GAN ELECTOR” AGAIN, Ovn readers are by this time sufficiently weil acquainted with the style and cha- racter of “An Elestex’s” correspondence, as published weekly in the Islander, from the notices we have heretofore given of it, to obviate the neceasity of further re-, mark. To establish, however, beyond the. possibility of doubt, the justice of our former criticism—to exhibit the glaring and shameles profligacy of his character, his recklessness, malice, end hideous mendacity, we shall briefly quote a few seveftjons from the letter with which “an Elector” has beea permitted to disgrace even that abandoned print, the Islander, in ifs last issue.

Quotition No. 1,—He asserts that at the last election, “some of them” (the liberals) * revived the obsolete story of! Escheat.” We have not heard of one solitary instance in which Escheat was,

mede the subject of agitation; and, in, the absence of other authority than “ an} Elector,” we deny it,

No. 2.--He states that “ ethers” (of the bers] party) “promised a reduction of rents to one half the present amount, as well as absolution from all debts, whether dve to landlords, money lenders, mer- chants or traders.” Afler this “an Blec- tor” may assert any thing he pleases, The assertion is, indeed, self-coutradicto- Ty: one part of the sentence states that rents were to be reduced to half the amount; the other part asserts that those |

Mr. Warburton and hig copstituegis can-

that of the most sovereign contempt,

No. 5.—“ An Elector” asserts that thedbven «yamed into a tTecantation of unfoun- liberals promised to redace the official | He now shifie lis position, and s/ates thet

salaries to “one fourth” their present amount, False, In quotation No 4, he states that the said salaries were pro- mised to be reduced one half, or less ; now itis “one fourth!” Can’t the blockhead avoid contradicting himself?

No. 6.—He asserts that Mr. Coleg and his party “voted” £200 a year as pensions to the present Secretary and ‘Treasurer, False again. Mr. Coles and his friends indignantly rejected the demand made by the Governor for pensions towards those officers. Had they voted the pen- sions, there would have been no disa- greement with the Governer. ‘Their refusal to comply with the demand is plainly stated by his Excellency in his prorogation Speech at the close of the lirst session. We subjoia the passages from the speech which refer to this topic : and we beg to ask, who are the public to believe, Sir Donald Campbell or “an Elector?” one or the other must bave told a falsehood. Had the vote for pensions been given, Responsible Go- vernment, as every body knows, would now be in practice.

(Extract from the Governar’s Sneech in March ast }

“ After mature consideration E have come to the conclusion that it 19 only ecessury to

deny siatenent about the ten years’! d ° . { , i not regard it with any other feeling than lonse. ‘Sais ia not the first, nor the se-

cond icetance, in Which “an Elector” has ‘ded and atrocious fies propagated by him.

Mr. SVhelao’s lease from fir. Rae, was for. “one whole year.” This is juat as FALS# as the previous statement: Let “aa Klector” guess again.” Mr. Whelan never took a Jease from Mr. Rae nor from any other man, for one year. “ An Elec- tor” further states, thatthe aforesaid lease was given in June previous to the last General Election, “only eeven months” before Mr. Whelan included that lease in his qualification. This is equally raxse. If it be any comfort to “an Elector,” we can inform him that the transaction re- ferred to, was duly executed to Mr. Whelan inthe fall of 1848, something more like 16 or 18 months previous to the election, than seven. Guess again, self- admitted liar!

Seeing that he has no premises for his base and malicious lies on the subject of Mr. Whelan’s qualification, “an Elector” soft-sawdsrs Mr. Rae, and begs that he will come out with “a true and particular account” of the whole affair. Pity Mr. Rae won't satisfy the curiosity of such
