“CHEAT AND ESCHEAT.”

He states that the Liberals pledged ‘themselves, privately, at the last Election, ‘to obtain an Esebeat of the lands in this

Island, if the constituencies would give

soine rigmarole in the last Islander, for},

sense enough to apologise to hia readers,| The object was to conscious that he had outraged their

Mr. Maclean is anxious to make the Electors believe (and (his appeare to be the chief object of his editorial), thee because the Proprietors S\ipported Mr Coles at his first election in 1842, he cannot now be sincere in his Professiona of attachment to the interests of the ‘enantry, and that consequently neither. rhe nor any of his party ought to receive the suffrages of the electors at any fo ture election. The absurdity of thie reasoning is too palpable for refutation. Duncan might have added, that not only did the Proprietors support Mr. Coleg, but the whole of the Charlottetown Cliquay”

|who now pay Maclean for defending

them. When these gentry, found howe ver, that Mr. Coles’ votes were not a. » regietered in their favour, they exer cined all their influence, good, bad, and) indifferent to keep hit out of the Assem © bly.. Another weighty reason advanced by Mr. Maclean, to shew that the presen! majority of the Assembly cannot possibly settle the land question, is, that My» Warburton-—a member of that majority —isan Agent! Now, Mr. Warburton's position as such could not possibly pre- vent the Assembly from entertaining. the question of purchasing the lands, (the only settlement contemplated, we bel even if he were opposed to that measure, which we know he is not; for much se he is respected, and great as hie influenee may be, in the House, he is not so ab- surd as to suppose that the whole of hie party would abandon any favorite scheme in deference to him ajone.

have each received a liberal share of|to be impracticable, and that they cheated)

the people into the belef of getting free land for them, merely to get seats in the Assembly for themselves. As may be readily imagined by ail who have not seen the editorial referred to, there is not an atom of proof to support this impudent assumption. Because Mr. Maclean takes a walk every Sunday to astonish the gaping yahoos of New London, by re- tailing the political gossip he picks Up) at the Jalander office, and receiving in} return marvellous disclosures about the discovery of great boa constrictors in that favoured Jocality, measuring in length three panels of a fence, he claims

and doings of the Colony, than any other public writerin it! and thereupon pro. ceeds toeay that he will enlighten us how the Liberals abandoned their promise of escheating the lands. This enlightment consists of the astonishing inteliigence. that some years ago, Mr. Coles declared toa meeting of his constituents at Lot 20 or 22, that so soon as Responsible Governméht would be put in operation, the Liberals would have the power of setiliny the Jand question to the satis. faction of the tenentry. If Bir. Coles made thie declaration, he was perfecily right in go doing, end we are ready to endorse it. But neitherdd Mr. Coles ner any of his party mean to revive the agnation for Escheat. There are other ways beside that, of setuing the land question ; and Mr. Coles has since.

‘rests,

But ifit were true that the Liberals '¢ ould not consistently carry out their views on the subject of the Jand tenure, for the two ridiculous reasors advanced iby Mr. Maclean, what have the tenantry ‘to expect fromthe labours of that indivi- ‘dual, and the party who support him? Is he not backed by the most illiberal, by the worst Proprietors and Agents, is and out of the Assembly? What have the tenantry to expect from Mr. Maclean's co-operation with Palmer, Haviland, Douse, Yeo, Thornton, M*Donald, Gall, Hodges, and many other Agente aaé Proprietors we could name, some of whom have rendered themselves deserv-

to nave a better opporiunity of arriving edly obnoxioas to the tenantry by « Jong atthe truth of all the political sayings)career of fraud, persecution, and tyranny?

These are the people for whom Macleas is the mercenary apologist on all oceer sions; aud yet he has the unparalleled effrontery to say, that no hope ia to de expected from the Liberals, because Ms. Coles was once supported by Land Agents and Proprietors, and because Mr. War- burton holds an Agency, for one Town- ship, by the exereise of the duties of which he has long held the affection ané esteem of all his tenants! Ihe incom- parable stupidity and folly of the whole of Mr. Maclean’s editorial, only shew the lamentable straitsto which he is 1 duced for accusations against the k* berals.
