thoroughly, however, were both parties con-
vinced that little OF no change Wou1d be
made by the people In their relative strength,
that ian agreement was made by leading
Ministerial members on the one side and
Hon Geo. Brown, of the Toronto Glo5e, the
leader Of the Opposition, aud his friends, on
the other, that Parliament should only be
prorogued and not dissolved; that three
members Of the Opposition-headed By Mi.

that during the adjournment of Parliament
the Government would prepare compro-

1t is needless to add that the Northwest
especially is deeply interested in the progress
and prosperity Of Canada. Through these
territories must be opened mp, If at al, those
