whether these moral feelings were Dever
any higher than at present, and, tbersfure,
did not requite any delineation. Use
thing at least le certain, namely, that the
manner to which politics 1. discussed. and
1',10 manner in which an election is conduct-
ed, are sanely not calculated to convey e
correct ides of duty, nor to improve the
morals of uneducated men. There is per -
hap., no dispoe loon n.ore geoerally or more
visibly prevalent among 'sunken], this the
disposition to imitate those whom they re-
gard as their chiefs or superiors. Every
class in society aro a up to and imitates,
to some eateut, the manner, cuuoma and
dress of the class that le convenuocally
above it. This is peculiarly the case with
the uneducated or laboring class. Many
of thee" seem to have no other rule of duty
—no other rule by which to regulate their
conduct, than the example or inetrucuooe
of those who have, by more fortunate e1r-
cuw.tanc.•s, boon placed a little higher in
tho scale of our nuc al arragemonte. Now
when such men as there see thea stperiors
—their educated, iutul';gent, wealthy
neighbors—the leading men of society, io-
elud:ne even .tlip'isfrales and Ministers of
religion, using stratagems and sharp ret•
socing• for the purpose of securing the
votes of the uneducated peasantry. When
the '•1 .cling" men—the respectable moral
MCO of the contending political partici
jocularly banter each other, and boast of
their suceds in cajoling, by means of some
unfair influence, decepttoo, bugbear or mis,
representation, the simple farmer out of I.is
vote. When these intelligent, influential,
moral, aced, it may be, relig;ous men boast
of their election simnel. in the same style
ofbuily;ng bravado that would be employed
in boasting of • victory in horse racing or
cricket -playing, it surely cannot be expect-
ed that the simple and comparitively attire•
rate electors can have anything like cor-
rect notions of tbe nature and importance
of en elective legislature. It cannot ret•
eonah;y be expected that they have any
just conception of the reiponsibilily which,
as Electors, they owe to their follow -citi-
zens and evils to posterity. This, we say,
canliot reasonably be expected from the
uneducated portion of the electors. They
are influenced and guided, both in their
opinions, and conduet, in election matters,
by the exampie of the "leaders." Anil in-
stead of regarding the franchise as • sacred
trust which they hold for the public good,
and for the upright and pidicious exercise of
which they are under ••deep moral reepon-
eibility, they regard election tactics and
politics in general as an amusing species of
gambling.
HINTS TO TIIE ELECTORS.
Ten present elate of "sietsase is tot
only a state of probation in retinues to a
future life, but also a elate of ,•„ . •
IS reference to the generations that ere to
come after us. The social, moral and in.
teltoctual condition uf mace now, in the
most civilized countries of the earth, euro•
pared with the lowest stage of avageiem,
cannot be regarded as the result of chance,
nor of an inflexible destiny established in
tho nature of things, but must be viewed
as the effect of a gradual pfocess of pro.
gression. The discoveries, the We,
sciences, refinements and substantial physi•
cal comforts ouw.enjoyed in the highest
state of civi'izat;nn are only, in a limited
degree, attributable to the superior wisdom
and enterprise of the generation which en-
joys them. They are only, as It were, an
advanced step in the gradual process of pro-
gression Cant has been gang on fur ages,
and which is yet far from being completed.
And had our prnh•nitors for three thnussod
yeas back, been disposed, like the llindoo.
or the inhahilanta of China, to act on the
real conservative or stand -still principle,
the phye;cal, moral and intellectual im-
provement. of the p-esent day could not
possibly have existed. In short, we take
it for granted that It 13 till duty of every
man to assist in proportion to his circum-
stances. and in aJraecicg the con•
Juane of society—ti cndearor, with right
good will, to leare mankind bolter than
he found them, and, to enjoy the consola-
tion arising from the consciousness that he
had been instrumental in ad3-ng one other
stop to the progressive improvement of his
species.
If, then, it is admitted that progress is
the law of nature, as well in reference to
humanity, as io reference to the material
world, it may bo presumed that politics is
one of tho timet subjects that ehould engage
the attention of.man. This is, perhaps, a
very hetrod„x sentiment. The great mut,
titude have hitherto been taught to behaae
that it was utter fooiiihnese on' their part
to troublothemselves with politica--a very
venerable old Bishop of Rochester said
long 'ago, that "he could not Understand
what t!!e people bad to do with tho Iowa
rrrept to obey tient,” and the most eminent
Divine of our own times was frequently in
the hab.t of telling his hearers to "leave
politics to the potehreds of the earth !" and
that, too, at • time when he himself was one
of the keenest politicians in Britain ! - Such
opinions and advices whether delivered by
Statesmen on' Divines should be recieved
with nnych .caution—they are injurious to
the progress of society and the men who
promulgates. them is either an object of pity
or of suspicion—ho is either ignorant or
dishonest. The religion, morals, intelli-
gence, prosperity and happiness of a peo-
ple, aro all, in a very important degree, in•
fluenccd by the Government, laws and civil
institutions uoJer which they live; and to
tell a man that he should take no iotere.t
in politica, a virtually telling him that ig•
ooracce is preferable to knowledge. Un-
fortunately, however, this counsel of intrt.
cuing politicians and political Divines has
been extensively listened to and acted on.
A very largo proportion of men in the moat
enlightened countries have taken oo ioto-
rest in politics—they are, in a great mea -
sore ignorant of the subject—they have
left It to the " potehreds of the earth ;" and
in conformity with the opinion of the good
old Bishop of Rochester, they have really
nothing to do with the laws except to pay
for them and obey them. It Is a sad fact,
that even in countries where the elective
franchise has been liberally extended—
where a large majority of the adult male
population poetess the privilege of voting,
folly two•thirds of the Electors take no
interest m political matters. They are
ignorant of the power which this privilege
confers, aed hence they est no value upon
it. Many of thorn have even to be coaxed
or bribed to exercise the privilege,and would
not voluntarily walk a mile to tender their
vote. Indeed, they seem to regard the
fr•.chise as a tax—a sort uf a le„ sl imposi-
tion similar to being selected as a pathma-
ter, or a juror, or some other non paid offi-
cer or functionary. And unless some body
will draw them to the poll in a buggy or s
sleigh, they wou:d remain at home as indif-
ferent to the result of the election as a
parcel of stoics or dunderpates. Nay, they
even seem to think that they are doing •
servies to th• public-spirited neighbor, who
has harnessed his team for their accotomo•
dation, and in some instances have actually
demanded favors as a return for going to
the poll with a man who had less interest
in the affair than themselves. Many of
them regard ileo franchise as an article of
merchant!, no, vatuahle just (or what it toil;
bring. They look with a certain degree of
interest oo an approaching election. They
know their votes will he solicited—and,
having no moral coo,ction of the sacred
trust they are called es to discharge, they
are ready to sell to the h•ghest bidder. it
is almost impossible to conceive of a more
humiliating matinee of human dehatoment
than that of a esarselUeg hie vote for a
glass or a few glasses of whiskey—and yet
honor must blush tied acknowledge that
baa always been t• favor of the pimple sad
u barmeny with their iatereete. le short,

