EA8ZAllD’S GAZETTE. ‘mm Wednesday, Jane"7..ll-85.47‘ 1 3 We now come to the consideration cfliir Alexan- der Bsuneruisn’s note of the 20th May last. In this most extraordinary and uncalled for document, be en- sures the people of this Island "that in dissolving the House of Aseenibly be exercised ii right which is veited in him," and asserts “that he possesses the power to prorogue, adjourn, and dissolve the House ofAssembly, with or without the advice of his Ex- ecutive Council." This is what is called in logic a pelilio prirrcipii; or, as it is familiarly termed. beg- ging Ihe question, now we plainly tell Sir Alexander lianncrnirin that his assertion is not correct, and that he has no such power under the Queen's commission or instructions; and we have no doubt or misgivings, but that ive shall be able to put the matter fsirly to issue before the competent authorities, rind get a decision in our favour; we thank him, however, for the information "that his removing to another colony will not shelter him from the censure of his sovereign, which he would well merit, he says, if he has dis- obeyed lier Msjesty’sinstructions." &c. Though we could Iiave predicted the same fate, were it not that we suspect strongly. that his banishment lo the Send- kevs of the Bahamas has been for the purpose of put- ling him out of the reach of further mischief. Be- sides. wlist generous or lilicml mind would exalt in the puuislin-enl ofs criminal. All the censure in the world, even bud Sir Alexander's mind been ca- pable of being affected by it, would not repair the evil be has alrenriy committed, and the blow given to the constitutional liberties nfllie people oflhis Island. ll is not, however, willi the person of Sir Alexnnder Biinncrninn, that we have In do, nor do we case who! becomes of him nfler be quite our shores. but F I’ ‘ . ‘I I ‘ I. |lILlII." we nre compelled Io follow up our review of his im- conxtitulionsl conduct as l.ieuIemint Governor and expose ihe ignorance, f'.ilsclior-d, rind fallacies Illa; clisrncierize it. It is said in the fourth pnrngrupli, that “what is usually termed lioesponsible Govern- uncut, has no legal dqfinifiori. What does the wri- ter mean, or did he know wliul lie nicmil wlicn lie inuile use ofllic words whicli we here put into iln- lini.’ But be, Sir Alexander, line given u definition. which is notn lcgnl dcliuiliombut which will do for all practical purposes, and which has been, he is glad to soy, approved of by high uullioriiice. 'l‘he following is Sir Alexander's definition, rit least ilie only thing at all resembling it that we can fiiiil in the closing speech of l85l; and we must say that, however high in riuiliority those were, who approved ,of it as a iicfmiliou of Responsible Governnienl, they must have licuii deplcrsbly low in intellect; a coincidence, lioivcver, by no means an- frequciit in those inlrusled with the mnnageiiieul of public affairs. “ 'l‘hc passing of the Bill, liowevcr, enabled me to introduce what has long been sought for in ibis colony, a change in the system of its government. It will be sufficient for the people to understand, that this change will give to the persons who possess their confidence ii large share ofilic lixecaiivs l’uwcr,and a proper control over the innnsgemcnt of the local of- fnirs, and expenditures nfllic colony; and when they cease to perform these duties sntisfsciorily to their constituents, opportunities will occur for changing them." We think, however, that Responsible Government is susceptible of bolli ii legal rind an intelligible definition, and it is simply this : " lllfll the acts of ihe person adiiiinistrating the Government shall be inva- lid; unless they have been first submitted to, and up- proved of, by his Executive Council." This, how- ever, is a definition loo plain and too easy to be un- derslood to please an irresponsible Lieutenant Go- vernor; rind, as such, would be repudiated by Sir Alex- under, who would seem to tliink,Ilint any thing will be sufficient for the people, and that in fact, the lose they understand, Ilie better. We now come to a part of the note which clearly indicates that Sir Alexander had made up his min to thwart the new ndminiiurntion; and. by every means in his power, to supplant tlie menibeis of ii, if possible, nud lo introduce his own crcslurcs, the lnie ndiuinixirniiou, in their stand. " When the nlixinge of Goveriiiiicnl occurrod,,_in February liisl, the Liout Governor forexnw,—qu., forclcld—lluit if ilie new adiiiininlrnlion pr-ruevsred in following out their plan of excluding salaried or departmental officers from seats in the Legislslurc (a principle adopted in" the United~BIiites.) it would prove an element of discord, and produce a collision wilh Ihe iwo branches of the Legislature." Now, in the first place, the question of Departmental Govern- ment, and its adaptation io the peculiar circumstan- ces oflhis colony, has been for the last three years mooted in every possible form.