On Thursday evening, the 19th inst., Mr. Perry addressed a large 'meeting of the electors in Arnbler's Hall, Richmond Hill. The hall, ,Vt'lllcll is a very large one, was well filled with an attentive audience.â€" The meeting was organised, by calling Robert Marsh, Esq., to the chair. Mr. H. Edward’s, of the _ lYor'k iHsrald, acting as Secretary. Public Expenditureâ€"J'Putting iii the priming ,, The chairman explained that the object of the meeting was to select a litland proper person. to represent us surrounded on the West by the United States territory, di‘fliculties would arise, and the ultimate result most surely and certainly would be anneXation to the Unit- ed States. And to look at such a disso- lution from the "most favorable point of View, and without regard to remote con- sequences, if we pay seventy per-cent of the expenditure now, if we contribute severity per-cent of‘the revenue, the result would be that we would have to bear the largest share of the debt in the same pro- portion in case of a dissolution. And to use the words of Mr. George Brown in the House of Assembly in 1853 :--â€"“Who wanted to be a little] Province, with a little Governor, and little nations." No one. No well-wislier of, Canada could. (Applaus) The adoption of the printiple of representation by population, would, he contended settle and remove all our ditficul- ties with Lower Canada. It was a cor. rect, and a just principle, and a great mis- take had been committed that it was not is not a judicious Bankrupt Law much wanted ? Every ten years we had what was called a crisis; and 'then who were the men that went by the wall? Was .it the man who kept his breeches pockets always buttoned? (Cries of no, no.) No, it was not; it was the men who hazarded something for the common good, and laid out their capital in the walks of commerce, &c. What he would advocate was, that when such men failed,some chance should be given them to rise again, and not leave them to struggle on in penury and woe. During the late crisis through which We and the United States had passed. It was a fact that many of our most worthyuciti- zens had become unable to pay their debts. 'Was it right,he asked, to treat these unfortunate individus als as criminals l (Cries of no, no.) of Upper Canada, because they tended to break up our Common 7 Schools. [Cries of hear, hear.] The Chairman thcn invited any gentleman to address the meeting, or ask any questions, remarking that it was strictly a public meet- ing, and not a mere party meeting. Col. BRiDGFonD then moved, seconded by J. R. ARNOLD, Esq.,-â€" “That this meeting cordially en- dorse the political programme as enunciated by Mr. Perry, and pledges itself individually and col- lectively .to prpmote his election to the Legislative Council.” So great was the number of hands held up in thefavor of the motion that the chairman pro- nounced it carried. AMos WRIGHT, Esq., M.P.P., for East York, however, took excep. tion to the division, and requested In' the next place-,‘instead-of proving ever, ' position- assumed‘, he has proved notliingr' as he refused to accept the challenge of “ public investigation to prove his false asa sertions; andlin- the last place, instead of shewing the absurdity and untruthfulness and want of candor of his villifiers, he has only exposed his own ridiculous absutv dity and untruthfulness, as must evidently appear to a discerning public 5 and as for his showing the want of candowr of his villifiers, as he maliciously terms them, he has shown to the public that, as apublic' writer, lielias neither candour, honesty, or even common decency ; and that he writes in a spirit of vindictivencss, male- volence and bitter feeling, making the most unjustifiable attacks upon private character without the least" foundation, and resorting to the use of the most con- temptible ‘Billingsgate slander unbecoming any man, let alone the Editor of a public journal.

