“A RUM.SUBJECT.” Ma. Duncan Maclean, apparently glad to get any thing to serve him 9s an ¢xcuse for his defeat at the hustings in February last, has eeveral times since asserted that the Constituency of the First District of Queen's County eold their elective fran- chise for liquor. 'We have never deemed it necessary to make a reply to this infa- mous slander, feeling assured the people of that District will remember it should ever Maclean again present himself pub. lickly to them, or even any of the shameless party who pay him thus to vilify people who are a thousand times more honest, independent and respectable than he is himself. In the Islander of the

in terme that were dictated, it ie plain to perceive, by a heart overflowing with, malice andenvy. Speaking of Mr, Coles, he saye:—

“ George's influence is founded not upon abilities but. upon tym.; Rem procured his eat:ance into the Assembly, and rum, almighty

rum, has placed him at the head of the majority. whom, like drunken mon, he has danced intoa

i diteh”’

Now we know for certain that it was the boast of or petty aristocracy, that they were mainly instrumental! in procur

ing Mr. Coles’s first “entrance into the Assembly;” but having discovered that Mr. C. was not a man after their own hearts—that he would aot bea willing slave to serve them in-their designs upon the people's liberties, they exerted their ‘nfluence and strength, when an opportu- nity occurred, to remove him from the Assen bly, and. to put into his place a simple and subservient tool in the person of Mr. James M‘Callum. And by what means did they seek to obtain the votes of the constituency for their protege on that occasion ? Why, by the most lavish expenditure of money in purchasing casks of rum and beer—barrels of biscuit and cakes of cheese, to be distributed ngst such thirsty and hungry electors as happened to be in debt to, and afraid of, tory shopkeepers from Charlottetown, who had gone to the polling ground armed with those mighty instruments o

terror—bvills, bonds, and book-debts; even bundles of hay were given as good equiv- alents for vates to the poor settlers on Lo, 67, whose cattle were then suffering from the want of fodder. But all this bribery. was of no avail: Mr. Coles triumphed over the corrupt influence of Charlotte- town, Again, when Davy Simpson, was inflated with the idea of getting into the House of Assembly in preference to Mr. Coles, did not the friends and prompters of that worthy attempt to drench the electors with rum? But the “ bribery” was again unsuceasfy!. Mr. Coles will not, we presume, deny having had a little whiskey on that occasion for the use

intoxicating drinks.

Tt may be a sin in Mr, Coles to drink whiskey, or to give it to hia friends; but there are those ebout New London: who will say, that it wae no merit in Mr. Maclean to induce a parcel of fools to come from their homes on a broiling

interest in his fate, when judgment was expected to be prorzonnced upon him for; libel, (Duncan imagined he was to be im. mortalized with the crown of martyrdom, and wished hiv friends from, New Lon- don to participate in the glory of the aa. crifice), but when he saw that the Go-

depriving him of his popularity, and thas,

ridiculous farce, he sneaked out of town upon Shank’s mare, without bidding good bye to his followers, leaving the poor devils tosuck their paws for refreshment, or to go in debt for their dinners. About 14 miles from town, in Mr. Murphy’s “ best room,” our hero was discovered by some of his worn-out pedestrian ad- mirers of the Millvale settlement, endea- vouring to sooth his bruised spirit, and to drown his disappointment ‘in a bow] ;” and when the poor fellows, who had braved hunger and thirst for “ his hon- our’s sake,” turned to bid him “the time a’ the day,” he dainned them fora set of ill-bred scoundrels for daring to enter the presence of such a gentleman as he. Does our “ Rum Subject” remember his stingy dodge on that memerable day ?

A DISCOVERY.

Te editor of the dsiander has made the astounding discovery that the penalty section in the Revenue Bil! “is not one whit less stupid than all the rest of the Assembly’s proceedings.” {tis amusing how successful Mr. Maclean usually is in bringing himself and his party anto disgrace. If Donkey dear” will turn to the Laws for 1849, page 503, he wil! find ihe “stupid” section he complains of, just as it was brought into the House by, we believe, Mr.. Thornton, and voted for by, D. Maclean and ai] the rest of his party. The tories boasted of having a majority then, and could do what they liked; why did they thus tie up. the hands of the Treasurer if they did not distrust him? Why were Duncan’s eloquent lips silent on the “ stupidity” and “unconstitutionality” of the “ pro- ceeding?” Answer me that, Master Brooks.

As a specimen of the style of compo- sition which usually ornaments. the Islander and Express, we may point to the wretched atternpt at witticiem headed “To Gem Warbleton,” which made its appearance on Ssturday in the Eroress. Whea Duncen advertuzed himself some
