After all the expenditure of money and horse-flesh which the Compact Party have been forced to undergo, to buy, and bribe for signatures, it is candidly admittec by some of their most trusty friends, that they have succeeded in getting about two thousand names, “ood bad, and indifferent.” These people boast unsparing]) of their respectability and intelligence ; but where does it lie—in what does it consist ? There can be no super- abundance of intelligence among those who have helped to make up the two thousand, when many of them re- guired to be instructed by private circular, as to how they should make their mark. As to another instructicn which the Circular contains, namely, that the Petiticn should be kept clean, we have the gratification to assure our readers that it was, in many cases, most scrupulously adhered to: s0 much so, indeed, that the more reflective

‘and considerate part of the country people could not be

induced to sign it from a fear of soiling it: we have seen one returned from Seven Mile Bay without a mark or inky stain upon it.
