Charlottetown, Septomb2r 1, 1877 a
PHE RIGHT SPIRIT? SHOWN.
How different is the spirit which breathes in the following eloquent words, from the ips of the Hoo. Mr. Langevin to the spiritevineed by the Patriot, the organ of ibe Grit Government, in its latest diatribe
against the Acadian French :—
“That is the way, gentlemen, in which the Conservative parly has acled and still sets towards its Protestant allies in Lower Cangda. On forming Confederation, they gave them guarantees for their representa- “iontu Parliament, for the use of their lan- juugeia the Legislature and before the tri- bunals of the Province of Quebec, and for the existence of their dissentient schools, in the Government of Quebee and Oitawa they have given them a just repryecn oreo to the Federal Parliament and in the Legis- jature of Quebec they have electcd, and still elect, in Catholic counties and by French Ganadians, men of another cree“ and of an- other nationality than that to which the great majority of the population belong.
Finally, on the judicial bench our party has placed a number of Protestant judges of whom seven sit'there still, and four Catholic - judges, but speaking the English language, who also sitthere. When par acts thus for more than twenty years, it cannot bu suspected, It cannot be feared, and we do not fear, that our conduct will be compared with thatof our asdversaries, the * Lib- erais.” ‘ais ae”
Gentlemen, we are not Conservative for nothing. We wish to conserve our rights, vur privileges, our liberties; but we wish equally to eénserve for our allies their privi- iveges and liberties. We wish to conserve our constitution, because it protects us, but a'so because it protects our compatriots ot whatever origin or creed, We wish to con- serve respect for order, respect for author ily, respect for the principles which are the fuundation of society. We wish to conserve, ia a word, all that promises to make of us a great and prosperous people, and of the es- sential conditions of this prosperity and that greatness is that we respect our allies as we woold be respeeted ourselves; that we be just towards them as we have been in the past. Gentlemen, our chiefs, who are no inore, the Lafountaines, the Morins, the ‘Taches, the Cartiers, acted thus; and I can si) to you that we, the Conservative mem- bers, intend to tread in their steps. We wish to continue in peace, in harmony, in frieudship with the English, Scotch and jrish population of Lower Canada. It has been the will of Providence to bring us to- gether and io make us live side by side in this fair land of Canada. Let us know how to answer the designs of Providence, For my part, | am convineed that it is notin the powerof Mr. Laurier and his friends, with ail their speeches and. appeals, to make the frotestant population of Lower Canada for- et the yearsof prosperity that we bave en- joyed together since the day of our happy alliance.”

A correspondent of 2 Charlottetown paper refers to the mud of that town as “beauti- tul red mud, like a Brussels carpet” in couparison with the mud of Water Street, in our city.-- Reporter.
This correspondent is probably one of the young men Who recently returned sad and sorry froma trip to Charlottetown. The cause of their sadness and sorrow was that not a single stone cou'd be found on the streets of the Island capital to hurl at the predatory felines who met them at every turn. It may not be generally known, but itis said (by the before-mentioned young men) to be a fact, that the catis a sacred animal to the Islanders, and hence their frequent presence on the sidewalks, even in daytime.—//r. Herald.
We own that perhaps more cats are to be
seen on our streets than In JJalifax; but this is accounted fur by the fact that ‘*cats”™
do not enter lato the composition of our
paisa.es. Can Halifax say the same?
