I will bid my Tory fellow-ehurchmen good evening, and pass on to the Wesleyan denomination. Some of their Tory faction have advised the | Liberal protestants not to register their yotes in my favor, as they say they hear that lam likely to renounce the faith—the

And as, perhaps, sume little occasion may, at times, have, incautiously and inadverteatiy, been given, by some amongst us, to our adversaries to accu-e us of undue excitement, jet me entreat of you, fellow libera!s and fellow electors, to guard against being betrayed, either during the canvassing, or al toe polling, either by the exhilvration of success cn the one hand, or by the provocations of insclence on the other, into any improprieties in word or deed which cou'd afford our op- ponents any grounds for reprehending us. Let us scorn the seeking to secure any advantage by means of threats or violence. Let us be united, resolute, and canstant, and the day will be ours.

The Hon. Cor. Secretary sédressed the meeting twice : first. im- mediately after Mr. Treneman, and again, in answer to Mr, Beer; but, as it has not been found possibile to report either of his speeches at lengib, we must, for the present, confine ourselves to the concluding

assage of his last address, which was nearly as follows :—

The Hon. the Col. Secretary contrasted much that was left undone but which might, and ought. to have been done, by the Old Party when they were in power, with much which has been done, for the general good, by the Liberals, since the government has been in their hands; and in a very allowable self-congratulatory manner, concluded by shewing that, in consequence of his representations, concerning * the cadetships’ grinted to the neighbouring Provinces to our Jute ¢ soOVvernor Sir Alexander Bannerman, and the kindly and generous spirit in Which Sir Alexander acted upon his representations, a Cadetship has also been granted to this Colony, © Much reason indeed,’ said the hon. gentleman, “have the Nova Scotians to be proud of the valiant and heroic deeds of their youthful countrymen Inglis and Williams; but now, when a nitive of Prince Edward Island, the son of a native of the Island, hes obtained so bhoneurable and advantageous a position as that of a‘ adetin the British Navy; —a position which not one of the highest in station or of the wealthiest among us, could, by private ex- ertions have procured for his son; —we may without any extravagance venture to anticipite the day. whey the ship of Admiral Davies, with fis pennant flying, shatl cast anchor in the Three Tides. and the de- inghted netives of Charlottetown and of the adjacent country, throng ing our wharfs and our shores, shall lail the event with the most en- thusiastic ieclamations.”

Joun Riec, Esq.,ethen ascended the platform, and spoke as follows :—

Mr. Chairman, fellow-citizens, and electors —To-night 1 stund befvre you to give expression tv my political principles. Those principles, gentlemen, are in unison with the general policy and principles of the Liberal party of this Island; a party, gentlemen, who have gained for you Universal Suffrage, a System of Education unsurpassed, Free Trade, besides many other pablie benefits with which you are all familiar, too nu- merous in fact forme toenumerate. The time is nigh at hand when the last strong-hold of Toryism will be assaulted, and that sucessfully. We will not only take and garrison the citadel, but we will people the city. I confess the struggle louked desperate at a distance ; but,on a nearer approach, all its terrors vanish ; for, thanks to the party who gained you the present Franchise Act, you now no longer resemble the Helots of Athens, who eould approach the foram, but only to gaze at the election of their law-givers, fur they had no voice in those elections ; you are no longer slaves ; you are freemen ; and you can now approach the hustings with heads erect, and record your votes for the men of your choice. You are no longer mere inhabitants; you are citizens, fully invested with all the rights of citizenship. You are numerically strong: be united and firm: above all be not deceived by the Tories, who have endexvoured to create a schism in your ranks: but in one particular follow their example; for, like the Romans of,old, when the foe is in the field, they cast aside their private feuds. Let no personal enmity distract you. Cherish, shield, protect and hold fast by yoursacred rights. Hearken not to the false promises f your political foes. | heard, in this hall, a few nights ago, a young scion of the Tory aristocracy declare, that he was ip favour of universal suffrage. On the same night an old veteran, their leader. declared that he too was in fayor of universil suffrage ; but the time for its introduction had not arrived ; the people were not sufficiently educated. But he forgot to tell you that he and his party opposed the introdue- tion of the Free Edueation Law. The time had not arrived fur the adoption of that beneficial and liberal measure either ; and had they remained in power, it never would have arrived. They feared to have your children educated; for they well knew that, with the spread of education, ‘* Otlello’s occupa- tion would be gone,’’ that they would no Jonger be your mas-

