107 PM ee Cre it RRR 7 meRReRRERRIREI The Solicitor Genera! entered into a long, laboured, and painfully oppressive vindication of his conduct while a member, but particularly defending his voting for the increase to the Governer’s Salary, and the Judge’s Bill. All the wretched apologies for argument on these sub- jects, which drivelled from the lips of Mr. Edward Pal- mer during the last Session, were again spun out to the greatest length. Never wasa crowd of people so much to be pitied as the Electors were to-day for two mortal hours while Mr, Palmer made his last (political) “ will and testament.” What the Clerk of the Weather could not do to make them very uncomfortable, he certainly did. ‘The conduct of the late Governor was again at- tacked by this individual in the most gross, mean and malignant temper—just as if the Election of the present day was to be decided on the question, whether the late Governor was a good ora bad man. He says he voted for the increase to the Governor’s Salary, because Sir Henry represented that Salary as too small—yet, he would not give the increase toSir Henry. “ But,” ask- ed Mr. Palmer, “ am I to be reproached with voting £500 to the Salary of the Governor, when that vote gave us an opportunity of giving £1600 for the encouragement of education ?” This was the most imptdent and unblush- ing question he could possibly think of asking. His object was to make it appear that the £500 vote was introduced with the view of encouraging education, — whereas, as every body knows, the education scheme was 4 secondary matter, proposed by Mr. D. McDonald, one of Mr. Palmer’s opponents, after the Governor’s al- lowance had been decided upon,—so Mr. Palmer had no right to claim credit upon this score. Respecting the Judgeship, the same old thread-worn arguments of last Session were brished up for service. Mr. Palmer denied that the Judge Bill was brought in to create an office for him,—but he may deny it as often and as loud as he pleases—there is the whole scheme palpable to the dullest comprehension: He and the Archworker of mischief pack up their traps for England—they arrive at the Colonial Office door—they send several begging letters for an interview—ultimately they obtain one-- they learn that his present Excellency is appointed— they promise him £500 (which they proclaim as an act of justice, though there was no talk about the justice of the thing in Sir Henry’s time)—they arrange amongst themselves that there shall be an Assistant Judge, which would open for Mr. Palmer a road to promotion in his profession, by removing Mr. Peters to the Bench; and thus comes the present election, which is, in short, the finishing stroke to the Delegation business of 1847. It was quite reasunable to expect that Mr. Palmer would deny all this; but we know from experience that a great allowance will be made by the public for the dexterity Mr. Palmer usually displays in stretching or concealing facts to answer his own purposes,

Mr. Lorn followed the Solieitor General. He stated the grounds of his opposition frankly and honestly—he came forward, he said, to oppose Mr. Palmer since no other candidate could be found, because he believed the policy pursued by Mr. P., particularly in the appro- priation of the public money, was calculated to inflict great injury on the country. He then entered into de- tails, which we have not space to notice. On the whole his speech was a clear and manly avowa] of principles, and was, in its mildness and gentlemanly tone, a pleas- ing contrast to the insolence and slang of his opponent. The Hon. Mr. Coles and Mr. Broydrick again address- ed the Electors, and shortly after the strains of a Band of Muste mingled with the cheers of the crowd, (the Band being provided by Mr. Lord’s friends) and a red, green and blue flag floated in the midst of them, bear- ing the iuscription— )

W. W. LORD, THE ADVOCATE OF ECONOMY, AGAINST PALMER,

THE SQUANDERER OF THE PUBLIC MONEY. Towards nightfall Mr. Lord was escorted by the Band, accompanied by many of his friends, to the Victoria Hotel, where they partook of refreshments.

in our next No. we shall shew, previously to the Election, the relative claims of the two Candidates.
