ae iat , ts Io ois Hajing exposed the imposition attempted to be played off by “J.B.” in endeayouring to persuade the public thay the inhabitants of Prince County are in a ferment iscontent, because forsooth the Visitor does not per- manently reside amongst them to diffuse the blessings of wealth and content by the expenditure of £30. year, and having no personal interest whatever in the matter (except to see that in our Educational System at Jeast there be no jobbing), I see no occasion for any further remarks on the subject. All the enquiries I have been rince able to make only serve to strengthen my. previous conviction, that so long as the superintendence of their Schools 1s efficiently performed, the people are willing ty endure with stoic indifference the absentee draiu of ou year. [ have also too high an opinion of their f od sense to suppose for a moment they would attri- ute_my previous Communication to the pen of Mr. Arbuckle. “J.

a8 THE ELECTION. aa

hes resulted in favour.of Mr. Douse—-he. having been, yesterday, declared duly, elected. Wen we take into consideration the position in

whose estate includes the, moss, important part/of the District--and remember that the,settiers and tenants on that Estata, are more, or lesa, under obligations, or are likely, to,he, under obligations to the Agent,—we cannot, be surprised at his re-election, We regard him, and so do the public generally, not-as the free choice.of the Electors, but as, ‘the representative of Lord Selkirk in, the House of Assembly, to, whom. the, tenants, of that nobleman, dared,-not, refuse, their, votes... In short, Mr, Douse is indebted forthe title af M. P. Py tothe end of, his name, wholly and solely, to the adventitious circum- stance of his being in “my Lordship’s shoes,”: And this ig, abundantly proved, by,the, Rell Books, taken,in those divisions where there were none cf Lord Selkirks aerfa to be found; for example, at Lot 50, Mr. Douse polled only 12 votes, while My, M‘Neill polled 103, and at Lot 49,,Mr. Douge. obtained, only 29 votes, while his) opponent polled 63. These facta are damaging to. the, political reputation of Afr, Douse.

A fact still more damaging yet is the extraordinary

difference between the number of. votes polled for Mr. Douse in February last, when he wae not here to bring into the contest the weight of his personal and proprie- tory influences, and the number polled in June, not ‘ive months afterwards, when.be canvassed personally the District, and went so far, we are informed, as to address to some of his tenantry letters of doubtful propriety, claiming their suffrages as aright. In February Mr. Douse was second on the Poll—not in a majority, as he claimed to be, and the number of votes recorded in his favor was 651. On this late occasion he polied 327 votes--half the number he polled at the preceding election! . Thus haye heand the principles of his party sunk in the estimation of one Fiectoral District alone to the extent of 325 voices! This fact must be quite refreshing to the obstructive officials, who would hope for a longer tenure of office, could the character of the House of Assembly. be changed by a General Election.

Mr. Douse’s majority at the Iate Election was 143— Mr. M‘Neill having obtained 179 votes,. The latter entered a protest, vesterduy, et, the Sberiffs Court,

His party .tried their utmost on two. occasions to keep us. owt; end should there be a new election next week, we chal- lange the whole tribe, from the most conspicuous official down to the most insignificant of toojs, Jolin Ings, to array their mighty influences against us. We. were told that Numskull went almost crazy in February last, when he got wind of flying report that we were defeated, and the precise number of Brandies-and- water he punished in celebrating the glorious news, while the hallucination lasted, has not, we believe, to thie hour, been correctly ascertained. It is not, therefore, surprise ing that he and Donkey should yearn for an occurrence that would, in part, stone for their. mortification, end disappointment. Ina few days hence we mean to visit
