An Important Duty. •
Before the 3rel of September next,
every elector in this Province will
be called upon to perform one of
the most important duties which can
possibly devolve upon a British sub-
ject. The right . to exercise the
franchise is a right which should be
dearly ch et ished by every good
citizen, and which should be exercis-
ed with the greatest discretion and
judgment. - It is too frequently the
case that , this privilege is not
sufficiently prized and is looked up-
on entirely too lightly.- Many
too apt to consider that it mat
but little to them in whose, ha
the Government of their ceuntr
placed, aa the good or evil result
that Government do not effect,th
directly. This is a great and fa
• mistake. It is of the highest,
portance to the low as well as ,to
highest subject in the land :that
nianagen ent of the affairs of
country. be 'placed °in ti uatwort
and honest hands, and properly c
ducted. Although the loss! susta
ed through governmental rnism
agement or extrav? Bence may .
be directly felt and glaringly ap
ent to every subject, ,vet it is no
the less real and injurious.
Where is. the Farmer, 'Meehan
or Merchant who. if he were piaci
his faros, his mill, or his mercant
establishment under the entire ma
agement and control of, ant: Tindi
dual, -would not first be well sat
fied, and have sufficient evidence
that individual's honesty and inte
rity
to convince him that his pro
erty would be properly cared f
by him Why then, when we a
about to place the; entire control a
management of the affairs sof •o
country into the hands of a few i
dividuals, should we not be equal
cautious of the characters borne b
and the preyious couduct of those
whom we are about to entrust now
greater interests 2 Let us, then, car
fully enquire into the . characte
borne by, and the past actions
these who have been our country
stewards for the past five years, an
ascertain whether they are -.wo
thy of our confidence for five yea
to come.
One of the last acts of the -lat
San.dfleld Macdonald Gover amen
was to assume to themselves
thro_igh the aid of a subservient Par
liament, the entire control and dis
posal of a sum of the people's mone
amounting to $150,000. The
maintained that they had a right t
dispose of this money as they deem
ed meet, and scorned the idea of re
sponsibility to the people whose pro
'petty it was, as to where, how,. oi they spent it. This wad thei
policy. They appealed to the peo
pie upon this policy, and asked! them
to°sustain thein in their rapacious
demand. The people refused to give
up their rights -in this way. 'They
stated in a manner toe plainly!to be
misunderstood, that they wished to
have a voice in- the disposition of
their own funds, that they were
themselves competent to judge as to
what use it was proper to put their
own money, and that they had no
confidence in men who ursurped!pow-
ers which did not rightfully belong
to them, and betrayed the confidence
they had reposed in them. They
therefore turned out these un-
faithfeil servants, -and filled their
places with others who were willing
to massage the trust placed in their
hands subject to the wishes and di-
rections of those who employed them.
One of the latest acts of Mr. John_
A. Macd.onald's Government_ has.
been, through the aid of a 'subservi-
ent Parliament, to take out of the
hands of the people the entire man-
agemept and control of $30,000,000
of their money, and 50,000,000 acres
of their lands, and place it at their
own disposal: to use as they please,
and give it to whom they please,
without holding themselves in the
slightest degree responsible to those
out of whose control they forcibly
took this enormous amount. We
ask are the people of this Province
prepared to have their rights torn:
from them in this manner ? Do they
consider the servants - who would
thus rob their employers honest, or
worthy of re-engagement for other
five years ? If any individual elect --
or should detec-t his servant in 'de-
frauding him in this way of his
valuables, would .he discharge him
or continue him in his employment ?
The people of this Province diseharg-
ed John Sandfield Macdonald for
appropriating the role control of
$150,000, and will they retain John
A. Macdonald in their employ after
he has appropriated .,$30,000,000 ?

be blind indeed to their interests, if
they retain for a single day a man
who has so basely betrayed the !trust
they haws reposed in him. They will
meet out to him the! same punish-
ment which they awarded to Mr.
