GINTLIIIN ; There is a sub‘ ct which of late has been repeatedly broug t before you, and in which, no doubt,, you all feel more or less interested- I refer to the Election for the First District of Queen's County. Having seen the willful per- version, or inisconstructicn, attempted to he put on the Law by the Royal Gazette and Ad- vertiser newspapers, and more recently. in the same strain of misrepp-eseiitation, in ii letter over the signature of 'm. Cooper, written, no doubt. to order from Head Quarters, I have n induced to publish the two clauses of the Act which alone relate to the demanding and holding of a_ Scrutiny, feelin assured that the plain reading of the Act wi be uite enough to satisfy every honest mind that demanded the Scrutiny at the only time pointed out by the law for doing so. ' The 40th clause of the Act reads thus :—- “ And be it enacted, That the Poll Clerks employed at the several polling places, after the close of the Poll and after the Presiding Oflicsr shall have taken the Oath in the last preceding Section required, shall re- spectively enclose and and their several Poll Books, and shall publicly deliver them so enclosed and scaled to the Presiding Oflicer at such Poll, who shallgivs ii receipt for the same, and shall forthwith return the thsssais an enclosed and scaled, with his warrant or Pram-pt, to ths Bbrtltrf the County, who shall ro- osive and keep all such Poll Ioshs uuopsosd -tll the rasaaeubliiig of the Uourt at ihaoaaoiy Court House in such County, and which, in Qsssn's County, shall be the Old Court House.

Mooney and Mctsill. Row. say some who most heartily wish I had insde a bliiniler, you should have demanded I Scrutiny before the hour expired. In reply,I would say that _if any one will find in the ct- which contains upwards of80 clauses--any place where it directs ilis Scrutiny to be asked for after the Slit-rill‘ had declared the stats of the poll, and before llw liour expires. and he pr s to make his final declaration, I will bind myself to pay him £100 for his discovery ; but if he reads the first part of the 42nd clause, he will find these words: -‘ either when no such investigation shall be deiiiaiidr-d, or after such investigation, any Candi- date or his agentshall publicly and openly demand a Scrutiny the Slierifl'shall,” &c., &c. Now, I would ask, how is a person to know that “ no such investigation has been demanded,” unless the hour has passed away during‘ which it should have been salted for? and still the law provides that n Scrutiny may he demanded whether the investigation he been salted for or not. I pre- auine if I had demanded the Scruiinv at any other time than I did. lahould have heard (with some truth then) 0, your demand was out of order, it is not legal, it cannot be complied with. I, how- ever, ioolr the precaution to get the best legal advice to be had in the colony, two days before the Sheri]? made his proclamation. so that I should by no possibility make a blunder in the time I demanded the -‘crutin . knowing aal did with whom I had to deal. he result, so far, prcvcs how necessary it was for me to act with great caution. Such a contradictory jumble as that uhlichcd over the signature of Wm. Coo , do not remember reading. For the benefit of those who have not seen it, I beg to quote sssmple : " The 45nd clause of the Act providar. that a Candidate or his Agent may demand and obtain a Scrutiny at the final declaring the Election, or without an investigation, but as there was no investigation; the first declaring the Election was dual, and to grant a Scrutiny after the hour allowed by law had expired was contrary to the Act." Now, as the hour must have expired before any one could say, " than was no investigation had," and so Mr. C.t:pcr sdiiiuy that any Candidate may do- mand obtain a Bossstiay. sllhou it there was an investigation, what in nsss to y the grant- isg it was contrary to the Act. ’ hs truth is,- as Mr. Cooper well knows. the Sheriff would have had no right to grant a Scru- tiny until he saw but whether an investigation mispolled votes was demanded within the hour or not. Thai int determined, the time cornea for demanding the Scrutiny, and demanded it was, at the exact time the law prescribes. I would ask. if the case were submitted to twelve Jurymsn to decide on their oaths, whether I had forgone my claim to a Scrutiny by allowiaLtbe proper time to pass during which I ought to ve demod- ed it, could they say yes without pcrjuring thorn- selves? [believe every sane. honest man iIi.tltc country would say they could not so decide with- out being guilty of perjury. ll . r’s attempts to mistify and one end the public will not avail. Hc,osrtainly succeeded, some years since. in misleading some hundreds of poor have ever since bitterly re advice.—But to proceed: the utiny was de- manded by me. Mr. Coles put in a written demand for s Scrutiny of my votss also. Sheriff ad curried his Court.. So far, well; but the next ay, Mr. Colss—fsarful, I suppose, that the Scrutinywosld go against hiin—scnds a note to the Shuritfsiailng that he did " not intend to take any_ notice of the scrutiny dcmandcd I) Mr. Bear." I however, persisted in my dcman , and attended the Court. he Sherifl’ was sworn in by s Magistrate-—thc Sbsrifs Clark was also sworn. My Elector 'was aworn—l gave a Bond for the payment of sxpsnscs-—thc names of the‘ votes I objected to were called ovsr—thcrs bot- ing no one to rave them good, judgment wont. default, and have been returned duly cl . Now, had Mr. Colcs been a man of honour. and above attempting to take a mean advantage, he would have adopted either one or other of two honest courses that remained opened to him: he would have gone to the Scrutiny maofully, and not ob'eeied to a thorough investigation of his legal claims to a seat in the House of Assembly —-otherwise he should have resigned all claim to his seat in the House at once, and with it rcslgh- ed his in the Executive Council. His conduct then would have been that of a gentleman, and his op onsnts would have aeknowlsd ad be h acted onorablc in the matter; in of which, he refuses to do either, but measly holds on. an- deavouring, by raises and throats, to bribe or intimidate a raqyorlty of the now use him into a seat in the House, in spite of- w, justice or tnsii .

