To vux Rvrron or tus Examiner. Six, —Will you oblige me by inserting the following letter in your next issue. Yours respectfully, C. Barer.
oe
TO MR. WILLIAM HEARD,
Sin,—I am thankful that at length you appear to be coming to yourself. The controversy between us, a6 far as Lam concerned, will close with this letter, unless you shall see fit t originate any additional fulsehoods. You assure me, your's of yesterday, of ti ; my almirers are now satisfied that you are in the wrong. in return, will assure you that many of your former admirers are of the same opinion. You add, not so much because |
have di the testimony of the witnesses, but because I have published two oaths. Disprove the testimony of the witnesses? You have produced no testimony for me to disprove.
In my letter of the 4th inst., the following passage occurs :-— ** He (speaking of yourself) then refers to my remarks in the Morrisonian C cally end to an after-breakfast conversation the following morning at Mr. H. Narraway's,’’ the whole of which, with the exeeption of the allusion to the drinking and smoking pensities of some of the Sons of Temperance, is Mr. Hearda’s invention, consequently my affidavit applies to the whole of your statement, with the above exception. And I now solemnly affirm, in the presence of Almighty God, that I pever said anything conveying the same meaning as the words you employ, nor anythiug out of which your report could have grown. (who, as you correctly remark, is well acquainted with all the rticulars,) in his-note already published, has made a similar declaration. Ihave sworn, and we both affirm that your clear and distinct report of our conversation at Pictou is totally false, exeepting the allusion to the drinking and smoking propensities of some of the Sons of Temperance. And I defy you to produce evidence to the contrary. A word respecting your credible witnesses, Messrs. Narraway, Woodman, a
ntleman at Pictou, Scott, Trowan, and the G. W. P. of this feland. What does their evidence corroborate? Mr. Trowan is the only witness who says anything to the point. And what does he say? Simply what [have never denied, viz :— *‘ that the. Hon. the Treasurer did say certain things about the Sons of Temperance,’ (and which, by the by, none of the Sons attempt to disprove.) And this is your array of evidence ? Really, sir, you are in a pitiable plight, and unfortunately for yourself, "tis one of your own making. Produce. your
evidence to prove that I spoke disgracefully of the captain, |
passengers or crew, or acknowledge that you bave made a wistake, and I am ready to forgive and forget the injury you have endeavoured to do me, for I have learned to ‘ write injuries in dust.’’ But you have introduced a new witness, Mr. Wigginton. I know not what this gentleman told you, but this | knuow,that [ have four witnesses ready tu swear that when at Mr. Cross’s, on the occasion referred to, 1 said nothing disrespectful of captain, passengers or crew.
You refer to Mr. Douglas. on Monday, the 4th instant, he told me that you had seen him, and pat it to him like this, and to the following effect viz:
Yourse/f—Do you recollect being at Pictou when the Majestic wus stranded last fall ?
Douglas—Yes.
Yourse/f—-Do you remember a person addressing the con- gregation after your sermon ?
vuglas—Yes.
Yourse/f—You remember that he said a good deal about the wickedness, ke., practised on board the Majestic?
Douglas—No, | don’t remember that he did.
’
Yourself—He did, L assure you, and | want you to sign this?
Doug
las—W hat, are you going to prosecute the Captain?
Yourse/f—No, nothing of that, I only wanted your name to making the fullest enquiry into those disbursement accounts.
it. Douglas--I can’t do it, for [don’t remember that he said it.
Mr. Heard, I ask you, did not the recital of this dialogue
justify my postscript?
Since you saw Mr. Douglas in the presence of your several witnesses, (Mr. S—— and his wife), Mr. Douglas has been seen by several members of the Bible Christian Church, and he has refused to answer the following simple question, viz :—~ Did Mr. Heard present you a paper to sign? He replied, I dou’t feel at liberty to answer that question. But he did say
that he never heard me say one word disrespectful of the |
ers or crew.
captain rowan’s document.
Mr. Heard. 3 February 26th? (Hewas fromhome.) Did not Mr. Trowan eall at your store on the morning of February 27th, and did you not there and then converse about this affair? Again, recol- ect yourself, wr. Heard. When Vir. Trowan rose in the Grand Division to respond to your demand ior a re-statement of what he heard me say at Mr. Cross’s, did he not refer to the fact that you had previously conversed together on the sabject ? Mr. W. C. Trowan has informed me, in the presence of wit- nesses, that such are the facts, and of this I was positive when I wrote my last letter, though it appeared at the time to have escaped Mr. Trowan’s memory.
What think you of this testimony, Mr. Heard? Facts are stnbbora things, are they not?
Upon whose head is the disgrace and contempt likely to fall, yours or mine?
Having thus clearly demonstrated your guilt, and cleared myself of the odium you have endeavoured to fasten on me— cleared myseif by the testimony of your own witnesses—I again leave you to ro own reflections, sincerely praying that God may remember you, not according to your deeds, but according to his loving kindness and tender mercies.
I am, sir, yours, &c.,

THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.
We promised to return to the subject of the Public Accounts, and we now proceed to fulfil our promise. Nothing could more fully demonstrate the weakness of the Opposition with which
.the Government has to contend, than the reckless, extravagant misrepresentations which is published from week to weck in the columns of the paper devoted to the interests of that Op- position, and in reference to financial affairs more than any others. We know the Conservatives have an old grudge against the Liberals regarding the Public Accounts. The startling disclosures made by the latter while the former were in office in 1846 or 1847, under Sir H. V. Huntiey, when there was no audit—when some of the old Compact party notoriously used the public moneys for their private purposes, to a very large extent—have not yet been, and never can be, forgotten. So long as the recollection of those things continues to irritate them, nothing can be more acceptable to their wounded feel- ings than to find some of their party labouring, with might and main, to discover discrepancies or irregularities in the

** According to the Public Accounts,’ says our veracious contemporary of the Ist instant, ‘* the Government was in debt on the Sist January last, the sum of £44,000 bearing interest, an amount without any parallel in the financial records of the Colony.’’ Now, we do not hesitate to say that a more pal- 'pable and unmitigated falsehood was never penned ; nor can | the extenuating plea be urged, that the writer was ignorant of the facts; for few persons have more industriously examine the public accounts, as prepared and authenticated by the | Auditors, toan the individual who made the above statement. On the 31st January last the debt of this Island was £22,800,

he very gratifying fact that some ot) remaining unpaid issued for the purchase of the Worreil and | I,
| Lot 11 Estates, as well as £11,500 Treasury Notes, which bear no interest. Asa commentary on the remark that the amount of our present debt is ‘* without any parallel in the financial records of the Colony,’’ we take leuve to remind the editor of the Islander that on the 31st January, 1850, the year before ‘the Liberals came into office, the debt amounted to £28,579 lls, Ofd., while the Government of the day had nothing to meet that amount. But now the case is different. As a set- off against the present debt of £22,800 there are amounts due on the purchase of lands exceeding £10,000, besides upwards of 50,000 acres of land remaining unsold. These are facts to which the Auditors have given their testimony, and they are gentlemen who are not likely to be accused of making out a strong case for the Government. We shall be amused, per- haps, with the thrice-told tale, that the £10,000 can never be collected, and that the 50,000 acres are bad lands; but this very reliable information is given to us by a person who knows nothing of the circumstances of the people whose instalments —in nearly all cases not yet due—go to make up the £10,000. When they begin to repudiate, it will be time enough to raise | the ery about bad debts; but even then the Government will ‘have the remedy of taking the lands for the debts. The flip- pant assertion about the 50,000 acres being bad land, comes

The Islander has resuscitated the old story about the bonds given for the payment of monies due by settlers on the Worrell Estate, who had purchased their farms from Mr. Worrell’s | Trustees. All this was fully explained in the House, but as | the debate has not yet appeared, we shall briefly relate the | facts. When the Government took possession of the Worrell |property, there were bonds to the amount of about £2,000 ‘handed over to them, which had been taken for the sale of | lands on the estate at the rate of 30s. and 40s. per acre—out of which bonds the Solicitor to the Trustees, afterwards one of the purchasers, made a very handsome profit. The Go- vernment were led to believe that no payments had been made upon these bonds; and, determined to place all intending frecholders on an equality as to the price of their land, the Commissioner was directed to cance] the bonds—the parties

To the Free and Independent Electors of the Third District of Prince County. ENTLEMEN,— Having accepted the office of “ The Commissioner of Public Lande,’’ at the earnest request of the members of the Liberal Party in the House of As- sembly, and of many other friends unconnected with the Legislature, my seat as one of your Representatives has con- sequently become vacant. This step on wy part inyolves a new Election, and Tf am desirous to take the earliest opportu- nity to solicit your suffrages as a Candidate for the representa- tion of your district.
I trust I am sufficiently well known to you all to render it unnecessary for me to go into any lengthened explanaticn as to the motives by which I have been influenced in accepting the office which His Excellency has been pleased to confer upon me. I am sure, however, that you will give me credit for sincerity when I assure you, that no pecuniary considera- tions have induced me to enter upon the arduous dutics assigned tome. This office, instead of being an adyantage to me, will be a serious drawback to my own private pursuits, which render me indepeniht of official empwyment. But I have felt that as the Land Purchase Bill originated in the House of Assemmbly—as the management of our Public Lands was, almost daily, during Session, the subject of discussion in thas Branch—it behoved some member to make a vigorous effurt, and, if necessary, a sacrifice, to carry out its provisions. The object with which that Bill was passed is a noble and philan- throphic one. That object is to stimulate the industry of our tenant population, and to give them a fair chance of becoming independent freeholders—a condition which would greatly en- hance their prosperity and contentment. The British Govern- ment have expressed their willingness to aid the tocul authorities in the performance of this good work, and the Legislature, in its recent Session, passed a Bill authorizing a Joan of money, under the linperial guarantee, for the purchase of Township Lands. When the means will be thus placed ut the disposal of the Government of this Colony, to make the Land Purchase Bill one of the most useful measures ever put in operation, it becomes their imperative duty to give effect to the intentions with which it was framed. flaving been selected to fill so important an office as that of ‘* The Commissioner of Public Lands’’—in which selection I have most reluctantly concurred—I shall spare no labour or exertion to render myself worthy of the confidence which has been placed in me; and it now remains for you to say, whether you approve of the choice which the Government have made. Should I be honoured with a renewal of your confidence, you may rely that you will always find me, as heretofore, a zealous adyocate of your local and general interests.
I have the honor to remain, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, Charlottetown, May 18, 1857. * W. W. LORD.
