The majority is unexpected ly large, as, after the caucus of the -ppon- ente of the Bill, a majority of twenty-seven agéinst it was confidently relied upon. The conversion of this adverse majority into o @ still larger one in favor of the Bill, ia) doubtless owing to the pressure of pablo opimon and the ascendancy which the strong common sense of the more moderate members gained daring ths debate. Indeed the Tory Lorda, howevor earnest and sincere their op- pesition to the Bill, could seareeiy have maintained their reputation as Cons:reatives by rejecting it, x<euch 2 coutse would have been anything but conservative of the best | interests of the nation. Public sentiment thus outraged would doubtless have instigat ed violent measures, ant in the end the Howse muat hav> been the loser in a contest so unequal.

Charlottetown, July 5, 1869. ‘Tus Electors of the Fourth District ot Queen's County will shortly be called upon te re-elect the Hon. Benjamin Davies, who re-, cently accepted the office of Colonial Seere- tury. Mr Davies, at the last election, received the support of the Catholic electors of the district. Le came before them « professed Liberal. They believed his professions, and they voted for him. Mr. Davies bas proved his liberality by declaring against the right of Catholics to receive aid ia support of their schools. He is, therefure, unworthy the sup- port of any Catholic elector, aud our hope’i. that no Catholic elector will so far forget his duty to himself and to the cause of Christian: education, as to vote for him. It matters not who may be his epponent. The duty of ali electors, friends of relizious education, Pro- testant as well as Catholic, will be to record their votes avainst the man who refuses to assure them that he will support grants to Denominational Schvolg established in the Towns and Villages of this (sland Is is as,’ serted and industrivusty reported throughout the Island by the enem:es of religious educa- tion, that the Cutholic laity differ from their Bishop upou the subject of Denominational Schools—that the Bishop desires to see the Denemimnationa! Systa.a of Education engraft- ed upon the existing school system, bu: that the laity desire no such thing, and they point to the late election at Summerside as proof of the truth of these assertions, We believe that every intelligent Cathclic in every district of the Island regards the claims put forth by the Bishop ja his memorial to the Government asking for aid to Catholie schools, as proper and just —regards the ignoring of those claime as a gross act of injustice, and desires to see the Education Law so gmended as to admit of the moueys voted from the public Treasury, for the engouragement of education, being shared equitably among all properly conducted schools, aud believes that of all schools those in which Christian education is imparted are best entitled to their support. Catholics are not the only persons in Prince Edward Island who desire to see their children religiously educated. Among Protestunts we are happy to say there are very many whose views upon this most important subject are in harmony with the views of Catholics, In the British Parliament the law recently passed relating to public Education in Scotland expressly pro- vides for the eupport of denominatisnal schools. In England, Scot'and and Ireland, Catholic schools receive Government aid, but in Prinee Edward Island, the claims of those who ask aid for denominational schools are disregarded. The fmends of Christian Education must now take their stand and make up their minds that they will obtain their rights, in a constitutional manuer. To ali Outholics we say, vote for no man who is not prepared to do you justice in the matter of education, by giving you a tair share of the money raised by taxation of Cutholies in come non with Projestants, for the support of your | schoola, Catholic electors placed in power every-member of the perty now dominant yet the cla:ms of Catholics have been repudiated by this party, aud those in whom Gagholics trusts | ed have decieved them. The claims put forth hy Catholics are not unjast in any respect. They are most important, end Catholics will have themselves to blame if they do not pri - cure them in full. In the existing Govern- ment they can have no confidence. They have seen that ujtempts have been made by a few members of the Goverament party to forta a coalition with the view of withholding from Catholics their rights. Let Catholics of the Fourth District of Queen's County now show Mr. Davies that they appreciate the co:.- | duct of the Government. > —-_ -- HOTEL ACCOMMODATION. ~—s Aa.
