the did net deny it like Parker and then that she had another one still-born, upon which there was held an inquest, as was customary then. But that she tried to make way with it was the vilest and mean- est slander, and he was prepared to say sucil a charge was never in existence, but at the age of seventeen she had been seduced. This has been, so is now, and will be for all time to come, and her seducer is a villian. But this did not hinder her telling the truth; neither was it the fault of the Osbornes that such was the casc. Dr. Tuck may say the same has been told of Annie Parker that was told of Buchanan+-that she had a child

~-but that is not all. Buchanan had her children by the same man and did not deny it. Then she occupied « position of charity. This is the sin laid to her charge. But here 1s Parker who charges her man, and the magistrate refuses to take her oath ; not only this, but she denies the deed, and on oath too. She has the face to solemnly deny her own father. He would call their attention to the candor and precision with which she (Buchanan) had given her statement. Referring to her evidence about going in the bar-room with

the little boy, it reminded him very much of the atheist arguing against the Bible. He remeinbered reading the healing of the blind man by our blessed Saviour One of the gospels said there was one blind man— the other said two ; and the atheist argued that it was a lie on account of the evangel- ists not agreeing. But if there were two he could say one and tell the truth. Now this is the very argument against Agnes _Bue- hanan, and he would venture to say if the Evangelist could stand it surely she could, But it might be said, Why not apply the same rule to Parker? but ah, there 1s a wide difference, as he had already shown, having contrasted the two witnesses, the one not striving to keep her history from be- fore the world, while the other is imposing on the public hy wholesale.

—— is safe to say, made little or no impression

{y was rumored in Summerside yesterday that the Local Government is in the throes of dissolution. The trath of the rumor is not yet confirmed. There are, however, two special, among many other, Conservative reasons why it should be true.

1, It has completely lost the confidence of the Province.

2. The Grit wing of the Local Govern- ment is using all its influence in support of the Grit Candidates for the Dominion House of Commons—to the disgust of their colleagues.

“ Audacious Lying,”

Tue Patriot charges us with ‘ audacious lying” in our report of the meeting in the Drill Shed. We leave this matter in the hands of the electors present. Even if we were incorrect in saying that ‘‘ everyone was in good humor, except Mr. L. H. and the Chairman,” it would, after all, be only a matter of opinion, and nobody but the Putriot editor would have thought of characterising itas an ‘ audacious lie.”’ We admit we were a little astray, for the snappish editor, himself, was evidently in very bad humor over the whole affair ; but, as it is nothing unusual for him to be out of temper, when he finds public opinion against him, we did not think it worth while referring to him. The eflrontery of the Patriot, in this matter, is simply un- para'elled. He says Cartwright was receiv- edinthe Drill Shed by a “ perfect ova- tion.” The truth is, the ‘ mixer muddler,” as well as the Premier, entered the Drill Shed amidst the most profound silence,

which was not even broken by the clap of a

solitary hand; and when the Finance Minis-

ter commenced his speech, the attempt

to raise a cheer by the officials

was not responded to by one hundred out of the two thousand electors present. The Patriot says that at the slose of the meeting three cheers were given for Sinclair and McGill and three for McKenzie and Cart- This statement, as far as Sinclair

A sppciaL TRAIN left Charlottetown at 12 o'clock yesterday. Besides the Ministers, there were on board, among others, the Hon. L. H. Davies, Local Premier ; the Hon. W. D. Stewart, Commissioner of Public Works ; the Hon, John Robertson, M. E. C.: Peter Sinclair, Esq., M. ge Hon. A. B. McKenzie, M. L. C.; Donald Farquharson, Esq., M. P. P.; Messrs.

brydges, MeKeel nie, Cunningham, Stronach, Brown, and many other gentle- men oceupying public situations.

THEIR ARRIVAL.

