and, unfortunately for the eountry, they

\. That a railway from Nanaimo across Vasconver's Island be mediately constructed.

2. ‘hat the survey on the mainland be pushe on with the utmost vigor.

3. That a wagon road and telegraph line be immec iately constructed across the continent.

Still the Patriot and even the Hen. R. P. Havthorne were as silent as sucking devss.

There was no talk, then, of petitions.

That wes are not groaning under the monstrous burden of that bargain to-day, we are indebted tv the much-abused Senate.

Fifty thousand (59,000) tons of steel rails were Sought at an enormous prica--a large portion of them sent to Vancouver's Island, where tuey are now represented by. heaps of rit.

Thei stroke of policy was tu ad- vertise, offering any Company that would baild tie road 50,000,000 acres of land and $30,000 000 in cash, besides guarantesing interes’ for 25 years.

Luckily for the country they were ex- pelied trom power by an indignant people, or the present Syndicate would probably have had the contract at nearly double the amount they are receiving from the present Governinent..

They they di said or did- Columb.a, advertising for tenders, surveys,

not mean anything by what they

&c., &c., was not intended to mean any- thing. Surely they are ontétled to be called an

organized liypocricy.

They are ina great rage at oresent. They kaow ix: their hearis that the Government made a good bargain with the Syndicate,

That the 25,000,000 acres of land, and the!

$25,000,000, is not much more than one is oe hk ws las ty se half what they themselves offers

Senator tlaythorne in a letter to the Potrict, veters to our own railway. But if}

that rail\vay had been built and operated by a company it would have been better for the con try, and there no occasion for Senator Haythorne’s mid- night excursion to Ottawa.

Oats trom Prince Edward Island.

Liser. Cor. Wm. MoGuint, whose health, | we are gi id to learn is very much improved, |

is spending the winter at Boston Mass. The deep interest that the gallant Colonel has always manifested in the agricultural prosperity of this Provines is still unabated | as will be seen from the following paragraph which we clip from the Danfries, Scotiand, | Standard of the 24th November last :

** There is at present to be seen at Messrs Kerr an! Fotheringham’s premises, White Sands, a bag of oats grown in Prince Edward {sland, Nerth America, which gained the first prize at C .arlottetown Show, Prinee Edward island, aad first at St. John Agricultural Show, New Brunswick. The oats are of @ five colour, superior quality, weighing 45 Ibs,, wich a little extra winnowing might be made tivo lbs. heavier. ‘They were sent to this coun.ry by Colonel McGill, who is a native ot Kirkeonnel, and cousin of Mr. Met vill. N tional Bank, in order to show the capauiiitic : of that Island as an inducement to agricultur ‘ts who contemplate emigrating. ”

Too much praise canpot be awarded to men poss. sed of such a patriotic apirit as our much esteemed friend Coil. MeGill.

jthe read by the Allan Company in 1878; jand that of Mr. Mackenzie in 1874, with | the preseut scheme, and shewed that, valn- fing the land at only $1 per aore, the coun- \try was now saving $23,000,000 over the (Allan scheme, and $54,000,600 over Mr. | Mackenzie’s scheme. (Loud applause.) Or, if they valued the forty-eight million acres of land at $1.50 per acre, they wers saving $36 000,000, or $57,000,000, respectively !

Mr. Blake had sneered at Sir Charles Tupper and his arguments, but had mis- erably failed to answer him. The people of Canada want argument, not sneers.

Mr. Langevin, continuing, said he was net surprised at Crit opposition to the building of the road. They opposed the building of the assent Trunk. They op- posed every thing calculated to Lenefit the country. They opposed the building of the Intercolonial, and declared that it would ruin the country te construet that road ; and when the Liberal Conservatives deter. mined to “ruin” the country by building it, then they said it would never pay for the crease used on the wheels. Well, he was happy to aay that this year the Inter- colonial would be self-sustaining. (Loud applause. )

The Canada Pacitic was necessary for the development of Canada. It was needed by the east and north as well as by the west. (Cheers.) The company would bring im- {migrants to this country, and induce them

) settle in the North West, aa no Govern- ment ceuld hepe to do. | Mr. Langevin referred to the immense | benefit Canada would derive from the joint limmigration scheme of Canada and the | {mperial Government, and vindieated the \lrish immigrants to Canada from Mr. | Dlake’s insulting taunts and sneers.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dar Sia,—In. your issue of Saturday you state that at three of the meetings held in the District which I represent, resolutions were passed disapproviug of my actionin with- drawing ny support from tho Government, and that these resolutions were passed unani- mously. Your informant has misled you. Provincial Secretary attended five of ithese meetings. { made him a fair offer. On \three of theee eccasions I publicly told him \that 1 was perfectly willing to resign my seat for Fort Augustus previded he would resigu his seat for Cardigan, and that I would run jagainst him in either district that he might iselect. ‘This challenge he declined. it is istill open, and I dare him to accept it.
