Phe We ivect rebuke whieh the Duke gives Mr tere tor the unbecoming language which “he had "sot acrupled to employ” to a Charch which is an | obje et of reverence to alay re number of his fellow | colonists” is eXtremely severe, and will undoubt- | edly have the desire) effect on him aa well aa on | his Excelleney and the rest of “the Legistature "| whese confidence he presumed to retain.

Jt would appwar trom the language of bis! tirace that a representation has been made te him | regarding my language: and many are jnelined | to believe that his Excellency, finding bimself not a little compromised by bis implied defence of Mr. | Pope, sad painfully feeling that the Colonial Se-| eretary's case was his own, Wrote @ lengthy Des-| pateh to the Colonial Office, representing me as an | enthusiastic, young, siolant “ Romish*.

Phe answer of hig Grace is much more satisfac- tory than I thqught it would be. lexpected that the Duke would merely acknowledge the receipt ai my letter, but I never imagined that he would, m a public Jwepateh, give his Excellency and the rest of “ the Legicinbere” “whose confidence” Mr. Pope “ presumed to retain,” so seyere a repri- nand for permitting the Col. Secretary te outrage the feelings” of Catholies in the language which be “ has vot serupled te employ.”

I have every reasen, then, to be well pleased with the aneeesy of my correspondence with his tirace, the effect pf whose Despatch will, without doubt, be moxt apparent in hiv Execellency’s re- straining Mr. Hope within the boards of commen deeeney and moderation.

Desides the Respateh whica has been published it is beliewed by many that hia Excellency has re- evived a private Despatch, reminding him of the wuauifest hupropriety of allowing the Col, Secre- tary to continue hig offeusiye writings. We may, therefore, expeet that although the Colonial Se- eretary may write editorials and anonymous comumnications for the ‘ Maniter’ and ‘ Protestant’ on the “abominations of Popery,” the “ Man of Sin,” &e; althuegh this Government theologian may assiat big friend, Mr. David Laird, in making

To rug Epitog or tne Examiner.

Sia ,--The Government of P. E. Island have come out with @ lest effurt, in the form of a cireular from the * Monitor” offee. Of all the attempts to throw dust in the people's eyes that { have ever witneased, this seems to be the greatest und most glaring. The article im question seems to be a stirring ap- peal to the people--an attempt to shew them something. But what does it show ua? Does it shew us anythiag which they have done which gives them a claim upon our suffrage ?

Fours pears ago the Tory party promised | the people several reforms. Does the circu-| lar call owr attention te the fulfdment of ang | of them, er tothe benefits aceruiog there- | from? Does the writer of that Paper at-! tempt to draw our attention to any act which | has been passed that is productive ef any good, or likely to be? Jn short, doce the writer attempt to show forth the claims of his party on their owe merits? Does he try to preve for one moment that the Tories have aight <e expect or demand the support of | those whom he is appealing to for any ope thing which they have doue for the good of -_ people? Gh no, they lay claim to no- t peng.

Their intelerant and perecouting spirit shows itself very pleivly in the “" Monitor saan’s’’ circular; for he, followimg ia the meps of the purely evangel calCol Secretary, endeavours to raise such a fog of retigiaus humbug belore the people's eyes as ta reuder it impossible for them to see through it at the great beaps of nothing which they have done.

“7. core”

“ Charlottetown, 24th September, 1862.”

A more barefaced, impudent denial than this we have never seen, When it came under our notice we lost no time in bringing proof to support our allegation, The following correspondence is the result of our determination to cover Pope and the Government with shame and confusion in their ecoquetry about St. Dunstan’s College, with the view of purchasing Catholic votes. The Colonial Secretary may quibble and lie as much as be can, but the plain brief letter of his Lordship the Bishop of Charlottetown and the clear cir- cumstantial statement of the Rev. A. McDonald eannot be gainsaid. If the Coloma! Secretary wants to pursue this matter further, we shall give hum the testimony of other gentlemen. But we warn him te beware. We have more than once shown that he is a man who has not clean banda. We think that in this instance his hands will be | found to be extremely dirty, and the contamina- | tion cannot fail to extend to the Government, who, according to the testimony of the Hon. Edward | Palmer, President of the Exeentive Council, as delivered in the Supreme Court last Spring, are | disgraced by continuing Mr. W. H. Pope in the! public service.

“Mr. Peter aco son of Archibald Young, Esg., after elosing their shop, went to sali om the river, taking with him Miss Susan Young and their younger brothers, Bruce, William and John. When about io the middle of the river, the boat unfortu- nately came inte collision with @ vessel, then being towed up the stream. {he boat atruck with some farce, owing tothe stiff breeze blewing at the time, and immediately sunk.

The search for the bodies was continued all night, but up-to the time of going to press none of them were found. This dreadful misfurtane -to one of our oldest and best. known families has thrown a deep gloom over the town; and what renders it still more painful is the absence of of Mr. and Mrs. Young, who 4re present in England, little thinking of the fearful shadow that has fallen on their happy bousehold.

heen taken, in order ta remove the prejudice that existed in the minds af many well disposed but misinforraed Protestants.

