Washington, D. C., Sept. 29th, 1866. The kinduess of some unknown friend has, this week, furnished me a number of the Examiner. Itis the first P. E. Island paper that I have seen for nearly seven years. An active participation in American politics, as well as in the great civil conflict that, at one time, threatened the dismemberment of this Republic, so much occupied my time, and en-! grossed my thoughts, that I utterly lost sight | of the beautiful little Island that was the home of my happy boyhood and early manhood. Until I had seen your paper, I did not even know what political party was in the ascendant in your country. I was surprised te learn that the Conservatives, or tories, as you used to de- nominate them, still held the reins of Govern- ment. To an outsider like myself, it speaks | vather well of their administration of public | aifairs that they should be so long able to hold power, which they at first attained by what | regarded at the time as a species of evanescent | . . . | and factitious popularity, derived from their ad- vocacy of certain measures which did not properly appertain to polities. The party owe i me some kindly memories; for the last vote I | gave in P. E. Island was for « Conservative candidate for member of Parliament. Remem- bering that vote, I hope the party will remain | free from the insolence aud corruption, which a| long lease of power always imparts tu the cha- racter of majorities in this country. In looking over your advertizing columns, I perceive what wonderful changes a few brief years have eiiected in your society. I see the names Of men that were prominent in business when T left home, spoken of as “ the late,’ or *‘deceased,”’ and sce others of them writing from New Zealand ; while I perceive the names of many merchants and professional men that are entirely strange to me. In observing | these changes in your society, my mind is na-) turally led to the contemplation of the strange vicissitudes of fortune through which I have passed myself since [left home, which have compressed mto a few brief years more than | When | my memory dwells on the scenes of terror and | the ordinary experience of a lifetime. sublimity, of death and desulation, in which 1| actively participated, or the physical torments and mental anguish that I endured, Tam at) times Ied almost to doubt my own identtiy. | When T now stand before my vlass and see my | countenance bearing the hue of robust health, | | be speedily subiitted tu the Exceutive Council, shove.
