On Saturday last, Premier McKenzie re- ceived a threatening letter, informing him he had but two days to live, as he would be eit. This, no doubt, is the work of some niscievous fool, or an _ electioneering dod se, by the way of exciting sympathies for Mr. McKenzie.

It; was a mere visionary seheme which no sensi- ble man would entertain for a moment (at this the mustachios of the poetic Frechette curled in indignation and his eye “‘in a fine frenzy rolling,” dealt out darts of death at Mr. Pope). It was all right and natural. Mr. Frechette is accustomed to giare at Mr. Pope.
( Correspondence of the Patriot. )
Mr. J. C. Pope replied to Mr. Frechette. but he had not uttered a dozen words before he was called to order. It setms almost im- possible for Mr. Pope to «xpress himself on | ‘any subject without transgressing the rules of | forder. His coarse and offensive manner of ispeaking of what is said by those who differ | with him in opinion will not be tolerated in| | tae House of Commons. He stigmatized Mr. | | rechette’s speech as nonsense, and went on to | speak of the difficulties of the winter naviga | tion of the St. Lawrence and the small practi- | je 1 benefit which the winter navigation of that | ir ver couid confer upon the Dominion. He | l ridiculed the idea of the Northern Lisht being | |a success, and «lenouneed her as an ‘cx pensive | | plaything.” He said that the good she has| | done so far has been literally nothing. Mr. Davies tripped Mr. Pope up very neatly | | when he reminded the House that he was him- |
self one of the first persons to propose to keep | }up communication Letween the Isiand and the | | Mainland by means of a Winter Steamboat. | | When he negotiated the terms of @onfedera- | ition between the Island and the Dominion, he |
