In answer to this we say,—

1. It is true the government ia in office;

but it is not likely to be long in office. 2. It is true that the Government has made promisesand will probably make

more;—but it is not probable that they will perform their promises.

The Government have made many pro mises many of which they bave had ample

epportunity to perform. Put hundreds and

thousands of deceived men throughout the country Cau attest that they are not to be
