THE GOVERNMENT AGAIN “IN A FIX.”

A MAIL-IGIOUS ATTACK ON THE PUBLIC INTERESTS. |Tue governor and his obstructive friends ‘are a most unkapry set of tacticians.

The Mail carriers—(so the Governor wished), should immediately suspend their occu- pations ; a member of Parliament in town should not be allowed the honour of communicating by letter with his constitu- ents in the country ; these was to be no two-penny interchange of sentiment, feeling or affection—a man should not have the luxury of dropping a billet doux to hig sweetheart or his wife—a * con- fidential” to his friend, or an order to his shopkeeper or tradesman; there was no end to the calamities such an event would bring about: and it waa fondly thought that if the stoppage of the males did not bring the House of Assembly to

In 1849, according to tive Journal of the

House of Assembly for that year, the amount of the revenue received at the Post Office was, £1,102. 3. 114; the og- penditure for the same year, for ealeries, inland Mails, Summer and Wonter, aed for Packets, was, £1067. 6. 0: Ddeing £37. 17. 114 over the expenditure. Now the Deputy Post Master here, being in structed to disberse the charges upon hi» office from the funds in his receipt, cannot be atthe slightest inconvenience from the non-interference of the House of Ae sembly, in respect to the transmission of the Mails, when it is evident that the ro- ceipts are equal, or more than equal, te the expenditure. If he be so unwise, which we scarcely thirk he will, ae w gratify the malice of the Governer and the obstructives against the House of Assembly, by siopping the transmiseion of the Mails, why, then, we hope he with bear with equanimity the present loss he will sustain, in the absence of per centage, and prepare himself for “the good time coming,” when the House of Assembly will be entrusted with the.controul of his department, a9 well as every other branch of the public Service. In sooth, we hope the Mails may be stopped, for such a mad freak will bring the question at issue be- tween the Governor apd the Assembly to an issue, sooner than any thing elae we could think of. We thank the Governor for the effort he has made in this instance to annihilate. the obstructives, and to bring about Responsible Government. It will be nuts for the Jslander if the Mails are stopped. “ Donkey dear” may imagine that, in that instance, he may not have the influence of Tus Examinen to contend with in the rura) Districts; but, we may intimate to him, tliat should Mr. Owen be tempted to “shut up ehop,* we shailrun a private Mail, and now beg, as we are the firet advertiser, “to solicm the patronage of our friends and the public generally.”
