such by the business, and of outing _for

the crimes reduced by it, e_ of preventing disorder an not caused by i , by far, all the Revenue derived from in the whole

Commonwealth." Now, the shots of the drinking customs, are every where the same. olude, then, that in Prince Edwe Island, as well as in other plleces, when the costs attending the Treflo in toxiuting Liquors are reckoned, end allowance made for these, the Public Treasury is no gainer. When the power , the crime, the breaches of the peace whie it occasions, the Lunatic -Asylum_s, the Jails, the Courts of Justice which are, in consequence necessary, the heavy expenditures which these entail upon the country, _ere con- sidered, where, I would ask, is the gain to the venue.

We ho , however, to make it evident that the Tea in Intoxicetin Liquors, instead of being favorable to the venue, is the very reverse. The richer we are, the more able to cast into the Public Treasury. Whatever im verishes‘us, diminishes our ebilit to con- tri ute to the revenue." The United 'ngdom expands, annually, the enormous sum of 65 in lions on intoxicating I‘ uors. Is not her ability to cast into the public treasury greetl diminished by this heavy outleyl An so it will be with us. '1‘he,more we expend in intoxi- catrin liquors, the less will be our ability to contrR>ute. Let the liquor trefic be suppressed and the country will be better able to cast into

the public treasury: and we feel confident that itw ll cheerfully o so, when it sees such im- ‘ nt reforms.

It may be also objected against a prohibitory law that it would prove ruinous to many, who now have much propert embarked in the liquor train. The loss 0 property to indivi- duals or bodies of men we would regret; but we cannot but regret more that persons should be engaged in a mac no detrimental to the welfare of societ ; end if the qu ' u be, whether a few private fortunes or the public good must be sacrificed, surely, it is not diilioult to 'ust conclusion upon this point, surely indivi ual interests must yield to the

of the communi . Besides, those en- gaged in the li uor tre e have been for some time warned 0 what was approaching. A prohibitory law hes been, for e ength of time, a subject of discussion. Persons concerned ought, therefore, to have re uleted themselves accordingly. Those cage in the manufac- ture end im rtation an sale of intoxicating liquors, oug t to have turned their property into some other channel, to have recourse to ooine other mode of living more congenial to the public good. It cannot be expected that those who persist in the unhallowed trefic, will be the objects of much sympath . the tears of good men will be reserved “ or the matchlees misery of the victims of their unholy trefic, e sorrows of desolate families, the heavy burdens and deep dishonor of the com- munity.’ _

We can conceive no valid objection against the passing of a prohibitary law. The most powerful considerations demand it. Numerous, notorious, widespread, oumuletive evils, are the result of the sale of intoxicating liquors. Why then should not these be prevented by_ legal enactment! Is it not a fiindementel_ principal of society that the libertv of the individual should be curtailed when it would prove detri- mental to the public good! In numerous cases, also, precisely we] ed to the one ye are con- sidering hes it is acted upon : us in su_ pres!- ing gamin houses: lotteries end the li e. If the sale o intoxicating liquprs cannot pro- hibited, then cen no nuisance be legally

prevented.

People of Prince Eward Islend,—let me urge you to give this subject your most solemn end deliberate consideration. Let me entreet you to lay aside every sellish consideration. Let no men say as Cain: em 1 my brothers keeper! Let eac consider himself as the erdisn of his nei hbour. Thus he will exert himself to avert t ose evils, which he may rceive _im- pending over him. But whet one thing brings upon us more heertrending evils then the liquor trailic. Int me therefore urgently call uppn

oti to come forward and demand of the legis- ture the poses of e prohibitory law. In this way you wi confer u it your country a greet and lasting beneilt, e results of which tell on generations to come. We must defer

further remarks for another letter. Piiiaora-rain.

Now Sir, whet I stated in my last, respecting the use uiedo of the weight of His Exoslloncy's name, to obtain signatures, l took from Mr. IcDoasld's own lips, being present when he narrated the circumstances; he is at hand, and, Idouht not, will feel it his duty to state, over his own signature, whet was stated by Mr. Robertson, who, it is very evident from his own sdreissios, did nicks use of Sir Alexander's name, although he would rsdseooer to make it appear not in the eieonsr dsscribod by " Truth."

