MESSAGE .

From Hit I-.‘.rccIlm<'y the Lieutenant Governor. in reference to a Drip-xlrli fr--. ~ the lot: Sir Donald Ccrnploell, recommending an all.-r..I.’mi it the L‘mi.‘i'tuli‘..n ofllte Colony.

A. DANNIZRMAN, Lieutenant Governor.

The Lieutenant Governor has received tbs Address of the Assembly in reference to s Dcspateh.some time sgo forwarded to the Colonial Minister. on the subject of the Franchise and Constitution of this Island; and the Assembly state. " that having under their consideration the Election Law, with the view of revising it, they are anxious that all the light that is practicable should be thrown on the subject. and request that the Despatch should be laid before them for their information.”

The Lieutenant Governor has to acquaint the Assembly, thlt the Despatch alluded to was forwarded to the Secretary of State by his immediate Predecessor. under the belief, that it would unwise to concede Responsible Government, unless accompanied with a measure to limit the Franchise to a close assimilation to a right of voting exercised in the other North American Colonies, where it is confined lo Freeholdcrs alone, by limiting the County Constituencies to freeholds, not It-es than forty shillings; und Lessehnldcrs possessing fifty acres. at an annual rent of filly shillings. twenty years’ occupation, and improvements thereon. Imounting to £300 corrency.—lo raise the qualification of the Members ofthe Assembly, and to reduce their number to nineteen. Such was the substance of the Dt'!pll.t'Il ; and the Lieutenant Governor is of opinion, that laying it before the Assembly, with the proposed law necessary to have elfectcd such a change in the Constitution, would not tend to aid the Assembly in the revision of the Election Law, which be ob- serves is now under their consideration.

£ PRINCETOWN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this Society took place at the Church at Princetown. on Monday evening,thc 5th January, the Rev. John Kicr. President, in the Chair.

Several interesting lectures were delivered during the year, and the attt-ndanco upon all occasions large and respectable. The amoulit received within this period, as aubscriptioiis to the library, far exceeds that of any previous year since its forma- tion, which will cnsble the office-bearers to enlarge the library, and thereby extend and increase its use

A Committee of order was appointed, and the following persons elected oifice-bearers for the ensuing year :- ev. John Kier, President. V\’iIliam Clark, Esq., and Ben’. Bcsristo, Vice do. James Bearisto, Secretary & 'lIressurer.

Tut: article headed “ Wanted, a Constitution," extracted frotn the British Colonist, of the Ist March. we have given en- tire as it in every respect describes a similar st rite of things in I’. E. Island. and Heaven knows we are ssrntich in want of s constitution as any part of Her Majesty's dominions.

IVANTED. A CONSTITUTION.

The fact of this Province being under the hoof of s contemplible dos otism is now too sclf-evident to require further demonstration. —. ominally, we have three branches ofthe Legislature, but practi- cally only one, and whether that one meets at the Province Building or at the Government House is itself a question. In short, we are in a state of such beautiful uncertainty, that though we hear constant- ly of Responsible Government, nobody can tell where the responsi-

' ‘ ngs. If the Executive is responsible only to the Ilouoe of I.egislative Councill—Of how many members does the Executive Council really consist? If nine are requisite, why are there only six at present? Ifsix are enough, why is the number not limited to that? Is the Legislative Council an independent body? If so, why can it be swam ed. by the addi- tion of the new members at the pleasure of the ovsrismentl Of how many members does it legally consist! In short, questions of this kind may be asked without and. and the only real truth we can come at is,th.tt this glorious confusion allows the Executive to do exactly as they please Having little or no stake in the gencral' prosperity of the Province. their chief business seems to consist in interfering with the public otlioes, with a view either to direct as much as possible of the revenue into their own private coffers, or to secure themselves in the enjo merit of their ill-gotten treasures by aqnemo .. . . . _. . ... certain members of the House of Assembly sometimes complain of the overpowering influence of the capital, they. forget that they thctiiseltres are the very cause of that influence ing predominant. The Conservatives do their utmost to oppose the centralising sys- tem. and wish to see the country represented by independent gan- tlemen. It is the Liberal members, who, while jealous of the city, are unconsciously rendering it more and more the focus of all pow- er and patrons e.

tho hope of throwing some light on what the Constitution ought to be, we venture to o ‘er a w suggestions. r. o nson, the moat able and practical Statesman in the Province is now speaking out in favor ofnn Elective Council, and we also find this one of the articles in the constitution lately granted to the Cape. Let us have then, ll Legislative Council elected by the people. That the func- tions and responsibility of the Cabinet may be made definite, let it consist of no equal number of members elected by each House; the Governor to have a costing vote. In this way tho Governor will be really a third branch of the legislature. When the two Houses cnn’t agree on any vital question. lot the Government dissolve theni . to take the opinion oftlie country. No public ollicers, except the legal ndviacrs oftlte Crown to have ll Hunt in either House. As for the reinuncration, we would have the members of the Council paid like the Assembly, and would add a hundred a car additional sl-

...,.h....;._i...i .-.. w|,.,,

lownnce to catch member of the Cabinet. The iilicult question of

patronage might be disposed of. by the ollices being given to inciti- hers of the Ii-gislaturc, with the proviso, that they resign their seats for the future. As for the funds to meet this new expenditure. it ap- pears that enough might be struck oil‘ the Governor's salary, and those of the Provincial Secretary and Receiver General to cover the whole. The Provincial Secretary has certainly shown, that his de- puty cnn donll the duty, and we can't see why, in this Province, a man should be paid in one cnpiicit for acting in another. Above all, the sulfrngc sliouldbc so modi ed as to prevent prospectively, our being swamped b an influx of strangers. \ u would have a general registration, t 0 lists to be constantly open for inspection in

e local offices. and no man should vote, who could not si n his own name,nl the veryleast. Such are briclIy.thc main points to which we would respectfully call the attention of the Ilouse of As- sem y.

NEW BRUNSWICK.

The Attorney General laid on the table the two following Resolutions; First.-

Resolved. As the opinion of this Committee, that the connecting the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada, by s Grout Trunk Railway, is of vital importance to the future in- terests and prosperity of this Province, inssmucli as the accom- plishment of such _undertaking must tend not only greatly to |"°f°-‘|l° 1'' P0P"l|I|°f|. but Idvance its Commerce, Agriculture.

Manufactures, and all other industrial ursu ts.—Second-— osolvsd, As the opinion of this (Ijummtltec, that the pro- position for constructing a Railway from Halifax to Quebec through this Province, in accordance with the plan, and in the aropotllonl latelv suggested by the delegates froiu the Canadian ovsrninsnt at H alifsx. and agreed to by the Government. of Nova Scotis and New Brunswick, rhould be ac ted by the Legislature of this Province, as being the only line on the joint account ofths three Provinces now left for coastruption.
