To Tur Eprror oF THe PROTESTANT. Sin;

In your faet issue was published a lengthy com-!

tnunication which bore the signature of GeonGe Beer.

The Honorable George Beer, member of the Legisiative Council of Prinee Edward Island, had been charged by the Editor of the Islander with having garbled a clause of the Report uf the Que- bee Conference. ‘The Honorable Senator has not replied te this charge, but has assumed that I wrote the article in whieh the charge is eon- tained—has tried his hand at scurrility —and has made me the subject. That the Honorable Seu- ator will repent him of his temermty, is, in my opinion, highly probable. We are told by tne Fabulist, that a Wolf onee eaught a kid which bad strayed from the shepherd's sight, that the kid begged that before be- ing killed, the wolf would allow ber the grati-

cemplimented the wide mouthed animal the melody of bis voice. The eifiy credulous creature forthwith commenced to hol, pleased with the flattery of the kid and the sound of his own voice, he cuntinued his song, until interrupted by the arrival of the shepherd. As the wolf scampered off minus the kid, he exclaimed, “ What a fool 1 was not to have stuck to Butcher- sag; had I doae so I should bawe enjoyed the kid, whereas by reason of attempting that for which God and Nature has not fitted me I alarmed the shepherd and lost my meal."

Hlow far the Hou. George Beer, M. L. C., has committed the sane error as did the wolf. It is het my purpose to tell how Mr. Ge rge Beer, jJunr., ruse to be a Senator. I propose toe prove that the Hon. George Beer, M. L. C., has not forgotten the dishonest tricks of Mr. George Beer, juny. In the year 1852 Mr. George Beer, JUnr., WAS PROVED GUILTY OF FORGERY.

In 1865, the Hon. George Boer, ML. U » was guilty of the dishonest act of garbling the Report of tie Quebee Conference. The proof of having garbled the Report of the Quebee Conference is before the pubhie.

The evidence of the forgery proved against “ Mr. George Beer, junr ,” iw 1852, and fully ad- mitted by him, will be found in the following extract trom Haszard’s Gazette of May, 1852.

The paragraph asking fer the extension of the Criminal Jurisdiction of said Court, by abolishing the restrictivas which limits its power, was also rejected.

SarurpayY, March 18.

Mr. Brecken, Chairman of the Committee to whom were referred the petition of the Tenants of the Winslve Estate in this Island, submitted a Bill for the purpose of remedying the evils complained of.

The Bill was received and read, and referred to the Committee on Private Bills.

Hon. Col. Secretary, a member of Her Majesty's Executive Council, submitted the Detailed Accounts aud Vouchers, of the past year, which were laid on the table.

On motion of the Hon. Mr. Davies, the House Went into Committee of the whole on Ways and Means

Hon. Mr. Pope submitted a Resolution to the effect that Salaries should be paid to the Collector of Customs at Summerside and Georgetown, in lieu of the present mode of payment, by the allowance of commission on moneys collected.

‘The alteration recommended as above, was favo- rably received in the debate which followed the Hon. Mr. Pope's remarks on that subject, daring which debate it was admitted by several bon. members, on both sides of the House, that the salary of the Collector of Customs at Charlottetown was Inadequate, aud that his duties were the most important and urduous of any other officer in the public service. The policy of the Government re- lative to the mode of paying assistants in the public departments, and the appointment of Solicitor General, was also discussed, (a report of which will o- ip the extended Debates of the House); after which the Resolution was reported agreed to.

Hon. Mr. Hensley, Chairman of the Committee appointed to bring in a Bill for the purpose of amending the law regulating the sale by license of Spirituous Liquors, submitted a Bill relative there to; whieh was received and read, and ordered to be read a secoud time on Mouday next.

Hion. Mr. Pope introduced a Bill, the object cf which is to compel Masters of Vessels to rise Lights, mast high, on board their Vessels from sunset to suurise. In submitting the Bill the hon member alluded to the fact that collisions had frequently taken place in our harbors on dark nights because of the absence of such lights.

The Bill was received and read, and ordered to be read a secoud time on Monday next. House adjourned.

AFTERNOON,

Mr McLennan presented a petition, numerously signed by inhabitants ot Prince County, praying for the adoption of the Decimal Carrency system in this Island, which was received and read.

On motion, the House went into committee on the sebject of the petition—Mr Green in the chair.

Mr. MeLennan explained the principal prayed for by petitioners, and the necessity of its adoption He alluded to the present confused state of our enrreney. aud the desirability of introducing a ani- form system such as obtained jn the neigh bourivy Colonies. He suid that as far baek as the year 1860. un intimate friend of bis, then an hon. meniber of this House, advocated that measure; the chief ar- gument against the principle then was, that “ the time had not arrived” for the change which the system would effect in our momentary aftuirs ; he hoped, however, that that stale and hackneyed phrase would not now be repeated in arguing this question. He spoke of the facilities afforded ac- | countants by the decimal system, aud recommended its use in the various public oflices of the Colony.

He would, there- fore, support the motion made by the Hen. Col. Seeretary.

Hon. Mr. Coles moved, in amendment, that it be read again this day three months.

Mr. Moutgomery said he feared the Bill weuld prove injurious te the owners of sinall Fishing Vessels who might feel disposed to proceed to

Cleanse the Blood.

With corrupt, disordered or vitiated Kivod, you are sick all over, it may burst out in Pumples, or Sores, or some active disease, or it may merely keep yuu listioss, depressed and fur puthing. Lut you cannot bave good heaitu while your vlood is mupure, AYER'S DARSAPAKILLA purges vut these impurities and stimulates the urgans ot life inate vi- svrous action, restoring the healtu expelling divease. Hence it cures @ variety of complaints which are caused by impurity of the blood, such as Scrofula or King’s Evu, Tumors, Ulcers, Sores, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Biles, St. Anthony's Hire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter or Salt Kheum, Scald Head, Ring Worm, Cancer vr Cancerous Tumors, Sure Eyes, Female Diseases, such as Ke- tension, lrregularity, Suppression, Whites, Sterility, aiso Syphilis or bererval Diseases, Liver Com- plaints, und Heart Diseases. ‘Vry AYux’s Sar- SAPARILLA, avd see for yourself the surprising activity with which it cleanses the blood and cures these disorders.

During late years the public lave been misled by large bottles pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla fur one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilln, but often po curative proper- ties whatever. Hence, bitter disappointment have followed the use of the various extracts of Sareapa- rilla Which flood the market, until the name itseli has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call the compound “Sarsparilla,” and in- tend to supply sucu a remedy as shall rescue the name from the loud of obloquy which rest upon it We think we have ground for believing it bus Virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. We can only assure the sick that we offer them the best altera- tive which we know how to produce, and we have reason to believe itis by far the most effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered by any body.

AvYer’s CHERRY PecTorat is so universally known to surpass every other remedy for the cure of Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Bronchitis, Incipent Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced stages of the disease, that it is useless here to recount the eyi- dence of its virtues. The world knows them,

HUNNEWELL’S UNIVERSAL COUGH REMEDY.

There is, probably, no line of diseases which has been more erroneously treated than Throat aud Lung Complaints.

There is also not a recipe written, nor a prepar- ation before the public for the above complaints, that does not contain Ipecac, Antimony, Lobelia, or Opium, in some form or other, whieh I claim to be entirely unnecessary in nine-tenths of such cases. as they produce nausea, cause the stomach to repel food, and allow disease to triumph over what nature requires to keep up strength.
