We promised our readers last week to give
them full report Of the speeches made st
the Alliance picnic at ElBe'hei last Monday
| This pleasure we are compelled to forego at
| this time, for want OF sptee. A condensed re-
port, such as we might get up. would not give
| n satisfactory idea OF the speeches made, or
| do the speakers justice. We will merely say
| that each speaker emphasized the Importance
Of eiucatiog the people up to their duty Of
| opening aud maintaining q system Of schools
where the poorest children can obtain q
practical education, aud thus fit and prepare
| them for the great duties Of life. There was
no war between the farmer and the merchant.
Whatever would benefit the one most neces-
| sarily help the other. There is no standing
ground left for "the third party" (so-callei.)
| The Alliance was only acting in self-defencc
