of constitution-tinkering, he bas favoured us with sundry long lectures on the iim- propriety of giving governmen offices to members of the Legislature, alleging that those who take such offices must become tools of the Governor, who is, according to him, a tee! to the Colonial Minister. From this allegation we must infer that every Government officer now in the Colony is a tool and nota faithful servant of the people—an inference not very complimentary tothe gentlemen who pay Dunean Maclean for. editing the isiander. {¢-is excessively droil to find Mfactean advocating such a doctrine, and at the sions of a party who wheedled io get Mr
