P. for Summerside, at which supper, which was held in a Public House, you stated that David Laird, Editor of the Patriot, and Elder of one of our Presbyterian Churches, and a Son of Temperance, together with Mr Lawson, master of the Nerwal School, and a Good Tetupler, were amongst the guests. Toasts were drank, and spiriuous liquors were used freely on the occasion, Speeches were made, and the usual amount ef Bacchanalian sentiment indulged in, as is customary on such occasious. Now I wish to ask you the simple question, was Mr. David Laird and Mr. Henry Lawsen present at the supper, or not? for very many who have heard the Elder advoeating Teuper- ances and morality in this end of the Island have strong doubte that both Mr. Laird and Mr. Law- | Fou have wore respect for their characters than, jin the Division Room and ‘Temple, to advocate | : Temperance, and above the Bar Room give their | | countenance to the sale aud use of strong drinks | By simp!y answering the above you will coufer | A laver on A SON OF TEMPERANCE, Summerside, Dee 9, lsu.
