INDIGNATION MEETING AT ST. PETERS BAY. RESOLUTION ASKING FOR AN OF THE LEGISLATURE MOUSLY.

IMMEDIATE CALL PASSED UNANIS

A Meeting of the electots of St. Peter's Bay was held on Friday evening, the 9th inst. Though the weather was wet and stormy, the Court House was crowded. and

the Meeting was organized by appoints ing James Auderson, Esq., Chaii man, and the undersigned Secretary.

Hon, W. Sullivan was the first to ads dress the’ meeting, and did so at great length, giving a statement of the financial affiirs of the Province at the time the pre- gent Government

power, Heshowed that the late Govern-

jment eXpended money on the Railway

which the Dominion Government had pit or would piy back. They also spent $200,000 on essential public works, and still left $40 000 to the credit of the Pro- vince. With this amount, and the ordi- nary sources of Revenue, the aftiirs of the country could be carried on vithout the obnoxious Assessment Act. Mr. Sul- Ivan next showed the blundering and injustice of the Assessment Act, which Act, he proved, was not necessary, at all. He stated, however, that if the Assessment Act were required, once every (en years would be often enough co have the valuations mate, and that could be done at the same time the Census Was taken. It was necessary also that there should be an appeal from wrong valuations. He nextspoke of the School Act, and thought it required amendments. Many of the promises made by the Leader of the present Government were unful- filed. When out of office he was in favor of abolishing imprisonment for debt. Siace be came into power he had placed a clause in the Assessment Act providing for the imprisonment of any one who did not or could not pay his taxes. The Legislative Jouncil did nothing to prevent the hasty legislation of last session, and many of them were igno ant imposters, and it was a waste of public money to pay them. He thanked the meeting for the support and confidence given him at the last election. He would leave nothing undone on his part, to promote their interests. Mr. Sul- livan was listened to with marked atten~ tion, and at the close was loudly appluded.

Hon, Mr. Bolger said, the question of Assessment was never submitted to the people for their approval The Assessment Act was unjust and tyraon cal, The valu- ations in this District were like those in other Districts—unfair and inequitable. Many of those present, and their anccs- tors, had to leave the old country because of taxation, andwe had cause to dread taxation here. There was no need of the Assessment Act. The affairs of the Prov~ ince can be carried on without Tt. He did all he could in the Legislative Council againstit, Hemoved that it should get the three months’ hoist, but he could get no one to second his motion, The Legis. lative Council was useless and should be abolished. The School Act was not working satisfactorily in the country In this neighborhood the School was sti: vacant. The people were first taxed by the Government under the Assessmen Act, and then the Schoo! Irvustees were asked to tax the people again for School purposes. The Registration Act was also expensive and cumbersome, and put the people to joss of time and money. The Government bad no regard for the inter ests of the people, but was carried on to fiad offices for the relations of Mr. L. H. Davies. Inorder to do this the people were taxed, and by one clause of the As ‘sessment Act after they took all a man had in the world, if this were not sufficient to pay bis taxes, they could imprison him. the St. Peter's District had been s!eeping on its rights; but was now roused to do battle with the rest of the Isiand against taxation and bad government. (Ap- plause.)

Hilary MclIsaac, Esq., said the Assess meut Act was giving great di-s ctisfact on ail over the Island. ‘The people would not be discontented without cause. He thought it wasaright principle to make the ricb man pay more than the poor man, bit the valuations were not equitable. In this District we had not much to complain of, but in other places 1: seemed the valuations were tuo high. But we did not want the A sessment Act. It could be done with- out altogether, anishould not have been forced upon the people without their con- sent. (Applause. )

Hon. Mr. Bolger said he wished to cor- rect any misapprehension about the valua- tions in this District being equitable, He mentioned the nameof Mr. Sinderson avd oibers whose property had been valued excessively high, whilst others, he

‘source of revenue. ‘country might be carried on, he thought,

| said had been valued too low.

