'To the leaders of the forthcoming Party of Order, I dedicate these
pages, because I feel that the province is at the winning or the
losing, and that we shall hereafter have to hail you as the honored
instruments of our Political and Industrial salvation.

'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

the 'Constitutional Party'--its platform being broad enough to hold
all who value and respect the time-honored Constitution, whether

'First. Conservative Liberals, or old Reformers, who have been

'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

'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,
