D. Montgomery, late Speaker of the Assem- bly, Donald Palmer, Esqr., of Crapaud, aud an individual sometimes called Dr, Hendersou, and Sergt. Henderson, and Henderson the Quack, had been severally proposed on the Tory interest. There was another man vamed Mr, Neil Mehin- non, who had offered his valuable services by pub- insults with his offensive personalities, As 1 do hot wish to allow those remain unanswered for a week, I would feel obliged by your inserting in the Examiner of the 9th inst, a brief explanation.

But, says the is “ false as a bulletin.” Ido not like to use harsh lie advertisement, on the same side of politics; but though he was very savage against the “faalse Quack,” as ne very impolitely styled the gallant Sergeant, he was choked off at au early hour, aud the trouble then was to get Mr. Donald Palmer to retire. Mr. Alexander Robertson, of Bonshaw, had been proposed as a Candidate on the Liberal side. He had, however—injudiciously we think—offered to withdraw if the Tory party would withdraw one of their men. If the latter could accomplish this | object, they imagined there would be a pleasant | time for themselves, and the expense and trouble of a contest saved, ‘The whisperjng went on ata treyendous rate. Henderson was as ebstinate as a mule—he would not give up on any account; besides, he was the pominee and the right hand man of the Rev. G.

I do not know what Mr. Pope's couduct in private life may be, but certainly his conduct on the hust- ings is the very reverse of gentlemanly. Mr. Pope occupies the position of a gentleman. He is a member of the House of Assembly; he is also a member of the Executive Council, and a magis- trate, and besides, is he not Major of the Prince County Volunteers? Now, should not a man— whatever his proclivities may be—who occupies 80 high a position in society, and in the Goxern- ment, have some regard te the dignity ef his station, and not disgrace it by conduct which would be considered shameful and intolerable in the most humble ship-wright in bis employ.

His first excuse was to put Mr. Perry right in a matter of fact, something about Mr. Palmer's petitioning agamst the Award, He may have been right or he may have been, wrong, but having once got a going there. wae no ‘stopping the may, Mr. Perry has the manners of a gentleman and talks like a man of sense, besides |he is remarkably moderate in his views and tem- perate in his speceh.

To Tue Eprror or Tur Examiner. Sim, —~ Without entering into the merits of the dispute between the Revs. Messrs. Allan and Sutherland, I think no man can read the com- munication of the latter, in the last Protestant, without a sense of indignation that such sentiments should fiud utterance in this the nineteenth century, and be published in a paper which has for its motio, “ Prove all things,” &e, The words. to which I allude are: “ They (the Orangemen) are a great Protestant defence aasoviation; they are the peace constabulary of our country, Let the man Who values his own yospectability and influ- ence beware what he says against the Orangemen of P.

Sin,—As a looker on, and a disinterested person, I egnnat refrain fram giving ay outline of the | proceedings which took place at the Second Palling | Division (Sentyer’s) of the Fourth District of King’s Couuty.

And to confirm this manu of little wit ww his perfidy, @ J.

When a ‘Tory produced a eertificate, it was quite good; but when a Liberal shewed one af the same kind, and from the same Overseer, and given at the same time, it was pronouncad to be bad! This man of little wit would give it a shake in his hand and exclaim, “No good, no good,” Any amaunt of toatinony oan he produced to con- firm these charges, and others fylly as glaring, that oveurred in By presence. Aud tashow that gross injustice and corruption were practised to defeat Mr. Wightman, there were grog and half baked cakes provided at a twrn-coat's house near by, where the iterate got so elated, that on returning to the polling place, they attempted to vote the second time; and | believe they sueceeded in doing so, a8 there are vaies recorded bearing names that are not ta be found in the district. Speaking im- partially, T am certain Mr. Wightman lost at that polling division upwards of one hundred votes through trickery, deception and bigetry, and the want of competcut officers to test the voters on his aecount. No doubt the same wily, deep-laid schemes were resorted to in other parte af the district to accomplish bis defeat—winch, in wy opinion, must result ty bis benefit, much mare so than devoting his time to an unthankful public, whe will be able te judge whether he or Dr. Horn- brook, or “ Goliak,” aa served them most faith- fully, at the end of four yeara, When we look into the state af the country at the present time, and sce that we have a falling revenue, an increased taxation, a debt bordering on bankruptey hanging over our shoulders, and religion the stalking horse throughout the jand, we think Mr, Wightman need not regret the position he has lust by sucb unfair meaus, It is not an enviable one, indeed.

