     The Islander was a Conservative newspaper throughout its 
     
     publishing history. During the 18403 it was the adversary 
     
     of the Palladium, opposing escheat and Responsible Govern— 
     
     ment and acting as the defender of the Tories and the Family 
     
     Compact. During the 18505, when the Islander began its life- 
     
     long feud with the Liberal Examiner, the paper often discussed 
     
     temperance, education and Liberal corruption. The Land Com- 
     
     mission Award was supported in the early 18605, with Con- 
     
     federation and the construction of the railroad being the 
     
     Islander's main causes during its final years of publication. 
     
     Local and international news, advertisements, anecdotes, and 
     
     agricultural articles were all published in the Islander. The 
     
    
   
   
    
     newspaper ceased publication in 1873.
