General Execrion 1x Nova Scotia.—The Legislatury of Nova Scotia has been dissolved, and writs issued for a new election, to take place on the 22d instant. The Tories of that Province appear to be in 2 furious temper at the shortness of the time allowed for canvassing, as they did not seems to calculate on having the election before Summer or Autumn, The Liberals, on the contrary, are in high spirits at their prospects of success. The Leader of the Government, the Hon. William Young, has issued an address to his Jate con- stituents, the people of Inverness, in which he ably reviews the measures of the Administration, and meets and refutes the objections urged against it. We make two or three quo- tations from the address. It appears the Tories of the sister province, like the same gentry here, complain of a small salary being given to the Governor's private Secretary. Mr. Young observes as follows on that point :—

“Tt has been gravely urged that we ought to have with. ‘held a salary from the Governor’s private S:cretary ; but ‘‘ why should the present Governor, who is deservedly popular, ‘be placed in a worse position than his predecessors, and “above all, why should the Government and the Legislature ‘‘ yield to the suddea change of opinion and the factious “opposition of one or two disappointed men.”

The Government of Nova Scotia appears to have commit- ted the same sin that the Government of this Colony did, namely, the dismissal from office of Tory’ Commissioners, We recommend to the attentive perusal of all, the concluding sentence of the following extract in reference to that sub- ject :—

“We were arraigned for displacing a few of the Tory ‘‘ Commissioners of Annapolis, but we have a memorial from “the Custos and a large number of the Magistrates and * leading men of the county approving of the act, and a Gos ‘‘ vernment is not worthy of the name that has not the vi “to protect its friends when they are wronged and insulted.” But here is a nice little bit for Mr. J. J. Fraser, one of the “indignant” people of Saint Eleanor’s. A postmaster at Windsor was dismissed from office for opposing the election of the Provincial Secretary. A postmaster at Saint Eleanor’s was dismissed for a similar offence. In the former case wo have heard of no * indignation meeting ” as yet, although the dismissal took place a long while ago; in the latter case, wé all know there has been a rebellion on a smal] scale, which, however, resulted in no further damage than the tarring of houses, and the forcible removal of sign-boards. J.J. Fraser- and all his sympathisers proclaim their constitutional right to oppose the Government and at the same time hold office under it. What says the Attorney General of Nova Scotia on that important “constitutional” question? Hear him :— “The Government were charged, too, with the dismissal of *the Postmaster at Windsor, but I do not hesitate to avow “ that the principle we then acted on we are determined to “adhere to as the British rule, and that the subordinate ofi- “cers of Government who oppose it must be content to re- “sign or to lose their places. When Conservatives we ask “not their support—we insist only on their neutrality.”

Let all petty Tory office-holders keep the above extract in remembrance, for the principle it lays down is sure to be car-

ried out in the Government of this Colony as well as in that of Nova Scotia.

_ Repormye tae Derartes or tre Asseunty.—We comple!s in this day’s issue the publication of the Escheat debate. We regret that the whole of it has not been sooner given to our readers, but for this delay we are not to blame, os we have given publicity to the matter as fast as we could procure it, There are a great many other important debates, the reports of which have not yet reached the printing office, such as, the debate on the Council Bill; on the Incorporation Bill; on Roads, Bridges and Wharfs; on the Bank Bill; on the Winter Mail service; on the Temperance Petition, and on many other subjects which we cannot at present remember. We can scarcely say whether there is any intention to report these debates, as the printer to the Assembly has not received a line of them, or of any other matter, except the conclusion of the Escheat debate, since the prorogation of the House— now a period of three weeks. We doubt whether there would be much use in publishing them at this late day, after the Session, as the public interest which at first attached to them has nearly ceased to be felt. If they are not published, there will be a considerable saving effected. And bere it may be proper to correct a statement made by Haszard’s Gazette, in its issue of the 25th April. That paper said:—“The exe peuize attending the present system (of reporting), which will not fall short of £200, has not been attended with apy bene~ fit.” We will not at present discuss the advantages or dis-. advantages of “ the system,” but we must assure our cotem-. porary: that he aoa y astray as to “the expense,” The amount actually paid for reporting the Assembly's ea. down to the present time is as follows = To the Reporter, - To the Printer,
