een Once discussed by them, even when! aa the State of the Colony, though no fess, than five sessions have intervened, in three of which the coalition claims to have had a majority, but the Land Ques- tion has been avoided as if it were a pes- tilence, whether they were in a majority or in @ minority.”

The five Seseions xiluded to must be 1850, 1849, 1848, 1847, 1846. Now look, Journals of House of Assembly, March 4,| 146, p.21. See also Bills passed in 1847 and 1848, as to commutation of land tenure. See the resolutions moved when the House was in Committee on the State, of the Colony in 1850, and then judge of the audacity of the lies put forth in that paper which Mr. Maclean once denomi-| pated “I slander.”

Many other falsehoods it would be easy to bring forward, or rather it would cost only some time and type, but one hired) er disposed to tell falsehoods can multi-|

ply them faster than refutations can be, written? Yet how does itend? As the rogue says in the Vicar of Wakefield, “ | don’t know how it is, but these plain fel.) jows are too many for us at last.” Some-| thing I was going to have added as to. the notorious falsehood published in the. Talander, that the lease you held from me, wes for one year—then again for ten years. It was for more than ten times. ten years; nor was the land swamp land. | But youand Mr. Maclean were as active as any in the commencement of this sys-| tem of newspaper slander, and therefore I don’t grudge your being hit.

THE FAIR, Nr. Waeian—

i have just come from the Fair, and a yretty affair it was. To see some hun- hundreds of drunken, 1\!-behaved black- guards, assembled from al] parts of the country, gloating over and swilling dirty liquor from the rowdy-like tents, and af- terwards galloping through the streets on Jean and pig-like hotses, shouting like so many demons Jet loose from the infer- nal regions. So ends the first scene; the farce commences witha few truckmen after dark scated on their carrion palfrevs, Orsion fashion, shouting through the high- ways and byways, * Who'll swap 7” Mor- pheus drops the curtain, and so ends the; Hair. }

Sir, I would ask would it not be advi- sable to discontinue the holding of Fairs, mn Charlottntown altogether, unless they) are held in check by an efficient consta-|

bulary force. Every rational person will! adinit that such an assemblage of people 3 a nuisance and a disgrace to the coun- try, as wel] asan annoyance to the quietly disposed inhabitants of the town, What! good does it do the country to assemble) a disgraceful rabble under pretence of exhibiting the agricultural products of tne country (Pharoah’s line kine), to gra- tify the wishes of a few hucksters, and enrch thei pockets with a few penes? In fact the peop’e in general are bvegin- ning to look upon Agricultural Socidee and Fairs as mere political baubles or humbugs, and no earthly use as they ave ‘ardneted at present, and should not be tolerated in any civilized country. J whould, perhaps, leave this subj-e: to be discussed by some abler writer, bat feel- iag deeply the immoral and demoralizing sveudency of che late Fa'r, { could not re
