The esting last Evening Addressed by E. J. ledgson and Senator Carveil Unanimity of Feeling and Action AN enthusiastic meeting of the Junior Liberal-Conservative Club of this city was held last evening. It was largely attended and after the transaction of rontine busi- nes was wddressed by E. J. Hodgson, E-q., Q. ‘:, and Senator Carvell. Mr. Hodgson’s addcess was excellent He first dealt with the ohj:ct of the club, showing its wembers in a clear and forcible manner that they were net only working for the purpose of electing Liberal Conser- vative candidates in Queen’s County, but for the vinsication w#nd approval cf the wigerons end suecessful administration of the great Liveral-Coiservative Party of Canada. The fight will be a glorious one; ind he felt as sure the Liberal-Conserva- tive Porty woul tbe r turned to power with t large majority, as he was sure the svn would rise to-morrow. He thn reviewed the success of the Government in construct- ing that great highway. the Pacific Railway and corrying out the National Policy. He clearly showed the ability of the present Administration to grapple with these grea! questions, and contrasted their oppon: nts inability to deal successfully with these or other great questions, Then 1e- terhing to the candidates in the field, he asked the young men of the Province to be mindful ot the dastardly attempt made by Laird, McIutyre and Yeo, to steal away their rights as freemen, avd reduce them tu the position of Southern slaves before they were emancipated by Abraham Lincoln. This matter was not, he said, a dead issue ; bot was frech in the minds of every one, and wou'd nut easily be forgotten. Aftef a brief enlogium of the public career of Hon. J. ©, Pope, and a tonching reference to his present illness, Mr. Hodgson resumed his seat, amidst enthusiastic applanse, SENATOR CaRvELL wes well received, and delivered a brief and well pointed adoress. He first showed up the flimsivess of the *xcuses made by the McKenzie Govern- ment to keep the Island ont of representa- non in the Cabinet, afrer it had been deserted by Hon. David Laird. “ If you elect a proper man,” said McKenzie, ‘* we will give him a seat.” This, to say the leasi, was not very complimentary to Senator Haythrne, who had previously led a G vernment, composed of Laird, Davies and others. ly wasasirong hint th«t Me- Kenzie believed he was not fit to take the seat. After disposing of this matter, he alluded to the course pursued by McKen- zie aud his friends, with reference to tle Cape Traverse Railway. It has been stated of that Railway was an eiection dodge. He was in a position to say that the statement was false ; the Railway will be constructed.

Tae Patriot asks what Mr. Brecken has dove for his. constituents during the last four years? Mr, Brecken has done a good deal for Queen's County.

Bat what did Mr. Laird ard his friends do for the Couaty, during the five years they were in power? Their time seems to have been taken up with the attempt to disfranchise the young men of P. E.