—-on the floor of the Assembly, in the public newspapers, before meetings ofilie Electors, and en the hueiings. It was a pony question freely rind l'nirly_canvsssed ; and the House, oflB5.'i was elected for the very purpose ofcsrryingont the decision which had been pronounced by the people themselves, which wss,—llintit was inexpe- dient that the public ssleiied servants should be members of ihe l.cgislature-s principle adopted in the United States, and Sir Alexrinder ought to have added, by the Parliament of Canada, and one which ought to be adopted by every Colonial Legislruurs throughout the extent of the llritish Dorninions. And what, we would ask, had the Legislative Coun- cil tc do wilh the matter? it did produce a collision, but what then.’ The Bill for the introduction ofa police, ‘LI 1 thrown out by the Legislative Council, upon gfounds ihe most unjustifiable and the must unconstiiuiionril, a more question of expense, the ssltlemenl of which belonged to Ihe Assembly and to it alone. In order in effect their perposs, the l .gislstl've Council object- ed to the £l000 granted to the Royal Agricultural Society and threw out the Bill for the exclusion of odieers of Government. " It was on the link of April. that the Legislative Council passed an address, couched in as unmistaka- sble isreis." No! for these terms were wiihest doubt, either dictated by the Llest. Governor, or sub- rn for his prevlees epprovalfsad this is, we think. proved by the manner in which Ihe Lieat. Governor noted. lmaiedlstoly on the receipt of it. Instead of doing seen upright. manly and just admin- islrstor of the Government would have done, in place of summoning his Executive Council, his ennui. rational advisers, and laying the document both" the members of that Board. for they had a rights. pass their opinion upu it individually, and |.. V“ bound to be governed by that advice; or ‘if he sag- scisntiously dilsrsd with them. it was his duty Q. inform them, that he intended to eebuiit the |n|||.I’ tolhe Duke of Newcastle, and invite them to per their opinions in writing, so that he might lrnnemig both together, and leave the minister to judge of the necessity, of expediency, of the policy to he pursued under the circumstance. Instead ofwliicli. Iliis would have been acting like a gentlemen, and what h of more consequence like an honest msn—in piece of giving them a copy of his own inner to the noble Delia, and thus convincing than that he was aclu- sled by no mesri desire of being the head of alfsc. tion, but anxious that the whole truth shonld apps", and the decision arrived at grounded on promise; which could not be contravened or gsinssid—instsad of pursuing the open path, so that no blame whatever could have been imputed to him, but rather that the niesd of prsise,which is always awarded Io fsir. candid, and temperate conduct, would have been accorded to that of Sir Alexander Besnormaa—wht then was his conduct .’ He himeelftelle us that having received the address of the Legislative Council. on the 20th, he on the 2lsI—ihe dsy sfler—forwarded a copy to the Colonial Minister, confidentially com- niunicating to him the state of parties in the Colony, and that nothing in his opinion would determine the question upon which the Assembly and Council were at variance, and enable the present, or any Genre- meat to perform their Executive functions and duties to the public, but an appeal to the Country.” Does Sir Alexander Bsnnerman recollect, that when he first came to this Government, he repudiated the idea of any thing like confidential daspetchoe; ihsi he asserted, that he replied to Earl Grey, who llllfl stated that he could communicate confidentially with him, “ that he, Sir Alexander, would have nothing to do with writing confidentially, but that every thing should be done openly!” This was a reply worthy of a just Governor, and it would have served Sir Alexander better. bad be adhered to it. But where. we risk. was the necessity for any confi- dential communication inihe matter.’ And what has Sir Alexander stated to he the stain of parties in the lslnnd? Hire he stated the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth ? We are perfectly satis- find that he llnl not. For bed he done so, the Duke of Newcastle would at once have said: “ The people of Prince Edward Island have a right to please them- nelvcs in ibis matter of Departmental Government. lflhey wish to follow the example ofCsneds, and exclude Salaried Ofiicere from the Legislature, let ilicm do so. The Legislative Council have nothing to do wiiliihe matter, for it is extremely improper llisr men, who are the more nominees of the Crriwn,‘ and who, by the very nature of their appointment, are placed as ii coniroul over the people's represents- iivei, and in no ways responsible to them, should hold oflices, which are in the gift of the people, and to whom they should be responsible, while those who stand in a posilion antagonistic to the people and the people’sinlercsls, are not." But the real situation of sfiiiirs in the Colony, csnnct have been put in their true light before the Duke, for each garbled portions of the answer, II Sir Alexander has given us, show that each must have been the case; for, in ,lu S--s place, Sir Aleanrnioi Daiirieriuuifls Govern- incnt has not been conducted with so much approval on the part cfthe Country, as the Duke has been led in believe. On the contrary, the list Election showed that the reverse was the case, and that the nisjoriiy of the House was composed of men who held opinions entirely different from those of Sir Alexander; though, taking the statement of thslstter to be true, His Grace was not satisfied that Sir Alexander Ban- nermsn's remaining in the Island, would be any longer advisable. His Grsce,doubtlese, saw there was something wrong, and therefore deteriniood to send a man, whose previous long experience of Colonial matters, would enable him to see more clearly as to wlist was the true state of affairs in the Colony, and from whom we doubt not, that he will receive the lruih; and we will venture to add, that the statements of the one, mueinecesserily he, in nll important matters, the reverse ofthe other. "Un- der these circumslances," says the Duke of Newcas- tle, "I leave it to yourself, with full confidence in your judgment, to take such steps in relation to the Executive Council and Assembly, as you may think proper, before leaving the Government." ‘Under what circumstances, we ask.’ Why does not Sir Alexander give ihe whole of his confidential deepalch, sndihe whole ofihe Dake's answer? We should then have seen. what was Ihe true meaning of this conclusion. We are satisfied that something remains behind, that he is unwilling to publish. We shrill, however, have an opportunity of commenting upon both some day; for an application will doubt- less he made for thern,snd his Grace will hardly refuse to give copies of both. " With full confidence in your judgmenL"!—Ws know not how long it is since his Grace has seen and csnvevsed wiiliflir Alexander, but we do not venture much. in sflrniiug that if he were here daring the last twelve DOIIIII, his confidence in his judgment would have under- gone a incst material change. in fact, had Sir Alex- snder Bsnnerrnen been of the finest judg- ment that has ever fallen to the lot of nine, his habits of indulgence and iniernperels eieoss must have impaired it, for it is no secret, that he is not a member or any of ihe Orders or Societies of the Bone or Friends of Temperance. This note of sir Alexander Bennsrinsn'e, if meant as a justification of his conduct, is a total failure, and every impartial person who perosee it. mast pensive. that though, containing expressions that would, at first sight, sppesr lojusllfy his ecnduet—snppsslng even that the concurrence ofllie Duke of Newcastle would effect a justificstion—yst. without the aid of tlie previous documsnt—8ir Alexander's ooehdeniial despritch-—ihese expressions are as nalatelllgihle as mere answers would be, without the previous qaean tions, which led to them. We have heard, we can hardly my with astonish- ment. that its Lieut. Governor has the Hon.
