EXAMINER.

oa” A Colonial and United States Mail arrived here on Sa- turday evening from Pictou. The news furnished by the} papers is quite unimportant. The mail previously received gave us some intelligence regarding the progress of the lee. tions in New Brunswick. It appears that these have, in many | cases, resulted adversely to the Government. In the City and | County of St. John the Liberals have secured the election of all their candidates, the late Speaker of the House of Assem-

to congregational property as well as personal. Will Mr. Heard lend five hundred pounds to begin with? Can Mr. Heard show in what respect Mr. Barker has exceeded his instructions ? if be can, let him do it. If not, what will the public think of a man who undertakes to instruct a number of young men in the principles of the Bible, and can violate those principles him- self? Will the youag men themselves believe him to be fol- lowing the precepts of the world’s Redeemer, Do ye even soto them, &c.2? This calammiator also insinuates that the Bible Christians are a Jesuitical sect. If that really be the case, it certainly is to be lamented that they should be deprived of the services of one who appears to be so accomplished in Jesuiti- cal principles as the author of this insinuation. Sir, *tis pass- ing strange, that he should have been so terror-stricken at the thoughts of the whitewash brush being pet in use, and yet take such delight in blackballing, Surely a little of that solution cou'd do him no very great harm, perhaps his friends and ad- mirers might not recognize him at first sight, but the effect might be most salutary, notwihstanding. No one can doubt but his ambition would prompt him to attempt the criticism of Mr. Barker's doings, but that he has already failed, all candid readers of his long rigmarole of absurdities, which ap- peared in the supplement alluded to already, must be convinced. lf he would just make it bis business to criticise,as he says, fairly and openly, or even privately, his own doings during his own eventful career, 1am of opinion that he would find suffi- erent time to leave Mr. Barker and the connection to which he belongs to thernselves.

There are several points to which [ cannot now allude, hav- ing trespassed so much already on your valuable space, but now close my remarks by expressing my conviction that Mr. Heard’s bungling production is a pretty good speculum, and reflects most perfectly the character of the author. As Mr. Heard quoted Solomon, perhaps he will allow me to quote the same author: —

“ A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.” I am, Sir, yours. &c., A LOVER OF JUSTICE. P.S.—I had almost forgotten to state that, though Mr. Barker has been sorely persecuted on account of his speech at the Bible Meeting, yet ne was complimented by more than one of the Ministers who occupied the p¥atform that same evening, on the delivery of the said speech. Yours, &c.

To rue Eprror or THe Examiner. Sic ,—Yours being the only paper open to me free of cost, I

beg the favour of your inserting the following reply to a letier |

signed ** William Heard,’ which appeared in the Is/ander of yesterday. My first thought was (out of pity to Mr. Heard) to take no notice of this wonderful production ; but upon more mature consideration, | deem it advisable fur the sake of the gentiewan’s characte, to say a word or two. Lovers of Truti! read my former reply to Mr. Heard, and then read his letter in the Islander of yesterday. Mr. Heard having (as he says) ob- tained leave, says—“ [ wil! now give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”” He then refers to my remarks in the Morrisonian Chape!, and to an after-breakfast conversation the following morning at Mr. H. R. Narraway’s, the whole of which, with the exception of the allusion to the drinking and smoking propensities of some of the Sons of Temperance, is Mr. Heard’s invention. AFFIDAVIT: ** Charlottetown, May 2, 1857.

“Cephas Barker has personally appeared before me, John Trenawan, one of Her Majesty’s Justices of the Peace for Queen's County, and deposed that Mr. Heard’s report of an address delivered by him, the deponent, in the Morrisonian Chapel, together with the report of an after-breakfast conver- sation at Picton, contained in the Islander of yesterday, is untrue. ** Sworn befure me, Joun Trenaman, J, P.”’

Thus Mr. Hgard’s precise statement is a precise—what? Mr. Heard denies Mr. Boundy’s report ; I presume, from ai] | hear of Mr. Heard’s antecedents, that his denial will be treated as an additional—what ?

in Mr. Heard’s reply to my first letter, he asserted that he had ten or twenty witnesses at command, | asked him to name them. Here they are, or some of them. It will be remembered that Mr. Heard produced two witnesses, Mr. Narraway and Mr. Woodman ; but his witnesses did not support him, on the contrary left him convicted in his own conscience, and in the public eye, a guilty man. We will now proceed with the ex amination of witnesses.

