into the. habit of taking a good deal of it on trust The motive tor this notion among the Grit, Press is not far to seek; granted that. Mr. Blane is so superim- to his kind in this rcspeet, and the Grit Party which sadly needs the assistanee. gathers it reflected light from the con- nect-inn. When however, we come to examine critically, his right to such a reputation, we find that it rests upon a very insecure foundation, it‘ indeed the theory of a foundation does not Vanish altogether. The first reliable informaâ€" tion we have as to his being; endowed with exceptional public and private virtue, came from Mr. Blake himself. in his earlier utterances he was especi ally careful to place himself on a very elevated moral pedestal, far removed from and above all human weakness, gazing dorm on his inferior fellow creatures, as if item an unattainable height. Many of his material efiorts dur- ing this phase ofhis exrstance,heing masr ter pieces ofsarcastie irony,in denouncing the vices and inconsistencies of others; and it is, when we think it out, rather astonishing that men should have been so befooled by a man, who was after all. only blowing his own trumpet, and that after a very self-righteous and boastful sort. No matter, the Globe and the rest of the Grit Press readily received the cue, and seeing: the profit there was in it, took Mr. Blairl at his own price, and gave him a marketable value, at this quotation, in the political mart: and not the Grit Press and I arty alone, ’or to a great extent, the more creoulous of the Conservatives were willing, to be. lievc that. here was a man, vrho altho’ (spewing the opposite side in polities. “as not only Intirely ireorrnptible. but of I'metiorral and marvellous politi- cal virtue, Completely impregnath to the trrnptaliOrrs besottiug men of or" dinary calibre. There impressions were drawn and gathered from the large promise contained in. and put t'orvard in his own words. Wren we come to his performance, on r eyes are ope»- ed with a vengeance. His career has not been a long one, but long enough to dispel these illusions at once and forever. He stands to (lay, perhaps the most marked failure. and not the most honest politician in Canada. Not a pledge of ht~ tohtieal youth has leerr fulfilled, not a profession lived up to, not a theory carried into effect; while, in seeking to accomplish his own ends. he has proved himself to he the reverse of scrupulous. The first marked illustration we have of the lengths he is prepared to go in the furth- erance of his purpose was afforded by his intrigue with l“. B. Wood, in the Local House; when he induced the latter to betray his colleagues, and bring about their fall by his treachery. His manipu- lation of Sir. Viood on this oceasiim. going to the length of writing hiw. a Lute indicating the critical n oment when he should give voice to his treason ’l'he after result, and formation of the Local Cabinet showed further, that he had at the satire time been in treaty with tho Speaker of the House also, with the purpose of inducing lirn to desert his Party, and form a coalition With the G2 *ts. Altogether, the whole thing was most discreditable, and unmistak. ably demonstrated the ruthless and. un. scrupulous disposition ot‘the man. But itrs with Mr. Blake's career in the Commons we wanted chiefly to deal, in «his article, Its-illustrating the inconsis: BLAKE’S PROFESSIUNS AND PRACTICES. It has so long been the fashion of the Grit Press, from the. Globe down to Grip, to extol the virtues, and exalt the character of Mr. Blake; as if indeed. this gentleman po>sessed these desirable attributes in an extraordinary degree, that the public, naturally enough, l'ell into the habit of taking a good deal of H :1n_\‘nnnwsare onuflefl plemw nl< by pus: mm}, Subscription $1, in advance; fina‘tscSlzfio. u.m., to 800, p.111.

EFF-5V1“ I’TIUNH REVEIVED NE W ADVERTISEMENTS. â€"-not to say the innate dishonesty of his activn One of the strongest points he had made while in opposition. was in denouncing the criminality of coalitions. Not as it: since. appears, because he had any personal objection to such combina- tions. but because they afforded him in useful material for striking essays on abstract political morality. He seemed as much moved when discanting on this topic. as when vindicating his father's memory from imaginary reproach. For no sooner did the occasion Serve for advancing his own interests in so doing, than he proved himself not. only willing, lut anxious to coalesce ; not with Scott and (Cartwright alone, but with others far more. obnoxious than they. His theory beingy that it was an unpardon- able sin in Sandfield. Macdonald, and M. C. Cameron to coalesce his practice bring to form a coalition with Cauchon himself, the two former being as honest politicians as ever lived ; we can scarcely say as much for the two latter. The man who deliberately placed himsclt' in these two antagonistic positions, can hardly be termed honest. Not a little of Mr. Blake‘s power in declantatory in Vrctivc was displayed in hts condemna- tion of any one who would consent to hold a sinecurc position in the Cabinet, and yet. draw the salary, which was then five thousand dollars a year. This also proved to he a piece of cheaply as- sumed patriotism and virtue, put on to attract the favorable notice of the people; for he at this moment holds the sinecutc office of President. of the Council, and draws the pay therefor, with this dili- erenee only, that it is seven thousand dollarsayear instead of five. Not so much of a hero and a patriot then, as a very ordinary and mercenary mortal. where pelt' is concerned. He was never weary of' giving the people- to under- stand that he was a man of such high toned and chivalrous honor, that it' his own words were to be relied on, he could not even distantly associate with aught, save men of the highest character. Yet in his actual practical life we find his most intimate association is with Ilun- tington and Laflummc, both men of most unenriablc reputations, while we are not aware that he has ever yet thought {it to roprove his over zealous brother- in law, For hastening to Hamilton, to meet with and ice Proton Nixon on his route to Grey. \Ve mustjudge men by what they do, not by what they profess; were the latter the standard ot a man's worth, Mr. Blake would have a danger- ous rival in the late member for centre Toronto. who talks very beautifully. Were talk the one thing necdt‘ul, the author of the Aurora Speech would take high rank among statesmen; but un- fortunately f'or hint, its great promise lackstulfiltnent; we submit then that when We apply to Mr. Blake, the test of a comparison between his preaching and his practice, his character, either as n staterman or as a man, presents a most unfavorable analysis. He has not only failed intiiely to live up to his pro- fessions, but so far as we may fairly gather from his action since his party attained to power, he never even in- tended to give them practical effect. Indetd, in the discussions which arore duringthc last session. respecting the Anglin and Norris contracts, he was about the only man in the House “ho openly defended these gross violations ot the law of Parliament ; nor has he in a single instance attempted to stem the tide of corruption and extravagance. which is last dragging the country down into ruin. He has neither opposed nor censured those acts of his party which have bio ugtt them into univers:=l dis credit, and we know of no good reason why heshould be dissociated from them in lthc mood of Well merited blame and lcondcmnation, they are now receiving lat the hands of the people. tencies of his character as n stutesmnn‘: In an another column will be fonrd a ettcr f.om Mr. Crawford, stating his 'intention of not coming; out as a candi- date for municipal honors this year. \Ve deeply regret that cur esteemed citizen should have cone to such a determtnntion, and we feel sure so will those who announced their intention of supporting him.
