The funds of the soctety cannot be used for such purpose. \ ‘We have upon our benefit list two venerable New York typos, each in his seventy-eighth year—Alexan- der Brady, who still endeavors to set his stickiul at the Methodist Book Concern composing rooms, and Charles Proctor, who is now totaily blind, but wi oy with hundreds of others, can testify to the work done by the society.

The editors ef tho various “leading jour- nals”—those which are least behind—make double or treble usé of the HERALD, Its spectais by cable— from Wilhelmshohe, Berlin or Versailles~form four. Ofths of the telegraphic news, Then huge blocks of foreign correspondence, home news, spicy summa Ties or accurate details and condensations, are trans- ferred to the outside. One would think that by this tame the MANGLED ‘HERALD’? had earned repose. But no, It furnishes editorial themes innumerable for slashing articles, wherein Tepublicanism, sensational journalism, prostitution of the press, American decadence and English grammar are alike assaulted. ‘That abominable and pandering organ, the HERALD, still continues, true to its hellish instincts, to belle ——’’ and so on through a maze of adjectives and exclamation points, On the occasion of the publication (in the HERALD of December 81, 1870) of the letter from Ben Butler, nd some remarks as to Canadian annexation, the usual storm broke out, and your correspondentre- ceived a host of ‘flattering notices of the p ” The Globe gravely declared the wholo matter un- worthy of a moment’g consideration, and then naturally proceeded to review it at vast length, and concluded by sagely remark- ing that “this must be stopped”’—not pausing in its virtuous indignation to indicate the precise methods whose adoption 1t would urge. I accordingly trembled and came to Quebeo, pausing on the way to ascertain for myself the exact state of public opinion. On the morning of my arrival I was pleased to find that the Glove had become more explicit, and had called upon the offended majesty of the law to BANISH OR ARREST ALL HERALD CORRESPONDENTS, and generally to “comprehend ali vagrom men,” in the words of sage Dogberry. If the law couldn’t do this the citizens should apply to Judge Lynch for an injunction of triple Barnard power, This amfa- ble policy 18 being generally advocated throughout the country press, qnd@ affords the most flattering testimony to thd powe? of the New York HeRaLp and the correctness of its statements, This self-constituted Defender of the Faith, the Globe, is published at Toronto, and has the largest. circulation of any paper in Canada. Its newsis good, Prompt and plentiful, although its reports on po- litical matterd are always colored. It would make @ very respectable third class American daily in such a town as Springfield or Buffalo, its political features are worthy of remark, Its editor is the Hon. George Brown, a wilom politictan and leader of the Protestants er reformers of Ontarie. He is @ Man of much ability, unnappily marred by a vio- lent temper and strong prejudices. Bestriding what was callea the GRBAT PROTESTANT WAR HORSE, he led the refcrmers in Parliament, in the field and in the press, hurling the most violent accusations against his enemies. No abusive term was too foul, no charge to monstrons, no action too mean or too unscru pulous, so that it made an adversary wince, ‘The grave could not cance! animosities nor its kindly oblivion save the memory of the best beloved of Canadian statesmen from the assaults of this un- happy, man’s pen and tongue. Backed by a power- ful following, whom he lashed into unanimity, and fanning into’@ blaze those embers of discord be- tween races and religtontsts, which have, under such men as Brown and [incks, cursed Canada, he made himself a namé, if nota Feputasion ) 1ei— if | remember rig! be overtu 6 Ministry and entered office with the Hon.

Here his political fuvécal took place, He had long been striving for representation by population, aesirin; that Ontario aud Quebec shouid be representa: mm the House on basis of population—not, as was then the case, by sixty-flye members bes whereby Quebec, unit d an ied with the minority of Ontario, always riied the roast. Both parties “iy ae evenly balanced can no govern- ment could carried on Sir John A. Macdonald proposed a coalition between the conservatives and eORmare: whereby Mr, Brown | f ar atereg fu id and entered the Md: ait supporting the new Ministry on the basis of con. federation, Tiis was the famous “Coalition of 1864.’) It hag always been shrewd juspected that Sir John A.

Torren' of abuse, libellous anywhere but here, Wére poure: out against his colleagues of a few months betore. The old feuds were opened, But Brown's day was over. His reform colleagues would not give up office to follow their chief, The elections resulted in favor f the Ministry, and Mr. Brown himself, after a desperate contest in South Ontario, was beaten b; Mr. Gibbs by 71 votes, Since then he has been al rabid as ever, but people pay little attention to bin, His old foltowers no longer fear the lash, and he made a miserable exhibition of impotency by at- tempting to ‘rei ut of the par ? several who dittered from him in belief. He a led himself and ener aw ee ators Of &lifetame by accepting ofice gre aie ae Mani WIS BED with opponents whom he had sccused of every vice possible. When they had used him to tneir content they flung the poor, broken, useless tool aside. His. slaves no ad Teared him, his friends despised him, his enemies jeered him and the public could no longer be imposed upon by his protestations of virtue. A more melancholy wreck Of @ statesman I cannot recall, L have devoted to this ambitious and wretcned man far more space than I intended or he deserves, Only 1 may venture nere tie prediction that annexa- tion, or its prelude, dependence, will be the queg- tion on which the general elections of 1872 will turn, as in 1864 they hinged on gonfederation, Mr. Brown, will play his LAST TRUMP then, as leader ofthe loyalty ana integrity of tho country against the “vile rabble of republicans,” and his career may be interesting in view of this fact. 1t1s a blessed omen that he has never 0 posed a cause without thereby insuring its immedl- ate success. And it 1s @ hopeful sign, as betokening the alarm of the stubborn loyalists, when they begin to rave about invoking popular violence—the last weapon of reckless demagogues—aguinst a cause rapidly advancing 1f the public favor. After this preface, long ag a deacon’s grace, I must shorten my letter, especially as on my return to Montreal | shali have to claim considerable space for the puplication of the remainder of the corre- mdence preluded by Mr. itler’s letter in the IBRALD Of the Slat December, 1870, To continue, Travelling hither 1 traversed the heart of the a MERICAN NORMANDY, iteady described in my, correspondence.

In the Catholic, as in other denominations, we generally find less political tolerance, and, consequently, less political ability @mong ihe clergy than among any other ciass.

He is naturally preju. ised against any system likely in his imagination to curtall his privileges or power, and naturally aimicult to convince that any other aystem would not do so. Ihave many acquaintances among the city clergy, especially among the Jesuits; and I find their ezmpathy with American ideas generally in pro} on wo their education and experience of the world.
