‘POCKRT vs. PATRIOTIOM—
THE SPECIAL SESSION
We notice in the ‘Islander’ of Friday « letter
from the Mon. T. Heati Haviland te His Excel-
lency the Lieut. Governor, in which the former
resigns his seat in the Executive Connell, boraves
he says he cannot, “whilst holding the office of
Agent for the estates of Sir Grahuin Montgomery,
consistently sipport the contemplated Jegislative
action of bis Execileticy’s responsible advigens,”
in asking the Queen te compel the Proprietors to
shew be““re 2 judicial tribunalthe illegality of the
Award. ‘his #8 certainly a more candid-deciara-
tion than we had reason t expect frons any mem
ber of the Government, arf it shews that mere
personal interest has @ stronger ¢laim on Mr.
Haviland’s attention than the welfare of his coan-
try. We don’t feel inclined to quarrel with bim
for this; for, after all, most men prefer their
pocket to their patriotism. But it seems te aa
that Mr. Havifatd' might urge, with greater force
aud propriety, that it weal b> absurd to think of
getting the Award put in operation when two
out of the three parties who origifated it ars
decidedly opposet to it-are determined’ that it’
shall not take effect, and those two ate the Bri-
tiash Government and the Proprietors who ¢on-
sented to the Commnissson. Mr. Haviland practi-
cally declares that he would be as great a patriot
as Col. Gray dr any other Councillor if his private
income would not be affected by it. We rathor
admire the eandour which suggesth the declarations,
and we feel assured that Col. Gray would button
up his breeches pocket with as much zeal' aia?
man living, if patriotism were likely to make apy
inconvenient advanees towards it. The retire-
ment of Mr. Haviland is, besides, a practical ad-
mission on his part that a man cannot faithfully
serve the country and serve the absentee proprie-
tors at the same time. Now, we should like te
know in what better position are the following
gentlemen placed—Messrs. F.. Palmer, James Yea,
and James C. Pope? They are all land propri:-
tors and land agente. It may be said that they
are not so much under the controul of the absentee:
proprietors ae Mr. Haviland is, and can, thereforey.
afford to be more independent in their polities..
This is al! fudge. They have the same prejudices-
—the same high notions of proprietary rights—the-
same abborrenée of a fearless and independent:
spirit onthe part of the tenautry as ever influcnced,
the conduct of any absentee proprictor. Is any
of them, weuld, at 2 pecuniary loss, make more
generous concessions te the tenantry than could bey
obtained from Sir Samuel Cunard or Sir Grabun
Montgomery? Does any one believe that the Hon.
James Yeo bas 4 softer and a hinder heart than Sir
George Seymonr; or that Mr. Pope would be more
generous in his dealings with the tenants on Lot 19
than Mr. Tod himself? Those preprictors and

Mr. Eviror;
Sin, —I had strong donbts on my mind, when
Responsible Government was introduced into this
Colony, as to its working well for our social
interest; but certainly bad not an idea that such
base conduct would have been practised by any
guilty of; but trust the wellanerited castigation
you haye given them will be a final blew to ther
gross altempis at hypocritically cloaking their
contemptible acts with sectarian bigotry, thus
trying to crush the friendly intercourse that ever
tas prevailed in this Island between one Christian
vody and another; yes, and as you have truly
observed, never has a party more signally failed;
and it may be presumed that further religious, or |
rather irreligious, discussions will not be resorted
to for political purposes, but let secular affairs be
so conducted as will best promote the general in-
terests of theColony. Take a retrospective glance
at the sayings and doings of the Tory administra-
tion previous to the general election, and ask the
question, What have they done to warrant their
continuation in power? TI don’t know of one
single act that originated with them of the most
distant public advantage. No; nearly their whole
proceedings have been politically dishonest, de-
eeitful above all things, and indisputably wicked ;
yet they uonblushingly tell you that the salvation
of the country depends upon them; that should
the Liberals get into power, Popish aggression
would be our fate, and that the Land question
would never be settled; still holding out hopes
that should they be coutinued in power, the Land
Commissioners’ Award would be speedily con-
firmed, although they know well it is set aside for
ever, and that the only way the great and vital
question is ever likely to be settled would be that
proposed by the late Government, as every honest
winded man must allow; and had they been con-
tinued in power, it would have been settled long
ere this, for the solicited loan would have been
obtained, and enable them to have effectually eom-
pleted the object of the Purchase Bill, as it is pretty
generally understood that the proprietors would
readily sell under it, had that Goyernment an
Imperial guarantee for its payment; but not te
get the whole £100,000 at once, as the Hon. Col.
Gray would have us te believe, by his Jetter to a
Tenant on Let 51, in which he also stated that the
Government would have to pay off the £18,000
debentures, and the £6,000 to be due to the
vendors of the Worrell Estate in 1564, when be|
well kuew the Government dare vet, neither did
they, pay more than the amount offered by the
laie Government, so what cau you think when a

