Ten Suffi-ient Reasons Why the Government Should be Sustained.
1. It is admitted by both parties that the preseut Goverument have been eco- nomical.
2. If they are vot sustained there will no inducement to practice economy.
3. The Government have encouraged agriculture as no previous (rovernmet ever did.
4. if they are not sustained, the elvct- ors will show that they do not care to have agriculture encouraged.
5. lt is part of the Governmont Policy to reduce the Legislature.
6. If they are not sustained, taxpayers will show that they are quite willing to bear the preseat unuecessarily large ex- pense of legislation.
7. Itis desirable to prosecute diligently our claim to a share, of the Fishery Award.
8. If the present Government are not sustained, the mea who renounced that claim iu 1873 will get into power; and every chante of obtaining it will be gone forever.
9. It is desirable that there should be no taxes to pay.
10. If the Government tained, the first act of their opponents rmust™be, on their own showing, to re- enact the Assessment Act, which they say should never have been repealed.

MAY 3, i882.
THE CAMPAIGN.
Tue popularity of the Governnent, thronghout the country at large, is assured. What we fear is over-confidence, and, as a conseqnence, ‘‘ the take iteasy”’ kind of work, which may give the Taxationists (who are working desperately) some advan- tages over the taxpayers. The hardihood of some of the Oppositionists is almost past belief; but in the present contest | there is,—
* * * * jn every honest hand a whip, To lash the rascals through the land,
Even from the East to the West.
Let the taxpayers see to it that the whip is used. On Monday morning, let the word go forth—‘* Up, boys, and at them.”
. West River.
Our advices state that the feeling in the West River District is growing stronger ahd stronger in favor of McKay and Shaw. The latter gentleman is proving much too able for Mr. Farquharson.
Cara gan.
We are informed that. ‘‘ prospects are bright for the election of Messrs. Me- Dongall & Owen, who, if returned, will spare no efferts to carry out all necessary improvemenis in their district.”
Murray Harbor.
A cornnxEsPoNDENT at Montague Bridge, writing on the Ist inst., says :—Saturday night’s meeting in the Hall was on thewhole, favorable to the Gov-roment, for, though a number of speakers addressed the meeting on behalf of the Opposition, Mr. Prowse was more than a match for them. One of the Opposition’s speakers remarked, on leaving the hall:-—‘* Not one of the speakers broke down asingle point Mr. Prowse presented” The Holy horror of the Opposition for fear the Sabbath should be desecrated by politics is wonderful in the extreme. But where is this zeal all the reat of the year when liquor is sold without let or hiodrance all day Sanday?

Scandalous Tactics
Tue only principle by which the Patriot seems to be guided is contained in the words ** all’s fair in politics.”
A few days ago it slandered the Educa. tion Department with the view of damag ing the Government; and though compelled tacitly to admit the fact, it has postponed its withdrawal of the slander and itsapology until after the elections.
itis now circulating a false and mali- cious report to the effect that the Hon. Mr. Ferguson is endeavoring ‘* to persuade the electors of Brackley Point and Cove- head to vote for himse!f and Beer.”
The absurdity of this report is easily seen. Mr. Ferguson came into the East River District to prevent the man who gave his casting vote in favor of ‘‘the Assessment Act, 1877,” from again securing a seat in the Legislature; and now Mr. Ferguson is, according to the Putriot, can- vassing for him! Could any report be more unreasonable ?
We have read that ‘‘ slanderous tongue outvenoms all the worms of Nile.” The Patriot's pen does this ; and its editor goes in the face of common sense to do it.
We know of no reason whatever why the electors of Brackley Point should not vote the square ticke-—Frrauson ann Eacan.
Have their private characters been im- pugned? Are they not both honest men?
Will any one dare to say that either of them has not paid, for all he has ever been indebted, one hundred cents in the dollar ?
Is it pretended that they do not know the wants and interests of the district in which they both live?
Is it not conceeded that the Government on behalf of which they are candidates have managed pores affairs economically and prudently
Then why should not Frrevson and Eoay both be returned ?