That a publication of great historical- iinportancs, as coming from one of the chief actors in the inception and working out of a syctcin which has already changed and will tend to el'ect still greater changes, in e rela- tions between the motlisr noun and the co- lonies-iwill have its proper place allotted to it in the ' 've Library, we have no doubt; but the misfortune is, that we are not likely to see it, until its day has, in a measure, gone by, and the contents have been antici ted by reviews, newspapers, and other ephemeral pro- dnctions. In the review in question. we are that- “ Lord Grey talras each colon in succession ; he shows the state in which e and his col- leagues found it, and the state in which the left it ; the dis utes and enibarrassments whicli thzy inlreritc from their predecessors; the m e in which they dealt with these, and the extent to which they were able to mitigate or to dispose of them ; the various knotty questions which were forced on their attention, and the principles which they applied to their solution ; the irrihting and menacing discussions which were almost daily arising with one or other of our colonies, and the min led llrniness and conciliation by which these ad to be met with and alla .’ Although the writer in the Norfli British Review does not condescend to notice Earl Grey's account of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotis or New Brunswick, as bei unim rtant to the neral readers of that publication, it would ve been to its the most interesting part of the work ; and in the present state of iter-ature in this colony, it will hardly answer a booksell to in: t works for which there must neces- a var limited dsniand,if any; and con- seqiissitly,li or no profit. Itis for thisresson that we suggest the propriety of the Book Coni- mittesbeing able to order a work of this descrip- tion,to be sent out by mail; and at the same time we venture to adv t a more liberal system should be pursued with respect to the use of tho Books, so as td give the public, whose pro- , . . .

We find no fault with either side for using lhir and lo i- tiinate means, whether privately or public y, in endeavouring to strengthen their party. Both are supposed, at all events both profess, to have the public good and the advancement of the public welfare the chief, the only, and and aim of their labours; any overstepping of constitutional boundaries, any attenip to re- niove constitutional landmarks ought therefore» to be looked u n with a jealous and vi‘gIlan eye byboth parties.
