If this be not practising deception of a most disgraceful character, we really know net what deception is, it was broadly asserted in the Monitor, a few weeks ago, that the Government were promised the support of the Catho- hes of this Colony if a grant were given to St. Dunstan's College.

In the last No, of the Orange organ a most lamentable attempt is made to wriggle out of this falsehood. Alluding to the editor of the Examiner, the Monitor says :— ‘* with falsehood and impudence for hinting that the Govern- ‘* ment wizht calculate upon Romish rwpport, if their wishes ‘* were conceded in the matter of endowments. Now, Mr. ** Whelan knows, and Mr. Coles knows, that to-morrow the ‘* raling power of the Romish ehureh would sever its connec- ‘* tion with the Liberal party, if the Goverzmen’ would only ‘* reinstate them in their loet supremecy.

J. B. Cooper is too insiguifieant for public notice ; and as for W. H.

In point of efficiency, St. Dunstan's is fully equal to the Prince of Wales College, which receives a very large share of the public muney, and has no more of a sectarian eharacter abeut _it than the latter institution. St. Dunstan's College enjoys, we admit, the confidenge of nearly one half the population of the ‘Island, and we sappose that is # good reason why it shonld vot receive a shilling of the money which that half pays to- wards the support of the Government. As respects the as- sertion that the Bishop of Charlottetown or * others in hie confidence’’ aliuded to Catholic support in return for a grant to St. Dunstan's College, we state again most positively and authoritatively, that no pulitical support from the Catholics was promised by his Lordship or any ‘others in his confidence.” The Monitor is very anxious that the Protestant Liberals should cast off their Catholic brothren who hold the same political opinions as they do themsclves. This is the aim of Bigotry and Orangeism all over the world. To infuse reli- gious rancour into the breast of every Protestant—to represent the Catholic as the type of an inferior race, to disunite him from his brethren, and then to proscribe and trample upon him—are the oaly means the Bigots have for building up po- - litical supremacy, Thank Hesyen the day bas gone by when such an unholy crusade can have the slightest prospect of succees in Prince Edward Island. THE GOVERNMENT ys. STEAM COMMUNICATION. Tux leading article in the Islander of Friday last purports to be an explanation of the misunderstanding between she Government of this Island aud Mr. Boultenhouse, owner of the Westmorland, with respect to the discontinuance of the ser- vices of that vessel asa mail packet. It appeare the Govern- ment required certain repairs to be done to the Westmorland in the Spring of this year, before the inails were given t» her ~—that, amongst other things, Mr. Boultenhouse was asked to have the hull of his vessel “surveyed by two competent ship carpenters appointed by the Government for that daty, and certificate of approval obtained.” Although it is not denied that Mr. Boultenhouse made the repairs to his boat that were pointed out as necessary, he did not get the survey of the bull, alleging that there was no place at Charlottetown harbour or Shediac to throw over his vessel, in order to have her bottom thoroughly examined. He has now taken her to Halifax, where she will be laid up in a dry dock, to undergy all the examination and repairs that may be necessary, But previous to going to Halifax, she made her trips betweea Charlottetown, Pictou, Shediac and Beteque, with her usual regularity, and had a fair number of passengers egeh trip. The Colonial Se- cretary himself, while decrying the Boat as unseaworthy, did not hesitate to trust his precious carcase in her from Suediae ; the Postmaster General of New Brunswick, who visited our Island a few days §g0, to ascertain, if possible, tho cause of the humbug about the Mails not being forwarded to Suediae 4s in former years, had confidence enough in the Steamer to take passage in her; and two Executive Councillors, the Hon. James Yeo and the Hon. J. C. Pope, were also glad enough to avail themselves of her accommodation. And yet the Goverument will not give tho Mails to # steamer oper to entrust more than in which members of the Council aud the Colonia) Seexesany ** And yet this gentleman has the hardihood to charge us - a .
