Wednesday, December 5, 1855.

Wiuuvss might have been ou‘rmpriv_ate _opi- niou as to the propriety of in ucing into Prince Edward Island with its small amount of

pulation, and very moderate amount of talent

ispersed throughout it, the system called Re- sponsible or Departmental Gcvernnient in all its latitude ; yet, when it had become the con- stitution of t e Colony, we were IIIIPOIOG. to make the best of it. A change of some kind was absolutely necessary» and. -_I it would have eventually come to this at last, it was, perhaps, as well to adopt it at once. and let the errors of difierent Administrations bring with them their own remedies. so that in time, that which was anomalous would be reduced to order,what was inconvenient be laid aside and amendments introduced, wherever lound practicable. We are not now about to give our opinion as to whether the Island has or has not been benefit- ed by the new order of things. We still hold to our purpose ofgiving the present Adminis- tration fair-play, allowing them to carry out their measures according to their own plans, and if the result should e favorable, to give them fair credit for their exertions: and we should be disposed to go further, even though not attended with success, yet, if conceived and executed with it view to the public good, and that only, not to withhold our meed ofpraise. But what is Responsible or l)ep:irtinentai.l Go- vernment .’ We ask this question, because it would seeui, that oitlier we misunderstand our conteiuporury, the Ialandrr, or we materially didcr from him as to the duties and powers of the Lieut. Governor. 'l‘he great iuipcdiiiieiit to the improvement of the Colonies previous to the change, was, that their Governors had too much power, tli-at. though they had as Executive Coun- cil, it was inelfcctive, the Governor might or might not follow its advice; nay, might even not in opposition to it,—thc Councillors might I'esign,but the next day. he could appoint others in their stead. and neither Governor nor Coun- cil wiis reponsiblo for acts or advice. 'I.‘o reme- dy tnis, the members of the Executive Council are now taken from the two houses of I.eg'isl:i- ture, the majority being of the representative body, and all holding oilices of trust or emolu- ment, whic'i are to he resigned, as soon as the either voluntarily or otherwise quit their seats in Council. Upon these Councillors then, dc- volved the actual domestic rovernmcnt of the Colony. 'l.‘lic Governor stun s in place of the Sovereigp, and, like her, must. we suppose, act wholly y the advice of his Council, who, and ‘not lie, are responsible for the con ueiicos. The Iflarirler seems to think otherwise. and holds the Lieut. Governor responsible for many of the sliort-comings—in his opinion—of the Go- vernment. Now, we should like to know where the line is to be drawn .' what is the description ofacts for which the Lieut Governor is to be personall responsible. either as having emana- ted froin iinself or having been advised by his Council oughtnot to have uret with his sanction? and what not? We confess, that as we under- stood Responsible Governmcnt, Mr. Coles and his adherents are liable to all the censure and entitled to all the credit that can attach or is

due to the measures of the Adiiiiiiistriition. -

How far under the existing constitution of the Colon is a Governor warranted,-—or is he war- rant ut all—-in acting either without or in opposition to the advice of his Executive Coun- cil! As this is a question which will iillcct all Administration, it is iiuportant that it should be definitely answered, and the talented Editor of the Islander could not do better. we think, than give his idea ofniattor. Acquainted with the premises upon which he builds his argu- ment, we shall be the better enabled to ascer- tain whether his conclusion be correct or the reverse. It is no part of our business, neither is it our intention to defend the actions of the Government. emanate from what source they may, but, enjoying, as we do, a respectful ac- quaintanccship with his Excellency, we deem it but a matter ofjusiicc to him to say. that we firmly believe, that he has no other object in view, than the welfare of the Colony. If the acts of the Government are not altogether what we could wish, Mr. Daly is the la_st person we should think of charging. with_being the origi- nator of them, and we can easily conceive, that iiiuch is done and more omitted to be done than wouldbe the case were His Excellency invested with the power enjoyed by his predecessors pre- viously to 1851-

THE 'l'llIlSUNE, while surrendering no jet of its proper independence co-operated eurnesily and ardently with the Whig party so long as its vitnlily was pre- served. When in I850-2 an attempt was made to inierpnliie slave-hunting into its creed. we siernly resisted that iiiiposiiion; when, at the close of the last Presidential canvass, it was seen that u lriige portion of the Whigs preferred in defeat their own party rather Ili’llI allow its Anti-Slavery wing to share its iriumpli, even under it conservative Chief on a Pro- Slriii-.r_v platform, we knew and proclairned that the Whi«_v_ party was no more Subsequent events, in. cluding the rise mid culmination of the Know-Nothing conspiracy , and the speedy ubsorpiion therein of the who e force of Pro-Slavery \’VhiggIsiii, only confirmed our uudcubiing iiniicipsiions. With no sickly la- nrentiiiions, therefore, for the inevitably bygone, but

cheer, have we hailed the beginning and watched the progress of that mighty RI£I'UllI.lCAN movement which, impelled by ilie pertidious violation of the Missouri Compact, and stimulated by the astounding outrngss whereof the rights of the Free Settlers of Kansas Iiave been the victiuis—by the repeated and utter viii.-iiion of their elections by an armed mob collected by conspiracy and hurled suddenly upon them fropi ilie border counties of the neighbouring Slave State, is destined to sweep away the land- marks of old pririy feuds, and uriie the true hearts and strong arms of the free-souled in one mighty
