PROSPEROUS TIMES FOR THE OFFICE
HOLDERS

At the great Harrison meeting held at cincin-
natl on New Years day, and which was the largest
and most enthusiastic ever held in that city and
what is quite remarkable the President of the meet.
ing (EBENEzER llULsE ESQ., and many of the Off
GERS of the meeting are known to have been ardent
supporters Of the election Of Gen. Jackson to the
Presidency in 1928, Mr. PENDLE TON, the delegate
the course of a speech related the following nnec-
dote which we think is adapted to the latitude of
Missouri:
He said that in one Of the counties of Ohio he
found landlord who for wonder was a rabid Van
Buren, man, so much 50 that he could not conceal
the fact even from his guests all of whom he dis
covered we're in favor Of General HARRISON. Our
host said that he and his neghbors were all in favor
OF the Administration, which had produced such
prosperous times that every body with them was
getting rich, and that, for his own part, ne had
never made as much money before. | expressed
(snld Col. p my surprise at this, the very re-
verse was the case between the Miamis-that
nobody praised the times but the ofIce-hoders, and
that our landlord himself must be an oiice-holder

that, in the opinion of this County Treasurer, Mr..
VAN BUREN, has the credit of the large crops, and
PROVIDENCE must be content to be charged with
low prices"

" THE SECRET CIRCULAR"

Agreeably to our promise of last week we IRE.
sent this letter TO our readers. That it was MOL
published in January last is because our paper did
not start until last week, and we presume the rea.
son why it was not copied by our contemporaries of
the Wing press had relation as well to its great
length d' that 1t was sent, in letter form, to every
neghborhood in the state. Certain it is, it was no
Secret-if it had been it had never been entrusted
to the mail. We are reoccd, at all events, that il
has found its way to the columns of two pres n e
the Administration, and hope it NAV be conf

have been many day since their columns
graced with as liberal sentiments, as uprig1
poses, as sincere forebod!ugs Of the oyertift
the peoples rights, and as fair and honorable

wherever. the circular is read, its authors mus
regarded, at least, as liberal and patriotic m
anxious to serve and save the country by anhonoN
BILE conjunction with those friends of General
Harrison who were prejudiced against Mr.. Clay
This is the whole pth of all that is said concerning
the Harrison democrats, in relation to which he

49, OUR ESTIMATE OF THE RESULT.
We are not unmindful of the depreciation which
the opinions of either citizen or an Editor may
incur by their seeming extravaganza. but having
carefully scanned the progress and tendency ofpub-
lie sentiment in every State in the Union, we de-
lberately express the belief that Mr.. Van Buren, is
not sure OF pre than thirty electoral votes in the
approaching Presidential election. We are far from
giving up even Missouri (for Judge White was beu-
ten but between three and four thousand votes)--
but assuming that she will be the last to assert
the principles Of true republcanism and native SET
respectable New Hampshire and other States
which are claimed for Mr.. V. b. because Of the sup
posed influence of one man in each, our vote is but
as drop in that vast ocean Of public Indignation,
which is sweeping rcsisteSsly over almost every
election ground in the Union. Every SANDER against
the war worn patriot but adds to the number of his
friends, and there is absolutely No TELLING WHERE
THE CURRENT IS TO STOP The coalition with Cal
houn may give the present incumbent the vote of
South Carolina, which votes by its Legislature, but
the marriage of the force bill" with the ordinance

beyond the precincts of the selfish and individual

lance.
South Carolina has votes-said to be controlled
by John G. Calhoun, New Hampshire has votes,
alike controlled by Levi Woodbury. and Isaac Hill.
These we regard as being certain for Mr.. Van Bu-
ren--to which should probably be added the votes
Of Georgia, Arkansas and Mississippi.
The States which are regarded as doubtful, but
which we firmly believe will vote for General Har-
rison. are North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Maine, Tennessee and Alabama. Assuming, how
ever, that o. Of these 20 agans' u.s. we yet have
rajority remaining for Harrison in States that we
regard os r-Aun-Jeyoad eDAr0uerSy. Assuming
thu. !alf we have enumerated above 90 for us,
-Tee have maj GRITTY of nearly an hundred-und as
sumng that they all support the patriot statesman

deserves to do, who frs. aistiQct proposed, in his
own person, to cat.sesi,sefrgs eher, and food
fl nurse, of the c6rfuptiong q The times-ths re-
Election Of the President.
We shall hence be disappointed unless the maj o,.
ity of the republican candidate is in the neighbour
hood Of ~ least an hundred, and we would not be
surprissd to see it 90 up to 100.

Correspondence.
To the Editor Of North american.

Your devotion to the Canadian cause,
and the immense trouble you are daily
taking to enlighten the American people
upon the many causes which have brought
our native country into political degrade
ton, have given me the idea Of lending
you helping hand in your noble task,
by furnishing information of which you
might be ignorant, or perhaps may have
forgotten.
No doubt, sir, the task Of the Editor
who sacrifices his time and labor for polii-
cal freedom, is the attribute of noble and
undefed soul. Unfortunately his labors
are no, always compensated as they ough,
TO be. for one can speak coeuizantly
on that subject. The public know not how
to reward the fa,igues and mental labor Of
faithful editor, who generally lives and
dies in poverty he is many time cursed
even by those who, by his pen, have been
elevated to the highest honors.
But, let Us leave these painful reflections
and speak of the individual who occupied
our attention 10 my last correspondence.
We left Chief Justice James Stuart en-
broiled with the Judges at Montreal, in
1916, for contempt Of Court, which was
clearly proved but which was never a.
toned for.
Soon after this, seeing that his POPULAR
ty was fast waning, and as he was medi-
tatine an act Of political spostacy, he be-
gan to waver. and finding much opposi-
tion TO his election as member OF the
House Of Assembly, he threw himself into
the arms OF the official party. As the re-
ward of bis apostacy, he was made AT
TORNEY GENERAL. 10 this lucra-
tive Office, he found the gods he worship
ped, (goId and siIver,) and besides this he
had in his hands the necessary esgine to

The insinuations Of this paragraph, as also
those made about religion, have but little sense !;
Tor, how could we imagine that constitution which
gave the people the right TO make laws for them
selves, could endanger their religion, or expose
them TO increased taxation. Whatever may be
the form Of government its expenses must be
paid. All the difference there is between our con-
siituton and the other form Of government is, that
under our constitution there can be no unless
the people consent through their representatives.
II moi because The noblesse and the oice>hold-
were afrtid tina, the people should pay too many
taxes, that they were opposed TO the constitution:
IL was because that constitution gave to the people
abe right 10 regulate the amount Of taxes; 1t was
this control which they were unwilling 10 yield.
They knew well thai the expenses Of the govern.
meat aud the pensions they were begging also,
could not be paid without taxation; they wanted
them imposed by the Council. TO which they wished
10 be admitted, and not 10 be voted by the House
OF Assembly. La CGnadien, 18th august 1909.
