D. MACLEAN AND THE ELECTORS OF “THE FIRST DISTRICT OF QUEEN'S COUNTY.

After the nomination of Candidates on ‘Tuesday last, Mr. Duncan Maclean and

some of his cads about New London, set

themselves to work to canvas, the First District against M essrs. Coles and Laird. With this object in view, a Meeting was called on Friday by Mr. David Simpson, -~he who was on one occasion a protege of the Clique—at Millvale: it was ad- dressed by the great Duncan, who al- leged divers crimes and mis lemeanors against Mr. Coles, charging him, amongst other things, with ruining the country by voting encouragement to Agriculture, in the shape of £500 to the Royal Socie- ty—and by voting for the One-ninth Bill (which, as the reader knows, would fix the rent at a Currency rate jnstead of Sterling.) Duncan was getting along fa- mously with the Meeting, until about 4 o'clock Mr. Coles was seen approaching, unexpected, when every person present turned out and cheered him enthusiasti- cally. The valiant Maclean immediately picked up his books, journals, &c., pre- tending to be in a hurry to get home, but a sturdy fellow clenched him by the shoulder, and told him he should not stir, till Mr. Coles had refuted his calumnies to his face. ‘To his extreme mortifica- tion—-his shame and confusion—- Mr. } shattered-in a very short time the - ay, sric he had raised out of falsehood and misrepresentation ; and the discomfited

> ancan left for his home, the most odious duc hat day in Prit

We have no wish or intention to ques- tion Mr. Maclean’s right to appear again before a constituency. But we have a right to question the wisdom of any set of people selecting him to be their repre- sentative, when we remember the shame- less consistency that has marked his pub- lic conduct. Having done everything in his power, by his votes in the Assembly, to retard the prospects of the Colony,and strengthen the ascendancy of a party who. have crushed its best energies ky their oligarchical sway, he now comes before the public and tells them he will sever, if he can, the Colony from the Parent State, and have it annexed to the neighbouring Republic, oaths of allegiance to the con- trary notwithstanding. If it were worth any person’s while to notice what Mr. Duncan Maclean asserts either in or out of the Assembiy, jwe might offer a few comments on his recent proceedings. We, thought, indeed, we should have done with him as a_ public man when the House was dissolyed, for that person re- peatedly declared during the last three Sessions, that he would never again be a candidate for any constituency in the Island ; and the sa:ne decl: ration he has repeatedly made in print. Poor I uncan! his natural proneness to insincerity brings him into many a ridiculous plight!

The Civil List Bill, passed last Session, has received the Royal assent.

Fire.—On the morning of Wednesday last, the new and coinfortable Dwellin: of Mr. Donald M‘Neill, (son of the lat« Roderick M-Neill, Esq..) of Vernon Rive: was entirely Consumed by fire with all its contents, the inmates having barely time to save their lives after the alarm was first given. ‘The origin of the misfortune is supposed to be quite accidental]—and to have arisen in the following manner :— On the previous evening, one of the girls remained up, afier the rest of the family had retired to bed, for the purpose of finishing the baking of a batch of bread. —At about ten o’clock, when she finished she iucautiously, after sweeping the hearth with a birch broom, put the broom in the porch. It is supposed. that a live coal was lurking among the shreds of the broom, which igniting after- wards caused the unfortunate catastrophe. One of Mr. M‘Neill’s sisters providential- ly waking about 5 o’clock, felt a sense of suffocation from the smoke in which the room was enveloped—she gave the alarm, and ina few minutes the inmates were saved, but the fire had already obtained too great an ascendancy to enable them to get anything out of the house, save a few chairs and a set of Harness.

Der.toraBLe.—A scene of painful ex- citement occurred in Grafton Street on Wednesday last, occasioned by the de- positing of a coffin, containing the re- |. _mains of a victim of smal] pox upon the street, and remaining there at least two hours, without the elightest care or re- spect. ‘Those who passed by learned, however, that the deceased had died about two days previons—he was a tailor by trade, named Ricuarps, and had re- cently come to the city from Prince Ed- ward Island.—Halifax Recorder, Jan. 26.

To the Electors of the Third District of Prince Connty. GEN fLEMEN—

The handsome and complimen- tary terms in which I have been re quested to offer myself as a Can- didate for your suffrages, leave me little time to hesitate as to the course I should pursue ; and I therefore yield to your kind solici- tation, and beg to assure you, that should I be elected toa seat in the House of Assembly, I shall use every exertion to deserve the good opinion you have formed of me.

Very many of you, if not all, are fully conversant with the princi- ples which shall guide my political conduct in the event of my being chosen one of your Representa- tives; these principles may be briefly stated tobe: Reform in our local administration, by supporting the introduction of Kesponsible Government, which will make our Constitution more analagous to that of the Mother Country, placing us on a level with the sis- ter Colonies, and which will be not only ‘‘ not derogatory to the Crown and dignity of our Sovereign,” but will serve to unite us the more closely to the destinies of the Em- pire, and give us cause to rjoice that we are British Subjects in every sense of the word,—Protec- tion to Agriculture and the Fish- eries; and Fconomy and Care in the expenditure of the People’s Money. Unless these principles are adhered to, and followed out upon every occasion, it would be useless for this or any other coun- try to hepe for prosperity and hap- piness. Should I be honoured with the high trust which many of you design for me, the con- sistency with which I shall ad- here to and defend them, will form the proudest distinction of my po- litical career.

Your obedt. Servant,

WILLIAM W. LORD.

To the Electors of the First Dis- trict of QUEENS COUNTY. GENTLEMEN—

The Electors of the extreme end of the District having declined to nominate a

| Candidate to represent you in the ensu-

ing Parliament favorable to Responsible Government, and [ having been solicited by several respectable and influential per- sons to offer myself upon that interest, I attended a meeting on the Covehead Road, where | was proposed ard una- nimously nominated, in conjunction with Mr. Coles. From my knowledge of that gentleman’s political career, | have no he- sitation in undertaking to offer myself, more particularly as I am convinced that without the Responsible System being fully established it is in vain to attempt the remedy of either local or general grievances. :

On these grounds, and on the necessity of strengthening to the utmost at this crisis the Party which is determined to realize for the People the full extent of the British Constitution, I presume to offer myself to your notice.

I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedt. Servt.,

ALEXANDER LAIRD. New Glasgow, Jannary 25, 1850.
