We observe in the /s/ander a requisition ** to the Honorables james Warburton and Daniel Brenan,"’ inviting those gentle-

men to allow their names to be put in nomination for the

represontation of the first district of Prince County. We are

not aware of the nature of the answer given by Mr. Warbur- | ton; we know, however, that he isa candidate for the district ; pat Mr. Brenan has declined the honor intended, and has pub-

liely given his reasons for doing so. He follows up his answer

to the requisitionists, with an address to the electors of the | district generally, in which he reviews his public life, and | seeks to justify the support he has given to the Tory party. We have no desire to dispute the correctness of Mr. Brenan’s autobiography ; and his advocacy of the conduct and principles of the Government of which he was for many years a member js no more than what we might expect from a gentleman like him, who, we knew, had not changed his opinions, no matter

what others have said to thecontrary. Mr. Brenan, however,

complains that his ‘* private political views or feelings’? have been misrepresented, and we are selected as the object of his indignation :—

‘«« For instance,”’ he says ‘‘ the editor of the Examiner, under date of 17th Muy, says :* We have received a letter from a friend at Kildare, Lot, 3, in which we are informed that a public meeting was held at Tignish on the 10th inst., whereat the Hon. Mr. Warburton was unanimously chosen as a candidate te represent the First District of Prince County. The Hon. Mr Brenan of Charlottetown was also chosen with like unanimity, as a candidate to represent the same district, in conjunction with Mr. Warburton, provided he pledged himself to support the present Government. * * * * * We know, however, that he was 1 member of the Tory Government in 1854, and has been supposed to fraternize with the Tory party before that time and since.” Now it so happens that I saw the wetter from which the above information is said to have, been derived; and I positively assert, that it contained no such proviso as the editor has placed in italies as above, and | refer the editor to the aa nici who showed me the letter, before the editer himself saw it. And as tu my being ‘ a} member of the Tory Government in 1854,’ if the editor of the £raminer did not know when he wrote that sentence, that he was stating « falsehood, he, to say the least of it, was the worst informed man in the community. But supposing I had | been a member of the Government in 1854, why the only bad thing that I recollect that Government to have done, was tu deprive the editor of the Examiner of the Queen's Printing.”

Now, we bave no hesitation in asserting that the statement above given in italics, as an extract from this paper, with which Mr. Brenan finds fault, is substantially correct. The letter referred to is at present in the possession of a gentleman many wiles distant from Charlottetown, otherwise we should publish it in fall; but it clearly informed us, that the only condition on which Mr. Brenan would be supported for the

# wat

first district was, his pledging himself to support the present

Government, or the Liberal party — we do not exactly remember which; at all events, we believed, and so did the writer who penned the letter in question believe, that there is no material difference in the ordinary signification attached to the words

The denial which Mr. Brenan has given is a quibble unworthy

ofa disingenuous mind. He has referred us to the gentleman

who showed him the letter, *« before,"’ he says, « the editor |

they have denied the just requests of Protestants, who constitute the vast majority of the intelligence, worth and wealth of the Island. Was that governing for the majority, or for selfish purposes? Were the resvlutions on the Bible rejected for the mural welfare of the country, or to please the priests? Shame upon us! if we should fayor a party who, to please the priests of Rome and retain their offices, would ignore their conscience, their Bible and their religion. be our rulers,—not the dupes of priests. v demand of a Romanist Bishop in Rustico is Jree or independent; and

| Such we totally disown as our ruler. Should the Conservatives come

into power, and show any truckling to popery, their conduct would be as unsparingly condemned as in the preseut case,—and deservedly more so, as they have in the past stood up for Protestant rights. We have neither time nor inclination to discuss the civil questions separating parties; but as the Election. will turn on a great religions question the Protector will send forth no uncertain sound. y , Seek out a man of ability, independence and integrity, who will pledge himseif to support the Bible in all our public schools and seminaries, and to give no suppurt to popery in any form,—and give that man your votes. It he isa liberal by name, he must possess the Protestantism of a Laird, independent and true, or you send a mere tool who will meanly follow a leader in defiance of the dearest rights of his constituents. The struggle is between Romanism and Protestantism. It cannot be denied or evaded. Those who seek Romanist votes are compelled to keep their Protestantism in the back ground, if not to procure favor by denouncing the Protector and Protestant ministers. Let, then, every man deserving the name of a Protestant, utterly refuse to give his vote to any man that opposed the Bible in the past, or will do so in the future. Let Protes« tants be united, and they bave nothing to fear. Komanists have been united for years;—the present movement among Protestants cannot make them more so. They move in the mass on one side, while they allow a few stragclers to take part with the opposition, to discover all their movements—watch all emergencies—nullity all zeal against their creed, or, in case the scales of power should indicate victory to the

