Tne Rejected of New London hag again given vent to his spite and malice against Mr. Coles in a ruffianly attack which ap- peared in the last Islander—an attack especially base, inasmuch as it was un- provoked and uncalled for. It oceupieg a column of close print, and ‘there jg scarcely one solitary sentence in it which does not contain either a palpable and wilful lie, or a gross misstatement ; while the Janguage throughout is only such as the most abandoned blackguard would use. So thickly are the falsehoods strang together, that, with his accustomed bung- ling, one lie is now and then running counter to another ; as, for example: “Sir Henry quarrelled with every per- son with whom he had any transactions,” “ Sir Henry instigated the Legislative Council to infringe on the long-establish- ed rights of the Assembly.” Could he instigate to the commission of an act persons with whom he qnarrelled? But both are falsehoods. We forget, however, that we purposed to abstain from all reply to Maclean’s farago of abuse, We incline to the opinion of eur contem- porary in Halifox, that the fellow is ua- worthy of further consideration.
THE NEW POSTAL ARRANGE- MENT.
We copy the following paragraph from
the Quebec Mercury of the 23d Novem-.
ber:-—
“Post Orrice Department.—We fear there. is no assurance that the re duced rate of postage will come into on eration even on the first of January. The last despatch from the Colonial Office on the subject merely states the transfer of the Department must be delayed till some future time, without stating when it is likely to be.”
The Islander was, during the last Sam- mer, fieree in its abuse of the Assembly for neglecting to make the necessary preparations for the transfer of the Post Office department from imperial to local authority ; and it asserted that, while all the other Colonies, (their Legislatures, having made the desired arrangements) would enjoy the advantage of cheap postage after the 5th of October last, ths: Island would be excluded, owing to the. alleged neglect, incapacity, &c. of the, Assembly. We see now that we are not one whit worse off in this respect than: the other Colonies ; and we see moreover, how unjastifiable was the abuse, and how. utterly false the assertions of the Islander.
