SUPPLE MENT T0 (fit): but. thrift. M~,_._._ ~._. RICHMOND HILL. AUG. 17. l860' The Charge against Mr. Reesor Year- His Defence. 'We hope all our readsrs will at- tentively peruse our report of the proceedings of the Markham Coun- cil, on Saturday last, the 11th inst., as a resolution involving serious con- sequences to the Reeve (D. i’vecsor, Esq ) was submitted by R. llIn'sh, Esq" and J. Bowman, Esq. It seems that there is a Statute in full force, the object ofwllich is to prevent any rfficer of any Illanici- pality. in their private capacity. from re- ceiving any pecuniary benefit whatever from the public fund, save and except their salaries. This law it i. alleged, D. Reesor has persistently broken, and as a natural sequence has forfeited lltsl seat. The obiect of the law is evidently good. it is to prevent any one aspiring to the office on account of its money value, and thus protect the rate payer from being de- frauded by any jobbiug on the part of their servants. That the law is a wise one no one in his senses w.ll dispute; and that any one areaking the law ought to suffer \Vc are aware, however, that the Council of its penalties, no sane man will deny. itsrlf has no jurisdiction on the subject, though all should agree that its member had not broken the law, it would not screen the accused, and tiliigh all should pronounce him guilty, the lnclnbgr would it isa question to be decided by a suit in not be compelled to resign his seat. -‘ Council with its mlilbers in their pri- “ vatc canarity.” Tint object, ill i858 and 18-59, D. Reesor clearly defeated by accepting contracts, and privately reap the benefit accruing therefrom. Leaving that, we come to the printing done by D. lieesor during the present The defence set Up is that his ser- vant, J. Mansfield, bad no autliO'ity to cootract, and that lie did it in his (lions- ficld’s) own authority. Now, we submit that nothing can be more fallacious than such quibbling as this. it may do for a special pll‘atler but is utterly uawortby of . one who is set-king legislative horrors.“â€" The work was revised by himself, and done Mr. REESOR hoped that the mat- ter would be consideicd calmly, as it. Was a serious charge to bring against any man ; and he believed that he had not forfeited his seat oy any act whatever Mr. MAitSHâ€"-â€"'l‘be resolution will be discussed deliberately if Mr. Reesor refrains from indulging personalities, but if not, he should repel all allusions as to ills, [Marsh's] motives, as he was not afraid to lflt‘t‘l his constituents on any vote he had gi‘wn, or resoluâ€" tion be had brought before the Council. Mr. REESth was quite willing to accept Mr. Marsh's statement, that at his own officeâ€"4). licesor knowing full “0 “"Pml)“r “mil”: acmalCd him well that bad ours been the loll-est tender, he would not have had tllcjob; as the re solution to receive tenders was passed ill l l l in bringing forward his resolution, although at first be had thought different. The Council then adjourned for the Council, whilst D. i’tcesor was ill the one hour 31 noon, chair as liceve; and now to deny author- ising J. Mansfield to lender is all moon- shine. The fact remains broad as day that D. Reesor knew that his servant would tender; he knew that that tender was the lowest, and finally the work was done at his own oflice with his own knew. ledge and with his full consent. are the plain unvarnislled statements of the Let D. iiccsor confine himself in his remarks to plain case without colouring facts, and we hesitate not to say that the public verdict will be that his position as held. and the aspiring Legislator ought to have known better than to have, for his th11 private advantage, broken a just law, ewâ€"oâ€"“b -4 l l l . . . .

Minutes of last meeting read and approved. Mr. BOWMAN presented a peti- tion from the Trustees of School consideration than that if the charges Section N0 1, py-ayinryylw Council - . _ . brought against D.

Such is not the case,“ the Coon. cilmen can bear witness; for we never years 1858 and 1859, was thumby saw the resolution till it was submitted to the Council, neither iiad we any idea whatever of its contentsâ€"-true, we had heard different persons, outside the Council, state that D. i’teesor ind no right what- ever to enter into any contract or do any printing for the Council. \Ve have also been request long since to take action on the question, but we invariably reFuscd. because We thought it would not do for us to agitate it; besides, as a business rival we would just as soon compete with the Economist as with any other office...â€" This much for ourselves, now for the real question at issue. Did D. Reesor do the printing in the years referred to, and does he by those. act's vacate his seat? That the printing referred to in the resolution was done at the Economist office cannot for one mo- merit be denied, for more printing was done than is actually there named, for iti- stance the by-law regulating taverns was printed a few months since, a tender was also rendered to the Clerk for the schedule of instructions to path markers, but as we “’0: refer to these to show that it was quite usual with D. Reesor or tender for work ; indeed, we re- member that in last December, D. Reesor himself rendeer a tender to were lowest we got the job. his servant to the Council for printing the by-laws for holding the Municipal Elections in 1860. Still further, both D. Recsor and W. Trudgeon verbally contracted with the Council in 1858, for advertising the town- ship accounts. These jobs are not men- tioned in R. Marsh’s resolution, but they the habit of contracting for Township Printino', notwithstanding the not expressly states “that no person having by hilnseli “ or his partners an interest in any con- “ tract with or on behalf of the Corpora- “ tion, shall be qualified to be a member “ of the Council.” And be, on his oath, ‘ partner an interest in any contracts with “or behalf of the Corporation ;” but in answer to these ugly facts, D. Reesor avers that as all the printing for the town- ship was done before 1860. it could not interfere with his election (although the money was nor paid till February last) because it was virtually paid in last De- cember, by order of the .Council, and the only reason it was not so paid, was no funds; but the foot-note explaining the aim of the Act, says “ the aim is to pre- “vsnt all dealings on the part of the l l pcuses.

