SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Pace 18, 1S91. The Quebec Government Dis- missed. The recent calm in Quebe.c politics is to be followed by a violent storm, which has just . commenced. Lieutenant -Governor Angers yesterday diamissed the Mercier Government, and it is said he will call on Mr. DeBoucherville to form a Government. The letter of dismissal has not yet been made public so that anything that may be exid as te reasons for the dismissal is sinsply speculation. It is evident, however, that the Governor has assumed a very grave re- sponsibility and thet tlie Conservatives of Quebec are pleying a desperate game for power, Mr. Vowat's S.econd Manifesto. Hon. Oliver Mowat has Written another letter on the subject of the political union of Canada with the United States. This letter, althOugh addressed to Hois. Alexan- der McKenzie, was written for publication, and a,ppeered in the Globe of Monday. It la very lengthy, and occupies ten columns of the Globe Efe starts out by a reference to Unrestric ed Reciprocity, of which h3 heart- ily approveee previding a treaty can be ne- gotiated which would not be prejudicial to our present relations 'with Great Britain,and it is his opinion thet such a treaty in its operations. would not work either for or against political unien. In the second place he eaters at great length into a defence of the leadere of the Liberal party against the insinuations ma,in in some quartera that they are favorable to political union, and makes lengthy quotations from various sources to prove his position. He then states his objections to political union,whieh are, 1st, The extreme hostility of the Ameri- can people against Britein aud British in- stitutions ; 2ad, The United States consti- tutional system, embracing and fostering as it does, an elected judiciary ; a non -per- manent civil service, and irresponsibility of the heads of the public departments. to the people, they being appointhd for a fixed period and then being excluded from Parlia_ ment ; 3rd, The sentimentel considerations of loyalty to the " Old Flag." He con- cludes with a strong expression of confidence in the loyalty, ability and honesty of Sir Wilfred Leurier, Sir Richard Cartwright . and the other Libcral leaders, and a power- ful appeal to Liberals generally to continue to them their united support, and in this way secure the benefits of Reciprocity for the country. It ie needless for ris to say that we do not propose to combat or attempt th combat Mr.- Mowat's arguments. We are only sorry that so able a man has not been able to make out a stronger case., It seems to us that hie letter, at thepresent time, is entirefy super- fluous, and that it will tend to help rather than hinder the movement he so earnestly combats. ln the firat piece, his longmd labored defence of the loyalty of the Lib -if -el leaders is entirely unnecessary. None but those who ere well paid for their ser - vied, think of accusing them of aught bat the sincerest loyalty to Great Britain and especially to Canada, and censequently they require no defence in this direction, and especially from so powerful an agency as the honored and able' Premier of Ontario. ln the second place he destroys the effect of his whole argument by the following admission, which his natural honesty forced him to make. After eefer- ring to the hostile feeling in the United States towards Great Britain, he adds : But for this animosity in the United States the question of political union with that country would present itself to British Canadians under very different conditions from those actuttlly existing: One of the strongest objectiens to political union would be removed if the time should come when that unreatonable animosity passes away from the national mind. The poli•tical union, on a satisfactory basis, of two communities of the SAM origin, both alike friendly to the mother land of both, might be no shock either ts our fellow subjects across the At- lantic or to the Loyalists of Canada, if other coneiderations could be got over. Such a political ension might then be acquiesced in by roAny preent opponents of union, and might be even hailed by thorn as the pre- cursor of the political union for common objects of ell Englieh speaking countries, including those whose populations may not be wholly Eriglislaspeickieg, This, again, humeniteriens would like to think, might be followed by the union of all civil- ised nations for objects common to them ail, including the ahandbriment of the enormous armies which have now to be kept on foot for their defence against one another. This, certainly, would be a grend and glorious conaurnmation which both Cana- diana and Americans might proudly aspire to end earnestly work for. And if political union is ever brought about we fancy it will only be on just such conditions as Mr. Mowat lays down above. As for the ani- . mosity, tt does not amount to very much on either side of the line, for it exiets on the one side ad well as on the other. It is being kept alive only by pelitical demagogues for pureoses, and even to this extent it is . so rapidly dying out with A fair in- terchange of commerce it would very eoon be- come extinot,ae eveu now among the most of the people ouboth sides there exist only the inomt friendly reed kindly' feelings. . To our mind the strengest point made .by Mr. Mowat is dontained in the following para- graph : . In case; of annexation Canada would be no more. It would, as a political organization, I be effaced from the map of the world. An- nexation weuld be an absolute transfer of , thie great country and all its resourcee and IFederal intere.sts fro n its owu people to the 1 people of the United.Stetes, The, repitesen- , tatives at Wieshingthn. of our 5,000,00 of 1 people would be out -Weighed • twelve times' 1 over by the representatives of the 63,000,000 1 who occupy the present St ctes of the Uiiion. Mr.. Mowat does ntagive the Independ- . erita munh encouragement. The ground he takes on this questimt is, we think; indisput- able when he sees : ,-, The tint. e hes ni Canada into an inde who think so are dee Provinces of the Do for union as a nation ficiently knit togethe Canedians.

