TORONTO, Monday, Nov. l., 1851
The writs for some of the elections have
reached the Sherifs, who are er-otfcao Returning
Officers The want Of controlling spirit - APP
parent in the divisions of both the polite Al parties
Indeed there is no effective party organization IN
Ipper Canada, except among the Roman Cathollc
electors who everywhere insist on separate schools
for the children of that communion, al the puollc
cost and refuse TO vote for any candidate VINO VIII
not pledge himself TO advocate them views. In
MANY instances the Reform candidates have gwen
way on this point for, IN several constituencies
the Roman Catholic electors are snmclentiy hu-
merous TO hold the balance of power between
these two parties and as their rule IS, under the
direction OF Bishop CharbOnnel, always to make
their politics subseTvient to their reHglon, tney
stand ready TO cast their vote for mat Candidate DE-
long 10 what party he may who Is mos, wiling 10
claim for them all they want as Catholics In sew
eral instances the Catholic Institute OF this Cy mas
sent special emssaries to oppose Parliamentary
candidates who are known 10 entertain, or who have
expressed views inimical 10 the claims OF that de-
noInin alton. The election Of some of the nc" MIN
s,eTs is vet doubtful. In Oxford three Reform cam
didates have risen up 10 oppose Mr.. Hlnchs
# thew all run the result will be the return OF Mr..
VansIitart, the Tory candidate \ poNt cal party
was surely never guilty OF such folly before. Ihe
great issue between the two political parties IN p
Der Canada is the secularzation OF the clergy Re
serves The new Ministry are pledged 20 make this
a Cabinet question yet there are many VINO, re-
eardpg the settlement OF this question as the great
est political necessity, yet who feel themselves JUS
tilted In defeating the election OF MEMBER OF that
Cabinet while they profess 10 have the greatest con-
fdence IN some of his colleagues
II 1t Is the business OF the Government writers
of uominally Republican France TO write down
AmerlcaIisIn it Is no less the practice OF certain
parties here to attempt the same thing FOrlnstance,
our High Church Journals hold you TO be nothing Dut
nation of rebels and they predict WIN great sat
isfactOn, that your wickedness as people for the
popular disobedienCe of l776 10 the mother country
viii yet meet with signal punishment Every i1-
mutt al a popular election Is SCI down 10 tne W.
lainy of the ballotbox, and paraded as an nustrh-
ton of the unspeakahe evils OF universal suffrage
as If Canadian elections, with very restricted
suffrage, and the open system OF voimg Rad mol
often been waved by the bludgeon and carried
by fraud ulent votes The truth Is, that great por-
ton of the first session Of every new Parliament is
consumed IN dispatches about contested elections.
The same thing has Just occurred IN Nova SCOTIA.
Al the last election III Upper Canada, IN one county
-Wateroo- every man that could De i0und, was
brought up To vote and the candidate who was re-
turFed by large majority, was unSeatei ai,eT
Parliamentary investigation had discovered the
facts. Those among MS who lose no opportunity
Of attempting 20 bImg INTO clscredn American
institutions VINO are eloquent on the alleged
evils OF Universal Suffrage; who acSno Wedge
no rights but those which according 10 their theory,
property coniCTS who trace al political corruption
10 the existence of too much liberty and who con-
fdently predict the downfall OF the North American
Republic seek 10 add force to their arguments ana
probability 10 their assumptions by asserting broadly
=
and POSITIVELY that IN the United states, All the bet
ter classes are ut eTly disgusted vh Repuohcanisn