(to not i) Perry well known, two candidates in the fieldâ€"Mr. Perry, of Whitby, and Mr. Reesor, of Markham Village. Mr. Reesor was the nominee of the .Clear Grit Convention, and Mr. ,of the Moderate and Consti- }tutional Reform Convention. The great difference between the two gentlemen was on the Union of the Provinces. Mr- Recsor was in fa- vor of a Dissolution of the Union, jwith perhaps some undifined jornt 'authority, and Mr. Perry was in favor of keeping that union intact. He (the chairman), had no hesita- tion in saying that he was in favor of keeping the Union intact, at desist till they could get a Federa- 'tion‘ of all the Provinces. He be- lieved that a Dissolution of the Union would be very disastrous to Upper Canada, and to the farming community in particular. The ,ocean would be closed to us, and we should be left at the mercy of the United States; indeed it was his firm opinion that if the Union were dissolved, the next thing would be to annex us to brother Jonathan; and as a loyal subject of the British crown, he could never give his sanction to any tnovement having such a tendency. Mr. Perry =was, however, here himself to give ’the electors his otvn views on the political questions of the day, and he hoped that all would give him ‘a fair and impartial hearing. Mr. Perry then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. . He commenced by explained the change ,which hadta‘ken‘ place in the constitution that it would be no longer delayed, and at the taking of the census next year, would be conceded. But if our politicians who advocate the principle tosday, throw it up to-morrow, and run after"'j0int authority” schemes the next day, who, he asked was :to blame? Just so long as-tlie people al- lowed themselves to be duped by designing agitators, so long would they find them- selves placed at a disadvantage in obtaining all that was justarid necessary to protect their trite interests, and advance their wel- fare. But instead of stopping at the Uni- on, or splitirig up our noble Province into petty Municipalities, be (Mr. Perry) desired to advance agreat deal farther. He was far from. washing that things should remain as they are. He looked forward to one grand confederation oI all the British North American Provinces; he looked foward to the day when we should become a great nation, and a happy peopleâ€"«the brightest gem in Victoriar’s diadem beneathiâ€" -‘ That flag that braved a thousaiik years, “ The battle and the breezer ’ He was in favor of giving en- couragement to emigration, by giv- ing free, grants of land to actual settlers. He thought that Canada ought to receive as many emi~ grants as the United States ; and it was suicidal policy in any Govern- ment not to give every inducement possible to entice emigrants to our shores. There were our bound- less forcsts to till, and we wanted the bone andflsinew of other lands to bring them under cultivation-- He was in favor of a Homestead Law ; he thought that some such a law was much needed, but at the same time, he would endeavour to every honest man a chance of stand- ing on his feet again; but at the same time he would advocate the most stringent penalties against all those who by fraud tried to evade, payment of honest debts, as credit- ors needed protection as Well as debtors. (Hear, hear.) He was in favor of a reduction of Law Costs, Simplification ofthe proceed- ings of Court of Law, Revision of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Perry enlarged on these variOus topics, and then proceeded to state that he was in favor of the election of Reeves and Deputies, and Wardens of Counties by the people, the same as Mayors of cities and towns, for the present system of electing Reeves and Deputies was most vi- cious, and encouraged an amount of log-rolling and manoeuvring that was disgraceful, and very often the very last man that the people would select was chosen, which would be obviated were these of- fices elective by the people. He advocated holding all Parliamen- tary and Municipal Elections on one day. Any one at all conver- sant with elections, must know that all the bribery and illwill was oc- casioned by having two days for elections. Look at the Russel frauds. When did theyrplacc on the polls all the fictitious names from Jesus Christ downWards?-- Why, on the second day. (Hear, hear.) Now he said abolish that system, and a great deal was done to prevent bribery at Parliamentary elections and illwill at Municipal hands voted nay, three of whom were delegates of the Grit Con- vention; proving to a demonstra- tion that Dissolution won’t take on Yonge Street at any rate. -fâ€"‘fl Mn. PERRY AT BURWICKâ€"â€"GLURI- ous SUCCESSuâ€"T‘NII‘. Perry evidently does not intend to let the grass grow unâ€" der his feet. \Vitliiii the past ten days he has held seven large meetings in vari- ous parts of the division, all of which have been as favorable to him as could be de- sired; indeed his canvas thus far has been a great success. On Friday evening he addressed a crowded meeting in Berwick, Vaughan; so'crowded indeed was it that many could not enter