The hoary hair, the withered check, and the attenuation of age, were no protection against the cowardly assaults of those dastard rowdies. Their wordof ruffianisia—their drill and tavtios—taught them to respect neither age nor station, ngy any man who dared, in the exercise of his principle to vote in opposition to the Sutherland and Ross Candidates, ‘This political abomination, this ungbvristian spiril, these lawless tacties—this devilish game, qovised and inculeated by Sutherland and Ross, ‘have accomplished the object ; byt their cloth is stained, their moral status lowered, and the God whom they pretend to serve is dishonored inthem, they will get their deserts, “ Ty his lair fixed justiog halds his breath ntil the hour Ce itemstnont So disgusting was the ruffianisio and so revolting to manhood were t}e yiolent acta of Sutherland's rowdies on this occasion, that some of the Tory party present, repudiating the direct obstruction tu froedom Of election, and disgusted with the dastardly savage assaylt yy the old man, re- turned to their homes, refusing to give their names on the side of a cause, that to insure success to its banner, required the intervention of lawless rowdies, and a direct yiolation of the law of Election.

The Rev. atthe head of Prince Street been in flames—he He was the only individual upon whom the cold | weather ‘did not appear to have any effect, ex. citement kept him warm ; and when by dint of persuasion, entreaty and threats, Mr. Donald Palmer at length gave way, it was pleasant to see the relief experienced by Mr. Sutherland. How he rubbed his hands, chuckled, frisked, almost danced, when it was publicly announced that Messrs. Palmer and Robertson had withdrawn, or would not persist in the contest! The glorifi- eation did not last long. It wanted just ten ininutes to four, at which hour the Court would | be closed, when the Hon. George Bagnall was | proposed as a Candidate in the Liberal interest, ia the place af Mr. Robertson. The Rev. George clapped his hand te his ear, as if he were shot—he could hardly believe the testimony of his senses— the exuberance of his joy was rudely and cruelly checked—he looked daggers at Bagnall—whisper- ed excitedly in the ears of Henderson—the latter made a plunge upon the hustings, where for five minutes, he strained bis lungs to their utmost capa- city, in proclaiming his patriotism, disinterested- ness, geal far the public welfare, and all that sort of thing—his rival, Neil MeKinnen, still chewing the bitter cud of disappointment, exclaiming that all was “faalse” which had been uttered by the learned “ Quack Doetor,” as Mr. McKinnon per- sisted in cabling the gallant Sergeant. The candidates proposed for the second district, were, on the Tory side, George Beer and Jehn Goff, Esqrs.; on the Liberal side, David Lawson, of Stanhope, and Joseph Knight, of Charlotte town, Esquires. There was no excitement or flurry abeut their nomination. There were some silly persons, we are told, who turned up their noses at Mr. Knight's nomination—asserting that he isa stranger in the country, and only a Baker- Mr. Knight has been five years and a half in the Colony—the law relating te the election of Coun- cillors does not require so long a residence; and | if he be a stranger, the very first men in the country were all strangers as well as he at ove time of their lives, As to his being a baker, we cannot see that any disgrace attaches to that most useful and necessary ocecupation, It is quite as hanourable for him to seli loaves of bread as it is fur others to sell thread, needles and tape by the half-penny worth, or te scll a loaf of bread at five- pence as for a butcher to sell shin beef at two- pence per pound, There are some very foolish and conceited people jn our community who think that a man ought to be disparaged if he fol- Jow an humble but useful occupation, “If any person were deserving of sych disparagement, theye is not one member of the old Family Com- pact that should look his fellows in the face, Let us contrast Mr. Knight with Mr. Beer gr Mr. Goff. The Liberal candidate is quite as well in- formed as either of the Tory candidates — he can make, we believe, a better speech than either of them—and his vccupation is quite as respectable. He makes bread gnd sells it,—Mr. Beer sells the same article; and Mr, Goff labours with his own hands to raise the wheat out of which the article is manufactured, Searcely anything can be wore ridiculous aud coutemptible than to see the frjends of a man who sells a bushel of turnips for tenpence turn up their noses with aristocratic notions of respectability against another person who happens ta seli an honest loaf of bread for the same jones ; buf if the climay of absurdity can be reached, it is, when it is gravely argued that the retgiler of 4 cotton ball for a copper is a neh more res- pectable man than the vendor of a five-pouny loaf.

