QUEEN'S COUNTY ELECTIONS. Sarvurpar, 12th March, 1859.

William McGill, Esquire, High Sheriff, opened his Court, at 11 o'clock, a. m. precisely, for the nomination of candidates | for the representation in the General Assembly of P. &. Island of Charlottetown, and severally of the Ist, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Electoral Districts of the County. The following extracts from | the Clerk of the Court's books set forth the names of the can-| didates, their proposers and seconders :

adjourned his Court untii Wednesday, the 23rd instant, 10 o'clock, forenoon, then to be re-opened for the opeming and casting up of the Poll Books, &c. &c., and otherwise concluding the Elections fur Queen's County, according to law.

Around the hustings, and during nearly the whole time that the Sheriff's Court waa open, the people—electors and others, numbering, it was conjectured, nearly two thousand — under no other immediate restraint than that imposed upon them by their own sense of justice and of the respect due to the authority of the laws, conducted themselycs with almost unexceptionable propriety, and gave to each of the candidates who addressed them as fair a hearing as they could well, even at a time of touch less excitement than the present, have expected to re- We are very sorry, however, to have to add, that a I ttle befure 4 e‘clock, just before the Sheriff closed his Court, a fight commenced (how it originated we have not been able

From thence the combatants, maintaining a sort 0! running fight, passed down Richmond-street into Pownal-street, which became the principal scene of the conflict. The Hon. Colonel Swabey, Mr. Kenneth McKenzie, and some others of whose names, not having been able to ascertain them, we are sorry we eannot make that honourable mention which is due to them, but especially the Rev. Thomas Phelan, P.P., in un- questionable evidence of a truly Christian spirit, exerted them- selyes strenuously, and in the end, we are happy to say, successfully, for the quelling of the riot. Some individuals were, however, notwithstanding, severely cut and bruised; but itis too probable-that, but for the most praise-worthy exertions of the gentiemen above named and alluded to, lives would have been lost in the affray. The three or four individuals whe have unfortunately been wounded, we rejoice to add on good authority, will soon, in all likelihood, bs sound and well again. KING'S COUNTY ELECTIONS.

The Skynochs, finding that they could not with any safety to their persons, intimi- date the Liberal electors, were compelled to keep civil tongues in their heads, and gradually dispersed, many of them loafing about the kitchens and purlieus of the various taverns, where they got glorious at the expense of those who incited the poor fools to make a wearisome tramp on foot to a scene where they

were neither useful nor ornamental. We remained on and near the hustings from about twelve

until four o'clock, when we left for home, in company with several friends : and we are free to acknowledge that a more orderly and peaceable assemblage, up to the latter hour, never surrounded a hustings; but we attribute the peaceable dis- position manifested on this occasion, more to the overwhelming numbers of tho Liberals than to the forbearance and good

sense of their opponents.

PRINCE COUNTY ELECTIONS.

We have received no detailed accounts of the proceedings at the nomination of Candidates for the representation of Prince County, at St. Eleanor’s, on Saturday last; but we understand that there was a very numerous assemblage of Electors at the Sheriff's Court. There was the usual amount of speechifying on both sides—Liberals and Tories—and we are glad to learn that there was no other noise or tumult than that of loud talking. The following gentlemen were put in nomination :—

Princetown Royalty and Lot 18.—George Sinclair and Benjamin Davies, Exqrs.—(Liberals)—Hon. Donald Mont- gomery—(Opposition.)

First District.—Nicholas Conroy, Esqr., Mr. Charles McCarthy, and Mr. P. Doyle,—(Liberals.) Mr. William Hubbard—( Opposition. )

Second District.—Hon. James Warburton—( Liberal.) David Ramsay and John Yeo, Esqrs.—( Opposition.) Third District.—Hon. 8. F. Perry—( Liberal.)

Yeo and Daniel Green, E-qrs.—(Opposition.)

Fourth District.—Jas. Muirhead and John Clark, Esqrs. —(Liberals.) J.C. Pope and Howatt, E-qrs.— (Opposition )

The friends of the Liberal Cause confidently expect that Prince County will nobly discharge its duty by returning seven or cight Liberal members,

TIE CRISIS.

