must not be forgotten that the Clear Grits make a boast of doing things unlike anybody else. This is one of the strongest of their distinctive features, the only solid “ plank” in their otherwise very ricketty “ plat- form.” Considering what an in- difference these worthv men pro- apt to flatter itsell'owith that com stderation. The London Tums has ere now written on Ten THUMB, JOHN THOM and BARNUM; but the first continued still to remain a dwarf, the second did not cause to be an im] 0 ;tor, the third was nor a humbug. All gained more tcrn- porary notoriety, but none any lusting fume, by the notices so at- forded them. W’e consider it no- cessary to make this allusion to the conduct pursued by our great Enâ€" glish cotemporary, when small matters claimed its attention, partly by way of apology for our own course, and partly as a matter of justification for giving such promi- nence as we are about to doto such unpromising and unimportant in- dividuals as compose the clique-~â€" or party, let us sayâ€"-above alluded t). iVe of course allude to the modern Clear Grit, Bai-ebones faction. Although now rapidly decreasing in numbers, the avowed Clear Grits who held seats in thc Parlia- ment just dissolved, numbered something under-a score. But they were a noble and heroic little band, and, if their own assertions might be taken as evidence, there was no act of self-devotion, down to taking officeâ€"for the welfare of the coun- try, of courseâ€"which _ they were not fully prepared to submit to. On the some authority, such an im- maculate body of pure and uncorâ€" ruptible politicians has never be- fore been thrown in the way of a ueglectful and unappreeiative world. They all declare they have an intuitive hatred to parliamentary corruption only equalled by the intensity and genuineness of the dislike with which they regard the_ occupation of the Treasury Benches by any party unless it be their own; To be sure these voluntary testa- monials to their own superlative merits have the trifling disadvan- tade of not being corroborated by the evidence of any disinterested plrties; but, on the other hand, it Whatever the circumstances \vhicleay, happen. to evokean ap- peal to the country, a, general elec- tion can only be regarded as a na- tional crisis.

As before asserted, every' general election is more or less a period of national crisis, and the present is one of the most critical that we have yet had to (-11- counter.

THEW‘.‘ GLOBE ” NEWSPAPER “’KND 'ITS ECHOES. From time to time we have been exceedingly amused at witnessing the slavish manner in which a num- ber of our cotemporaries follow in the wake of the re(loxrihmiile*-Globe. With an eagerness worthy 5f la bet- ter cause, these small-fry jourhals copy (so far as their Jim-field space will permit) every cdiitorial. “ stun- ner” which is issuedby their dic- tator’s organ, and their editorials (l) are mainly composed of the distort- ed thunder ol' the Globe, re-hashcd for home consumption. N 0 auto- crate rules with more despotic sway than does George Brown among his lbw slavish folldwers of the country press, and no potentate’s will is more submissivcly obeyed than his by his dupes-0f the press-gang. They are not permitted to think for them~ selves on questions of public polity ; the moment they become refractory they are “Shot accordingly” through the Globe, and every‘exertiontis made to circumscribe their usefulness. No discordant note must be intro- duced into the Grand Howl against “the powers that be,” emenating from the Globe, and re-cchoed by the whole pack, in every imagin- able quality of “ thunder,” from. the sophistic style of the organ-in-chiel to the spasmodic squeak of the most remote penny-whistle. Should the Globe denounce an independent canâ€" didate for the sufi'rages of a constitu- ency, immediately the local repay takes up the hue and cry, and every Globular slander and lie is magni- fied tenfold, and every exertion is made to frustrate his Views. In our own neighborhood, the Markham Economist. and the New- market Era still remain faithful to the dictator’s mandates; and, fol- lowing the example of the Globe, the Conservative Candidates for East and West York are denounced in unmeasured terms, The readers of these journals cannot fail to per- ceive their close similarity to the metropolitan organ of the party, and With what avidity their editors snatch at every item relating to the three Ridings of York, however false and slanderous it may be. Their col- umns are filled, week after week, with garbled extracts and distorted versions of public affairs, and no ray of editorial sunshine is ever per- mitted to arrndiute the other side of the political picture; but, writ- ing with Globular spectacles on their eyes, everything is made sub- servient to party.
