We regret to observe that the disingenuousness of the Examiner becomes every day more marked; that the manner on which he discusses the topics of the day becomes still more unscrupulous and unfair than ever. In replying yesterday, to our remarks of the 28th ultimo, our contemporary copies the following extract from the Globe:— “We were told last week that a “clear grit administration” was at hand,… Read more “Misrepresentations of the Examiner,” The Globe (4 April 1850) →
Document Information Date: 1850-03-28 By: The Globe Citation: “Toryism in Desperation,” The Globe (28 March 1850). Other formats: TORYISM IN DESPERATION. It is curious to notice how uniformly the political circles of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick are agitated by the same topics at the same time, and how certainly like causes produce like effects in all three Colonies. Responsible Government was at one time the subject of strife in all three; then came its nominal acknowledgment in all three; then the same sweeping Reform majorities, and the full… Read more “Toryism in Desperation,” The Globe (28 March 1850) →

The Examiner of yesterday contains a long reply to our remarks on the platform of the new republican party. It was to have been expected that the dire indignation of the Calebite organ would be drawn down on us with fresh fury, and we are not, therefore, surprised that our arguments are replied to with abusive personalities. The public are assured that the Editor of the Globe is “the… Read more “The Calebite Platform,” The Globe (28 March 1850) →

The election in Halton terminated in the return of Mr. Hopkins with a majority of 57. Almost all the causes which have contributed to this unexpected result are of such a character as ought to make the winning party ashamed of their success. Unscrupulous conduct may always be expected in elections for members of Parliament, for on such occasions it seems to… Read more “The Late Halton Election,” The Globe (19 March 1850) →
