A meeting of the like character teok place in Dr. Cheever’s Church.

Last week a peace demonstration was held in Union Square, New York, at which there wasa large attendance of the fair sex.

Lomax told the following story :—** Henry Hether- ington published the Poor Man’s Guardian, which struck the first practical blow at the obnoxious stamp duties. The yendors used to sell a straw and give the paper. One day there came to their rendezvous at New Cross Street, a youth, one of a class known in those days as a big ‘ piercer.’ Le told them that two of the newspapers had just been taken to the New Bailey, and added to this effeet— * it I had something to start with I would go out to sell them; for if they put me in prison they would have to keep me." Lomax took round his hat, half-a-crown was raised ; the lad was furnished with a supply of papers, went out, sold them, and took care of the profits ; and so on from little to more, by dint of industry, steadiness, and aptitude for business, he achieved a position in suciety.

While following Mr. Johnston's stan- dard, they were not leas liberal than they had been in the olden time; but there is much reason to believe that when the coalition was formed, Mr. Johnston cooled in his ardor fur old fashioned Toryism. It is very certain that from that time his policy has not been characterised by any mea- sure unworthy of a liberal spirit. This cannot be said of the old recreant Liberals, while, inde- pendent of their fanaticism in religious matters, they adopted one of the very worst phases of Toryisin in passing the new Franchise Bill, which, according to their organ, the Morning Chronicle, Don't we all know the article was written by | are sorry to way that our Island is very little Whelan or Father Angus; well, if it was not. written by either of them, it was written at the! Now and then request of either, and therefore we cannot regard | it with ‘ other feelings than those of supreme con- | tempt.’ ” Perhaps it would be as well to quate | the exact words in which a wholesale condeaima- | tion of this kind has been lately uttered. In the | Monitor of the 28th ult., we read as follows:— “Now, while we have no objection to see our British and Colonial contemporaries turn their attention to the various questions which agitate little Priuce Edward Island; and while we can- not be insensible either to their unsolicited praise or impartial censures, we are nevertheless com- pelled to say, that the notices with which the St. John Globe, Quebee Vindicator, Montreal True | Witness, Halifax Reporter, and London Tablet sometimes honor us, excite in our winds no other feelings than those ef supreme contempt. We have reason to believe that Edward Whelan, Father Angus, Bishop Maclotyre, Dr. MacKeon, and others, have uot only written to the editors and proprietors of these journals, but to several others, soliciting them te write and publish the very opinions copied into the Vindicator and Ex- aminer, and to which the editors of the two latter bave so cuistantly directed the attention of their readers.” One of two inferences must be drawn from the | known abroad, even amongst intelligent classes. an adventurous Englishman or Provincial, who is willing to put up with a sort of semi-civilized existence fer a few days, takes his herring and potatoes here, avd Jearns a few facts about our party squabbles and modes of life, and these facts he works into an article mixed with a great deal of nonsense, such as we read, a short time ago, in an English or Irish paper, about Mr. Howatt going to stop the American war by a resolution in our House of Assembly. We are not going to put out any foolish brag for our fellow Colonists, nor are we disposed tu vo- lunteer our literary services in their bebalt, but we do firwly contend that P. E. Island will never be known abroad unless it is through the talent and learning of her own people; and it does not signify a pin's point who exercises the talent and learn ing—whetber they are shown in anonymous writ- ings or not—so long as the writings are truthful and to the purpose. Every P. E.

In speaking of the followers of the Young Ireland party in Halifax, we suid that they were “bitterly opposed | to England in that struggle’—the Russian war. Mr. Pope quotes these words no less than seven times in the course of a very few remarks, with the evident Sstention of showing that they were designed to apply to all the Catholics of Nova Scotia, which is very far from the fact. In short, the editor of the Islander wishes to impress the minds of his readers with the belief that the whole Catholic population of Nova Scotia were deeply infeeted with disloyalty—that Mr. Howe was en- gaged in exposing it to just reprobation, and that . for his good service he and his immediate friends their readers.” As one of the individuals thus | our beaver 4 foot high, and | hesterfield himself might envy.

The argument, we shall suppose, is overwhelmiug—the illustrations are exactly in point—the wit is seen flashing and stinging through every senfence. The town is ringing with the praises of the great production—the enemies of the Government are covered with dismay ; our friend Donald puts on his best white beaver, and gives an extra flourish to his cane as he takes his walks abrord to revel in che admiring glances of an in- telligent public, and to suck in with delicious unction the whispered words of the passers-by :— “ That’s the author of the great artiele in the last were rewarded with the Goyerument yf the Province. chester.”’ Monitor. Is he not a splendid looking fellow ? Can there be any wonder that he writes with _such dignity and force?” Would it be a fair re- gether unsupported by such things as distinguished ancestry, education, talent or wealth.
