The Montreal W;tness sovs A.

The Montreal Wihaess says the
prevalence of intemperance among
the public men Of Canada has long
been notorious, but from tho disagree
ableness Of exposing mems faults, it
has seldom been noticed in tho press.
At last, however, the country appears
to have walked up to the dreadful
reality, and Upper Canada papers
TEEN with severe criticisms on the
subject. 1t is further charged, that
during the Feninn raid. some Of the
ministers were too drunk at the criti-
cal moment to attend to important
matters connected with the political
defence.

NIissouri-Plnin Talk.

From all Indications, it would ap-
pear that Missouri will become the
theatre OF violence and bloodshed at
the approaching election, which takes
place on tho 10th of November. 1t
is settled, beyond doubt, that the
President has said that the rights OF
all citizens will be protected, and
although the nature of the orders to
Gen. Hancock is, of course, un-
known, the Missouri Republican ex-
presses the most confident belief that
the national troops, if necessary, will
be employed to suppress any disorder
and protect the people in the exercise
of their right of suffrage.
In the meantime, o, aud III the follow
ing most unmistakablc language, it
exhorts the conservatives to prepare
for the worst. 1t says:
''But while conservatives may rest
patient and hopeful on this score,
encouraged by the absolute certainty
that the President of the United
States VIII grant to thera the fullest
extent needed. the irresistible aid Of
the General Government in maintain
ing their rights, let them bear in
mind our words of warming given
yesterday. There is grand conspi-
racy on the part Of the radical faction,
backed up by force, to deprive the
majority of the citizens of Missouri
Of the most sacred rights u freeman
can enjoy. Prepare instantly to
meet force with force. Let there DO
no bullying nor Dragging. The
emergency is too serious for mere
chai1ing and gasconade. Let n calm,
resolute, brave purpose, animate the
conservative Union party to meet the
radical armed rutfians Of Missouri in
just such style as they themselves
shall choose. If with arms, either
individually or i'll companies, then
meet them by arms Flctchers
armed mcbs must be met by compa-
MES of armed citizens, who will rid
the community of their presence.
They have no right to exist an hour
IN Missouri. and may as lawfully be
pursued and hunted down as gangs Of
bushwhackers. Be ready to meet
s,leh banditti, whenever they appear,
at conservative assemblies, or at tic
polls, with weapons fit for service and
III numbers sufficient to defend all
the rights that belong to us. Since
Gov. Fletcher, and Blow and Drake
menace us with organizations, let
us have our organizations without
any delay. Get arms, get powder, get
percussion caps, choose your officers,
and be ready. And then if the radi
calls want war, they can have it,"
This is pretty plain talk; but it
seems to be needed, as the radical
Governor, it is boldly stated, is arm
ing bands of men of his own political
stripe. We hope the conflict may be
averted, and the surest way to accom-
Push this, is 10 be fully prepared for
INC radical destructives.

That the yisest aadsablest men Of

these wicked men are principally di-
rected against the people of the
Southern States, and how they are
to protect themselves against these
assaults and their fearful conse-
quences, is question that is entitled
to their serious consideration.
The New York World, in noticing
the endorsement of the Presidents
policy by the father of Gen. Grant,
commends the steady adherence of
the General to the President to the
notice of the blood-thirsty radicals,
who are breathing out threatenings
and slaughter, and talk glibly of
new civil war. It advises them, if
they are determined to provoke a
bloody contest, they ought to weigh
some of the obstacles which lie in the
way "s~ .t .-'--t
And herein lies the hope of the
country for its salvation. President
johnson will remain the Commander
in-Chief Of the army and navy; he is
made $50 by the Constitution, and no
lawof Congress can divest him of
the office Besides this fact, Gen.
Grant and, we believe, every General

tinguised himself for bravery and
generalship in the late war, are in
favor of the restorative policy of their

the World tells the radicals, every

Under command OF officers of known

like manner, be committed to faith
fnl men. Every army officer who
faltered, could be relieved from duty;
every one who was unfaithful, could
be. court martialed and cashiered for
disobedience.
Such is the position the radicals
would find themselves in, and al
though they passed resolution distri-
buting Government arms throughout
the Northern States, and withholding
their quota from the Southern States,
it will avail them but little; for the
officers and soldiers of the Union;
