E HUDSON EMETIC!—A CURE FOR PUBLIC DISORDERS!

Againjin the exercise of our rights as Britusty Bie have we elected two eeotiens nto se present us in the House | ot Assembly, apc.of course we judge them | fit end proper per Gs so to do.

j But i there. not mere implied in the | terms “fit and proper” thap at first sight | we are aware of, and may it not be said that qae fications, such as strong com- mon sense, a decent education, a know- _tedge of ovr wants and resources, with | henesty and integrity, which rendera man equal to Leyislative duties under ordinary | Clicumstances, are not enough under ex- | tracréipery ones Should there not in | times of emergency be added. fearless- ness of courage, aud a spirit of self-sacri- fice, which would prompt toa vigorous

/ and persevering use of &j] constitutional

iveans to serve ‘he common weal, regard- lews of personel consequences? Com- men prac ice may do for common com- pleints, but superior and persevering skill isidispensably necessary for complicated disorders.

To such a state of complicated disor- ders are we reduced by the ignorance or avaricious character, or both combined, of many if net all of our Public Officers, that it requires all that is courageous, prudent, honest, and persevering, to save us from dissulution.

‘ihe expose made this day upon the Hustings, proved to every mind not awful- ly blinded by prejudice or self-interest, that there is much, very much, that is

coniemplated Members in the House of Assembly still argue for entire irresponsi- bility on the part of those who hold the most responsible offices—others for a mongrel responsibility, little better than

o justify his extravagant ana Oppres- | = Naas eke late House, but at the | game time fearlessly asserting Ins inde- | pendence, and Janding himself upon his | not holding any Government Office. My dear Sir, do you conceive that it required an exquisite acuteness of scent to sinell the trail of the fox ?

But what is required at the hand of our Representatives at the present crisis ? for a crisis we are arrived at, and the temp- tations on the part of the office-holders to hold on, are being multiphed, for a Fund, hitherto unapproachable by us, 1s now to be submitted to eur controul on condition of our paying our own Civil List. I ask, then, is it’ not indispensably necessary that a certain high functionery should not have it in his power to sqander hundreds of the public money in bribing any un- principled Governor to pass by his gross frauds? Aud if necessray for one, is it not equally so for all of the Compact ? Is it not ten-fold more necessary that an efficient aud ptompt control upon the whole of them should at all times be at hand, especially since those very men are doing all they can to prevent Uns safe policy ?

What would any Corporate body of men think of either their Secretary, | rea- surer, or any other officer that evidenced the slightest disinclination to submit bis accounts at any required period ?, Would net suspicion fasten upon him as a leech, and suck out his life’s blood? And yet, forsooth, we whose suspicions have been justly aroused, must move.on a® we ever have, and exercise no control over one who we have every reason to believe has been for a number of years enriching himself by shamefu! peculations.

Sir; on the Hustings loud professions were made, by the professional zentle- men, of even-handed justice. May t be allowed toask whether it is just, equally just, that the unhappy wretch who, under the influence of ignorance and destitution, has been guilty of some petty theft, to save himselfand those he holds most dear from starvation, shon}d be confined at hard labor, publicly whipped, or banished his country, while the titled robber of hund- reds, yea thousands, pursues his vile ca- reer unchecked, unwatched, and wader no control but such as he can at all times

lind or bribe. Do not bonest sven blush at the bare thought of some of the deeda, or rather misdeeds, of some of our Public Officers? And shall our Lawyers, espe- cially our young men of promise, lend themselves io uphold this system of rot- tenness—this mass of corruption? Will they not render themselves suspected ? Will they not brand their own foreheads with infamy ? And will not that brand descend with them to the greve? member! the time is at hand when this sink of iniquity is to be stirred to the bot- tom, and so.sure as you are found agsoci- ated with those who have contributed to its formation and enlargement, so surely will you die at the uprisings of its horri- ble stench. Hence I exhort you to join us ina just and laudable object, viz: the sendiag home to one of the Railway De- pots for a quantity of Hudson Emetic ; we want several doses, as many as we have Public Officers; one dose should be ad- ministered at once~the case is a despe- rate one,—I mean the C 1 S——y; he has gorged so much of every kind of dish that is to be found at a Colonial table, that it is thought, by the most eminent Physicians, that if immediate relief is not afforded, there is great danger of his sinking. Poor fellow, how I pity him! Search has been made in every Druggiet. Shop in town for a remedy, but in vain— it having been fully ascertained that the Hudson Emetic is the only specific for the dieorder.

THIRD DISTRICT OF KING’S COUNTY ELECTION,

Mr. Wretan

the medium of your Journal to the public, that the Government Candidate for the third Electoral District of Kings County, the Hon, Edward Thornton, although nominally at the head of the Poll, is re- tarnec by « minority of-cwe Electors, Here is the proof of my assertion. The whole number of Electors who polled were 601, the number who voted for him 290, less than half the number polled. The fact is, Mr. Whelan, had Mr LeLa-

he taken the advice whieh I wopeeaed

wae tend¢red to him, that he would not

Tu the mig. calculation of Mr. LeLacheur isto te attributed solely the triumph of Mr.Thorn. ton; but really, Mr. Whelan, can yee wonder otherwise at Mr. Thornton's position, when you consider thet et the polling divisions, six in number, he had at one the face of the High Sheriff of the County, at another Thomas Clow, Esq. at a third, Mr. Thornton in pers n; at @ fourth Hon. Daniel Brenan; at a htth Air; Wightmars Glerk, and at a sisth Mr. James M‘Donaldc, Brother-in-l aw to Me, Thornton. Can any one wonder at the issue? But positively, Mr, Whelan, the issue is most creditabie to the Frit of the District, reforming it has proved it- self to be, and when you take into ec count that at the lest election Mr. ‘i hoyn-

»? oe

ton polled about twice as many #8 ut pre~

sent, you will be ready to,esk why ia this ? The answer-is, because he has ac - ed contrary to his written pledges ana spoken déclarations, and the offer stated opinions of his Constituents, that the People of P. E. Island were as inteiligent as their fellow colonists in the neig!bour- ing colonies, and of course entitled to the same Political rights.

A contest to-morrow or atany future period would place Mr. Thornton in the opinion ef the majority of the istrict at a low tigure.
