Some, perhaps, vould bedisposed to think that any add) vonal tax on lend, even for so desirable an weet as free educanor, would be felt asa very serianas additional burthen by many ia the eoudry, Hie, however, thought differently ; for, while it was very true iaat it would be difficult for many to pay the smallest additional tax ; it was equally a, that many Who had no children, and who, consequently, contribated nothing ‘rectly towards the payment of the Sala- cs of Schoulmasters. would, of a smal) additisnal land tax were imposed for the support of the free educational scheme, ve made te contribute directly towards it, io the great relief of many who were sow enable to procure any thing like school ed. veation for their children. Mr Tuoxnton said he was favorable to (he imposition of a tax, the proceeds of éhich should be applied to the pavinent of 1@ Salanes of Schushnastecs to the exclu- rom of alt fees; but he was net by any means prepared to say that he would con— cenit to an additional dand-tax, for this or any\other purpose just now.

THIS admirable article has been tested for some years, and proved very valuable, becoming a perfect slate, as hard a8 mar- vle ina few months, completely protect- ing whatever is coated with it from the action of weather and fire—a_ better fire- proof than tin or xine. Several Insurance Companies eerti'y they will insure build- ings covered with it ata cheaper rate, than if covered with those metais. It is of two cojors, the black is best for roof- ing—the chocolate the best thing ever discovered for sides of either bock or wood, forming @ perfect stone coaung of a haudsome stone or chocolate color, can be easily changed by a little white lead to suit the taste. ‘There is nothing equal to it for steumboat and car decks, and uil kinds of iron,as it forms a coating near- lyas hard asthe iron itself, and never cleaves off. BEWARE OF WORTHLESS COUNTER- FEITS. As the popularity of my paint has in. duced scores of unprincipied individuals to crind up, and offer as fire-proof paint, all kinds of worthless stuff, much of it nothing but rotten sione that bas no co- hesive attraction, is held on by the oil with which itis applied; consequently, as soon as the action of the atmosphere destroysthe oil, it will wash or rub off like Chalk or Whiting, nothing can yet be kriown of its lasting qualities, as it is but little over a year since they got them up, Whereas mine has been tested about s-ven, and where first applied is now like a stone. ‘The original and genuine article can be obtained of PATRICK STELHENS, Orwell, my authorised Agent for the Is- anc, Niep Rann, Agent st Charlottetown, Wm BLAKE, Patentee.

GENTLEMEN— P{Avine been chosen by the Majority of the [louse of Assembly to fill the office of Colonial Secretary, under we new system of Government, and his Ex- cellency the Lieut. Governor, in accord- ance with the wishes of that Majority, having appointed me thereto, ny seat ya the Assembly has become vacant, and | arm required to go back to you, in order that you may ratify by re-electing me, the selection which His Excelleney and the Majority of the Assembly have made. You are no doubt aware, by the pub- lished proceedings of the Asseasbly, that } recorded ray vote against giving retiring allowances io the Attorney General ond Colonial Secretary. This vote was giver by me with much reluctance, but in strict conformity with » pledge I had made te you. I regretted having given this pledge, inasmacl as it compelled me te appear in opposition to that party with whom 1 have uniformly acted—for, were I not restrained by my pledge, [| should have cheerfully voted with the Majority ; because | cannot deem that the conces- sion made by the Assembly,and demanded by the Lieut. Governor, in compliance with his tmiperative instructions, ought te be pul in comparison with the immense advantages which wall acerve to this Co- lony from the introduction of Responsible Government. It is not necessary that I should particularise these advantages on this occasion, as I have no doubt they are well understood by most of you, and as | will have a better opportunny of en- tering intoa full explanation of them, should that be required, at the time of the election. Suffice it wo say that, indepen- dently of the great privilege which the people now possess, under the truly Brities system of Government conceded to this Island, of controlling the administration of their own affairs—Imperial revenues to the amount of nearly two thousand pounds, bitherto beyond the controu) of the Legisiature, have been surrendered to the Colony. In cone!usion, | trust that my past con- duct is a sufficient guarantee that | have not sbused the confidence with whiek you have honoured me; and cheered by the consciousness of having faithfully discharged my duty, | am now embolden ed to solicrt your sulfrages at the enswing Election.
