put to the members of this Society ono or two importarit yues- tions. In the first place, in what manner shall we su port the Islander ? You wil probably answer, by payin pera. our subseriptions to the paper, and our usual Hes contributions to make up the amount of the editor's salary. That certainly is a satisfactory answer as far as it goes, but the next import- ant question is—How much, think you, does this amount to from each individual subscriber and contributor ? Now, I will only venture to speak for myself, although I know many in- | divaduals to whom the same observation will apply, and L'think I am within bounds when I assért. that my support to tho | Islander has been to the tune of five pounds per annum, and this having been continued steadily from 1851 up to the present _ time—tosay nothing of previous contributions and subscriptions | —gives & sum of £25, by which I have supported the Is/ander during that short period. Now, Sir, when a man gives away his money to any particular cause, and sees no prospect of a return to himself or others for the expenditure, it is his duty | to pause and reflect whether he should go on doing as he has done. (Sensation, and cries of «* Oh! oh!’ from several mem- 'bers.) I was well aware, Sir, that the sentiments I bave risen | to utter would excite some surprise, but to myself they have been a source of painful consideration fur several years. I | think most of you will do me the justice to admit that my heart ‘ has been always, and still is, in the cause of what is impudently termed the old Compact. (Cheers.) I have been at ali their

support to the Islander, having been made by an influential | electicns—conversant with all their schemes and plots, ready | Reynolds, E. H. Packard, Robert Pearson, M. O°Halloran, J. C. Mac-

member, he spoke in support of it as follows :—

“Mr. President and Gentlemen,—You all know, and I am suro duly appreciate the invaluable services rendered to our cause by that well-conducted periodical, the Js/ander. Indeed, these services are 80 conspicuous, that I am at a loss how to begin the record of their importance. The person who con- ducts the paper rightly judges, that, to succeed in an op- position, it is necessary not only to undervalue and malign the character of an existing Government in its collective capacity,

but it is a great avxiliary in the success of such a scheme to |

scandalise and libel to the utmost, each constituent part ; and not only the members of the Government themselves, but aN who are under them, in whatever capacity they may move. Believe me, gentlemen, in such an undertaking no scruples of conscience should or ought to circumscribe the bounds of de- traction—no limits, which trath and justice in other matters might preseribe, are at all necessary in this case. Nay, they must he unhesitatingly passed by, when itis expedient. The present Governor, as well as former Governors, and even their wives, must be maligned,if the public taste and the most re- mots approach to producing an effect, require it. Let me, however, inet:l into you that caution without which, as I bave often bad oeeasion to observe, the best schemes will fail. The

to assist in carrying them out by any means, (cheers!) fair j}and foul (**Oh!’’) and it has been my anxious desire to have la xaper that would assist in this good work. Now, Sir, when _w@hired the present editor of the Islander five years ago — to _be sure he was a cast-off of the Snatcher party and a rejected | member, but we were glad to get any man of talent from any ' quarter, since we bad none in our own circle—I ask, Sir, what | did we expect at that time, and what did he premise? Did he not pledge bimself to write down — to annihilate — to cover with everlasting confusion and disgrace the party who had just | then usurped the offices of our good old friends? (Hear.) We thought he was capable of performing this important service, and so we hired him ; but instead of helping us out of our diffi- culties, and destroying our enemies, he has only plunged us deeper into the former, and increased the number of the latter. (Sensation, and cries of, ‘‘ Sit down, Sir.’’) This candid ad- mission may be unpalatable to some gentlemen here, but although it may not be the object of this Association always to propagate the truth, we ought to be allowed to use a little of that article amongst ourselves, in cases where truth will answer our purposes better than falsehood. Now, Sir, I put the plain _common sense question to every man here—Has not Duncan | Maclean been worse than a failure to us?’’ (Sensation.)

the intlictions—in any decent print. Gentlemen, do not believe it. Thero is no harm in this course. Few, indeed, believe what they read, but the general effect is damaging. Sir Henry Vere Huntley. Sir Alexander Bannerman, Sir

Dominick Daly, all come in for their share of calumny and |

abuse, and why not their wives? Were they not joined together for better and for worse, and what is there unmanly in seourging the females together with the males? Bat, gentlemen, whilst this course meets, as [ am sure it does, with your most hearty approval, please to bear in mind the fact, that manly indignation is not altogether so dead and extinct in this oar community as you might wish, or | fear imagine.

