CHARLOTTETOWN COMMON,

Such have been the feelings which agitated our little metropo- | to forego their cherished potations, for nO reason, moral or lis from Tuesday down to Friday night. The first day was that | divine, but because they thought-—poor deluded men !—that on which the Lady le Marchant ought to have arrived from She- | they might thereby effect an organization for the overthrow of diac with the United States and Provincial Mails—to leaye for | the Government at a later period. They failed in this ma-| Picton immediately, and bring over the Halifax Mail on the | nceuvre ; and thanks to Niel Dow and the exclusive and en- following day.

We do not wish to be considered as unreasonable grumblers. We haye no desire to disparage the Lady le Marchant; she is- said ty be a good sea boat, and ean do her work admirably, when put to it; but we must say, that her punctuality is very much impaired by her haying to make Richibuctou her head quarters. We pay a large sum of money for the carrying of vur mails, and we ought to haye them carried without delay snd disappointment to the public. It appears to us that this can never be the case, until Charlottetown be made the head quarters of the mail packet. Any steamer can be repaired here quite as well as at Richibuetou, perhaps more speedily ; and if not here, certainly at Pictou, where there is a good Foundry, where we have to send for the Mails, and which is the nearest post town tous. The trade with Richibuctou is of no account,— the Mails between this Island, New Brunswick, Canada and the United States, cam be very well carried by the sailing packet which plies between Bedeque and Shediac. All we want is # steamer to ran between Charlottetown and Pictou. Why *oatld we be troubled and worried because Richibuctou cannot ¢ | + Setter harbor, or Shediae get a perpetual exemption from buoy soge?

toere are some persons who seem to think harshly of the Government for not employing the Rosebud in the mail service ;

which gave that people free institutions, and used its best | the bigotry and sectarian zeal of some of its members, their’

endeavours to abolish the leasehold tenure by the only honest and practicable means—and thus forever set at rest the futile, impracticable and misechivyous agitation for escheat. é

We did hope that a free press and a liberal constitution would have exercised their influence over all, as ay done over the generality of the people of this Island, andj by diffusing more liberal and enlightened opinions, have produced a better state of feeling amongst all classes. We must ac- knowledge, indeed, that some progress has been made in this ; direction — that public men are, to some ext®nt, becoming ashamed of pursuing dishonorable courses for party ends; but until we can recognise the full triumph of principle, we will not desist from exposing the paltry tricks and dodges of de- signing knaves. There are some small minds, we know, that can never be weaned from a tortuous line of policy — to whom the old leayen with which they were nourished in their child- hood, or adulterated in their riper years, still adheres, notwith- standing that the bread they feed on has long become musty ; —th y have adopted a new and most ingenious dodge, and that is, the profession of liberal principles, and the apparent
