SIR,â€"I noticed in an upstart, wishyâ€" washy, old-woman’eâ€"sortâ€"ofâ€"sheet, pub- lished somewhere in your neighborhood. fan article over the signature of “Sheep,” ‘thewriter of which must be a very clever and funny Man It is fortunate for the Pairty, that they have secured such an able and consistant writer to fight their battles, even if he is a little sheepish in appearance and disposition. Now, sir, as I do not wish to waste your valuable space, by indulging to much in chaff, I will endeavor to take up the points raised by “Sheep,” as they occur in his letter. In the first place Mr Sheep insinuates, with very bad taste, that there was a bargain and sale be- tween Mr Patterson and myself; but such is not the case, as any overtures of that kind made to me, would have been rejected with scorn, and might have re. sulted fatally for Mr P‘ as Mr G would have been tempte-l to the use of those bunting proclivities, for which Mr Sheep gives him credit, In the next place, -‘ Mr Sheep tries to make out that the “Reform Banquet” was not a hole and corner atfair, and attempts to prove from lthc‘circulats of invitation sent by the committee, that the invitation was a broad one. In answer to this, it is only necessary to summon these circulars as silent witnesses against the wild asser tions made by, (I was going to say,anâ€"- anâ€"well never mind this time.) and show that the ground on which he stands is extremely treacherous, full of pit falls. These six hundred circulars were ad- dressed to'six hundred clear Grits only. (let'Mr Sheep deny this if he dare.) and they were instructed to bring their ‘Grit neighbors along with them, and the result was, that about. two lmndred responded to these solicitations, thus Vmaking’the afl'air (what bheep would like'to lune us believe.) “A Grand and Brilliant Success.” I venture to assert thatfiheep could not count one hundred genuine voters of East and West Yo:k théfe’lthat night. The next point that this thick headed sheep tries to make is this, that because your correspondent voted f'or,and supported N C Wallace at the last general clcction, I 31:0 voted and supported the McKenzie Govern- ment, which was the Government of the‘day 'l‘his by all odds is the‘ best point that Sheep has yet made, and if he only keeps developing his talents as a writer, he will be entitled to a “Leather Medal” for his great and invaluable ser- vices in behalf ofthe Pairty of purity and low assessment Yours respectfully by order of the Grits, A GOAT. 7‘0 the Editor of the Herald: GOAT ON THE WAR PATH. Our columns are open to a fair dls- cusslon on all subjects. without pre- udlco' Slurâ€"'1 hope the farmers of the County-of York, will take a little more interest in the doings of their County Council, ifthey did their taxes would be a little ' less, While on that subject they should watch the Equalization «Business and they would find that the smaller farmers are the heavier tax "payers. Let them look at the assess- Vments of say, Patterson 81. Bros, Mr Fleury’s, Mr Abell's, then John Mac- Douald's, A Nordheimer’s, Mr Leslie's, Hon. Mr McMaster's and some of the Markham property. If they do this they; will see What assessment means. It simply means that the big man would be‘ let off lightly and the little man pay. Then comes equalization and the little man pays again. 1 hope the small-farmers will watch the assessment of this year‘ certainly the assessors will be watched. Already there is a nice little’ hash cooking in Markham. I see there is another action and damages in consequence of the bad state of the York roads; damages for an up set on Kingston road, and of course, as much more for costs. I see Mr James Brown of Richmond Hill, is complaining: of Yonge street betwecn toll‘gates 4 and 6. Let him come and look at Kingston road, ah, but we have got a bridge over the Don, I wonder Stokes did not put his..,photo at each end. There will be more actions; women and children will get killed on it, no side walk to protect them. I hear that a limb of the law is watching for an accident and of course an action, He says the County of York isgpbd for it. They will go it blind. KINGSTON ROAD. To the Edilor of the Herald.

Suchâ€"It is now sometime since I have had the pleasure of contributing,r to the columns of the Your: Hunnm, the paper having by some way or other been induce-d to leave this neighborhood for a while. But. alas! for that confidence that has 3 weak humunity for its bulwark. Although the HERALD was supplanted by the Reform ghost of the Woodbudge F766 Press,” yet the very “party” who canceived the politi- cal “scheme” were discomfited on the 17th of September, their high-toned leaders fell or fled before the sword of public justice.

Thanks to the HERALD, for without its informntion, I should never have heard ol'that “Reform Oyster Supper, at Richmond Bill, or ofthe niore novel “Reform Social” at Maple- Leaf Hotel in the village of Maple.

To the Editor of the Heald. @mmmummmm. March 31, 1879. raising “party funds.” to be expended, per- haps, as an “Anti-Duncan peace-ofl'ering. In glancing over Mr Patterson’s “little speech” at Richmond Bill,1 was somewhat amused at his opening remarks. He pro- fessed to have been the servant of the electors of West York for eight years, and had only now for the first-time come before them to give an account of his stewardship --hnppy steward, insensate electors. For eight years Mr Patterson enioyed an un- interrupted lease of ofiice, basking in ‘the sunshine of a lteforrn Administration. Perhaps, he felt too self-important to come before his constituents to consult. them as to the course he should pursue in Parlia- ment. For eight years he supported or 0p- posed any measure that came before the House just. has his leaders pulled the ‘wire,’ evirrcing neither independence of thought, power of speech, rtor freeeoru of uctiorr.. During the last session of the legislature, the opposttiotrl under the able leadership of Mr Meredithrnoved to rtduce the salaries of Ministers and Members to curtail the public expenditure and so lighten the but- dens of the tux-payers. Mr Patterson ridi- cules this policy of economy as being “crude and partial,” although he krows quite well. living as he does in urur'nl dis- trict, that the farmers and other classes ofr the people living under the pressure of hard times. are compelled to practice the strictest economy in the management of their private and domestic affairs. and therefore. they will not sanction extrarVn- gance in those "stewards" whom they have entrusted with the management. of their publrc interests. The electors of West York have so for justified the policy of the opposition as to deem it expedient to (rpâ€" pose M r Patterson at the next electiorr,they have chosen a candidate in the person of Mr Tyrr‘s‘ll, of Weston, a gentleman who is, in every respect thoroughly qualified for the position. This is, indeed. onrnrous enough to prompt our “Modest Steward,” utter eight long years of "silent ease,” to come before the electors to give a glowing account of his stewardship. His "purtv faith” begins to shake, The clouds ho well tnay dread Ate full of terror, and will break, Disastrous on his head “The party.” ah! sir. we have heard but little "eloquence ’ expended on that 'shield and buckler of the past.” During the lust campaign in West Kork, five years of Re» form rule at. (lttawu. convinced the liberal and independent electors of the riding that the great Reform Party was being con- verted into a "crib" for politicians. there- fore they votedâ€"not for a partyâ€"hut for a National Policy. Mr Patterson, it is lrue. opposed the National Policv with all his Ining and influence. doing all in his power to deft-at Mr N C Wallace, M R; doing all in his power to defeat the ultimate object of that policy of protection to the farmers of Canada, which in a few short, weeks. has raised the p.ice of oats from 30 m 45 cents; pens from 60 to (37 cents; and “heat from 85 cents to fill per bushel. Thus, he may be snid, to have “bat-ed his arm.” and stood in the “gap” between the people and pros- perityâ€"but his “hour is at. hand.” He may endeavor to buoy himself with an imaginary hope of t'i.-eleclion. b,ttt the spell will soon be broken.
