Titre :
The Montreal witness
Fortement imprégné de sa mission chrétienne et défenseur du libéralisme économique, The Montreal Witness (1845-1938) est demeuré une entreprise familiale durant toute son existence. [...]
The Montreal Witness: Weekly Review and Family Newspaper voit le jour le 5 janvier 1846 à la suite d'un numéro prospectus paru le 15 décembre 1845. Le Witness, comme on se plaît à le nommer, est l'oeuvre du propriétaire, éditeur et fondateur John Dougall, né en 1808. Écossais d'origine, il émigre au Canada en 1826 et se marie en 1840 avec Élizabeth, fille aînée de la célèbre famille Redpath. Ce mariage lui permet sans doute de s'associer financièrement à cette famille et de tisser des liens avec la haute bourgeoisie anglophone de Montréal.

Le parcours littéraire et journalistique de John Dougall est étroitement lié aux mouvements évangéliques puisqu'il a été membre fondateur de la French Canadian Missionary Society, « organisme opposé aux catholiques et voué à évangéliser et convertir les Canadiens français au protestantisme » (DbC).

La fougue religieuse de l'éditeur a provoqué une réplique de la communauté anglophone catholique. C'est ce qui explique la naissance du journal True Witness and Catholic Chronicle en 1850. Le Witness suscite tellement de réactions que Mgr Ignace Bourget en interdira la lecture aux catholiques en 1875.

The Montreal Witness est demeuré tout au long de son existence une entreprise familiale. John Dougall, propriétaire et éditeur depuis 1845, cède l'entreprise à son fils aîné John Redpath Dougall en 1870 qui, à son tour, passe le flambeau à Frederick E. Dougall en 1934. Ce dernier sera propriétaire et éditeur jusqu'à la disparition du journal en 1938.

The Montreal Witness a connu différentes éditions (hebdomadaire, bihebdomadaire, trihebdomadaire) et plusieurs noms. Outre son appellation initiale, il paraît sous Montreal Weekly Witness: Commercial Review and Family Newspaper, Montreal Weekly Witness, Montreal Weekly Witness and Canadian Homestead, Montreal Witness and Canadian Homestead, Witness and Canadian Homestead ainsi que Witness.

En 1938, à la veille de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, les conditions économiques sont désastreuses et le nombre des abonnements diminue constamment. Malgré de vibrants appels aux lecteurs pour soutenir le journal, celui-ci doit cesser de paraître par manque de financement. Le dernier numéro, paru en mai 1938, comporte de nombreuses lettres d'appui et de remerciements. Ainsi se termine une aventure journalistique qui aura duré 93 années.

Cotemporary Press and News LOUISIANA, \u2018The South is fast degenerating into the condition of Spanish America, where changes of administration are decided by pronunciamentos and revolutions, The rmeutes which overthrow one Government and instute anuther are usually secret and sudden, like those of Arkansas «nd Louixiuna ; but they are seldom so bloody as that of Monday in New Orleans, The Spanish bave moro sense thau tokili each other in order to change administration.They prefer Chinese fashion\u2014to frighten each other away in turn.In Louisiana the white men's faction appear to

and blacks ; Ku-Klux, White Leugues, and all manner of brigandage will prosper ; industry and commerce will lan- guixh; à standing army will have to be maintained in the disturbed districts, andthe Union will ba kept in continual hot water, There is indeed one way of avoiding this, nd saat fn bv Sewve tie tender mercies of the whit , to be excladed from the kicked off the sidevrnika, shot if hey

recornmence the ayitation against injustice and inhumanity \u2018which culminated in the late war of rebellion.There is one other way of making peace and prosperity at the South, namely, the way adopted by King James the Fourth of Scotland, of \u2018whom it is still said in a national proverb that \u201che made the bracken (fern) bush keep the cow.\u201d Thatintosay a cow was safe any- whore in bis reign without any armed protec- tion- a thing altogether unknown before.This he accomplished by what is known as \u201cJeddart justice.\u201d He made a progress through the country withan armed force, and banged every notorious robber and murderer on whom he could lay his hands, leaving them to be tried afterwards at the Jeddart assizes.Of course the progress of civilization would require à somewhnt different course at the Souths, Lut the end to be attained is substantially the same.Every musked or blackened murderer of negroes or their white friends that can be caught and convicted.should be hang- «d with the least possible delay, Nothing less will give peace to the South, and to attain this end the Federal authority would require to interfere with an adcsquate force

