We think i¢ by no means unlikely that the Com: | say that they are such as to the practicable

of Prince Edward Island would be well ais-
posed to aecede. Certain Iam, however, that
to the sentiment, so fully expressive of the ties |
and sympathies of national cousan zuinity and
brotherhood, to which he has so impressively
given utterance, and which should ever meet
with mutual recognition by British and Ameri
can people in all their dealings and intercours |
with each other, whether individually or nation-|
ally, there is not one here present who does
not, in his own bosom, most warmely respond. |
Indeed, I believe I do not exceed the truth in
saying, that it is the sincere desire of our whole
people that the feelings of amity and concord
which are now, and have solong been, happily,
mutually entertained by them and the people!
of the United States towards each other, may |
not only never be disturbed, but, as under new |
and closer relations, their commercial and so-
cial intercourse with each other shall grow and
increase, thove feelings may grow and increase |
also. Well pleased and satisfied, however, as
we are with all that bas fallen from the lips of |
General Butler, we may, I think, be  very|
well excused the desire which, I believe, we all!
feel, to be honored with a similar expression |
of their sentiments, on this important occasion,
by other members of the mission ; and, not!
doubting that that desire will be fully gratified,

such a requirement, will recommend that the
list of exemptions be restricted to those articles
which were free under the old Reciprocity
Treaty. Admitting, then, that the terms upon
sach as we, eonsisteatly with our duty to the
Mother Country can accept, then there remains
but the matter of the fisheries to be arranged, in
order to re-establish Free Trade between this
island and the Uuited States. The editor of
the Islander writes of the Convention of 1818,
as if Great Britain set such store by the
wivileges which that compact accorded her, that
would not abate one iota of her rights for
consideration whatever. What are the facts?

"e see that in 1854, she, for the good of her
North American Colonies, cheerfully, without
receiving for herself the least direct advantage,

she

any

yvave the Americans the privilege of fis‘ing

limit. She now, for

within the three-mile
peace suke ,we suppose, allows the fishermen
of the United States free range of the valuable
fisheries of British North America, forno other
consideration than the payment of @ small
license fee, which fge is paid, net into the
Imperial, but into the Colonial treasuries.
These facts shew us that Great Britain values
her national rights to the fisheries of British
, only in so far as they are of im por-
tance to her subjects in that part of the world,
and that she holds them merely gs their trustee,

yrauting them to others or withholding them,

Jvoce Potann rose, and, in responding
thereto, said :—Mr. P-esident and Gentleman :

nacknowled sing the verygratilying compliment |
which has been just paid to the Congressional
Committee, and, in which compliment, I have,
by name, been especially coupled, I must take
leave to observe that, for the honor of having
heen appowted a member of that Committee,
I am not indebted, like other members of it—
especially like my honorable friend, General
Butler--to any peculiar political estimation in|
which I am held by my compatriots in Con-|
gress, or to any remarkable or leading influ-
ence accorded to me in the councils of my |
country, I am, in fuet, the least of that Com
mittee ; and my having been appointed to it. I
attribute solely to the fact that, in making up|
our Congressional Commiitees, regard is had |
to the representation of dierent parties and
interests. {I have, for some years, held a seat
Congress, to which I had the honor to be re-
turned as a representative for Vermont, by the |
votes of a very large majority of its electors ;
and as it is an interior state, and has little to}
do directly with the fisheries or commerce,
therefore it is that I call myself the least im-
portant member of this Consress Reciprocity
Mission to Prince Edward Island. {n ac-
knowledging the compliment which has just
been paid to us by our hosts, it would be in
yain for me to attempt to emulate the eloquence
of my hon, friend, General Butler—an
quence which he has jocularly pronounced to
have been almost exhaustive of his wind— !
wind which, however, I may observe, does not
ioften fail to render kim effective service in
make every exertion to procure so great a) Congress. I shall, nevertheless, as in grateful

that Americans should haye the privilege of

privilege, and that no class uf Her Msjesty’s
favor to the citizens of the United States—~is
it not exceedingly probable that the reasonable

and that our Government would be empowered
to reduce the fishing lieense fee to a mere
nominal sum, no treaty would be required.
We are free to confess that such an arranje-
ment would, for many reasons, be far less
satisfactery than one based upon a treaty,
but are at the same time convineed, that it
would be of inealculable advantaze to this it hg
Island. We are, too, quite sanguine as to its
feasibility, and we think that our Governmen. |

