DUGGAN‘S MEETING AT RICH- MOND‘ HILL. TIIE RETIREMENT OF MR. HOGAN FROM EAST YORK. Mr J- S. Hogan having been a can- didate in the Conservative interest at the last electoral contest in East. York, and having met with a very flattering support, many of that gentleman’s supporters-on that occasion, were de- sirous that he should be brought for- ward in the present contest. So strong had Mr. Hogan’s friends felt in the matter, that though aware that Mr. John Duggan was catwassing with marked:- success in the liberal Conservative interest, they still ex- pressed their determination to sup- port Mr. Hogan in the event of his coming forward. About ten» days didate for East York and commenced success it was attended it is not now our purpose to discuss. We must confess, however, it was with no lit- tle pain we beheld two candidates soliciting the sufl‘ragcs ofthe Electors, them men whose political views boxc the closest similarity; and while the chances of each were lessened the success- of the enemy was guaranteed. In this state of the matter, we will not disguise with what pleasure we learned that Mr. Hogan was in re- ceipt of a flattering requisition from the County of Grey, which after due deliberation he had accepted. Mr. Hogan left on \Vedncsduy to com- mence his canvass of Grey, and we are assured his prospects are very cheering. The friends of that gen- tlemen being relieved from their ob- ligations to him in consequence of very handsomely come forward and inIthlO‘tl their support to Mr. Duggan, and thus a united and hearty sup- port of the liberal Conservatives of the Riding is secured. In addition to the strength which Mr. Duggan has acquired by- thc retirement of Mr. Hogan.I “"9 have also to announce that Mr. Geo. P. Dickson having been nominated by the Clear Grits of West York, the most prominent signers of the requisition to that gentlemen to Wanna Alan dially tendered 'Mr. Duggan their support, and are most earnest in the canvass. The acquisition by Mr. Duggan of the friends of Messrs. Ilo- gap and Dickson will bring to him a tower of strength in the coming struggle, and if his supporters make due exertion, his election is certain. On Wednesday evening last a meeting of the Electors of East York was held at Wiseman’s Hotel for the purpose of selecting a fit and proper person to represent this Riding in Parliament. Col.

How' pitifully he was snubbed on that occasion must be familiar to all our readers. It is true he has since been entrusted with a seat in the Municipal Council of Markham, and the sheer contei‘npt with which his oratorical displays have been treated by his brother Councilmen, one would suppose Would have brought him to a sense of his inflated condition. Not so, however. It remained for him on Saturday last, at the Clear Grit Convention to put the climax to his numerals assumptions.

CLEAR GRIP IN G RATITUDE. Ingratitude is one of the peculiar features of Clear Gritism. Everyâ€" thing must be subservient to self. We see' this exemplified in \Vcst York. John W. Gamble, a liberal Conservative who has voted steadily in opposition to every government since the last election side by side with George Brown, has announced his intention to again contest West York-"in fact be has been for some time before the electors. Havâ€" ingr pursued a course so satisfactory to the Clear Grit dictator as frequentâ€" ly to obtain laudations from Brown’s paper, one would have supposed that jomnal eager in its advocacy of his claims. But, no, for from it. Mr. Gamble’s votes are all very well while they serve to swell the opposi- tion list, and he happens to have been elected. But, gentlemen, there is a new election, Mr. Gamble is a little too independent: besides, he is a Conservative, and he had better be -that delegates electors now present, from the entireIi M got rid of. Geo. P. Dickson is like- ly to be a more pliant tool, and Gam- ble. must be dropped. The latter gentlemen too respectable-«he may be dangerous. Here then is a lesson for Conservatives. Support the Clear Grits if you will; but mark l the moment your services can be dispen- Sed with-â€"-that moment you will be supplanted. Ably as J. S.

