mentioned @ young man who he had known
in the Last who had been married to five
wives, there was great applause from the
ladies, perhaps denotirg their opinion that it
would be as well if there were others like |

ugly dervighes, it might have promoted the
comfort of vie spinsters of the congregation. |
Mr. Gadsby, having thus found his cue, took
care not to lose it. The ladies liked his
talk, and he gave them plenty of it. He
told them how women in the East prayed to
have children, and how thankful they all
ought to be for this blessing. He added,
‘Oh, if I were Chancellor of the Exchequer,

The ladies looked spitefal, and cheered the
lecturer again. To describe the lecture fully
would be impossible. [t was a medley that
few men would have the courage to deliver
in any secular place of public amusement.
One after the other, the ladies were turned
round for inspection, amid the roars of the
audience. One, whose eye only wasexposed,
exemplified the passage, * Thou hast ravished

THE ANTI-ORANGE PETITION.

WE notiee in the Islander of Friday last another
| proof of the fretfuluess and alacua with which the
petition agamet the Orange Bilt is regarded by the
Oxange party. Mr. Secretary Pope, the mouth-
piece of that party, denounces the petition as
“ untrathful,”’ as ** grossly libellous” on the Lieu-
| tepant Governor: and the Bishop of Charlottetown
‘is nut ealy scoffed and. sueered at for having given
| bis approvalot the petition, but his Lordship is held
directly responsible for the libellous and untrathfal
wnatter which, it is said, the document contains.
Now, we dety the whole fraternity of Orangemen
| to prove that there is one antruthtul statement im
the petition, We have given this challeage befure,
—it bas aver bern taken vgr further than by a
mere repetition of the assertion, that the pention.
is untruthful. Between cleven and twelve thou-
sand people have signed it—amongst them are the
| Hames of persons of all denominations distinguished
| for their learning, wealth and high social position ;
and weare glad to say that amongst the Conserva-
tive party not a few were found independent enough
tu show their hatred of Crangeism by aaguing the
petition. It is nut likely that there would be such
an array of signatures to it, if it were such w
document as the Orange Seeretary has describedat.
As regards the remarks upon His Excellency
the Lieutenant Governor, for whose fair fame the
Orange Secretary is very much concerned—al-
though there were times when he was quite an
adept at abusing Governors—we sha!! quote the
few lines which refer to His Excellency, and let
those who may not yet have carefully read the
peution judge whether they are “ grossly libel-
lous” and “ defamatory ot Her Majesty's Repre-
sentative.” In the course of the narrative part of
the petition reference is made to the Proclamation
issued ip 1852, by Sir Alexander Bannerman,
against Orange Lodges and other Secret Societies,
by which the organization of such illegal associa-
tions was discouraged. The petitioners regret
that Sir Alexander's good example was not fok

_luwed by Mr. Dundas, and the words in which

this regret is expressed are as fullow :—

“ Your Memorialists deeply reyret that Your
Majesty's preseut Keprosentative has not followed
the wise example of Sir Alexander Bannerman;
but acting apparently in concert with his ad-
visers, he has permitted the Orange Institution
to take deep root in the land.”

Now, there is pot another word in the document

ou Sunday pray to be delivered from “ all false | which relates to His Excellency Goversor Duu-

doctrine, heresy, and schism,” and on Monday |
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the

point, I conclude at once, by subscribing wyself

hog-like, they are never “at home” except in
some mudhole, and no greater sample of those
“critters” is anywhere to be found than those in
immediate association with that “ delectable
sheet” the Monitor! Hence it is next to useless
to look for anything manly or honorable from
that source; yet, with all their depravity, one

article ftom the Orange organ as that in its last
issue with respect to John Lawson, Esyq., signing
the anti-Orange Petition, more particularly as
this gentleman has ever been too ready te support
the party in power. Now, however, as he has
carried the coat-tails too long fur his own good,
aad they fear he is about te (Q. C.) Quit Connec-
tion with them, they are only tov happy to show

kick him off the sooner. Hard that persons in or
vut of office cannot write their names when and
where they please without having a nest of vipers,
whom they have long cherished, in their bosoms,
turning on the band that has caressed them; but
such is the Tory and the true Orange spirit an
this Island!

Talk about the Reeorder being atraid of losing
his office at the next election. If the truth were
known, the Monitor rats are afraid their nest in
the Corporation, with the crumbs of office they
have so long enjoyed, ate about to vanish as the
rresult of the next civic election, for they know to
their sorrow that a reaction is setting strongly
against “the powers that be,” no greater proof oi
whieb necd be cited than the action of his Honor
the Recorder with respect to the anti-Orange
Petition. The old saying, “ When rogues fall out
honest people will get their riglts,” is about being
verified, SO MOTE IT BE.

passage, says :—‘ But we do object to a Roman
C. Bishop lending his countenanee to the pro-
duction of gross libels upon Her Majesty's
Representative in this Colony.” Alluding to the
same passage in the first part of the article, Mr.
Pope says the Governor is “ grossly libelled” by
it; and in the middle of the article the passage
quoted is denounced as “defamatory of Her
Majesty's Representative.” Where the libel or