P. R. Bowers, Esq, editor of the New Era, oo being next cailed upon, spoke of the necessity of Retrenchment and econ- omy in the administration of public affairs, especially whilst the tenantry were strug» ging to become freeholders. If a second rental was placed upon them in the shape of taxation, they never would be able to pay the instalments on their lands -—a class of middle men mort relentless than the former landlords would become own- ers of the soil, andthe $800,0S0 would be frittered away, instead of being recouped tothe Provincial Treasury and being a The affairs of the

with the subsidies from the General Gov<

| ernment, and the revenue de.ived from

local sources, without any land Assesment Or tax. Other than a poll tax of $1 a head every year, on every male person from the age of Zito 60. To do this the public printing, like all other pub ic works should be let by tender; the Legislative Council should be dispensed With; high salaries shou'd be cut down. and rigid economy should be practiced in all branches of the public Service. If texition however were indispensible the rich capitalist sho ald be taxed as well as the poor farmer, Those having large salaries or incomes should also contribute out of their abund- ance to bear the burthens of the state. An Income tax on all those who had in- comes above a certain sum would be the most equitable system of taxation. Mr. Bowers pointed out the absurdities of the lax Act, and gave several instances of the unfairness ot the valuations which had been made in Belfast, Fort Augustus, Corn- wall, and Lot 29. The property of one of ‘he richest men in the last mentioned place had been valued at only $500, whilst the property of Comparatively poor men had been valued at twice or thrice that ‘mount. He also argued thai it would be better to pay the whole of the teachers’ salaries out of the Provincial Treasury to save the cost and trouble of the assess- ment for supplements and to put efficient teachers on an ejual footing, which is not the case at present. Tae desire for Rev form and retrenchment shou'd c>me from the peop'e. If the Government did not vecede to the request tor an early call of the Legislature, then the Lieut. Governor should be solicited to dissolve the House of Assembly. The disfranchisement of the young men, was also discussed by Mr. Bowers, whose speech was well received by the meeting, and freqne.atly applauded.

Mr. David Larkins, and others. stated that many of the valuations in the District were uDjust and they wanted the Asses;. ment done away with az it was unneces- sary and obnoxiou:, the following resolution proposed by Mr. Robert Lewis, and seconded by Mr, John Larkin, was carried unanimously :— Whereas, certain- acis passed by the pre- sent Government have disfranchised thou- sinds of those who have hitherto enjoyed the privilege of Voliag; and Whereas, The Assessment Act also passed by the aforesaid Government is unjust; and Whereas, The heads of cerlain depart. Meuts ofthe Government are engayed ‘s their private or other affairs instead of at- tending to tho duties for which they are paid large salaries by the tax-payers of this Province, and are thereby neglecting their pubic duties; and :

Whereas, Under ail cireumsta.jces it in necessary that economy should be practicad ia the management of our public affairs, aad 's more especially sonow when the tenants of the Island are struggling to become frav- holders;

Therefore Resolved, As the opinion of this mbeting, that there should be an iminediate wssion of the Legislature, for the purpose of costoring their franchise to those who have been So unrighteously deprived of it, as wel 43, Of enacting. measures Which, whilt pro- viding tor the raising of a suflicient revenay lo carry on the public business with econg my, Shall, at the same time, render as lighs as possible the burthens of the people,

The following resolution proposed by Mr. F. H. Sanderson, and seconded hy Mr. George Burges,was also carried unani- mously ;—

Resolved, That our Nepreseatatives whe opposed the Assessment Act, ant otherwise attend lo our interests, are entitled to our

confidence, ant deserve our thanks, and cone tinued support.

Hon. Mr. Bolger, was then called to the chair, and a vole of thanks was unanimous. ly given to the Chairman, after which the meeting adjourned.

John Morrissey, the ex-prize fighter, who secured aterm in Congress, hag juat been elected to the New York State Senate by a majority of 3 800 over Augusy tus Schell, a wealthy and respected citizen. Morrissey belongs to that section of the Democracy which opposes the rule of Tam-

maay Hall. He quarrelled with Jobo Kelly, the “boss.” of Tammany, and des termined to have revenge. Declining a nomination ina district in which he was sure to win, Morrissey weut into one of Kelly's strongholds. Tammany made several attempts to get a strong candidate to oppose him and finally put up Mr. Schell, whois a leader in the Tammany organization. The fight was a keen one, with prospects, it was thought. in favor of Schell, but Morrissey won. Morrissey is even now a rough specimen of humanity, aed not at all a desirable man for any pule lic office, but it must be admitted that bis course in public life has been marked by honesty. In the contest just closed the Republicans did not nominate a candidate, but supported Morrissey as the best means of breakidg the power of Tammany. Rev: T. DeWitt Talmage strongly denounced Morrissey from the pulpit.

The Journal des Debatas says many Bona partists and Royalist Senators and Depu. ties have arrived in Paris animated with a spirit of resistance. They advise the Mar. shal to make no concession nor eyen dis- solve the Chamber again. Their languege i no hope of the triumph of moderate

eas.