Sandtield Macdonald. They , will
dismiss him from - their employment
at once, and will engage others who
will be willing to be guided by their
instructions, and of whose honesty
they have already had proof. .
Electors of Huron, Messrs. Green-
way, Farrow and Toms approve of
the- action of Mr. John A. Mac-
dohald in defrauding you of your
rights, and if° elected will assist in
securing his. reinstallment for an-
other term of five years, and thus
give hint an opportunity of again
imposing upon you. Are- you pre-
pared to submit to this ? .. If you
are ; vote for - these gentlemen, if
not, vote against them and put forth
your utmost exertions to secure their
defeat.
The Political Campaign.
The first Parliament of the Do-
minion of Canada has been officially
dissolved, and the. writs ordering
new elections issued. These writs
are returnable by the 3rd of Sep-
tember, so that the political cam-
paign in Canada may now be said to
be fairly commenced.. The coming
six weeks will be busy ones with
politicians of all shades. What the
result of the elections will be it is
difficult at present to - decide. In
Ontario the prospect, is good. We
believe the friends of honest gov-
ernment will be triumphant at the
polls by an overwhelming majority.
In every constituency 4hey seen: to
be seating to work with a will. and
deteimination to succeed that-�bitl
almost• certainly secure success. Be-
sides this, they never had better ma-
terial` to week on. Never _has a
government appealed to the elec
tors with a blacker or more damag-
ing record than that of Sir John A.
Macdonall's. We therefore feel
convinced that principle will prevail
over prejudice, and' honesty over
corruption and extravagance.
In the ,other Provinces of the Do-
minion it is scat eely safe to estimate
what the result will be. The lead-
ing! journals in this Province, on
both' sides ofpolitics,- seem to be ex-
ceedingly -reticent in giving their
opinions as to the probable result in
the other Provinces. They appear
to be wholly absorbed in. fighting
the battle at home,` and seem in-
clined to allow their neighbors to
take care of, themselves. As. for
Quebec, we have but- little hope.
We believe, however, that in the
other Provinces the people will as-
sert their rights, and free themselves
from the degrading condition into
whieh they have fallen. • - Nova
Scotia will, we have reason to be-
lieve, do her duty this time, and
liberally chastise those traitors such -
as Howe, who have time.and again
sold themselves and sacrificed their
country's best interests for personal
gain and emolument. New Bruns
wick, also, will not, s e feel confi-
dent, be behind. - If, 'therefore, On-
tario does her duty, as .we believe
she will, the country will be freed -
from the blighting incubus of a cor-
rupt
os . -
rupt Government which has so long
rested upon it. -
Centre Huron.
Mr. M. C. Cameron has now off
cially notified the Reform Associa
tion of Centre Huron that he de
clines accepting the nomination of
the Convention, and that lie intends
standing for South Huron only.
Under these circumstances, a new
Convention has been Balled by the
President of the Association. This
Convention willtlbe- held at Seaforth
on: Wednesday, 24th - inst., ° at 12
o'clock.. The object of the Conven-
tion will be, of course, to select an-
other candidate, and make arrange-
ments to secure his election.
As will be seen, by reference to
other columns, -Mr. Joseph White-
head, the lots 'representative of the
North Riding, has issued, his ad-
dress announcing himself as a can-
didate fora the Centre Riding, and
claiming the support of Reformers.
With regard to Mr. Whitehead,
we propose . to say but little j ast
now. So far as his past political
conduct is 'concerned, much fault
cannot be found with him. He has,
on two occasions, and on two most
important questions, given votes of
which we cannot approve. But, if
he can show satisfactorily that ,ie
gave these votes conscientiously, in
view of his past general good con-
duct, they should not alone be suffi-
cient to condemn him. It will be
noticed. however, by his adch ess that
be makes -no promises for the fu-
ture, and that he gives no inkling of
the course he intends to' pursue,
should he be elected, Besides this,
in issuing his address at the present
time, without either being brought
out by Convention or requisition, it
seems to us that Mr. Whitehead is
sting with undue haste, and the
course he is pursuing looks as if ho
were determined to force' hirvselt
upon the electors whether his ser,
vices are desired or not. We notice,
abo,-th .t, for several days, the To-
ronto ail, the"special organ of the
Domini n. Government, has Mr.
