There is a trite saying to the effect, “ that he who will not work shall not eat." in this saying is evolved a most importantpriiiciple. It implies that nothing is to be at- tained without perseverance, and a resolve to “do or die.” Uni- versal history teaches that good to be achieved, or evil to be success- fully resisted, demands vigorous labor, united effort; and never was determined resolve more needed than now. Who that reads but knows that in this Canada of ours we have unpriuciplcd but energetic politicians, who if successful in their nefarous designs, will drag our noble Province down to irre- trievable ruin? It is so plain, and blushing, that whose runs may read ;. for, like wreckers, they hold out a delusive light, which if fol- lowed will wreck the noble vessel on the sands of Dissolution, and they will revel in the plunder get- thercd from so untoward a disaster. Need we add that the party we al» Iiide to is the Clear Grit party,atthe head of which is the reckless Brown. In King’s Division we shall shortly have to measure strength with this party. Already they have begun to abuse and misrepresent us. They call us “Jllmistcriofists, De- gruders of Upper Cirnada Pan‘dercr to .7“. the moutinparty. Corruptionists,’ and a host of other vile names, and thus they attempt to excite the passions of the people against us, being per- fectly aware that “ hard words burn ;” and as they have no argu-. meals but those which have been oft refuted, calling names is their only resource. As proof, let any reader of the Economist read “John Smith,” and the rejoinders of “ Common Sense, $.50." in the Tri- bune and Herald, and they will find that the arguments have been oh the side of “ Common Sense,” and the billingsgate has been “ John Smith.” Let any one who desires informa- tion, also read the discussion be- tween the Globe and the Leader on the Previncial Expenditure, and he will be astonished at the shameless mendacity of the Globe and its sa- tellites. Nor is this all; not. only have we of the moderate and con~ stitulional party proud the Grit press guilty of endless munchausens. but like the renowned Kilkenny cats, the Reformers themsclwis, when tired of abusing the “ Minis- terialists,” have- turned round and devoured each other, as seen in. the set too betwoen Foley and Brown, who in broad day accused each other 'of being unp‘rincipled syco- phants. Then there is the editor of the Hamilton Times" proving to a de~ monstration that Geo. Brown is a wolf in sheep’s clo'thibig; and lately the Seignorial Tenure question, or “ where is that document” wherein true eminent Reformch give the lie direct to each other, proves beyond cavilv that ever since the Grits were two days in office,it has been Satan abusing, Satan amongst them. Yet this is the party who with unabash- ed forchead calls us of the. Moder- ate Party ill names; and these are the men with whom We in King’s Division have to fight, and who are constantly boastingâ€""even nowâ€"â€" that they are sure of victory. That they have been successful oftimes in the past, is too true. Do we ask why? The reply is easy ; it is that of the poor apple woman, who though generally out of bed at peep 0’ day, found her apples all stolen one fine morning; and~w~hen some one who was condoling her said, it’s strange the apples were stolen replied, aye! but knavery rises long before honesty. And so it is in reference to the Grit party ; they have been always ahead‘of us, and stolen a march whilst we slept. Why, even in King’s Divisiontwo of the present aspira‘fn‘sti; the. no- mination have been hard at work for years preparing for this struggle; and one of them even now has tra- velled through toe entire division, and has employed agents who are plying {their arts with an! industry triumph for their employer. Yet another reason why they have gain- ed their triumphsover us is‘, that al-' though like the Jews at the siege of Jerusalem they fight with them- selves when the Romans arc away, yet the moment the enemy appears, they with one accord rush unitedly to the conflict. To these two peculi- arities, EARLY on THE FIELD, AND UNITED AGAINST us, have the Grit party owed their truinphs in the past, whilst for the want ofthese ele- ments ourjust cause has sometimes suffered loss. It is to secure the Moderate Party against such a dis- aster in the coming struggle, that we venture thus to write. In little more than a week the delegates will meet at Marr’s Hotel, Markham Village, (on Saturday the 30th inst.) there to choose a Candi- date. On that choice much depends; and we hope that each man will go there determined to act solely for the public good. But we would impress upon every individual the grand fact that when the Candidate is chosen the battle is only begun. The next thing is to elect. him.â€" Our opinion is that steps ought im- mediately to be taken to canvass the entire division. We must have no honorary members. We want all to work. and work hard. The times we live in are fraught with danger to our Province. To avert that danger should be the-aim ofour Moderate Party, and in order to do our share of the workfo'bc dono,‘ we must elect our man. , We must not rest till we place. him at the head of the poll. It can be done, if we only work with a will. We must bury the hatchet of all pri- vate preferences or animosities ; and if we know any oneâ€"even'ifl a private foe-â€"that will Work and use his influence for the common good, let us work shoulder and shoulder with him. Our foes are concentrating their forces. Let us not wait to be attacked, but like brave men, go out to meet them.