ters. Their masterdom is at an end: you are no longer their |

slaves. Nothing has been done for the people! exclaim the

Tories. And yet the people's cause is everywhere triumphant. The destruction of every abude and the introduction of useful |

laws undoubtedly bring with them a certainty of the ameliora- tion of the people’s condition. Hitherto you have nolly sus- tained your leaders, and they have as nobly and boldly advo- cated your cause. They have worsted the Obstructives, but not subdued them. Back from their entrenched position they have driven them, step by step. But to the country.alone is glory due. This should not be the case, and I speak confident- Jy when I tell you, it will be so no longer. Electors, be pre-

pared for the coming struggle! Have all your armour in|}

readiness. Be panoplied with a full and determined purpose, with self-possession and prudence. Let no threats deter you. Let not taunts and jeers provoke you. Convinced, as you must be, that your cause is a sacred and a just one, show, in your prosecution of it, that spirit which will at once prove you worthy of success and secure it to you; show that as neither threats nor cajoleries have power to induce you to forego your rights and surrender your freedom, so neither can jeers and scoffs provoke you to violence, or.cause you to forget that re- spect which is due alike to yourselves and to the law. Be

‘courageous, but temperate. Be magnanimous and forbearing,

for in your strength you can well afford to be so. Alove on bteadily, firmly, and calmly. Whilst your voices are many, let your hearts be one, and victory, complete and well-deserved victory, will be yours.

Srernen Swaner, Esq., then stepped upon the platform, ‘aad thus addressed the meeting :— .

Mr. Chairman and gentlemen,—Before I address this meeting on the subjects on which | now purpose to speak, Permit me to thank my friend, Mr. Edward Palmer, for his gentlemanly and kind patronage, extended to me the last time sy many of us met in this Hall ; when my name as that of one fit to represent the Liberal interest of Charlottetown and Royalty, was receiyed with so many hisses, jeers, groans, stamps, and derisive exclamations, from the Tories of Char lottetown. Never mind, Mr. Palmer, better luck this time, I hoye ; but at any rate aceept my thanks. In the speech of the evening to which I refer, which speech Mr. Frederick Brecken is said, by some of the papers, published in Charlotte- town, to have taken fifteen minutes to deliver, he announced it, as his theory, that Tory and Liberal were simply synonymes, convertible terms, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Now, gentlemen, I do not aim at making the speech of the evening, or promise that I will not take more than fifteen minutes, if you receive me favourably, merely hoping to make

one simple, plain speech, in which I will try to prove, to|

demonstration, that a Charlo‘tetown Tory and a Charlottetown Liberal are not alike ; and, if a Tory’s mind be open to con- viction. convince my friend, Mr. Brecken, that his ground is untenable and his theory indefensible in toto. I will take my Tory friends and foes, in Charlottetown, by their churches, and, then, denominationally ; and, as I never heard of any

.

act of the Tory party in the Catholic community, worthy of

?

