Montreal Strange as it may sound, he owes his re
turn TO the Tories who chiefly consist of the
Tile class of Montreal; and this in spite of the cir
sumstance that that party had candidate OF then
own views in the field. Ever since the Reds ap
reared as distinct party, 1t has been Inc p01cy o.
the Tories of Montreal to encourage and sustain them
a. means Of opposition to the Government party
The most probable motive for pursuing this anoina
lous course is that the Tories have ceased
TO hope for success as a party, on thelT
own maxins of policy, their obsolete principles
and traditions inappcable to the present state of
eiety and opinion. If they play the Republican game,
il is not because they Republicans from principle

ferent stamp, and pursue different pclcy; ihey
lack the indescrbabe bitterness Of their Montreal
allies; and their policy is TO stand alone rather than
"a assist marty with whom they do not hold single

..Reds' uniting upon candidates in Quebec, each ran

poll far below those of the Government party.
How large a number Of the Lower Canada Repre-
sentatyes will support the seculaTzatiOn of the Cer

NORM Provincial Seer etary, who went into the Gov

avowed his secularzatiOn views In the most decided
manner n his address to the electors whose sufrages
he soup bt at the election Just closed; and from some
cause or other he suffered defeat by large majority
Whether his defeat owing to his secularizatloI
sentiments is a speculative point. Ii is certain thai
there never has been any powerful public opinion in
favor of secularZatiOn in Lower Canada aud whether
the views ayowed BY Mr. NORM were unpopular III
the particular constituency to which he appealed as 70
cause his defeat is open question Mr. M0rlnls the

all his colleagues committed to his policy on this
question if they do not as openly av0w It, While
Mr.. Morins address was before the public, three OF
his colleagues were elected by reclamation for Lower
Canada Constituencies circumstance which does
not argue hostility to the Government policy on this
question in the constituencies to which they appealed
OF course there will be differences of opinion and ac-
ton on this question among the Lower Canada repre-
senatives; but there is reason to conclude there
will be sufficient hostility to the to cause its
defeat. At public dinner recently given at London,
