COL. GRAY’S MANIFESTO TO HIS LATE CONSTITU- | ENTS.

Tu tast Zs/ander contains a Jetter addressed to the electors of the fourth district of Queen’s County, from the pen ofa gentleman who is styled by courtsey, ** Lieut. Col. Gray,” and who occupied tue honourable post of Leader of the Ob- | etructives in the late Assembly, in which there is a good deal of angry and vehement writing, withoutanuch regard for logic, reason or matter of faet, in reference to the dissolution of the {fouse on Saturday week last. Weadmit the hon. gentleman is a person of some importance, and partly for that reason we shall give his letter a short notice; but chiefly because our doing so will afford us an opportunity of saying some things which might otherwise have escaped our memory.

Referring to the dissolution, he says it was ‘* more arbitrary than anything in the worst times of the old despotism.” W hat “ despotism *’ does the Leader of the Opposition refer to? Is it that of the old Family Compact sway ?~—the ‘ Family” of which he is a scion, and of which he and his political as- sociates of the present day are on all occasions and in all places the apologists, and are so anxious for a return to the institutions of their ‘‘ times’? Well, it is worthy of note that such ex- cellent testimony has been adduced to prove that the immediate predecessors of the party now in power were agang of despots. Lut what makes the act of dissolation an ‘ arbitrary proceed- ing?’? Has the Leader of the Opposition read constitutional Jaw, and made himself familiar with parliamentary practice ? Will he deny that the Governor had the power to dissolve the Jiouse? Will he deny that euch a proceeding was unavoidable from the position in which parties stood at the opening of the Jlouse on the 17th to itsextinctionon the 19th? Did not Mr. Palmer and other members of the Opposition—including, if we mistake not, Mr. Gray himself—admit that if neither side would choose a Speaker, there was no alternative but a disso- lution? We have been told that the Government side of the Hlouse ought to have selected a Speaker or have resigned. But why was it more incumbent on that side to make the selec- The Government had no

tion than it was on the other side? more control of the majority than they had of the minority. | And if they had resigned, how could the minority of fourteen, | out of a House of thirty, form a Government? How, even, | could they have chosen a Speaker? Not one of the fifteen would serve ; and supposing the minority, who had taken upon themselves the arduous task of forming a Government before a Llouse of Assembly was organized, had consented to take a Speaker from amongst themselves, why the fifteen then in op- position coald have tripped them up at ence, and made them resort to a dissulation. It is therefore nonsense and humbug for Mr. Gray or any one else of his party to denounce an act which was inevitable, no matter whether Liberals or Tories were in office.

The Leader of the Opposition informs his very irtelligent friends at Belfast, with that regard for vague and general as- sertions, uttered in a frantic spirit, which characterises poli- ticians of the spasmodic sehool—that ‘‘The history of the Go- vernment of this Island during the past twelve months is before them ;”’ and we are confident the knowledge it imparts would be.as serviceable to those wel! informed electors as if the said history were behind them ; and when the gallant *‘ Colonel ”’ adds : ** It needs no pen of mine to depict its outrages upon all t vat we consider dear to us,’” he unconsciously reminds us of the intellectual character of the persons to whom he addresses himself, and we concur with him that ‘‘ it needs no pen”’ of Ais to do the agreeable in the matter referred to. But as we are not all like the Belfasters — thanks te a gracious Providence for the mercy—will the Leader of the Opposition kindly inform us of those tremendous ‘‘ outrages ’’ that have been inflicted upon all that is ‘* dear to as’ during the past twelve months? We must confess our happy ignorance of those dreadful things which have stirred the indignation of Col. Gray, and humbly and respectfully we join with the Belfasters in exclaimiag — notwithstanding the advantages they have derived from having the history of the past twelve months before or behind them—

}

‘* If igonrance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.”’

