** Let wa \ PROFOUND senastion was cause reat meeting in Toronto on Tuesday nigh when Nir Joha Macdonald read the treason- sble document prepared by Mr, Edward the Toronto

: #

a i af tae

barral editor-in-chief of Globe, for the Americana, showing how he thought Oanads might be forced into an nexation with the United States.

The authenticity of this precious doeu- ment has not been denied. It could not be, for Sir Johan baa iu his. possession aworn proot of its authorship.

This Edward Farrar waa editor of the Mail. He was suborned by Sir Richard Cartwright, and viven the editorial charge

‘ the Glebe. <A short time ago he acconm- panied his chief to Wasbiagton, and there this brace of conspirators, steeped to the lips in treason, prepared a document show- ing the Americana how they could best cripple our trade, oppress our industries, harass our fishermen, and induce England to withdraw her protection over us, 80 a” to compel Canada, by annexation, to seek

refuge from the ruin they trasted would

follow, We give our readers a verbatim extract from this treasonable document,

italieizing one portion, to which special at- tention is given to our Province :

“A word in conclusion about the situ- ation in the Maritime Provinces. Outside of Halifax, the people aa a body sare well cisposed towards the United States. The fiahermen’s phrase that they should like ‘to wee Gloucester moved east,’ in order that they might enjoy higher wages, cowmends itself to the majority. Sir John Macdonald secures the election of a Tory uajority from Nova Scotia only by 4 sys- ‘em of largesa and corruption,- carried en without attempt at concealment. A constituency which retarna sn Opposition sueraber ia forthwith excluded from sharing in the railway subsidies and other appro- priations lavished ou the rest. The fisher- men have a saying that a Nova Scetia mem- her on the wrong side at Ottawa is ‘a spare purop inadry ship.’ In Prince Edward island, where it is impossible to spend public money except on a few wharves and luehthouses, the people return a solid Liberal contingent to Ottawa. The Island- ers are exceedingly friendly tothe Am- «ricans and it ia.said by one who knows the state of the feeling there that fully 70 per cent of them would vote for full reciprocity ov for annexation ! 1! provided the question weresubmitted tothemfreefrom any entangl- ing issues of # lecal character, and that the (tawa Government abstained from the use of bribery.

it ia felt by all that Sir John’s methods of reconciling those provinces to the vast economic loss they sustain from being sev- ered from their natural market in New england cannot survive the man himself. No one elee could employ them with eqjtal skill or suecess. He is now 75 years old.

The fishery question owes its existence Lot to the people, bat to the fish merchants and vessel owners. The traders in other ines would be glad to see the widest pri- vileves extended to the Americans whose custom was once, 4nd might be again, an important factor in the business of the Pro- vincea, more especially since the decay of the inshove fisheries has rendered it all the iore essentisl that the coast population should be permitted to resume their former relations with the visitors. The influence of ‘he fish merchantsis far-reaching. They control the newspapers and to some ex- rent the politics of the Provinces. The headland question, the dispute over the right of Americans to enter the Bay of andy which was terminated by the arbi- tration in the case of the vessel ** Washing- ton,” and other poimts of controversy, were all pressed by them in the hope, to which they still cling, of beingableto force Congresa ito yeilding free fish. If their minds cou!d be disab of this notion, and they were made to see that free fish was not pro- eurable through coercion, we should soon hear the last of the cry that to grant com- mercial privileges to the Americans would be to surrender an invaluable franchiso. The imposition by the United States of a tonnage tax on all Nova Scotia vessels laden whole or in part with fish would speedily put an end to seizures aud indeed to the whole controversy Another ready way of bringing the Government and all concerned to their senses would be to suspend the bonding privilege, or to cut the connection of the Canadian Pac fie with the United States territory at Saulc Ste. Marie. Either of these methods would rouse the full force ot Western Canada influence against the (iovernment. It would be better still to oblige Britain to withdraw her countenance and support from the Canadian contention, 4s she did in 1871. That wouid secure the end desired without leaving the United

‘he stage is to be the signal for a move- ment towards annexation. The enormous debt of the Dominion (859 per head), the

Queen ;

hich, on the Sth of March, from the Atiantie to the Pacifie, declaring that ‘*God Save the Queen” shall still be our national anthem

‘There are strong reasons why this appeal should fiad a heartier echo among ua than in many of the other Provinces. Here in Charlottetown, aod in many a section of our Island, are to be found the descend- ants of the old Loyalists—-men whose love fur their king and their country was so deep and so strong that they left the United States at the revolution, abandoned thei property, went out forever from their homes, from the land that held the ashes of their dead. They left all this to lead a life of hardship. They abandoned comfort, sod in many cases wealth, that they might die under the old flig. And when their atrong frames became enfeeblee with age, and they were gathered to the dark home, and slept the long sleep, their children as they wept by their graves blessed them for what they had done, and were proud of it. If there are any descend- ants of these noble men in the Grit ranka, will they remain there after this expression of their party’s treachery and treason? We cannot think that they will. To do so would beto outrage their fathers’ memories, to dis- honor their fathers’ graves. We appeal to them, by the memory of that loyal devo- tion which gave to their ancestors the will and the power to travel, and to travel far, that they might die Britons and see their eons Rrow up Bricons not less loyal than themaelves—to smite these traitors hip and thigh and nip their treason in the bud.

