Be that as it may, both of you may rest assured, that the rule laid down in the Responsible Govern- | mentSystem must be followed, viz: “ That the Representative of the Sovereign is to administer the Government in accordance with the wants and wishes of the people ae expressed by them throngh their Re- | presentatives in Colonial Parliament As- sembled,” and that no trifling, no half , measure of Responsible Government will be sufficient to give stability to the Go- vernment, authority to the Assembly, and eatisfaction to the people. Is there a per- son in the Island with soul so mean and dead, who, on visiting the sisier Colonies, would not feel the blood rushing to his eyes and the roots of his hair for very shame, when he had to answer in the ne- gative when asked if they had Responsi- ble Government in Prince Edward Island’ end what was the cuuse they head it not? Surely Earl Grey must have received his information from some interested and cor- rupt source, when he wrote, that this Island was not ripe for Responsible Government, ju consequence of the want of Education- al[nstitutions.

If we had morespace than we knew how to 4ill, we would still consider that it would be a waste of time to reply to their dull and tedious arguments on this subject. Their having recourse to it, when all other expedients and cunning devices fail, shews plainly how much they are alarmed lest the approaching Elec- tions should prodnce a result unfavorable to the interests of their masters. We re- joice to see them tremble. Falsehood, folly | of the Oligarchy. We commend patience tion which awaits the politica! misdeeds and courage to the Islander and Gazette; the nasty childish trick of seeking to frighten honest people with the bug-a-bog of Antexation only serves to excite laughter and contempt at the perpetrators, , a TO CORRESPONDENTS, The communication signed “ Joe” has been received, and will be taken into “* nquirer’—In answer to this corres- ap undoubted fact that His Excellency has threatened to complain of a Gentle- man connected with the Ordnance Depart - ment in this ‘own should he vote against the Government Candidate, Mr. Palmer, at the approaching election. When we consider that the gentleman alluded to holds his office independently of the Lieut. Governor, we cannot but agree with our correspopdent that His Excel- lency’s interference in the matter is almost too grossly tyrannous for belief, even though the officer thus interfered with were properly under his dominiun.