Col. Gray seems to regret that the fourteen brilliant geniuses

does not deny that the Quit Rents are due. llis argament as)

to the impropriety of exacting them, because some the tenantry happen to be in arrear for rent, is very absurd. | If the Landlords be allowed to hold their ill-gotten estates—

their titles, and a searching enquiry into the questions Fishery Reserves and Quit Rents — good care will be taken to make the tenants pay up their arrears of rent, either in the time of the present landlords or in that of their enegutges. 1f all the tenantry in the Island had back rents to settle, Col. ark about what might oceur might have a little effect. The logie, however, is worthy of the Leader of the Opposition which covers the sophism, that it is only saad to caneel the arrears of Quit Rents in favor of all the Proprietors because a few of them shew a little indulgence to a few of their tenantry. There is no duubt that many of the tenants on Lord Selkirk’s estate will keenly appreciate the good word put in by the Colonel on their behalf; but there is Mr. Douse, the agent and part proprietor — a member expectant for the district—bhow could he distress the poor people, in any contin- gency, when they vote for him so submissively ?

: eed J THE LAST SCENE OF THE THREE DAYS’ PARLIAMENT.

Tur last Is?ander, in eudeavouring to console its patrons for the great blow and discouragement inflicted on their machina- tions, indulges in a strain of the most anusing bluudeis and falsehoods that ever emanated from an editorial sanctum. The editor proclaims, as a very clever and convineing proof of the curreut of public opinion, the fact, that some of the Tories got Johu Hateh, the bellman, to offer a reward for a lost Liberal Government. This is certainly one way of del-ying their opponents; but had they counted their chickens before they were hatched, they would not have found much chance of havirg a good crow in the official barnyard, where they were so anxious to strut under the leadership of a long- legged Gray Shanghiae.

Says the sapieut editor—

‘It is rumoured that when Coles called on Mr. Laird to propose a coalition, of course with the assistance of the bottle, Laird informed Coles that whiskey would do bim no service, because the more he ( Laird) drank he became the more obstinate.””

Now. if it be true that Mr. Coles watted on Laird to pro- pose a coalition, the inference must be, that the observation referring to the effect of whiskey on his mind must have pro- ceeded irom a desire to save his bottle, unless the idea is sought tv be inculcated that out of compassion the former brought some of this needful with him to supply any defi- ciency in the Conservative stock.

With reference to any symptoms of pugnacity. and the |

curtailing of a visit, perhays a reference to the ex-Reverend Roderick McAulay may put the cditor in possession of the truth of the alleged rumour.

The next note-worthy olgervation in this precious morceau reads thus logically :—

** Besides, having advised the Imperial Government that his present Councillors were the best the Island could produce for conducting the Government—which he must have positively known was directly the reverse of the truth—the chance of another election was expedient, in order to confirm their popularity, in support of his misrepresentations.”’

Now, if the Governor and his Councillors merit the obser- vations we have quoted, the conclusion that a new eicction would coufirm their popularity, is worthy of the tenant of a lunatic asylum. Had the stupid used the word “ retrieve,” or any of similar purport, we might understand him as ad- nitting the fact, although unvonsciously, thai the Government were not afraid of an appeal to the people; but au higher tribute to their political status could be paid by their warmest supporters than to state, in the journal of their opponents that a new election would strengthen that hold upou the popular regard which they have so long enjoyed.

We are next treated to a small piece of what the hon. and learned member for Georgetown would call coustitutional law, which perhaps was communicated by him to the editor—his authority, of course, not to be given. Like other infallible remedies, this specific must go forth with the caution accon- panying many quack prescriptions, viz: ‘ None are genuiue without the proprietor’s signature.” ‘That this is the case is rendered extremely probabie, when we tell our readers that the Government should have given way to the minority— sixteen members should acknowledge that their number was less than that of the Opposition, which amounted to exactly fourteen! Will any of the legalities of the Opposition pro- duce an instance of a majority yielding the reins to the minority? Answer me that, Master Brooks.