Whitehead's name classed among
those of the Ministerial candidates,
and` we have not noticed that he has
forbidden the liberty` which the
Ministerial organ has taken in thus
using his name. If Mr. Whitehead
has any regard for his political char-
acter, he will come out from
among the 'Philistines at once
and forever.. We would respect-
fully recomuiend him to submit
his claims to the Convention
to be held on the 24th inst.,
and we are sure they will receive all
due consideration. If they are con-
sidered sufficient to justify the Con-
vention in giving him the nomina-
tion, then be can appear before the
pcinple backed up by the approval
and expressed confidence of his par-
ty. But, we feel confident that, as
an •independent candidate, lie need
look for nothing but defeat. If he
has the interests of his party as
much at heart as -he professes to
have, he can certainly have no hesi-
tation in pursuing the course we
have indicated.
South Huron.
The campaign in South. Hilton
has now fairly commenced. Union
meetings by Messrs. Cameron and
Greenway were held on Tuesday
evening last at Elimville ; on Wed-
nesday evening, at Stacey's School
Mouse, near Farquhar; on Thurs-
day evening at Rodgerville, all in the
township of Usborne. Meetings
will -aiso be held at Crediton, in the
township of Stephen, on Saturday
evening next ; at Varna, on Mon-
day evening; at Bayfield, _on -Tues-
y eventing.; ft Clinton, on Wed-
ne day evening;lat Holwesville, in
C
i
th township of Goderich, on Z hurr-
y evening ; at Shepherd's Hall,
Bayfield concession, township of
Goderich, on Friday 'evening, and
at McKee's Hall, 4th concession
township, of •Goderich, on Saturday
evening. On the following week a
meeting will be held at Zurich, in
Hay, on Monday evening the 29th
inst., and at Exeter on the follow-
ingTuesdayeverting.
e.�inb. Each of the
above meetings will be convened at
7 o'clock in the evening. As both
the candidates and their friends will
meet face to face at each of these
meetings, a fair, and no doubt ex-
citing, dismission of the public ques-
tions of the day will be had. We
would advise every elector in South
Huron, wl o can possibly make it
convenient, to be present at some of
these meetings.. It is, mainly, by
attending meetings such as these,
and hearing- the public questions of
the .day discussed openly and fairly,
by learning the views of the oppos-
ing candidates upon these questions,
and the course which they intend
to pursue respecting them in the
future, that electors can vote intelli-
gently at the approaching election.
If the actions of the present Adulin-
stration are thoroughly discussed by
the candidates, and properly weigh-
ed and considered without prejudice
by the intelligent electors of any
community, we have little fear
of the result. We maintain that
the past actions of the present
Government hare been so -thorough-
ly corrupt, nd their whole career
so dangerous to the interc,sts of the
country, th.t no elector who will
fairly cons: er these matters, cin for
a moment t ink of casting his vote
for a candid to who °will pledge him-
self to vote for and exert himself to
retain them 'longer in power. For
this reason we are the more anxious
that the electors should attend these
public meetings, and . have every op-
portunity of informing themselves
as to the record of -the party which is
now seeking for its acts the approv-
al of the country.
North Huron.
From this constituency, we hear
but little, and we are not aware that
either of the candidates has set fairly
to work. We believe that Mr. Far-
row has refused to hold joint meet-
ings with Mr. Somerville, and we
presume that each= candidate is hoe -
rug his own row diligently and quiet-
ly. Neither of the candidates, so far
as -we have seen, have yet issued
their addresses to the. electors:
Whether, therefore, Mr. Farrow
claims to be an Independent; Union'
ist, Moderate, Liberal Conservative,
or Ultra- Tory, we are unable to say.
