BIClIMUN D l-IlLIi. MAY ‘22, 18 ...__ THE NEW MINISTRY. Aw honest 'man secures the confi- dence and good-will of good and bad alike, while a knave fails to obtain the respect even of his bro- ther knave. What an apt, illustra- tion of this truth is afforded in the career of the late Macdonald- Sicotte Administration! Unim. portant as have been the changes it has effected, or the measures it has carried through, it will mark an era in the political history oftlrc Province- It will be constantly cited to show the ease with which some men disembarasss themselves of their principles when these pre- sent any obstacle to their obtaining office. It will serve to convince many that Opinions formed in oppo- sition for the par'pose of damaging a government in the eyes of the public, do not afford the safest passport to office, and may ocea- sionally be exceedingly inconve- Every intelligent elector Of this constituency should. now take oc- Casion to ask himself the following questions: What has Amos Wright ever done to merit the confidence of the people whom he has repre- sented? Has his course as a pub~ lic man been marked by any fea- ture calculated to gain our adrni ration and secure'our respect, or the contrary? Has he been the guar- dian of the interests .‘if the people, or the betrayer of them? Has he {lien-r endeavored to promote economy Mr. Wallbridgetolledtheknellol and good government, or has he the late Ministry when he an- lent his aid to inaugurate those ruinous enterprises and the mis- chievous schemes which have burâ€" dened the Country with such a load of debt?

Iii 1657, Markham gave Mr. Wright 235 of a majority, while in 1861 it gave him only 78. In 1857, Scarboro~ gave him a ma- jority of 39, white in 1861 it. left him in a minority of 79. This plainly shows his growing unpopu- larity and we cannot but think that the Riding might be more worthily represented. The time has now come when a change seems to be imperativer demanded, and we trust a gentleman will be elected who will reflect. more credit upon the Constituency. ‘ ->.< How Canadians are Humbugged IN our issue of the 8th inst., we intimated to our numerous readers that “a course of systematic deception is at present at work at Richmond Hill,” an assertion in which we were corroborated by authentic infOrmation, which we received from Afâ€" ton, Cheuango Co.

It was our impression that the EleCtors could not have been convened more oppOi'tunely; that they would exnress their opine ions freely, candidly, but firmly; that they would do their duty, as the country expected them ; review the conduct of their member and if he is to be blamed,censure him-â€" if praised, laud him. Nothing is more important than to get the Opin- ion Of the country, for the times are very critical; and it behoves every man if he is at all anxious to per- form those obligations, which as a member of society, he is involun- tarin invested with, to utter his himself, and reason without preju- judice. I Now, in our brief report it will be seen whether the gentlemen pre- sent acquitted themselves accord- ing to the above idea of‘tlreir duties; and it must be borne in mind that atthis season of the year, time is money to the farmer, and that most (of our Electors are farmers; there I were upwards of a hundred present {and what with preparation, time, and travel, and at the Hall, we may reckon aâ€"halfday at least to each, making a total of fifty days, or a month and three weeks labour lost to the country. Seeing, then, that an assembly at this season is such a costly thing its results ought to be in proportion ; and now here is the statement of what took place, and our readers can judge for them- selves. About quarter-past 2. p.m.,1’. J. Arnold, Esq, by the unanimous consent of the meeting, took the chair; G. J. F. Pearce, Esq, was elected Secretary. In afew words Mr. Arnold Opened in course and called upon the gentlemen whose names were attached to the list of requisition to proceed. There was ‘Silence deep as death for a time’; again and again he called, but only ‘ Echo to his call return made.’â€"â€" Thinking that now was his oppor tunity, Mr. Howland, brother of the M.P , rose and moved that ‘ He considered that as we were on. the eve of an election and must conse- quently be soon brought face to lace with our member and then we could hear from his own lips the true bearings of the case, that this meeting be adjourned ; this was instantly seconded and eazried by a minority of the meeting; but as there was no amendment of course it was all that was wanted and ne- cessary to quash opinion, and thus the whole ended in ‘ Smokc.’ -â€"â€"+o+â€"â€" Vaughan Council.

The British American,- A MONTHLY MAGAZINE ‘DEVOTED 'ro ‘Lt'rnn'rUE, SCIENCE AND ART. NO. 1 FOR MAY, 1863. TORONTO : Rollo 8: Adam. .6“ IF- you want to see the progress of a country look to its literature : that is the best means, and the tru- est criterion by which you can judge of the' civilization of any community. Everything written in the English language must be guided in style and composition by British literature, as that is the fountain-head, andr-llikethe history of that great country. shows as much improvement and alteration as is noticeable in the various fluc- tuations in the rise Of the British Empire. Indeed one might well nigh say that a cyclopeedia of the literature is a history of the king- dom, so peculiarly are they inter- mingled. VVe have been led into these re- flections by the appearance of the British Americanâ€"an enterprise of which we cannot speak too highly, or express ourselves too warme in wishing it a ‘ great suc- cess.’ Every true Canadian ought to support it, for. properly yielded, it may some day become one of the most potent organs for the propa- gation of general but useful know- ledge in Canada. We want a ma gazine of this nature to awaken the mind. from its sluggishness, and with renewed zeal push forward, that Canada may be henceforth, if possible, in the van of civilization: that, individually, the ‘ man’ may be induced to think for himself in- stead of acquiring his opinions sec- ond-hand from a quarter too versa- tile with slang, and too far'vitiated in their tastes to lead a vilst society, increasing daily,ofBritish training, and with cultivated British accom- plishments. As this is the first number,it may claim to be exempted from the pen of the critic . so with a few remarks we will let it pass. This much we may just hint to the enterprising," publishers, that since they have to cope with English periodicals, they will require to be very judicious, and make, mayhaps, some consi- derable sacrifices to get their monthly into a payable circulation. There are fourteen different ar- ticles, and 112 pages.