*In this district there are three candi- dates, on behalf of economy and careful Government. While it is pleasing to see this practical evidenee of the great popular- ity of the present judicious Administra- tion, it, nevertheless, gives an advantage to the Taxationists, which is to be greatly regretted. Itis tobe hoped that the tax payers of this wealthy district will agree among themselves to vote square for the same two Government candidates.
AT THE POLLS.
Tue Polls opeu at half-past eight o'clock on Monday next, and continue open uot later than’seven o’clock in the evevning. Those who do not desire heavy taxation should be at the polls
early. The Taxationists will be there never fear! For direetions as to the places at
which they will vote, electors are re- ferred to the posters which have been put up in the several polling divisions. * For Charlottetown Common and Royalty there are two polling divisions and three polling places in each division, at which electors will vote, according to the initials of their surnames, as follows: EASTERN DIVISION—EAST OF GREAT GEORGE STREET. A to G—toth inclusive—Engine House, near Bank P. B. Island. H to Mac—both inclusive—Engine House, King Sqnare.
N to Z—both inclusive—D. RM. Hooper's. WESTERE DIVISION—-WEST OF GREAT GEORGE STREET.
A to G—both inclusive—at the premises
lately occupied by James Curtis’.
H to Mac—both inelusive—Market House. N to Z—both inclusive—Frederick Curtis’ FRANCHISE VOTERS,
Franchise voters in the country dis- tricts must have resided iu the polling division in which they vote twelve months previous to the date of the writ of election, and have performed their statute labor or paid their commutation movey. Itis to be noted that some of the polling divisions .have been sub-divided into sections, in each of which a poll will be held.
i‘ranchise voters in Charlottetown and Summerside must have had a residenee of twelve months, and have lived in. the polling divisfoo in which ‘they vote at least one mouth, and have peid their poll tax,
SPECIAL VOTE.
For schedules to be filled in by per- sons having special votes, on account of property they own or hold in possession in other districts of the Province, apply to the Prosiding Office:s at the several polling places,
_ > <<< _ Indemnity tor Duties.
Mr. McDonald (King’s), in the House of Commons, 0n the Ist instant, asked when an answer may be expected to the memorial of W. H. Pope, addressed to the Governor Gen- eral, dated January, 1879, asking indemnity for duties paid on fishend fish oil exported from Prince Edward Island to the United States in 1871 and 1872, and also to the letter en the same subject from the members of the House of Commons and Senators represent ing Prince Edward Island bearing date 20th April, and addressed to Sir John A, Maedona'd,

Notes of a Natura.ist.
May Day ! and the most dismal for thirty- five vears. The firm ice in the harbor, and snow-banks six feet deep, are a cheer: less prospect for the opening of what ought to be the flowery month. We have aecu the wood-land paths and the meadows gay with blossoms at this date; but it will be long yet, this season, ere summer dares bring out her floral jewels.
Still there are smiles of the advancing | sexson coming through the gloom, From the silvery lake opened in the harbor, the suppressed ‘‘honk” of the wild go: Se and the bass croak of the brent come floating on the calm air. The sea-gull has come in from the rough sea, where he braved all the winter’s storms; the golden-eye has passed inland with. whistling wing ; and mergansers and pin-tails, and sco‘ters have come to dapple in the shimmering streaks of wave that laugh amid the ice-fetters of winter. The old-fashioned crane, or blue heron, came two weeks ago, as if every thing ought to be ready for him, and blue enough he iooked standing on the snow- covered ice and peering into the suall, circular opening of a spring hole.
On land the blackbird’s flute has sound ed by the frozen mill-stream. Crows are carrying brush for their nests, and the jays are mating. We saw the beautiful golden- winged wood-pecker, with his flaming crest, search the old ram-poles for insects The song sparrow sings to his mate in storm or shine, but poor robin is utterly disconsolate. Scarcely a note comes from him, and all his wits are taxed to obtain a scanty fare{from a few sheltered spots by wood-land or meadow.
How readily the purple-wanded mulen- berge willows respond to the faintest smile of spring! They are now shoving out the silky ferns of their katkins, though stand- ing deep in snow. ‘The male and female flowers are on different plants, so that the flowering has to be over before the leaves come out; and nature gives them ability to bloom thus early. © By and-bye, how their great domes of golden bloom will buz with a thousand insect voices !
The Fox Sparrows (Paeserella ilicia) have been here a fortnight, and still we hear the ring of their peculiar, jerking whistle. These birds are never seen with us except for a week or two at this season of the year, when they are passing from the south to their summer resorts in the far north. They are considerably larger than the Song Sparrow, and stoutly built, of-a red-brown or fox-color above, and light ash speckled with brown on the breast. They are shy and retired, keeping much to the conceal- ment of the deep fir groves.
If you wish to become acquainted with them, you must be prepared to go and look forthem. You hear the broken fife-note come through the sprig air from a distant grove, and you are off to look for the song ster. You enter the bush and proceed cau: tiously, following the lead of the wild whistle. Presently you open on s glade where the full sun is flashing crimson from the polished shafis of the maples, and the soft drapery of the fir hangs rich velvet round the little scene. Here is a whole group of the birds holding a regular con- cert. They shift from tree to tree with toud whirr of wings, and a perfect storm of irregular whistlings makes the wildest musical entertainment you ever listened to.