He thinks it -is Sentiment which in a thousand vays rules the world. Perhaps it is ; but se f-intereet, has a good - dealt° do with it to . His argument on this line is so well an wered in the editorial columns of the Globe that we give the ex- tract in full. In revci wing this part of Mr. Alowat's letter the Cd ise--says : Sentiment is a grea force, but it has its limits. The dentime tal attachment of the British peopls to theii Sovereign, who is the symbol of their coltinuous existence, has always been profoundli; yet it did not pre- vent them from deposhig and slaying some of their kings at a time, too, .when the divine right was a ficurishing (1th:trine, so little did their loyalty count when it came into colliaion with their material interests, Sentiment in the form of love for home and kindred is sentiment t its strongest, neverl theless dhring the last ten years a million native and European -born Canadia.ne have cressed the line for gdod and all solely to better their material fhrtunes. In 1878 Mr. George Brown oppess the National. Policy, principally .on the round that it would weaken British conn etion. His articles were pitched in &high key and produced a great effect upon nice • Liberals; but Sir John's defiant cry o -"So much the wcrse for the 'connection " rang from the Tory platforms and swept tFe country in conjunc- tion with his scheme for making everybody rich by taxation. Fro these and other ex- amples which might b quoted we may con- clude that it would ha dly be eafe for any Canadian party to rely altogether upon an appeal te sentiment for the maintenance of the connection with B itain. 1 That is just what we think, and thus far it is maiuly sentiment hat haa been employ- , --- ed -by all the great guni who have spoken or written on that side of !the subjeet. The Ball altd Chain. Grip had a cartoon in its issue of last week which, hits off to a nice fy the 'Imperial Fed- eration fad, which some very good and very loyal men are now ad locating. They pro-. gi, fess to believe that En land will I!consent to lay a duty on imports from all fox;eign coun- tries and admit those from Canada and the other colenies free. Th arrangement would be a very good one for the colocies, but it is the improbability of England ,doiugetny- thing of the kind that! Grip brings out so nicely in its cartoon. We have Sir Charles Tupper, CaroadA's Hi h Commissioner in England, with a chain n one hand and his plug hat in the other. Attachedto one end of this chain is a collar, and to the other end a large ball. The colt r is labelled "Pro- tection," and the ball has inactibed on it, " Dear Bread, Scarcit , Sufferiing, Rebel- lion." The chain has a tag attached to it, on which are the word , " Disriminating Duties in Favor of t e Colonies on Im- ports," 'In front of Si Charles is a great, - big, burly Englishman with a dark frown on his face, and in the back ground are the English Premier and his great opponent, Mr. Gladstone, looking n with an amused, emile on t ach counts nice. Sir. Charles, with blandest face a d a most cunning smile, holding out the hain towarde John Bull, asks, " Would yell mind putting this on, Mr. Ball, toeoblige the colonies ?" To which modest request Mr. Bull replies, " What do you take m for ?" In its com- ments on the cartoen G ip puts,the case very plaiuly thus : Sir C. Tupper is not lone in his notion that John Bull will com round in due time to the views of the Imp Hal Federationists. In Canada there are to e found intelligent men who have in some ay convinced them- eelves that there is a pos bility of this.

THE Canada Presbyter an puts the case in its right light when it says : " The election courts are hard t work showing how innocent men are ofte punished under cover of law while guilty en escape. The creature who sells his vot and thus proves his unfitness ,to exercise tl e privileges of a freeman escapes without ny punishment, while the candidate who p rhaps was quite anxious te conduct the election fairly is un- seated and conspelled to ay an enormous bill of costs. Why not dhsfraechise for a term of years or for life ev to have taken a bribe. there would be few corru country in en or fifteen ye red electioh petitions of would sweep away a largo number of them." If we had, added to this, a law compelling every elector to go to the polls and deposit his ballot onder pain of disfranchisement, unless he could give e valid feason for his ne- glect, the election court wotild soon be a less ry man proved Were this done t voters in the in.

