To the Editor of THE LIEERAL: SIR,â€"-Il)e£{ that you will allow me through the medium of your journal to make a few remarks on the above subject. I selected your paper as being the most. likely one to give publicity to those nd~ vanced Liberal principles which for years I have advocated, suffered, and, finally, m4 :1 political rcfugee,left my native land. OnJuly17tli last, I and my family left Liverpool together with 600 other immigrants, to seek a. new home In the New \Vorld. We sailed on board the “ Parisian," one of the Allen Line of steamers, and had a pleasant voyage across the Atlantic. To relieve the mo: notony of the passage religious services were frequently held, so as a matter of change I suggested that, we should have Buluetlllug of n more utilitarian nature; when I selected the above aubjcct and invited discussion The subject was well taken with and we had a large attendance, and towards the end a lively and fiery debate, for we llfltl a few young Conservative Canadians on board. I Was anxious myself to know something of Canadian politics, but little indeed could I learn from these youthful Tory politicians. They gave me what they termed a piece of friendly adviceâ€" told me to leave politics alone in Canada, and on no account to denounce the con- stitution of the Old Country, or handle so roughly the church and state as I had done in my lecture, if I wished to obtain employment, or make myself a. home in Canada. This to me was somewhat dis- couraging, for I thought, have I left one political tyranny only to find another. Political partizmiship runs high in the Old Country, and ll is most. unfortunate for the Liberal or Radical Working-luau when he finds himself in the employ of Conservative masters. In that so called ” Land of Liberty ” there is not that po- litical freedom and liberty of which so many boast. The Colonies are in every respectâ€"rpoliticallv and sociallyâ€"superior to the northern country, and offer a fair. I er field for the industry of the working man. I The Old World is-stilloursed with m Monarchical institutions, burtheiied with taxation, and governed with an aristo- cracy, who cares nothing whatever for the wants and requirements of the toil mg millions. Politically she is still bound and fetfcrerl to upper-clues repre- sentation. The working‘cliisses are still unenfranchised, and today millions are calling aloud for that political freedom and justice which ceiiwries ago onght to have been conceded to them. The po- litical atmosphere of the Old Country is still cloudy; fiery meteors may be seen here and there in the political horizon. The " Tide of Democracy " is still SWell- ing in her large cities and towns, and the day will come, and that shortly, when the political scales must be adjusted. It is proverbial that Englishmen are slow to move, but the politiciil clubs and institih tions which are springing up in every di- rection are a. Sign of the growing intelli- gence of the peoplo,aiid that those neces- Bury must come and come shortly. The industrious, thinking, limd work- ing mun is undoubtedly discontented and disgusted at the existing state of things in the Old Country. There he finds a class-distinction humiliating in the ex- treme~ono law for the Hull and another law for the poorâ€"nextrenic \veiilt l on one hand and extreme poverty on the other. The upper-class are utterly regardless of the condition of the lower, a. kind of mor- bid charity exists which encourages men- dimty instead of preventing it. Alas I the evils of our social system are many, and many they will be while :i few are allowed togrow rich at the ex- pense of the uiuiiy~wliile monopolies are encouraged and the interests of the com- munity ignored. The socialistic philan- tropliist is alone capable of grappling with this great question, but his con- ceptions are scouted by the upper-classes. The Old Country is inonopolized by the few to the injury of the many. The old laws of primogcniture and entail still die- grace our Statute book. Whole counties are held by single individuals, who take a. delight in sweeping oil" the peasantry from the soil. Deer-parks and shooting- grounda are required by those so called “Lords of the Soil,” and, therefore the peasantry are but a secondary Consider- ation with them. It is somewhat grati- fying to think that in the Colonies the value of labor is recognized. That the political principles as laid down by Dr. Adam Smith in his “ Wealth of Nations,” finds more favor in the New \VOI‘ld than in the Old. The English Working man finds himself more at home in his new Fr‘lblelllelltfl of the Colonies than he p03- , ibly Llllld do in “I” lurid of his birth.

Fraternity,” the great political war cry of Radiciilism, he finds carried out to a greater perfection in the New World than he could ever expect it in the Old, which is cursed with a. decaying aristo- cracy, which never was, and never will be of any use to any nation.

At the close of the Anniversary Services In the Methodist Church on Monday even- ing, Mr. Atkinson moved, seconded by Mr. Harrison, that. the Revs. Starr and Howsou receive a vote of thanks for their able ad- dresses, and for their kindness in coming to assist their former congregations. Before this, however, the question as to whether votes of thanks were really desirable, was brought up by the chairman. It may be a question as to the utility of the customary Vote of thanks at the close of public meet- ings, but we do not think that it either has or is likely to be played out. The return of vows of thanks to each and all who have had anything to do with a galhering,whether anniversary or otherwise, may not be neces- sary, and savor of formality, and it is no doubt somewhat tedious to go through the ordeal of listening to a round of votes to the committee of management, the ladies who provide, the choir, &c., &c., all of whom be- long to the church for which they were working, or were locally interested in the matter on hand, and Were simply perform- ing ii duty incumbent on all the members of that particular Church or Congregnlion. We think, hOWevcr, that, when a gentleman is requested to preside as chairmsu, or if others outside 01 the circle of those immedi- ately interested me asked to contribute to the occasion and do so gratuitously, then a. vote of thanks In in order always, and at the same time is the only way an audience has of expressing; its thankfuliiess for the com- plluuce of those geiillcnieu with their re- quest, iiud its appreciation of the services rendered by them to make that occasion a success. â€"»â€"QcOâ€"- DEDICATION ANNIVERSARY. The third Anniversary of the dedication of the Richmond Hill Methodist Church was held on Sunday and Monday last. The con~ gregntiou is to be congratulated on the. great success which attended their efforts. On Sunday, Rev. W. (1‘. Howsou, of Pickering, preached two eloquent nud impreSsive ser. mons to very large congregations, who by their earnest attention, showed that they still appreciated the speaker as in by-gone days. was served by the ladies of the congregation in the lecture room of the church, and the excellent style in which the edibles were pre- pured was fully up to former years. than one hundred dollars were taken for the tea alone. After ten, the Rev. W. ll. Bar- ker, as chairman, in a few well chosen re- marks, called upon the Rev J. E. Starr, of Toronto,th delivered a lecture‘ou “The at- mosphere of the Times," which was listened to with much interest. She lecturer dwelt principally on the tide of infidelitv which is sweeping over our land, and polluting the atmosphere, owing to a great extent to the Handing of trashy and worthless litera- ture bearing on scepticism. He cited many good works which infidelity never attempted to accomplish, and denied the fact. brought forward by some men ol‘ the day, that scept- inism has a stronger hold on the minds of the people than at any former period of time. Mr. Howson followed and in a. pleasing fash- ion spoke his little piece, according to head. lugs put into his hand by one of his lady friends. He then delivered n short address on ” Methodist Union," which he handled in ii masterly manner, and spoke of the good lruits which were certain to follow the Union. The choir contributed greatly to the pleasure of the evening, by singing sevâ€" ei‘iil new mid appropriate selections. The totul receipti nro something over $130,which will be applied to the building fund. â€"â€"â€"-â€"&OO*â€"â€"â€" Honor Roll. Honor Roll of Richmond Hill School for September; FORM IV.