Faction so base, intolerance so unchristian, illiberality so despotic, fanaticism so wild, and deception so wicked and egrading, as those are which have within the last two or three years been a most grievous scandal and heavy curse to this Culony, have scarcely ever been experienced ig any other country, even in the worst of times, saving when the people incited and exasperated by fanatic demagogues and graceless zealots, have allowed themselves to be plunged into all the horrors of internecine strife. Not long ago they received a cheek which good men hoped would be effectual; but now again, with serpent guile, they are raising their heads to effect the destruction of popular independence, freedom,and power. Hypocrisy, fanaticism and deception, under the guise and robe of sanctity, are at this very moment ‘‘ going to and fro in the land, and walking up and down in it,’’ to deceive the people ; and shortly will their powers be gathered to battle for the subjugation and extinction of popular independence and power. So long, and so successfully, in spite of the good sense of the people, have they wrought for the promotion of the aims of the Charlottetown Tory clique, that they may perhaps, we admit, obtaina momentary triumph ; but most assuredly, even if they do, they will, in the end which is not, which cannot be distant, be so overwhelmed, sunk and abased by the recoiling force of their own evil machinations and designs, that never again will they be able to make head against

pular progress, enlightenment and power. The irrevocable Sossen of Heaven—a decree fast approaching to its fulfilment —is that tyranny and oppression shall cease, and all men be free. In this decree we rejoice even when almost dismayed by the power of the enemy; for we know that it shall be established. and that all the powers of darkness shall not prevail against it!

UNLUCKY DISREGARD OF TRUTH, AS MANIFESTED

BY TWO JION. MEMBERS OF THE LATE SHORT-

LIVED HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, ON THE FLOOR OF THE HALL OF THE ASSEMBLY.

Proofs as follow from the Monitor, lst March, 1859.

‘* Hon. Con, Secretary accused Col. Gray of heading a mob and leading them up io the Queen’s County Meding, and asked what would have been the consequences, if he had had his way on that occasion? Blood, he asserted, would have been shed, and very probably many lives would have been lost.

‘* Col. Gray said he appealed to those in the gallery, to all inside or outside of the building, whether he had not been grossly misrepresented by the Co}. Secretary (Mr. Coles) with reference to the Queen’s County Meeting. He had refused to

that it was the intention of a portion of his constituents from Belfast to attend, he expressed his disapprobation in the strongest terms. ‘

The Col. Secretary asked whether the Belfasters’ ferriage and travelling expenses had not been paid by parties in Charlottetown? Were they not armed with sticks and pistols ?

To these questions, no answers were given; but silence was

“The Col, Secretary. It was, he thought, useless in the hon. member for Charlottetown to pretend that he took no vart in getting up the meeting, 4s his nome was the first attached to the Requisition, and the others of course followed their bell-wether.”’

This declaration of the fact that Mr. Palmer was a Jeader of the movement for the Indignation Meeting, nothwithstand- ing his previous assertion to the contrary, admitted of proof too easy and convincing for him to deny it ; and, by his silence, he therefure admitted that he himself had wafortunately swerved as far if not farther from trathfulness than by his evidence he had made it appear his hon. and gallant friend Jol. Gray had done. CA pair of most worthy associates, these two Honorables most undoubtedly are! Can we wonder then, Electors, that men so loyal, so honorable, men of veracity so unimpeachable, should

so confidently demand your suffrages! How can we be amazed

that men so wise and eloquent should bid you ‘mark them, and write their speeches in your books!’ Can we be surprised that men so experienced in state affairs, and so capable of ruling not for their own individual ood—for that they — not — but for the public weal, should desire to govern! No! No! They were born to govern. They are men of imperial mould and minds; and you, Electors, must deem it an honor to submit to their high behests, and bend your bodies to the very dust when carelessly they but nod upon you! Is it not so? It is, or at least they think so ; but yet we can tell them there are men nota fewin P. E. Island and we are of the number who would brook the eternal devil as soon as bow

U Liberals! let us bear in mind all these claims of Sir Domi- nick and his family to our respect, esteem, and gratitude ; and let us determine, in good time. that he and they shall not be allowed to depart from our shores without our having pre- viously manifested to them, by some well devised mode of public expression, the high regard and grateful consideration in which we hold their persons and characters, and the utter abhorrence which we feel for his base, cowardly, and infamous traducers. _— TO THE ELECTORS OF LOT 18 AND PRINCE- TOWN ROYALTY.

