Sir.-—I bog leave, through your 00l|flIIl18. 30 call attention tea gross breach of the peace. urred on the Market Square. 0 I was engaged in quiet conver- sation with two or three persons, when Mr. 091”, with his usual impuderiee, introduced himself into our company. eyldeullr 70' “*0 purpoee of seeking a quarrel with_ myself. He commenced hie abuse by clisr ing me with Pu ' g a lie in my address, w ereinl stated flnt ugdsr Responsible Government Captain

we recs a seat in both Councils. I moinhlned the truth of the address, stating that althou h Captain Swaboy held a seat in the Legislative ouncil before the introduction of Responsible Government, he was then aeconio- (lated with “ a seat in both," and with an Ollice into the bargain, although he had previously olldegvouredto t a constituency, and had rojsc . . Colee’, who was very violent, and hard up for something‘ to quarre a made allusion to the s wassbct wbonin the act ofkilling a sheep, about twelve months since, by a man in the employ of my Brother. He c agged me with sbootin the dog, which I deni . Mr.Coles re ted hie change in a most abusive manner. I Iii: myself gro insulted, by I believe, the vurriest bully in rince Edward Island—a_lit companion fora Wat Tyler--so I answered him in his own familiar ton uc—-in similar lan- agto.that which, not ve minutes before, e had run use ofto mo; and similar also to that which he mode use of to me on the bust- in , last summer in the resenco of hundreds 0 people. I told him plairily, that he was a . He then made a furious assault on my rson, stricking me two blows on the face, and ickin at me. [believe he knew that it was agains my principle toresent his brutal ss- sault, by comming down to_ his level, _and utrieking him again, so I did not retaliate. Had I been inclined to do so, those piirticulur friends of r. Colee, with whom he isin cori- stant association, and who ure always at Illl heels, on such occasions, would. no doubt soon have had me under their feet. Sir, I think the Cloven-foot is showing itself. The "rod of r'r-on” woul soon brought into exercise could Mr. Colee have his way.

’l‘he paltry circumstance which lie would complain of, is, merely this—the paying either 9d.or ls. Gd. by the overseer, for removingri nuisance. ’l‘he dog had lain by the road side dead, for some days, until it became so cfl'onsivc tliata gentleman who had occasion to as the road every day, made complaint to the verscer. (my Broticr) of the nuisance, desiring him to

t it removed. lie employed a Bo to go a_nd

ury the nuisance out of sight, an paid him for doing so ; when he made his return to Mr. Commissioner Williams, one_ item of expendi- ture char ed therein was paid for removing a nuisance d. or In. 6d. I am not certain which was the amount, that trifling item of expendi- ture,.I believe, was perfectly justifiable, so ends the dog story. _ _ _ _

Mr. Colee would justify Mr. Williams in pocketing from 15 to £120 of IIIOOEIIIJIIO money, which on ht to have been sav . He won d

justify £1 and expended mostly in expensive wines to entertain Mr. Colee’ friends and a few Ameri- can ollicers, when the Governor is in the receipt of £500 Sterling, each year, in addition to his salary, for the express purpose of makiiig him independent of the House of Assembly in such matters. He would justify the paying Mr. Bell £30 out of the treasury I_or surveying fishery reserves when that question is sti Ian 0 n one. He might just as well have id him £30 for trespasing on the shore of the arm rented by me near town,and layin of reserves, driving stakes, &e., which I sheul remove im- rnediatel in the same manner as the owner of the Ian did, where Mr. Ball surveyed. Mr. Colee would justify the yment of £21 for candidates’ clerks, unaut oriscd _by law, and never employed, even if the law did authorise. He would ustify the privately granting to himself and friends, some of the best _watcr lots at Georgetown, at less than one third of their value, in direct violation of the law, and a resolution of the House of Assembl ,.WIIIch stated that the should be sold at n he sale. He would justivv the payment of 1:. out o! the Treasury to u i ova Scotia lawyer for an opinion which he should have paid himself. [had to pay my own lawyer in the same case. Ile would justif the paying Mr. Ball £8.0s. 0. out of the reasury or surveying Government Farm, about one day's work. He would justify the making sineeures, and paying a man—Mr. David Lawson, Collector, at Covehead—£30 for collecting £3, but he would complain of Is. 6d. being expended in removing a nuisance. '.I‘hese amounts, nearly £300, the public have lost within the last year or two, most of them id out of the Treasur unwarrantably, wit out being voted by the I ouse of Assembly, verily, Mr. Colee is one of those who would “strain at a (lust and swallow a Camel.