There are many movements among the

has faith in his fessions. Accoruing to the

Alexaud and the King of Prussia had no
political object; but there are other repre:
gentations that the latter directed the attention
of the Czar tu the danger of demoeraey,
which favored the plans of agitators and
demagogues,” apd of course offended the

a member of the Mission to Prince Edward
Island, I was, [ must confess, wholly ignorant
of its real character, [I had, indeed, something
like a vague notion of its geographical poet-
tion. But J had no idea of the salubrity
af its elimate, the beauty of its scenery, the
fertility of its svil, and the rich abune
dance of its agricultural products. And, still
less, had I any idea that I should find it oc
cupied and cultivated by so intelligent, indus-
trious, hign-minded, liberty-lovinz, and coura-
geous a body of yeomen, as those, the ev’.
dence of whose might and worth, is to be seen
on every hand, in the cleared forest, the cu'-
tivated fields, and well-appointed,
comfortable, and, often, ele sant homesteads,
which adorn the land. And aeither in it—a
small Island, as yet alinost unnoted, and of no
historical account—did I expect to meet with
men—pardon my avowal of the fact,—and
neither ju it, I say, did I expect to meet with
men of so high and intellectual a character,
as we have found those to be, with whom the
prosecutien of the object of our mission has
brought us into immediate intercourse—men
whose cultivated and comprehensive minds,
whose intimate acquaintance with the histori-
cal records of the progress of nations, whose
correct discernment of what either most direct-
ly militates against, or what most surely eon-
duces to, the advancement of the true interests
of a people, have well qualified for the efficient
performance of every duty appertaining to
their publie position-emen whose wise and
liberal—yet high-spirited determination, as
evinced in the policy observed by them, in
dealing with questions as difficult, and, in some
respects, as delicate, as they are vitally im-
portant to the welfare of the Island, has shewn
how exactly they comprehend, and how faith-
fully they endeavor to acquit themselves of the
weighty avd important responsibility which
rests upon them, as the chogen rulers and law-
givers of the people. The investigations,
which, in my judicial capacity, it was Jong in-
cumbent upon me to make, have given me a
relish for enquiries touching whatever affects
the Jegal relations of the different orders and
members of society ; and such a desire having
led me, since [ arrived in the Island, to ask
for information concerning your Jand-tenures,
Ihave been very much gratified to find, that,
acting upon the most enlightened prineiples of
social economy—principles, upon the obser-
vance of which depends the real prosperity, the
persevering, contented, and happy industry of
an agricultural population, you have at length
sucee eded to a great extent in emancipating
the people from the galling and repressive
thraidom of Jandiordjsm. Happy am I to find
that, with you, as with us, it is held to be in
perfect consonance with the laws of justice and
the natural harmony of thisss, that every man
should be the real lord and owner of the soil
which he cultivates~that his farm should be
his dominion, his kingdom. I am, indeed,
much gratified to find that—small as are the
dimensions of your Island, and scanty as is
your population, when comparatively viewed —
you are, with rapid strides, making adyances
in civilization, in the diffusion of knowledge by
an excellent educational system, and in the ex-
tension and establishment of freedom, of which
larger and more populous countries mizht well
be proud. In you, I rejoice to find, in all the
activity of action, the same spirit of improve-
ment for which we of the United Siates flatter
ourselves we have long been distinguished.
You and we are, indecd, of diferent nationali-
ties; but we are, at the same time, members
of the same family, and alike distinguished by
all the characteristic features of our common
ancestors. Qur forms of Government, it must
be admitted, are not in all respects alike; but
still the truth is, that they differ more in name
than in orjzin, svirit or operation. The Go-
vernment of this Island is now, in fact, an in-
dependent one; and, as with us, rests solely
upon the will of the people. In conceding to

spacions,

wh

you all the rights and privileges of Responsible |

Government, Great Britain freed you altozeth
er from her Imperial control as respects the
orderinz of your own immediate affairs and al!
legislation effecting merely your own local in-
terests. In doing so, she reserved to herself
over you only the the protective power ap-
pertaining to her as your Parent State, and the
right to restrain you from the forming of any
foreign relations which might,in any way, prove
inimical or injurious to her Imperial interests
—but surely no farther. That the renewal of
Reciprocal Free Trade relations between this
Island and the United States, the otjecé of our
mission, would be higkly advautageous to both

fore it surely hehoves us both to use our best
endeavors to bring it about. How Reciprocal
Free Trade with the United States, although
not extended to any other province of British
North America than Prince Edward Island,
could, by any possibility, prove detrimental to
the Imperial interests of Great Britain, Lam
wholly at a logs to conceive; and, therefore, |
