For tue ExaMtner.

We. the unlersigned resident householders and voters in the Settlements of Montague and Newtown, Lots 57 and 58,

do certify, that b-fore the sisning of the LB ifast address we!

were given ‘o ude.s'and that it was only a cowmplimniary one to Vol. G-ay for bong the occasion of extending the Land Purchase Act, so as to enable the Goverament to purchax this Estate from the Earl of Se: kirk; aud with that exception alone, we repudiate every word of it (the said addres-}, as we well know that the Land Purchase Act was passed by the late Liberal Government, under which Act the present Government purchased this Estate; and we a’so know well that its passage throu th the Legislature was opposed at the time by all the Tories aud Proprietary party in both Hou-es. And we are well aware that all the good mecsures through which the Island was, or is benefitted, was passed by Mr Coles and his Government when in power—such as the Free Education Act, the Land Purchase Act, and the Loan Bull, which would also have been sanctioned by the Imperial Go- vernment only for the opposition and interference of the present party in power on this Island; through which the whole tenantry of tae Island, bad it become law, would be placed in the same position as we are in now. An wo hold it to be highly presumptuous for any of us om this Estate t dictate to the tenaniry what course they should alopt or pursue relating to the Land Commission, or whether they should pay rent or not, as they are entitled to be bette: judges of their own afiirs than weare. And we also further state that the printed copy of the address referred to above was not a true copy of the written ove, as the one that Join Murphy carried about for signatures had the objectionable parts deface! or blotte 1 out, aud the improvements or alter- ations ivterlined; but it seems that there were different copies of it abroad at the same time, and that they al! ditfered accoid ing to the difference of opinion or the tastes of the inhabitants of the different settlements. And we further state, that for the purpose of shewio, our gratitude to the Hon. Col. Gray, we made the signatures as Uumerous as possible to the above referred to address.

The Lieutenant having been advised that a force of 2500 troops were ordered by the Guvernor to take possession of Harper’s Ferry, and finding his position untenable, under the direction of the War Department, he destroyed all the mu- nitions of war, the armory, arsenal! and buildings.

The Wonder of the Age!

Manny's Patent MOWING and REAPING Machine.

NE acre of Hay or Grain cut on rough or smooth land

in an hour, for less than one shilling cost, with the assistance of

four or five joined in the purchase of one of those ever renowned labour- saving Manny’s Patent Mowing and Reaping Machine combined.

Now on Exhibition and Sale, with Witcomb’s Patent Horse Hay Reke, and Brown’s Patent Horse Pitch Fork, at Orwell Cheap Store—cheaper than the cheapest Country Store on the Isiand, and with the greatest variety, from a Needle to an Anchor.

Three Gold, Six Silver Prize Medals, and $100 cas’) have been award. ed at the Cr 8 al Palace and State Fares of America, where Manny's Machine has been fully tested with several other Machines, and proved to be the best, safest, most durable and cheapest Machine of the bind ever offered to the public, for saving time, labor and expense to the Fuirmers, by which tive weeks labor and cost can be saved over the old fashion mode of harvesting with hook and scythe, which will pay a fitth share of the entire Machine in one season. It can now be got if four or five in a Settlement join tegether, and for which time will be given for payment by the Subseriber, for all those ordered by the 20th of May, so as to have them ready in time for harvest, to enable the Farmers to ship their produce in good weather, and a month sooner, and not fear having too much grain ripe at once, when one of these money saving machines can be had on suck favourable terms and easy payment, at Orwell Cheap Store. ;

This is an opportunity that cannot be got every day, to clear and make large farms, and have a month’s work done by lads 16 or 18 years old, in one week. This iscomirg up to Telegraph operation, entutil eae the Farmers independent, and look out for better times and more produce.

These wonderful Machines are invaluable to Ship-builders and Sea- Captains, Mechanics, Teachers, Widows, and all those wiose time is more valuable at other callings, and will be set up by the maker. A trial given of them, and warranted fully perfect, or taken back.

Aanexed are a few testimonials from some of var mest extensive Island Farmers, that can be depended on, and who are willing to give satisfao- tory reference, if called on.