Next we have a fitting sequel to the previous absurditics. The Governor and Council are censured for not having sub- mitted the public accounts to (not the House, but) the Oppo- sition, and through them to the public. What right the

who lately figured as Mer Majesty's Opposition in the defunct House of Assembly, did not prepare ** a long catalogue of the | criminal workings of the leader of ’’ the Government ; but the | gentleman dues not condescend to mention even one of the criminal proceedings. 1 is true he refers to the influence ex- ercised by Mr. Colesin the dispensation of Government patron- age. The Opposition Leader says that a ‘* vast and tremendous power of naming an Upper Chamber *’ is placed in the hands of the leader of the- Government, and that ‘ at this very time nine out of eleven members’’ (of the Council) ‘‘ have been placed in their seats by one man, Mr. Coles.’’ The leader of the Government does not enjoy the ‘‘ tremendous’’ power

‘or how the Government dare produce them until the House

Opposition had to the production of any public documents,,

the crowd,” we ure at a loss to understand how give a correct opinion as to the style of oratory practised on this interesting oceaston. There : nothing said about Mr. Abercrombie Willock’s speech, which was, in point of fact, the most powerful of any delivered that day. It bad the effect of sending Mr. Montgomery out of the chair, without obliging bim to wait for the customary

vote o

tervals in the Islander could

fall vent to all their spleen against the Governor and Government.

The last falsehood we shall notice is the statement that sixteen members refused to obey the summons by the Usher of the Black Rod, to attend in the Council Chamber in obe- dience to His Excellency's commands. The fact is, that all the supporters of the Government im the House at the time responded to the call, with the exeeption of Mr. Harris, who tried in vain to force his way through the erowd of Obstruc- tives who kept forcible possession of the door, when they were not driven aside by superior numbers. His remaining is not to be construed into an approval of the tumultuous and dis-

graceful conduct which characterised the forlorn kope of the |

Opposition. CLERICAL ELECTIONEERING.

We have just learned that the Reverend Mr. Manro, who resides some place near Beifast, has resumed his pious work of exciting the religious and national prejudices of his people, as the safest and readiest way of damaging the cause of the Liberals in localities where his influence extends. As a lie will suit this pious exnvasser much better than the trath, considering the kind of people he has to deal with—he is cireuJating astory, which he has upon the talse testimony of an anonymous seribbler in the Islander, to the effect, that Mr, Whelan, in the House of Assembly, compared ad/ the isle of Skye people to Kamtschatkans and Hottentots. We tell the Rev. gentleman that if be circulates this story he publicly and shamelessly violates one of the commandments of God—he bears false witness agatnst his neighbour. What Mr. Whelan did say is this :—Repelling an infamous attack upon the conduct of the Trish people who attended the County meeting in Charlottetown, in August lasr, he referred to the array of the Isle of Skye men who were marched up Queen street by Col. Gray, armed, as many of them were well known to be, with instruments of death—yelling and hooting without the slightest provocation. Mr. Whelan said those people’s demeanour was unlike that of civilized beings—and that they evidently knew no more of the real purpose of the meeting, nor cared for Mr. Owen on whose behalf a public expression of sympathy was to be given, than if they bad been so many Kamtschatkans or Hottentots. The remark did not apply—nor was it intended to apply —to any portion of the Scotch people but those who rendered themse}ves so unenviously conspicuous on the oceasion referred to. If Hnglishmen or Lrishmen had eonducted themselves in similar manner, Mr. W. would have spoken of them in the same terms. The Tories consider Irishmen fair game for their abuse oa all occasions, but [rishmen will remember that their countrymen who attended the County meeting were denounced in the Opposition press and elsewhere as * ruffians,” “scoundrels,” ‘scum of the earth,” and had other choice epithets applied to them. As for all the political parson at Belfast can say or do against us, we care nota straw. He did his best, we believe, to stir up religious and unti-national strife previous to the last election. Let him go ahead ineul- cating his peculiar notions of the divine precept—* Glory be to God in the highest, and peace on earth to men of good will,” but we think that for mere outward appearance sake, if for nothing else, he should doff that clerical mien and character which nature evidentiy did not intend bim to assume.

HURRAH FOR THE LIBERALS!