Third witness—Mrs Narraway, who was frequently passing

in and out of the room, distinctiy recollects what Mr. Narra- way, who appeared to take great interest in the conversation, and who Mr. Heard has said expressed his astonishment there- at, did not charge his memory with. Mrs. N. says :—** There was a great deal said about gambling and drinking ;’’ but was it said that such gambling and drinking took place on board the Majestic? If Mrs. Narraway distinctly recollects, she knows it was not. ‘* That the conduct of Mr. Warburton and others on the passage was most disgraceful,’’ such words never fell from my lips. I ask, is it likely that such remarks, if made by me, would have escaped the notice of Mr. Narraway? Do the public know that Mrs. Narraway and Mrs. Heard are very great friends? {Is it any marvel that Mrs. N. should endeavour to wash some of the dirt from Mr. Heard’s character? Though doubtless the words were prepared for her.

Fourth witness—‘‘ A gentlema@p at Pictou, a Magistrate.’’ This gentleman, who had the special advantage of a personal interview with Mr. Heard, and who will doubt Mr. Heard’s effects to refresh this gentleman's memory. But what does this witness say? Does he confirm Mr. Heard’s statement, viz: that in my address cn the Sunday evening, | spoke of

“the wickedness practised on board, particularly in the way of | drinking.’’ Not a word of the sort; but says, ‘* he described |

bis perils on the sea and on the land, in such strong colors that | seems to be commissioned to lead the forlorn hope, in order that,

it struck me at the time, they must have far exceeded those o the Apostle Paul ; and that his perils on the deep were chiefly accasioned by drunkenness.’’ Am I responsible for what struck the gentleman, or am I only responsible for what I said ? Fifth witness—Mr. John Scott, of this city. This witness beard me state at the Baptist Chapel—what ? © That there was a great deal of gambling and drinking on board, and that the

conduct of some of the passengers was most disgraceful?” Swabey having resigned this office on the 17th of last month, Not one word of it. But he did hear me say that those on | the Royal Gazette of Thursday announces the appointment of |

board drank ‘‘ Success to the breeze,’’ true, Mr. Scott, I did | say so. And is it true, Mr. Scott, that certain parties in this’

city have been trying to make you say that “ Barker” said urbane, courteous «nd gentlemanly deportment which always | characterised Colonel Swabey’s conduct in the Land Office,

much more than that. Report says they have.

Sixth witness—Mr. W. C. Trowan’s letter. Now, sir, this | gentlemen, if report be correct, had a poor time of it in the | Grand Division, at their last meeting, where, until half-past | eleven o'clock, they tried to make him say that he said what he. never said, in fact, to bear false witness against himse!f and “ Barker,’ but they failed. Report says that Messrs. Heard and Trowan had a private interview prior to the meeting of the’ Grand Division referred to. Report says more, that they were together till after midnight of Monday last; since that, a let- ter was sent by Mr. Heard to Mr. ‘rowan, andywhat says Mr. Trowan in hisreply? Does he support Mr. Heard’s false | statements? Not one word of it. Lie don’t so much as affirm that the passengers drank “Success to the breeze,” but he says “I understand, &c.” poaweate understanding? or am I only responsible for what

said ?

Seventh and last witness for the “ present *"—T'he Rev. C. I, Burnett, the G. W. P. of this Island. As this gentleman. has not adhered to the truth respecting “ Barker,” { think it. very possible he may have made a mis/ake respecting Mr. Wood- man. But should he be correct—‘* After considerable hesita- tion, Mr, Woodman lifted up his hands, &c.” What does this prove? After the testimony of Mr. Heard’s witnesses, who | does not pity him? I have not sought any editorial assistance, | I rely upon truth ; but if the editer of the Examiner has seen fit to refer to these matters, am [ to blame ?

“ Mr. Barker's attempt to blink the matter, by his endeavour

to tuvulve the Bible Christian denomination with the Wesleyan, |

+." Ihave made no such atteiapt, and would be the last due attention as soon as p

‘this the several unsuspecting families? Jlas Mr. Cross’s fami- _ly never been disturbed by other persons, long before Barker” came too the Island? ~ Perhaps Mr. Heard can answer this query? Will Mr. Heard name the person deputed by me to the | Grand Division? He said I deputed a person. Name him, Mr. Heard.

