     resignation of Mr 
     
     agreed to support Hon. J. Wightman and Mr. 
     
     Charles Clay at the approaching election; and, 
     
     as other parties have since entered the field te 
     
     the danger of the Liberal cause, this meeting 
     
     was, therefore, called to teat the minds of the 
     
     people on the subject, and discuss other political 
     
     matters of importance. Mr. Wightman first ad- 
     
     dreased the meeting in bis usually foreible and 
     
     eloquent style, commenced by saying the Guvern- 
     
     ment acted wrong in keeping the election back 
     
     until this inclement season of the year; that suen 
     
     delay was quite iu accordance with their other 
     
     arbitrary and unpopular preceedings. He then 
     
     alluded to Confederation—portrayed clearly and 
     
     forcibly the evils which it would entail on P. E 
     
     Island if we went mté the ‘proposed union with 
     
     Canada; said we will be well taxed if we 
     
     put ourselves in the power of the Cunadiue ; 
     
     and advised the people toe pledge their 
     
     representatives to vigurously oppose any terms 
     
     wf union that weuld inelude this Island. When 
     
     the Tory party got inte power they promised re- 
     
     treuchment in the public expenditure ; but, inatead

     well understood wish of the people. On this 
     
     jhead he instanced the appointwent of  office- 
     
     holders, in which the Jate Governwent violated 
     
     their pledges to the people. He said he enly

     that P. KE. Island is not included in the Scheme,

     although it does net further intimate the inten-
