The declara- tions of membors during tho Pucific-corruption debato, tho emphatic condemuation by all tho coustituencios appealed to of tho courso of tho Macdonald Goverument, aud the' assurances of support roceived from all parts of the wide Do- mitiion, ‘gave ‘Mr. Mackenzie good ground ‘for hopo that, in eleating to submit his polioy to tho pradont Parlinment, he would bo sure of a favor- sble recoption.. But thera wore other and Ku\vuvml conmbating ronsons 'ngninst taking tho nzurd of such .o course. .‘Tho late Govern- mental party, although driven disgraced from tho ‘field, and at tho time apparontly ovor- whelmed, still possrssed onough of .vitality to reorganize, aud, thanks to tho superhuman of- forts of his frionds, SirJoln A, Macdouiild being prosorved in o semi-stato of sobrioty, the PUGENIX OF A NEW ORGANIZATION,o of no iuconsiderablo dimonstons, arase from the ashos of the Macdonald party.
