Is there a per- son in the Island with soul so mean and dead, who, on visiting the sisier Colonies, would not feel the blood rushing to his eyes and the roots of his hair for very shame, when he had to answer in the ne- gative when asked if they had Responsi-

Whelan and Jardine, in conjunction with the min- ority of the late House of Assembly, is the only remedy to overthrow the present system of Ohgarchical Government.— Therefore resolved, that it is the opinion of this meeting that our late Representatives, having throughout proved themselves friends of the people, they ave entitled to, and shall receive the support of this Meet- ing.”

((7" The Gazette and Islander of this week have revived the silly story of An- nexation. If we had morespace than we knew how to 4ill, we would still consider that it would be a waste of time to reply to their dull and tedious arguments on this subject. Their having recourse to it, when all other expedients and cunning devices fail, shews plainly how much they are alarmed lest the approaching Elec- tions should prodnce a result unfavorable to the interests of their masters.

“* nquirer’—In answer to this corres-

ap undoubted fact that His Excellency has threatened to complain of a Gentle- man connected with the Ordnance Depart - ment in this ‘own should he vote against the Government Candidate, Mr. Palmer, at the approaching election. When we consider that the gentleman alluded to holds his office independently of the Lieut. Governor, we cannot but agree with our correspopdent that His Excel- lency’s interference in the matter is almost too grossly tyrannous for belief, even though the officer thus interfered with were properly under his dominiun.

Correspondents, writing on private as wel] as public matters, not requiring im- mediate notice, wil] pardonus if we seem remiss in attending to their favors, while we sre upto our ears in electioneering politics.