There is one thing certain, however,
and of which the electors of North
Huron` may feel assured, no matter
by what name ht may be called, he
has been brought out in the interests
of, and is bound hand and -foot to
upport, the Government of Sir John
A. Macdonald, . whether they be
right or wrong. If the electors
of North Huron can endorse the
extravagant, arrogant, and unscru-
pulous conduct of this 'Government,
when they should by all means vote
for Mr. .Farrow. If, however, they
Wish. to have men who have already
proven their honesty, . placed - as
guardians of our country's interests,
they should support and vote for his
opponent. -
Centre ';Huron Reform Con-
- vention.
Owing to the ncn-acceptance by
Mr. Cameron of the nomination of
the late Rteforru Convention, it has
become necessary to call another
Convention to choose ancther can-
didate. This second Convention
has been appointed by the -President,
to meet at Seaforth, on Wednesday
next, 24th inst., at twelve o'clock.
Meetings for the appointment of dele-
gates to the Convention will be heid
in each municipality on. Monday
next, at the places and hours desig-
nated in the bills calling the meet-
ings. We trust that these meetings
for the appointment of delegates
will be largely attended, so that the
Convention may be composed of a
full
represention of properly accred-
ited delegates. At the last Conven-
tion we were sorry to notice that in
some of the . municipalities these
meetings had ;been entirely neglect-
ed, and that delegates had to be
chosen at the Convention. We` trust
that in no instanceiwill this be the
case on Wednesday next. Let every
municipality be fully represented,
and let each delegate come with his
proper credentials. The delegates
should be appointed on the same
basis as for the last Convention,
viz.:.one for every one hundred Par-
liamentary votes in the municipalit
•
The Conservative Convention.
A Conservative Convention f 4 r
the purpose{ of electing a suitab e
person to contest Centre Huron i
the Conservative interests was held
at Seaforth on Monday last. The
attendance, we believe, was ver
small—the Convention being co
b
posed principally of gentlenien_frora
Goderich and Clinton, with a few
luke-warm friends who were picked
up in the streets of Seaforth. •After
considerable discussion it was agreed
that Me. I. F. Toms, of Goderich
be the nominee of the Convention.
It is currently rumored that the
mote sensible members of the. part
were averse to showing their weak-
ness in this Riding by bringing for-
ward a candidate at all; but othersl
perhaps more sanguine, were deter1
mined, at least, to go through the
farce of making a nomination, rather
than have it said that 'the Riding
went by default. This being the
case, Mr. Toms was nominated. 0
course, he requested a few days for
consideration, before accepting or de-
clining the nomination, and, of
course, his -request was granted.
The Presidency.
The endorsement of Horace Gree-
ley, the -other day, by the Demo-
cratic Convention at Baltimore, oc-
casioned no surpris it was, in
fact, a looked -for occu •ence. But
'fifteens or even five ye rs ago, had
any man been so gifted with pre-
science as to have been able to an -1
pounce it as an. event to come off, he
would have been looked upon as a
fit snbject for a lunatic asylum.
What George Brown is to the Que-
bec Iucbitans-what Sir George Car-
tier is to the Ontario Reformers—
what Louis Napoleon was to the
Red Republicans of France -all
this, and more, Horace Greeley, and
his paper were to the Democratic
party in the United States. Greeley
was the " bogey" with -which good
Democratic mothers used to frighten
their wayward children. More
scathing sarcasm or stunning de-
nunciation was never expressed
in - words than that applied to
the Democrats by their present
i owinee for the - Presidency ; the
labor of his whole life bas been to
destroy therm—awl yet they adopt
hire as their caudidat'e for the high-
est position in the nation. Surely
there must be -some sacrifice of prin-
ciple here. Either the Democratis,
party is so utterly demoralized and
broken as to be willing -tea s+tpport
en opponent; or Mr. Greeley is so
extremely anxious for political hon-
or as to be willing to accept it at the
sacrifice of all former professions
and principles. The concession is
probably mutual. The Democrats
wan t -a candidate, and Greeley a
party„ and neither hesitates to em-
brace.the other. The prospects of
this extraordinary . coalition are
rather dubious. It is not probable
Mr. Greeley will have much of a
Republican following. A. handful
of that party w uld have supported
hire as an indhpendent candidate
but many, even of these, will desert
hinl"now as the nominee of the
Democrats. Then, a large portion
of the yank and: file of - the Democ-
racy do not approve of the action of
the Baltimore Convention, and, dis-
liking both Grant and Greeley, will
probably not vote at all. Unless a
unanimous vote of the Democracy
can be obtained for Greeley, and
also a considerable support from the
Republicans, his case is hopeless.
