His opinion is well expressed in the following sentences ;-"It is needless to e.nter into a tortuous and slippery con- troversy with Sir John Macdonald as to the existence of anything strictly define- ble as an agreement between the Gov- ernment and Sir Hugh Allan for the sale of the Pacific contract. When a Minis- ter takes money from a competitor for a pulyai contract, and thereby places it morally out of his power to sward the eontract to any other person, he to all intenta and purposes sells it ; the form of a bargain may be wanting, but the act of corruption and injury to the giublio are complete." o With regard to the "ncw wanted" documeot of Sir George Cartier, he says it ie "so fatally conclu- sive that it may be said almost to super- sede the rest of the eeidence, and to constitate in iteelf a suffieient cause for a change of Government." Referring to the cornoption of Sir John and his party he says ;-"Ilinisterialists boast that the Government, ia the face of all these disclosures has. secured a majority to resist further inquiry sea to maintain the mieiaters in power and. krep the Pacific: Contract 'in the present hands. Any- thing rimy happen in a country where party feelings run ir ) high, and which has !teen so -long suffering under a sys- tem of corruption. It has been appalling to hearths language hehl even by men of honor under the influence of party passions. But if the people are pre- pared to sanction such things, wo may as well at once spare the money which we spen1 ineereachers, release our edu- cators from the uselen duty of teachine morality and learn to expect among those we employ, or with whom we deal, no higher integrity than thet which the Nation delights to honour in the person of its thief."

This McCanse refused to do, reopen Richard son 'trucks t him with a stick and tried to get in the wagon to pull him Out. McCanse resisted, and, with a pitchfork, scratched Richardsiin on tne shoulder, Richardson then picked up a stone and theew it at him, hitting him on the head just behind the ear and knocking him seneeless. He then got in the wagon end beat him with a stick, and then made his escape. McCanse was conveyed home in the waeon, and at- tended to hy Dr. McDonald, but he is yet in a very precarious condttion. A warrant has.been issued tor the arrest of Richardahn, but as yet bis whereabouts has not been discovered. It is to be hop- ed he will soon be caneht and brought to justice, as such a murderous assault ought not tea go unpuniahed.

The show was good in every particular, hot especially in the display of female beauty, which was altogether unprecedented, within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant.

Ile said he felt a reluctence in coining be- fore them as a canitielete, but he had been nominated by large snit unani- mous convention as the standard bearer of the lteforus petty. Ile asked the electors fo endorse the action of that convention, rind *felt satisfied they would and that he would, be returned by a large niajority.. One of the prin- cipal reasous why lie hail ace.epted the notnination was because he thought the farming- interest sheuln have a larger representation than it at preaent has in the leeislature. Ile did not presume to say that he was the only farruer in the South Iti.ling qualified to represent this interest,. There were dozens more fitted for the position than be, but he' had been selected, and he now appealeil to his brother farmers fur support. He was cnarged with beir.g an office seeker. Had he been sueh he could bave had °face from the Tory party long ego. Mr. Carling had offered that if he would oppose Mr. Gibbons at last elec tion he should have the support of the, Conservative,. but he declined to do so as be woold thereby violate his princi- ples.

The jury act, the 'school act and the drainage act all required some change. He admitted the defect in tho clause of the 'municipal act refer- red to by Mr. Benson. It was a small matter to find fault with and could be easily remedied. Ife would advocate an act for re-unittn,g the Ridings for regis- tratiun purposes.

He defended hia course on the temperance question and plodded himself to carry out his promises. Me deelared his confidence in the eresent overement and would give them hie personal and political point of view. He defended the position he and the Re- form party had taken on the teinporan question. Hon. Mr, McKeller said he appearvid before thorn as the hero of many "out- rages." The Mad claimed that it had treed him, but he had got down out nf the tree, and before this contest was, over he would slime the Mail and its supporters that he was as lively and mischievous as ever.

He had come to discuss with them the questioas of the day. Some one in the crowd had called out "Proton."