SMYTH.Under the Act of last session Major-General Smyth, of the British army, haa boen named to the command of the militia forces in Canada.This, we have no doubt, will be found & most excellent appointment.General Smyth has soem a eal of active service.He wasBri- pade-Major to the forces acting In the Concan and Wawoe country in 1844-5, and waa present at the attack and capture of several atockades, as well as iu a good many other operations of consideralle importance.In 1851.2 he served with distinction in the Kaffir war, and was mentioned in general orders for cool- cen and intrepidity in command of a column in action in the Fish River Dush.In 1852-3 he was with the expedition north of the Orange River, and afterwards acted as Quar.termaster-General of the 2nd Division.From 1851 to 1860 heacted as Deputy Adjutant-Gen- eral and Deputy Quartermaster-General to the Forces in South Africa.While commandi: the forces in the Mauritius, General Sm on two occasions acted as Administrator in the absence of the Governor from the Island.He became Major-General in 1869.From this record it will be seen that the new Commander of our forces is likely to give them an efficiency they havo hitherto not known : and it will alo be evident from this appointment how foolish and unwarrantable are the many chargesbrought against the pre.rent Government, as if its members were an- xioun to break off Canada from Groat Britain and bave her annexed to the States.Instead of seeking to destroy our military organization, the t aim of the present Miristry has boen and to make it as efficient as possible, and in order to this, to have it commanded b: a gentleman of high standing in the Britir Army, whose professional character and ambi.tion will alike prompt him to strain

correspondent of the New York Times at New Orleans says that tbe White League leaders have thus far succeeded beyond their own expectations in keeping the rowdy element In their ranks In check, and

educated, responsible clii- zene, end the otber two thirds of lliterate rouge, boys, and irresponsible men brought in from the country and plentifull supplied with whiskey the task 1s a very difficult one, They have stationed armed patrols in front of the residences of Gov.Kellogg and United States Marshal Packard for the purpose of protection, ne they state, and pot for purposes of intimidation.This may, perheps, be s0.The rogalar police of the chy: having beea annfhilated by the Leagues, some such precaution was necessary.J uesday night the drunken rowdles occupied he steps 01

church, then read the following statement of the circumstances which had led to the services of that day, and to that new departure In the work of the church, of wbich those scrvices constituted the first step :\u2014 \u2018This church is now in the forty-third year of its cx 'stouce.At its organization ft consisted of £ficen members, whose number, by the end of the first year, was increased to thirty-six, The end of the first decade found the number one-hundred and eeventy-five ; at the end of the second the membership stood at two hundred sod seven.The thirty-first year opened with four huodred ard eight names on the roll, and the forty first with four hundred and thisty-siv.Maklog doe allowance for deaths and remo: als, the members recaived into fellowship on profession, or by

not bring a corresponding increase of spiritusl energy to a church ; on the contrary, except in à few and unusual cases, thetendency is in an opposite direction to a direct loss of power.je machine,

fraught with so damage to cliurches of our polity : and hence it has been the decided opinion of not a few of ux, for many years past, that it has heen our duty as à church not simply to establish mission stations in destilute parts of the city, but also to send forih à strong and ly band from our tanks tooccupy new ground fn some of its many populons and growing districts.In 1564, when this building was enlarged to its nt size, this very course was keenly urged by a respectable minority, though without success, and that the matter has been suffered to remain so long in abeyance, shows an apathy on our part,atrik- lug fu its contrast to tho and energy which characterized this church during the Srst twenty- fire years of its history ; however, on account of the large increase of our population, and the rapid growth of the city,the subject has been invested with a greater importance, ari has been forced anew on our attention.Whatever minor and subsidiary considerstions may have contributed tothe invitation of an additional minister toserve us in tte pastorate and ministry of the Word, the predominating cause has been this question of extension and colonization ; had it not ex- inted, no such call would have been sent, and we should not have bad the joy of welcoming Rev.Mr Stevenson to the joint pastorate and ministry of this church.Now that be, with full confidence fn us, las rerporded to our call and has come among us, letus see well toit that we do al that in ua lies, as we have pledged ourselves to do, to make bis ministry a power for rich bless Ing, not only to

Church ; but \u20182 his absence, he cheerfully no.dertook the work and would seize the opportunity to make a few statements from his own point of view In reference to the new refationsbip formed.He welcomed their newly-arrived brother with the cmpbasis of Christian affection, and retumed thanks that be, wife and family, had been so tenderly watched over ip coming to enter upon a new course of toll In the service of the Lord.Christian men were supposed to enter upon Important UE - dertakinge calmiy, witu due forethought, con- clous of the sacreduess of piledges and obliga- ious, and after having sought by prayer guidance more than human, On these priacities they trusted they bad acted in their negotiations with the or elect, and they were sure that he had followed the sawe prudent lue

Christ's service was one of holy dering.Their Christianity was dwarfed if they could not, in divine strength, commit themselves to bold veutures fer very love of Christ, With regard to Mr.Stevenson's acceptance of the call he said: \u2018 You have accepted the call of the Church in good faith.When you received and especially when you deliberately accepted our invitation, you understood ft to mean that this church was Jrepared to stand by you in evil sud good re- Jert, lo epure no pains to make your wninistiry a blessing to enfold your life with itsstronz ind atldo; sympathy, The vigor of our

the verdict of his fellow-worshippers, He might, perhaps, venture to say, without a breach of mn.desty, that whatever intellectual or moral weakness the pastor elect wight (n die time discover In him,