Mr. Cameron shall bo guilty of some great- the hoard of Publio Instruction in Twister

which have yet been laid to bis charge. It
must have beeo painful to every honest,
honorable lover of Canada's prosperity to
look on the despicable attempts that bate
lately Leen made to destroy Mr. Cameron's
pea:ttteal reputation. Not ouly have his al-
leged inconsistencies and his opposition to
his late colleagues to the Ministry been em-
ployed agaie.t him, but even his unrefined
manner—his limited education • n3 affinity,
for the uneducated and vulgar have been
wielded as weapons of destruction against
his political populsrty. We, on all occa-
sione, repudiate the ungenerous practice of
dragging forward a man's bad spelling—his
vulgar origin, and a•sociatiota, or kis want
of what is called refinement and a liberal
educarton, as argiimenta "greet his politi-
cal honesty, or his eligibility to represent
the wants and wishes of the great ioduslri-
ons miltitu le of our Canadian population.
The multitude are vulgar sod uneducat-
ed, and tho thing called sentimental refine-
ment is very far from being a just represen-
tation of popular wants and feelings.—
Such a man as Malcolm Cameron may
possibly be too deeply imbued with the
rough unsophisticated notions of Farmers
sod Mechanics, to be agreeable to the saucy
palates of a haughty Aristocrat, or an ape
of aristocracy. But farmers and meebanics
hold the power of returning men to the
House of Assembly, nod, to their credit, we
confidently assert that such men a Mr.
Cameron will, in nineteen casco out of
twenty, meet with the cordial support of
the industrious electors. We some months
ago doubted the policy and the justice of
assailing Mr. Cameron in the manner which
many if our coternporares were pleased to
adopt. '.'e candidly objected to some of
,1r. Cameron@ acts, but we felt no desire
to calumniate and abuse him, or to under-
rate
nderrate his former service.. \Ve mad], at lbs
trine, that • large majority of the people
were inehoed to believe that Mr. Cameron
had sufficient reasons for being offended
with the conduct of the Government to-
wards him. Aod although he, perils pe, car-
ried his resentment rather too far, yet we
doubted the propriety of alienating his nu-
merous friends by attempting to destroy his
political reputatton.11ad we been teas indebt-
ed to the personal friendship of Mr. Came-
ron,wo would have repelled the unwarracta•
ble attack with more roil at the time. We
supposed that our defence would be attnbu-
led to mercenary coonderatione, and there-
fore said loss than we really felt inclined to
do. But, now, that he has resigned his
seat as a Member of he Legislature, 1t is
certainly ungenerous and unjust to insinu-
ate that he retires because he has incurred
the dtepleasnro of his constituents. And
we betray: we are expressing the opinion of
two-thirds of all the rural constituencies in

,:erstood and remembered, would prevent a
very largo amount of humbug being perpe-
trated on the public, and a very large
amount of bad feeling which has been en-
gendered through the imprudent and not
aimiable conduct of those who are ignorant
of this fact. Malcolm Cameron is popular
—is a favorite with a majority of those
whom he represents. This is the fact to
which we allude, and it is of vast Impor-
tance and entitled to loam serious consid-
eration. it may reasonably be presumed
that the reason of Malcolm Cameron's popu-
larity i t,Kent is not his d:•pute with hie
colleagues in the present Adm'oistratioo.
11e is not popular on account of the nolo•
rioty which he has acquired under the bar -
biretta cognomen of a "clear -grit leader."
His popularity is not founded on the part
which he took in the Hilton election, nor on
his resigning an odic" of six hundred or sir
hundred and fifty pounds a year, nor on the
abuse and calumny which have been thrown
at him by a portion of the Preto, because he
did resign this office of emolument. Mal-
colm Cameron is popular with the inhabi-
tants of Kent simply klecerse ke is one of
tkenuelres. This is be grand secret and
it is full of importance to all Canada. We
do not mean to say that Mr. Cameron's
popularity with the people of Kett arses
from the het that he resides In Kent.—
This fact should here, and certainly hes
some weight with the people; but in saying
that Mr. Cameron is one of the people of
Kent, we do not allude to the fact of his re.
airlines among them. We mean that he i•
a elan of the people. One of themselves,
whose whole life has shown that bar views,
feelings arid interests were inseparably
identified with the interests of the people,
and whose uniform conduct as a legtelator