This :Was the sum and substance of his gspeccb; and for a certificate of fcbaracter he brought his brother-in- ‘law from Toronto to swear that lwltat he (Reesor) said of himself ‘was truo. True, he said, that the iGrits had not abandoned Reprt sen- tation by Population; but Mr. lMcDougnli contradicted that by istating that they had abandoned it lbecause it was impossible to carry lit. As to Mr. McDougall’s ad- ldress, the less said about it the lbctter, as it had only one object, land that was, to prevent Mr Perry lfrom replying; and the gross un- igcntlcmanly reference to the (le- iceascd Mr. Perry, [verv different, lby-tlleâ€"bye, lo the report in the Globe] was properly hissed, but be .stiffcred much on that score from Mr. chrry so no Spare him any fur- ,lllt‘l‘; for never was man so severely, laud yet justly punished as the Millie’s sub on this: subject. But, in connection with the report of the speeches of Messrs. ltocsor and McDougall, we were much struck to find that the main topic, (except the abuse of Mr. Perry) of these speeches, the abuse of the Catho- lics and Lower Canadians is en- tirely ignored in the Globe. Did not Mr. Recso‘ and his brother-in- law call the Lower Canadians over and over again, “ robbers, barbari- ans, and priest-ridden fools .7” Did not Mr. McDouguil, in particular, call them “ the conquered race, the inferior people, those and Popzs/i ridden people." Yea! he did. All these epithets took up a large portion of the Speeches rc- ferred to. But how silent tlic :Globe is on all ll) 5, [as was the».

And then fire this silenCe on the matter. written by a man to whom truth is. a complete stranger. l in the first place it states that the meeting was packed by Mr. Perry’s friends, most of them being “ Orangcmcn and foreign Mercen- aries, and that it was not until Mr. Reesor was in the village tbatl the Electors resolved to attend."â€" The real facts are that it was well ‘ known by all from the very first, that Mr. Reesor intended to be present; and not only so, but Dr. Friel, (who is a strong Orangemau) used his utmost influence to have the meeting well packed with Mr. Reesor's friends, as they illustered ! strong from evvry quarter, but of, foreign illercenuries there were! none iil'lporled, only by Mr. Ree-l stir, and be. imported Mr. \V. McDougall, his own brother-indaw, right from Toronto, to trickle Mr. Perry, as be (Recsor) felt, himself unequal to the conflict. The Globe, however, says quite truly that “several electors returned home quite disgusted with the . o 1 foreign Mercenaries.” But tllosc‘ foreign Mercenaries were none other than the. member for North Oxford and North Ontario, the for-1 tncr talking against time irrelevant nonsense in conjunction with Mr. lleesor, for three. mortal hours, hav- ing only one object in view, as was self-evident, and that. was to pre- vent Mr. Perry from replyingmnd so ; effectually did they succcd that it was half past 11 before Mr. Perry: could gain the floor.

Globe colu- plains‘tbat Mr. Perry commenced a general onslaught of Mr. M r:- Dougall and Mr. itccsm. True the onslaught n as most damaging to them, but the personal abuse was confined to showing up Mr. Mc- Dougall’s relations to his [Perry’s] father, in answer to the mean, cowardly insult of Mr McDOtlgall ; the rest of his speech was an able exposure of tlic dishonesty of the Grits in general, and M r.

What unbiashing effrontcry, and what a dirty trick is here attempted... Whose fault was it, pray, that Mr. Perry’s speech lasted till midnight? Why it was the very writer’s of the article, who though on rising proâ€" mising to be short, yet spun his rc- hash of his own editorials out. so long. that it was within half an hour of midnight ore Mr. Perry could gain the. floor. in conclusion, we would ask Mr. itcesor seriously whether this is the way he is going to canvass King’s- Division? If so, be can only sucâ€" ceed on the supposition that all his political friends are fools. and that knavery, will be swallowed by them. For ourselves, We only hope that Mr. McDougali will meet Mr. Perry at every meeting. and write. just such untrutbful reports, as it will 0an the eyes of those who a7.- tend the meetings, to the disgrace- principled “ Muncbauscns” as the Sub-Editor of the Globe, the foreign mercenary of David liccsor. ~â€"â€"-â€"~â€"â€"â€"~â€"â€"+-.â€"~â€"~â€"â€"~wâ€"-- The Quebec Chromelc of Friday says: Square tragedy.
