VVIi^it is the true answer to these inuiortant i(ups- tions and why the silence of ihcso gentle- men? We are left to form our own opin- inions. There is no doubt that Mr. Hogg found it r. uch easier to shout bar room and hnrri'is than to prove any t)f his Provincial Pn iniei) .'stnteineots, hence his silence. So let us roAsoii to'.;ellipr.

Sirâ€" The commodity jou call truth is as defective as a greMl many other thiniis yiiu oiler to the public. The en- mity which you Btem to engender proves more fully tho inaster wliich ^ou serve. I never 8igne<l the anti-{>etiiion or instructed scybody else to sign for nu-.and I defy you or anyoua else to piove to the conlraiy. Father will not deign to reply to such decfptivo stuff as jou utter. Vou say you will fight to a tiiiish. Now, Brownri.lge, you can have tho battle as long and as loud as you I'ke. You seem to hide behind the noblu temperance caiiM! to bide your defects to the public, lilt I think ii will avail you very little. If y' II were to stay at homo Binl niii d youi own buniness 1 think you would have all you could attend to without sticking your noso into other pe- pie's affairs. In regiid to British fair play I will "ive yi u all the fair play you call for. You say faiher is unnmnly, uiitiuilifnl and unieliable which you think proves your nianlinca.s, truthfulness and relis- bility. You Fay your reply is based on facts. Facta aro stubborn things and you have mot one ju.it now ; you misrep- resented your moments, for silence is golden. As for tho Holy Writ, if you know no nnrj about that than yuu do aUiut truth you are to bo pitied. Yuu say father gave reasons for not signing the petition which he doesn't havo to dony more than once to ctmvince the public, the saino in regard to his buys. I am one of the hoys referred to anc. I say your Htalements prove to the public that you are a prevaricator and I am ready to defend this in Kiiy couit. Now, Arthur, come on with your weapons of war and 1 will tiy and a^eomodate you.