}any less worthy, of which my and the ‘Tory Wesleyan’s God jean only judge, to act thus, and throw myself into the bosom of that branch of the Church which proudly asserts her | |authority and sole right to apostolic succession and age ; and | were I, at the same time, toadd to the most momentous act 9! a Christian’s life, another infinitessimally small one, and | }abjure my political ereed, and swell the ranks of the Political | Alltance in Charlottetown—but enough for one moment on |myself. Further suppose my worthy colleague and able | fellow-candidate for senatorial honors, should not abjure his religious creed, but simply his political tenets, and join the jenemy’s ranksjand, under the all powerful sanction of the slippery, twisting, wriggling serpent with the 400 vertcbre, jhe and I were proposed by the Tories of Charlottetown, as ltwo worthy Tory candidates for the representation of this City, would we not be fully supported? For myself, I say God forbid! IL have no intention, at present, to leave my beloved Chureh, or lose my election. The report which the Wesleyan Tories spread about the probability of my abjuration of faith, is simply a Tory dodge and Charlottetown lie. hixeuse me, Mr. Chairman, if I make use of plain language. 1, too, was born in an Island far away from this, where my parents and elder brother taught me—ay, and thank God ] have learned the lesson—to call a spade a spade; a rod, a rod; a lie, a lie; anda Tory, a Tory. Suppose not, ye Tory gentlemen, that Iam trying to pick up political capital; that I have gladly labored for a little, this last fortnight, have gained, and invested in a sure and safe bank— the hearts and well wishes, and fixed determination of the staunch Liberal party in Charlottetown Royalty ; fram whence I trust, God willing, at the end of May, to hear declared, in my favor, a dividend, satisfactory and unmistakeable. Ay, sir, and one that shall cause the eyes of the directors of the over-the-street establishment to open wide with wonder, and its Cashier’s mouth to water for a month. One more Tory- Wesleyan specimen of liberality, and with that sect | have done. Their new style of canvassing is worthy of passing notice. I can only term it the Hell-and-Salvation style of going towork. Possibly these awakening, serious days call for earnest solicitation; and so a well known member of the Wesleyan body, canvassing for his Tory candidates, resolved his argument into one terse and Spurgeonic question, ** Will you vote for Heaven or Hell?’ Nota very religious style of canvassing this, methinks, and one that will hardly prove effective in the present case, 1 know. I do not generally use such terms, as Heaven and Hell, lightly ; but beg to inform my Tory friends that they are welcome to vote for Messrs. Rigg and Swabey, and, then, if they must, go to Hell; or not to yote for us, and get to Heaven, by a side wind of their own raising, if they can. The Tories of the Scotch Kirk, I greatly respect, socially, morally and privately; but I have always found them religiously and politically and it is only in the Jast sense that | address them now—so unaceountably impracticable, that [ will remark no further on them. Mr. Chairman, you and I, and—thanks to free edaucation—almost every child in Prince Edward Island, have heard of the downfall and capture of that city Delhi, the stronghold of native Sepoys. God forbid that | should strive to stir up or foment religious animosities! I leave that to the pious pages of the Protector. From my soul would | scorn to compare the mind of a native Sepoy to the soul of one of my brother christians of the Roman Catholic faith. That, [ say, I leave to the pure and pious pages of the puritanical publication, pronounced the Protector and the Christian Ad- jvoeate. Fellow Liberals, our Delhi still remains intact while Charlottetown Toryism rules supreme. Its Cashmere gate is guarded by native Snarlers, combined to a man, strong in their family compactness ; an obstinate troop of fathers, sons, and brothe#s, nephews, sons-in-law, and relatives, with an innumerable host of children, in various parts of their rich and politically false fastness. Methinks, Mr. Chairman, I see*my duty plainly, and wil! try to perform it. The achievement of that noble youth who dared to perform his duty, whose memory is too sweetly remembered by us for me to use his name metaphorically, I will try to imitate. Gentlemen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain aad Ireland, and you, brave fellow workers with us, ye band of trusty, native Liberal gentlemen! my evident mission is to dare to try to fire the train, spring the mine, and blast that Cashmere gate. Yes, ye anti-liberal Tories, allow me time to express my idea once more, for fear you do not understand me. | My glorious emprise is to fire ¢he train, spring my mine, and blast your Cashmere gate. Then, beloved co-patriots and fellow friends of freedom, wielding the sword of constitutional and Responsible Government, following the banner of Britain’s | freedom, waved by the hands of my able and stalwart fellow- champion, drive, once and for ever, from Delhi to Bagdad, every native Snarler you cannot kill; and, in God’s great mercy, may they never eome back. My speech is spoken from jmy head and my heart; and, from my hand, was [ prepared | to speak, had my maiden memory failed me. I retire in favor

of those who may, from experience and practice, address you |

_with more fluency and effect.