Atter a few introductory words he says: - A century of ioolation hes made as s peculier and, not to put too fias a point on it, a conceited peuple. And wit, should we not think well of onrselres Our oountry is as pretty a little spot as is to•be found in all creation. We have by our industry redeemed it from the wilderness and made it en agricultural community. Our men do not spend a dreary existence in darkness and deat• ger, wrestling from Mother Earth her wri'..neral treasures ; our young P•opt• bre net penned np nienafacturtee, trying to lin and work and to enjoy life on a short allowance of fresh air and invigorating sunlight, nor are many of the sturdy islanders wearing their lives out in buying, selling, and specula- ting -nuking themselves old before their time in trying to amass a hig for- tune in a few. years. No, we don't make beam to be rich cm this Island. In fact, now I think of it. eery few indeed of us ever devil rich. The great masa of our people are not employed in monet-mak- mg occupations. By dint of continu- ous, but not ethaustive labor, our farmersgenerally make a ooniforteble liv- ing. The earth is W them a judicious sad liberal, and not a foolishly indulgent mother. To eultiyate the soil 1 of the island auocessfully, the farmer must be skillful and industrious. The land hors is of that nature that it generously re- wards tine and good treatntent, but it 'speedily and severely resents neglect and 111 -usage. We have no inexhaustible tracta of alluvial deposit on the Island. The soil is a sandy loam, rich enough when first redeemed from the forest; but rime:run careful tillage to keep it "in good heart." Our farmers, therefore, having to use their brains al well as their hands, are, as a class, intelligent ; and in disposing of the proinoe of their farme, they do not permit even the keenest of our traders to gain any ad- vantage over them. They are a sturdy. independent class of men, understand their rights and are ready to assert them. They number somewhere about twelve thousand, occupying in all 1,088,240 acres of land, 45,103 acres of which is set down re the census as "arable land." our twelve thousand tamer", great and small, in 1871, raised off leas than heir a million -of acres of land, 3,128,576 bushels of oats, 3,375,726 bushels of potatoes, 369,392 bushels of wheat,176,- 441 bushels of barley, 395,318 bushels of turnips, 68,349 tona of hay, besides various other articles of farm produce too numerous to mention. In 1873 they owned among otber thinas 25,329 ho 42,984 head of cattle, 147,364 sheep, a 52,514 pigs,. They owned too at that titre 1,024 mowing machines, 1 607 threshing insehines and 1,402 "mud-dit gime" Your readers will naturally inqufire what these "mud diggers.' are. They .rnachines which some ingenious island has invented for raining the mud, or rather the oyster shells from the botto re .4 the nnmerons creeka and bogs which indent the island. These oyster shells and the need in which they are embedded, make excellent ntanuro. The island, it would seem, has been a fsvor• tte hebitation for the oyster from the remotest ages. Generations upon gen- erations of them have lived, have ful- filled the chief end of bivalve ezistence, and hare died in our bays and at tidal "rivers." Their decomposed remains are proving a rich mine to the agricul- tural popeiation of the island. In mid- winter, when there is not much to do on the farms, aed when the bays are firmly frozen over,. the farrnera whose land border ths water, as well as some of those who dwell at a censiderable dis- tance inland, go with their horses and sleighs, axes, saws, and mud diggers to the bay, and there with Brohdidnagian handles, ingeniously worked by • cap- stan, the ulnae° power of which is a liorse, they help themselyes liberally to an oyster shell stew which has been 000king forages and ages in one of na- ture's biggest caldrons. Some of then deposit*, which aingularly enough nue people here call 'mussel -mud,' are fifteen or sixteen feet deep. The mud which is thus dug up is either piled on the shore or hauled directly to the fields, where it is deposited on the mow in small heaps. It is not many years since the island farmers realized the value of these beds of mineral aod organic man- ure which lay at the bottom of the creeks and estuaries near their doom. Before they knew of the fertilising properties of this raussenmudO many of the shore farms were in an eximedingly impover- ished oondition from over -cropping - "run -out," as our farmen very signifi eantly term that melancholy condition of the soil. SiDCO it pas boon generally applied, the crop on these farms has in- creased at least two hundred per rent. The yield of hay has, I am quite sure Seen quadrupled by the application to the wornout land of carbonate of lime ir. the shape of oyster -shells. Your readers will now see tint our island mud -digger is neither a biped nor a gitadrtiped. bet one of the beat agricul- tural machines that was ever invented. Having written so much about the oountry, your correspondent haa not much to say about the island towns. The old saying that •`God made the country, but men made the town," *ran adaptation of perhaps the more emphatic but slightly irreverent proverb which angry people wernetimee apply to cooks, holds good with respect to the compere - five merita of town and country on the island.
