'In Mr. Buchanan's Letter to the Editor of the Globe, assuring him
publicly that Mr. Buchanan and all his friends, as in the Past, so
in the Future, would be found opponents to the death of Annexation,
and not its friends, as that journal basely insinuated, he states
that he is of no party, though reluctantly compelled to be in
opposition to the present ministry in consequence of their acts,
Executive as well as Legislative; but that he is of a class far
more numerous than the 'thick and thin' adherents of either of the
present _soi-disant_ parties. Those alluded to by Mr. Buchanan will
form a new party--the Party of Order, which will probably be called
the 'Constitutional Party'--its platform being broad enough to hold
all who value and respect the time-honored Constitution, whether
they be original Reformers or Conservatives in name. The new Party
of Order will comprise these elements:
'First. Conservative Liberals, or old Reformers, who have been
taught by experience, and are willing now to adopt the word
'Conservative,' at least in its adjective sense.
'Secondly. Liberal Conservatives, or old Tories, or their
descendants, who have also been taught by experience, and are
willing to adopt the word 'Liberal,' at least in its adjective
sense.
'Thirdly. Conservatives, and Conservative Liberals, who have
unwittingly been mingled up with the incendiary party, composed of
'Clear Grits' and 'Rouges.'
'And that in your discussions on the great question of the
Reciprocity Law, now about to agitate both Canada and the United
States, these pages may be of some service, is the fond hope of
your obedient servant,
'THE EDITOR.'
