The death Of David Thompson, Esq, mem.
Der of the present Legislature Of Canada, and
man of great wealth, has left vacancy ia the
representation of the County of Haldmand, on
Lake Erie and the Grand River The election is
looked forward to with unusual interest because
it will afford an indication OF public sentiment
and show the feeling OF the people toward the
Baldwin. l. aiontaine Administration. The known
ceno;dsteH are Mr. Jacob Turner, miller and bu-
sipess man in Seneca Ranald Mackinnon, owner
of mills for lumber and trading establishment
in Caledonia; and William Lyon Mackenzie,
with whose name yourreaders are familiar The
frat is for the Government-the second says he
il a liberal.conservatve-the third goes for more
thorough reforms than the Administration are
prepared for. and Mr. George Brown, editor Of the
Toronto Globe, is up in Hsldimand stumpng it
for the party in power, against Mackenzie, and
will be a candidate if the prospects OF success
vvnrrant his Offering Mackenzie has held meet
ings at Dunnsvie, Rsiuham Cenboro and Cay
uga and at the last place all the candidates spoke
Possibly Mr.. E. De ecu, the County Warden,
be a ultn CanOluhLts anu ShtlCs DoNlbOu Il
Toronto lawyer, is said to be sixth tie failed
before, ss did Mackinnon.
Although Mr.. Thompson has not been more than
a fortnight dead, the excitement is already very
strong. The result can only be told alter the
voting. All the other Candidates are decidedly
opposed to Mackenzie. Brown is denounclng hlm
because of the affairs OF 81, and his opposition TO
the Administration since his return to Canada
and should he, though nonresident, who was
never in the county before for three days in his
life, succeed in being elected, 1t will be sign
that the people want to so faster than their pres
ent executive agents.
There is a great zeal doing in the lumber trade
getting out timber, saw logs, &c.-on tho Mag.
ara frontier. By the time you take oil your 20
per cent tax, think there will be none lett TO
export At present, a part goes TO Quebec, and
q part TO your States. Your refusal to alO Cana
dian produce TO come into your ports on the terms
on which Britain admits your produce, operates
very iniurousy against our farmers; and your
laws which will not permit Canadian boat 70
pass upon your canals, while we freely ailo" your
vessels to engross the lumber trade OF the OEra-
wa, and TO sail through the Weand, and navi.
gate the st. Lawrence Canals, seem unfair and
arbitrary, but you know best.