Tue news from all parts of the country respecting the progress of electioncering movements is of the most elcering character for the Liberals. The Torics have been taken by surprise by the suddenness of the dissolution, and have not sufficient time to practise ther familiar arts of dissimulation and deceit before the Election shall be upon them. We lave good authority for believing that Prince County will send eight Liberals—good men and true—to the new House, the Postmaster Geaeral amongst the number, whose election for Princetowo Royalty and Lot 18 is morally certain. We know that King’s County can do quite as well, if not better ; and if Queen’s County will give half and half, as we think it will, we shall have a choice assortment of hats to dispose of after the elections.

A GLANCE AT THE DOINGS OF THE TORIES DUR- ING THE THREE DAYS OF THEIR OBSTRUCTIVE CAMPAIGN.

“ Description cannot suit itself in words To demvunstrate the life of such a battle, Ia life so lifeless as it shew’d itself.” —SmaKxsrzaRe.

On Thursday, the 17th instant, the day appointed by

John Hamilton Gray was to be nominally, as a sort of sleeping “partner in the coneern, the promier and leader of the Tories in \the Mouse of Assembly, upon T. Heath Haviland, Esquire, was to devolve the aetual discharge of the duties of the leader- ship. he wonderful activity of the latter gentleman, there- fore, throughout the three days of the ‘ory-obstructive campaign, startling, amusing, tyranuic, and hateful as it was —for phases justifying ali these epithets m the estimation of honest and sensible men did it assume—is easily accounted for. Called upon and appointed te play the part of licred, Le bent all his powers, piysical as well as mental, to prove himeelf worthy of the exceedingly great honor conferred upou him ; but, too suuch inflated with his sense of it, be certainby cid most bombastically ** out-herod Herod", and, tearing to tatters, to very rags, the passion of patriousm with which he affected to clothe himself, exposed, through its unsightly rents, to the ioathing and detestation of every true friend of civil ard religious freedom who saw and heard him,

“ A tyrant’s beart wrapped in a patrivt’s robe.”

ration against the Government and the liberal party, Haviland had for a long time beew allowed to indulge without interruption, was, at length az ** fast and furious’’ he proceeded,—carricd to 80 outrageous and indecent 'a pitch, that, although the liberal majornty of the ticuse listencd to it wih eool contempt, their friends in the gallery could brook the bombastie orator’s unbridled insolence no longer, and, in a manner somewhat infringing upon the rules of order, it is true, but certainly not transgreseing more than ‘did his approvers by their cheers, manifested their dissent trom his opinions and their disapprobation of his rancorous mmper- tinenee. Thus justly checked and galled, the heated orator, —albtogethey forgetiiag that ip order ** to pluck allegiance from men’s hearts,’’ he who elothes himself with courtesy «2 humility is much more likely to suceced, than he who, wit! ‘haughty and insulting speced, endeavours to awe men inte submission to his will,—saddenly stopped for & momen! | trex turning, and, with the glare of the basilisk in his eyes, lwok- ing up at the sturdy “ independents * in the gallery, toi them that if they should dare to manilest their feelings in the same manner again he would move ** the standing order,’’ that is a standing order of the House against the presense of any besides the menrbera and officers of the House, and the moving

