A LOYAL PORTY-NINE MAN. Woodv.lle, Lot 49, July 13 1861. W. 8. POPE'S LETTER.

Pope, alarmed at these dreadful indications of Catholic ‘ascendancy,’ and overwhelmed by the most pious apprehen- sions for the safety of the Protestant religion —** Wherefore it is that I des re to place the Protestants on their guard.”’

Now, we shall briefly examine his premises before we dis- enss the general merits of his letter. It is not true ihat the Liberal members in the present Assembly are under Catholic influence. Catholics have rarely, if ever, in this Island at least, taken religion into consideration in a political contest— they, asa body, vote fora candidate if they know that his political principles harmonize with their own. Mr. Pope ad- mits that the Catholiesare all Liberals,—he cannot show that the Protestants are all Conservatives, but he would like very much to see them such. He attempts to make it appear that if a Protestant represented a Catholic district, that Protestant must be under Catholic influence and the control of the Priest- hood, He adwits that the Catholics have a decided majority in the districts represented by Mr. Thomas Owen and Mr. James Yeo; and we think it is quite sufficient to mention the fact, to show the fallacy of his argument, that ‘Acy are nol under the control 0° the Priesthood.

As tu the statement that Catholic influence, where it was predominant, was vigorously exerted at the Jast election against members of the majority, except in Mr. Yeo’s district —Mr. Pope's own admissions furnish the best contradiction of it. All the Catholics are Liberals, be admits,—in Mr. Owen's district the Catholics have a decided majo ity, he also admits. Now, he knows very well that if the Catholics vigor- vusly exerted themseives in that district at the last election Mr. Owen would not have had the ghost of a chance of hold- ing a seat in the House. As itis, he got that seat only by the help of a corrapt majority. Again, if the Catholics had vigorously exerted themselves in the Murray Harbour District and at Georgetown, the Liberal candidates would have been returned for both these places. Indeed, the Georgetown Liberal candidate, Mr. A. McDonald, was returned; but the corrupt means which were used to unseat Mr. Ronald Walker were used to unseat Mr. McDonald ; and the majority of tie present House of Assembly owe their position to the most flagrant political trickery. If the Catholic vote had been cast to the fullest extent in the places we have mentioned, Me- Donald, Uarris, and Walker would now be members of the Assembly. A Liberal might also have been returned for the Port Hill District if the Catholics had rallied round Mr. War-

b irton, as they should have dune ; and Mr. Pope cannot deny |

that if the Cat ol ¢ Priexchood were very desirous to have an

ascendancy in the Legislature, old Mr. Yeo might bave been | j easily routed frum the district fur which fe was returned. | war : .
