PRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS! TO) ‘SENATOR MACPHERS N. POR -VINDICATING HIGHLAND HONOR—-AN BLOQUENT ANSWER To, THE FINANCE MINISTER'S, FOUL , INSULT.— IR.

es

(Prom the -Téronto Man: )

Orrawa, March 14,—To-day a deputa- tion from the County “of Glengarry waited upon Senator’ M*Phefson ‘to present hith

| tion of the- Highlanders,. against the, attack made upon by the, Finance Minister in one of hiss ecch's last’sunimer.

The deputation consisted of Major Prater, of Charlottenburg ; Donald MeMillan, M. D,, Christopher 1. .McCrea, Murdoch Mac- phersop, of Lancaster ; John. Ronald Me-

K. Chisholm, Alexander Monroe, of Ken- yon ; Neil K. Mofieod,” and ‘J? “A. “Mac- donnell, Greenfield,»

Having been introduced, Major Fraser, as Chairman of the deputation, explained to Senator « McPherson” the object ‘of "their visit, and’ calledon .Dr.. McMillan. to read the following address :---

Lo the Honorable, David Lewia Madphersom, Senator of Canada

We, the wnidersigned, Highlanders and de-

scendents ‘of Highlanders, and ‘represetitatives of theWarious Clans: which - have ‘settled in | Glen garry, in Canada, beg leave ti express to I yo ourdeep ‘setise of the obligation andei which you have placed‘us by ‘your timely and eloquent rebnke administered to Richard John Cartwrigiit, the. Minister of Finance, who pre- sumed upon the opportunity, afforded him in the political campaiga of the past Summer, in ‘order'to strike a blow at honorable opponents, to slander in. the most» atrocious mamuner the race from which those opponents are descend- cd, thé rate which we-are ‘prond to acknow- ledge az obr cOmmoi ancestry. » ‘iimthe blincness, of his partisan rage, he stigmatize] “us a3 having inhented dishonesty from onr forefathers, “and in’ possessing * rep datory instincts,’ through! the alleged faut that our ancestors. possessed them before us; that these .insticts with us were stronger than reason, and that therefore we are compelled to be thieves, robbers, and outcasts.

‘This nronstrous assertion was made before

which added oo its virulence and yenom, and it is. deliberately perpetuated in a carefully prepared ‘report, , published nearly a ‘month after its CeliVery, ‘which is now being’ dissemi-, nated by'thoiwsands throu*hout the ‘country under the authority of the party to which Mr. Cartwright has for’ the present’ attached him- Nelf) — i: yw & 3 i

£19We. believe it to be: the first ‘time i the history 6f this counbry that a responsible Min- ister of the Crown nas dared ‘thus foully. to slander any. of the first. raves by. whom. this Dominion is populated, and by whom its pro- gress and prosperity are being, promoted.

.**To those of our industrious, euterprising, aud prada z countrymen, wehumbly think, the ¢ountry owes enough ‘both in the present and in the sacred ahd honored memories of the past, to protect us ‘Against-‘so “wanton an-Aat- tack; ‘and You, sir, as & representative of our people'and an honored member of the Parlia- ment of the country, have given the key: note tow rebuke: which nwill be; echoed thronghont this Dominion, not only by every man, and woman of Highland. blood who cherishes, as who «oes not, a) just-and honest pride in the, name of clan and country, but also by all who.

ship.

tk We need hot refer to the military ‘achieve- ments of our forefathers, for they have ‘heen witnessed in every quarter of the globe, and history tells 6f their levalty and devotion’ to thé British Crown. »Mr.« Cartwright: would have done weil to remember, betore calumuia- ting the mén of our race, that had it not been for them itis more than doubtful whether this Dominion would ever have belonged to the British Empire or. would have been ) reserved to it in 1512 and 1837-8,

‘“‘Perhaps Mr. Cartwright has never heard of the striking instance of Highland honor afforded in 1764,-when for months a member of the Royal House of Stuart wanderéd amonyst the Highlands with a price ef £30,000 upon his head, with his hiding-place known to hun- dreds of all ranks and clans, but no. man Was foand.so-basé as to betray him. If -he were aware oi this fact. he would haye done well to uave borne it,jn mind jin 1873, and to. have been guided in some degree at least by similar principles of honor. ")

“Mr. Cartwright’s insult’should indeed ‘fire the Heather’ and send a fiery cross, as of old, throigh every settlement in Vanada where our countrymen, exist to rajse them to resentment and j,ust indignation, , Should they allow this movstrous statement, this slurupon tHeir country and forefathers, to go uncondemned and unchallenged, if, will be impossible here- after for a Highlander or his descendants ‘to show himselt.at market-place er church wath- out being epppsed to insult.

' &¥ou ‘have nobly done your part in answer to the charge, and it is gratifymg in the ex- ##éme’'to,tts ‘to find that we have’a fellow- get mem in’ your high position who has proved Himself so potent a ¢hampion in our vatisd..' 1 biiie : J ‘“#y your manly deaunciation of the slander an‘l tiie slanderer, you have piaced under,an obiigation to you every Highlander in Canada and, on behalf of your countrymen in Glen- garry, we now beg leave to express to you our sincere and hegrttejt thanks. |, -. , “** You can- rest; assured, sir, that when the propar i ac araves the men of Ginoacry, true totus honourable instincts, of her sures, will in the most ugmistakable ‘manher show their opinion of Government which" retains as one at Tse ihets ge ‘who has ‘constituted him- self théléneiny of our race; and which thus not ovly coridowes but-jnstities'and perpetrates his