of which, wen there is ** a llonse,’’ neceseitates the immediate

extrusion of aii strangers. . i

But the mortification caused by the expression, on the part of the independent occupants of the gallery, of their disappro- bation of the vituperstive course which be was pursuing, wae not the only vexation which the would-be authoritative and aristocratic orator had to endure, for the Hon. the Colonia’ Secretary (Mr. Coles), who is ever at home, whatever may be the subject or question ander consideration, was unkind enough to remind him that it was very silly in him to threaten pun~ ishmeut when he had no power to inflict it. It is unfortunate , said the honorable gentleman, for the reputation of * the constitutional Jawyer,’’ that he does not know that, as we are as yet without a Speaker, we re not yet “a House,”” according to the constitutional meaning of the term; ond, consequently ure not yet invested with any of fthe peculiar powers which the Constitution confers upon # duly organwzee ilouse—least of all, under present circumsispees, with the arbitrary one of excluding from this Hall any portion of those freemen, whose suffrages have placed us here, and whose choscr and most highly trasted servants we are. ea this power by the House, although sometimes positively: necessary, is at all times disagreeable ; but ata time, at & crisis like the present, when the nearly balanced powers of the two parties in which we are divided have naturally caused unusual excitement in the public mind, we are, 1 think, im— peratively calted upon by sound political discretion, as well as by the higher obligations of relig on, to refrain from ever act which might tend to eall forth uproar or cause a breacis of the peace; and I trast that ‘* strangers,’’ whether in the gallery or here below without the bar, of both parties,—for I see above and around me as many of the one asof the other, —will manifest so much good sense, so much respeet for their representatives, and so much regard for their own intereste, for their own political rights and privileges, as to provoke no further eomment by any undue manifestation ef feeling whilst we, in their presence, continue to discuss the present question or any other which may engage our deliberative consideration.”

Thus humbled but not improved by just rebuke, the Tory leader turned, not to kiss, but to bite the rod by which ho had been chastised; and rabidly laying hold of the word ‘‘religion,’’ which had been used in the most unpretending jand conciliatory manner by his repiayer, told him, with ali the insolenee of look, words, tone and gesture, which in his fury he could command, that it ill heeame him to utter the name of religion. This taunt of Mr. Haviland was naturally supposed to have insulting reference to the stand made by the Hon. the Colonial Secretary and others of the iiberal party during the debate on the Bible Question in the last session of tiie previous House ; and therefore also very naturaly re- vived some reminiscences of that memorable discussion. A recurrence to that question having been thus recklessly pro- voked by Mr. Haviland, an altercation thereon ensued, in which those who principally engaged were, of the liberal party, the Hon. the Col.nial Secretary, Hon. E. Whelan, Hon. the Colonial Treasurer, Hon. J. Wiehtman, and Mr. Dingwell, and of the Tory section of the House, Mr. 1. Heath Haviland, Hon. E. Palmer, Mr. Douse, and Mr. Yeo. Dur- | ing this alicreation, the [fon. Colonial Secretary stated the uncontradicted fact, that the Rey. Ponald McDonald,—who, contrary to his wont, for he had ever previously stood aloof from politica} strife, as became 8 man invested with his sacred office, had unwillingly been. about the time of the late election, betrayed into some acts sayouring of the spirit of political partizanship—had bad his eyes fully opened to the deceptions which had for private political ends been practised upon bim

attributed to him, and the nine persons who are said to have | }

taken their seats in the Council since the accession of the the Liberal party to power, are not indebted for the honour to Mr. Coles exclusively, or to any ether individual member of the Government. The appointment to seats in the Legislative Council has been generally made with the concurrence, and at the recommendation of the Liveral Members of the House of Assembly, as the embodiment ef the Liberal spirit of the Island ; and if Col. Gray and his party were in power, we pre- sume they would act ina similar menner ; unless they followed the practice of the old ‘‘ despotic tim_s,”” when appointments were made to all offices in the gift of the Government without consulting any of the people's representatives. But Mr. Gray appears to have lost sight of the fact that what he calls the ‘* criminal workings ’’ of the Leader of the Government were once enlisted on his own behalf. Who has given the Opposi- tion Leader the distinguished honor of writing ‘* Lieut. Colo- nel’’ after his name? And who recommended his appoint- ment as a Magistrate? Why, Mr. Coles. And when the honourable Col. threw up his commission, because Mr. Whelan was appointed to the Magistracy, was he not too glad and too happy to be reinstated through the intercession and influence of the same Mr. Coles, without Mr. Whelan having been re- moved froma the Magistracy as the new fledged Colonel (with a myth for a Regiment) together with some of his unserupu- lous political partizans, desired he should be?

Col. Gray makes allusion to the subject of the arrears of |