It wouldt'be inter- esting as well as pr ,fitable, however, if soinch of these who advocAte Independence would specify some of 'the material edvantages which Canada wou d gaiu by independenee that she does not n'sw, enjoy,. It esuuds very nice to talketboot Canada as a NATION, and all that sort of thing, but to use a som.swhat: hackneyed phrase, there's no mouey in itd It seermeto us that in so far as Canada is. concerned, Independence practically means disintegration. Al out the only cohesive in- fluence there is Doe to keep the Provinces together and about the only interest they have in common, is that which is caused by -their connection with the mother country. Remove that and the result Will be seper- ation, to be followed by annexation to the United Stateg. We .rnight,therefore, just as well adopt tho tter at once, as by the roundabout road of Independence. Tun Mitchell Re order says " Mr. Sot. White's arguments must be met, either by argument or ceutie ntal free trade, or ho is going to do misahie ." This is as true as preaching, but sentimental noneense about the old flag wbn't ill the bill.

Mr. Ja mon seemed to put emperanbe before Party as much as he could, and that is mo e than can be said of many. The Consery tives of North Lanark have already chosen heir candidate in the person _ of Mr. B. Rosamond, the great woolen manufacturer It it likely he will be elected, as the co stithency is strongly Conservative, Mr. J mieson's majority at the last election bein over three hundred.

Since Mr. Huntington's death, no Liberal has been so persistently persecute as has Mr. Cameron.

True, the Annexatio trweement is mostly in the tongues of a fe speculative politi- cians. It has no fore , no popularity, and is not dowered with lif enough to die. So says the wise acre of the Toronto Tele- gram. How these 94 chaps do talk. But what does the Edito of the Telegram know about it any ay ? He has been cooped up all his life with the bloated monopolists ; the red parlor devotees and the im lenient, sugar and cotton lords who have rown sleek and fat and puffed out on th fruits of the N. P. They don't want any hange,—not they ! They are quite satisfied ith things as they are, as well they may be, and, of course, they are super -loyal.

SOIREE.—The soiree, in connection with the Presbyterian Church here, on Monday evening, was a success. In spite of the elements, which always seem to be against like occasions here, a very lerge number of people partook of the good things that were provided by the ladies of the congregation, _ at the Forester's Hall, After all had done ample justice to the inner man at the hill, and the rather dampened apirits of those who had come from a dietance were made cheer- ful by the influence of that easy end brilliant place, all repaired to the church to enjoy the literary part of the programme. The pastor,Rev.A. Hartley,in his usnal pleas- ant manner occupied the chair, a fact which has not a little to do with the invariable sac- cers that attends our eptertednments here. Rev. Mr. Walwin, of Bluevale, mule a few pleaeantremarks, and then left- the platform in favor of his brethren, who had come front a distanee. Revs. Messrs, Ross, of Brus- sels, andeflughes, of Wingham, gave excel- lent addresses. In the course of his addrees Mr. Rose : Young men should have a purpose in life, a plan, push and persever- ance, their actions should be guided by principle, Mr. Hughes spoke of the eocial relations of preacher and people ; people should aid the preacher by a criticism of his sermons to himself ; they should be social in their relations to preacher 'and congre- gation, aboup be liberal, should be peace- makers, &c. • The lectures were very inter- esting and instructive, and the manner in which they wen listened to and applauded showed that they were highly appreciated. Mr, George Duffield, of Wingha , sang m his usual pleasing manner. He as become quite a fa,vorite with a Bluevale audience, as was amply testified by the !mid encores that greeted his performances. Mr. Gracey, of Winghain, gave some select readings. Mr. Gracey is too well and favorably known to need any comment here. We may add, however, that he out did himself on this occasion. Its a mercy the home did not come down when he read selection from "Innoceuts Abroad," and Mr. Brown has got hie hair eute" The vocal and in- strumental performances of the Wingham Quartette club, composed of the Misses Watson, were simply gtand, and it would be diffi-cult te say,which the audience appreci- ated most their performance on the violin or their songs. ,The Missts Watson have rare talent, and their excellent taste in selections together with their natural and easy man- ner, sa free from stagey ways, are sure to make them favorite's, We are almoet too modest to say that the sekctions by our choir were well rendered and well received, and were in every respect worthy of mentiArt here. The soiree was in every way a suc- cess, and the young people under whose managPment it was conducted ars to be congratulated. The worst feature -was the going home. It was, indeed, Tam O'Shanter weather, and " skelping on through dib and mire " with the not too refreshing rain, pouring down, was anything but pleasant. Tuckersrnith.

The causes of complaint were readily removed by the parties. The report wahaccepted. Accounts galore were presented and paid. The late freshet hav- ing considdrably swollen the list, quite a number of culverts were displaced and em- bankments damaged, but fortunately none of the large bridges suffered. A statement of accoutts paid would be very dry reading fcr your numerous subscribers, interesting to but a few of our ratepayers and these we refer to our printed financial statement, which will appear in a few days, One pay- ment of unusual character was the funeral expenses of the late R. Simpson, whose body was found on the town line, near Chisel - burnt, where he died from strong drink and exposure.
