BRIsAptER GENERAL
CHARLES HlNDENLANG.

A Trend has kindly presented Us wlth two
letters OF the unfortunate Charles HinteG-
lang, written ON ihe eve and on the day OF
his execution. We will strive to give them
an insertion IN eur next paper. They
prove that tile heart Of this generous
Frenehman ceased not, even al its last
hour In beat for the holy cause Of LIBERTY.
They contain formal reply to the seauds.
lous faisehoods which the authorities Of
Montreal have presumed 10 publish, whea
from the depth OF his dungeon they knew
IL 10 be impossible for him 10 contradict
them.
A man who knows how 10 suffer and die
as Brig adler Genera Charles HiHdenlang
cannot be suspected ol turning ialDfmrr.
We, who know well the manner oi acting
Of the authorities, hesitate not 10 say
that the deposition published ovef the sig
nature OF Charles Hlnden.aug was a iabrl-
cation oil the magistrates, appointed 10 re-
ceive depos,ions. M Hindenang in his ex.
animation might perhaps in his replies have
detailed some Insignificant facts with which
lie WAS conversant, but wholly Insufficient
ts impieate any one. Besides, the depoai-
ZION attributed to Mr.. Chs. Hindenlanq W al
false as well as incorrect, and 10 such an ex-
tent, that several of his companions pub
Ished in the New York Estaiette a reply
10 many Of its false allegations.
The disgrace Of this lying piece must
therefore fall upon those who caused It's
publication. Hatred is ever nourished by
calumny. The Patriots are never calum-
mated except by Their interiors in every
respect.

The Chief Justice of Lower
Canada, recently honored with
the title of Sir James Stewart.
has been a second time hung in
effigy at Three Rivers, l.. G..
This ebullition of the outraged
feelings of the people however
much to be regretted in this en-
lightened and rejecting age,
may yet find a sufficient apollo
gy in the fact, that it was to
him the population of the dis

memberment, and for the re-
moyal of the Courts of Law,
and other appendages of a
Shire town which, from its orr
ginal settlement had been held
there, where, by its peculiarly
advantageous situation, its pop
ulation and commercial impor-
lance, they ofright belonged, to
Sherbrooke, because it was
surmised that it would increase
the number of sycophants and
parasites of the government,
by pandering to that touch
stone of Yankee toryism-
their cupidity and avarice.
The operation Of that judica-
ture ordinance of Thomson's
Special Council will entirely
ruin Three Rivers and be ser
ious pecuniary loss to It's alrea-
dy impoverished inhabitants,
and if in their justly excited
feelings, they should hang him
instead of his e:fgy, for his
treachery to the Canadian peo-
pie. for having been a notorious
renegade-a corrupt placeman
and for having stabbed so fire.

Those English newspapers,
which were in existence in Can
ada during the reign of terror
in 'S7 and '3S, when the liberal
presses were destroyed by law
less violence, and their Edi-
tors and printers incarcerated,
have got a new reputation
to establish, before it can de-
serve the entire confidence of
the Canadian people of either
British or French origin, at
home, or be entitled to much
weight abroad. Some of these
papers have been the hired and
slavish organs of every admin
istration that has conducted
the affairs of Canada for the
last fifteen years and others,
whose industry in fomenting
the feelings which led to the
late insurrectionary attempt,
is only equalled by the heart
lessness with which they gloat-
ed over the suferings of their
honest and consistent compat-
riots and friends, who, if they
had earned the execration of
the whole world beside, were
at least entitled to silence if
not sympathy from them.
While these papers have been
pretendedly under the control
of independent men, their col
umns have been disgraced by
continued exhibitions of intern
perate violence-by gross per-
sonalities-by the savage de-
nial of any abuse in the gov
CIIllilCllt, at OliC iuOiltlit, oild
the coarse denunciation of the
Colonial authorities in the next,
and to such an extent have
these tergiversations been wit
messed, that all temperate and
rejecting people must feel, that
until it much improyes-until
indeed it throws off the evil re-
putation which it has earned,
it cannot be considered as the
organ of the sentiments of the
population at home, and is
therefore unworthy oftheir con-
fidence or that of strangers. LII
is to be hoped that if some good
newspapers of a calmer tone
and more elevated character do
not spring up, new spirit will

THE POPULAR VOTE OF vIR.
GINA.

The Richmond Wing furnishes the follow.
ing table of the popular vote of Virginia at
the late election. The actual vote is given
in the 70 counties which were contested, aud
the vote of 1897 in the naming. This
shows Wing gain Of nearly 5000, and gives
a decided Wing major ity allowing the uncon-
tested counties to 60 as they did in 1896. 1t
is presumable, however, that there hns been
a corresponding Whig gain in those parts of
the State, and if so, the actual Wing mojor.
ty is much greater than that set down in the
following table. There can be no doubt Of
the correctness Of these figures.
From the Richmond whig.
Whatever may take place nsrf G,H, or next
year. or the year after, we will not undertake
to predict-we leave that to our contemporary
OF the Enquirer, who, finding no comfort in
the present, looks 10 the future for it-but
this we assert in respect to the pns., il the
Presidential election had depended upon The
vote Of Virginia just cast, Harrison would
have obtained that vote by from 800 to d.
600 majority.-We speak by card-we speak
from thorough investigation of the popular
vote just givcn-making the most liberal al
lowance to the administration in the counties
not contested this spring, and Gen. Harrison
would have received the vote of the State by
fifteen hundred majority.
In confirmation of what we say, we sub.
NIT the following statement Of tine vote in the
70 contested counties, and the vote of 1896
in the non. contested counties. From the vote
in the 73 contested counties, it appears tha,
the Wing gain surpasses our most sangune
anticipatlons. In these counties, in 1896, the
Wing majorities were 2,SI3, the Van Buren,
majoritics z 7,l67, giving clear Van Buren,
majority of 4,35l.-.Noc the tables are turn
ed. The Wing majorilies nre 5,627, and the

In the remaining counties, some Wing and
some Federal, there were no contests, ex'
ccpt possibly in "a few, from which returns
have not heen received. We have given the
vote of these as it was in 1896 and in so
doing have been liberal to the Administration,
far beyond their claim. For 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the glorious revolution has
