A crisis in the liberties of this Island ia at hand, and it wil] svon be the duty of its Electors to decide,
who insisted in the House of Assembly, that the people of Prince Edward Island, alone of a!! the

the
selves to what they call Responsible vernment, there is no doubt; but which they have supported uncer name is a delusion and a device, having in view—not the responsibility of the Le- gislature and Government to the People, by whom that Legislature was created, and for whom that Government was form- ed—but to perpetuate the misrule of those who, in spite of the Crown and in spite of the People, distribute the patronage of the country, and rule over its affairs. In what respect have the people of this Is jand conducted themseles, that they, of all Her Majesiy’s subjects, should have the cup of liberty presented to them as it were by Her Majesty’s own hand, and davhed from their lips by those whos they elected to seats in the Assembly? Was it ever before known that a consti- tuency, holding the choice in its own hands, should refuse to enlarge the popu- lar liberties 2 ‘If the Electors of Prince Edward Island would not do this, they should support with their utmost energies those who have stood forward as the ad- vocates of Responsible Government, and strengthen their powers by giving them the aid of their tried friends.
Several very important questions divi- ded the two political parties in the House during the last three years. Among these are—
lst.—The Tories expelled Meszrs. Warburton ard Coles, from the Assem- bly, contrary to the Jaw, because they were appointed to the Executive Conncil, although Messrs. Pope, Paliner, and J. 8S. McDonald were similarly situated on a former occasion, and were not required to vacate their places in the Assembly,— thus perpetrating gross injustice to their political opponents, and putting the coun- try tothe expense of three elections.
2d.—The Land Tenure.
The Tories have always voted against a settlement of the Land Tenure in any shape.
3d.—The Governor's Salary.
The Tories voted £500 as an addition to the Governor's Salary, creating a fund for that purpose by levying an additional
- tax of six-pence per 100 acres on township
lands only—thereby adding to the bur- thens of the farmer ;—in order to please the Tory members of Charlottetown and Georgetown, the inhabitants of those places were allowed to go scot free. 4th.—The Assistant Judgeship.
The Tories voted away £500 of the people’s money to pay an Assistant Judge —an office that might be dispensed with for at least a while longer—thus opening for Mr. Palmer, who was the chief pro- moter of the Judge Bill, the situation of Solicitor General.
5th.—Responsible Government.
The Tory Party voted against this— offering, however, a system of their own making, which would leave the Govern- ment as it is at present, quite irresponsi- |
