Estp, and many inlluentnrl gentle- men l.om Markham and Whitby, friends of the respective candidates.

The other subjects of Ins platform he also very clearly and satislactorily discount-d, and concluded an address of nearly two hours ditration amid loud applatise. l‘lre chairman then invited any person present to address the meeting, or to put any questiorrs to the gentleman who had just sat dowu. No one doing,Ir so, the chairman invrtetl David l’teesor,15sq., to address the meeting, which he (lid in a speech of nearly the. same duration as that of Mr. Perry’s. Mr. Beesor enunciated his victvs, iii connection with the Dissolu- tion of the Union, as is believed for the first time publicly. He advocated at least the exrstence of two provinces, with their i separate Governments, and a third or fe- derirl Government, or joint authority Go- vernment, u der a constitutier to be. in the first. place submitted [.0 the people for their approbation. antl ifpnot approved of by them, to be amended again and again, each time submitted to the peOpIe until sanctioned by them and then become law. Mr. l’leesor also briefly adverted to two or three matters, which he considered Uppet C.‘anada grievances, namelyâ€"«the abolition of the Seignorial Tenure (the cetisit‘aries being ielietred throu-fli provincial aid)~~ the building of the Lower Canada Lima- tic Asylum from the same. fund. while the Upper (‘anada Asylum was built by a di- rect tax levied on that portion of the Pro. i'inceâ€"â€"and the rebellion losses money be- ing settled in each section of the province under similar circurnstaiwes. namely. Up- per Canada paying her owrr los'ses,‘and Lower Canada being paid out of the Pro- vincial Chest, This gentleman, at the conclusion of his address, was loudly cheer- ed by his friends. \V. H. Higgins. Esq., of Whitby, then asked Mr. Reesnr two questions in connection with these subjects, which elicited that Mr. Beesor had not given to the meeting a fair representation of these two subjects. Mr. Perry again addressed the meeting, I pointing out. in vivid and forcrble language C) You ad- ‘ Then several of your friends came from the rear of Imila’r llidllllet‘ he conclusively tileptmt-Ptl of Mr. lie-tisor’s pretended injustice to Up- iper Canada on every question.

Esq, J.l.’., and seconded by Major becor expressing confidence in Mr. Perry, and pledging the :mcetitig tt support him at the ensuing election. which was carried hr 3 consider- iable majority, although Mr. 1’. eesor’s ftiends had made a point of gathering in strength. The meeting as a whole was very satis- tfaclory; each of the candidates received from the meeting the most respectful at- tention. and lb:- apparent good feeling heâ€" tWecn them, and the. gentlemanly ct‘urlesy which each extended to the other, Were worthy of all praise. it is to he hoped that the contest Will be continued and car ried out in the same excellent spirit.â€"â€"-â€" Whilst no true Canadian patriot, or any one desiring connection with Great Bri- tain can support Mr. Reesor, or any other jman seeking to place Upper Canada in such an isolated position as the Repeal of the Union neCessarily would, and which could only eventuate in the course of a very few years in throwing Canada West into the arms ofthe United States, still harsh words and bad feeling towards M r. [teesor personally, will rather tend to weaken the good cause that every reflect- ing man now has at heart, than that gentleman’s canvass. Yours, 6tc , SCAR BOROUGH. Scarboro’, August 2, 1860.

