Sir; lbave read the Resolutions published in you'r Num-

Mr. William Clark, of Darnley, is one of those individuals

Now, in

_ llis “ family Compact” Reso- lutions, then, passed at “ a meeting of the constituency of

“ Princetown and Royalty,” is but one ofthe many contrivnn- ces which Mr. W. Clark and his family have used, and will

no doubt persist in using, until the year 1846, if the Island continue so long to possess 9. Legislative Assembly. In these Resolutions, the principal dish Mr. W. Clark has cho- sen for his grievance is the printed Bill, as read in the House ofAssembly last Session,intended to provide a remedy for damage done to property by riotous assemblies, and for

defraying expenses incurred from impeding the service of legal

process; and in his first Resolution he states that “ no “ such riotous assemblies ever take place in this Island.” In one of the Resolutions it is stated, that “ Mr. Bcairsto, one of the Representatives for the Royalty, is absent, as is believed, upon official duty.” In this much ofthe Resolu- tions there is some truth, and as I am rather doubtful whe- ther, in their next Resolutions, they will enter into all the trivial incidents which befel Mr. Beairsto during his absence, I will relate one. His Official duty being to effect “ the ser- vice of legal process” on some persons at Townships Nos. One and Two, he, with several ol'the constahulary ot'Pi-ince County, were impeded in their duty by a mob of more than 200 persons, all armed with bludgeons, and who threatened his life, if he, and the constables also, it they attempted to serve legal process on either of those Townships. Whe- ther this iiiaiiifestntiou of these people arose from the luv timidation OfIlieir ringleaders (three or four notorious ruf- fiaus and bullies living on Lot One), or whether it was some ofthe li‘uits ofthe labour ofone of Mr. Clark’s sons, who spent some time last summer hawking grievances through that section of the County, I can‘t say. Certain it is, they impeded the Sheriff, and the consequence will be, that as the supremacy ()l the Law will be upheld at any expense, some Hundreds of Pounds will, no doubt, be expended iii enforcing the service 01 the legal processos with which the Sheriff'qu sent. - The First Resolution further states “the power which it “(the intended Act) places in the bands ofthc Magistracy, 4‘ as highly unconstitutional and dangerous.” This is ans— wered by the fact, that it is a mere transcript of an Act of the lu‘ipcrial Parliament of Great Britain. I feel I need comment but little, if at all, on the observations of “a [inni- ber of gentlemen,” who spoke to the first Resolution. The low-lived insoleucc with which the Governor is designated as a proprietary agent— the foul absurdity oftl'ie idea, and the dastardly manner in which it is expressed—leaves its credence with none but the ignorant rabble. Insolence, and that (ised towards the highest in authority for the time being, is an indispensable ingredient in the liarangues ofthe mal- conteut. Mr. Clark, with his family, had better stick to “ Re- sponsible Government.” This is something new to the peo- ple oftl‘iis Island ; it wouldinakc a capital subject for agi- tation, and if properly managed, in the hands of such men as Wr. W. Clark, the unfortunate tenantry might be “grilled” for afew years more with such an admirable “fill of the \Visp. The circumstances of its becoming a “still more perplexed question” in Nova Scotia, of its never having been understood in Canada, and of its now being exploded in that Province, should discourage no men with such fertile imaginations as Mr. W. Clark and his let them feed the tenantry with for a few years, and they may again tinction of “M. P. P.” added to their family honors.
