 Oenilemen :— Important changres relatingf (o

 friends that we (should, in a short address, brief 
 
 It is no doubt jfiresh in your recollection that 
 March last) JMr. Sherwood, when he was at that 
 tive interest) confidently stated that the great Cm 
 jTessedtoactiWere thoM whieh mUmated a vmt m 
 of this City. The result of the late municipaKelc 
 assertion, and it has eaused the only opponeift M 
 that he is no long^er a Candidate for your suffjagi 
 making such announcement Her Majesty's Sfolb 
 in this City *^ corrujifioii and intimidation are j 
 declaring^ that such an assertion is at variance y 
 that it is a calumny upon tlie iotegrity and iidej 
 
 Since Mr. Baldwin's retirement, Isaac Bueha

 tions and statements of a most extraordinary 
 selves, if not promptly met, are calculated to^co 
 with a ^^ faction^ which, in his own peculiarii^tr 
 Canada," and further, that we ar^ giving*, or in 
 the Oovernor General. 
 
 That we have ever entertained a sentiment ii 
 racter is such as Mr. Buchanan has descri|i«d, 
 unbecoming opposition to His Excellency the 
 equivocally deny. 
 
 It is difficult to ascertain^ with any degree o 
 ^^ the old official party,'' — ^^ the old Governdeni

 habitants and early settlers of the country, iln c 
 n^cently emigrated to this Province from the B 
 tives and conduct, which are utterly without

 rf Toroiiio. 
 
 relating io th« appreaching eleetion for the reprcsen- 
 taken pla«e, it is dibsirable in the opinion of many of our 
 address, briefly not|be them. 
 
 Ueetion that in his address, under date of the 10th 
 le was at that time the only candidate upon the Conserva- 
 tive ^reat CoiM^fnffoital Primcijpfos iQ>om which hepro' 
 ^ated a vmt mu^ority qf^/ree and ini^mdent EUetwt

 ly opponent Mr. Sherwood then had to announce to you 
 r your aninages. Bat it ia nuub^ «o bo r<c8r««wj, ^^...^ t^ 
 Majesty's %licitor Cieneral should have proclaimed that 
 midatUm ete paramomtt,** for we feel no hesitation in 
 9 at varianee with what we conceive to be the truth ; and 
 i^rity nnd iidependence of the Electors of this City. 
 
 t, Isaae Buchanan Esq. has takea the field, and the ad- 
 iQie attentUn from us, inasmuch as it contains assump- 
 traordinarf character, and which, so tar as reg^ards our- 
 ilcuiated to^convej the impression that, we are connected

 ^ giving*, Or intend to give, an unbecoming opposition to 
 
 1 sentiment in common with a party whose political cha- 
 as descrilb^id, or, that, we are g'iving or intend to give an 
 celleticy the Governor General, we distinctly and un- 
 
 any degree of certainty, what Mr. Buchanan means by 
 I Governiiient Tory party"— and ^^ the old party," but if 
 to refer (Xs is generally supposed) to the native born in- 
 country, ilh contradistinction to those who have more 
 ^e from the British Isles, he has attributed to them mo- 
 srly without foundation. And besides, JUr. Buchanan's
