said, ever stand forth in defence of the prerogatives of che Crown, and he would uphold the rights and privi- leges of the People ; but he would not pledge himself| to any line of political action should he be again return- | ed a member to the Assembly. He declared that, as a Land Agent, he had ever been kind and indulgent to the Tenantry upon the property under his management; and said that al) the Tenants upon that property were at perfect liberty to vote as they pleased, uninfluenced by him. He had never retaliated upon any of them for baving Opposed him asa Candidate for a seat in the Assembly ; and he never would.

We deem it altogether unnecessary to reply to any part of Mr. Douse’s speech, which might be supposed @ eal! fora reply, censuring as it did the conduct of the majority of the Asseaibly; but . the speech being evidently culled from the editorials of the Islander, and therefore void of an original accusation, we cannot ap- propriate our space to ‘the discussion of topics which ere worn thread-bare.

Mr. Arncussatp McNemx, of Vernon River, ad- draaaed the Electars twice;—on! proceeding with the eecond speech, Mr. Douse interfered, urging that Mr, McNeill had no right toa hearing until he would be proposed as’ a candidate. Mr. William Jardine then game forward and propoged Mr. McNeill—Mr. Charles s{‘Danald seconded the nomination ; whereupon Mr. MeNeill proceeded with hisaddress. He declared him- sif a candidate for the suffrages of the electors, as an

ocate for the Responsible System,: by the establish- went of which, he hoped, the Government would be ad- thinistered for the general good, and notexclusively for we benefit of afew. He spoke feelingly of the euffer- age ofthe Tenantry, occasioned by the burthens im- posed upon them by the unjust conditions of the Land- hald Tenure. He said he would not seek to revive the now slumbering doctrines of Escheat; but he would boldly and conscientiously raise his voice for an ame- lioration’ of the grievances of the tenant farmers of the Island, He lamented that no encouragement was given to native indurtry and art, and pointed out the alarming fact that aur young mechanics in every branch were obliged to forsake their homes, their friends, and their mative soil, in order to procure employment and sopport amongst strangers ina strange land; an evil which was solely caused by the admission of manfac- tured articles of every kind from the United States. With reference to Mr. Douse, he took a very fovourable snd flattering review of his character and conduct asa land Agent; but shewed, very clearly, that he could not serve two masters—the Proprietor whose Agent he ms, and the Public whose Reprseentative he had teen and sought to be again. He could not, he said, attend to his duties as a Land Agent in London, and at

the same time discharge his duties to a constituency in

the House of Assembly; and neither could he attend

0 his duties here as the Steward over a large property, tnd likewise sufficiently inform and instruct himself tout the nature and extent of public grievances; vhilst, on the other hand, he (Mr. M‘Neill), a native of he Island, the son of a farmer, one of the people. resid- ‘amongst them as a teacher of youth, and having his ‘wnings and evenings at his owa disposal for the *wirement of information by reading and conversa- “Mamongst the people, ought, at least, to be well

¥ALSEHOOD £XPOSED. — On Wednesday last, in reference to the Communica-

the Friday previous, we demonstrated the absurdity and falsehood of the assertion, made by that veracious scrib- bler, that a difference of opinion existed between Capt.

the terms on which they sought to negociate with His Excellency a settlement of the difficulties ebstructing the contemplated change in the Government; and we have now the: authority of Capt. Swabey to state that no such difference either ever did, or does exist between him-and his colleagues conducting the conference with the Lieutenant Governor, Capt. Swabey further re- quests us to publish the memorandum of that conference, i Se signature and those of the other two gentlemen, his associates therein, which we therefore

‘“ Messrs. Swabey, Coles, and Warburton, waited on His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, to give an an- ewer to His Excellency respecting certain conditions to precede a change of Government, which were as fol- lows :—A permanent Provision for the Chief Justice, to that gentleman’s satisfaction. Some provision for the Colonial Secretary and Treasurer, on their surrendering their offices; the amount of which, in each case, had been named by His Excellency at £200. It was stated

that an arrangement had been come to with the Chief}

Justice that £500 in cash should be forthwith paid to him, and his future salary secured permanently ac £700 perannum. In regard to the Colonial Secretary, that he might continue to be Registrar of Deeds at a salary of £200; and, as to the Treasurer, that he might take the office of Collector of Excise (to be vacated) at the same salary.

“His Excellency stated, that he would require the Chief Justice’s acknowledgment of his being satisfied in writing from himself, ‘That in respect to the other two gentleman, he would communieate with them, and stated, that he thought that they could not do better.

“Thereupon it was requested by Mr. Coles that His Excellency would, forthwith, name an entire new Exe- cutive Council.

“This His Excellency stated his inability to comply with; but stated his readiness to admit the three gen- tlemen engaged in the conference, in lieu of the three at present in it, till he had fina] instructions,

“Upon His Excellency’s declining to form an entire new Council, the conference broke up with the under- standing that neither party was to be bound by anything that had transpired during the negotiation.

Diseracerun Row.--On Wednesday evening a dis- graceful row occurred at Lot 43 Ferry. Our informant states, that Mr. Nicholas Jenkins, who, it will be re- membered, seconded the nomination of his friend, Mr. Douse, on arriving at the Ferry met with Mr. William Praught, a neighbour, and having some ill-feeling to- wards that person, growing out of a previous quarrel, commenced a tirade of abuse against him, and ended by rudely snatching a stick from the hand of a gentle- man who was near him, and breaking it in several pieces over the head of Praught, inflicting a deep wound in hig skull. Jenkins was, at the time, over-heated with politics and liquor, and was furious in his praises of Mr. Douse, from which, it appears, Praught was a dis- senting party. -

Mosic.—Mr. Kiely’s Band gave another Concert on Wednesday evening last at the Town Hal!. The per- formance included many new and very beautiful pieces, and their execution reflected the highest credit on the skill and taste of Mr. Kiely and his associates, whose talents, we regret to say, have not yet commanded that encouragement and reward to which they are so we! entitled. Weare only surprised that they could have played so well to so small an audience. The fact is a melancholy evidence of the deficiency of taste and ap- preciation in our community for this finest ofthe Fine Arts.