at all-~Dr. Williams presided. We need not add that Mr. Perry’s speech was a master-piece of argu- ment, as all who hear him admits that on the great question of the Union he takes high and unanswerable ground. He up pools to the clear heads all well as to the hearts of his audience and his pleasing and gentlemanly bearing towards those who differ from him secures him many friends. He addressed us for an hour and a half, in- terupted only by plaudits of his audience. Dissolution of the Union, pure and simple, on the joint. authority schemes of Mr. Brown, were both shown to be not only valueless but dangerous. The other pornts of his platform were treated in a masterly manner, and at the conclusion of his speech the chairman called upon the gentlemen present to state by show of hands, whom confidence, when a forest of hands were held up in favor of Mr. Perry. The chairirian then called upon these in favor of Mr. Reeson to hold up their hands, but not an uplifted hand was scan, so that Dissolution does not " go down” at all in, they would support, or who possessed their ‘ tence to maintain his assumed position, is satisfied of his inability to continue the controversy.” ' I 'can only tell Mr. Jack- son that to continue the controversy with an unprincipled writerlike him would be ‘ only wasting time, pen, ink and paper, and would be an intrusion upon 'tlie‘puolic; and if the controversy is continued it will redound to his disgrace, as it has already done, and of which the public must be well satisfied. It would be well indeed for that verdant editor if he would re- turn to his old trade of shingle weaving on the hills of Kinghorn, where by honest indusny in thé capacity of his humble trade. for which he only seems fitted, he might attain to a certain degree of respeco tability, biit as an Editor, must fail to command respect, wanting as he does the talent and education uccussary to conduot a public journal. I must r:onc.ude by apologizing to the public for intruding upon their patience, and trust that this shall be my last letter on the controversy with Mr. Jackson, as his shufiling and truckling conduct through- tlie controversy leaves me no other course to pursue but to treat him with silent contempt: and now, Mr. Editor, I hope you will excuse, tne for again trespassing upon your good nature, by requesting you to insert the above in your journal, and oblige.

Babinet is_,said to be the inventcr‘o‘f this ingciiuous apparatus, The Markham Convention and ' the “ Colonist.” , We were much surprised to find tli'at‘th‘e Colonist-now, as it were at the eleventh hour, announces that it and its protege, Mr. Gamble, will not give their Support to Mr. Perry. It is well known that up to the time the convention selected Mr. Perry, we were staunch advocates of Mr. Gamble, but Mr. Gamble failing to"'-get the nomination, we had nothing to do, but as honorable men, to support Mr. Perry, which we are prepared heart and soul to do, and which the Conservatives will yet do in spite of the dishonor- able movements of tho Colonist; as Mr. Gamblenever ought to have ap- peared before that Convention. un- lessuhc had decided to abide b its decision. AS’th‘e Secretary 0: the Western part of the Division for the Moderate Party, we are prepared to prove that what the Colonist asserts relativeto the Convention being un- fairly Constituted, is untrue, asis ' also that part of the editorial stating’ I that sortie ' of the delegates were chosen,zeSpcci»ally in consequence of their (leclarations of confidence, in Mr. Gamble. ‘ We ,assert that in), the western. part of the division 'not a delegate waspledged, unless, indeed, they boun‘d'themSelves privately to Mr. Gamble, which is not at all likely; and the reason why no one was allOWed to take the place of the ab- sentees from; Etobicoke, was, he- - cause there 'was’ no one from Eto- biCOke but the delegates who at- tended. _Truc, one was allowed to take the place. of an absentee from Markham, but that was because at the selecting of delegates some ex- tra ones were chosen to supply the place of any who did not happen to be there ;‘ therefore to say that Mr. Perry got the nomination by afraud is as untruthful as it is dishonor- able. The Colonist also states that ,Mr. Perry’s platform is different to his speech. This, again, cannot be, as the platform but embodies the speech made at the Convention.â€" We also assert that not a word was. said about resigning the Registrar- ship,- although in our opinion it ought to be done. In conclusion,we thoroughly agree with the Colonist in stating that these observations lay it open tothechargeof playing into the hands of the Clear Grits; gcl‘ected by the people,_instead of being tnoriiinated by the Ministry of the day.