ELECTION FOR THE FIRST DI3- TRICT OF PRLNCE COUNTY,
Mosr_ of our, readers are by this time aware that it was upon no doubtful know- ledge of the state of public feeling in Prinee County that we, last week, so con- fidently augnred utter defeat and humili- ation to.Mr. Depnty band Agent Gall and his alfies, in their furious and preposter- ous. attempt to exclude from their well- meritted seats in the House of Assembly three of the present holders of‘oilice.
The first fight of the Summer campaign has been fought, and won—gloriously and gallantly won—by the supporters’ of constitutional Government. And the next fight!—and the next!) and the next! !/ will be crowned with no less a measure ofsuccess.
The, Hon..Mr.. Warburton’s election took place on ‘Puesday last. ' The state of the poll at the close, in the several polling divisions, as obtained frou the Sheriff's poll boaks, at St, Eleanors, on T hursday Jasi, Was as follows :—.
Warburton. Gall. Tignish, » . 169 59 Dock, ee ete 22 Cascumpec, Re ais Bag West Port, 40 10 Barlow's Mills, 56. - ‘

Only Lvoies required to give the liberal} candidate triple the number polled by the obstructive !, How does the deputy Land Agent feel after this fearful drubbing ? Is he not, or will he ever be ashamed of that ‘overweening impertinence and presump-
ion which prompred his descent upon the eiectars of the Kirst, District : ? We have no personal pique against the unfortunate ‘Wepaty— (although” from. the black guard smanner in whigh, he sometimes wags his ansolent tongue against ourselves, when
in the privat yof ‘life, he can dare to do}. ¥ With some degree of impunity, We are |:
little disposed | to express or feel any aym-
pathy fur him) and we do.not re joice over This defeat simply because he is deputy bnt because he is the instrument of | the proprietory faction im
—
and out of the Islan, and the too! of the
ors’ Beatohy
: trict where the influence sea Messrs. Can
ard, Palmer and Yeo was supposed to be overwhelming}! We- delight to-hold-up- to public admiration this wonderful cham-
pion of the Tories and Proprietors. Be-
hold him! Hei is the only eligible man they could ‘afford to put forward; and he was seladted, not because he is possessed of great mental acquirements,and “resist- less eloquence” to shake the fierce democ- racy whose shoulders support the mew fabric of constitutional Government—not because of the many noble and generous deeds he has.done, here or elsewhere— not because of the boundless wealth he might employ to corrupt the hearts and enslave the ‘souls ‘of the constituency he aspired to misrepresent —but—but—be- cause the obstructives could find no other man in their distinguished phalanx with the slightest chance of success in assuming the hazardous enterprise of opposing the Colonial Secretary—and because (ob da- maging truth!) he holds Mr. Cunard’s [rent scrip, and is locum tenens to. his honor the Assistant Judge—the sword of Damocles presonified, placed in terrot over the heads of the “ bold peasantry” whose sweat and toils ‘are spent to fil) the pockets of two or three gentlemen who * sit at home at ease,” and to make teem with verdure and with beauty those hilis and valleys, to which they have but little better than a traditional right. And now let us see of what avail has been the boasted’ inflaence of the rent rojl and ledger, in its alliance with bribery, cor- ruptionand _ intimidation, to overthrow the liberties of the people of this. Island. We find that at Tignish the Colonial Se
cretary polled one liundred and ten votes more thane Mr. Gall. At this place is situated the property claimed by the Messrs, Palmers, and most of that for whieh Mr. Gall is the reputed Agent in exacting rents for the hon. Samuel Cunard,
Mr. Charles Palmer stood upon the hus-
: tings witha list of the names of those who
are tenants tohimself and to.his brothers ; and Mr. Gall held in -his hand a list of Mr. Cunard’s tenants, giving each as he came tothe hustingsa significant nod, which being expressed in plain English,
wWonld declare that the vote was regarded |
as a part of Mr. Cunard’s property; while the Hpn. My. Coles. (who represented the Secretary at Tignish) had no list—no ledger, or nO rent-roj)!)to thrust in the
| faces of the people, ‘and by the force ‘of?
principles alone, beat the proprietor and the agent on their own property, by tre- mendous odd.” So much for the value apd importance of the rent-roll ; or, rather, so tmuch in praise of the, independent- minded tenantry who will brave a land- jord’s wrath, and perchance a landlord’s persecution for freedom’s, sake. How appropriately may the men of. Tignish claim for their motto the verse of the Scottish poet:
“Thy spirit, Indepengenee ! tet us share, Lord of the lion heart and eagie eye!
Thy steps we follow with our bosoms bare, Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky. 1
Now for Mr. Yeo and> his ledger! This, gentle:nan was once styled (faces | tious ly. enough!) king of. heen | when Jemmy, it was believed, swaye his sceptre(a yard stick) more wapvesal| ly tnan.any other king from Nicholag a St. Petersburg.te.Nicholas at Pandemo-

‘would. fail:to.cepy the fashion of the
times. Indeed, the people who have risen mn rebellion to his most ex
majesty Jemmy Yeo. have evinced more determined hatred for despotism than the revolutionists of the _Enrope cohtinent, for while the miserable kings, who were
toppled from their thrones, had in their
worst times many adherents to _ follow them in their hair breadth escapes, and to. share their calamitres, the devil a
subject at all has the “ king of the west”
from whom to claim servitude or obedi- ence. The merchant and the politician, who have been much more abroad than
the Schoolmaster, have played the very mischief with his majesty's, offaire, by re-
ducing the costof merchandize one or two
hundred per cent., and by giving familiar lectures on Responsible Government} « 8
that there are other places quite as attrac.
tive as the palace at Port Hill, where tes
dan be had for about 2s. 94., instead of
8s., tobacco for Is. 8d. instead of 4s, and
where his majesty, if he behaves nimself,
may get drunk as wel) as at the palace, and at far Jess cost than that at e@ doled out the imperial spirits to his lig s in the days that are past. co. Ope
As some of our adversaries—and es- pecially the man of the Islander—have & mighty. fondness for figures, anda wonderful knack of twisting them about tosuit their porposes—we beg to direct their attention to the foregoing state- ment of the poll, where a few. simple fi- gures may be found sugvestive of much valuable reflection. Let them take the state of the pol! at Barlow’s Mills, where the ship-building operations of Mr. Yeo are carried on more extensively than any where else, and where there are scoreé of people in his employment—end they will find that all his zea) and active im fluence could npt procure one vote for Mr. Gall: the only two who polled for Gall at this place are brothers of Mr. Yeo and would have voted as they did inde. pendently of Jemmy. And here be it remembered, the Colonia! Secretary ob- tained 56 votes inspite of Mr. Yeo, «hat then turp, again to the state of the poll ot Carr’s, Lot 14, (which polling divisics includes Port Hill, his own neighbour- hood, and the estate for which he is Agent) and they will find that Mr, Yeo’s influence is there, likewise, teetotally gone tosmash—10 being all that Gall polled to the Secretary’s 40! If Mr. Yeo had taken no active part in this elec- tion, those figares would not, perhaps, be a fair indication of his inffaence in the
| District ; but when it is notorious that he
travelled day. and, night. fer the, deputy land agent—thrertened,wheedied. cvjoled,
-|.and got * glorious,"to effet the return of | that worthy.individual--we think becar-
not fail'to be alarmedsat the decay of his influence in. anticipatidn, of a - Genentl Election ; and taking, a sad retrorpect ol the past, he will doubtless be. ready.
