FOR ‘THE EXAMINER.

To the Electors of the First District of Prince County. GENTLEMEN —

Mr. Lawrence W. Gall, a subordinate Land Agent, has put out a unique address to yeu,the electots uf the First District of Prince County,in which he tenders his sr- vices, and broadly intimates much inher- ent ability to represent your own incom- mon with the general interests of this co-

jony, in the lower branch of the Legisla-

ture; and solicits your suffrages in his favor. This dark-colored individual,with much modesty, insinuates, by the tone of

his pert Jucubration, that he has most

minutely surveyed the entire structure of the British Constitution—mastered and digested its principles—comprehends its checks and guards—-sees with an acute

imental vision its adjustments and finely:

poised balances, and in one word, con-

‘versantly holds the fine workings of its

excellent machinery in the hollow in his brain. Thus assumingly fortified, and armed to the scull, this gentleman in bronze, in the plenitude of his political and socia! wisdom, and imbued with the chivalric spiri* of a veritable zany, march-

es with a tread of mightand majesty into the political lists—flourishes his mental weapons, and stands in the elective tour- nament arena of Prince County, with his superior’s revt rol! in his grasp, as the champion and saviour of this colony from corruptions oul of sight, and as the en- lightener general and preceptor to the British North American provinces, as to the best method of colonia} rule, but more particilarly to that of the application and practice of the responsiblescheme. Gen- tlemen, don’t you beliéve him,—he has neither acumen necessary fora statesman nor the political knowledge fitting him to be your representative, —he is trammelled by influences of superiors, and for your interests he cares not,—other and ulterior motives press upon his mind. This great pretender, this stalwart statesman of self- commended political purity—this imma- culate supporter and defender of British freedom—this evasive protector of your rights, perceiving through lenses not his own the legitimate power which the new system put solely in your possession, for the management of your own affairs, and seeing the pecuniary evils which Res- ponsible Government, as practised with triusaphant success im oursister provinces, and now taking root here, entails upon a certain batch of barnacles, his friends and sgasters, over whom until now you had no contro!: and finding this very control had hurled them from the posi- tions which. they held against your will, in the Jocal Government, which can now

only be formed and sanctioned by a ma-|

jority inthe Assembly, chosen by the enfranchised freedom of Electors,—he, at the bidding of his superiors, seized the rent-roli—numbered his birds—wrote his

of Prince County, whose sweaty toils he gathers when the harvest is ripe, and de- mand your votes for his return to the Assembly,—and this return he, poor man, desires, that he may be the great assas- sinator of that Responsible Government now in practice, and which you had par- ticularly and Specially returned Warbur- ton to assist in introducing and perpet- uating in this Island. Electors of Prince County ! I know you will visit this traitor to the cause—this mass of vanity and political deceit—with a severe chastise- nent, and feeling your good sense insult- ed by his imperative appeal to your suf- frages,you,would despite the recordof your names upon his master’s rent scrip, re- ject him with signal defeat; and teach the carrier and collector of a proprietor’s rent roll, that you are men, conscious and jealous of your British birth rights, and will exercise your elective privileges ac- cording to your own will and judgment, although the rent roll be enforced at the hustings where you manfully record your votes for Warburton. In doing this, you, the independent Yeomanry and [lectors of the first District of Prince County, will assist to serve successfully the common good,and arm the friends of Constitution- al freedom against the private malice and public machinations,and subtle designs of the fallen party, who always denied you your common and just political rights. Return, Gentleman, of Prince County, return Mr. Lawrence W. Gall to his little suburban cottage and to his Theodolite, and bid him survey his folly in the small minority he numbers.

News from the W seb j

Tar Hon. Mr. Pope, who arrived in Town yesterday from Prince county, has com- municated to us most cheering accounts of the state of public feeling in that part of the Island in reference tothe approaching elections. On Monday Jast about 400 people assembled at Mrs. Barrett’s, Lot 19, at least three fourths of whom pro- nounced themselves strongly in favour of the Liberal cause, and will of course vote to a man for the Liberal candidates. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Pope, Coles, Warburton and Lord, on the one side ; and by messrs. Rae and Mont- gomery on the other. ‘The editor of the Islander was present, and though urged to come forward, and substantiate the calumnies he has been constantly eircu- lating to the prejudice of the Government and the Assembly—preferred the safety of inglorious silence, and held an obscure place in the’ crowd.

main body of the meeting, and having mustered their forces, who were chiefly Duncan Maclean’s New London “yahoos” —attempted to cram down their ‘throats every falsehood propagated by the Is- lander for the past twelve months. Mes- sers. Coles, Pope and warbarton, hav- ing given their own meeting full explana- tions touching the various political topies of interest—came over to where the Speaker and Montgomery were entertain- ing their audience, and the way in which they were ‘used up,” in one or two effec- tive speeches from,the Liberal side, was a caution to such politica) charlatans, In fact many of their own friends felt ashamed at the manner in which their treachery was exposed.

At St. Eleanor’s on the following day, when Messrs. Warburton’s and Gaul’s nomination took place, the expression of public opinion in favour of the Jiberals was most marked and significant. The Court House was densely crowded, and Messrs. Pope and Warburton addressed the electors amidst the most unbounded applatise, .After the close of the Sherifl’s Court the discussion commenced in good earnest,— it was conducted on the one side by Messrs. Pope, Coles, Warburton, Lord and Adams, and by Messrs. Palmer, T. H, Haviland, and Rae on the other. side. The latter gentleman was hooted out of the Court House for his tergiver- sation and renegadism, and the two for- mer were listened to with great reluct-

ance, and were frequently groaned. At}

the close of the debate the Liberals were enthusiastically cheered, and the “ Muz- ziers” in genera), and the “ Pensioner” in particular—as Mr. Adams styled Mr. Haviland and his friends from Charlotte- town, because they objected to his ad- dressing the electors whilst the Sheriff's Court was open, he not being a voter in Mr. Warburton’s District— were treat- ed to. a perfect hurricane of groans. The learned Doctor kept aloof from the melee, though repeatedly called by the Hon. Mr. Lord,—and of course passed unscathed by the fire through which Mr. Haviland, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Rae had to pass. Mr. Adams, familiarly known as “ John Bull,” gave the late Secretary a dressing which he will not easily forget.

At Bedeque, Tryon, and Grand River, other meetings Were numerously attended, and public epinion manifested most de- cidedly in favour of the Liberal candi- dates. The Obstructives—smarting un- der the castigation they received at St.

from those meetings, to avoid further

punishment. It is true they made a

melancholy attempt at getting up a meet- ing, on their own hook, at Tryon,but when the friends of Messrs. Lord and Pope,whio were accompunied by a Band of music, and a veriety of flags, were aware of the factof the Obstructives being in their neighovrhood,