â€" (Mr. Perry) was one of those who believed . that all- government should emanate from the people, and he was glad that the Legis- ‘Iative‘ Council bill passed, although he was sorry to say, that it was opposed by some of the3 Reformers of the day. It was, he said, right and proper, and. the duty of all candidates for parliamentry honors. to come forward, ard state their views plain- ly and fairly and fully to the electors when seeking their suffrages; and- that their should be no misunderstandings respecting his own views on public matters, he had placed his political sentiments in black and white. Mr. Perry commenced with the Union, the great advantages of which to both Provinces, he commented upon. He explained the great difficulties between both Provinces, before the Union act was passed, the petty political squabbles which distracted the country then, and showed the beneficial results which accrued to the whole Province since its consummation. He. described the great progress and pros- .perity which attended Upper Canada since and went through the history of the at- tempt made in. 1851, to annex the Island of Montreal to Upper Canada, and the solicitations made the Home government in order to secure to Upper Canada, the advantages of a seaport. He desired his hearers to think over the amount expended in order to secure that great object. to Upper Canada; the millions spent in im- proving that navigation of the St. Law- rence, and building of Light houses, &c., in order to give to Upper Canada the benfits of a seaport; and he asked them whether after all this expenditure, in order to secure a seapot for seven months in the year, and after adding three or four mil- lions to the public debt for building the Grand Trunk Railway, in order to give them a seaport duri .g the winter months, were they now by dissolving the Union to deprive themselves of those benefits 2’â€" (Cheers, and cries of “'No.”) When all these advantages had been obtained, and all this great good consummated, were they going to ‘go back to the old difficulties 1â€" No. And lie for one cared not by whom the clap-trap cry ofa dissolution was rais ed, no true Canadian-no lov'er of his counâ€" try, would knowingly consent to it. (Ap- plause.) But some of his opponents said in one place that they were only in favor of a deSsolution, with somejoint “ authori- ty” afterwards to arrange all matters com- mon to both Provinces, while others advo- cated a dessolution, “ Pure and simple.”â€" How, he asked, would the “joint. authori- ty” plan work? How wold that prove a remedy? In the “joint authority” con- cern, Lower Canada would have the same number of representatives as Upper Cana- da, they would be on an equal footing, and ’if with sixty~five members now, the same as Lower Canada in the Legislative to look alter their interests. and obtain equal rights, and equal justice, they could not succeed, how could they do so with the. same equality dimminislied? It was imâ€" possibleâ€"and joint authority was nothing homestead of his hundred acres, or the merchant" of his mansion.‘ All he was in favor of, was to give such protection to the unfortunate but honest debtoriias would prevent his wife and family from starving, or being driven forth to the cold and unfeeling Wurld. He would not consent to the expenditure of public monies without'consent of Parlia- ment, unless in extreme cases, and then only to a certain limited ‘amount. would, if returned, use his utmost to secure retrench- ment in every” department of the public cxpeuditurc,by which he did not meanwto‘ reduce the salaries of the man: who had a £150 a year to £100; No! the laborer, he argued, was always Worthy of his hire.â€" What he would advocate was, where there were ten men doing the work that required only five, he would send the other five about their business. (Loud cheers.)â€" This Province could not afford to keep more cats than would catch mice, -â€"(laughter) â€"therefore he would tell those who did no work, and got some one to help, gentle- men go take the axe or the plough, and do something for an honest liv- ing, as here you don’t earn salt.â€" (Loud cheers.) He was in favor of a reductiOn of the Custom House duties, and to place the duties on the luxuries, and not the necessaries of life. Those who wore broadcloth, or silks and satins, should be made to pay for them; and the tea, coffee, sugars, &c. of the working man, ought not. to be taxed. (Cheers)â€" . There was also another branch of this subject, and a very important one it Was too, and that was our home manufactures. He was in favor of giving to our manufactures, which were rising in importance, a certain degree of protection. He would let raw produce, as far as possible, come into our ports free of duty, but everything that could be manufactured in Canada he would protect, for we needed aid; our farmers needed more manufacture. He asked, was not every carriage bought at the splendid establish- ment of Mr. C. F. Hall, of Mark- ham Village, a great boon to the village and the surrounding coun- try? Then there was the splendid machine Works of the Messrs. Pat- tersons, of Richmond Hill. Who would dare to say that such an establishment was not a benefit to the Province! Their Reapers and Mowers Were celebrated through the entire Province. Was it not well, he asked, to give a helping portant affair. Many a criminal was now at large, because persons from a distance-could not afford to prosecute, and spend perhaps a .fortnight in Toronto, neglecting their private business and standing at great expense, besides, this could only be obviated by the pay- ment of criminal witnesses. Then there was the Newspaper Postage, which we need not say he would do his utmost to abolish. He thought that knowledge should be free.