Several of the above Resolutions called forth speech- es from some of the Gentlemen on the platform, but which we have not space to notice. A large number of people then crowded round the Secretary's Table, eager to subscribe their names to the Petition for His Excellency’s continuance in the Government. Persons who had signed the other Petition likewise came for- ward, frankly acknowledging the deception that had been practised upon them by Messrs. Pope’s and Pal- mer’s emissaries, and redeemed at once, in part, their error, by signing the only Petition supported by truth and justice, and so closely identified with their liberty and happiness.

About twilight the meeting began to separate, giving many a significant proof of the pleasure they experi- enced from the opportunity they had of doing “ some service tothe state.” For several moments after the re- tirement of the Chairman, whose zeal and discretion won for him * golden opinions from al} sorts of people,” the brave hearts and the strong voices of the hardy yeo- manry made the welkin ring with their plaudits, in ho- nour of our Queen and her Representative in P. E. Is- land;.and ere the echo of the: joyous sounds had died away, it was caught up by the crews of two vessels ly- ing at anchor in the Bay---sons of the soil, whose bosoms throbbed to the sentiments which animated the meeting ---and the cheers again swelled upon the breeze and mingled with the wild waves’ roar.

Karly in the evening a party of the gentlemen present at the meeting sat down to a well-filled table, provided by the Messrs. Sutherland, that could not fail in tempt-

ing the palate of the veriest epicure. Here the excit- ing topics.of the day were for a while forgotten in “the feast.of reason and the flow of soul ;’? and indeed it was remarked, that some of the gentlemen who had for- isaken the platform for the platter, cut up their mutton as zealously as they cut up their political antagonists ‘an hour before.

| Yesterday’s Mail brought some of the Returns frou ‘the Committee appointed at the Meeting above describ- ed. When we inform our readers that 1100 signatures |form the result of three days’ Jabour, they will agree with us that the men of King’s county are doing their duty nobly, We think it right, however, to urge upon ithe committee the necessity there is for a continuance of exertion, if there be room for exertion, he false tongues of the common enemy da not cease to wag | wherever there is a countryman that may be deceived. Let the committee remember an cld saw, which says, ‘ we ‘may as well burn the candle as burn the inch,’ and take |the lesson it inculeates. Goto every settlement, visit ‘every house, if you have not done so ere this, for there ‘may be still many who have neither the opportunity nor the energy to come to you. So far, your work has not discredited your resolves: you should ascertain speedily whether or not ’tis finished,