Let us adopt the flag of our country as our standard. Let us until election day hoist the Union Jack upon our public buildings, upon every school-houso, even upon every church ; ior it is no unworthy symbol to float from the towor of every sacred edifice in the land. It is a symbol to be proud of. Wherever it floats, there is the might of Kngland, there is law and order, there is civil and religious liberty, there is liberty for every man to worship God with those rites which he believes to be in aceordance with His most Holy will. For a hundred years it has never gone back- ward on any battle-tield, however bloody or however few its dofendera may have been. it haa been the pall, covering the coffin of our bravest dead. Let every loyal subject, then, hoist it. Let the Washington con- spirators or any of their satellites touch it itthey dare. We trust ovr grit friends will not be afraid of their colors. Let them hoist the Stars and Stripes. Mr. Donald Farguharson, the Grit M. P. P. for Queens, will supply them. He had plenty of them only lately displayed in his shop window emblazoned with the motto “Prorecrion TO AMERICAN Manvueacractures,”

‘nce more we ask our readers to peruse this treasonable document, once more to read that statement which we dare to say will make their cheek burn with indigna- tion, that if “the Ottawa government ab- stained from bribing, fully 70 per cent of them (P. E. Islanders) would vote for an- nexation.” It is an infamous lie. Bribery | We undertake to say that not only is no money expended by the Ottawa Govern- ment in bribing, but that in no part of Canada is less money spent illegally during elections than here. In this statement we include both political parties. We be- lieve, nay, we have reason to know, that not one cent of money has been sent from Ottawa even for legitimate election pur- poses in any election since Confederation. It is but fair to state that we include the election in 1874 and 1878, when a grit government was in power.

Yet in this document, the base slan- der is uttered, that the independent elec- tors are held to their allegiance, are saved from being traitors, by money bribes. Farrar and Cartwright talk of us as a mer- cantile commodity, in the same way as 4 pair of cowboys would speak of horned cattle on a western ranch.

Never was there atime when our free- men should act and work as now. Their loyalty has been questioned! Nay, it has been declared that at every election we are paid te be kept from treason.

There is & broad, deep gulf between

the two political parties. It is not

The Philharmenic Conceri.

The success of the Philharmonic, when the Society was first formed, seemed vision- ary and uncertain. But so complete has been the work done, so excelient the evideuces of it as given in three concerts, this musical club of ours is now one of the city institutions, and its concerts are, with- out any doubt, as far as Charlottetown is eoneerned, the musical events of the year.

Last night, Mendlesohn’s jubilant and stirring “‘Hymn of Praise” was the main fare cilsrved by the Society. But the rendi- tiou was prefaced, and, as it were, led up to by four numbers. The first and last from Haydn's Creation, and respectively the chorus ‘‘The Heavens are Telling” and ‘he duet and chorus ‘*By Thee with Bliss,” There were over forty performers on the platform, and the hali is small,which prob- ably magnified the volume of sound, so that it seemed to us almost too great even to ex- press the grandeur of the magnificent chorus. Dut no over-anxiery to find fault could succeed with regard to the duet and chorus. We have never heard Profesa r Caven sing better, and it is needless to say that Mrs. Malcolm McLeod was all that one could wish for in sweetness of tone, delicate expression and accurate inter- pretation. Mr. Vinnicombe played very weil Alfred ,Lebeau’s beautiful “Ave Maria; and Mrs. Roome sang ‘* Wi Ge Come,”—s song which well suited her meh, musical voice—with much expression and care. Then followed Mondolisohn's exquis- ite cantata. Space will not permit us to do justice to all the excellent factors which combined to make tha rendition the seurce of most extreme satisfaction and emotional delight to the audience, which was priy- iledged to occupy the auditorium last night. It must suffice to generalize. Mrs. Mac- Leod naturally tilled the foremost role which is hers by right, as our most gracg- ful and sweetest prima donna. Her ric

an >

voice with all its fiexible adaptibility, afforded delightful means of __pres- enting the beauties of the the several parts allotted to her. Miss

Barrett, too, as second soprano, in spite of her evident nervousness, sang sweetly. We thought the solo“ Praise thouthe Lord” burried, and thereby made difficult for Miss Barrett, who, however, acquitted herseif as a worthy associate of Miss Macieod. Rev Fred, E. 3. Lloyd, in all his parts, but especially in the thrilling solo ‘The sorrows of death” fully sustained his well merited and incontestable reputation as possessor of & sweet, sympath- etic, elastic and expressive voice with ex- tended range, and which the talented con. ductor knows how to use with richest effect, The uncertain violin accompanment did net add to the charm of the sclo just mentioned, The duett ‘-My song shall always be Thy mercy,” assung by Miss Barrett and Mr. Lloyd, contd not fail to please the most un- musical. Here Mr. Sharp's support on the bass viol blended richly with the voices, The chorus was well balanced and adequately sustained the vocalists. The tenors, however, needed a little toning down ard finish, being =in all lou places undnly prominent. The bass was rich and well regulated, the alto mellow and subdued. Mr. Heartz, as hitherto, was per- fect in his conscientious piano playing—the backbone and ground sork of the accompani- ment. There was apparent neet of more care- ful or thorough practice of all the accom: panists, except the pianist, with the vocalists; yet the service rendered by the orchestra was efficient and at times exceptioually good, as for instance in chorus No. 7. In ividual members excelled in certain places—Mr. ‘innicombe and Mr, Sharpe supporting Mr Lioyd in **He Counteth all your Sorrows,” and Mr. Fletcher in the last kines Altogether the concert was a rich treat. Mr. Lloyd deserves the thanks of musical Charlottetown, and is to be cougratulated upon being instru. mental in supplying such a feast as was enjoy- ed last evening. The audience was not as
