Grackley Point; and cherish, as separated inlodadividual constituencies, the desire and determimation-to. obtain fur themselves, when the day of contest shall come, equally decisive and unsullied victories; so long, we hope, will they also remeuber—to detest and abhor it-—- the conduct of those who, with flagrant, disregard of decency, humanity, and honor, «most perseveringly laboured to perplex and annoy Mr. Coles ; even although they themseives were fully convinced that they might as well hope to see the sun and the moon stand still at their command, as that they should be able to prevent his triumphant election. Some of these embittered and determined foes of Mr. Coles, openly, it must be confess- ed, took the field against him like men; but the number of his comparatively honorable adversaries was but few. Gy far the greater part of his influential opponents, mole- like, chose to work in the dark; and, although actuated by the most bitter spirit of party, and too much influenced also, it is to be feared. by the rancorous feelings of in- veterate personal hostility ; and althoagh—unrestrained by the feelings of common humanity —dragging Mr.Coles, at this inclement season, from a bed of severe sickness, to the Hustings, at the risk of his life; yet did they not dare to appear at the Poll.

The polling closed at Brackley Point, about 3 o'clock, on Friday, when the Hon. George Coles was declared duly elected ; but that gentleman, through regard for his health—as he was barely in a convalescent state—- and in consequence of tlie inclemency of the weather, and the obstruction of the roads, which were almost im- passable, did not return to Charlottetown until about 3 o'clock, in the afternoon of Monday last, He was met at Mr. Dawson’s cottage, about a mile and a iualf from ‘own, by a party of tis Charlottetown ‘friends and ad- mirers, uccompanied bya band of music yby whom, and