We say to the electors— |

But their selfishness, their duplicity, and their hatred of everything which savours of popular freedom and true political liberality, are so manifest ; and the genuine reformers, the true liberals, who have hitherto, in the legislature, done so much for the people, are still so staunch, determined, and undaunted ; and the people so justly appreciate, and are so truly grateful for their inestimable services, that nothing but disappointment, shame, and ignominious defeat await the pseudo aposties of tesponsible Government and Reform. Adepts in the science

of jagglery and deception in general, some of these pretenders |

may be; bat the people in general are now vastly too quick- sighted, too reminescent of the past to be outwitted by their slight of hand; and counterfeiters will, with bat few excep- tions, be disgracefully sent back from the hustings, on the election day, to resume their private ayocations, ‘‘ with what appetite they.”’

To all that love their country, prize their Bible and fear God, we say—Go to the polls as men of intelligence and courage, that can neither be bribed nor terrified, and return such men as will respect your principles and your petitions, and preserve untarnished all the privileges of your Protestant constitution.”

Now we will just remind our readers, that the Bible Ques- tion — which is the Trojan horse of the occasional editor, and which he knows, if once admitted into the Liberal citadel, might introduce the concealed enemies of the fortress, and

thus cause the fall of the Nium, so long and vigilantly guarded by its garrison— was not once mentioned by a single candi- date, on the nomination day, for either King’s or Queen’s Counties; not even the Protestantism of ‘a Laird,’’ in whose interest especially the nonsense was penned, sufficed to induce his ventilating the question,

The editor e@ncludes with a recommendation to his Tory friends to go to the polls as men of — what think you, gentle reader? actually — intelligence! We hope that they only of the party who may be thus qualified will record their votes on the Tory ticket, and the Liberals will return every member. Judging from the qualification he recommends, the writer himself will not record his vote against the Government, if he has any regard to consistency.

THE GENERAL ELECTIONS. NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES FOR QUEEN’S COUNTY.

Tuvrspay, 17th June, 1858. William MeGill, Esq , High i a

lightened zeal, untiring energy and adequate talents, to the service of their country, by the promotion of the general well being and the advancement of all the best interests of the people, are as deservedly, as justly and obviously entitled to public recompense by investment with offices of honor, trust, and emolument, is, in our opinion, and we should think in that of every right-thinking man, a proposition which ought to be set down as an axiom, quite as indubitable, and as justly deserving of strict practical admission, as this—that amongst those who devote themselves to the service of their

) country, in the army or in the navy, they who prove them-

selves to be the best qualified, by ability, skill and courage, to protect and advance her interests, in either line, are they who are best entitled to promotion, rank, honor, command and pay. This is now, happily for the Colony, the principle which re- gulates appointments to the chief official positions in this Colony ; and we sincerely trust, that, whatever party may be in the ascendant, it wijl never be abandoned ; for the relinquish- ment of so usefully, 80 nobly aa incentive principle, would reduce our Assembly to a gathering of unintellectual, aneda- cated, aunambitious and yet sordid-minded men~-to a set of jolter-headed clods—to a set of mere puppets—to be governed and direeted,in all their motions, cunning and designing members of a selfish and unprincipled clique, absurdly faneying themselves to be the patrician caste of the Colony.

Although tie number of individuals,—electors and others, —assembled in the Queen's Square, during the holding of the Sheriffs Court, must, as, by an aceurate observer, we have been informed, have amounted to nearly five thousand, and greatly exciting as the occasion no doubt was, not a single breach of the peace occurred ; nay, we have been assured,

not even an act of the merest misdemeanor. It is with a

| ieeling, almost amounting to exultation, that we record these facts, as they so clearly show how justly deserving the peopl

Sheriff, opened his Court, according to law, this day, between

the hours of ten and twelve in the forenoon, for the commence- ment and conducting of the election of members to serve in the General Assembly of this Island, for Queen’s County. The day was remarkably fine, and a great number of rural electors had assembled in Queen Square, about the old Court House, as eariy asnine o'clock. The accommodations afforded and the arrange- ments made, under and by the directions of the Sheriff, for the convenience of parties immediately concerned in, and for the prosecution of the business of the Court, were most suitable and satisfactory : and every thing progressed, from its opening

had broken the seal of it, and he it was, with our permission, who showed it to Mr. Brenan. It is not likely that our letters should find their way into the hands of u stranger before they were read by ourselves ; and we beg to assure Mr. B. that, on #vailing ourselves of his reference to the gentleman alluded to. we find that he entertains the same impression that we do with

respect to the nature of the proviso above quoted.

As regards our statement, that Mr. Brenan was “ a member | ot the Tory Government in 1854,” we readily admit that a} slight error was made in the number of the year; instead of |

it should be 1851.

