Of all history Ecclesiastical his- tory is in many respects the most interesting: for Ecclesiastical his- tory is in an especial degree the history of the working of man’s soul; but while it is one of the most interesting fields of research, it is, alas! one Of the saddest; for here the perfidy of man is seen in its blackest colours, for although it is true we now and again got gli‘ii‘ipscs of an heroic and lofty soul, \vbo spurns a bribe, and who values a principle dearer than life, yet we oftimes see the hypocrite and Ian-ave \vho knovs no soul but cash! nor higher principle than aggraudiscment, bringing ills and dire destruction upon every cause with which be may have been identified; for it follows “as the night the day,” that no man or set of men can play the dastard or hypocrite sucâ€" personal cesslully without damaging the cause which they profess to serve. We wish this important truth to be understood, and appreciated by the men of the nineteenth cen- tury, as we are proud to call our- VVe boast of our Leviaâ€" thaus and Railways, our Tclegraphs and Atlantic cables. But with all this just cause for boasting, \ve selves. very much four that if we were weighed this moment, in the bal- ance, we should be found wanting, principle and honor; the charge we are perfectly aware is sweep- ing, and the proofs of the correct- ness of’lhe charge we contend are We have now before us the Toronto not few. one glaring proof.

He has been uni- fovmlv one ()I the most bitter op- ponents Of the Roman Catholic religion; her most holy of hOlIcs be has treated with contempt; her Nunucries and Monasteries; hci' schools and her churches have been alike vilified “ by the blackest ’ He has pushed Pro- testantism to the verge of bigotry; culuirrnies ’ in short it has l1(‘-'.'11 his boost to be the unflinching clruIirpiOn of the Protestant religion.

Toronto. Yes, we again repeatâ€"a fuel that no Catholic dare attempt to denyâ€"that George. Brown’s a Roman Catholic IIIojori'rv ; and this from a church proudly boasts unity and iiIfallibility. Is this boast a fact or fiction ?â€" uiajmilv is \in \Yc leave the problem for those to solve \le0 supported the man lwho asserts that her“refigiou Is '21 lie and a pestiferous curse.”â€" Do they tell us that they had but a choice of evils. We grant it.â€" Thcy had two courses open to frcr - them. Not to vote for the Clear Grit chief, and keep their consci- ence invoifablc, or vote for him, and sell those principles which should be dearer to them than life. The result shows the metal the Caâ€" marlc (If. IVe cer. tainly thought that they would as soon have voted for the Arch Fiend himsclf as G.

It is \vOI'ilIy only of mean souls, and bought you \VOII'I sell you. Out on such voting. we are very sorry that such articlcs were in such plenty on the 27th and 28d) of August in the city of Toronto. But say some of our renders, it itllc matters to us fiow the Cathr- lics have voted. The question is, have we got the right man in the right place? We answerdecidedly, we have not. Again, also the proofs of our assertion are numer- IVC do not Dcmngogucs; ous and invulncroblc. \vant windy we \Ve do not want political Charlatans; we want men of foresight, principle and prud- want statesmen. once. And where are the proofs that Mr. Brown possesses any of these qualifications? Instead of a statesman he has proved himselfun obstructionist; for nearly all the business of the Session was done after G. B. and his party vacated their seats. He has ability We grant you; but it is the ability of the fault-finder, and energetic hun- ter, and discoverer of marc’s nests; and proves that like other merchandise, be is to be bought and sold to the highest bidder. For if it is Irue that Catholics unwiscly gave him their vote, it is also true that he sought it, and sought it not in the must honorable manner either ; for even his address was not a broad cnunciation of principle, but as the Montreal True IVz‘tncss says : his late bricf Premiership " A'. the same time, by nstrange combination 0f ’cIrCIIIIISIaIIces which for a moment seemed .0 place within his reach the much desired prize of office. he found himself compelled to avail himself of" the assistance of Catholics; and therefore, to moderate somewhat. of that hosti- l-ty which, in order to keep on good terms with his ' Ao-Popery ’ dev 1. he professes to enter-- taiII against them. Hence the ambiguity ,jp his language which we noticed in our last; an ambiguity from which some have _rashl_r concluded that George Brown was a fit allv for Catholics; but in which we can detect nothing but additional proofs. that. the man is a “ time- server,” and of his utter want of principle.” 0 Therefore, we say again, that We have got the wrong man in the wrong place; and we firmly be- lieve that the Roman Catholiss and Protestants of Toronto will yet see reason to regret the choice they have made; for another session “’1” be wasted in personal squab- bles, and the welfare of the people be unheedcd. wrong choice. This comes of a >04 TORON TO ELECTION. This election came off on Friday and Saturday lust.

