S.â€"‘You may publish this if w you wish._ T. F. W. i [The italics are thewriter’s.â€"â€"Eo. .LIB.] Had it not been for the postscript .of the above precious production, ~-\ve certainly should not have given :it a place in our columns. We should have treated it as Dante's guide in the lower regions instructed him to treat those evil spirits who, Ifaithless to all others, were for them- ;selves alone. ‘Gaze at them,’ said :the sage, ‘and pass on in silence.’ But Mr. T. F. Wallace evidently regards his insolence as he does the- wvares in his store. They are useless address they are exposed to the eye ofthe public. 80 with his insolence. "\Viih infinite good-breeding,he must parade it in the light of day. At ijczist, Thomas will admit that we filiave not sought to balk his muddy (desire. . But business before pleasure. Although we have no certain knowl- vcdge that Thomas wrote his letter .at the wish and with the approba- tion of his brother, Mr. N. C. \Val- lace, yet we must tell ‘my Brother’s’ {wit-h a big B) brother that when THE LIBERAL has been paid for the three years during which ‘ m) Brother" has received it, we shall cease to send it. As a man of busia iicss, we think that Thomas will grant that here we take a sound po- .~Slt10n.c,.1il:aiiias must also pawcivc . that, in his haste to be rude. he has :been rather careless of ‘my Broth- er‘s' feelings. So much the worse tor both Thomas and ‘my Brother.’ Having now performed a some- what disagreeable task,having made .a fit reply to the discontinue part of .the letter, we turn to its remaining contents. \K/est York, Thomas scris,has answered our libels. West ‘York has done no such thing, for Tin: LIBERAL has never indulged in libels either on N. C. Wallace or on any one else, We defy Thomas to point to a line or to a word in any issue of this paper which could by the greatest ingenuity be twisted in- to aught most remotely akin to libel. lf to have politically opposed N. C. ‘Wallace, it to have combatth his ideas and theory of government he libelous, then, indeed, we must plead guilty to Thomas’ charge. In his private capacity. we have seldom or never made the slightest allusion to the member for West York. In his public .capacity. we did all that we honorably could in opposing him. And well tell Thomas that, as we have acted in the past, we shall con- tinue to act in the future. Thomas must remember that a victory at the polls is not always an irrefutable reâ€" ply to the defeated party’s conten» tions. He Inust remember that it is often the fate of a good cause to meet with many reverses before it finally triumphs. If ‘my Brother’s‘ majority had been as many thous- ands as it is hundreds, that would not be to us even the semblance of a reason for retreating from the grounds which we have taken, and still take, In this paper. That Thomas is highly elated at ‘my Brother's’ victory goes without saying. He has a cause far more substantial than mere fraternal af- fection for his elation. ‘My Broth- er’s‘ good services secured for Thom: as a large slice of Boodle in shape of a timber limit in the North \Vest- And what has once been done,may often be repeated. Thom- as, therefore, does well to exult in the triumph of ‘my Brother.’ But surely Thomas is too face- tious when he dubs THE LIBERAL a Rib Stabbing Hag. We might object that a rag can hardly be considered as an instrument for stabbing. We retrain, however, for we are not cen- sorious. But the pith of the joke cracked by Thomas consists in the ludicrous.suppositionahatanyweap- the love yourjest. Bejust, then, and confess then that THE LIBERAL has . afforded you ample opportunity to display to the public your brilliant wit. A pike-pole, Thomas, would avail as little against your ribs, as the amenities of life avail against your manners. But, dear Thomas, what Will the world say P We shall tell you :â€" You are a man of nice instincts, if we may judge from your actions. You are insolent in the hour of vic- tory. and, consequently, it 'is fair to draw the inference that you would be abject in the hour of defeat. When fortune, in the North West, for example, favors you, you are loud and truculent, and, consequentâ€" ly, it is fair to draw the inference that should the ficklt> jade desert you, you would be voiceless and humble. Rejoice, then, clear Thom- as, while it is day for .the party of hich we would fain hope that you are not a good specimen. Rejoice, for before many more moons shall wane, your party may be engulfed in rayless night. - In conclusion, Thomas, accept the assurance of the stupefaction with which we behold your monu- mental impudence and your puny vindictivencss. It is with pleasure that. we recommend our readers to try \Vest’s Cough Syrup.

All druggists. l 0 Why were They Sworn P To the Editor of Tun LIBERAL: DEAR SI]t,~’l‘he York Herald appears to be greatly agitated, and expiessus great sorrow, bccnuse certain of their Conserva- tive friends, viz.,â€"Messrs_ ,Iohn Elliott and Win. ‘llrinknell, were asked to fake the oath before they were allowed to mark their ballots on the day of the election. Now, if the above~nanied gentlemen could conscientiously take the oath and vote, \\ hy fume and rage so much about» it. If, on the other hand, they had received the promise of money for work done in eon- ueciion with the election, and forfeited theirright ot the frzmchise,tl.:it is quite an- other thing. No doubt the Reform scru- tineors were justified in their notion, and only carried out. the instructions given them by the Reform party. They had every reason to believe they were not ex- ceeding their duty. When electors exhibit. great outbursts of anger, and vow vengeance upon their opponents, when simply asked to take an oath, they certainly lay themselves open to suspicion. In conclusion, I think the York Ifcrultl would have shown more consideration to its friends had it. left the matter with the parties concerned, and not heralded the names throughout the neighboring dis- tricts.

To the Editor of THE LIBERAL : DEAR Sin,â€"Up and down throughout this Canada of ours, the loyal cities of our Dominion are following the example of the Mother Country and that of all other countries who love the name of Queen Victoriaâ€"God bless herâ€"and are pre- paring in some suitable manner the cele- » [nation of her Majesty’s fiftieth year of her reign over the British Isles, and over the vast dependencies which have been added to her sway since she ascended the throne. Not only cities, but towns, villages, and even hamlets, are aspiring to re- member in some fitting way a semi-cen- tennial, which seldom occurs in the reign , of any monarch. Our village is not very large nor are our capabilities very great, but our loyal- ty and love to our Queen are equal in proportion to our size to that. of more ambitious centres, where her majesty’s loyal subjects most congregate, and all we need is some way of showing it. The time was when the only way of manifesting; our supervabundant enthu- siasm, was by gormandiziug and guzzling, but: we now live in a more utilitarian age when the capabilities of the brain are more the object. of study than the recept- ive capacity of the stomach, resulting in the erection of colleges, the endowment of universities, and the founding of char- itable institutions, much more enduring monuments of the public expression of individual or national gratitude, What-hirger places do on a larger scald We as a small fraction of Her Majesty’s vast dmuinions might. do on a smaller scale, so, Mr. Editor, I would suggest. that we get. something that will remind us every day of this episode in the life of our good Queen, and that you s are the l columns of THE LIBERAL to co «respond- ...~..i.».u» ..
