RAE A EET

Meeting at Pownal.

Pursuant to publie notice a respectable | and influential meeting of the electors of | the South Electoral District of Queen’s| County, was held at Pownal Hall, Lot 49, | on Wednesday, the 7th inst., for the pur- pose of nominating a candidate to repre- sent the said District in the Local House of Assembly, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of William Welsh, Esq. The meeting was organized by the appointment of John McKachern, Esq., Chairman, and the undersigned Secretary.

W. Welsh, Esq., who was present, ad- dressed the meeting in his usual forcible and effective manner. He gave an account of his stewardship while he represented the District, and cordially thanked the electors venerally for the honor conferred upon him as their late representative, and advised the electors to choose as their representative a local man, who would be mere interested and conversant with the local requirements ef the District.

Edward Wood, Esq., and Mr. Alex. Martin, both alternately addressed the meeting, and accused Mr. Welsh of delin- quency respecting his parliamentary duties, and forcibly and argumentatively spoke condemnatory of the actions of the present Government, to which Mr. Welsh replied in an impressive and telling speech to the satisfaction of the majority of the meeting

Then the following gentlemen were sev- erally proposed and nominated as candida- tesfor the district. Richard Smith, Esq., was proposed by Mr. William Jardine, jr., and seconded by John W. Acorn; Edward Wood, Esq., was proposed by Mr. Alexan- der Moore and seconded by Mr. Samuel Wood.

Mr. Smith thencame forward and thanked the electors for the honor conferred upon him, and in his usual modest and unassum- ing manner made a few brief and appro-

riate remarks, stating that it was not his intention to tire the meeting with a politi- cal speech, as the electors generally were quite familiar with his opinions on public atiairs. But if elected he would remind them that he would not pledge himself to support party polities, but would advocate} and support any measure eminating from any party that would be conducive to the interests and presperity ofthe District and of the Island generally.

Mr. Wood then addressed the meeting at considerable length with heroic valor and good style, and unhesitatingly nailed his colors tothe mast by designating him- self a ** Liberal Conservative.’ He stated that he was not ambitious of political honors, and, if elected, would not accept of oftice. He emphatically stated that he was actuated by purely patriotic motives, and would strenuously and indefatigably advocate reforms in the Legislature bene- ficial to this his native Island. Mr. Wood craphically pointed out what he considered the inconsistencies of the present adminis- tration, and pledged himself to oppose them t» the bitter end.

Donald Montgomery, Esq., with charac- teristic modesty, at a late hour addressed the meeting in a neat and eloquent style, and deait heavy blows on the Government, that almost stamped them out of existence. Mr. Montgomery termed the Government a cumbrous and complicated piece of machinery, and if economy and retrench- ment were not adopted that it would be ruinous to the country He further pointed out the gross inconsistencies of the Schools’ Act, and those of the Assessment Act, and his speech appeared interminable.

After the nomination of the respective Candidates, a division of the meeting was not resorted to, but the majority was for Mr. Simith.

Before the close of the meeting, the fol- lowing resolution was proposed by Mr. Nicholas Cousins, and seconded by Samuel Drake, Esq., and passed unanimously :—

Be it Resolved, That a vote of thanks be tendered to W. Welsh, Esq., for his manly and gentlemanly conduct while in the Legis- lature as Representative of the Fourth Electoral District of Queen’s County, for faithfully, honorably, and indefatigably advocating such measures as have a ten- dency to advance the interests and pros- perity of this District, and that of the Island generally, and that the Electors ex- ceedingly regret that so patriotic and useful a Representative should retire from further representing the District.

After a vote of thanks was tendered the Chairman for his admirable conduct in the chair, the meeting dispersed in the most orderly manner.

Dennis Kearney was formally received at Faneuil Hall, Boston, recen:ly. Not one-fourth of the crowd could gain en- trance. Kearney made a speech in which he eulogised Ben Butler, pronounced the Press as bing in the interest of cutthroats and politicians, and detailed the origin and vrowth of the workingmen’s movement in California, which drove the Democratic thief and the Republican robber out of the State. Kearney advised the working- man to cut loose from all political parties. Resolutions, endorsing Kearney’s views, were unanimously passed, amidst great

applause.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era,

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over hal of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELYVIN’sS CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. Al) other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughlytested !

and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CApsICcUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture of ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPstI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
