I‘he uspil‘unts for offices. were as numerous as files about a were as numerous as flies about :1 horse's head in August. We feel how cruel it is to disappoint their long cherâ€" ished hopes. and tumble all their castles in the air to the ground. But, stern dnt'cs, however painful, must be per- formed. Our u'nject is, irresiicctive of all mere sectional or personal con- sideiations. to point out the heat suited locality fur the County Town, which. we feel assured, must soon be Select- ed. If our Newmarliet friends perstst in setting their hearts on the offices, they must come to Richmond Hill for them. The change will be every way for their advantage. Let us have the County Town. and they may have the situations. This is a compromise we trust they will duly appreciate; and now, let them divest thcmsi2lvcs‘ if they can, of all local jczilousies, and unite with us in agitating for the separ- ation alluded to, and fixing the me- tropolis of the County here, where it ought to he. The Newmnrket Em. speaks of us, as his quaudom friends. His meaning is, by no means, clear to us. What have we done to forfeit his friendship, if we ever had it. or have we done anything for which we ought to be visited with such a penaltyi " We pause for a reply.” In the meantime. we hope. he will not deprive us of his valued friendship. Our cotemporary thinks we are " quite astray" in our remarks about Newmarket. He is not satisfied with our admission of its antiquity. He wishes us to understand, that it is not the most backward village in Canada But he admits that the naughty street. which gave Richmond Hill an exist- ence. has been sucking at the vitals of Newmarket for years; and that be- fore the Railroad was built, Newmarâ€" ket had nothing to depend upon but a local tra'le. Pray, what else has it still. Are not Yonge Street and the Railroad, in point of fact, now united in sucking its Vitals away? And is it not hurrying fast to the fate of Martin‘ Chuzzlewitt's village, on the banks of‘l the Mississippi 7 | ligion from the outstretched hands of Po- pery. Roman Cathoilcs are quite Welcome to give us oppositionâ€"it is in their creed so to do; and by so doing they are notingr con- >cientious|y. But when men oppose us who have comciences and hearts even telling them thnt Popery is an evil thing, and there- fore, they should not tolerate it in any. measure, or give it their influence; ’tis their we feel cnllcd upon to make kn0wn to that world what We think of such characters. i “ The man, or body of men, who will gov hand in hnnd with Popery. may he sure that we will le.ii‘les~ly condemn them for suith conduut.

We have already disposed of our eotemporary‘s denial of the statement about the doctors and quacks. He should not {"el ashamed of them as most ofthem advertise in his own sheet. His last impression is now before us. and we find it to contain advertisements from six physicians. within a circle of three miles of Newmat'ket, besides three dental surgeons, all of whom have practice in that distinguished vil- lage, where the doctors are so expert at curing the ague. Our cotemporary will hardly dispute the evidence ofhis own journal. Some of the doctors al- though having extensive practice in Newmarket, wisely prefer residing in more healthy localities, away from its malaria, for the sake of their fami- lies. But apart from all such considera- tions. the course we point out to our Newmnrket friends, of uniling with us to gel the City and Comin separa- ted for judicial purposes as soon as pos sibln, and~suiiuhle County buildings put up in Richmond Hill, is clearlv the Course which wouH be for lhe advan- tage of the Counly generallyiocludin’g even the town lim: ofBrock and Geor- giana, which the Newmarket Era appears to have so much at heart.

More than a twelvemonth ago, we noticed Mr. Duggan‘s candidateship in the following terms :â€" VVe understand that during the last week, John Duggan, Esq., has been waited upon by several of the most influential electors of this Riding, to allow himself to he put in nomination for the representation oflhe con- stituency in Parliament, whenever a general clec'ion shall take place. We suppose that many of the people of the Riding feel that they are not. now represented in accordance with their political views, and therefore they have determined to take an early opportunity of provid'ng themselves with a candzdate who is likely to carry out their principles fairly and honestly.

John Duggan, is particularly singled out for attack. The only argument however, which the editor has to urge against him is. that the county: has been taxed through city influence, for? which he holds all citizens of Toronto re-i Sponsible. Now it so happens, that Mr. 3 Dnggan, in company with his brother the' Kremder, is a very largeâ€"perhaps one of] the largest landholders in the Riding; and' is, of course, as much interested in the re- duction ofcounty taxation as any other county rateâ€"payer.