“7554,”" and absurd than his complaining of such an error —which |

might be made either in the hurry of writing or of printing— and rudely hurling in our face a charge of falsehood or of | ignorance? If there were any essential difference between the | Tory Govermmont of 1851, of which Mr. B. ackn »wledges he | was a member, and the Government of 1854, of which Messrs. | Holl and P.lmer were the leaders, and were his colleagues in | 1851—he might have some exeuse for penning the petulant | remarks to which he has subseribed his name.

Mr. Breoan’s memory with all his ability and sagacity, | is not the best in the world. He says ‘* the only bad thing” | he recelleets the Government of 1854 to have done, ‘* was to! deprive the editor of the Examiner of the Queen's printing.”*| We have not time to enter into a discussion with Mr. B. on the political affairs of that period. We need only say,

that an overwhelming majority of the people of this Island

had the honour of differing with Mr. Brenan in their estima-

tion of the acts of the Tory Government of 1854, for they must have been ‘* bad ”’ indeed, when the perpetrators of those acts | were harled from power in less than six months after they had attained it

The hon. gentleman has given another instance of a treacherous memory in the assertion, that the Tory Go-' yernment of 1854 dvuprived us of the Queen's printing. It would have certainly been « ‘* bad thing’ for our reputation if they had been allowed to do so; but we did not afford them | that gratification. We resigned the Queen's Printership the very hour the members of the Liberal Government resigned their seats in the Executive Council, and a considerable time before the Tories could collect their heterogenous forces to form that apology for a Government, which, based on trickery and deceit, had retributive Justice done to them, before they had | time to consummate their nefarious designs acainst the liberties of the people.

ila THE PARSONS’ BATTERY Was opened against the Government once more on Thursday last, by way of an editorial to help the chances of Col. Gray, Messrs. Palmer, Longworth, Yeo, &e., at the polls on Thurs- day next. The editor on duty last week, after indulging in a most gratifying strain of self-glorification as to his inde pend- ence of party, the out-spoken character of the « Sanctified,”’ proceeds in choice clerical Billingsgate to insult the feelings of

the Catholie portion of the community, by a more than usually offensive diatribe against themselyes and their respected Dio- cesan. Although we feel that we pollute our columns by a reproduction of the stale venom which emanated from the pen of some anonymous political parson, who had all the will but not the pluck of his Georgetown brother, to doff his robes for a short time while he amused himself by a free fight, ‘* after

the manner of the men at Ephesus’’—we will give the follow- ing extract :—

' “The Protector takes the side of neither party. * * * *-* ® = we have again and again spoken out our disapprobation of the present aa a it is because we fail to perceive the necessary ability fur

neucting our affairs; aud because, to secure the favor of Romanists,

And what can be more puerile | J : : : ; | freedom and equality—the friends of education and of social

to its close, in so far as the assembled electors were concerned. in a peaceful, orderly and good-humoured manner ; although, nm the part of some of the candidates there was no lack of a lisplay of that bold and energetic spirit which our [ree consti- tution so happily engenders in the breasts of our public men.

As was to be expeeted on such an occasion from an assem- blage of so intelligent, independent and spirited a body of electors as were then congregated in Queen Square, the recep- tion given to the several candidates on the hustings, as they individually presented themselves, was certainly su-h as de- cidedly to indicate who among them stood the highest, and who the lowest in publie estimation. They were certainly loud and enthusiastie in their approbation of those whom they justly account their friends—the friends of civil and religious progress and improvement of every kind; and as certainly, in ano less loud, unmistakeable and zealous manner, did they at times express their disapprobation of those whom, with’ too abundant reason, they hold to be their enemies—the enemies

of rational progress and of the social and moral elevation of

their fellow-colunists in general. I{ad the electors been less applausive and exultant at some imes,and less eondemnatory and defiant at others, their de-

t | portment, we doubt not, would have been more pleasing to the

obstructive candidates and their congeners. Had they, in

fact, been more like inanimated clay, than bold, intelligent

free-born men; had they demeaned themselves more like tame

vassals and spiritless bondmen ; had they had less of * pride

in their port’’ and ‘defiance in their eye,” fewer of the

characteristics of the race whom the poet styles “ the lords of |

| buman kind ;"’ they themselves and their behaviour altogether

would have been much more acceptable, and much more com- mendable in the estimation of the lean and anxious-minded chiefs of the spurious aristocrats of Charlottetown, who would, if they had the power as their lords, speedily reduce them to a state of Egyptian darkness and bondage; but, so

| self-degraded, they would have been altogether unworthy to

enjoy even the least of the rights and privileges which have,

| after severe contests and arduous labours, been won for and

secured to them, by their steadfast and uncompromising friends

in our legislative halls and political arenas. These men—

| these would-be aristocratic chiefs—are just now, and at all such _times, loud professors of reform and extravagant speculators

in political economy, vehement in promise, restless, vain and spasmodic in action, and most deceitfully servile in the last degree of meanness to those by whose agency they hope, or at

| least zealously endeavour, to attain their selfish objects ; but,

like a Winchelsea or a Wetherall, they declaim, amongst their blind and inane supporters, against ** the obliteration of landmarks, the opening of floodgates and the cracking of the framework of society ;’’ and lament the social confusion which

| the present system of responsibility has created in the com-

munity, to the almost complete obliteration and annihilation of their grossly presumptuous and baseless assumptions of a right to lord it over the great body of their fellow-colonists. A people, no doubt, to a certain extent they acknowledge.