To conclude, the secret of the matter, and

eat cause of Mr. Colee‘ wrath against me, I glieve to be this: He finds, spite of all the gross lies circulated by him, or his party, about myself, the people are being undeceived, and are again determined to give Mr. an inyse much greater support than they did last

year, so that Mr. Colee is trembling for the

result.

Gnu-r.ssssrr ; IT not without much difidonce that I comply with tho_ Rpquisilion whichl have had the beriour to receive, inviting me to offer mysolfss a Candidate for this District.

A call from such a large number of intelligent and respected locters,snd cornprisingthe names of so many friends whose opinions I highly ssleom. is one which I think I ought lo accede to, and I only regret that my humble abilities to discharge the duties of a Representative of the people are far short of what are to be desired, especially at a crisis like lbs present. when one of the fundamental principles of a System ofGovornmeri1, which. three ours ago, we supposed was guaranteed to us by t e Mother Country, has been openly violated by the act of s partizsii Governor.

Asa native of the Colony, familiar with man , and personally known to most of you,l leave I e estimation of my character entirely with yourselves,

seling conscious, that from w s on re experienced of my conduct in life, you wi I not fear that I would belrsy the trust you propose to confide

It is true, and it may not be out of place here to notice, that in an sddreu to his former Constituents, Mr. George Colee. in allusion to the SbeiilI"s return, which in my late oficisl capacity, I was under the necessity of making to a Writ o loclion, under which he was a Candidate, has designated me as s "Corrupt and psriizsn Shorili';” but as you must all be aware of the facts connected with that Return, and o the malicious motives which sctunto Mr. Colee. as well as that irresistublo propensity for lying which has characterized hirii from the earliest period of his political career, I should hope, that in

our estimation, I sulfur iiolhing by his cslnmny. cu iiiny remember, that in the Session of I847, he was a riieiiibor of the Coruniitleo of the House of ssombl y, sworn to decide impartially on a question ofs contested Election llien decided by the House. and alter having voted in oppositibn to evidence of the linear irrofrugible nlture, he was usk w he could do so, his reply was, that it would never do for bias to veto sguiiisl his srl . Being at present, and having been for many ysslys in ' ' I e ' ' my life, I feel a lively iiiierest in this the principal branch ofour Colonial industry : and alien d Isucceod in my Election you may rest assured that the interest of the Farmer in whatever respect it can be promoted shall _evor be uppermost in the part I shall tales in Legislation.

[have not. Gentlemen, ventured to coins before the public as ri specnlator for any reonnl nggrsn- dizomciit to he obtained by party contests or struggles in political life : I Iiave done so owing solely to the kind and conliding manner in which so iuany ~ofyon have i uestod my humble services; and should your engages accomplish your wishes, you will find that I will independently give my support to every measure which the welfare and prosperity of the Colony and your local interests in particular require at the bands of n Legislator

