I'm another open wagon, not stage. My account
of the tourney must necessarily be brief, and is
principally embodied in the word rain thrice re-
peated, with corresponding number OF exelama
zion marks All that could be seen were two um'
lrellas in front and one over our heads. All that
vas felt was the olting Of the wagon and the trek
kns Of water down our legs and backs. All thai
vas heard was the dropping Of the rain, the moan
ing Of the wind through the trees and under oui
umbrellas, and the songs, patriotic and otherwise
with which we tried TO enliven our journey MARI
Tapley would have been delighted with the party
and would have averred that We were really trying
10 be Jolly under rery creditable circumstances.
We ate dinner at Tillsy's Halfway House. snt
supper at waysde inn. didn't even get the nam
Of the place as in common with the rest OF tn
party, was wet, tired and cross. a dismal nd
after supper of five hours brought us to Woodstoc
Ut midnight. Driving to Blanchards Hotel W
found that portion of the party who had preeede
rs in the stage, and arrived an hour or two bcfor
us, the guests Of o number Of prominent citizen
who wore entertaining them at banquet given Q
che hotel, and We were Immediately ushered int
Che haA. The affair was very creditable, and thu
most kindly feelings manifested with q single ex
sepuoA. An Irishinsn, named McShane, and Smpl.
aguest, took exception TO remarks made by nessrs
Alley and Patterson, and 90 far forgot himself as
question and dispute the assertions made by thes
gentlemen. Mr.. Chairman Rice responded Stain
that they did not visit New-Brunswick 20 obtain {
eek for sympathy. They trusted 10 the loyalty {
eur own citizens to establish our rights as Cover
nscnt He spoke Of the kindly feelings which ough
70 exist between the two Governments in q wa
xaged for liberty, and alluded In earnest words :
the unbounded and generous hospitality the part
had met with in their journey through the Province
Dsprecsting the occurrence, he felt satisfied tina
ell present would agree with him that DO Offence
was intended OF really hsd been given.
Mr.. Patterson then arose, and in more than hi
usual eloquent aud impressive manner replied to th'
exceptions taken by Mr.. McShane. He said thai
we came there loyal citizens of the loyal North anC
while they did not wish TO promote discussions the
true hearted people who were our neighbors could
not expect ms 10 be silent We were not neutral OF
The subject of the war, but meant to fight it out ill
The last man fell in tho breach. Mr.. p. then ex
planned the parallel which he had drawn Of sight Of
orr Government to put down this rebellion Just tn,
ZANE "a the British Government had a right and ex
ercised tho night TO put down the Irish rebellion
The earnest remarks of Mr.. Patterson thrlet
through every American heart in the House, and
found an echo in the breasts Of all present save II
the irate McShane and friend. IL was the uuiver
sal opinion of tho Americans present that th,
remarks of Messrs. Rice and Patterson, were fun,
calculated to place the party and particularly ou
cause In q trac, dignifed and decided position
This honest and correct expression In @ foreign
province of opinion which our loyal men willendure
entities both Of these gentlemen to the highest re-
spect and esteem which can be bestowed upon then