â€" (Hear. hear.) ln Whitby they cheat- ed the Post-office, and paid no post- age at all. [Laughter] They got their papers by express, and had them delivered free of any postage whatever; and he thought all, every one should have them free,for if a deficiency arose in the Postal Department on account of this, he thought there was nothing that the "people would grumble at, less than paying for any deficiency that might arise on account of sending papers free ; but he thought that the aboli- tion of the Frankling Privilege, of which he was thoroughly in favor, would go along way towards de- fraying the expense of the carriage of newspapers. Mr. Perry dWelt on this subject at some length. In reference to the separation of the Counties, of York and Peel from Toronto for Judicial Purposes, all he would say is, that he was as thoroughly in favor of it as their member, [Mr. \Vright] and would approve of any bill for that pur- pose, to take effect as soon as ap- prOVed of by the Ratepayers. Mr. Perry'i then concluded nan able speech of an hour and a-half. by declaring himself ready to answer any question that might be put to him relative to the principles enun- ciated, or any other question that any elector might wish to obtain intormation on. He then resumed his seat amidst much applause. The Chairman then called upon Mr. McPhillips meeting, which he did, briefly ex- plaining the grounds on which he supported Mr. Perry in preference to Mr. Reesor. Aiiros WRIGHT, Esq., M.P.P. for East York, then asked Mr. Perry his opinion on Separate Schools, as he had observed that nothing had been said respecting them. Mr, PERRY, in reply, said thathe was in favor of a national system of education, if it could be carried out, and regretted to see Separate Schools in operation; but as our Protestant brethren of Lower Ca- to address the » durrwpnrrhrrrrt. We wish it to be distinctly understood, that we do not hold ourselves responsible for opinions expressed by correspondents through our'columiis. _ - _ __.._..___.____~â€"â€" _... JACKSON GIBB E'I‘ED. To the Editor of the York Herald. SiR,â€"â€"ln the New Era. of the 13th inâ€" slant is an article headed “Absurdities Exposed.” written by Mr. Jackson with the intention of hoodwinking the public, and evidently with the determination of having the last word ; the tcne of his article showing that he has drank deeply of the cup of bitterness, so dearly earned by his insolent and libcllous assertions; but he shall yet drink more deeply of that bitter cup â€"yea to the very dreggs. The public cannot be deceived by such a man as Mr. Jackson. VViiy does he not acâ€" knowledge his error like a man, or take some tangible method of proving his false assertions to be true. He has made as- sertions time andagain again st the J.P.’s. of Aurora, that have been flatly contra- dicted by them, and yet he wants them to prove that they are untrue, when it is his place to prove his assertions, and which he cannot do; and not having the honesty of heart to acknowledge his error, he endea- vors to show to the public, by his artful dodging, that lie is bunkutn, and Will die game; btrt it will not do. Truth is stronger than fiction, and I fear that he has found me too strong for him. Al- though he terms me poor, weak and imbe- cile, I would indeed be weak, if not able to measure strength mentally or physically with the great Editor of the Em; and I can tell Mr. Jackson that the further he goes, in his absurd and unjust expositions, the more he exposes his ignorance,and the more injury he does to himself. I Would advise him to hold up in time,or he will be swamped in his own quagmire of disaffec- tion and untrutli. It was not my intention to intrude upon the public by answering the article alluded to, had Mr. Jackson remained quiet. after he had the last word allowed to him, which was not his due; but not being con- tent with my having given him more than fairplay, he again comes out in his last isâ€" sue wrth an unparalleled budget of false- hoods to cram down the public in an article on the 20th inst., headed “ A Busybody Snubhed,” being too dishonest candidly to acknowledge having made as- sertions that he cannot substantiateâ€"he coudescends to the baseness of framing falsehoods to deceive the public.

Some body must have been lioaxing the Globe about the Scarboro’ meeting.â€" That voracious paper states that Mr. Perry was “defeated by an overwhelming majoriâ€" t ” on the vote taken! That “only seven yr - .. . votes for Mr. Perry could be mustered!” Is this another Reesor Dodge? The Globe should have better assurances" of credi- bility for its published statements. We happened to be present at the Scarboro’ meeting, and we can assure the Globe, that its information is altogether iscorrect, as will be seen from our own report.
