ELECTORAL DISTRICT 01" COUNTY. Gnmunan :

KING‘S

Having been nominated at several influential meet- ings recently held in your District, as a candidate for your nuflragee at the forthcoming Elections, and the House of Assembly having been new dissolved, I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to say that I acceept these nominations. In politics, I need scarcely any that I am a Liberal from conviction, and to that party I will give my hearty support in the future as in the pest. All measures having a

tendency to ameliorate the condition of the people. and to promote the prosperity of the Colony, will receive my warmest support. Believing that self- government is one of the greatest privileges that can be enjoyed by a people, 1 have been, and still am. opposed to the Quebec scheme of Confederation. I am, is fact, opposed to any closer olitieal connec- tion with Canada than that which a ready exists in a common allegiance to the British throne; but if the Imperial Government should hereafter submit for our consideration another plan of Colonial Union, based upon more favourable terms than those of the Quebec scheme, I would deem it my duty to refer the name to you before taking any definite action thereon.

Should I succeed. Gentlemen, in my election, whilst I shall always be anxious to nerve, to the best of my nHlity, the general interests of the Colony, my attention will be more especially devoted to the local wants of the District. In conclusion, I will say that, if at any time during my representation. 1 should be no unfortunate as to forfeit your confid- once. or act contrary to your views and wishes, upon any question of local or generel interest. I would deem it incumbent upon me, upon being unequivoc. ally uotiled of the fact, to immediately resign and place my seat at your disposal.

I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant. EDWARD REILLY. Ch'totvn, Feb. 1st. 1867.

“ An Honest Conservative,” whose letter appears in to-day’s paper, ealls our attention to the lion. J.C. Pope's speech in Temperance Hall, a few evenings ego. Of course the “Leader” leaves himself open to a lanibasling at our bands, which

he richly merits. The Patriot, however, has alrea- dy been so severe upon him, and hie forlorn condi- tion, with his shattered hopes and schemes around him, are such an to call rather for commisseration than punishment. We leave him, therefore. to hie own thoughts, as the most rondign chastise- ‘mctit that could be inflicted upon him. His froth and hie venom are perfectly harmless, and it is ob- vious to everyone who was present at the meeting that the Leader's political eteck-in-trado was com- pletely exhausted. and his cherished and cunning schemes frustrated, when he had to resort ton tirade of scurrilous abuse and falsehood in reference to absent parties. “ An Ilonest Conservative” has simply shown the ground-work upon which the “ Leader " attempted to base his political salvation, and the netttre of his personal abuse. The simple statement of the facts is e sudlcient defence of us and the principles we advocate; and we leave it to an intelligent public to say whether or not the un- measured nhuse of the Leader, both in Temperance Hall and the columns of the Islander, have been de- served by us or not, and whether such abuse is likely to enhance him in public estimation. an: - _- ___...m :23:

The prisoners will be sent to-night to Kingston.

This is lamentable, but it is no less true ; nor can we blame the Brotherhood at large for the fact. Confidence is completely destroy- ed, aud nothing can revive it but actual fighting in Ireland. It might have been otherwise, but it is too late to mend ourfaults now.-N. Y. Irish People.

To the Electors of (lie 13! Electoral Dis- trict of Amy's County. ENTLEMENz—Ths House of Assembly having been dissolved by Proclamation of His Lxccllency the Lieutenant Governor, you will, on the 26th of the present month, he called upon to elect two Members to represent your interests in the Lower Branch of the Legislature. It is a matter of regret that the rind of the you selected is one an inconvenient both for ‘lectors and Candidates; but the Government alone are responsible for this. and also for the additional serious inconvenience which they have un- necessarily imposed upou a large number of the Electors of King's County, by appointing the General Election to be held on the day by law ordained for the sitting of the Sn- preme Court in Georgetown. Grand Jurors. I‘etit J urors. Suitoni and Witnesses must either attend at Georgetown and thus be deprived of their franchise. orthcy mustnogleetihcir duties, run the risk of being fined. or poatpone the trial of their causes and euffcr inconvenience and expense.

