Twere were several points in the speech

of Mr. Fred Peters, Q. C., delivered yes- terday, op the address, with which all reasonable men will agree.

Another point upon which we are agreement with Mr. Peters refers to bis Mr. Peters says to object, excep,

It was not, at - all events, nec~ essary for Mr. Peters to come four thousand miles across the continent,

and to accomplish a scandalous breach of the epirit of the Fourth Commandment, as well as of the law of the Jand, toteach the gentlemen of the Opposition this simple | lesson in patriotism.