He is said to be @ candidate fur the Speaker's chair in the new House. It is to be hoped that when there te will soe something of the beauty of order, and that he will then realize how odious men of his kidney are to all lovers of right rule axd fair play. Mr. James Howat was, if I remember right, the first speaker. He, in a very neat speech, gave us his views on political matters. Mr. Howat appears like a very shrewd old gentleman, with an inexhaustible fund of good humor. Mr. Pope interrupted him, but did not succeed in putting him out of temper. Mr. Ramsay followed, whose speech consisted chiefly of expressions of sympathy with the ten- antry, and of indiguation against proprietary tyranny. The people might know the worth of such expressions by the circumstance of the speaker being supported on the right by the Hon. James Yeo and on the lett by the Hon. James C. Pope. Mr. Ramsay was not interrupted. He was asked by a gentleman—a Conservative—when he had finished, if in the event of his being elecved, would he throw up his office as Commissioner of Smali Debts. He replied that he weuld, adding, that the place was not worth holding ; leaving us to suppose that if he made anything by it he woald not willing to throw it up. A canny Scotch- man is Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Anderson was the next who spoke. His speech was ene of exense and explanation of cer- tain sayings of his before the Land Commission. I thought it strange that be did not read his state- ments as given by the Reporter. ‘That, I faney, would have been the readiest way of settling the matter. Perhaps he had a reason for not produe- ing the beok. Mr. Pope then came forward with his speech, recommendators and abusive. From this ] learned that Mr. Andersen had the mappreciable privilege of living within three miles of where Mr. Pope first saw light—that be bad known Mr. A. ever since he could remember — and in short, he was a very fit person to represeut the intellect aud respectability et the Second Legislative Council District of Prince County. What he said in favour of Mr. Ramsay I really forgot, but it was somothing equally clear and to the purpose. He afterwards made a desperate attempt to be witty and sarcastic at the expense of Mr. Howat. The boys laughed, and. Mr. Pope laughed, while Mr. Howat looked on and smiled, as a good-na- tured grand-papa Would on the misehievour prauks and pert sayiags af forward sehool-boys. Mr. Ramaay and Mr, Anderson should feel infinitely obliged to Mr. Pope for his patronage and support. Were it not for that gentleman’s amiable and es- timable quabties, there isno knowing what would have become of them among those argumentative Snatchers, It was well for them that Mr. Pope did come all the way’ from town to fight their battles, Poor men, without his aid, they cer- tainly would neyer haye stood their ground. James Howat alone would have demolished both of them jn no time, to say nothing of such power- ful adversaries as Messrs. Lord and Perry. To do the gentlemen justice, they seemed already se well used tothe harness, and so conscious of their own deficiencies, that they mechanically fell in to the back grouyd, and obsequiously allowed Mr. Pppe te pecupy the place which was theirs by right. But the leader of the Government knew, no doubt, that they were not to be trusted to act independently for eyen one day.

Mr. Palmer next addressed the meeting in his usual laboured style, eudeaveuring to justify all Mr. Beer had said. He stated that the Auditor had certified to the statements made by Mr. Beer,. and tried to justify the members of the Government with regard to the Prince of Wales’ Wine ew- bezzhoment. ; , Mr. Knight was é@alled on, and in a very neat and telling speech, rivetted the atteution of the meeting to his remarks. a4 Mr. Brecken next addressed the meeting in his wsual fiery manner, raising castles m the cir, awd then pulling them down, until the meeting got tired and cried him dowu with calls for Mr. Davies. Before Mr. Davies came forward, it being nearly dark, Messrs. Lawson and Knight were proposed. Messrs. Beer and Goi! were named on the ‘Tory, ride. The question ov their nomiuation being put from the Chair, the meeting divided, and from the numbers ow both sides being so nearly equal, both parties claimed a victory; but the Tory Chairman said the Tories bad the majority. However, when the cheering took place it was evident which party was confident f victory. Mr. Davies then, at that late hour, declined te address the meeting ; aud the people, net feeling disposed to listen te Mr. Beer the second time, the Charman left the Chair, and the meting dixpersed, evidently cou- vineed that a Government of Proprietors and Lawyers were not the parties to carry out any measure for the benetit of the teuantry. —— tt — THE MAN WITH THE UNCLEAN HANDS AGAIN SHOWN OUT OF COURT. ¢ 4a he ~~ . “ ‘ THE close attention necessarily gies te the ss elections has prevented us from noticing the deci--? sion pronounced by the Judges of the Supreme Court in the matter of Mr. Seeretary Pope's se- cond application tox a@ criminalanformation against the editor of Tue EXaminen. The grounds of that application were stated at some length during the October Michaelmas term of the Court, and published in our paper of the 10th November. Our ‘readers way remember that Mr. Pope was distinetly charged with having taken from the ‘Treasury of this Island Seven Hundred and Fifty pounds belonging to a person in Halifax, without ‘awful authority from that person.
