The Other Side.

OIL late we have heard vast quantity Of talk
about the revolt in Canada on account Of the pay
ment OF the Rebellion Losses, measure originst-
ing with the former Tory Governments and now OPP
posed by its leaders simply as the best vehicle for
the discharge Of the hatred they bear the present,
incumbents in power and the shortes, way Of get
ting them out. All our papers have had their
speculations on the subject characterized by vari-
Gus degrees of ignorance and intelligence, and
affording corres spending amusement or edihcation
TO the impartial on the other side of the line. The
Washington Union especially has INDUCED in re-
marks which occasion a large amount OF fan in the
Provinces and convey queer idea to the Cana
dams Of the understanding which anlmates the
organ of the late Administration at Washington.
As vet, however, the Juror which has been des-
cribed as prevailing in Canada has produced moth
ing more tangible than little foam and buster,
and the expectations which have been raised by
it in some quarters are in all probability not des
tined to immediate fuliIlment. There seem to be
there as well as elsewhere two sides to story
and more parties than one on important public
questions. For instance. at a full meeting OF the
inhabitants of Zone township, Kent Co c. w
after a warm discussion Of the subject the fol.
lowing resolutions together with others OF less
Importance were unanimously adopted
R.ored Ths. the political opponents Of the present
Administration have resored to the vlesi misrepre-
.entaons the subject OF the Lower Canada Rebel
lion Losses occssoned by the unhappy events OF 1879
RssOloed That a Government In which were mum
bered men capable Of originating and carrying into
law measure for the pay ment Of the Rebellion Losses
Of Upper Canada that should now violently oppose and
seek 10 proven. by the most actous organzaon ever
resorted by any party similar measure lot losses
occasioned at the same time and by the same events
among our Lower Canadian brethren, merely because
they now find themselves out OF place, and out OF the
confidence of the people, IL alike base and reprenehs
BILE aud proves such men 10 be unworthy oil the conn
dence and SURFACES Of any free and intelligent consutu
ency in United Canada
R,.or,d That il IL the conviction Of this meeting tina,
the Lever Canadian Rebellion losses should not only
have formed subject ofinquiry under Legislative au
thorty by the Government of the day but should have
bee paid the time, and from the same source
that the losses of Upper Canada were paid from,
namely the Consolidated Revenue Fund OF the entire
Province fund In which the Lower Canadians have
an equal reh, with us and msy justly complain of that
Government who would attempt 10 ALLEVIATE any portion
Of that fund for sectional and party purposes
Resolued That this meeting views with regret aud as
touishment attempt (on the part OF the opponent
of the present Government especially as they csim 70
have al the loyalty their sde) 10 create eaiouse'
and sediton, anarchy and confusion 10 tns ANA, -
rou.e heart burnings and bitter feelings which have
for time been allowed TO sleep, and which they fond
y hoped would have been lost In oblivion and gladly
would they take each section OF tina provinces, and
Joining their hands In ami,y, say to them, love 81
brethren"
Resolrsd That II is the conviction OF this meeting
the present Government of Canada has done more
for the lasting and substantial good Of the country dur
ina the last two months, than has been done for th'
past twenty years. With Lord Elgin and bis Prescn
advisers they confidently hspe aud verify believe that
they shall see established In this country true British
