Mr. Prowse asked the Government to} lay before the House a certain petition from inhabitants of Murray Harbor North. praying fora post office at or near Jol Chipman’s together with any correspon: dence with the Postmaster Gener, 1 on that snbject, Hon, Leader of the Government replied that tho Government was not disposed to present every petition asked for; but in regard to that alluded to by the hon. mem- ber (Mr, Prowse) the subject was referred to the Postmaster General, who did not re- commend the prayer of said Petition. Mr, Prowse said his object in making the enquiry was, that the inhabitants ol the adjacent settlement who had signed the petition in question, had been led to believe, since doing so, that the peiition they had so signed asked for the removal ot their post oflice, and not the establish- ing of another offe+ at Chipman's. He, therefore, felt it his duty to state that the prayer ot said petition was solely furanew rest Office. Hon, Leader of the Government snid that tie remarks of the hon. member (Mr. Prowse) were perlectly correct. The pe- t tion in question asked for a new office at Chipman’s, but it had not been considered ailvisable to increase the number of post oltices, Ifon. Mr. Davies moved that the order ‘in reference to the petition of inhabitants of Lot 35 and others, and also that of Thos. Mowbray and others, in reference to the Small Debt Courts, be discharged, and that said petitionebe referredto the Committee nppointed on thew26th ult: to report there- on, and that the names of Hon, Mr, Kelly and Mr, Arsenanlt be added to tha siid committee, Motion carried, Mr. Brecken gave notice thatto morrow he would ask for memorial of City Council relative to a House of Industry, Ifon.

I will merely present to your readers afew facts which may place Congress in a better light. When Lee’s army surrendered, the South- erners admitted that they were Whipped; that they had tried to rule with the aidof the sword, and had failed; and they were conse: quently willing to accept almost any terms of reconciliation. But Lincoln's death happened about that time, and Johnson became President, The breach between him and Congress widened; he took Southerners into his cabinet and his eouncils; and, before he was President six months, the South was as haughty and de- manding as when Brooks cudgelled Lumner in the senate chamber of the United States, The North was justly indignant with Presi- dent Jolinson for bringing about this state of things. He had accepted the second place on their ticket, and was elected as a staunch Re- publican, ‘Their sons had spilt their blood like water on the Southern battle-flelds; they r the silly. threat thrown out about kicking, I May state that I am hot t fighting character; in fact I um a an of peace, and entirely disapprove of bullying or rowdyism of any sort, but the Progress editor seems anxious to mi adisplay of his kicking propensities, 1 have not the slight objection to gratily him in’ this particular; and perhaps the j result may be slightly different trom What jit Wits 0 few days since when he eallod an offencing boy into his office and adininis- tered justice with his Shillalah, atter the Auda Teatt ‘approved of in the land i) Intec erty i y days of hynull Werty in the days of Judge The Progress editor, knowing that a fur- ther exposition of his Annexation senti- ments would draw dowh upon hin the in- dignation of the loyal eople of this Island wisely for himself” ana the reputation of his contemptible sheet, retrains from an- swering my lotter ina straightforward and manly way, but in lieu thereof introduces certain extracts from the Halitax Chronicle Which are as far trom the point at issue as night is from day.