The recent elections. of members of the Legislative Coun- cil indicate an entire absence of road lencc in the Govern- ment. The strange want of cordiality which for some time

set Ills existed and been openly evinced between the mem~ re of the Government. has been little calculated to inspire the conviction that the affairs of the country can any longer be safe in their keeping. Divided among themselves. con- stantly forgetful of the first principles of Responsible Govern- ment. having no confidence in each other individuliy. how can they expect you to have confldencein them collectively i

I thank you for the very cordial reception which you ex- tended to me when I visited the District and held ublic meetings last week and in the month of July last. '1‘ e as- surancos of support which I then received were most gratify- ing to me. and. in accordance with the invitation almost unanimously given. I again odes myself with confidence as a candidate for your nuffragee It will be my sincere desire. should I be again returned as your representative. to devote myself in, I trust. a spirit of moderation. to the furtherance and support of all measures calculated to advance the gem-r- el interests of the Island or supply the local wants of the District. I hope to see the Education Act altered and re- modelled in many respects; I think that the Teachers should be placed in a better and more independent position with respect to the paymcn t of their salaries. and that the mode of melting assessments for building Schools and other edu- cational purposes should be simplified. so as to render the office of a Trustee less burdensome and dangerous than it is at present. The provisions of the Land Purchase Bill should besxtanded as much as ssible, and efforts made to induce the yet remaining Proprietors of rented 'l‘ewnshi Lands to sell to the Government. This mcasere of the Li rnl Party has been new adopted by its opponents. who have failed to

reduce any other one equally good. Had the Loan Bill been allowed to pass. it would have proved a very valuable adjunct to the Land Purchase Bill; particularly at the pie- sent time, and enabled the Government to pay the purchase money for the Cunard Estate. without that serious inconve- nience to the mercantile community which has been caused. and will yet be caused by the mode adopted, and. moreover. would have enabled them to resell to the Tenanvry at a low- er figure than under present circumatanccs they can, perhaps. nfl'ord to do. The enlargement of trade with the.United States and other countries. the improvement of the system of roadmiehing, the general extension of the benefits of Steam communica- tion as far as possible to all parts of the Island. the encour- agcmcnt of t o fisheries. an increase of efllcicncy in all branches of the Public Service. as well as a careful economy in the expenditure of the Public Revenue. are all objects which will require and be well worthy of the asthma atten~ tion of the incoming Legislature. I am, as ou know. an opponent to the proposed Confed- eration of t in Island with the other British North American Provinces. I have always felt confident that the Imperial Government would not compel us to adopt the scheme so long an we clearly and pointedly evinced our repugnnnce to it. The Bill now before the Imperial Government confirms this 0 iniom—it leaves it optional with the inhabitants of the Is'an to confederate or remain out 3 and I hope that n suf- ficiently large majority of members opposed to the measure will be returned at the coming Election to prevent any dan- ger of its consummation through local Legislation.

I have the honor to be. Gentlemen, Your ob't Serv't. JOSEPH HENSLBY, Charlottetown. 2d Feb'y. 1801.

ENTLEHBN ;-As you have done roe the honor to nominate me at five Meetinga in different Polling Di- visions ef the Distrii t. which nomination was responded to in two instances bv hundreds of Electors. and in the other three, by a roportion which convinces me that I am the choice of t e people. I feel that it is my duty to odor as a Candidate at the comic Election. My nomination in the more gratifying, an it is t o voluntary not of a large. wealthy and ititclligent District. without regard to Creed or l‘arty. My polio on the Land Question is to a post any measure which wi 1 convert the leasehold into free old with the least ex ass to the public. My views on Confederation are do. eitlfdly Anti-Confederate. I held that "union is strength" only when the parties are united by common sympathy and interest, which is not so in our case. In the present state of the public mind. both here and in