Protestant to vote for the Government: then all
will be right.” But, Mr. Editor, if the Govern-
ment had fulfilled the promises they made at the
last election, namely, to settle the Land Question,
lessen the public debt, make au improvement in
the appointment of officers, cte., ete., then they
might appeal to the Liberal Protestants te support
them for their goed management of the publie
affairs. But, Sir, instead of that, the Land ques-
tion is where it was, the public debt is doubled,
without any visible improvement, and all their
actions ave no doubt in aceordance, which in a
little time will be fully explained. Liberal Pro-
testants should be alive at the coming election,
aud vote for the party likely to do the most good
in political affairs, aud let the evil machinations of
the Southern-lands go to the winds, with all their
religious erys about the Pope, the “Man of Sin,”
and all other scheming that their unworthy heads
are able to put together.
A PROTESTANT.
King’s County, Oct. 21, 1862.
To THe Eptror or THe EXAMINER.
Sin, —In the ‘Monitor’ of the 13th inst. Mr.
Cooper notifies his correspondent friend at Dundas
that it is not his intention to publish a communi-
cation, which it appears he has written in anewer
to a letter that appeared in the ‘Examiner,’ over
my signature: and from the manner in which that
notice is written, allow me te draw the following
conclusions :-—
Ist. That the “Resident” and Mr. Cooper's
friend is completely beaten, although he did not
possess sufficient sagacity te show it.
2nd. That Mr. Cooper must be almost as great
a fool as his correspondent, or he would not have
taken offence at my remarks — thereby placing
himself amongst the ranks of those who cloak
themseives with religion for the purpose of placing
themselves in a position to impose upon an wusus-
pecting community.
ord. That we may arrrive ata very fair estimate
of J. B. Cooper's real worth, when he pleases to
denominate his correspondeut at Dundas a friend.
The only cenclusien we ean arrive at with respeet
to the same is, that “birds of a featber flock
together.”
4th. That the people of Charlottetown may say
that “ Queens and Princes cawe from the uttermost
parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon:
but behold, greater than Solomon is here!” He
being thau © Israel's” sage monarch, by repudiat-
ing one of his most important proverbs; but with
which I intend te coraply, by “ answering a fool
according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own
conceit,”
I did not expect, Mr. Editor, when I wrote my
| first communication to you, that I should haye

| therefore, ibe three Exeeative Couneillers whose
we have mentioned, can aBoerd te make a
splurge about their deep and earnest sympathy
for the tenantry. What a wonderfu) torrent of
cloquenec, to be sure, will be pouted into our
rapt senses in the Assembly from the chaste,
graceful, learned and elassie lips of Mr. Yeo, when
he descants upon the tyrasny of the Duke of
Newcastle in suppressing the Award? He, we
shall be teld, was abways a friend of the tenantry
—will sell his property toanerrow, if be gets his
price ior it — has forgiven many tevnante their
jarrears, and supplied them with seed grain aml
| provisions in searce seasons; bat he will semem-
‘rto forget waking this amouncement — that
jhe was not slow in taking mortgages on their
; farms for the advances thus made. “ The boner-
able and k urned gentleman ” will tell us, alse,
that he is quite ready to place his propesty under
the operation of the Award. Se hemay be. He
i@ Cunning enough te know that, in the first place,
it would not do him the least harm, either as
agent or proprietor; and in the second place, it
would do the tenantry no good. He may say,
likewise, that he is ready to accept the Award as
binding upon him as well as others; but this be
can safely do, a8 he knows that the Award is for-
ever dead.—The member for Bedeque will be an-
usually fierce and spasmodic in the utterance of
his scathing ancthemas upon the devoted head of
the Colonial Minister. How that proud lip of hs
will curl, and that fine expansive brow wrinkle
defiance at all proprietors in heaven or earth, or
in the waters under the earth. The wrongs of
the tenantry—the arrogance of the landlords, and
the tyranny of the Colonial Office, will, in short,
be discoursed upon by every member of the Go-
vernmeut who is able to make a speech of five
minutes duration. We fancy we see Col. Gray,
looking more like a madman than ever he did,
even when, last Session, he made that wild speeeh
about the wild men of the western prairies —
lashing himself into fury — reviling Ministerial
despatciies as uuworthy of consideration when
opposed to the “interests of the people,” and
when the honour of the Crown has been pledged
to carry into effect a certain measure. But we
will not anticipate further the style and spirit of
the debate which will be the chief characteristic
of the Special Session in December. The Go-
verament waut a breeze te blow their frail and
rotten bark away from the breakers that are
abead of them. Messrs. Palmer, Gray & Co.
will put their whistling qualities to the severest
test to stir up any kind of a respectable puff in
tue political horizon. But it will be ne go. Mr.
David Jones is bound te get the unfortunate ship,
and to provide in his spacious locker a resting
place for her hapless crew.
Mr. Secretary Pope says, in Friday's * Islander,’
that we appear “to be very much depressed at
the prospect of a Session in December.” He was
| bever more mistaken, We are in ecstacies at the
“ prospect.” We look forward to that Session
with as much eagerness asa schoolboy waits for
a holiday. We shall regard the second of De-
| cember as a sort of gala day —as the beginning
jef an exhibition at which there will be any
amount of fun; and the money required for get-
ting it up is net to be drawn from our poekets in
quarter dollars, the same as we would pay for a
concert, but from the publie Treasury by a gene-
ral taxation on the whele population of the
country,
The greatest “ institution” of this age is Hum-
bug—nothing is so much admired — nothing pays
so well. It is a thing that has no local habitation
or & name, — it is cosmopolitan in its relation to
| the world—it is protean in its outward forms—it
is seen ia every phase of daily life—in our court-
chips, marriages, dress, social intercourse, and in
eur amusements; but nowhere is it mere eonspi-
cuous than in religion aud polities. Barnum has
made and thrown away several fortunes, for which
he was indebted to Humbug. Every body liked
the way in which he dressed up his idol, andevery
| body know ingly and cheerfully paid his money to be

