Whore btibory and deception foiled. treachery come to the rescue. Bitch lo the history of Confederation. In l’rltico hidwntd Island every art was tried to betray. coax or bully no late Confederation; but. thank God. those have so far failed. The elections have been slaved ulf beyond the usual time. to the ardent hope that some fol‘ittltotto clicumstanno might arise which would drive the island into Confederation. and render another election altogether unnecessary. This. too. has failed. and now that an election is inevitable. (no thenke to our Confederate plotters.) the Islander makes a desperate etfort at the twullllt hour to persuade the country that it cannot do better then entrust its inter wt- for nnothor four yearn to the safe keeping of our Con- tcduratu Government. or. at the very lcttoi. that it ought to tit-elect our chief Cohfcdct'uto plotters.

Neither can they boost much for their doubtful improvement upon the Free Education Act. nor take credit to themselves for intro‘ due-lug the Land Purchase bill. if. indeed. there in any merit in having been forced by tho tennnt troubles to use the good anti ,ut' the Liberals. in buying up Proprietary Estates. of course they are entitled to it. if tin-re is on y statostuauohtp in having squandered the public revenue in ttseloos delegations. and in building barrecks. etc.. thbtl'tliey possess it; and it the nttetup. to sell the country bobs virtue. then they are p-irugttnn. lint thutlrluader appears to think that all the money spent in securing the hollow and dcittalt'u l-‘ittoou Yuan-o‘ Purchase Bill: in bringing troops to suppress the tenants; in building barracks and canteens. and stables; in supplying drunk and infuriated constables with horsesnud wagons. whiskey. crackers and cheese. and paying them well tor their trouble in harassing defenceleos women ottd children ;‘ in sending delegates to Quebec to sell the.cenntry. and to lirasll for. no purpose at all. are trltllng matters tint worthy the con- sideration of tbo’ tax-pawn of this colony. We. however. have mode a calculation. which we shell publish next week. wherein it will be shown that the suns which the Editor of the Islander alone pocketed. within the past seven years. would have allowed an nddltlpnnl £14 to the salary of our ill-paid teachers for one year. and that. the money which lute boon unne- eesearlly treated in the manner above indicated. would have loosened ougpttbllo debt by onoohnlf. For the. last seven Your! the editor of the rum himself had

£4500; and tho proprietor of that paper considerably over that amount". it is therefore no wonder that the organ and its editor thoultl be prepared to approve at all the cxtrnvngnttce and rasonlity perpntrtttetl by the Government. and to endeavor to make light of them; but we very much mistake the tan-payers of the country. who have to loot all the Bills and to pay the piper on all occasions. if they will approve of the manner in which the Government have fulfilled and
