Sin—The Is/ander of the 6th inetant, for want of argument to convince the country of the great services rendered by the present Guveroment, attempts to vilify the character of our late worthy and esteemed Governor Sir D.

The Governor at first refused to mitigate his sentence, but the Judges recomntertded Him to do so, as the Court bad nv alternative but to sentence him in aceurdance with the verdict, and as there was no doubt of his im-anity.

Charlottetown, P. E. I., January 24, 1860.

THE LATE MEMBER FOR CHARLOTTETOWN.

Tue report of Mr. Palmer's resignation of his seat in the House of Assembly, referred to in our iast No., has been fully confirmed over his own signature in a card addressed to his late constituents. He states, as a reason for the step taken by hm, that the Lieut. Governor has lately received instruc- tions ‘* to make an esssential alteration in the constitution of

supporting the vicions policy of @ most unpopular Adminis- tration, may threaten to dissolve that branch of the Legislas ture, and appoint a new set of Councillors. Let them try ity if they dare. Mz. Dundas; backed as he it by the influence of Sir Samuel Cunard attd other absenttee pyprictors, has no power to attempt ahything of the kind. “he little conse- quential despots who sarround hie person and poison his ears, may talk of their importance and influence in he community ~—may prate of the neeessity which they say exets for remov- ing reftaetory menibets of the Legislative Couieil ; but we hope that Mr. Dundas has more common sense tlun he would show by Hetertitig to ewth suicidal advice. Shouil our hope, however, be unfounded, His Eacellency will be more the

lubject of puttic connsisteration than reproach.

In alluding to Mf: Palmer’s proposed elevation to the Council, the /slander indulget im @ etyke Of panegyric which is suprem “4 ridicusous frum the e#travag:nt falsehood of it. We are told that ‘* to no man im the Colony are our people more indebted for the political privileges which they enjoy than they are to Edward Palmer.” Such arrant bosh as this is scarcely worth the notice of any intelligent man; but we may venture to ask the panegyrist— (who has beconte so un- commonly polite of late days that he answere all our questions) —to define those great ** privileges’ fur which ourselves and our fellow colonists ase indebted to Mr. Palmer? Did he hel

‘lus to get self-Guverument—the most important of all—the

advantages of which some of his friends are now enjoying im a material sense—and against which not one member of his Government now dare to raise his voice? No—Mr. Palner did not help us to obtain that * privilege ;" but opposed the’ people’s applicasion for it in every way, and attempted tu’ thwart their effurts on every side.

Did he help to confer on our people the * privilege” of ‘ree trade with the United States, which has been the means of abolishing the old *- truck system,’’ and securing a ready and remunerating price for our agricultural] produce, making many of our farmers rich, and converting the fruite of the earth, as soon as they wefe taken from the ground, into so much gold and silver? Ny —but Mr. Palmet laboured to deny us this ‘* privilege,’’ assigning asa reason, that if we had free trade with the United States we would become republican in our ideas and habits. The sequel shows what a prophet be is.

How did be demean himself in the gteaf stfuggle We have had to relieve our rising generation from the darkness and trammels of ignorance? ‘The Liberals proposed the free system of education—they cartied their object—the country has been prewd of it eter since, for its advantages are every where apparent. Mr. Palmer not only exhausted ia this Colony all his influence and energy iv opposition to that system, but he aided and encouraged an application to the throne to have it set aside.

The Land Purchase Bill is a measure which has conferred great advantages er ** privileges’ on many of our fellow colonists. Mr. Palmer opposed it to the last; and now he is the leader of a Government which must continue to carry out its provisions. The settlement of the Land Question in every shape has invariably received his opposition ;-he hae set his face Against giving compensation to tenants for their improve- ments; he opposed the One-Ninth Bill, which has checked the exorbitant exactions of the Land Proprietors ;—he was @ fierce enemy to ths extension of the franchise ;—and he wee an adviser of Sir Donald Campbell when the old won ous despot devised the diabolical scheme of so changing the coneti+ tution that no leaseholders but those who possessed impfute« ments to thevalue of £300, and had twenty years possession, should have any yoice in the making of our laws—which scheme, if adopted, would place four-fifths of our popc] .tion in as low a condition as that of Russian serfs,

Now, what are the * privileges’ whieh Mr. Palmer has laboured to obtain for his coontrymen doring bis twenty-fire years legislation? Will the Js/ander inform us of one? In offering these questions and remarks, we do not wish to find any fault with the Lieut. Governor in placing him in the Council. We shall miss him in the House of Assembly — there is no man able to take his place there—no man on his own side possesses a tithe of his debating qualities, his hardi- hood, pluck and persevorance ; but the Government will have more reason to lament his absence than the Opposition. He will, no doubt, be a very useful member in te Legislative Council ; but his usefulness will consist pretty much in re- lieving the Hon. Col. Swabey and other prominent members of the Council from doing the amiable in standing gudfather for the measures of the Government. The bonourable and Jearned gentleman is eminently worthy of the honour con-

| ferred upon him; we congratolate him sincerely on his good

stroke of political fortune. We have only one feeling in the matter, and that is respect to the Government, that he, with his talent fur debate and knowledge of public affsirs, should be considered as the only man fit to cope with the ** factious’’ Liberals of the Legislative Council.

We understand that the Political Alliance have put forward Mr. George Bver as a candidate for Mr. Palmer's place ir the Assembly. It is probable the Alliance will be able to secure his distinguished services in the [louse. The ecleetors of Charlottetown, as a body of freemen, will not be allowed to have any say in the election.

It appears that this secret oryanization—composed of a few simp'e-minded men in Charlottetown who call them- selves ** mercbants,’’ two or three fifth rate -lawyers, a few mechanics, labourers, and a sprinkling of shop boys—are to be the real rulers of the country, to whom public men shall be responsible—in whose hands the Executive of the day, with’ the Lieut. Governor at their head, must be tumbled and tossed about like nine pins, to be set up and thrown down

country at large must submit to its dictation in all political affairs. If the country people and their representatives will submit to the usurpation of a contemptible faction, who, indi- vidually, have no influence, and no claim to much respecta- bility on the score of intelligence or anything elee—we hope the Political Alliance will become more powerful and arro- gant than they are at present; and the realization of this hope will be the heaviest punishment for the meanness and fully which seem to counsel submission to the eabai.

With regard to the * essential alteration in the constitution

has been whispered about by the leaky friends and supporters of the Government, that the number of members in that branch of the Legislature may be raised from twelve to fifteen —keeping up the usual and long established proportion of

numbers in the Upper House to the Lower one. his is just

Dr. McDonald, over whom the grave has but just closed, and whose decease awakened such general sympathy in the breasts of ull right thinking Christiane who remembered the many virtues of his Lordship. We have no desire, as we re~ cently stated, to enter into a controversy with the Protestant on any subject. It may abuse the Catholic Church and ita members to any extent. The Church will be none the worse for the abuse, and the Catholics have too much good sense to ba put out of temper by the barking of such acur. But we leare to the Protestants of all denominations to say whether they approve of the conduct of a paper which professes to represent their religious views, in assailing the memory of a distinguish- ed ecclesiastic, whose life and conduct, according to its own testimony, was without reproach—whose charities were in- discriminate and bountiful; and who was, in every sense of the word, an exemplary Christian minister and a good mem- ber of society? We are far from thinking that any respec- table number of Protestants endorse the sentimenta of the un- christian attack on the late Bishop McDonald ; snd the person who gould pen the article muat be such a diagrace to our common humanity as to justify us in taking no further notice of him,