Bat they look upon themselves as the great actors for whom

the stage ought tobe reserved. The people they consider only

| 4s a certain large number of supefnumeraries, who are to be occasionally addressed, as at general or partial elections, and |

then to be propitiated, if possible for shouts and plaudits, as on the theatrical stage ; but Palmer, and Alaviland, and Long- worth, their followers and families, * their heirs, exeeators, administrators and assigns, are the born first-actors, managers and leaders, and no other ought to appear upon the scene for ever and ever.

Such are the views of these men; and, to their attainment and realization, all their plots, devices, and machinations

tend ; and now, with all their united cunning and strength,

and eke with the courage of desperation, as a sworn frat rnity of political jugglers, cheats, and empiries, they are once more determined to essay the re-establishment of the old regimg, under a new name. They are now the determined champions of reform! The departmental system must be abolished! Place-bolders must have no p/ace on the floor of the Asserably ; they would corrapt the whole body of it! The people must choose them to represent them there; and leave everything else, concerning the general good, to be ordered by them. They will legislate for the people, aad call upon them to pay the salaries of the publie officers; but the appointment or choosing of these officers is a business of too much delicacy and difficulty for the people to engage in; and, as they themselves cannot, consistently with their cvowed principle of reform, accept the offives themselves, although certainly better qualified te fill them than any other men in the Colony, they will most carefully and prudently select, from amongst their own families, and family connexions, the most suitable

e of all the privileges and benefits which they enjoy under representative constitation and the greatest rational latitude of seli-government. In a spirit of solf-respect they nobly responded to the confience placed in them by the Sheriff and the Government; and,—to the shame and reproach of those who, on a similar occasion, a few years ago, insulted and provoked them, by a formidable and threatening array of iruncheon-armed constables and peace-officers—not less than sixty or seventy, we believe—to hold them in check and keep them in awe.—showed that, of themselves, without coercion, they knew quite as well, if not better, how to respect, obey, and preserve inviolate the laws of order and of their country, as they who had arrogantly presumed to intimidate and con- trol them by the hludgeons of a constabulary foree.

The peace and order which prevailed were doubtless owing, dlinost in as great a degree to the prudent and complimentary confidence placed in the people by the Sheri!f and the Govern- ment, us to the good sense and right feeling of the people ; and, with the bighest satisfaction, we congratulate them al! alike upon the order, peace, satisfaction, and credit which characterized the proceedings of the day.

Towards the close of the proceedings, at the call of the Hon. Colonial Secretary, three hearty cheers were given for the Liberals ; and then, on motion of the same honorable gentle- man, the thanks of the assembled Electors were given, by loud acclamation, to William MeGill, Esq., for his impartial, urbane, and obliging conduct, throughout the day, in his official capacity of High Sheriif; and so terminated the special business of the day.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SECOND DISTRICT OF KING’S COUNTY.

GENTLEMEN ,—I promised last week that T would notice some other misstatements ,especting the public affairs of this Island which Dr. Jardine has bad the boidwess to address te you in his letter of the 17th ultinro. The object of his extraordinary lucubration was, to create a prejudice against me and the party I support, and to arouse a feeling ia bis own beha}!, which he vainly hoped would serve him in the contest of Thursday next. 1 think, however, you are as indifferent to the pretensions of the Doctor as you were before he issued his mendacious appeal to you, and I therefore deem it unnecessary to offer a lengti,- ened reply in print: On Thursday last he was nominated as a candidate for the representation of the district. Instead of coming boldly before the electors of the whole county, and attempting to justify his false charges against the Government and myself, where T waited to mect his accusations, and was | prepared to answer him, he shrunk from contact with the a»- sembled electors, and ran from the field of political c mntroversy iu the most cowardly and contemptible manner. It is to be hoped that he will present a somewhat bolder front at Saint Peter’s on the Thursday coming, and be may rely upon it that I shall not be backward to pay him my respects, when T shall answer and refute all his other groundless charges against myself and the Party to which I belong.

Your obedient servant,

Entertaining these views, it shall be my aim to support all just and liberal measures proposed for the more effectual development of our in- | dustrial resources, the chief of which—Agricuiture and the Fisherics— must ever form the basis of our future and permanent prosperity.
