The position of the Govern- ment. even upon the very ere. as they are, of power. by a successful, although unprinciple . faction, is one of which they have every reason to proud. Not one charge has been, or can be, preferred against them to prove that, under their management, one pound of the people's none has either been inisapplied : or cannot besatis aetorily account- ed for. '1‘his is, indeed, a day of triumph, of exultation to us. rather than to them. The present prosperous state of the Colony is, in a great measure, I am prepared to maintain. owing to the introduction of the Rrsponsiblei hey who deny this proposition, are to the truth, by their own narrow- iniuded selfishness; men who e always opposed any extension of the rights and liber- ties of th pie, and who, out of a mistaken regard for t. eir own individual, or class, inte- rests, wouid—hed it been permitted them to do so -have ladly narrowed and lessened every p: ular right, even far below what it was ore the race ition of the protective princi- ple of responsibilit on the part of the govern- ment and ollice-hol ers: men, in fact. who know not that the natural fruits of extended freedom and increased rights to a people. are superior efforts and success in ever branch of industry, trade. and.ceuimerce.'—t e nellis of which are seen and hit by all classes. Contrast the e gentlemen who, since the themselves against the tyranny and encroach- ments of the Crown : and if, in securing, by the M. bu-ts, ‘ nliar rights and privileges, the stipulated for _au extension of those of their followers and retainers also, it was only that they might, by so doing, increase their own power to resist the Crown; and by no means proceeded from any d"!ll'0, on their rt, toloosen the chains by which t y of the common people were held in bou- ge. 'I‘he procuring of the Magna Charts was one step towards freedom. I admit; for the and tieir retainers from the tyi-anny'of the Crown, was not exhibited to the people in VI!!!» little as it was intended to benefit them; al- though it was not until after the lapse of centuries, that their perseverance for the attainment of popular freedom, and tire just extension of the ri hts and privileges of the people, without istinction of race, creed, or station. was crowned with any degree of substantial success. I sa a in than the people of England, Scotland. and Ireland, have much more reason to venersie ihe Emanci- pation and Reform Acts, ilian Magus Charis: and, l’If‘s'id9U'] feailesly maintain, that Responsible Government has bestowed upon the people of iliis Colony what they ought lo have had from Magus Charts. Until ihe establishment of that Sysiein, Magus Charla was bui asa dead lelier io iliem ; and if ihe ban. and learned member knew the real reason why a copy of Msgna Charis was placed abort the Speaker’: chair, he would know ilrsi it was placed iliere in shew that, until ihc es- iablishmeni of Responsible Government, ihe people of Prince Edward lslsiid had very little, if any, filled the cliiefollicefs in the Colony, with that of soiue of those who held the more important oficiul appointmeiits. under the old or Irres- cxam is of the Barons. in freeing themselves" £ sriiealsrly by the has.

The latter rt of the amendment is clear. plain, and inte ligible. It is what I ex ted. lion. meiubers in the majority woud not sleep soundly to-niglit, unless they should carry that rtion of the amendment. To me, however, t ie amendment does not appear complete. It fails to carry out onsible System ; and how great the difiereuce! few. every public ollicer discharges his dut to the fullest extent of his obligations.

We are noi the least in elsrrn as to what will be the result of the polling‘. notwithstanding the Meetings of the opposite party. But we are anxious that those who are interested in ihe welfare of the town, and of consequence, in that of the Island gene- riilly, should te-mcrrcw make such a demonstration of their strength as to show that ihe metropolis is not to lie at the mercy of a deinsgogire, who, ejected by those. who. having tried him, and on trial found Iiim wanting, ihiuks to raise himself by means of liberal Iibslions of whiskey, into being the “starter the people of Charlottetown, and Idling than know it." There are ihcse who have not forgotten Mr. Coles's conduct in the matter of the Engine House; the con. iempiuous disregard paid to the wishes of the Town Meeting. and his using his power to have an Act passed directly in the iseih of their resoluticne,—aii Act which more than any thing else sliewed ihe utter unfiineu of such men us George Ccles for holding the reins of Governinent,—-an Aei meant to frighten the town, and force them into a measure they disapproved of; hui which was set at nought and rendered ringe- lory by ihe spirited conduct of ihe 'l‘own Meeiiog,who refused to liix themselves to please ihe Dictator. We had thought that ibis repulse-—eo disgraceful to all w in were concerned in the fabrication of this infa- ! iiions law, would have operated as a warning, and , that Mr. Coles, at least, would have felt, that. of all l places in the island, rharloiielown was that in which E be hsd—or oiighi to have—lhe least influence,—ex. cepiing, indeed, iiinong ihe rciail sellers and drinkers of whisky.
