But ip applying this creed to practice, it is Necessary to ascertain, first of all, who is the! heir of dt. Lows?

Now that France has again swept sround the escle of political systems, and @ reaction in favor of the aucient regame teem to be im minent, the question gains im i: terest, ard naturally enough, in variety. A Mr. Auguste de Bourbon wiites long letter to the Loudon Spectator of Muy 27, asserti: g tuat he is the bourbon heir. He says:

«Well knowing the obstacles I have to combat agaiust, as being direct eckhnowledzed | the direct head of the elder branch of the} House of Bourbon however, be that as it| may-—let public opinion divest itcelf of skep- | ticism, and eubstitute reason, hovwor and jus-| tice tu ite decision us to the facts made public, | and coutained in the sutob ogra; hy and com-| mentary eutiled, * Historical Memoirs of, Louw XVIL.,’ published at Kidgway’, Piceu | dilly, London, in substantiation of the deliv-| erance of the sou of Louis XVI, and Marie) Antometic from the Tower of the Temple, | aad it will be found au introvertible reality | that such was accomplished, an<! that Louis XV. passed his lite wm England uoder the peeudyonym of * Meves.’

* At this present crisis it is important that! the French uation and the European powers | ebould be offici.lly made cognizant of the | indssputable ciumms I, the son of Louis XVIL., | hate, as repreeenting the bead of the legit, mat mouarchy ip France, when Le Comte de. Ubambord isucs a manilesio assuming the ebsiacter as the bead of the Freocu legitimate monarchy.”

dir. de Bourbon approves the zenera: tone of the manifesto in question, but thinks that it ought to be signed by a different name, and thatit “ Hem:y V." is made king, he must socn fall by bis own doctrine, that * whatso- ever precautions may be taken, » | hapbaza:d govermments pot founded on the priuciple of legitia-acy, after & few years of taacied safety, will hawe to succumb,”’

Theeiagm of this pretender may be of no great importance in itself, but the fact that eueh claims ere put forth and find believers may certuumly augyest reflections. The sea! with which they honor “the anointed king” must be equaiied by the horror with which they a en imposter, But «hat if there should be some tiaw in the pedigree of Henri

As regards the advantege you say 1 have over you by living in the dietrict, I uay tell you that you have glossed over the truth and circu lated more lies in that one letter of youre, than | could possibly do ina year.

WILLIAM Eloorer. Morell, May 27, 1871.

To THe Eptior or THe EXawiner.

Dear Sir;—I cannot agree with a long, well- written, and argumentative commun:ealion signed * Y,’’ whieb appeared in a late uuinber of the Argus. The wiiter instead of waking » * point ” ayainsl the “* Editors of the Provincia! Press’ for over rating the value of our Fisheries, evidently looses one himself onthe score of under saluation In provf of this 1 need only refer te the «ffer made by the American Commissioners to purchase the right to our inside Fisberies, iv common with ourselves. They of their own aec- cord offering $1,000 000. which offer was reject ed by the Bri.wn Commissioners This correspon- dent -eems also to run away with the idea, that cowparatively tew wackerel are caught inside vi the three mile limit. Now,if we take it for grant- ed that the habits of this Osh are t.e samme in dii- ferent places—on the eastern shores of the Une ted States and in the Bay St. Lawrence—we will find that as a general thing the most probable * eatches ” are made in Bays and indentations of the coast line. Asa general rule, in the early part of the season when the fish are poor and hardly pay the treuble and expense attendant on catching them, they resort to deeper water; but late im the season when they ate large and fat, and the weather cool they | e-p invei ably in shore. ‘T bis seems to be the case on the Awerican shore as well as iw the Bay St. Lawrence. Any one

vainted with our Bay fishing will admit, that in B-ptember and October the best fishing is on the north shore of the Island, Cape Breton and Magdalene, close inshore.