General Grant may not be a very
brilliant man, but he is generally
considered a tolerably safe one. The
country has been moderately pros-
perous under his administration, the
war debt has been materially less-
ened, and, though entire reconcilia-
tion has not been secured in. the
South, personal safety and security
of property has been obtained. In
view of this, the excellent prospect
of General Grant's re-election should
be regarded with satisfaction. .The
immediate vicinity of our own elec-
tions may, to some extent, lessen
the interest of Canadians in the po-
litical struggle going on south of
the Lakes, but still we cannot be
entirely indifferent to it. �ti e are
are connected so intimately with
our neighbors by ties of family and
commercial relaticinship that their
good Government • and prosperity
must be of considerable import-
ance to us. -
The Wandering Knights.
Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir
Francis Hincks are at present on a
missionary tour throughout the
western part of Ontario. They have
already held meetings at Hamilton,
Brantford and London. To -day,
Friday, they hold forth in Stratford,
and it is rumored that they intend
paying this County a visit, to en-
lighten
n
lighten the benighted political heath-
en hereabouts, and that Clinton is
the place which will be honored by
their august presence. We have
not yet learned the day upon which
they intend being. in Clinton, but
no doubt due notice, will be given.
Thus fair, we believe, the labors of
these missionaries have not been
crowned with much success, and
conversions have been few`; The
hardness of heart manifested by the
Western Ontario Grits is no doubt
considered lamentable by Sir John
and
Ms
colleague, but we fear tilers
is no help for.it. It will require a
much greater gift of eloquence and
persuasiveness of speech, than these
gentleman possess, to- convince
thinking, intelligent men, that black
is white. The habitans of - Quebec
may be dragged through corruption
to their knees, by these designing
politicans, but their fine speeches
and fair professions will have but
little weight with the intelligent
yeomanrr.�f Ontario.
The Writs Out.
The writs were issued at Ottawa
on Monday. .They are made return-
able 0n the ard of September in all
cases except three counties in Q1e-
bec and those of Manitoba and Brit-
ish Columbia. The proclamation
for the Ottawa City election was
_posted in the' capital on Monday,
immediately after the issue of the
writs. The nomination takes place
on the 24th inst.

Won't Somebody Stop Him ?
We mean Sir John. HD is going
too fast. At Ottawa Sir John held
that " Scott was shot," but k ould
never admit that he had been mur-
dered. That was when he -was un-
der the eye and within hearing of
Cartier, and he had to be careful.
When Sir John ieached Peter-
borough, he grew bold enough to
.proclaim that " Scott had been mur-
dered." Cartier, by that time, was
out of hearing. When Sir 'John
spoke in Hamilton, on Saturday
night, he was able to announce that
" S Cott had been foully murdered."
_By that time, you know, Sir John
had got so far away from Cartier as
to feel quite ihdependent. But
where is this to end ? . If he goes on
in the same ratio, he will, by the
time he gets through with his On-
tario tour, be simply an echo of the
Globe, and then, what will his fol-
lowers do in the matter 2 If the

;time in Ontario than he has been in
;the habit of doing, `it is quite evi-

out more comment than any other