‘Take care, whilst you promote tu the utmost these proceedings, |

what you ate about. People will eall the Islander (our faith- ful organ) @ scarrilous and a lying print, and give it other harsh names, totally undeserved. They will say that it vivlates not valy truth, but all the conventional decencies of respectable suciety. While, therefore, you employ i@ columns, oan gloat overits monstrosities, take care, take care, that you s) manage toaccord your support and countenance, that no wraon shall be able, in any manner, to identify you with it. The odious system of Government in operation makes every

pablic man responsible tu the people, and it will not do ta @ppear to have anything im common with the paper under consideration. Wherever you go, exclaim against its excesses —deprecate its personalitics—inveigh against its falsehoods— make the public, and above all, those of decent deportment, believe you have no connection whatever with it,—talk as if you think it an unclean thing to touch; bat do not fail, notwithstanding, to have it on your table as a thing you are indifferent about. If you are questioned regarding it, aifeet tv be ashamed of it—profess it goes too far—in short, do what you will to damn it, only be sure that it gets subseriptions and donations enough to pay the pr'nter and editor. Write in it when you have any damaging scandal to promulgate; and so shall our Society thrive, and the usurpers of our official rights aud profits be finally discomfitted.”’

The ** hon. member’’ then resumed his seat amidst much applause, when another rose and spoke as follows :—

‘© Mr. President and Gentlemen,—The hon. member who | has jast addressed you has brought under your consideration a | What, indeed, would our |

matter of the deepest importance.

Society or our party be without the Js/ander? It is well |

known to you all that the other journal—I mean Haszard’s |

|

Gazette—beeides the fact, that ite management shows there is | no talent in its editor, it is far too scrupulous for our purpose | or the crisis ; and it is too strongly suspected, that, seeing the | course of events to be inevitable, it is not disinclined, so far | as its antecedents will permit, to occupy the position of an | armed neutrality. This, indeed, may be wisdom, but it is not patriotism, nor do I believe it to be the fruit of the slightest siucerity. But be that as it may, it is the Is/ander, the whole- hog Islander on which we have to depend. I wish, however, to ask the President if he #¥m inform me what has become of | the aubseription, or [ should more properly say. gratuitous | contributions which were got up on behalf of this valuable | —. is the list now extinct, or only put into concealment | om the unwillingness of many of our best friends to have | their names on record as the founders and supportes of the | journal in question? [** I do not know,”’ the President replies.] | he President “does not dnow.’’ Weli, the answer is wise and prudent—for if he knows, it surely would not be wise to risk the exposure of the names which would so ill accord with the professions of those amongst them who make a daily parade of repudiating the tricks of their over-grown bantling. They, like many other not very moral parents, perhaps chuckle over the godless tricks of their decency-defying children. The_ feeling is too common, but in this case it 1s well known. But, | gentlemen, not to oceupy too much of your valuable time, | allow me to put before you a consideration which I am sure | will have great weight in deciding the course you should take on this occasion. Gentlemen, you cannot be ignorant that amongst ourselves there cannot be found any of that sort of | talent which is wanted to conduct or even materially to aid | such an undertaking as this. We have not the art of writing | or defending our opinions. We must trust to those whom we employ. Be you, therefore, seandalised by the connection— be you desirous to disown it—or be you what you may, you cannot exist without it. Emissaries, indeed, you may employ, but they will be no more successful in your cause than they Were in that of the Maine Liquor Law. No reliance for aid 18 to be looked for elsewhere than in the columns of the Islander. All, then, that it may publish, which the worlémay think unjustifiable, nay, even the mealy-mouthed amongst ourselves may condemn, is, gentlemen, | assure you, quite unimportant on that ground, seeing that the public press must be prostituted, it “0 om are ever to ripen into successful maturity. Iam Sure, therefore, we cannot exist without it. We may become like opium-eaters, ashamed to take our relish in public,

t we must still continue it as part of our daiiy means of ecistence.”’

(This gentleman having here concluded his speech amidst stamping of feet and clapping of hands, another member rose, Who, the Reporter understood, but very recently joined the Alliance, and whose zeal in the cause was of the same qualit &s Bob Acre’s courage—very shadowy and unsubstantial. His ‘ppearance, therefure, as one of the orators of the evening, | excited ho particular enthusiasm, but he was nevertheless | Atteatively listened to, until he came to the concluding part of

e address. The Reporter has been anxious to give a full and | Perfectly faithful report of his speech, which is as follows :—)

“

| fact ?

‘out of his waisteoat pocket a letter which he said he ha

Committee, which two or three, he was satisfied, were staunch ‘friends and members of the Alliance, and he could therefore 'see no impropriety in offering the remarks which suggested | themselves to him.]

| *T repeat then, Sir, said be, the question—Has not Duncan | Maclean been worse thana failure tous? We have not gained, | by means of his pen, one single election since we employed |him, but, on the contrary, in every succeeding contest we |must feel that we have been rapidly losing ground. The country districts are nearly all gone from us—Princetown, | under the operation of that mischievous Representation Bill, | is inevitably lost ; in Georgetown at the last election, we are | painfully aware, we had a narrow escape, and I trust our very /worthy President will not be offended with me when I say,

|that as the Snatchers showed their strength by a large majo- |

jrity of them giving nearly one hundred plumpers for Me-

Donald, while the whole number of voters does not amount ¢o } one hundred and fifty, it is quite clear that McDonald's friends could have put in any one they pleased had he been proposed (in proper time. Well, we all know to our mortification, that