I am inclined to believe that it was the desire and intention of the leading members of the Governmeut to endow St, Dygstan’s College, but finding that many of their sypporters would tke umbrage at their doing so, they had the weakness to sacrifice their own conseience and the rights of Catholics to political expediency.

During a conversation which I hada few weeks ago in a public plage, with an influentia! member of the Government, I alluded to the duplicity practised with regard to the College, &¢., by the Col. Secretary dud other gentlemen connected with the Government, and I was assured by this Executive Councillor that at least Mr. Pope, Mr. Palmer, and His Excelleney, were really sincere in the promises which they made to the Bishop, and that they were exceedingly desirous that Catholics would receive a public: grant for their College. If called upon 1 am prepared to give the name of this gentleman.

Whether Mr. Pope and the other gentlemen who toek an active part in the “coquetry"’ of 1861 were sincere or not, they have placed them- selves on the horns of a very disagreeable dilemma. If they were sincerely anxious that St. Dunstan's College should receive a grant from the public funds, how can they now with any honesty or} consistency attempt to injure their epponents by representing them as inclined to do the same act? If, on the other hand, they were not sincere, but playing the part of ennning deceivere, they are poor men, to be pitied by friends and foes, as pre- xenting a lamentable example of political deception and depraved humanity.

Should the gentlemen of the Government desire that I should give any further information on this subject, I shall be most happy to satisfy them in thia respect.

MR. HAYTHORNE AND THE CO LONIAL SECRETARY.

Tue following letter from Mr. Haythorne, a isnd proprietor, appeared in the last ‘ Islander,’ and is well worthy of reproduction in these co- lumns, Jt js important in so far as it proves the | truth ot our statement, made a short time ago, te | the effeet that the Government had strangely or corraptly omitted te notice, in their Minute of Council, Mr. Haythorne’s remonatrance against oue of the Bills relating to the Land Commission- er's Award. In his reply to our remarks on that point, Mr. Secretary Pope insinuated that the Council were not aware of Mr. Haythorne having sent home a remonstrance agajpst the Bill referred | to; but Mr. Haythorne distinctly states that at) least one member of the Council knew all about | it, and that he was at liberty to communicate the fact to his colleagues, whieh was n0 doubt done. Mr. Haythorue’s letter is also worthy of notice | from the fact, that it exonerates Mr. Coles and | Mr. Whelan from any complicity with him in his} proceedings relative to the Land Commissioners’ Award, a8 impudently insinuated by the Editor of of the ‘Islander,’ and shews that Mr, Haythorne, instead of being opposed to the interests of the tenantry, proved himself their best friend, by voting at the Marshfield School House Meeting in faxour of the Laperial loan, as theonly practicable | means by which the leasehold tenure ia-this I+ | land can be converted into freehold. Every true | Liberal has entertained this view of the Laad | Question for many years.

The Colonial Seeretary devotes more than a coluinn and 8 half io the * Islander’ as a reply to Mr. Haythorne; but it is remarkable that in all the verbiage which covers that space not a single point is made—not an argument of 3tr.Maythore’s | refuted. As if to ebew that he was at a Joss for words to eke out a long editerist, the Colonial | Secretary has repeated the pame of “ Robert Poore Haythorne ” fifty-four times! when four

CHARLUTTETOWN, Sept. 26. REVEREND AND DEAR Sik; I beg to direct your attention to s short letter | in the ‘Islander’ of this date, signed “ W. H. | Pope,” in which the writer “ most emphatically | denies" that “during the sitting of the Legisla- ture in the Session of 156], Willism H. Pope, Colonial Secretary snd Clerk of the Executive | Couneil, informed certain Catholic clergymen that it was the wish and intention of the Government | to give a grant of the public money in aid of St. Dunstan's College.” I shall be obliged if you will | inform me whether, from your own knowledge, | Mr. Pope's denial can be borne out by the facts. I remain, Rev. and dear Sir, Yours very truly, EDWARD WHELAN.

St. Dunstan's College.

Sr. Dunstan's CoLLece, Sept. 29, 1861. DEAR Sir;

In reply to yours of the 26th instant, relative to, a short letter in the Islander of that date, signed “W. H. Pope,” I have to state that I am quite satisfied that the assertion in the Examiner of the 22nd inst. which Mr. Pope so “ emphatically denies "' is substantially correct.

Herewith I enclose a letter from Hia Lordship the Bishop of Charlottetown which will have the effect of placing Mr. Secretary Pope in rather | , an unenviable position.

Mr. Pope and his friends are endeavouring to make political capital out of the probability that | the majority of Liberal Protestants may be honestly enough disposed to do justice to Catholics with regard to St. Dunstan's College. Much has been written with this view by the Government press. I think that the time has arrived to expose the manifest duplicity with which Mr. Pope and the Government have acted in thia matter. They are striving to create a prejudice against their politi- eal oppovents on account of the suspicion that they are inclined to do that very thing which they themselves appeared anxious to do, and would, I believe, hare done, had they possessed more moral courage and more honest principle.
