Tito document was first offered for publication to the Examiner by the writer. The editor ofthat paper road it carefully over and pronounced it a very disgraceful affair. He promised to pttblish it in his very next issue. It was Icit with him under an anonymous signature. with a private note appended to it. giving the real name of the author. as is usual in such cases. The editor. pointing' to the private note. said.

W Olilt Agent. Mr. Thomas Reilly. will start on a collecting tour through King‘s County on or about the lot of September. A: we have not during the past two ycura intruded upon our patrons in the East. nor on- forced our honest clatms agaiaot unfocling delinquents. we bevo to request them to respond to this visit by pay— ing their respective amounts as soon so called upon. Those who are unable to pay the full amount. can pay a portion. even if only a dollar. The old excuse that thcy were not aware that our Agent would visit them so soon. will not and this time.

Selfishnooo and political cities. uery alone induce the McDonald Ministry to adopt the more objectionable plau.-objoctionablo becaqu of its continuum turmoil, which is more or lose fa- tal to stability: objectionable because it afl'ords greater facilities for bribery and corruption; and objectionable because it naturally induces a oorvile following in the footsteps of certain favored or in- toreotetl constituencies. to the injury of that healthy independence of action and of thought on necessary to insure purity of government. When. therefore. Sir John A. McDonald and his colloaguoe introdu- ced the continuous system of elections. they eotab. Iislted a precedent which will be opt to prove a curse to the Dominion.

Another foatttrc in the working of the new coo~ stitution. which is not only bad. but so novel in it- self. as well as contrary to the loud predictions of the Fathers of Confederation. that we cannot avoid noticing it. “'o were positively assured. time and again. that with the advent oi Confederation. party spirit. and the bane of what is termed oeetionalism. would be instantly abolished. But what is tlto ac- tual state of tho case? Why. that every public man who has not thought prepsr to pay absolute homage to tho hydra-headed Coalition Ministry. has bcett not only rigidly excluded from botlt the Gen- cral and Local Governments. but ltao also been at- tempted to be hounded down as a Fenian. an annex- atiooist. or a rebel, and that with a malignancy at Mr.

McGee. for example. with a modesty and good

his opponent. Mr. Devlin. and all his Irish support-

mercy. A charge of this kind coming from Mr. McGee is ridiculous enough. but it serves to show,

the spirit which the loading Canadian statesmen;0M Court!" Emmi-'9 M St.

wish to infuse into the politicsoftlto Dominion. The Hon. John Saobeld McDonald was selected to form

the Governor of which. who is a more creature of the McDonald Ministry. at the some time dictating. as lto had been instructed to do. to tito Premier. the names oftho coutlcmon who were to comprise the remainder of his advisers. Let the reader imagine. for a moment. that from some cause or other a new Government were required to be formed in this Co- lony. and that the Colonial Minister were to instruct Lieutenant Governor Duudss to entrust that duty to some creature of his own. who in his tttrn was com. polled to select. from among characters of his 0st facile disposition. the requisite number of minioters pointed ottt to him. and the beautieo of the political system at present being carried out. will be at once perceived. It is no wonder indeed that Sir John A. McDonald told his supporters the other day. that irom the exhibition which Canadian politicians were making of themselves. neither British Co-

We perceive that our smart contctnporary. tho Rati- fax Reporter. has despatched a "Chiel" to Charlotte- town to take notes among us.
