Those things are beyond estimate. The obgarcbal system has been destroyed by the ntroduction of Resposible Government; but partisans of the obsolete system survive, who will carry with them their notate and repulsive no- tices to the grave. These men are scarce- ly lees daegerolas now, will power in their bards (may they sever regaia it) than in the hay -day of their reign, before the iastitu- tioas of their preference had been supplant- ed, is deference to the demand of an ea- Iigbtesed putkc opinion. Every one knows how valueless the best institutions may be rendered, who° they ars not ad- miaiatered is the spirit in which they were co.cieved. In France, at this moment the name of Republic survives, but what is there of the substance aid the spirit 1 All the world knows that Louis Napoleo0 is in fact, the most intolerable, died oppressive of living despots. In Canada, we have not rushed, as the French did, tato Repub- licaaism; but have we not far more liberty than that ill -stared nation possesses! But 'here, as there, our isentutio°s can be pre- served only, iu a condition to be practical- ly valuable, so long as they are admiaister- sd ie the spirit in which they were origiaa- ted. And who are most likely so to ad- minister them—those who devoted years of their life to this establishment, or the sir - riving partisans of tbe defunct oligarchy, wbo were ever the sworn enemas of real Reprerestative Institutions1 The spirit of oligarchy still lives. . It is not as opi- nion or a theory, but a• moral essence, a latent despotism. It regards not the peo- ple as the source of power. IIs dreams are of social castes—privileged orders—a State Church resting like a night -mare o0 lbe masses, sad established only for the t:caporal benefit of the privileged few. Of this class are the Cayleys and the J. II. Camerons. This party has brought to the verge of political ruin, all who have en- tered to ally themselves with it. This we are glad to find, some of them are tiodiag out. We have it from a0 uudoubted source that the orane men of Upper Cana- da have resolved no longer to be led by the nose, by the Family Compact. 'They are resolved that if the alliance is any longer to centime between them, the Compact men must follow not lead. We under- stand that it was u pursuance of this reso- lution, that Mr. Gowan was induced to con- nect himself with the Patriot, at Tut onto, which u hereafter to speak, not the views of the Family Compaet, but those of the. Orangemen, who hare determined to effect their own emancipation, and to repudiate net alliance that has brought on them moth- isg but discredit. We learn further, through a private but reliable source, that the Compact, which h•ssCayley fit Co.,for its tail", have " kicked up a ternble row:" threateoed war to the knife, against the refractOey orangemeo, and issued a circu- lar announcing a new Compat paper, which, if we remember rightly, was to make its appearance is 'Toronto about a week ago. In that circular, of which we have seen a copy, it is insiomted that the Patriot las ceased to be the advocate of "the Institutions of our fathers," since it became the accredited organ of the Orange- men, with Mr. Gowan for its editor! And the Compact men. of wham Cayky is per- mitted to be the tail, are to write down the Patriot, because the Orangemen will no longer bear the opprobrium of a connec- tive which has done them incalculable in- jury ! 'fbe Orangemen are right in this movement ; in shaking off the control of the Compact, tail and all, and resolving to deed or fall on their own merits. It will sot surprise many to find that the Compact is thus deserted and left alone to find its level, before it effected the final and ulti- mate rine of its political associates.

These objeetioos haring been over -ruled by the Bench, Mr. Strachan ten the part of his clients, decied the charges made against them, and pet the cal"rmant to the proof of each case. This 'denial of so notorious a fact took Mr. Wid ,er and every one else by surprise, as the T: von- . keepers in cheer valor had aside it their boast for weeks that they would sell b, cors and defy the Council or say ooc else to punish them under existing eireametasces; but it appear', that,hke Bos Acnes when it came to the point their "coinage oozed out at the point( of their fingers;" and th•• v looped thus to shirk the question and escape the penalty which they k.ew they had isesrr-d. After he had proved one of _ the cases t the aatisfactios of tie bench, Mr. Widder applied for an adjourviment in order to pre- pare himself With more etidemce, wLi u was granted ; and the Comet met agar on Thursday, the same Ma;utrates beteg e•, the Bench as on the previous day. Tbc six.rernaining cases were then gone i --to and all proved against the Tavenr-.c• • o-rs, (how could it be otherwise I) and they were fined in Got posmds and costs, each, k. their offence. They have siuce gores notice appeal to tbe Quarto Sessious in July sad entered into--tliiVrequired recooniz..eees ; but, what good they expect to gain 1 :.n this appeal is more than we can possibly see ; for, while we admit that we think the license too high, we firmly believe that the Couocil.bave legal power to name the sum, WE last week copied a short article from tbe Globe, on the prostituttioe of the Press, with reference to the Loyalists publication of a one -aided story, about a paltry five pound note of Malcolm Camer- on's; well might the Globe exclaim, -What if it were all true, out upon tbede- grading supposition that it is the duty of the Press to rake in such filthy waters" and that when the press descends thus low, it becomes a nuisance, and not a bles- sing." \Ve say, well might the Globe make these remarks; but, what will our metropolitan contemporary think when we inform Lila that the Editor and Publisher of that Iligh Church Organ—that 'fory trumpet—that "widely circulated Journal" as its" Quebec correspoodent !" (who lives in the Township of Ashfield, in the District of Huron ! !) calla it, viz., the Boron Loy- alist ; we again say, what will the tilos."( or the readers of the Loyalist, ay, when we tell them that its Editor and Publisher last week stepped from his Editorial throne, to do a little of the dirtiest work of the veriest t»rnrrsor, infamer! will they not ay, that no puddle is dirty enough for him to dabble is, or slimy enough for to injure bim, and tbat no party, political or otherwise, can hope to prosper or exist, while its "organ" is under the manapement of men of such vixen aad malignant or grovelliag propensities. But we shall take every thing in its order. Some of our Readers are aware of the merits of the matter in dispute betwixt the Corporation' and the Tavern -keepers, which has kept our little town in a state of the greatest excitement during the last week; but as those at a distance cantrot be fatly acquainted with all the circumstances, we shall give a short and plain statement of the whole matter, and trust that we shall he excused if we begin attbe begianiag. • At the general election of councillors i. January last, Mr. Lewis and Mr. 'AP Ma- hon were elected by a majority of one.— Amongst their supporters was William Robertson, (Gaoler). Their election was protested against, and legal proceedings instituted to unseat them on the ground that Robertson's vote was a bad one. On the resignation of Mr. Watson, and while the first suit was still in abeyance, Mr. Horace Horton .was elected in his stead, by exactly the same parties who returned Lewis and M'Mahon, Chia election was pro- and that the Tavern -keeper did sot tett tested against, and the same proceedings the proper course to remedy the evil of instituted to unseat him as those takea which they eomplai°; that they cssnnt •Dosaibly expect to run so openly in the fere against Lewis and McMahon, and on pre - cicely of statutes with impunity, sad that the same grounds, namely, that Robertson's rote was bad. This is all that i therefore they will ultimately have to pay we know officially of 'the matter, we say the costs of the trials k addition to tact. offs iall y, because we have seem the writs fines and licenses.
