THE ELECTION.

tors, and is also viewed with interest by some of our contemporaries in the sister Product-s; among these we notice that the St. John Telegraph of the 28th rust... has an article which shows that lie. is tolcrably well posted up in the political history of some of the public then of this Island, but is not quite correct when he says “ tlic JOURNAL is the Union paper ofSiimmci'side." lii expressing our views on Confederation, and other public qucs‘ tions, we have aimed at giving an impar- tiul and unbiussctl expression of opinion, us we felt it to be our duty to afford irr- formation to our readers which we cori- .‘h‘itlt‘l‘ctl strictly true; and this course it i is our intention to pursue, in speaking of the important issue invoivrd in the ap- l preaching election in this district.

As stated by us iii a former number. this election promises to be a closely cori- testcd one ; but the opinion seems to be daily assuming rm aspect in favor of those who oppose Sectarian Grants, which ,seems to show that Mr. I’upc's opponent, llll consenting to become ti candidate. ex- ercised that cautionso characteristic of Scott-lunch, that new justifies many in ieliciing that when the race is run. he, like the plucky l’aris crew of Saint John, trill be a minute ahead of his op-

.\Ir. Pope come forward merely as n can- tlidatc in the conservative interest, with opinions unchanged on public questions.

When the present Education Act of this Island was placed upon the statute book of this Colony, it wan received with universal satisfaction by all classes and crccds in the Island, turd around it are irotv entwined the warmest sympathies of the great majority of tlic clectors,tunny of whom have received their education tunder the canopy it raised for that pur- pose; and sculi men say, if in minor details the act is iiiiperi'cct, by all means let it be corrcctcd,-—but believing that the principle upon which it stands is sound, the ' trill ridly around it as veterans in the timcof an engagement, do to uphold and defend the horror of their iiag. ' .

It is not. opposition to,or disrespect for, the Catholics, which will iudticc electors thus to act; but because they believe one system of public education should alone be supported by the Government, and that to establish sectarian systems would be as wrong in principle as it

would in the end prove unsatisfactory in results. \\'e understand that the \\'cslc_vnns of this island

are. now making arrangements for the erection ‘of a Seminary in Charlottetown, to be wholly under the control of that body, and that their determination is, trot to ask or accept of a grant front the general Revenue, for its support.