Perry’s course reSpecttog the approaching contest in King‘s Division for Legislative lbonors.‘ I most emphatically state 'that bad Mr. Jno. \rV. Gamble been soli cited by the Liberal Conservative. Con vention as their nominee, 1 should have !given him my vote and support. As the lmatler now stands, that party has no al- ilel‘llilllt‘t; it must give all its influence in favor of Mr. Perry. Had M r. IGHIDDEB come out. at first, independently. .withont asking; aid or patronage front lany body of pOllllC?l partisans. but. solely {on his own responstbrlity, 1‘ should must Eunequivocally have given him my sup port. Had he, as l have intimated above. ,boldly avowed, either personally or by sproxy. at the meetingr of delegates, his intention of contesting the election as a purely independent candidate, irrespec- .live of party prejudice, personal or poli- ‘ltical friendship or feeling, the whole af- plair would assume quite a different aspect. ‘But, on the contrary, without recording . this protest. he has waited until the last . lt‘nomentâ€"until Mr. Perry has canvassed lthe whole Divisionâ€"until his own sup“ iporters almost to a mart have. pron-used their votes to his opponentâ€"â€"â€"and their throrialr an ultraiconservative journal. the Colonist, at last comes the protest. I‘The truth is, this course is perfectly sni- l-cidal. Should Mr. Gamble. sliil persist fin contesting this election, the result is obvious; he will not be able to carry the ‘Woburn meeting, as it appears in the ,Pdrsf‘cmed generally l'ecell’ea ,mmhm. comma. . and would therefore represent your .day himself, nor wrll Mr. Perry succeed the erroneous representations Mr. 'Reesor , , 7 , tinIbeing electeo. had made, especially in blaming the pre- ».:».: ~ --.v .. ,. 3‘, What Iwould mos-t respectfully gest to the parties is, to settle their differences, and at once, as in reality the Moderate Conservatives are beginning to get dngusted with the whole pibc‘éedingi One or other must withdraw,and that: without delay. As it is, the course Mr. Gamble Seems bent‘bn pursuing can'haive the rlfect only of dividing the forces, and conSequeul-ly giving Mr. Beesor an any Victory. ’ ' Yours, very truly, AN ELEC ion, Vaughan, August 1, 1860. i .. .._- MR. PERRY AND THE A COL- ONlb‘Tl‘. Fron the Leader Correspondence of the 29th tt'1t' Simâ€"As b'ecretary for the" Western half of King Division, I hope you'lwiill allow me a small Space in your journal to correct the gross inaccuracies of the Colonist relative to the Convention of the .‘iloilcrate party held at Markham village on the 30th ult. 1 need not saythat‘i, in company with Mr. Gamble’s stauncb‘est supporters, was much pained at reading the article alluded to, as.from Mral’erity’s- ~iiccessful canvas, we entertained no.doubt or his streeess. The first error of the Colonist is‘in stating that " the Convention 'wasinot fair- ty constituted, and? that several of the Delegates were chosen solely in come. quorum of their confidence in M r. Gamble.’ . i his is not true; for, although previous to the Convention a thorough supporter of Mr. Gambl, I deny that any delegate was chosen pledged to support either IMI'. Gamble or Mr. Perry. .ln this assertion 1 am supported by Rev. Mr. Norrisrof . bcarboro,’ who stated publicly, that ale though the delegates from Scarboro’ be- lieved Mr. Gamble to be the best man, yet not a word was said relative to whom they would support, and Mr. \Vard, of Eto‘bio- coke, distinctly stated that be and his brotbtr delegates came there unpledgcd. and that it Mr. Perry obtained the nomi- nation, he would work as hard for him as Mr Mr. Gamble. And as I personally attended the neelings in Markham and- V'auphan, Ican truthfully assert tlrat‘vno pledge was exacted from the delegates in those. Towusnips, and ill Pickering Mr. Chapman Slitied a, the Convention thathe, had come to the Convention with a dc- rcrrninution to support Mr. Gamble; but that alter beefing the speeches of Mr. Gurnble and Mr. l’crry, be bad altered his mind and Voted for Mr. Perry. Con» elusive L‘VltllnCC this that the Pickering Convention was not pledged to support- r»itlrer ol the delegates; and and in East Whitby two of the delegates supported. .‘dr. Gamble. Strong evidence this that Wh tby was not packed. llelalit‘c to the delegates from Ushawa, Iwill Only say that they numbered but three, and the only lll't‘Alllill'lfy was that. the committee to cllt‘S ' delegates“ did not'mcct till after the. ' true appuirrled which frct was not named. at} the met-ting. And If Mr. Gamble or his lrien 1‘ we e aWare of it, they should have. ~ aled it at the time; it is dishonorable to' do it now. ' But the Colonist complains that no sub- stilltles were allowed in place oftlrclabsen- res from Etobicoke. The reason why, that there. was no one present from tutobicoke' to fill their places. It was indeed propoSed” to fill their places by gentlemen: from :‘ Vaughan but this was not allowed, and; justly. but I assert without fear of can» trntlirtion that had any been present from rutobicoke they Would hare been allowed. to act as Delepales. Another groundof ‘ complaint. by the Colonist is " that a vacancy which occurred In the Markham delegation was actually filled up after the Convention met. or on the day on which it" assembled} But the Colonist is ignorant of or wilfully ignores the. fact that when the Delegates Were. selected at Unionville, .\lt‘. b‘utlon, as Chairman, was authorised ’ to fill tip any vacancy that might occur from any of the Delegates being absrnt,-. which fact was thin named at the Con-w rention; and if the meeting at Etobicokcw had taken the same steps no difficulty . whatever would have arisen, so that the excuse given by the Colonist, on the :3 ground of unfair nomination, is disin- genuous it: the extieitre. .. _ The next ground taken by the Colonist is, however. more untenable slilll (if that is , possiblr) and this is that Mr..l’crry has advornled ditfeient principles since the nomination to what he had previously. .xow 1 state positively that Mr. Perry’s ‘ address is bitt an embodiment of his speech" before the Convention, which was re: - ported in 'l'he Leader, therefore no Dele-‘. gate can say that he has been sold; there is not a measure advocated in hlr. Perry’s: address but what was advocated in his speech before the COnvention; therefore, 1 say that the execses offered by the, Colonist lor its detection from the Cour rention are absurd in the extreme. In conclusion, Mr Editor, 1 would just add that as far as I am aware, no undue iu- . fluenCe was used to pack the Convention; besides, Mr. Gamble was present at'tbé” Convention, and il be had any complaints , to make he should have made tbem there,“ but the fact is that so far as the ConvenQ tion is concerned there is no ground whttv ever for the Colom'st's remarks. as I can” speak positively with regard to the western hall'ol King. Division, and say that 4Zth « Delegates Were chosen as fairly as. possible and no pledge whatt-svet was exacted of" drum, and if some few Delegates wrote to ..\'.lr. Gamble, assuring him oftbe nomi-l nation and then voted against him I the Convention stirer should. not be held rev . sponsible for that. Indeed I am surprised . that the Colonist and Mr. Gamble’sliould be so foolish as to pursue the suicidal: course they have taken. I think it very tllsllOII’Jl'able, for assuredly no Convention: would have been held at. all had we been aware that those who last the nomination - would have taken so dishonorable-a course'- I remain yours, most respectfully, H.
