Twere were several points in the speech of Mr. Fred Peters, Q. C., delivered yes- terday, op the address, with which all reasonable men will agree. First, as to the breach of the breach of Lord’s Day Act. Mr. found the Stanley at g and Peters says that he on Sunday a id Fictou wornit he came aboard was brought oyer.

We do pot hesitate to say that the men responsible deserve the reprobation and censure of all who believe that itis right to keep holy the Lord’s day. Another point upon which we are agreement with Mr. Peters refers to bis Mr. Peters says to object, excep, 10 seat in the Legislature. a right constituents. That is true. But Mr. Peters forgets that constituents have not yet been afforded an opportuuity to express their opinion about the matter. They elected Mr. Peters at a that no one has his nis Government, when he controlled the pai- rovage of the Administration, when he re- sided in Charlottetown,when he could at all times represent their local interests and, also, let this man and that voter have an occasional fiveor ten or twenty dollar bill, turbed all these close and kindly He went all but four thousand + calles away tothe other side of the contin- But for ressons of his own, he dis. rela- tions, ent, completely out of his constituents’ reach.

The Opposition are, in duty bound, to de~ mand the fullest information upon the sub- ject and to protest against the arrangemeal should the un- information prove to be satisfactory. We hope and trust, however? that the Government wil! be able to give the Opposition and the couatry the fullest satisfaction, and taat the Legislature will be able to standas a unit in this regard. It was not, at - all events, nec~ essary for Mr. Peters to come four thousand miles across the continent, and to accomplish a scandalous breach of the epirit of the Fourth Commandment, as well as of the law of the Jand, toteach the gentlemen of the Opposition this simple | lesson in patriotism.
