—A friend has handed me the Trail
script of the 17th instant, containing some
.tnctures upon inc for writing canoe let-
ters in the Bathurst Courier, in relation
to the Governor General. As long as pub-
lic strictures were made by local prints,
having neither character nor talent, I passed
them by; but when I find myself assailed in
the Canadian metropolis, mod by • gentle-
man, a scholar, and an acknowledged wit, it
becomes a very different matter. I must,
therefore, request you, ■red such other
papers in the Province as having noticed
my letters to publish this rejoinder.
You have placed me, Sir, where yon and
your brother editors have placed the Con
serr•uve party in Canada, in • false pnsi•
tion. You represent me as • party polite
cal writer. Had you read my lettere, you
would have aeon tat 1 took a eery different
position. 1f you did not read them, then you
were cnticisiny what you neither read nor
understood. At the very outset I took
the position "of • spectator, really looking
nn,' Through the•wholo dt.cosiine, 1'raid
not a word against the Conservative party,
not a word in favor of the Radical party—
! confined myself to the discussion of o
gne.tioo. That was not by any means
commoo party question; it wan one vital
oar existence as a British Colony—one th
had earited the people to barbarous exam
nes in Montreal, and maddeo.d them almost
to rebellion in the country. It was. there-
fore, a question which every good Yid
honest man wished to have well uodereeood
and speedily settled, be he clerical or lay.
My being a clergyman can be no good
son for remaining quiet, when you or your
confreres, or both, were stimulating fee -
tions to riolenc calling no the people to
arm, •pplaudi1 them for insulting the
Queen's Representative, rod resorting to
every devise, for corrupting the masses, and
leading them into rebellion. Had i joined
as fl.gttious and licentious a press as
Chrieteod-m can exihibit, in this crusade to
insult an innocent man for doing an honora-
ble and constitutional act, then all would
have been right, and instead of being vilifi-
ed, I should have been applauded from one
end of Canada to the other.
Had you aesw.red toy letters, balancing
fact against fact, and argument against •r -
gement, instead of auailine me as a clergy-
man, you would have shown yourself
superior to the common style of editors,
and an honest politician. Had ynu taken
Ole rubllahed counsels of your bishop, in-
stead of assuming the episcopal oversight
of Upper Canada, you would have show•
yourself a better Churchman. Had ioi
u.ed your influence to (poet the rioters
Montreal, instead of fanning the flame of
discontent o
, you world have proved yourself
a better subject.
On that ground, Sir, do .ynu deny the
right of a clergyman to enterfere in the
politics of his country ? The Bible, the
history of the Church, the British Constitu-
tion, the history of Canada, proclaim a dif
doctrine. if clergymen have no right
to interfere publicly, nor as ministers, bre