tion than we had reason t expect frons any mem

personal interest has @ stronger ¢laim on Mr.
Haviland’s attention than the welfare of his coan-

for this; for, after all, most men prefer their

that Mr. Havifatd' might urge, with greater force

inconvenient advanees towards it. The retire-
ment of Mr. Haviland is, besides, a practical ad-
mission on his part that a man cannot faithfully
serve the country and serve the absentee proprie-
tors at the same time. Now, we should like te
know in what better position are the following
gentlemen placed—Messrs. F.. Palmer, James Yea,
and James C. Pope? They are all land propri:-
tors and land agente. It may be said that they
are not so much under the controul of the absentee:
proprietors ae Mr. Haviland is, and can, thereforey.
afford to be more independent in their polities..
This is al! fudge. They have the same prejudices-
—the same high notions of proprietary rights—the-
same abborrenée of a fearless and independent:
spirit onthe part of the tenautry as ever influcnced,
the conduct of any absentee proprictor. Is any
of them, weuld, at 2 pecuniary loss, make more
generous concessions te the tenantry than could bey
obtained from Sir Samuel Cunard or Sir Grabun
Montgomery? Does any one believe that the Hon.
James Yeo bas 4 softer and a hinder heart than Sir
George Seymonr; or that Mr. Pope would be more
generous in his dealings with the tenants on Lot 19

Mr. Eviror;
Sin, —I had strong donbts on my mind, when
Responsible Government was introduced into this
Colony, as to its working well for our social
interest; but certainly bad not an idea that such
base conduct would have been practised by any
guilty of; but trust the wellanerited castigation
you haye given them will be a final blew to ther
gross altempis at hypocritically cloaking their
contemptible acts with sectarian bigotry, thus
trying to crush the friendly intercourse that ever
tas prevailed in this Island between one Christian
vody and another; yes, and as you have truly
observed, never has a party more signally failed;
and it may be presumed that further religious, or |
rather irreligious, discussions will not be resorted
to for political purposes, but let secular affairs be
so conducted as will best promote the general in-
terests of theColony. Take a retrospective glance
at the sayings and doings of the Tory administra-
tion previous to the general election, and ask the
question, What have they done to warrant their
continuation in power? TI don’t know of one
single act that originated with them of the most
distant public advantage. No; nearly their whole
proceedings have been politically dishonest, de-
eeitful above all things, and indisputably wicked ;
yet they uonblushingly tell you that the salvation
of the country depends upon them; that should
the Liberals get into power, Popish aggression
would be our fate, and that the Land question
would never be settled; still holding out hopes
that should they be coutinued in power, the Land
Commissioners’ Award would be speedily con-
firmed, although they know well it is set aside for
ever, and that the only way the great and vital
question is ever likely to be settled would be that
proposed by the late Government, as every honest
winded man must allow; and had they been con-
tinued in power, it would have been settled long
ere this, for the solicited loan would have been
obtained, and enable them to have effectually eom-
pleted the object of the Purchase Bill, as it is pretty
generally understood that the proprietors would
readily sell under it, had that Goyernment an
Imperial guarantee for its payment; but not te
get the whole £100,000 at once, as the Hon. Col.
Gray would have us te believe, by his Jetter to a
Tenant on Let 51, in which he also stated that the
Government would have to pay off the £18,000
debentures, and the £6,000 to be due to the
vendors of the Worrell Estate in 1564, when be|
well kuew the Government dare vet, neither did
they, pay more than the amount offered by the
laie Government, so what cau you think when a

