Mr. Cobden, expressing I believe, his mind fully, as we are atliberty to do in private con- yersation, but which we dare not do often in public speecues, told me thathe had lost much of the interest which he had formerly felt in the Constitution of the American Union, 1 asked him why. and lis answer was, ‘1 thought among the other advantages of the great American Union that if any inclination to war should arise. if any disparity of inter- ests should spring up amongst the States, the Constitution was so framed that it could be tuken to pieces without a resort to war.” During the same meeting Mr, John Stuart Mill delivered an address, in the course of which, referring to the services rendered Free Trade by an eminent Anierican advocate of that system present, Mr. George Walker, Mr, Mill took occasion to express his opinion of the probable issue of the Free Trade agita- tion in the United States in these words j— “J do say itis not possiile that a nation that has, at an incredible xpenditure of blood and treasure, put into effect this grana princl- ple of economy by setiing free its sinves— Lrom Scottish Ameriean Journal, Aug. 7. 4 .

At my interview with the editors of the ** Presbyterian,” they told me that Richard Bell,of the Dock near Alberton, wis the * Laygnan” who wrote the letter. 1 immediately wrote to him to say that he was liable to prosecution on account of charges brought against me in his letter, but tor the present L wished to act according to the gol- den rale, and give him an opportunity of re- tracting his charges, and requested to Know from whom L had taken a book in the manner he stated. Months passed away, and | receiy- ed no answer, then published my letter. Now will the reader notice the evidence be- low, of a man of Sterting Integrity belonging to Cascunipec, “ Being in the company of Richard Bell,of Dock Kuadin Alberton, Lasked him if it was true that D, A. stole a book from him. te said it was not; and he never told any one he did, that the first he saw of it was in the ** Presbyterian.” Ile then gave nie the par- ticulars of the cas follows :—Mr, A. came to his house when he was from home, offering books for sale, he also offered to change some second hand books; his sister then changed one belonging to him, which he did not wish to part with, On coming home after Mr, A, had left the house, his sister told him what she had done, not being pleased, and as Mr. A. Was atthe next house, he went over to change it back, while crossing the road, he merely said to a person that he was going to get his book back. This he supposed was the origin of the story; that he did not blame Mr. vbliged that it was published. He also de- wrote the letter; and further that he had re- ceived a letter from D. A, aud did not snow what to do about ic.” (Signed) Jass Simpson. The reader will see from this that I an clear of any blume with respect to the book. also that Mr. Bell did not write the letter. No wonderthe real author was ashamed of it, and in this mean way Wied to chargedit to Mr Bell. He had forgot the old proverb ** Bet sure your sin will find you out.” ‘The rest of his charges are on a par with this, and ure too puerile to be worthy of notice. Inow wish to notice Mr. M.’s crushing remarks about certain medical works and all the dreaded evil consequences he expects to flow trom their sale, te asks © will Mr. A. furnish, for the public eye, alist of medical authors whose works he vends as standard?” feos, I will cheerfully do so. ‘They are as tollows; Guchan’s Domestic M.

Iam also agent for a long list of me- ind phrenological works, issued by those brated publishers, Fowler & Wells, of New York, and De, Mollick’s works. ‘Chis last author's works Mr. M.’s criticisms are aimed at.

For the information of those who are not ac- quainted with Dr. H.’s works, I give the testi- mony below, copied from the ** Medical & Surgical Review” {We have not space to insert the long ex- ract or puff of Hlollick’s: works, mentioned ick’s warke t toputan end, Whe constitution having) apoye.—Lp.

In closing this point L would advise’ Mr. M. o follow the example of that ‘eminent cler- ymin” mentioned above. I have but one more point to notice. At interview with the editors, they objeeted to publish my letter on account of lack of scholarship shown. J told them L did not think thut was the true reason why they did not publish it. We true reason, I rather thought, was that they were afraid to have the slunderer exposed. I do not profess to be a scholar, und was willing to bear the con- sequent reproach, if any, of having any letter, published just as it was. Mr. M. acknow- ledyes in the ‘Presbyterian’ of June 2nd, thot my letter was decked very fairly for the Jour- nal, Lean say that 2 prepared at without help; so that trom his own pen he has shown clearly that his objection to its appearance in the *Preshyteriun” was unfounded. Now will the reader turn to the ‘* Presbyterian” of June 2, and notice Mr, M.’s statement with respect to witnesses present at the interview? Ile suys ‘* Phe witnesses will give no positive proof.” Now turn to the Journal of June 17. Ife says that '* tie witnesses distinetly deny the truthfulness of Mr, A.’s statement on the point atissue.” Itis worth while to notice the difference between the two statements. A conscientious person may be morally cer- tain of the truth of & matter about which he could not give anything lice positive evidence. i adit that itis vero Nie to give «a positive evidence Concer SAE SARE on that fo. Kk place some time ago; but Lam very cer nt that neither of the gentlemen present will * distinctly deny the truthfulness of Mr. °A,’s statement on the point at issue.” Besides, any person of common sense would not be so unreasonable as to suppose that J expeyted the editors to correct ny manuscript. 1 want- ed them to publish it as it was sent to them, and had they done so there would have been no rooin for dispute between us. y In closing, I need hardly say to the reader, that on some account Lam very sorry: to. be forced into print on this subject. I bore meekly the misrepresentations and insults heaped vpon me in the pages of the * Pres- byterian” for-the space of twa years or niwere, and did not conde vend to fotice them till the apperrance of a letter from * Layman.” Even then f did not think it my duty to answer it, as I was confident that the public would im- mediately guess the motives of the writer, until some of my Presbyterian friends advised metodo so. And now, having shown how false are the charges of my accusers, and that it has been, and suill is, niy aim to condact my business so that it will be subservient to the glory of God and the highest good of my fel- jow men, it is not at present my intention to notice, hereatier the charges of the malicious, the envious, or the slanderous, but shall pray thutthey may have their minds filled with high and noble aims in lite. And now, Mr. Editor, feeling that T have trespussed loo much on your valuable spice, and hoping that there will be no necessity for me again to trouble you on this aigedp I remain yours, DIMOCK ARCHIBALD.

