THE GAZETLE’S LAST SNEEZE. Ir js related in the history of the Con- quest of Florida, that whenever the G- zique of Guachoia sneezed al! the indians present immediately bowed low before their prince, venting aspirations that the aun would preserve him, enlighten him, and be always with him. The idolatry of the barbarians who do homage at the Gazelle office is not, perhaps, quite so disgusting as that of the savages of Gua- chioa; but certain it is, that whenever the editor ofthat print sneezes in the editoria! chair, his followers slap their thighs, and look amazingly happy. If they imitated the aforesaid indians, and prayed that the sun, or same other luminary, might enlighten him, their behaviour would be somewhat more to the purpose.

* We are equally as anxious for Re- sponsible Government as we ever were. or as. any man, in Prince Edward Island can be:” So begins the leader in Tues- day's Gazeiie, Ifthe Gazelle was ever anxious for the change, the fact is entire- ly new ‘tous, and toevery one who has read the columns of that paper since first Responsible Government became the question of the day. The Gazette uni- formly supported the views of the majority of the old House of Assembly, by whom that question was virulently opposed—it supported, and still supports, the policy of the Government, which labours now, as it has always laboured, to obstruct the introduction ofthe new system—it has misrepresented. the motives and vilified) the character of the men who commenced whe agitation of the question, and taught an overwhelming majority of the consti-

The “ public” has clearly express- ed its “ opinion” in favour of Responsible Government :—you say yon are in favour of it too, “as much as any man in the Is- land.” Why,then, sigh for a change in ‘‘the public opinion” unless you secretly wish to convert the present majority into a minority ?

There are, of course, honourable excep- tions, but they prove the rule, In the case of the Swedish maiden, calumny has not dared to breathe a syllable, and she has shown that unrivalled excellence in her art is not incompatible with a modesty of bearing that shrinks from ex- travagant praise. Usually speaking, those who have secured the largest

amount of public support are greedy of

“leaders of the present majority” were actuated by “ a childish desire te become prematurely Councillors.” Now, every body knows, that ifthe “leaders” had any such “ desire” they could have grati- fied it when Sir Donald offered to remove Messrs. Brenan, Thornton and Palmer from the Council, and to putthose “ Jea- ders” in their places. Their refusal to be * premature” was, in fact, regarded as their greatest offence.

In the eyes of the Gazette, the entire majority of the House of Assembly are a set of incapables. If they could be got out of the way, and the people be induced to withdraw their confidence from them, then Messrs. Haviland, Palmer and the editor of the Gazette would magnani- rously consent to throw aside their pre- dilections for the present corrupt system, and conduct the Government for ever after onthe Responsible plan! What a glorious time that would be! Were we invested with power, we would decree an ovation in honour of their patriotism.

News by the last English Mail.

has been anxious for the very reverse of what it states—to keep the present sys- tem in operation—to frown, and sneer, and lie Responsible Government out of) fashion. Nor was it unreasonable to ex-| pect opposition from that quarter, No one was foolish enough to believe that, the Government organ would. be anxious for a change that might put its friends and patrons out of office, and transfer the

business affairs worthy of the least notice during tbe past week. The transactions in our produce market have been to a fair extent, and generally speaking prices have been well supported. Little if any change has taken place in the Money market. ‘The harvest on the whole pro- mises well, and commercial matters, tak- ing everything into account are satisfac- tory.

DEPARTURE OF JENNY LIND

which the Gazelle begins its. editorial, is

hypocritical and untrue; but may. be,)

nevertheless, of some importance at the present time; for it warrants the pre- sumption generally entertained, that the

This latter design is plainly perceptible from the language of the Gazette: Affecting to lament that we may “have to wait a few months” before Responsible Government be introduced. it asks—“ But what of that ? it is possible that in the mean time, the public opinion icy undergo some change.” Pray, what