Gentle reader, [ ask you what thinkest thou of Mr. Heard ? Is he the man to talk about whitewashing another? I have only to add, that | expect for some weeks to come, to be too busy to attené to any of the very pious effusions of Mr. Heard, and shall therefore leave him to his own reflections, sincerely praying that God may grant him repentance unto life.

1 am, yours respectfully,

Charlottetown, May 2, 1857. C. BARKER.

Siuce writing the above, ! have seen the gentleman who preached mn the Morrisonian Chapel at Pictou on the Sabbath evening when Mr. Heard asserts that, in an address delivered by me, I gave a “ long description of the wiekedness” practised on board, especially in the way of * drinking.’? Will the reader believe that Mr. Heard prepared a document, containing his own version of the affair, and did his endeavours to get the said gentleman to sign it? but the gentleman refused to do so, simply because he did not remember that Mr. Barker made any such remarks. Such is the fact, gentle reader. This gentle- man was in the palpit during the delivery of my address, and who so likely as himself to recollect what | said? Will this improve Mr. Heard’s position ? C. BARKER.

Sir,—Will you be kind enough to favor me with a corner for the following note. Yours respectfully, S. Bounpy.

TO MR. WILLIAM HEARD.

Str,—I observe in the Jslander, of yesterday, a letter bearing your name, in which you deny the truth of the statement to which I have made my affidavit, and which statement appeared in the Islander and Examiner, newspapers. Now, Sir, you know, as you must one day appear before that Judge who knoweth the hearts and trieth the reins of the children of men, that that document contains a true report of the statement you made to me in your store on the 14th day of March last. Sir, I sincerely pity you; for, in my opinion, you have placed yourself beneath the contempt of the religious portion of the community. And throughout this Island, and as far as the newspapers extend, a]] unprejudiced persons will look on the | whole affair as a fabrication of your own. [am yours, &c , Charlottetown, May 2, 1857. 8S.

Mr. WuHetay,—

Knowing you are interested in the prosperity of the Island, you-will oblige a reader of your periodical, by giving insertion to the following. ‘The quarterly examination ef the Bonshaw School was held on Thursday, 9th ultimo, in presence of the trustees and several other spectators. ‘Che examination did mach honor both to the teacher and scholars, and was highly satisfactory to all present. The proficiency of the scholars generally since the last examination was evident, and testified to the skill and faithfulness of the teacher and the diligence ofthe scholars. ‘The attainments of the senior scholars were worthy of all praise, and the junior scholars shewed that they were laying a good foundation for the future. As on former occasions, beautiful specimens of penmanship were exhibited. ‘he reading classes generally displayed ability in explaining difficult words, and shewed that they were not merely learning to repeat words, but that they were acquiring valuable stores of useful knowledge; and they encouraged strongly the delightful hope that they have been forming those valuable habits of investigation and discrimination, which would be of the highest value to them through life: and so forming them as that their course of intellectual and moral improvement will not be broken off by their removal from school, but shall go on henceforward with accelerated speed. It is surely gratifying to see respectable schoole in every nook and corner of the Island, which redounds to the credit of those gentlemen who sre at the helm of affairs.

CHARLOTTETOWN, P. E.1., MAY 4, 1857.

Tux editor of the Js/ander —still intent on misleading the public in reference to the Government Accounts — devotes another article in his paper of Friday last to an array of figures as false as any of the statements which he has already made on the same subject. The pressing demands upon our | Space, at the present time, alone preclude our going into de- tail on the Public Accounts; but, fully satisfied that the Islander’s assertions will be received with extreme caution, we have no doubt that our readers will be content to wait for a full explanation s0 soon as space and leisure will enable us to give it. The minority in the Assembly, having been unable | toestablish any charge against the Government in reference to the public expenditure, although repeated efforts were made _by them with that object in view — the editor of the Islander

The Islander some weeks since praised this worthy as being the best statesman in the Provinces, because, in a very foolish speech which he made on giving the casting vote in support of the New Brunswick Government, he propounded the absurd theory advocated by the Islander, regarding the exclusion ef office-holders from the Legislature.

It is now very clear that the people of the Province generally, |”

and his late constituents, thoroughly repudiate his principles. As many of the elections throughout the Province were to be held subsequently to those in the City and County of St. John, there isuo doubt that the country districts will greatly profit by the example set them by the wealthiest and most in- telligent constituencies of the Colony. —_——_—_—_—__+ 236 e+ ; ne ‘ ta We have a rod in pickle for our pious friend, Holy Willie.
