4. Proposed by Mr. Alexander McGre-

Esq., Reeve South Easthope, That this
meeting takes this opportunity of recording
its most unqualified disapprobation of the
course pursued by certain journaltsts, pro-
fessing to be Reformers whilst at the same
tune they are endeavouring to ingratiate
themselves with the opposite political party
by traducing their own, and also of that
pursued by some diasatisfied political vacil-
lators, inasmuch as they have not hesitated
to make charges against the Honourable
Malcolm Cameron, relative to ►is accep-
tance of the office of President of the Coen •
cil, which are both bnfounded and false,
such u follows vis.!—" That the Honour-
able Malcolm Cameron, baying condemned
the once of President of the Commit previ-
ews to his election, has sow, tet ng elected,
accepted the same without alteratio0" this
meeting being aware, that Mr. Cameron
frequently when addressing his constituents
previous to his election publicly declared
that, the salary attached to that office was
more than the duties connected with it could
warrant, though not in one instance did be
object to the continuance of the office so
long as the salary was not attached—con-

qualified terms, and that, Mr. Cameron,

to the very able and interesting Lecture de-

of Tcmperanee, by Thomas M. Jones,
Esq., the subject as by previous intimation
was the History rf Canada, the crest-
ing being fine the Hall was crowded to ex-

been delivered by the Goderieh Book Club.
We sincerely hope that tbe members of

with this lecture, but give us the pleasure
of listening to another series at their ear-

the speech; so tlmt 1 need not repeat it.)—
" Mr. Chairman and gentlemen. you are
well aware of my love of popularity, and
love of approbation. And if any of you are
ignorant or sceptical regarding my self-
esteem; I am heartily convinced, at ka,st.
that there is sot a single individual in this
meeting, but who will at once, without the
slightest. hesitation admit my undoubtabte
volubility. \\'hy then is there such good,

in the Township of Ellice. There is not
a man in this meeting, Mr. Chairman, but
knows well that i am noted for my volubi-
lity. What did that agent say the other
day, when 1 ripped his party to very tat-
ters, and called them a set of sycophants)
Therefore, I am determined to oppose this
resotuuhon. There is nothing, Mr. Chair-
man. could have given nus more suneere and
solid pleasure than to have been called up-
on either to propose or second this resolou-
tion, were it for notbing else than to give
vent to my volubility, bet this being denied
1 cannot bat respect my volubility, there-
fore, 1 am determined to oppose this reso-
luutioo. Why, Sir, if any of you are doubt-
ful of my volubility, 1 shall give you taagi-
hle (I was abont saying ammeter) demon-
stration of it, which I think ought to satis-
fy any reasonable individual, therefore, I
am fully determined to op this resoluta-
bon. It has been remarked, Sir, by some
one since i carne into this meeting, that
I could sell s pair of boots to -day for three
dollars and a half, and seH the some for four
dniters to-merrow, WeU, Sir, that would
depend epee very partieuiar eircutastanees,
and though I might sell • pair *Chart(' un-
der thisfashion, it would not be so easy
to sell a lot of land in the noise way.—
Therefore, on account of my volubility, I
am determined to oppose this resolution—

where north of latitude 40, 1 think cattle

owing to the same principle, and the want
of shelter, bet they soon get up by choice

day by one of the men whom 1 sometimes
employ, that last year he was serving a mao
in Ohio, all his cattle were singularly poor
and his lambs and sheep almost all died
from the same cause. One cold sleety
rainy day is worse for cattle than a month
of snow, with good sheds and plenty of
feed.. But I acknowledge should a person
go south of line 40 or 38, that this principle
would not bold true, but then there would
be worse, each a climate is far too warm
for any bruti+b subject to lire with plea-
sure and gond health. A friend of mine
living on line 42, Illinois, told me that
he would ranch rather lire in countries
where thee would have two months of good
ndieg, than all winter depending chiefly on
their waggons and the roads after being
deep and then frozen up, was most dis-
agreeable as rasing on a course of stones.
