In our issue oflast weeli'» we publish- ed the proceedings of. the meeting of electors of East York, held at Milliken‘s Corners on Saturday, the 23rd of March ; at this meeting, after considera- le discussion, it was agreed to nomi- nate Reform candidates for the House of Commons and Local Legislature; as our readers are already aware, the choice fell on Mr. Amos W'right, by an overwhelming majority over Mr. Brown, for the former position ; the candidature for the Local Legislature being more closely contested between the friends oer. H P. Crosby and Mr. James Metcalt‘e, it became necessary to ad journ the meeting until the following Saturdayin order to Settle the question whether Mr. Crosby or Mr. Metealt‘e l would be the most likely candidate tol carry the election for the Ontario Le- gislature; with this understanding the electors separated, and Mr. Wright Was announccl by his party as the reform canadida‘te for the House of' Commons; the consequence was that his Friends did not think it necessary to attend the adjourned meeting, on ac- count ofthe bad state of the roads. The supporters of Messrs. Crosby and Metcalf‘e seeing that as each of their friends had rallied, and the contest between them for the candidature for the Local Legislature was likely to be a close one,and seeing that many of Mr. W'right’s immediate friends were absent, shrewdly set to work and deter- mined upon an arrangement that was calculated to secure to both Mr. Crosby and Mr Metcalt‘e the object of their ambition, by reopening the proceedings decided upon at the meeting :on the previous Saturday; the result has gone to show that a compromise was made by u _ ALHJ~ ep31e-e...

It is the most base not of cruelty we ever heard ,of', and the (men that were the perpetrators are not safe to entrust with~ the care of (we were going to say a henâ€"roost,)â€"â€"the important interests of East York.

Wright's past connection with the representation of the East Riding of York, which extends back for the peat sixteen years, when some of the aspirants had scarcely donned jacket and trousers; â€"â€"in the fall of 1851. a meeting of the Reformers ot‘ Markham was held at Uninnville, for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend the Reform convenâ€" tion, about to be held for the “ Third Riding: of York," which then included the county of Ontario; at that meeting the deity; {es chosen were Amos \Vrig'ht, ‘N.

After lying in the office here it short time, the person to, whom it was addressed called, told the agent thwt he did not desire to take the money out yet; but wished to have it remain in the oflice for safe-keeping.- “However,” said he, “I am just goinu‘ to Montreal, lam a little short. of cash, let me have $12. and you can deduct the amount out of the contents of the parcel when] return.” The ,ngent said he did not think that was a businesslike \Vayâ€"-tlmt he might take that amount out of the contents of the parcel, and leave the rest for-safekeeping, if he so desired. j“0hl no I'7 replied J.

The agent told him that he had sent the valuable depostt to the Head office. inas- much as he did not like the responsible custody of so large a sum, that he would telegraph for it at. once. and to call next day when it whuld be forthcoming on pay ment of charges.

Anather Convention in East ‘ York- We learn that a mass meeting of the! liberal conservative electors of East York is called for Wednesday next, the 10th inst., at 12 o’clock noon, at Milli- ken's Corners, Markham, for the pur- pose of nominating candidates for the House of Commons and Local Legisla- lture. If the electors do but exercise good judgment in the selection of their canadidates at this meeting, we have reason to believe Ihat popular men will be chosen; but they must be persons‘ who command the arespept and confi-l dence of the intelligent electors of the Riding. We have heard that Mr. Barker is spoken of for the House of Commons, and Mr. ‘John Bowman, for the Local Legislature; if these men should be selected we are inclined to think they will stand a good chance of success. ’ There are no party issues before the electors, it is simply a choice of men ; and such being the case, it is of the ut- most importance that active intelligent men, identified with the interest of the Riding, should be returned, with a view '0 pramoting the agricultural and manu- factuling interest ofthe country. We hope the electors will be cautious in pro- mising their votes, and wait to hear what the views of candidates are; the hollow and unmcaning sound of “ Re- former,” and “ Tory," is simply bosh, used by crafty partisans to catch the unwary. We hope the bulk of the el- ectors will be on their guard, and not permit themselves to be caught by such 3 ehafi‘. giving of‘material hclpf' They feel that something1r must be done to raise the mind of the pauper from its degradation.

Sm :â€"-When the Commissioners 'shall proceed on their journey to the State of New York, for their own improvement and pleasure. if not for any advantage to the country,instcad of confining their en- quiries to officials, to servants, and to paupers within the walls of poor-houses, whose testimony may be partial, limited and one-sided. it might be advanta- geous to the county if they extended the field oftheir investigations and researches, and ascertain the general sentiments of intelligent, sensible, candid, upright and noble-minded gentlemen and ladies - citizens of the United States, in reference to poor laws, and in reference to their na- tive influence upon the poor themselves, as well as in reference to their native inâ€" fluence upon thatgreat country. By ex- tendingr the field of their investigation they would assuredly obtain knowledge of great value and importance, that would be well worthy of a place in their report. They would meet with one fact after another that would possibly startle, perplex and ' confound even them, and compel them to confess that “facts are “stubborn chields that winna ding,” and compel them also to confess that the question of Poor Laws is not Without its great difficulties, and that it might be wisdom to pause, hesitate and ponder well before they proceed to the erection of poor houses. They would meet with facts that would compel them to confess that in erecting poor houses for the townships of our country, they are com- pelling the in} abitants to “jump out of "the fryinc: pan into the fire.” The re- sult of their investigations might be a settled conviction, in the minds of many, that Poor Laws, instead of giving life, vigor and growth» I to the finer emotions of human nature, produce a moral blight and desolation, and that, instead of being a great good, they are a great evil. We are sorry to say the science is so little understood, and still less appre- ciated, but we believe there is a. good time coming when the chains of pre- judice which now retard the progress of light and truth. will have to Snap before the pressure of modern civilization, and Phrenology then unfettered will take its place in the march of intellectual pro- gress.