The Hon. the Queen’s Printer (Mr. Whelan) was the next | who ascended the platform, and spoke for about half an hour ; | but for the reasons above assigned, we cannot give even the | briefest notice of his speech.

| At an advanced hour in the evening, Mr. Ancup. McNem. }entered the Hall, but was in tune to hear Mr. Beer state that

: the Tory party would return eight representatives for Queen’s |

Connty. He (Mr McNeill) informed the meeting that he was just returned from canvassing the Second District of Queen’s

County ; and, in reply to Mr. Beer, stated that he had, during | the Jast ten days, visited, and attended meetings inthe principal! |

‘sections of that Distrier; and cou!'d tell bm that he was mistaken in his calculations. He (Mr. McNeil!) had, single- handed, driven four nominees of the ‘Tory porty from the field in that District; the fifth was Me. John Longworth, perhaps the best man to be found in their ranks ; but he would not hesitate ito say that Mr. Longworth would also withdraw from the

EXAMINER.

Indeed. large and mixed as the meeting was, we can truly say that th conduct of all was upon the ¥ hole, throughout the evening de. | corous aud highly creditablh ; and afairer or more patient ly iriag,

for any political party, uader auy Circumstances, to extend to an op- ponetit of their poucy and principles. When the business ofthe evening was over, John Treneman. Esq.,

having been called to the chair, W M. Howe, sq rose and proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for his dignified, firm, and impartial conduct iu thé Chair; and whilst on his legs for that purpose, the | learned gentieman took occasion to acknow!edge the honor which had | lately been conferred upor tim, by the Central Liberal Soriety, in | placing his name upon the list of their bxecutive Committee; and, in} Very appropriate language, bricfly declared his adhesion to the policy | ind principles ¢ {the great Liberal Party of P.

-_—_ 1 oc om — MEETING AT NEW WILTSHIRE SETTLEMENT.

A mecting, called by Mr. J. Longworth and@ his friends, was held at

the above place on Wednesday evening last, Jacob Dockendorf, Ezqr., in the chair. The meeting was first addressed by Mr. Longworth, one of the Tory candidates nominated for the 2nd district of Queen’s County He proceeded to show how free Le was from all patronage and influences; but when the electors were told that no less than three brothers of the Longworth family were seeking seats in the next House of Assembly, they thought it looked very much like a desire for the return of the olden times of compactism, : Tiongh this was a Tory meeting, yet a goodly number of the electors supporting liberal principles atteuded; and when a division was taken, the Tory party could (even in their own mecting) boast of but very few of a majority. Mr. Longworth was followed by Mr. Arch. McNeill, the Liberal candidate fer the southern end of the district, who refuted many ef the arguments advanced by Mr. L.; and by familiar comparisons, appealed to the good sense of the electors on behalf of the measures con- denmed by his opponent, Mr. MeNeill’s uncompromising political principles appear tc gain for Lim the respect and support of many who were, at the commencement of his canvass, opposed to him; and it is now admitted on all sides that his election is beyond doubt.

The Colonial Secretary and Wm. McGill, Esqr., also attended the meeting; and when Mr. Coles proceeded to address the electors, so forcible were his appeals to Mr. Lougworth respecting his taking the office of Solicifor General and other matters connected with his political conduct, that he could not stand it, and therefore departed from the meeting, followed by his train of the Alliance Brigade, who have tra- velled the district bn behalf of Mr. Longworth, bat who are so well known as Tory partizans, that the electors will not believe that any good thing can come out of any party to whom those travelling agents belong.-Com.

MEETING AT LOT 11. To rue Eprron or tne Examiner.

My Dear Srr,—On Thursday last [ called a meeting at Lot 11 Mills, for the purpose of choosing a fit and proper person of the Liberal party to represent the Second District of Priace County. The day proving very wet and stormy, ihe meeting was not so well attended as it otherwise would have been. I am happy to say Mr. Robert Gordoy was unanimously chosen; and I have not the least doubt of bis being the successful candidate. Mr. Gordon addressed the meeting, and entered into a full detail of his views, which were in accordance with those of the Liberal party, particu- larly regarding Responsible or Departmental Government. [ also addressed the meeting, and L believe would have polled every one in the Township, with the exception of two.

