They draw vivid pictures of the expense of Royalty to the nation, and many of the working people applaud them to the echo. That there are more repifblicans at present in Britain than ever there were before, there is no denying. The majority, however, are too much at. tached to monarehy to dispense with the institution.

Let three judges or examiners be appointed by you both, and let them give you something like the foilow- ing subjects on which to write dissertations in various languages :— Greek, tn the style of Demosthenes. Subject.—The necessity for Irresponsible Goyernment in P. E. Island in the present crisis, Latin, in lhe style of Cicero. Subject.—The disposal of Fraser’s tender for the Railroad. Ttal.an, in the style of Machiavelli. Subject.—Hon. Mr, Howlan and others | breaking their soleran pledges on the Catho- lic Education Question. French, in the style of Voltaire or Charles 12. Subject.—The Franco Prussian war; the generosity of the P. E. Island Legislature in granting £200 stg., for the relief of the sufferers, and the public virtue of Hon. Mr. Howlan and others,in outraging public senti- ment, by refusing to pay the said £200 stg. Trish, in the style of Ossian. Subject. — The glory of Selling one’s Country—or Confederation. English, in Disraeli’ s styles. Subject.—The beauties of a Serpentine Railroad ; the advantage of stumps on the track ; the propriety of sparing our young Trunk as long as possible. sume there will be no difficulty in the way.

Now, as we believe the present administration can give a satisfac- | tory answer to their opponents, when the day of battle comes, and as we know the present hybred Opposition is not a true ex ponent of the public sentiment, we cannot but commend the policy of the Government in refusing to surrender, It would be injudicious in the present party, and detrimental to its interest, to recommend a dissolution in the present crisis. The Opposition journals, regardless of truth and honor, have been busily em- ployed in circulating false reports to preju- dice the public against the Government. Many of the people have been deceived by | the persistency and plausibility with which these reports and misrepresentations have been forced on their attention. For the members of the Goyernment to recommend a dissolution, and defend themselves against their reckless calumniators, on an election- cering campaign, would be utter folly. Amid the excitement of a political canvass, there is any amount of opportunity for making long speeches, and for abuse, but no time for sober reflection. On such an oceasion, there is much display of temper and feeling; but there are no political con- verts made. The members of the Govern ment are wise in reserving a defence of their conduet until the House meets, when they can get a better hearing,and the people more House not convene until spring, the Nditor ments to change sides half a dozen times before the Government’s day of reckoning arrlves. 2 Ome THE PRINCE'S ILLNESS.
