But our object, ov the present occasion. is pot so much to poiut ont what Laird and Uaythorne did or did uot do at the the time we evtered the Confederacy, as to draw attention, once avainu, to the demagogic conduct of one of our repre sentatives with regard to this same Fi-h-

ery Award. Mr. L H_ Davies, the local Grit lender, after having gros:

ly veglected the Istau ’s interests before the Halifax Commission, declared

over and over again. through the press!

and on the stump,that the proper place to urge the claims of the Islaud io a separa’e and distiue: share of the Award is on the flour of the Dominion Louse ot Commons. tn concluding one of his leagthy epistles to Tun Examixer, he said; * Aud I yet indulge the hope that our representatives will vot be unsueccess. ful, if they have the courage. manfully and boldiy, to submit our claim ou its basis to the House of Commons, and claim there a vote in support of it. It we lose there, then it will be time enongh to crus der of the expediency of re orting to the C.urts of Law.” Ou the strength of these aud similar state- ments, Mr. Davies was elect. d to Parlia ment ‘Lhe peepe naturally supposed that one of his very first effurts at Ottawa would be in the direction of the Fishery Award. Our claim, according to him,ouly require! to be submitied to the Hlouse on it- basis,to receive fas orable consideration, Over a million aud a quarter dollars is still due this Islaud as her just share— proportionate to the value of our Figber- jes—of the Award.

It looks as though ali his grand preselection promises had been forgotten iv the glitter aud glare of the Capital. In a few days more he will be with us again. As his trieuds grasp him by the hand avd welcome him back, we trust some them may he candid enough to inquire: ‘What about the Fishery Award?’

iwho in turn were followed by meny others, !'Tuere were different degrees of Puritanism, | some meain'a ning one thing. others another, From these the Pilgr.m Fathers were in part distinct, though they had many points in common. Both eame to the frame country with the same professed cbject, viz.,—to seek liherty ; both were arxieus te spread the Doctrinis of Ch istianity ; hoth loved what was right, and fair, and both detested wrorg. But there was a differ. nce between them. The Pilgrim Fathers were tolerant and catholic in their views ; on the other har d the Puritans were nerrow and bigoted. Th» Pilgrim Fathers mide treaies with the Indians and observed hem ;while the Puritons did not always keep honor with the native tribes. The Pilurim Fathers were loyal to the Th one wd Crown of the dearcid England they had eft ; while the Puritans, anury «nd res nt ful with the persecution they had received, cherished a desire to avenge their wrongs. The ultimate result of thie disloyalty wa- the war of the Revolution,

The chief aim of the Puritan Fathers was to work out the great prineipl s which they hed conceived. Their ma'erial was the New Testament. They bel ved in the ‘fheacy «f prayer; they bad faith in the auth They hed respect for the Bible. in 1692 the Pilgrim cvlony of Plymouth becsmne absorbed m the Puritan ecclony ot Massachnsetts, The population before long increased rapidly, the wilderness began o be cultivated, and they graaually began © recognize their own importance, which mportance was also racogniz d, to a certain exteat, in Europe, For more than a cen- tury were fermenting the troub'es which uitimately severed ~he bond of union «¢ xist- ing between the M ther Country «nd her American colony In the reign of George (11. most obnexieus Acts were passed im the Bri ish Parliament with reference to the col mists—Acts which were resisted by the colonists, who held that they were a degra- dation to the descendants ot British blood, (on the part of the Parliament, blunder sne- ceeded t lunder. until hostilities were fivally begup. The Revoluticnists did net fight against the tax sought to be imposed itself, but against the prineiple on which it vas sought to be imposed. Taxation without repr seutatin was unfair, ur- just, wrong. ‘Porcugheut the long strugek which followed, theugh deprecating the deplorable fact that America should so soon be deluged in bloodshed, and hoping all the time for better things from the Home Gov- ernment, the Loyalists remuined true to the land that gave them birth. The war came; the stera corflet of the Revelution. To what persecution were the Loyalis's now subjected, nove can really describe. They were insulted, tarred and feathered, driven like dogs out of the country, hanged and shot because they fonght in the Imperial ranks lhey were fonnd guilty ef high treasom and their goods and chattels might be contfise u- ed by anybody. They were outlawed, and tlaw was pass d thatif they were found in the State of New Yok they shon'd suff. r the penalty of death C mseqnently they had to search for homes in a new e untry, wd begin their lives anew Lke Abra- hain, they went ous not knowieg whither hey went.
