Our cynies on the south side of Queen Square think we have not been consisvent and resort to the weak and boyish trick of calling and recalling ungentlemanly names We could easily turn the tables, and de- scribe the « M.

We are not a mere politician, but feel as an independent Journalist, that we are simply doing our duty in giving what we consider to be the truth on such public questions as may arise. Is the Patriot free from the charge of inconsistency? Whilst the laugh of his musical yoice was resounding through the vales of Rona and Rassa at having ‘ stop ped the Railway,’’ he was telling (so we have been told) the people of Alberton that if he was in the Government, he would build the Railroad. main trunk, branches and all!
