Premiums were awarded to Mrs. Lewis for having the first Radishes, Peas and Potatoes; and to Mrs. Bryenton the first Cucumbers for sale in Charlottetown market this season.

To our thinking, nothing so much concerns a traly British|Commons, should he refuse to bow to the behests of the

Constitutione’ Government, after a General Election, as the ascertaining whether their own or the opposition party will have ‘‘a preponderance of force’ in the Legislature. But the Governmvnt, we opine, of which the Wezard speaks, and as we shall, just now, prove by this very editorial of his own, which we have now under consideration, is not a British Con- stitutional Government, but sach a tyrannic one as the pseudo reformers desire to establish.

The Wizard proceeds, ** According to their own doctrine, it is their «uty to resicn when they cannot command a majority in the Assembly, and to let the opposition try if they can.’’ True, very true, The

still he aims awry. The Government are not yet convinced, neither do they fear that the trial, when it comes, will convince them, that t)ey cannot command a majority in the Assembly ; but, on the contrary they are firmly persuad<d that, by a sufficient majority of the members ef the new Assembly, they will be firmly supported in that course of beneficial and impartial legislation and government which, until they came

into power, was altogether unknown in this Colony.

But does it not occur to the sapient Wizard that * the|

balance of strength being so nearly in equilibrium *’—although ied the possibility of an

he has, for a moment, insanely denied t equilibrium-—with whieb party ** the prepon lerance of foree rests, cannoj be clearly ascertained until the meeting of the Jegislature, when the battali

a of each party will be promptly exhibited upon the floor of the Assembly.

!

Surely then, if the Government were now prematurely to resign the reins of ywer, to shrink from responsibility, and basciy to desert the

Governor and abandon their posts in the hour of difficulty and |

danger they would indeed be most unworthy of the high

position to vhich they -havye attained. and of the confiden: | Bat this they will not do, |

reposed in them by the people. even were toe difficulties and dangers which beset their path, inealeulably greater than they are. They will remain firm and steady i the discharge of their important dati

‘'s, until

the voice of the peo} le shall unmistak voly eal! upon them to resign the power with which they, and they alone, have invested them. They cannot, perhaps, command success, but they ean—ind we are certain they will—-deserve it. If they

should be overcome by a hungry, jealous, and deceitful vey should fall, undermined by the knavish wiles

faction ; if 3 of the Cligue: the people, n greatest recson to mourn their defeat and lament their fall: for their {all would, for a season, certainly be that of our little state ; and vividly and strikingly would it call to

vy } ye tne

remembrance, in the minds of inany, the glorious picture the poet : ‘A great man strugsling with the storms of fate; And greatly falling with a falling state.”

Yes, with the Wizard, we willingly enough say, *‘ when the Government cannot command a majority in the Assembly, let the op} sition try if they can.’’ Yes, that woul L be fair play enourh. But until the necessity for allowing the op yosition fo try arrives, the Government, we are certain, wili most determinedly hold ‘+ the pack ’’ at bay.

But now comes the unveiling, by the Worzard, of the delectable prospect of the Conservative Reform, the scope, th glory of their political millennium, when ‘* the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together ; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.”’ But who wil lead these heterogeneous natures, and reconcile these conflicting spirits of the Conservative-Reform Millenni- um? Most certainly not ‘a little child,’ nor anything so pure and innocent — a

The Wizard's vision seems, it is true, still obscured by rather more than ** a wee drap in his ee,’’ and his delineation is none of the steadiest ; yet, as having like some dizzy and

tWeil

wewildered wanderer of the night, a positive knowledge o hewild lerer of the night, a itive knowledge of

the direction which he ought to parsae, and of the nature of the object he is in quest of, he flounders on, and indicates clearly enough the haven of rest at which he, in their menial train, hopes with his worthy patrons, to arrive.

“ But,” says the Wezard, “when the present snatcher

faction is expelled from the Goverument by a vote of want! has been received, and will receive :

of confidence, as the present majority will not accept of

office, there will be no necessity for commanding a majority ; |

and the Legislative business of the Colony may be discharged effectively without embarrassment.” That is to say, self- government would be at once destroyed, by the ignoring of responsibility to the people. For any /egislative purpose, there would, in fact, no longer be a Government at all ; and the beginning of the end which the Conservative Clique so devoutly desire to attain would be fairly began. The Go- vernment would be a body of arrogant incapables, selected from amongst our most contemptible mushroon aristocracy, whose only duty, aim, and object would be the practice of, the most exteusive wepotism which their position and the state of the country would allow them to carry into effect, by the appointment of some of their own brothers, brothers-in-law, sons, sons-in-law, or other members of their families or family connexions, to every office of emolument in the Colony, to be held by them and their heirs for ever and ever. And as for the Assembly, their functions, shorn of all true legislative dignity, would soon degenerate into those of a mere Board of Highway Commissioners and Parish Guardians or Diree- tors, to. vote moneys for the repairs of roads and bridges, and forthe relief of the poor, and particalarly for the support of the needy diving fixtures in the public offices; not for- getting the levying of the necessary assessments; for, although the people would be wholly deprived of all the in- estimable and ennobliug privileges of self-government, their public burthens would be in no case diminished. with respect to taxation, the great probability is, that under such a form of Government, it would be greatly increased ; for were it onee constitutionally established, our Houses of Assemblics would, as they periodically succeeded one another, become more and more degraded and contemptible, uatil, in the end, composed of men of no talent, honor or honesty— for all paths to honorable preferment, by means of faithful service of the country in the Legislature, being closed against those who really could, and would otherwise so serve the country ia the Legislatare, and every thiog like tangible

honor or emolument being reserved for the worthless seions |

of a wortiless oligarchy —all real guardianship of the liberties, rights and privileges of the people would be abandoned; and the channels of corruption and of mal-appropriation of public moneys being hid from the public view, and q lite beyond public research or restraint, all in the government, in oilice, and in the Legislature, would, al:thouzh in different degrees, s'iare in the corruption ;—and all * One sink of leve# avarice would lic.”

Sin,—In reading your paper of the 12th instant, I noticed a communication signed “ A Fisherman,” which states that the Light at Fish [sland was out on the morning of the 27th June, and that the writer could not, in consequence, get into ithe harbour. It is well known that the distance between New London and Malpeque is twelve miles, and sailing from the former place at 10 p, m., he would have daylight before he reached the latter place. Tie wiud hav‘ay been south | west at the time mentioned, he had not the ti. .ble of hauling olf, because he could drift off. I expect that a bank of fog got between hjm and the light, or he fell asleep, dreaming of catching young foxes off the Points, or the croaking of bull- frogs in the New London Ponds. Perhaps he wanted to get | into Malpeque harbour before daylight, to get some Yankee}

a ° 7 e * of | the light to be out when it ought to be seen, and this can be

| proved by the testimony of many reliable and respectable wen jin the neighbourhood. There is no fisherman belonging to IM alpeque harbour, and the person who has sigued himself one \is evidently an individual of no character, or he would not make a statement so unfounded, and which he was ashamed to acknowledge over his proper naine.

mises formerly occupied by Daniel Bethune, situate a con- siderable distance from Mr. Swith’s Brewery ; and from the evidence taken before me, tle occupant of Bethune’s house had never used the well in question.