'

jin Charlottetown, at the last election, we had a tremendous,

~ |and at one time of the day, a desperate effort, to secure the

|election of our present members, “fhat internal Franctiise Bill

| has amazingly strengthened the hands of our enemies, as was | clearly shewn by the fact, that two very quiet men, considera- bly advanced in years, who had never taken a prominent part | in polities, very nearly defeated those whom we had previously | regarded as the most popular members in the country. Well, Mr. Palmer says that he will not again offer, for reasons, of course, best known to himself, and I am afraid, Sir, that Mr. Longworth can’t. Under these circumstances, then, what are we to do? At recent elections, it has been all up-hill work with us, and at the next, lam inclined to believe, but most re- | luctantly, that our chances of success will be more discouraging. If we had a paper to assist us, it would be worthy of any )amount of support; but, Sir, it is painful for me to tell you, that the Islander is not the thing for the setvice. You know

|

that ut one time we tried to force its circulation by paying |

the printer to send it into various parts of the country where it was not previously read, free of charge to the individual receivers, for six months in the year; but in most cases the paper was sent back to the office, although offered upou such easy terms; and the few who did consent to receive it, stopped it as soon as the six months expired. Now, Sir, [am not in-

clined to give my money for an article that is not marketable,

and lam therefore compelled to oppose any ey for supporting the Islander wntil I find that it is conducted by a more influential personage than the present editor. Look, Sir, to this Alliance ! Had we not reason to expect that its branches would spring up and flourish in every section of tie Colony, and that the press which we so liberally pay would be the means of bringing it into vigorous growth? But what is the Sir, must we humble ourselves to admit, that not one solitary branch has yet been established or can be established (much sensation)—that all our efforts to spread the organization have been repulsed—(sensation)—that our prospectuses have been returned even by those upon whom we thought we could count at Tryon and New London, with a cool and insulting intimation that the thing would not go down in those favoured localities ; and here, our head quarters, where it should be supposed our men of influence most do congregate, we cannot command anything like a respectable attendance at our Association.”’

{At this announcement the audience rose en masse in the wildest confusion, some exclaiming, ‘ It is false!’’ others crying ‘Put bim down,”’ ‘put him out,’’ and the incautious gentleman would probably have been treated with great rudeness, had it not been for a very opportune occurrence, which the Reporter had the good fortune to perceive, namely, the President whine

just received, containing a subscription of Twenty Shillings towards the funds of the Alliance, froma gentleman’who had great sympathy in the cause, very much desired its success, though he at present felt reluctant to mix himself up in public affairs, and would therefore withhold his name until a more fayourable opportanity. He had no doubt he would have the happiness, &c. &c., at no distant day, to take a promi- nent part in the roceedings of the Alliance. The reading of this letter viekee’ the most enthusiastic plaudits, in the midst

of which the President adjourned the meeting.)

DR. M’LANE’S VERMIFUGE, PREPARED BY FLEMING BROS. OF PITTSBURGH.

During o practice of more than twenty years, Dr. M'Lane had at- tended innumerable patients afflicted with every form of worm disease, and was induced to apply all the energies of bis mind to the discovery of a vermifuge or worm destroyer, certain in its effects; the result of

his labors is the American Worm Specific, now before the public, pre- pare i by Fleming Bros of Pittsburgh, which is perfectly safe, and may be given alike to children of the most tender age, or to the aged adult; it purges mildly and subdues fever, and destroys worms with invariable success. [tis easy of administration, and as itdoes pot contain mercury in any form whatever, no restrictions are necessary with regard to drinking cold water, nor is it capable of doing the least injury to the tenderest infant. An incredible nuwber of worms have been expelled by this great vermifuge.

This farm being situated on the north side of Bedeque Bay, and gradually descending south to said Village, renders its location pleasant; and as it commands a full view of the Straits, with New Brunswick in the distance, makes it a very desirable site for residences—consequently it will be sold in 5 to 10 acre Lots, or in the whole, as may best suit purchasers, a large portion of which, how- ever, will be required to supply the growth of the Village. This pro- perty, in point of beauty for private residences, and convenience for all sorts of fishing, shipping, &c., is second to none in the Island. Much might be said of the many business advantages, &c., of Summerside, and of its proximity to Shediac—the terminus of the Railroad.

ALSO—at the same time and place—will be sold 300 acres of LAND on Lot 8; 100 acres on Lot 3; 100 acres on Lot 15; and also, an interest in other Lands at Fifteen Point. ALSO—the freehold of two FARMS on Lot 25, under leases, and paying annually £9 14s., currency, rent. The whole of this property will positively be sold in lots and portions to suit purchasers, and on reasonable terms. Good titles will be given to all the said property. For further particulars apply to Messrs BEER & SON, Charlottetown, or to P. BAKER, Esquire, Bedeque, with whom plans of said Village Property can be seen.
