Dear Sir, —A writer in Saturday's Patrio’, styling himself ‘‘Jack,” gives an untrue account of a meeting held in the Orwell North Schoolhouse on Monday night, Jan, 24.

The following is a correct account :—-A few of the young men of the District gathered at the Schoolhouse that evening for the purpose of organizing a Debating Club, After the business ef the club was transacted, a dis- cussion was started on the Syndicate question. After a warm discussion, a motion was made “‘eondemning the Government's action in relation to the Syndicate.”

An amendment then followed upholding the Government. On a vote being taken it was found thai the meeting was equally divided. The Chairman, (he being a rank @rit) gave the casting vote against the Government.

By publishing the above yeu will much oblige the Conservatives who were present.

Now, contrast that state of things with the present under Liberal-Conservative rule, and under that “horrid Grit bugbear’ known as the ‘‘ National Policy.” For this see the St. John, N. B., daily Sun of 27th January, under the head ‘‘ Trade Returns.” I will only quote from it the following : ‘‘ In the trade with Britain there was an INCREASE f of $13,018,438 over the trade of 1879, whilst there was a D#REASE in that with the United States of $8,207,863.”

The Grits contended that the protective policy would materially injure our trade with Britain. Is it doimg so?
