= Our Party.''--Opposition 20 Mr. PEN.
Our people were startled on Friday morn
ing, the s7sh, by an nfmfesing handbill head
ed" Our Parity" freely circulated, calling
for meeting Of all those opposed to the
" Holden -Brownlow Radical programme
and to the 9 PelI- Woodsrdn [woodell,] or
ganization, with an earnest appeal to 9 club
together and do something for the country.
This call does ottoueh us. forthe 9 Holden
Browniow" progra'nmsis is myth and be-
sides. we have called no meeting. It is,
therefore, simply sign of serious, disaffsc-
tion in the : Pell- Woodsrdr ranksa What
the public.spirited gentlemen who compose
this new Organization will do to preventthe
spread of the principles of Our Party"
remains to be seen. > Trotting round our
beautiful little City, to get more names to
call for g Pell Woodardn meeting, will not
suffice. The originators of q Our Party"
are known as men of brains, gristle and
pluck. They represent I" the full corn in the
ear" Their motto is, g No nu11ins;" and as
I" friends to themselyes"- "-as supporters Off
their (" wives and children, present and pros
pective. they propose to .lift the pressure
and raise the vail aad strike hdilly for, the
(" recuperltion of their own depleted pock-
cts" This is q cry that may well alarm the
I" Pcll- Woodarxw Organization We expect
to he obliged tn announcc, in the course of
few days, that nearly every ..inauential"
sisner of the /" PelI- Wnodarsl" call has aban-
doned that movement, AMI jnined sour,
Party There has been much complaint
already, as We learn among the Pell- Wood
ardites, that their leader has not been suffi-
ciently explicit in stating the object of his
meeting, to wit B" the rccupcration of de-
pleted pockets" We may look, therefore,
for large accessions at once to /" Our Party"
Which holds out this Object in clear and un-
mistakable terms. k5 !.
We shall watch this new movement
with some interest. We may not en-, orse it,
but We are free to say we prefer it to the
"Pell-Woodard" movement. .,s <.
But for the fact that we are somewhat ex-
perienced as a Politician We might be can-
fused by the cries and watcll-words of these
various parties. We think, however. that
we can see our way clearly through the mist
that surrounds us. We repeat, our sympa-
thies are with the I" No aubbins'' organiza-
ton We can not endorse its platform, but
in the language of another, ]" consequentially,
in the matter of that" we are e deturmedr'
to do Justice to any body Of our fellow-citi-
zens who are bold enough to g club togeth-
err for the "recuperstion of their own de-
pleted pockets" isas