It so happens that Collins and another were the only residents of \Vard No. 3, whose names were returned by pathiriast- ers, for non-performance of statute labour, and in both cases, the Reeve, when read- ing OVer the list on July 6th, us he came 10 either of the names,asked me if I knew anything about them, my reply was, “ not anything whatever,” consequently they were left with the others to be preceedcd against. NOW, briefand unsatisfactory as your correspondent’s short hand notes are in this case, had I known as much on July 6th, or had even any other member of the Council, the name of Collins woulrl‘ cer- ' his possession with my name at- who up to Ihat time had rested nine years in his grave. Upon learning this, I sent a communication to the Colonist, in which I think Isuccess- fully rescucd the churaclcrof my brother from any participation in that disgraceful transaction. 1 next proceeded to ask the. Colonel what he did with the Quaker Men- onist and Tunkard's exemption money for the. years 1837 and 1838, and also, what he tlltl with the amount of lines he held in his frauds belonging to the chiment; and further, what he had done with twenty-six stand of new arms and accmurcinculs belonging to the Government: as I have said, he never thought fit to answer any of‘ibcse questions. ' I now, Mr. Editor, fearless of a Libel Suit, wish you and the pub- lic to understand that these quesâ€" tions may now be construed into direct charges of eiribczzleiueut by 11113 against Col. Crookshunk. I now proceed to the \Villium Slack case. J. 15. states that I af- firm that Slack died worth from $2,400 to $2,800. I have since, been informed upon authority, upon which I can rely, that Slack did \vurth $3,000. J. B. next states that Slzrck’s will is now in the possession of Col. Crookshankâ€" (I do not know any Ollltl‘ posses- sion it could be i1i)â€"and that about twelve (lays ago he had shewn this will to a number of his friends, who can testify that my name. is there only zisri \vit- nests. Did these friends observe if there was any certifican of re- gist ration endorsed upon it 9 (which, I believe, is invariably the case.)â€" If not, I would recommend them to go back and take another look at it. Now, Mr Editor,ifCOl.Cr00k- shank has any such document in lached to it as a witness, I declare the same to be a villuuous Forgery, and I dare him to produce it. J.

Now, Sir, does the l‘tspt‘ct of the Council for the recom- mendation of nearly fifty influential and re- spectable persons, and with the admitted difficulties of the case also in view, by r-x- tending in the midst of harvest, Keirl‘s time for one month, for performing his labour, justify the charges of “ childish vacillation and infirmity of purpose,” and the insults and admitted ridicule heaped on the Council by your correspondent. I therefore claim as the verdict of an irriparlinl public, that in cases, one, two and three, no proof has been adduced, that when these cases were left for prosecution, the Council was in full possession ofnll the evidence afterwards produced before the magistrate, or, even ofihe leading features of the cases. And in the fourth case, that of Keirls, that the Council, in yielding to the expprcssion of public opinion, by exâ€" tending for one month, the period for per- forming his statutc labour, did not display the “ childish vacillation and infirmity of ungencrous. as III‘ has ever been lr'catrd by a majority of the presrnt Council with kindness and confidence; and I, for one, should have been the first to have stood between him and calumny.

My only object has been to do fend myself and my colleagues from mis- representation and unjustifiable censure, if in doing this, I have done so in a tone and manner introduced in the first place by your correspondent, he has now no right to complain ofhis being‘ blackguarded,’ he has only himself to thank for it. IIad his com rneiitary on the minutes ofthe Council been written in a calm and candid spiritofcriti- cism, as the acts of public bodies should be discussed, he may depend upon it, no personal reflections would have been cast upon him by me. Your correspondent,with great kind- ness, gives us a very correct. explanation of the meaning arid use of the word“ ad- judication.” If this was intended for my benefit, it was quite unnecessary, as fused the word advrsedly,â€"â€"thc circumstances fully warranted me in so doing.

Disliking controversy of any kind, and especially newspaper controversy, and be- lieving that I have fully and fairly exonerâ€" ated the township Council from the unâ€" founded aspersions of your correspondent, this letter must close the correspondence on this subject on my part, but while I oc- cupy a seat at the Council table, I shall ever be ready to defend my colleagues from unfounded charges, or unjustifiable censure, whether pi'opounded by your special or any other correspondent.

SIn,â€"Y0ur Municipal Council contrary to use and wont of former years and Councils, having seen fit to exact payment of the Statute Labour Tax from the occupants of several forms in the Township of Scarboro’, through which neither side-fine, concessio‘n, or any other municipal road passes, and further oemanded pro forma by aIi order from the Councilman for the' ward, and by producing the tax-collectâ€" . have now no resource left but to give notice, that unless redress be granted within a reasonable period of time, a suit will be entered against your Municipality in the proper court, and at the expiry of the usual time after this, with the View of compelling you in the event of your not refunding the amount paid, and granting exem- tion pro item to Open the concession and side-lines ordained by law. The tenant or proprietor in the pvcsont instance has expended more than the amount paid in making and repairing the road at present passing through his farm, as can be certified by any competent per- son appointed to arbitrate the mat ter.
