This remark applies to communities as} well as to jedividuals; and the course \ we ought to take with respect ‘to the development of the resources of P, E.} Island” is of special importance at this}

juacture. Everyone cau now see that.} if the early residents of (reorgetown |

people of Priuce Edward Island were not | more alive to the true interests of the Province.

gome reason to fear that it will be so Citizens should have crowded to St. Patrick's Hall by hundreds to bear dis- | eussed a subject of such paramount | importauce. But only a few dozens put} in aD appearance ; and the Doctor had to deliver bis excellent ideas to a beggarly array of empty benches. the conduct of the Doctor towards his colleague has beep strangely ungenerons, should not have weighed with the publie in this igstence; for while we may regret | that he is doing his best to make bimsel! a political impossibility, we need not withhold our re-pect for his views on an important matier on which he is well fitted to advi-e.

Ih our opinion Dr. Jenkins has made | a very correct diaguosis of the case, and |

}

has perscribed thé proper course o! treatment. Agriculture—the farm—is the basis on which we must build. Av

improvement iu the culture of the soil, is of the first importance ; aod every farm shou!d, in a sevse be a factory—a factory in which all or aearly all the hay,and vats, aod potatoes, and turoips, grown withiw its borders should be worked up inté eggs, butter, cheese, -horses, fat cattle, beef, pork. mutton, etc., and so marketed. Instead of every year ship- ping off all the ‘raw material” we have to spare, we should send away a compara- tively smal] proportion of it, We should also establish factories in which sucb articles as we require— particularly those made out of farm products—would be maoufactured. Inu this direction we have scarcely yet madea beginning. We import every year a large quantity of of kwit woolen goods, such as linders, drawers, hose, etc. Why should we not have a knitting factory in which the wool of our sheep would be profitably disposed of at home and our own people com- fortably clothed ? And why should we not compete in this line with any other Provinee of the Domiuion, aud send P. E. Island woolen goods to clothe the fishermen of Newfoundland and the railway meu and miners of the great Northwest? Our product of wool might be increased ten-fold, and numbers of farmera who reside in the interior of the Island, where mussel-mud cannot had, require large addiiiens to their flocks to restore the fertility of their worn-out lands. We also, import, every year, a large quantity of soap—why should we uot have a soap factory to supply our need of this article. We have lots of grease which might be pro- fitably used, <A flax factory, a hat factory, a brick factory, and other fac- tories might well be provided in addition to the cloth, cheese and starch, and boot factories, which buve obtained a footing here.

Now is the time. The National Policy unquestionably affords decided advantages to manufacturers; the neigh- boriog Provinces are availing them- selves of these advantages; and once they get their factories well established, it will be too late for us to begin; for it is well known that young aud struggling factories canuot compeie on equal terms with those which are older and stronger.

To the full development of our re- sourees, improved means of communica- tion with the mainlaud are absolutely necessary ; and we must agitate until we obtain those means. We have here a most fertile spot of earth. Our summer | weather is delightful; and though our winter is long, we have compeusating advantages in being nearér the sea and nearer the markets than our fellow- coumirymen of the great Northwest and of other parts of Canade. Let us have faith io the Island apd in i's future. It is capable of sustaining profitably, at least three times as many inhabitants as it now bas. Let us stand by the Island Home, and’ work for it on the plan here indicated.

mentative style. He evidently did not endeavor tostudy what would take so much, as what was true. He did not consult the popular taste in regard to elocution either. He allowed no digressionsa ad captandum vulgus. The vulgus were not there. They had other ‘‘metal more attractive.” A style of rampant oratory, unburdened by either culture or knowledge, is too often, in this town of ours, the “Sone thing needful.” { trust Mr. LePage will never allow himself to adopt the “‘tempestuous” style, which seems, unfortunately, to be so well adapted to attract the multitude who prefer amuse- ment to instraction. In thia hia first attempt, if he erred at all, it was in being “too tame.” This was only befitting mudesty in a young man appearing on public platform for the first time in his native town. We could not imagine Mr. LePage from what we know of his character ind his tastes, resorting to artifice to make his lecture attractive. The unstudied ibsence of all appearance of pretence, made it even more interesting to all who really valued a lecture beautifully and accur-

stely composed, distinctly read, and ‘containing matter highly edifying, ind indicating a degree of origin-

ality, refreshing alike from its intrinsic value, as from its great rarity from a Char- l.ttetown platform,

The divisions of the subject I do not attempt to give. It would be impossible to give a full account of a lecture containing so much thatis valuable, in a newspaper article. It is sufficient to say that the aim and place of the poet were clearly set before the audience, that the lecturer illustrated his subject by reading several quotations from the poets, and the impres- sions left by his lecture on the hearers, did much honor to the talented young man whose maiden attempt direeted to so lofty a subject.

A vote of thanks was proposed by Messrs. W. Kennedy and J. T. Mellish, M. A., which was heartily tendered at the close of tue meeting. Remarks were made by Charles Palmer, Esq., Hon. D. Laird and Professor Anderson. They expressed regret that so excellent a lecture should be listened to by so few

CORRESPONDENCE.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions or slatements of our correspondents.

The Rights of Crapaud.

To the

Sir,—A communication in the last Pres- byterion signed ‘‘A Lover of Fair Play,” has aroused the dormant energies of the people of Crapaud to a sense of their wants. As | am one who has a small staka both in | farming and mercantile persuits, I feel | convineed that the writer—be he far from | or near to this locality—hasa ‘‘deep sense of the wants of the people.”

The inhabitants of Crapaud have had to grapple with many serious difficulties, and drawbacks befere they got their harbor suf- |ficiently dredged to admit vessels of large tonnage to come up to the wharves.

As soon as that want is accomplished they heve a large surplus of produce on hand in the fall that cannot be ex- ported for want of better steam communi- cations to and from Shed,

I think Mr. Editoz, that the people of Crapaud and the surreuoding districts poled a large number of votes in favor of the Liberal-Conservatives. Many of them had | the expectation that a railroad would run te Crapaud. But this is not my expecta- tioa at the present time.

When we look at the sister ports of Sum- merside, Georgetown, and Charlottetown, with railroads and steamers, and our port only with a steamer running to Charlotte- town, and then as the writer says knocked off the line in the last of October ; it makes me feel as thongh Victoria was blotted off the map of P. E. Island. But these things must not be. A sufficient boat must be procured to place on the above routes. We cannot stand with our hands fettered. Mercantile men cannot afford to lay on their oars dragging outa kind of an exist.