Protestant to vote for the Government: then all
will be right.” But, Mr. Editor, if the Govern-
ment had fulfilled the promises they made at the
last election, namely, to settle the Land Question,
lessen the public debt, make au improvement in
the appointment of officers, cte., ete., then they
might appeal to the Liberal Protestants te support
them for their goed management of the publie
affairs. But, Sir, instead of that, the Land ques-
tion is where it was, the public debt is doubled,
without any visible improvement, and all their
actions ave no doubt in aceordance, which in a
little time will be fully explained. Liberal Pro-
testants should be alive at the coming election,
aud vote for the party likely to do the most good
in political affairs, aud let the evil machinations of
the Southern-lands go to the winds, with all their
religious erys about the Pope, the “Man of Sin,”
and all other scheming that their unworthy heads
are able to put together.
A PROTESTANT.
King’s County, Oct. 21, 1862.
To THe Eptror or THe EXAMINER.
Sin, —In the ‘Monitor’ of the 13th inst. Mr.
Cooper notifies his correspondent friend at Dundas
that it is not his intention to publish a communi-
cation, which it appears he has written in anewer
to a letter that appeared in the ‘Examiner,’ over
my signature: and from the manner in which that
notice is written, allow me te draw the following
conclusions :-—
Ist. That the “Resident” and Mr. Cooper's
friend is completely beaten, although he did not
possess sufficient sagacity te show it.
2nd. That Mr. Cooper must be almost as great
a fool as his correspondent, or he would not have
taken offence at my remarks — thereby placing
himself amongst the ranks of those who cloak
themseives with religion for the purpose of placing
themselves in a position to impose upon an wusus-
pecting community.
ord. That we may arrrive ata very fair estimate
of J. B. Cooper's real worth, when he pleases to
denominate his correspondeut at Dundas a friend.
The only cenclusien we ean arrive at with respeet
to the same is, that “birds of a featber flock
together.”
4th. That the people of Charlottetown may say

cloquenec, to be sure, will be pouted into our
rapt senses in the Assembly from the chaste,
graceful, learned and elassie lips of Mr. Yeo, when
he descants upon the tyrasny of the Duke of
Newcastle in suppressing the Award? He, we

i@ Cunning enough te know that, in the first place,
it would not do him the least harm, either as
agent or proprietor; and in the second place, it
would do the tenantry no good. He may say,
likewise, that he is ready to accept the Award as
binding upon him as well as others; but this be
can safely do, a8 he knows that the Award is for-
ever dead.—The member for Bedeque will be an-
usually fierce and spasmodic in the utterance of
his scathing ancthemas upon the devoted head of
the Colonial Minister. How that proud lip of hs
will curl, and that fine expansive brow wrinkle
defiance at all proprietors in heaven or earth, or
in the waters under the earth. The wrongs of
the tenantry—the arrogance of the landlords, and
the tyranny of the Colonial Office, will, in short,
be discoursed upon by every member of the Go-
vernmeut who is able to make a speech of five
minutes duration. We fancy we see Col. Gray,
looking more like a madman than ever he did,
even when, last Session, he made that wild speeeh
about the wild men of the western prairies —
lashing himself into fury — reviling Ministerial
despatciies as uuworthy of consideration when
opposed to the “interests of the people,” and
when the honour of the Crown has been pledged
to carry into effect a certain measure. But we
will not anticipate further the style and spirit of
the debate which will be the chief characteristic
of the Special Session in December. The Go-
verament waut a breeze te blow their frail and
rotten bark away from the breakers that are
abead of them. Messrs. Palmer, Gray & Co.
will put their whistling qualities to the severest
test to stir up any kind of a respectable puff in
tue political horizon. But it will be ne go. Mr.
David Jones is bound te get the unfortunate ship,
and to provide in his spacious locker a resting
place for her hapless crew.
Mr. Secretary Pope says, in Friday's * Islander,’
that we appear “to be very much depressed at
the prospect of a Session in December.” He was
| bever more mistaken, We are in ecstacies at the
“ prospect.” We look forward to that Session
with as much eagerness asa schoolboy waits for
a holiday. We shall regard the second of De-
| cember as a sort of gala day —as the beginning
jef an exhibition at which there will be any
amount of fun; and the money required for get-
ting it up is net to be drawn from our poekets in
quarter dollars, the same as we would pay for a
concert, but from the publie Treasury by a gene-

The greatest “ institution” of this age is Hum-

so well. It is a thing that has no local habitation
or & name, — it is cosmopolitan in its relation to

is seen ia every phase of daily life—in our court-
chips, marriages, dress, social intercourse, and in
eur amusements; but nowhere is it mere eonspi-
cuous than in religion aud polities. Barnum has
made and thrown away several fortunes, for which
he was indebted to Humbug. Every body liked
the way in which he dressed up his idol, andevery