â€" Let the watchword of our party he no Dissolution of the Union and Constitutional Reform. WE DE- FEND NO WRONG; WE UP- HOLD NO INJUSTICEI but at the same time let usI be determined to politically kill our opponents. But whilst de- termined to win the battle, let us all remember that the only weapons to be used are the weapons of truth»? and justice. To the moderate men worthy a better cause, to gain-ea: lSioily, Italy, and, the Church. There are those in every age who preach up the doctrine of the divine right of Kings, ignoring the fact that a king and the 't'great r, unwashed are alike the created ones. Thus if kings have, rights, they have also duties,‘ apd when the governed are enslaved, the. rightful king descends toa Despot; and all people have a right to enjoy civil and religious liberty, and if denied to them and all other means fail, then they are perfectly justified to try and regain their inalienable rights by the strong right arm, as it never was the design of the great “I am” that the few were to be tyrants, and countless millions slayes: and though deploring revo- lutibns,still we hold that revolutions are just. when and. only when they are inevitableâ€"such for instance as that fierce conflict which drove Charles I. from thefthrone of Eng- land, and which a’little laterhurled EJames from power, and gave the licrown to the Immortal William, {Prince of Orange ; and on the same grounds whilst we deplore. the necessity, yet we bid God speed lto Garibaldi and the Italian Pa in their struggle "against hoary- headed despotism and gigantic wrong. We feel that these patriots have a kindred spirit with our forefathers, who so nobly and gal- lantly fought. to give to us the liber- ties which, as British subjects, we nUw enjoy. The people of Italy are rising in! their mightâ€"~let tyranny beware! Sardinia’s star is in the ascendant, and We hope soon to see Italy free from the Alps to the Adriatic. Al- ready the Neapoliian Government is doomedâ€"that Governii‘ient has long subverted all that is good, up- rooted all that is free, and been a standing mockery of all law, human and divine. As proof, look at the horrible tortures inflicted by King Francis. Flogging by the balston- lnade is openly practised, asrecently ja lady, “ far gone in pregnancy, perished under the lash." Another lperson for carrying a letter in cipher had his hands and feet tied ; was! put into a sack, and held in the wa- ter until he could .move no longer; was tlien'restored, and as he stated that he had nothing to confess, was plunged again into water, from which he died. The iliuiribscrew is used, and a tourniquet, which when applied to the head. makes the eyes start forth and almost drop. Then there is an armed chair, in” which the victims (if this accursed gdvornment areplaced-in a sort of gridiron, under which is a pan of coals, “ an angelic instrument” by which the limbs the victims are crushed, and otlieif§,toi-turers too nu- merous to mention are constantly practised; and yet we, as Protes- tants, are taunted with insincerity because we fervently pray for the downfall of such a monstrous des- potism. Who that loves humanity will not join in such a prayer. As Protestants, we Wish for no revolution in Italy [or elsewhere, simply because they are Catholic countries. We sympathise with Italy and Garibaldi, because we be- lieve in civil and religious liberty. We want to see man recognised as man, and allowed to enjoy the rights of citizens, independent of any creed, and as such is not the case in the fair plains of Italy, till Italy is free from both spiritual and temporal domination, we shall sympathise with this brave people in their struggles. There is no inconsistency in our creed ; the inâ€" congruily rests with those who up to the present moment cry justice to Ireland, who preach about the tyranny of a State Church, and who every week fill their papers with vituperation against England’s inâ€" justice to Ireland. and,th defend a thousand fold greater wrong in Sicily and Italy. Strangers and foreigners are constantly sending letters of condolence “to the. “ Holy See,” because Rome .wishes to free itself from his temporal yoke ; and yet call the Bible SoOieties, Home Missions and otherâ€" Societies, ill names for trying more moral sua- sion to convert what, they and we believe the people from the error of their ways. Surely if ever incon- sistency is glaring, *it- is here.â€" Again, the True Withers says that Protestantism makesgthe Church bow to the .State. - Surely he forgot Chillingworth, who states “ that the ‘ Bible !’ alone is'the'religion of Protestants l” Indeed, as Protestants, we are opposed to a state church; we want thechurchand the world to be dissev'ered. We loathe. from our inmost soul, the State Church of Ireland, the Maynooth Grant, and Pio Nono being temporal King of 5:) numbers in a year, comprising 832 ' Rome. He has a perfect. right, if Roman Catholics desire it, to be their spiritual head; he may hold the spiritual keys of St. Peter if he choose, it is an affair of Roman Catholics and not ours. What we [object to is the temporal power he 'wields contrary to. theâ€"wishes of the people. Dissever the tenipal . \Vrsll-lCIIOWD . Patent Solicitors, obey his behests orlsuufler the con- Sequences" Of their cohtumacy. If the. Romlsthrelates had refused the gold and then been branded as' felons for disobeying the behests of the King, although differing from them in creed, we would have ap- plauded their pluck apd denounced Sardinia. At present it looks ions as mean to receive the wages and then refuse to perform the work.â€" As it is, all true Protestants can but rejoice at Garibaldi’s success, and wish the struggle not to cease till the Pope is shorn of his tem- poraliiies, and they gain for them- selves that lor which they are stri- vi.iig,namelyi to escape from a cruel and bloody despotism. It is Irish Roman Catholics who are. incon- Sistent and not Protestant Britain. We, with them, would cry justice to Ireland. but more than that we cry yes lâ€"and to Italy, Sicily and the wide world. VICTORIA SQUAREâ€"The tenth annual Soiree of'the Rising Star Division, S. ofT. NO. 176, was held at Victoria Square. The day was a lovely one, and a goodly company sat down to an excellent tea, pro- vided by the ladies of the neighbor- hood, Afler which Henry Lever, Esq., was called to the chair, and addresses Were delivered by D. Reesor, Esq, Mr. Garton, Mr. Dyer and others ; but the greatest no- velty was the admirable manner in which four lads (whose names we did not learn) recited a dialogue be- tween 21 druukard, a moderate drinker, and a lectolaller. 'l‘rud- geou's Masonic Band was present, and we need not, say gave the most entire satisfaction. They had also an adjourned Soiree lhe next day, which was well attended; indeed two delightful days were spent. pHWâ€"â€" TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION AT S’I‘OUFFVILLE.-â€"â€"On Monday last, the lSth inst., the S.

