He said : Now, gentlemen, the President of the Clubsaid., andi believe it i the inten- tiore, that this Club is te devote itself to two objects, the onespislitical, . and ;the other social. I thinkethatis aniatt.er of great importance. It. is ve.rY desirable that; all the Young Liberals,*not, metely of Seaforth;', but of all the other parts of the .Dominion, should 'ask ..themselves Why they are Liberals? Let them ask themselves: Are we Liberals byacci- dent of -birth, bebause Tw6 have had the good .fortune to be born in Liberal families, and tobe broAght up surroupid, ed by the influence of Liberal traditions, or are . we Liberals becartse„having thought over the matter. to the best of the powersGod has given us, we be; :here that. in the progress and sneers's of the Liberal party ilea the beat guaran- tee for the progress and success- of, Can- -ready to swear that black s wh te,.. that orange is greenathat a circle square or a square is round, who are irepared to call themseH'es ClP athoic-rotestants or PrOtestantlOatholics„ if th ,y may thereby get: a vote, those m _n :whose very narne is a lie in terms, which the other title of. the animal' is—''Liberal Conservative."

I recollect, a good. many years age, having to pass thioug,h the city of New, York at the time of a great Presidential election contest, on going out on the street—it was before the abolition of slavery—being struck. by a banner dis- pla.yed on that occasion, I think in the interest of Colonel Fremont, bearing the then motto of the Republican party: "Free Soil, Free Trade, Frei Speech, Free Men." If you want a terse and comprehensive platform I would recom- mend you, on the whole, to adppt Berne - :thing like that. (Cheers.) If you are true Liberals you have faith in human 'progress—that is, you believe that, on the whole, the human rade is bound to grow better as the world advances, and that the Maker of the human race in- tends that it should so- do. i(Loud ap- plause.)
