A very malicious and disgraceful attack was made in the

Sheriff of this County, on the ground of his having sustained

josses iy his business transactions, which rendered it necessary

PUBLIC MEETING AT LOT 65.

A meeting of the electors of Lots 65 and 32 was held at J. 1]. Moore’s, West River, on Thursday evening last.

he at once began to praise Bishop McKachern and all Catholic subjects, especially those with whom he fought side by side on the battie field, Marvellous simplicity !

Mr. Wm. Welsh then rose and confuted many popular errors, to which the people have partially lent an ear. Whilst he was speaking on these subjects, a scape-grace, usually known by his paltroonery, came forward and rallied forth his usual buffoonery, endeavouring with all his feeble might to bamboozle the people by lampoonery, dogmatic and ground- less assertions. However, Mr. Welsh soon muzzled him. The best part of his arguments were—* You’r a d—d liar,” &e. You know what an assertion is, Mr. Editor, without proof, and how far it goes. Several other persons would have spoken had time permitted. The meeting was decidedly Liberal, for when those who were for Mr. Davies went out- side (this being the only method that could be adopted to ascertain correctly), there were not more than a half-dozen remaining. Three cheers were then given for Mr. Davies, | who heartily thanked them for their unflinching conduct and kindness,

PUBLIC MEETING AT MONAGHAN SETTLEVENT.

A Pablie Meeting was held at Owen Simpson's, Monaghan Settlement,

Lot 36, on Monday last, for the purpose of giving the Colonial Secretary |

an,oppergunity of addressing the electors of that park of his District, under the New Election Law. He was aceompanied by the Hon. Col. Treasurer, and there met the Hon. Robert Mooney, one of the former Representatives. Mr. James Hughes having been called to the chair,

Mr. Coles addressed the mecting, which numbered some hundreds, and |

fally explained the principles which have actuated the Liberal Govera- ment for the Jast four years. He also explained the views of the Liberal Society in reference to the opposition of Francis McQuaid, Esq., te the Hon. Robert Mooney, and informed Mr. McQuaid that the Society thought that to ensure the return of two Liberals for the District, he

asa Lileral, whom they all respected fir his determined and unwaver- |

ing support to the Liberal cause for many years, would witudraw. Mr.

Coles was then nominated, and the question being put, the meeting wis |

With one exception—Mr. Joba Roach Bourke—unanimous for the Col. Secretary. Mr. McQuaid was the next who addressed the meeting, and declared he would not withdraw in favour of Mr. Mooney, but would use every means to keep him out of the louse. The electors being in favor of union, if possibie, heard with great alarm Mr. McQuaid’s de- terinination, when Mr. Mooney came forward and went into a lengthy explanation of lis past political conduct, and said it was private spleen that actuated Mr. McQuaid, and declared his determination also to stand the contest. A proposition was then made by Mr. MeD.naid to nomi- nate another person, and all Liberals to anite and return him with the Colonial Seeretary. The person proposed was Francis Kelly, Eeq. Mr. Kelly said he did not wish to interfere with either Mr, Mooney or Mr. McQuaid, if they would agree for one to withdraw, but would Leave it to the people, and if they were determined to support bim he would faithfully serve them. In answer to the Colonial Secretary, as to his

PUBLIC MEETING AT ROLLO BAY.

On Wednesday last the Electors of Kollo-Bay and vie'nity assembled | whatever (just like the Tories used to do), while they were}

&t Rollo Bay seliool-bhouse, for the purpose of coming to an understanding

respecting the best course to be pursued for securing the election of two |

Liberal candidates for the District at the ensuing General Election, having previously invited a few persons from other parts of the District to attend. At about half past seven o’clock it was observed that there Was a considerable number of persons present, so it was thought proper to form a regular meeting. This having been agreed to, Lawrence

Peters, Esq., was appointed chairman. When the preliminaries of |

cpening the meeting were ended, a warm and somewhat lengthy

discussion took place between some advocates of the Liberal cause and |

others who were opposed to it. It was obvious that the former had the

best side of the argument, having retuted many of the statements of the |

latter respecting the administration of the present Government. The principal speakers were John MeIntosh, Esq , Danie! Fiynn, Esq., Mr. Konald Campbell, Mr. Michael MeWade and Mr. Gabriel MeDonald— the latter two in opposition to the present Government. Mr. Gabriel MeDonald then moved that John Knigbt, Esq., be nominated a candi- date for this District. Mr. Ronald Campbell moved as an amendment

that Daniel Flynn, Esq., be nominated in his stead, and said, that as

at any public »,

hie fn-achiae eeting, he considered that it would not be proper to put

Savutel Me tion at this meeting. He said, however, that he was in Ths tation onda being one of the Representatives of the District. Denia. Be , te amendment were seconded, the former by John Me-

ald, Esq-, and the latter by Mr. John McKinnon. Mr. Gabriel

MeDonald was end ; Met ‘ “avouting to quash the amendment, or to have his notion first submitte . 4 :

ine ” : he ¢ > : ? iusisted that the amendment should take precedence. The amendment

_ re submitted, and was unanimously agreed to. ‘To satisfy r. MeDonald, the Chairman then submitted his motion tothe Meeting Which was also unanimously adopted. Mr. Flynn then rose and after thanking the Meeting for nominating him, requested an explanation of the following circumstance: Mr. Knight bad been proposed by Mr. Gabrisl MeDonaid and seconded by John McDonald, Esq :—the latter is known to be a supporter of the present Government and the former is known to be in direct Opposition to it, how was it then that those two persons could coincide with each other in proposing and Seconding the nomination of the one person as a Representative of the District? He said their conduct was a mystery to him, and that they Could not, with any propriety, have acted so, unless one of them bad Jielded to the other. He said that he was, nevertheless, favourable to Mr. Knight's nomination, that he was satisfied he would prove worthy of the trust intended to be reposed in him, and that he would willing!

Support him. Mr. Gabriel McDonald then rose, apparently for the |

purpose of explaining gwhat appeared so mysterious to Me. Flynn, but

— spoke of some ill-treatment which he received in some part of the i

implicate Mr. Flynn, who interrupted him, and denied having any knowledge of what the ill-treatment was, or of the cause of it; that if € did receive any ill-treatment, very likely it wasin return for some of ‘8 own bad ac ions. After a short interval, Mr Flynn again addressed be meeting, and after a second tine thanking the meeting for Rominating biia, said that he was not ambitious of legislative honours;

When the Colonel summed up the public accounts, and showed the actual debt of the Colony, £20,000, which he believed to be far greater, but he would leave it at | that, he was interrupted by an old and intelligent man, who could uot command himself whilst listening to such false and |unfounded s‘atements, by saying, ‘ Have they nothing to meet (it. The Colonel making no reply, the old gentleman left the house, declaring that be had never heard such a daring

He did not tell them that when the Liberals came into office the actual debt was £28,000, with not a rap, no ‘not a single bawbee to bring aguinst that tremendous sum. / But this is not the ease now. When the land that remains ‘unsold, &e., is brought against that sum, there will not be £9,000 of an actual debt. Really it was aluiost intolerable.
