allege. we understand, for putting off the ceetion
‘is a desire te ascertain what decision the Colonial
Minister will give on the Award Bills. That is
all humbug. The Colonial Minister and the Pro-
priecters have already given their decision in
very numistakeable terme o: the whole exbject of
the Award. That measure is permanently shelved.

‘oath Inatter—if they thought, for one moment,
that the Bill were likely te reecive a favourable
consideration xt the Colonial Office, it was very
easy for the Geverner to have written to the
Duke of Newcastle. urging His Grace to dispose
| of the Bills, in one way or other, without delay.
It is about four months since they were passed ;
and we are sure that if the Gevernment had any
desire to get the final answer of the Colonial
Office in regard to them, that desire might have
, boen gratified long ago. The real object of the
| delay, however, is Gait which is’ elated by our

The Government may put in practice all their
scheming tricks, and foster as many bad secret
societies as they please—and let sectarian pre-
judice be aroused in their behalf wherever ig-
norance prevailsa—none of these thmgs will save
them from politica! destruction at the polls. They

ble—and every day the election is postponed only
tends to make it the more certain and everwhelm-
ing. It is not, therefore, with any feeling of
dissatisfaction we witness the delay of the Govers-
in proclaiming an election ; for that delay is proof

foreshadows the greater confusion that awaita

them,

THE RIFLE SHOOTING.

The holiday Rifle shooting for the Silver Prize
Cup, purchased with the funds of the Colony, to-
gether with some small money prizes, raised by
private subseription—begins to-day. The place
selected is a very pretty spot adjoining Belvidere,
on the lower Royalty Road. A few of the Nova
Scotia Volunteers came over tu the Island by the
last Steamer; and the Adjutant General and
some of the New Brunswick Volunteers also
arrived in the Steamer yesterday morning. We

_common sense believes that if they were, Mr.| shall be glad te hear that our Island boys honorably

| “Islander” says, was intended to favour the
Proprietors. Every one knows that the most

landholders and the Liberals; and because the
former are almost universally detested, the
“Islander” hopes te make the latter unpopular

nection between them. The hope is a forlorn ove,
and clearly shews that the Government party are
in a desperate strait when they resort to sach an
untruth.

As regards the enquiry, in all its modifications,
which seems to trouble the souls of the Tories so
much—“ What is the platform of the Liberals?
What do they propose to do for the country—for
the Tenantry ?” we want to know what right the
oflice-holders have to catechise us upon that or
any other subject?’ Who gave them a commis-
sion to establish a Court of Enquiry with regard
to our political intentions? We don’t held our-
selves amenable to a Goverment, or to the paltry

acquit themselves; and without selfishly wishing
to take all the prizes, we hope they will succeed
in keeping at least the Govermment Prize and Mrs.
Pollard’s handsome cup amongst themselves.
While we have these good wishes for the Island
Volunteers, we are very far from thinking that
either the public money, or their ewn money and
their own time, are judiciously employed in thit_
shooting business. It must be a serious dra

to many of the young men engaged in it, whose
private means do not enable them to live a life of
idleness or leisure, and whose avocations must .
be neglected, to the injury of themselves as well
as to that of others, to say nothing of the expense
mary of them incur in coming to and staying about
Charlottetown. However, they may say it is
none of our business how they spend their time
and money. That may be the case. But it is out
right to object to the waste of the public money,
which, for a week to come, will be blazed away

on a painted board. We suppose there will be @—
good deal ot twaddle heard during this military
week in praise of the virtue of i