We cannot undertake to return communications that are not used. THE SITUATION, We live in an eventful period. The present time will hereafter be considered a most important crisis in the history of this Colony. We have hitherto enjoyed a-sort of semi-independent existence. We have been politically, as we are physical- ly, separated from oar fellow-subjects on the continent, ‘The bond of a common al- legiance tothe Mother Country has wholly failed to draw us into anything like a close und intimate relationship with the neighboring colonies, Our circumstan- ces bave been singular, Questions pecu- liar to ourselves have engrossed our at- tention, as a people, to the exclusion of nearly all others. We have always been in the habit of considering all public questions without reference to uny other community or communities, Our inter- course with the parent country has, ‘for a very long time, been direct and frequent. Our isolation, in short, has been as com- plete us it was possible to be. We are now asked suddenly to break the habits of generations. We are exhorted to emerge from our solitude, and become un active member of a family of eommuni- ties whose interests we have hitherto considered, in many essential particulars, to be not only different, but antagonistic to ourown. We have found that in the past our isolated condition has been no lrawback to us. When we compare our | condition as @ colony with that of those | who now form the Dominion, we haye no on to regret that, small, weak and insignificant as we have been, we have been allowed to manage our own affuirs in Our own way without interference, di- reet and indirect, from any of our neigh. bors. We see that we are more lightly taxed than they—that our public dett, compared with theirs, is ineonsiderable— that we, as a people, are as rich and as intelligent as any of the colonies we are called upon to join. It cannot, we be- lieve, be denied that the ninety or one hundred thousand inhabitants of this Is- land are, on the whole, as prosperous a community as is to be found in’ British America, Seeing, then, that by long habit we have come to consider ourselves widely separated from the continental colonies, and finding by what we con- sider unimpeachable evidence that our independent position guoad our neighbors gas been a benefit rather than an injury to us, it is no wonder that the people of this Island are exceedingly averse to change, and very suspicious of those who advocate it. As we before stated, (ue neople of thi 4 » ‘ae people of this ‘Inna are an intelligent and a thinking people—a people, we may add, keenly alive to their own interests. When it is shown them that it is their interest and their duty to confederate with the Do- minion, they will do so without delay. But they must be consulted in the matter. ‘Their free and willing consent must be obtained ere the Island Lecomes part of the Dominion of Canada. We are proud to find that none of our public men evince the slightest disposition, by a political juggle, to pitchfork the Island into the Confederacy without taking the trouble to find out whether the people desire the change or not. An unwilling and a dis- contented people tagged on to the Do- minion, would not be a very desirable acquisition. One Ireland in the world is quite sufficient, When terms are of- fered they will no doubt be freely discuss- ed in the press, on the platform, and by the fireside. If they are fair they will be embraced, if unfair they will be refused. Unionists and Isolationists must not shirk the fullest and freest discussion, They must gird themselves for the fight. Lofty contempt of argument on the one side, and pig-headed obstinacy on the other, will not advance the cause of citier party. ‘Those who accept the terms of Union must be prepared to show why they accept them, and those who refuse to join the Union must be ready to give good and sufficient reasons for their refu- sul. We hope, then, that none of our readers, whatever their opinions may be, will be $0 fools Us tO preyudge the quee= ‘tion, Every one of usin the discussion of this most important of all public ques- tions, should patiently hear and read all the arouments advanced, pro and con, and conscientiously SUrive vo eesive at an intelligent conclusion respecting it. Mor our own part, during the agitation we shall be most happy to open our colunas to those who have anything to say, worth saying, on both sides of the question. The only condition that we exact from our correspondents is that they write tolerably decent English, and that they scrupulously avoid personalities. No ar- ticle, however able, will be admitted into the columns of the JournaL, which con- tains an attack on the private character ofany person, whether his station be high or humble. .

Poor fence-riding Edward Rielly has been driven to desperation, For the last few months he has assumed all the eon- tortions of a gipsy fortune-teller, Not much wonder. While perched ‘on the fence, till his moral sensibilities have be- come like the Indian Fakir, he is contin- ually haunted with strange and fantastic visions of Confederation, the denuncia- tions of an outraged constituency, ‘the seals of office, and a fearfully accommo- dating conscience. Under such influen- ces he performs some of the most unac- countable freaks. We were sorry to learn that his friends were so indiscreet as to let him out on the day of the No- mination in Charlottetown; for while gesticulating ‘* violently with both arms and coat-tail,” and in the whirlwind of his sublime oratory, he was, either by an inadvertent step or the adroit movement of some heartless wag, suddenly precipi- tated from the platform upon which he was standing. ‘his accident appears to have had a powerful influence upon his nervous system ~ In his last tssue there is a whole leader against the editor of the Patriot, upon which all the energies of his giant mind must have been concen- trated. We look upon it as a master- picce in its way. Logie, wit and satire, do duty with fearful effect. Init we find none of that tawdry bombast nor strain- ing after the magniloquent whichis pe- culiar’to second-rate writers.
