Gevrixemen, —- You have been treated in the two last Is- landers to two long letvers of advice by W. H. Pope, Colonial Secretary of this Colony, ealealated to excite prejudices and unchristian feelings in your minds against your Roman Ca- tholic fellow colonists. Sach effusions, emanating from W. H. Pope, whose ** unscrupulous’’ antecedents are so well known and appreciated in thisecommunity, might have parsed without notice, as faras he is individually concerned ; but as the mouth-piece of the Government, the editor ef a newspaper known to be the Government organ, and as Cvlonial Seere- tary and Clerk of the Executive Council, bis acts and senti-

FOR TUM EXAMINER. Ms. Epiroa—Sia, Ip is seldom I trouble you with s com-

munieation, but | cannyt refrain from doing so at the present time. When the Liberal party were in power, loud were the

eviaplaiuts if an officer of say of the public departments was abeout trum his post, and more particularly against the Lon. G. Coles, who held the office of Colonial Secretary. [t was stated that if. the gentlemen at the head of the different de-

ta attended so their duties, there would be no necessity tor deputies. That was the cry at the hustings by members of the present Goreroment; and it was promised that should shey get the reins of Government a grest saving would be eff-cted in that branch of the public service.’ Lt is not to be denied that some of the officers in the public service honorably perform their duties; bus it is a notorious fact that there are vthers-“w

& mere pieces of office furaiture ; the Colonial Secretary, whose salary of £36) the public pay, has been absent from lis office vearly allsummer. But the worst of all is the appointment made by the present Government of Mr. D. Currie as Assis- tant Clerk to the Council, aud who has turned a Government Office into a shop of all work; and occupies the time which be should devute to the service of the public in various duties eppertaining to private affairs. But I see | will here again have te coumerate for the information ef the people.
