yesterday. at one Of the largest aid
most respectable meetings ever held at
Sandwich, which was called by the Tories
20 take into conderation the paying Of re-
bellion losses in Lower Cana la, but more
particularly to injure the present Liberal
s.ovcrnor and council. the Tories were
routed, Liberal Chairman and Secretary
appointed, and Liberal measures carried
ny large majoriiies.'
The recent proposition Of the Provin-
cial Ministry 10 pay the alleged losses of
certain parties, purporting to have been
sustained in the rebellion Of 1887, has set
the political cauldron Of our neighbors in
both Provinces, in high state Of agitation,
almost equal 10 the rebellion itself.
Large meetings are being held in all
parts Of Canada. both by the Liberals ~
to sustain the Government, and by the
"I.oyalists' to express Indignation. The
excitement about Whiggery and Locofo-
coisIn gets up pretty high sometimes, Tin
n harmless kind Of way) hut not any
higher than it il between 'Liberalism''
and "Toryism" among our Canadian
Msighbors just at this time.
The Montreal Courier Of the Goth, has
long account of the great demonstration
in that city on the 18th, in reference to
the pending bill approprating a large sum
Of money to indemnify sufferers in the
late rebellion" This meeting was attend
cd by some 1000 people. The language
Of the speakers was denunciatory and vo-
lent in the extreme. The measure al
ludcd to and the responsible ministry were
assailed without stint-and the ground
was boldly taken that resistance to the
measure, NJ all hazards, was the duty OF
all loyal men.
The Montreal Herald goes SO far as to
predict that the monster meeting of the
18th will be "thc day from which, the fu-
turs historian may date the emancipation
of the British Colonists from the IMPOSE
ton Of foreign masters"
For the past year the press and public
men Of Canada have been assuming a
moro bold and Independent tone-even
amounting to defiance Of the Home Gov
crnment. in many instances. The free
dom with which we in this country have
been accustomed to speak Of the acts and
doings Of government, has even been
transcribed, in the strong language used
in the attack upon the measures which
have been brought c!:;:s;v,ara oy the Minis.

be ''remains to be seen" Independence
or annexation to the United States, we
doubt not is the ultimate, and we are in

Capital Punishment.

/ One argument Of the advocates Of the death
penalty, and OH which they lay great stress, is
that any other punishment than death is made
quate as a penalty for the awful crime Of muir
der. Nothing less than this, they contend, is
sufficiently terrible to deter the in
gresson from the commission Of murder The
Editor Of the "Detroit Advertiser" is among this
number. and during the late discussion in Michi
gan growing out of the proposition submitted to
the Legislature to re-enact the death penalty,
which two years ago was repealed, that paper
has taken strong ground in its favor. The pic
ture. however, which he presents in late arti-
Gle, copied below, goes very far towards the