REFINED POLITENESS, LOYALTY, &e. &e!!!

In explanation of the fact that on the day of the Tory Indignation Meeting, Lieut. Colonel the Hon. John Hamilton Gray placed himself at the head—not of ‘* a mob,”’ as it was called, but of a body of men, armed, drilled, and trained for premeditated murderous assault upon a number of their peaceable fellow subjects, on the grounds of anti-national and anti-religious hatred—the Hon. Edward Palmer said im bis place in the Hall of the Assembly. on Thursday, 17th ult., that, “‘as that body of men consisted of a number of his

bo expected from the refined politeness for which the hon. and gallant Colonel was so remarkable, that seeing them advancing up the street, he should, as he did, descend from the platform, and place himself at their head, and march them not into, but out of the way of danger.””

That, in thus conducting himself, Lieut. Colonel Gray evinced, not only the most refined sense of polileness, but the

willing to admit. But when it had become clear to all who were assembled to be constituted ‘ a Houge,’’ that, as they could not agree to elect a Speaker, the object of their meeting would not be accomplished that day at least ; and when—not merely with proper respect for Her Majesty, in the person of Her Representative, His Excellency Sir Dominick Daly, but also with due consideration of the state of His Excellency’s health,

acute bodily indisposition—it had been suggested by the Hon. the Colonial Secretary that, to prevent any unnecessary or

it was certainly proper that a communication should be made to him to the effect that, as there was no prospect of their being able to elect a Speaker that day, it would be needless for him to remain any longer in the Couneil Chamber, in expectation of their doing so; and when, in reply to this

majority, it is now a duty incumbent on me to give you an account of the reasons that induced me to refuse taking the oath required to qualify me to take my seat in the Assembly. You are generally aware that on the day of nomination [ qualified on property consisting of frechold and leaschold, under the impression that if I possessed £50 worth of landed property, jointly lease and freehold, 1 was eligible to be elected a member; and in order that I might be legally elected and thoroughly equipped for peace or for war, I had an interview with Mr. Hensley about my qualifization pre- vious to my being put in nomination. But I must aay, in

(Lieut. Col. Gray's) constituents, it was no more than was to | justice to Mr. Hensley, that he was not in a position at the

time to give me legal advice, as I had the interview with him on the road opposite Mr. Wm. Glover's, Lot 19, on hie return from the June sitting of the Court at St. Eleanor’s, [ toid Mr. Hensley that the property on which I claimed to be elected a member was freehold and leasehold. He asked me what I valued my property worth. I told him [ con-

greatest prudence, consideration, and gentieness, we are quite | sidered it worth £80, but that [ had purchased it for £70,

and at the same time told him that 1 would quality on the property separately. He told me to put both in my schedule, I did so, and acted accordingly.

are using their utmost exertions ip two sections of the County, where ignorance and prejudiee are the prevailing character- _isties, but the intelligent and independent electors are too numerous to be defeated, aud the parsons will have all the work, and all the odium attendant upon It, for nothing. There was nothing to distinguish the proceedings at the no- mination from similar events at the same place. The attend- ance was about the average number, and the order and appa- rent good feeling whieh prevailed, (up to the hour of our Jeaying, 4 o'clock), were such as usually distinguish large bodies of electors at Georgetown. A :umour was extensively circulated for a day or two before, and was in every body’s mouth in Georgetown at an early hour of the morning, that the Skye men, er Skynochs, as they are called, would be driven, like a flock of sheep to the hustings, in great force, from dif- ferent parts of the two Counties of King’s and Queen’s. About half-past eleven this very intelligent class of beings made their appearance on the ice, coming in the direction of the head of Montague, walking two abreast; but instead of the immensa _ umber that was expccted, the gang did not exceed at the

himself at the head of an armed and infuriated mob. The assertion was totally unfounded in truth. He (Mr. P.) was i standing by Col. Gray's side when the ‘mob’ alluded to ‘came up, and was therefore prepared to speak confidently on that subject. The truth was that Col. Gray, observing a | large body of his constituents from Belfast advancing towards ithe place of mecting, could do no less than adyanee towards them with his accustomed politeness, and meet them as they , came up the street.’’ ; | The identical complimentary expression used by Mr. Palmer was, ‘with that refined polteness for which ha (Col.