at the ensuing Election. - During the short time Iliad the honor to re- present you, the House of Assembly and the overnment have had to contend with plots, schemes and conspiracies, to bring about its overthrow. We have be no chance, no fair pluy—having s one-sided partisan Governor,and an obstructive Legislative Council to combat during the whole Session. Responsible Govern- ment no longer exists in Prince Edward Island. The Srst blow was struck by Mr. Colee on its very introduction, by appointin Capt. S be to a seat in the two Councils, without the ne- ccsssry qualification uired by the Re I Instructions, and giving im a lucrative o co after he had sought a constituency, and had been rejected by the People. The second blow was struck by Mr. Co on, in retainin Mr. Jose h Hensley, as Attorney General, an tting him appointed to a seat in the Legislative Council, a r be had ofered himself as a candi the People for their sufli-ages and had also been rejected. The finishing stroke was given to it by the Governor, acting on an assumed prero- gative. and rofusin to be guided by his re- sponsible advisers, preferring the advice of an irres nsible ' tive Council, and dissolv- ing t o llouse o Assembly, in direct opposition to whose counsel—if we had Responsible Government—he was bound to receive; and if the Governor's conduct is to be a precedent for future guidance, we have retro ded at least it century at three strides, an are about to cringe again under the iron bondage of a Royal Prerogative. I think I hear many of you say —-No ! We will not submit to that. Our fore- fathers suflei-cd too much to induce us to coun- tenance despotism. If such are our senti- merits. you can give proof of them y discoun- tenancing the partly who has brought this or nse, turmoil an strife upon you. hey liypocrilically tell you, that you will have the privilege of electing your own oliicers; while, at the some lime, it is notorious, that a rest elfort is being made by lhem. to put nearly all the principal oficcs into the hands of the Legislative Council, who are not responsible to on; three 0 whom. the new family corn act, it is lievcd, hope to divide some £1200 year y among themselves. But, remember, you have no voice in their uppcintment. One member of the late House of Assembly (Mr. Wheliiii), has been encourri in the Legislative Council in their opposition to t eI*Iouse of Assembly; and, strange to any, premises, Ihiit should his party come again into power, he will still further in the country to pay the Legislsliire Council, who do little but obstruct the business of the House of Assembly. Can this be true? say some of on. It is true. and cannot be denied or got over ; for Mr. Wholnn's notice mnv be found, in black and while, in the Order Iiuolr of the House of Assembly—lIiul Ire will, at the nut Seuioii of the House, bring in a Bill to authorize lbs Goosrmnerit to pay the Legislative Couricil. A nice way this to squander your money ! Were the Council abolished, we would save inine £I000 each year by it, or were llie made elective. there would then be some renscnab e ground for their being paid But Mr. Wheliin, no doubt, synipathizeii with those who are seeking to obtain olfice. I find, on examin- in the Public Accounts, as published In the Jour- na of the House of Assembly, for the years I847, I848, I849. and I850, that Mr. Husxnrd received, as Queen's Printer, for the four years. £l483 0s. l0d.; on further examination, I find, that Mr. Wheluri received, as Queen's Printer, for the last two years alone, £1471 l8s !l It is no wonder ihnt Mr. Whe- lan. hoping to gain between Seven and Eight hundred Pounds R enr h ' sho rim and circulnle hun- dreds of ‘etilions all through the country, praying or a Dissolution of the House of Assembly. When is party succeeds in getting ii insjorily ngriin. I sup- poso we shall be ruled, as Mr. Whslsn threatened, at a public meeting in the Temperance Ilsll, " with a rod of iron!” r. as was present at that meeting, and it is well known, that Messrs. Cclos and Whslsn plot and scheme together, whatever they may seem to say to ihe conlrsry. But Gen

To the Electors of Charlottetown and Royalty.

Gnu-rr.nsssr, HIS Excellency the Lieutenant Governor having thought proper to dissolve the House of Assem- bly, you are called upon a third time wilhin less than twelve months to choose persons lo represcnl your inierests in that branch of the Legisliilure. again ofi'er myself as ii candidate for your sutT- rsges, and respectfully request your support. Having been handsomely returned by you at Eight dilferent Elections in succeuion, and my olilical principles iiol having undergone any change, desni it unneces- sary to recall them to your sileniion. I regret that the Bill for the exclusion of salaried eflicers from t e Legislature was rejected by the Legislative Council. Ilsd it become law. it is nol likely lhul you would have been called upc_n, so very

lending Members of the Legislative Council. however, prefer that law or rule which admits of their holding salaried oliices, although wholly irres nsible lo lhe people: they therefore throw out this Bil ;nnd,dreading that it would pass at another Session of the same Ilouse, they addressed the Lieutenant Governor in such terms as to procure a dissolution. and Ihereby lo ntibrd an o porruniiy, during the excitement ofii General Election, for olfice-hunlors to misrepresent the object and ellcct oflhe Bill, and to make the
