recoect, was one of our lobbiers ios recpnop
lately at Washington. has published bpg les,
on the subject OF his late resignation Of oHce A, !,
Minister of the Crown. TIE espisile s sptefu
and damaging, showing that in spite Of fair PIE
sel sons Of continued friendship with which n,
Cameron started, after leaving the Ministry, TIA,
he hates his late colleagues quite as heartily 81
they have shown that they bate him. The who
gi.t of the letter is that he was 10 favor Of ;,
trencbment and the Addition OF religious encos
ments in Upper Canada, while his colleagues weaI
determined neither to re,rench expenses nor G,
dowmenis. | understand that in private tall
Cameron declares thst It was only by the resSs
ton manifested by himself aud The present ch.o
cellor Blake, that Lord Elgin aud his entire Mn
s,ry, were prevented irom boiling from Montres
during the troubles. Toere Is only slight hint ID
this ia the letter but t Will probably come out al
debate. Like all such quarrels. It shows wha,
small men are chosen for popular idols and bow
supremely selfish is Your race of patriots serving
their country for twice Us much as theyc can earn q
