I observe, also, an insinuation in the Islander, evideutly from the pen of the Colunial Secretary, that the Liberals are instigating the tenantry to furm themselves into leagues tor the purpose of resisting the paymeut of rents. I know that I have never encouraged anything of the kind, and I believe that those leading gentlemen of the Liberal party with whom I usually act, have not done so. But it is tiat the greatest excitement prevails in districts represented by wembers of the Government and their supporters. Neither myself nor any of my fellow labourers in the Liberal cause who reside in Charlottetown, has had any connection with the public meetings recently held in various parts of the country.. An attempt was made, a short time since, to connect me with a public meeting, lately called at Fort Augustus, amongst my own econ- stituents, avowedly for the purpose of forming a Tenant League; but 1 declined to attend, not | knowing who called the meeting; and I was afterwards informed that two bailiffs of a certain Landlord and Agent were the ringleaders in the affair.

Governor Smith's proceedings, return for their representatives the Opposition—men swayed by the influence and patrouage of that party — and that then the couutry would net only havea Court of Exscheat, but Responsible Government also. it was tiader these coosderations they were induced wv give up the mode of proceeding by Escheai, and adopt the policy then laid dowa by Mr. Coles, their leader, who, from that time, they recognised as such, and who adhered faith- fully to Lis promises, which he had commenced people, yielding to the ery of a desiguing faction, returned a majority of their enemies—wolves in sheep's cloihing—to the Assembly, who now offer them, as a return for their fully, the land at sixieen years purchase, cash dowa.