A meeting was held at the opposite end of the Township, before my arrival on it, which was addressed by Messrs. Reid and Yeo, the latter in his usual happy style; and from what ! could learn. they were both happily laughed at.

The Second District will return one Liberal, the First two.

Six,—I have just been informed of an act of well-timed liberality which, in my opinion, deserves all the publicity the Press can give it. The Hon. T. H. H.viland has instructed his Solicitor to prepare a renunciation of his pension of £200 a year. The amount, therefore, reverts to the people. His reasons are non-political, and such as do credit to our common Christianity. The people of this Colony, says he, having recompensed me beyoud their means during my long tenure of cflive, aud having moreover conferred on me several honors since [ came amongst them the second time, I shall not be outdone in generosity, nor allow myself to be the only public pensioner ou the limited means of this small Colony.

Qik, —I had intended not to notice further any thing that might be \ said or written by “ Big Archy,’ respecting myself; but finding that my silence might be construed into an acknowledgment that what he bas written is truth, I again ask a short space in your columns; and here [ beg to say that it affords me no pleasure to crash a fvlien foe, and that my present object is not to retaliate, as he bas done, at the expense of truth; but to state a few facts, however unpalatable they may be to him. Arcliy’s assertion that he docs not indulge in the very disreputable prac- tise of “ pocketing articles to which he ean lay no claim,” will only be believed by those who are not well acquainted with lim. * * * * * * * Who wasit who entered upon the duties of tte Land Office as deputy, oras he t rms it, “‘understrapper,” and after two or*three months was dismissed, and subsequently summoned before the Ex- ecutive Council, where be “swallowed the leak?’”? What caid the Hon. Mr. Aldvus then? Did he appeal to him then for a certificate of | character? What was the reason that his application for the Georgetown | Collectorship was treated as an insult to the Government, and he did not | find a seconder? I leave the public to guess the proper replies to the foregoing queries. Arcby knows the person referred to; he is much of his srze and complexion. Arehy’s insinuation that I sought the deputy- ship in the Land Office is not only a proof of his propensity for telling untruths, but of his*ingratitude, as Mr. Lord kindly offered me the situ- ation, which 1 declined, and, at Archy’s request, suggested him as a ‘person who would gladly’ uadertuke the duties of the office. That he isa | tried man”? no one doubts; and it isa matter of surprise that he has ‘not rather been “ tried ” at a higher court than the Registry office for leertain deeds done in the body. The accusation respecting my vver- /charges as Deputy Sh riff, is so utterly false, that I need only refer to | those with whom I have done business in that office, and point to the | character of my accuser, to prove it a malicious falsehood. I have, ina ‘former letter, reminded Archy that he had experienced my * forbear- ance ’? in my office as deputy sheriff; and I am sure he cannot reasonably ‘complain of my “extravagant charges,” as he has not yet had the good /manners to pay me one penny. Is he not a modeet man? As for | Mutch’s affidavit, I can only say that a jury of honest men found him | enilty of the offence cha’ ged- against him, and that my evidence was corroborated by Mr. Collins in every material particular. The publio will, no doubt, give it due consideration, and look upon it and its author /anuch in the same light that the jury did Mutch’s evidence, brought for- ward at the time. Avchy says that John A. McDonald, Esqr, wiil by no means corroborate my statement. Why did not Archy produce some- thing from under Mr MeDonald’s hand denying my statement? Simply because Mr McDonald told him, on the Square, in the presence of several gentlemen, that my statement was strictly true. Archy asked him if

THOMAS T. McKEEN & Co. | he could swear to it, and the reply was—“ I can, and will when called

ic May 3, 1858, Ow l'on todo so.” With all these and a host of other crushing facts staring : rast r= : ' him in the face, how dare Archy appeal to such men as the Hons. Messrs. For Sale. Lord and Aldous for a character? and I now challenge him to procure

from the latter gentleman a certificate to the effect that he ever believed him to be au honest man. One-half the facts already stated respecting this peculiar ind:vidual should bury bim so deep, that at the resurrection he will etand a chance to come up on the other side; sud there, for the present, I beg to leave him, and rewain, Youre truly,