Mark- ham Village; Adam Wilson, Esq., M.P.P. for NOith York and Mayor of Toronto; Mr. Tagarl. Stow-Dr. Prevel presidii‘ig. The.

The“ Scientific American” has been published for fifteen years, by the I Messrs. MUNN 8L Co., 37 Park flow, New York, and has yearly increased in interest and circulation, until it. has attained, we under- stand, nearly 30,000 subscribers, which is the bestofevideiice that the publication is appreciated by the reading public. To those of our readers who may not be familiar with the character of the paper, we will state some of the subjects of which it treats. Its illustrated descri- ptyons of all the most important iii'iprove- merits in steam and agricultural machinery, will commend it to the Engineer and Far- mer, while the new household inventions and shOp tools which are illustrated by en- gi‘avings and described in its columns, with the practical receipts contained in every number, renders the. work desirable to housekeepers, and almost indispensable to every mechanic or smith who has a shop for manufacturing new work, or repairing old. The “ Scientific American” is univer- sally regarded as the inventor’s advocate and monitor; the repository of American inventions, and the great authority 0n law, and all business connected with Patents. The Ollicial List of Claims, as issued weekly from the ,Patent Office, in Wash- ingtOn, are published regularly in its columns. All the most irriportont Patents issued by the United States Patent Oflice are illustrated and described on its pages, thus forming an unrivalled history of Am- ericaniiiVentions. It is not only the, best, but the largest and cheapest paper devoted to Science, Mechanics, Manufactures, and the Useful Arts published in the world. I-Ion. Judge Mason, formerly Commissioner of Patents, is not only engaged with the publishers in their, immense Patent Agency department, but as a writer on Patent Laws and Prac- tice, his ability is forcibly portrayed in the columns of this paper. The “ Scientific American” is published once a week, (every Saturday) each num- ber contains 16 pages of Letterpress, and from 10 to 12 original Engravings of new Inventions, consisting of the most improv- ed Tools, Engines, Mills, Agricultural Machines and Household Utensils, making pages, and over 500 Oroginal I‘lngravnigs printed on heavy, fine paper. in a form ex- pressly for binding, and all for $2 per annum.

BLONDiN’s WALK YESTERDAY.â€" Judging from the small number of persons who assembled at the Suspension Bridge . yesterday at'ternt on to see Bloudin walk across the Niagara River on a rOpe, the interest in the little foreigner is a good deal abated. Not over 52.000 persons witnessed his feats yesterday. About a' quarter past four he left the United States side of the river. (.ll‘eSScd in the usual tights of an acrobat, and crossed the rope in nine minutes. having during that time made se- vral extraordinary sumersnults, and divers wonderful gyrations, and restel three or four times to have photographe of him taken. After remaining for about an hour on the Canada side he prepared to renew and perforn the wonderful feat he had an- nouncedâ€"walking blindfolded, and envel- oped in a sack. He Was not quite on- veloped, however, for the sack did not reach far below his loins. though covering his head completely.

The time occupied by' the- tempest in making the entire distance- cannot yet be correctly estimated. \"c know merer ‘that it swept over \Vebstef' county, Iowa, on Sunday afternoon, and.' Ottawa county, Michigan, on Sunday night. It is believed that not lessthanr. 175 persons were killed and mono than. 9.00 injured. NAPLES INVOKING INTERVENTION.â€" Tne King of Naples we learn by the-v Ariel, appealed to the Great Powers to in- tervene and guarantee the integrity of‘ his dominion against his re‘volted subjects. England and France have ‘severally‘dew clineil the invitation; which settles the question of intervention. At the same time, Piedmont is to be advertised by all» the leading Powers. except Austria, .not i, l to meent disturbance in the Neopolitain. dominions, in order'zthat{anon-interventions may be carried ouf' completely in good.» faith. Now that the Sicilians are, to be allowed to work out tibeiri‘own destiny,. without hostile interference from any quarter. there is very little reasonto fear- the result.
