J. Wightman and Mr. Charles Clay at the approaching election; and, as other parties have since entered the field te the danger of the Liberal cause, this meeting was, therefore, called to teat the minds of the people on the subject, and discuss other political matters of importance. Mr. Wightman first ad- dreased the meeting in bis usually foreible and eloquent style, commenced by saying the Guvern- ment acted wrong in keeping the election back until this inclement season of the year; that suen delay was quite iu accordance with their other arbitrary and unpopular preceedings. He then alluded to Confederation—portrayed clearly and forcibly the evils which it would entail on P. E Island if we went mté the ‘proposed union with Canada; said we will be well taxed if we put ourselves in the power of the Cunadiue ; and advised the people toe pledge their representatives to vigurously oppose any terms wf union that weuld inelude this Island. When the Tory party got inte power they promised re- treuchment in the public expenditure ; but, inatead of keeping this promise, they have increased it by
