Even granting that the law of self-preserva. tion, which rises above all cunstitutioual re- straints and compacts, renders this course of legislation necessary at the present time, does not this very necessity demonstrate the fact that'a purely representative Government has proved a signal failure on this continent? Is it not heartless mockery to talk of the blessings of republican government to the millions waom we propose to deprive, for an indefinite length of time, of all civil and political rights? If de amost that can be said in favor of self-go- vernment is, that it is adapted to the birth-place of en Butler, though not to the birth-place of Washington, then, the sooner we substitute some other form of government for it the better.

THE PARTIAL ELECTIONS,

THE nomination of Candidates in the districts wherein vacancies have occurred by the accep- tance of oflice by four members of the House of Assembly, took place"on Wednesday fast. The Hon. Mr. Coles, the Provincial Secretary, was nominated for re-election in his old district by David Lawson, Esqr., and seconded by Ewen MeMillan,. Esyr. Mr. John Ross, of the Weekly, was also nominated in opposition to the Col, Secretary. His proposerwasa Mr. Wood, Lot 48—the name of the seconder we did not hear. My, Ross is prompted to his in- sane course by a contemptible factivas spirit, in which he is encouraged by some opponents of the Goverament and by disappuiuted candi- dates for office like himself. He is very well aware that he has not the ghost of a chance of being elected. | Indeed he hus declared that he would offer if he could only get two votes. Now, although every one knows that Mr. Ross will suffer a disgraceful defeat—if the displea- sure of the outraged electors be not more harsh- ly visited upon him — still his mischievous and infamous opposition will have the effect of keeping Mr. Coles out of his seat for ten days after the meeting of the House, fer the law is such that he cannot be declared elected» sooner than ten days after the poll: | ing day. Mr. Coles, being the Leader of the Government, is the member on whom should devolve the introduction of Government measures, and their guidance through the House of Assembiy, If theee should necessa- rily be delayed, and the business of the country retarded, at great inconvenience to the whole community—to Mr. Ttoss will belong the merit of accomplishing this most unpatriotic object. Mr. Ross, thoroughly destitute of talent and influence, has always been rezarded as a nobody in this’ commanity, but his miserably factions opposition to the popular Colonial Secretary covers him with ineffable’ disgrace in the eyes