The writer in the Argus also asserts that only onesthird of the mackere! landed mm the United States are caught in this Bay, The reason, 1

believe that he will conduct the build- jing of the Railway honestly and faithfu'ly. | Mr. Laird, on the other hand, is of opinion |that every man connected with the govern- | ment, or interested in the carrying out of | the Rai way scheme is a rogue. He states that attempts have been made to bribe members of the Legislature, and that he himself was offered £300 to advocate the measure, This we do not believe. When he tells the public the names of the alleged bribes, his accusations may demand some attention. We heard the Leader of the go- vernmeut, in his place in the House of As- sembly, defy any member tos.y that any dishonorable proposition had been made to him, and none dared to accept the chal- i\lenge. As for the offer made to Mr. Laird, | we can only say that the person making it | was either a wag or a fool. Mr. Laird’s {services could have been secured for much less then 4300; but, fortunate!y for the suc. cess 0: the Railway measure, he opposed it. When be tells us the name of the person who made the proposition, wa will be in a position to understand the nature of the bribe, and the responsibility of the briber. Till then, we decline to put the slightest faith in the Patriot's assertion. Mr. Laird is evidently anxious to obtain a nomination for the Belfast constitaency. We admire his pluck. A man wko has been thrice de- feated deserves our cemmiseration, and his renewed exertions are certain to excite our sympathy. Unfortunste y for him, how- ever. his professions - nd promises are uni- versally disiegarded. His efforts to raise the cry of Presbyterian proscription have only excited derision and vontempt. The fact of his now opposing the only Presby terian member of the government is suffi cient to show his insincerity. ‘The people of Belfast have a right to a representation | in the cabinet, the district 1s large and in- fluential. If Mr. Duncan is defeated, the local improvements will be retarded for many years. Even Mr. Laird’s influence will effect but little. We observe, with gieat satisfaction, that tenders have been issued for the construction of important public works in Belfast. Thisis very pro- per. because districts through which the Railway will not pass areentitledto sub sidies corresponding to the taxes which they will be called on to pay. The com- plet on of the breakwater at Wood Islands will contribute much to the convenience of the farmers in that seetion. We wish to impress upon the minds of the people of Beliast one fact, namely, that the success of the Railway measure and the building of the work does not depend on Mr. Duncan’s election. Ifhe is defeated, another com- missioner will be appointed and the elect- ors of Belfast will have the pleasure of pay- ing their taxes without having any more voice in the administration of public affairs. Mr. Dunean has, at considerable personal sacrifice,taken great interest in the district. He has consulted his constituents on every important question which has come before the Lezislature, and has endeavored to act with the people. We do not suppose that be has any desire to make money out of politics, but we believe that though he wus an honest opponent of the Ratiway scheme, he will, now that the bil‘ is passed, use his eftorts to ensure the honest and faithful ac- complishment of the measure. A few months ago, Mr. Laird regarded him asa demigod , now he looks upon him as a dis- honest political cheat. Weare sure’ the peop'e of Belfast will, on election day, prove how little confidence can be placed in the worthy Editor's wild assertions. <a

opinions, At « public meeting in Charlotte- town he declared himself a railroad man. In the House of Assembly he stated that the only circumstance which could prevent him from voting for the railway Dill was the fact that he heid his seat by a ma- jority of only one vote. Mr. Davies show

ed a great want ofdignity and self-respect by occupying such a position. If he was en- titled to a seat in the House, the number of his majority amounted to nothing. If the fact of his ho'ding his seat by a majority of one vote prevented him from taking a free and independent course on a great public question, he should have resigned. Mr. Davies, morevuver, intimated that if his con- stituents desired him to vote for the bill, he would cheerfully accede to their wishes. Within twenty-four hours after making this

| cluding nearly all those who assisted in

signed a | 1equisition to bim to vete for the measure. 'On the strength of this-requisition he sup ‘ported it in all its rtages. But now after the bill, chiefly through his vote and influ. ence has became the law of the land, he ‘turns round and denounces the whole af-

yerment which introduced it. Was such in-|

| consistency ever before witnessed? We | placed in a position to ggt the road built firmed by late despatches,

| take the liberty of advising Mr. Davies to} | write no more commupications on this sub- | ject to the newspapers. His cause is bad | enough —his defence is worse.
