Patner GLackMKYeR addressed an ime mense audience in St. Dunstan’s Cathe-« dral last evening, upon the subject of in- temperance, His text was, ‘if any map will follow me, let him deny himeelf,’’ etc. He dilated upon the triumphs of courage—the courage which achieves the greatest victories ; and exalted the courage which gives a man _ the victory over himself — which enables him to say ‘1 will not,” and to act it, above all the glories-of Wellington and Nelson; and dwelt upon the difficulty and

vice of intemperance after a man had once allowed it to obtain a hold upon him. He denounced intemperance because it des. troys the beauty of home and is a sip against God. He exhorted fathers and mothers —the props—and young men and women—the hope-—of the congregation to abstain entirely from the use of strong drink; and he read the young women quite a lecture upon the necessity —if they would have sober husbands—of learning to cook. Strong food, well cooked, he argued, would tend to overcome the cray« ing for stimulants. The address was held together by a series of yery strongly pour- trayed and exciting examples of the hory

‘rors of drunkenness. The Father's mission

here will end on Sunday, when there will be three masses—one at half past six, one at eight, and the other at ten, a, m. At the latter be will preach.

ANOTHKLR LETLIER FROM DR. JENKINS.

To the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Sir,—The comments of the editor of the Patriot on my letter bring to mind a trifling but singular incident which occurred some years since. | was walking, early in the morning through one of my pasture lots, when, on stepping over « log, | was sud- denly attacked by a partridge. I need not say the effect was not serious; but the poor bird gained her object, which was to atiract my attention while her little brood were engaged in securing a hiding-place. The Patriot adopts the same tactics, and hopes, by a personal attack upon me, to draw public attention from the sins and short- comings of his patrons, whom he is unable todetend. His attack is about as innocu- ous as that of the partridge; but I do not think he will be successsul in diverting the

keenly that their affairs are mismanaged, and are daily becoming more and more alive to the fact that their substance is wasted in maintaining «a legislative ma- chinery sufficient to govern the whole con- tinent of America! And with what result? Are the public funds laid out solely for the benefit of the public? No; rather for the benefit of officeshunters. Look at the roads threugh, not over, which the taxpayer ig forced to convey the produce from whose sale he makes the wherewithal to satisfy his stern taskmastere! Look at the bridges full of holes, where, ip addition to the Lurden of texation, he may have the misfortune to break his horse’s leg. Where is the substitute for statute labor? Where aré the Supervisors ? Look at the roads in the Royalty which have been macadamised at heavy expense, and are now going to destruction right under the eyes of Cocamissioner of} Public Works, of the Government En~ gineer, and of the Supervisor, whose joint salaries and expenses will come little short of $400 dyesr, Only yeaterusy I passed over the Spring Park Road and found the stones cut through and the wheels down to the clay, all for the want of a few hours woik and ‘a little attention. The Coma missioner of Public Works finds time to ttend Political meetings, and has th

watchful eye of the people, who teel too; =

ae

supreme assurance to siand up and state ‘that the road service was never so well performed as at present.”’ I do not hesi- tate to say that neocry were the roads so /neglected as during the past summer, | (can bring huadreds, and, if need he. thousands, of truthful and independent farmers to verify my statement.

The editor of the Patriot, not being in a position to disprove my assertions, makes personal allusions. facts, he will fight the writer.

!

sary, {dare say | can hit as hard as my any means, invulnerab'e. in supposing the reade; will inquire into my political standing. The mcod just now is to seek for facts which bear on tbe situ~ ation. Moreover, | do not take the stand

to keep up what | again state is a most un

iam sorry that my criticisms of the As- sessment Act ‘‘are neither original nor profound,” for in that they closely resem- ble the editorials of the Patriot—a similar.

objections to the Act are: first, that it is

despotic in its action, it presents in its de- tails the most wretched complication of bungles ever consummated by a Legisla. ture. This is my opiaion, Mr. Editor - and! have already stated that the Govs ernment is most unpopular and incom- peteat. With your permission, ! will, in @ future number, give the grounds on which my opinion has been formed.

_i\bave » perfect right—and wi'! maintain itin spite of'the Government organs—to wake myself heard. The sarcasms of the Patriot do not appal me, nor does the at- tempt at satire of the Journal, cause any - thing mcre than a emule at his silliness. 'bey may rest assured that neither my pen nor voice will be silenced till T see that |

Province, have a prospect of being ruled in &@ manner consistent with the rights, interests, and welfare of a free people.