On Saturday last a grand pow-wow ofthe unterrificd Clear Grits of the East Riding of York, was held at Mil- likcn’s Corners, to discuss the rival claims of the various Candidates for Parliamentary honors who had taken the field since the announcement of a General Election, and to select from among them‘a fit and proper person to represent their views for the ensu- ing four years. After the lapse of conSiderable time, which was vigor- ously improved by the numerous as- pirants in marshalling their followers for the coming struggle, the meeting was convened in a cold and checrlcss ball, over the driving shed, adjoining Umphrcy’s Tavern, which was toler- ably \vcll filled by the electors from the surrounding townships, among whom we noticed several influential Conservatives, who had attended to watch the tide of events. Dr. \Vright was called to the chair, and Mr. A. Muir, appointed Secretary. I The Chairman, after thanking the meeting for the honor conferred upon him, in appointing him to preside over their deliberations, remarked that in consequence of the numerous Candid- ates _who aspired to represent the Re- ,” Mazes, of the Rifi‘iirgii‘rthe‘n'fifliie}; ‘W.‘Ec1iiia:dt, ‘UT‘Crosby’,’ Parliament, it had been I'Csolvt‘d to call the present meeting, in order to select a Candidate from amongthem, in opposition to the present Ministry, whose conduct be strongly denounced. lle stated that many who had formc'r- ly supported the present Cabinet, were now arrayed against them, and allud- ed, as a remarkable instance of that fact, to the requisition lately present- cd by the electors of Toronto, to Goo. Brownfivhirh he said had been signed by numbers of the most influential Orange.an in the City. He loo-de upon that requisition as a prooftha-t the Orangcmcn generally were op- posed to the “powers that’ be ;” but it was essentially necessary that the Reformcrs of the Riding should unite as one man upon a Candidate who would faithfully advocate their VlC\VS, and as he noticed several delegates present from the different sections of lltc Riding, he concluded by calling upon them to proceed at once to busi- ness and select their Candidate. Some conversation ensued amongr the candidates as to the proper mode of procecdurc, after Which Messrs. Rec- sor, Wright, and Dickson, were nomâ€" inated as a committee to name six- teen delegates from the Township of Markham, who should be entitled to vote in the selection ofa Candidate. Mr. Jacob Snyder strenuously ap- posed the motion. He considered that the electors alone had the right to appoint the delegates, and charac- terized the proposition as ridiculous in the extreme. ' Art irregular discussion followed, in which several individuals took part, and when the hubbub had partially subsided, Mr. James Pitzgibbon, in a grandiloquent and disjointed har- rangue, proposed Mr. Vthclcr, of Scarboro’, as a fit anrl proper person to represent the Riding in the next Parliament. The Chairman, wished first to as- ccrtain whether the meeting intended to vote on massc or by delegates. (Cries of “delegates, delegates”) Mr. Summerfield came forward and said that he had been connected with the Reform party fora number ofyears past, but of late be had become utter- ly disgusted with their policy. In the last Parliament they reformed “ from bad to worse,” and he was now pre- pared to vote for the rankest Tory who breathed. (Cries of “ put him down,” “tum him out” 830.) An amendment to the first resolu- tion was then moved by Dr. Doherty, scggmlul. bv.Mr.-C.orstm,_tQ the effect. be appointed by the Riding, who shall name the: Candid- ates. Mr. IVright doubted Whether the present meeting fairly represented the Riding. The object was to bring out the strongest man, and it required the greatest unity in, their ranks to frus- trate their opponents, who were as strong as ever. It required every Re- form vote in the Riding to carry the election, and if they all worked with determination he had no fear for the result; His past course was before the public, be still adheredtothe same principles, and with the constituency he was prepared to stand or fall. The other Candidates with their friends had been of late busily engaged can- vassing the Riding to secure the nom- ination of the present meeting; but for his own part, he had as. yet made no exertion, being content to leave the matter with the electors, and if he had again the honor of representing the constituency, he would work as ener- getically and faithfully in the cause as be had done heretofore. Mr. Fitzgibbon wished to know whether each Township was entitled to an equal number of delegates? The Chairman explained that in ac- cordance with their respective num- bers of population, Markham was en- titled to sixteen delegates, and each of the other Townships was entitled to eight, and the village of Yorkville to four. I Dr. Reid moved, seconded by Dr. Doherty, that the electors from each Township do now retire for the space of ten minutes, and choose their dele- gates. [Great disorder bere’ensued, which several individuals vainly endeavored to quell.] The Chairman said'tbat for several years past he had been mixed up with numerous meetings held in the East Riding of York, but he felt con- strained to say, that be had never seen one conducted in such an outrageous manner as the present. The last resolution was at length declared carried, and caucus-meet- ings of the electors from the different Townships were held forthwith, to nominate their delegates, which re- sultcd in the selection of the following persons.

After the lapse of about two hours, the door was thrown open, and the outsiders were admitted to learn the choice of the delegates. Order hav- ing been restored, the Chairman rose and (addressing Mr. \Vright}, said _t.l1at be was happy to announce, that after mature deliberation, the delegates had again chosen him as the Reform Can- didate for the ensuing election. Mr. “fright, in an expressive manâ€" ner, returned his thanks for the honor conferred upon him. He said be deeply felt the responsibility of the position in which he was placed. A great work was still to be done. Their political enemies were actively ct:- gagcd‘ in the contest, and would spare neither money nor exertion to secure the Riding. If his friends came for- ward tnanfully, he considered the Riding could‘ be wresth from the grasp of the Conservatives, as had been the case on former occasions; but every Reform vote required to be polled. Ilis principles were now what they had ever been, and be con- fidently referred the electors to his past conduct as a guarantee for the future. No illurements would ever induce him to betray the trust repos- ed in him.