My political opponents, are endeavouring to make the acceptance of this appointment, appear an act of inconsistency, because I had previouel declared my- selfiii favour of excluding a certain chaos of salaried oiiiceis from seals III the House of Assembly. It must appear to you that my opponents are quile un- warranted in this accusation; First! because it has never been declared by the party to which I belong, that the Attorney (iciiersl and Colonial Secretary, or either of them, should be excluded from the Assembl ;on the con|rary,oeveral of that party consider that these otiicera should form exceptions to the rule. And, secondly, whether these oflicers, or either of them, are to be excluded, I should ho c you scarcely used c told. that it isimpossible or me to act upon ll rule before it is brought into existence, and established an a principle of our Cmstituiion. Oar party will select a fit opportunity and a proper time to do this. We will not submit to be dictated to by our opponents in this respect.

a battle is to be fought, we will not choose the co or the day which the enemy's Generals point out to us forihe engagement. In the meanwhile we are compelled to take the system of Government as it is delivered to us;and when the day arrives that we shall be obli ed to yield it up-be that time near or distant—we ope that by our endeavours its condition, as well as your own, will be ound to be improved.

Sir,——-A vacancy having occurred in the House of Assembly in the representation of Princetowu and Royalty, by the lamented death of our late Member James .\l'Kay, Esquire. We, the undersigned Elec- tors of said Town and Royalty, respectfully request, that you will permit yourself to be put in nomination to supply is said vacancy—as from ilie knowledge we possess of your public and private character, and from the high oliicial position which you so long, and so honorably filled in this Island, we have full confi- dence lliat in the event of your being elected as our Representative, the interests of Princelown and Roy- all would receive our honest support and attention. (llere followeth t s Signatures of Sixty Electors.) To George Ramsay, Es ire, and other Electors

I have had the honor to receive your numercusly signed Requisition, to permit inyselfto be put in Nomi- nation as it Candidiite,to supply the vacancy in the House ofAssembly, occasioned b the lamented death ofyour late Member, James Mc ay, ‘ quire.

'l‘he confidence which you are pleased to express in my integrity, arising from your knowledge of my public and private character, and your approval of my official conduct, would, under any circumstances, be highly appreciated b me; but, at this moment, they are peculiarly grati ying, as affording a satisfac- tory proof that the unscrupulous attein to of my ene- mies, to injure the one, and to impcac the other, on my late retirement from Oflice, have si nally failed.

Until I received your Requisition. I hadno intention again to take a prominent part in the public alfairs of the Island; but, from the ilnttsring manner in which on express a wish to avail yourselves of my services, as one of your Representatives in the House of Assembl , Iwillingly accede to your request, to

o put in omination, as it Candidate at the approach ing Election; and, thou I be returned, my best exertions shall be devoted to the advancement of the general prosperity of the Island, and to the local inte- rests ofl’riocetown and Royalty.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, your friend and fellow Colonist 'I‘. H. IIAVILAND. Charlottetown, Feb. 13, 1854.

To the Electors of Charlottetown and Royalty.

Gr:N1'i.icMi:iv; HAVING accepted of the ofiice of Colonial Se- cretary, in the present Government, my Seat in the House of Assuinbly has consequently become vacant: and I ave again to come before you rise Candidate for your sutfragea at the ensuing Election.

The Majority ofthe present Ilouse of Assembly are opposed to the Representatives of the People holding ollicesi of profit and emolument, connected wiili the Collection or Expenditure ofthe Public Re- venue; and in is, the Government, up to the pre- sent time, have acted as far as circumstances allow. I am, however, of opinion, as I stated on the Hust- ings when I last addressed you, that all Government Otiicsrs of Emolument, with the exception of one Lew Oliiccr of the Crown, and tho P'ro'viucial Secretary, should be excluded from the House of Assembly,and thereby place the Members of that Body above aus- picion, and tend further to purify the Councils of the Country.

The confirmation of the ap oinment I have accept- ed. now rests with you; an should you deem me worthy of your further confidence, you may depend on my using every Constitutional means in in power, in conjunction with the Majority of the I ouse of ssembly, in carrying out the principle ofexcludiiig certain Oflice-holders from having seats in the Legio- luture.
