Oh! say they, ‘we can’t help it, The reckless ex: | travagance of the Conservatives rendered direct taxation absolutely neceasary.’’ We are not now concerned to defend Messrs. Yeo and Lefurgy, DeBlois, Gordon and Prowse from this grave charge. True, they were members and supporters of the Governmeot agiiast which it is preferred But they now patronize the Patriot, and may we not unreasonably look to it for an explanation. It is well, however that the public should now the truth of the case, and we publish the following abstract of receipts and expenditure during the last full year the Owen Government were in power. Should the Patriot uegiect to de- tend the gentlemen who support it, we may offer a few more figures in further illustration of the alleged extravagance of the late Government :— ~ RACEIPTS.

BANKS MCKEZIE IN THE MARKET HALL LAST EVENING. Tue Market Hall was crowded last night with as respectable an audience a3 ever a3- in Charlottetown to listen to “words of trath and soberness’’ from man's lips. Mr. McKecnie, the popular Presid nt, opened with a few remarks, and was fol'owed by Mr. A. A. McKenzie, the Vice-President, who introduced Mr, Stet- hem of the H 1 fax Retorm Ciub,who spoke vt the formation of a Reform Ciub at Als berton, numbering about 180 members. (he names of the Hon. Mr. Howlan and Reid ensured success to it, and when he ieft only four men were outside the m>vement and probably by this time they were included init. Mr,U. Hunt, of the Summerside Reform Club, told of the great success of their Club, and the rapid progress they were making—in nowise be-~ hind their Charlottetown brethren. One of the ladies of the choir sang a pretty solo with chorus by the choir—'* The World is Moving on.” D. Banks McKenzie, on coming for-~ ward, was greeted with loud applause, Although glad to get home on account of Mrs. McK , who was a very bad sailor, and the season was advancing; yes he felt a little homesick on leaving us, if he might use the expression, as he felt so thoroughly at home here. On first coming awonyst us he felt a little discouraged; but he soon sembied ’ warmer bearted people. When he got back here again, 28 he hoped to and luoked for- ward to, he thought he would find it hard work to hunt up arum shop. Already he found a difference. ‘The liquor dealers are tooking in vain for the old siguatures to their petitions,, but be was sorry to hear that one who hada) the honors of the Club heaped on him was helping the liquor-deal- ers with his name on their requisition. He trusted that, when his name is known, his head will hang pretty low with shame. | aroend the Market House is more lively. ' Prices ranged as follows: Pork (per cars Ile warned the ‘blue ribbon men - from signing such petitions, fur the man who helps to get a license granted is as morally guilty as the man} who dcais on the “devil's poison’ to unfortunate vid tims.
