We must know the names and addresses of our correspondents as a guaranty of their good faith, We cannot undertake to [return comiunigations that are not used, SWINDLING, Crvimizatron has brought in its train particular and concomitant evils. It found man in a savage state, living in leaves and dens, unasquainted with the higher delights of society, and writhing under the cruelest tyrannies ; it has put him in possession ot arts and sciences : has built*him towering palaces and cities, fund has evolved from him humane and enlightened forms of Government. But it has in its very midst social and moral) sorés for which it affords no remedy— | for such a panacea we must look to the benign influence of Christianty. Despite all its pomp and polish it nurtures in its bosom hideous crimes and horrid vices. True, they may be to civilization as warts or wens to the body, still they | draw their nourishment from it, and could not exist without it. Man in a state of civilization doos not indulge in the physical crucltics peculiar to barbarism, but has recourse to subtle and more refined jnodes of inflicting pain, yet none the less aggravated,—being “the iron hand in the silken glove.” tivilization has interdicted bodily tor- ture, but indirectly supplics weapons with which to pierce and wound the spirit, Nor yet has man whentnder its influ- ence recourse to open and lawless spoil- ation as in days of yore, still we have the most systematic fleecing and swind- ling practiced upon the honest and in- dustrious. The man who has labored patiently in the paths of honest industry to acquire enough of this world’s goods to support his family and keep him from want in his declining years, is often beggared by having all he possessed suddenly wrenched from his hands by the intrigues of some graccless knave. Byery large town in the civilized world not only swarms with individual specu- lators in fraud, but has its clubs and societies that study and follow cheating az a fine art, and whose members fatten on the acquisitions of their vicious and criminal calling. They prosceute their trade in the most indefatigible and per- severing manner. Every day we have revelations of new and move artistic modes of operation. With the eye ofa connoisseur they single out their victims, and their modes of attack are planned and carried into execution, with a fore- sight and gencralship worthy of a better cause. In order to elude suspicion they manceuvre long and plausibly with the wary man of money; petiently attending to all the details of politeness,and mani- festing the strictest punctuality in the minutest business transactions, until a suitable moment arrives to make a dip. Again they make bold and merciless raids upon the purses of the credulous and unsophisticated. ‘There is not a nook nor cranny of the world where there is anything to be obtained by fraud, but what is smarting under the machinations of these pests of socicty. ‘They brave all dangers, act every conceivable char- acter, and assume all the contortions of the sibyl, in order to effect their pur- poses. Notwithstanding our much yaunted honesty and simplicity, we have to de- plore that we have of late. somewhat too frequently produced from among our- selves no mean amateurs in the art of swindling. Men who engage in mercan- tile and commercial transactions, finding that the just profits of trade neither realized their brilliant dreams of wealth nor keep pace with their irrepressible strivings for gain, pocket ail the money they can get a hold of cither by foul or fair means, flee their country, and leave |their creditors and dupes to comfort i themsclyes over empty coffers. Nor do our isolation and pecuniary unimportance protect us from foreigners of this stamp. No sooner are the barricrs of ice removed from our harbors, and the first steamer arrives, than we are infested with these bronzed money-catchers. They some- times operate in particular localities ; at other times they travel over tho whole country, each playing his own fayorite way of extorting money from the unsus- |pecting; and all of them speculating jimmensely on our credulity and love of the marvellous. Some will insinuate themselves into the good graces of the public under the pretence of developing some latent resources of trade in our be instantly translated from poverty to affluence. Another will sound in our ears the praises of a universal medicine, which was obtained by the incantations jof some magic art, and in the many | thonsand cases in which it was tried, | having failed only often enough to prove its unrivalled virtue, But it is beyond our ability to point out the innumerable means and agenci¢s they make use_of to become possessed of the almighty dollar. ‘Through their importunity we too often subscribe for these things ; and when we get them, we generally find the book to lbea trumped up affair, with gaudy covers to entrap the curious; the lottery a sham and an imposition, and the medicine a picce of unmitigated quackery. All such mon merit the outspoken denunciation of every honest member of socicty ; for when we encournge them we ure lending the support to vagabondism which is justly due to our men of busi- ness; encouraging scoundrels who are too lazy to work as other men, and have toy little principle to be honest. Let us in future nei her be gulled by their syren speech nor spurious and dazzling promises. THE MEBLING OF THE LEGISLATURE, Ture meeting of the Legislature ought not to be looked forward to as the time for sending in petitions praying for ap- propriations of money for Roads, Bridzes, reply to one recently published in the sume paper, alleged to have been written by a ‘Son of Temperance,” who com- plained of not being able to finda Tem- perance Tfotel in Charlottetown, The letter is too lengthy for us to insert it, but we yery cheerfully endorse its sentiments, und give our humble testimony to the mannerin which the ** ROCKLIN HOUSE" is conducted.