After a pleasant passage--and a substan- tial lunch on the way—the Ministers arriv- ed at Summerside. There they were met by the Hon. Alexander Laird, M.L.C.; Angus MeMillan, M. P. P.; R. T. Holman, Esq. ,and an assemblage of two or three hundred per- sons. A cheer for them was proposed; but from such a crowd the response was about the weakest that can possibly be imagined. They were conducted to Mr. MecMillan’s carriage, and in company with Hon. L. H. Davies (Local Premier) were driven through the streets of the town—-to the music of the Summerside Brass Band. The Band, we may remark, was formed only last spring. Sut under the teaching of Mr. Stramberg its progress has been rapid ; and its per- formance on the occasion was excellent. Water and Central streets were decorated with bunting. Altogether, the reception was very creditable to Messrs. Holman and McMillan, who, we are informed, made all the arrangements. It was in pleasing con- trast with the naked, bare, inhospitable ve- ception the Ministers received from their friends in this city.

“(THE MBETING.” About four o’clock the mecting was opened in Ludlow Hall. There were pres- ent a fine assemblage of the yeomanry of Prince County, though the Hall was at no time full. It is needless to say that the Patriot’s estimate of ‘fa thousand” is largely inaeenrvate. After the presentation by Mr. Holman of addresses to the Ministers, MR. MACKENZIE He was not in such good

the close, by people

f pungent and witty remarks. His speech, it

upon the audience—except in one particular. He showed, both at Summerside and Char- lottetown, that no duties which could be applied would atfect the prices of flour or grains to the Canadian consumer. All such aduty conld do, he said, is to shut out Yankee flour or grains, and perhaps ruin some millers in Ontario who draw upon the Yankees for their supplies. While he was aying that he wanted Canada to be ‘“‘a cheap country to live in,” the sharp High- lander, alluded to, interjected “cheap for the rich.” ‘The appositeness of this remark ex- cited laughter and cheers, and somewhat disconcerted the Premier. Mr. Cartwright spoke with much more vigor and eloquence than he did in Charlottetown. But his speech had just about the same eftect. He commenced by adverting to the ‘ignorance of the people” about the country they live in; and in reply to one of the sallies of our witty friend, said he feared he was ‘*cast- ing his pearls before a certain kind of animal.” From the fact that large numbers had just before gone out, he left the audience somewhat in doubt as to the application of the courtly adage. He exerted himself to answer a question pro- pounded to the Premier by Mr. Stavert. He said the ‘‘ hard times” of Canada are due to the extravagance of Sir John’s Goy-

ernment, to over importations and other causes. When he sat down there was a general call for Pope; but Mr. Gaffney came forward and moved a vote of thanks to the Ministers. The motion was declared carried. Then a cheer was proposed, to which about one in ten of the audience re- sponded. Then Sir John McDonald was loudly cheered ; then the meeting broke up, and then the Ministers took passage on board the steamer for St. John.

Tue Osrorne Terrar.—Mr. Palmer con cluded his address on Monday evening, having spoken for a day and a half. Dr. Tuek will not probably oceupy so much time and the case will likely be left to the jury to-day.

‘*GovERNMENT BY THE Prorie.”—This is not now permitted by the Grits. Mr, L. H. Davies manages political meetings in the same way that he runs the Local Goy- ernment. The people are disregarded, The Grit leaders decide who shall and who shall not address them on political qiestions. This is Grit practice.

Tue dispatches announce the serious ill- ness of Mr. B. Devlin, M. P. for Montreal Centre. It is unlikely that he will continue the contest with Mr. M. P. Ryan, the Op- position candidate. At the best, Mr. Dev- lin was running as an Independent candi- date, not daring to come out as a straight Government candidate.

Tue great ‘Mixer and Muddler” said at Summerside that he was only joking when he said that the Highlanders were ‘“ her- editary thieves.” If so, we fear that he is not likely to be any greater success as a wit than as a financier. {fn the future we ad- vise him to adopt A. Ward’s plan. When he gets off a witticisin let him add : ‘* This is intended for a goak.”

That person’s language towards Senator Haythorne was,we learn, such as no gentle- ; man would think of using towards anyone. Addressed to a gentlemen of Mr. Hay- thorne’s age and position by a young and vigorous man, it was simply cowardly and brutal.”
