SABBATK E3170 0!.

The Canadian Legislature, during its recent session, up ‘med a Committee to make inquiries into the subject of Sabbath labor undcr Government control, including the conveyance and delivery of letters by the Post-oflice on the Lord’s day. Public attention had previously been very widely directed to the subject of Sabbath obser- vance generally, as is evident from the number of Petitions sent to the Legislature from both provinces; 156 Petitions, with I7,484 signatures, having been presented fl'oin Upper Canada, and forty, with 8,N0 signatures, from Lower Canada, making a total of 20,484 petitioners, Episcopalians, Presbytcrians, and Methodists. The Com- mittee of the Legislature issued a schedule

‘ of inquiries to intelligent and leading men ‘ in every department of business and public

life in both provinces, with a view to gathering the prevailing opinion. A di- gear of the replies to the questions is embo-

icd in the Committee's Report, front which we shall extract a few specimens, showing upon the whole, a remarkably healthy state of feeling in regard to the moral and religi- ous obligations and the physical advantages of the Sabbath, and a strong concurrence with the opinions of the Christian commu- nity in the mother country.

o the question, " Would the inquiry to trade, or inconvenience to individuals, aris- ing from the closing of the Post-oflicc on the Lord’s day, be so great as to justify the o ening of itll otlices on that day? forty in

pper Canada reply that it would not, and only three take the opposite view, Lower Canada being again nearly equally divided, sixteen in the negative and fourteen in the sthrrustivc." Again, “do you think mail steam-bouts and mail stages should be re- lieved from starting on any route on the Lord's day, so far as the Government is concerned ?” Forty-fbur in Upper Canada and twenty-four in Lower Canada answer in the sfirmative, two adding, “ except in cases of urgent nccessity;" eight only are of a contrary opinion. A diversity of o inion is brought out as to “ the stoppage ofstsgcs and steamers on "the Lord’: day," whilst travelling with the malls; but thirty- six answers sflirm that the arrest put upon these conveyances on Sabbath would be productive of no injury. One answer bears that by doing the business of seven days in six, a seventh part of the expense would be saved; another, that by discontinuing Sab- bath trsvelling, a better class of men would be employed on the conveyances, and pro- prietors and the public be proportionably

cuefited. Two more questions from the schedule:-—“Do you think the canals should be closed on the Lord's day ?” Forty-five in Upper Canada, and nineteen in -Lower Canada, answer in the a_tIirn_ia- live, and only seven in the negative. " Would the closing of the canals on the Lord’s day be injurious? And ifso how?” Thirty-two answer simply, that it would not be injurious, and many others give special replies to the same effect. In Lower Ca- nada fourteen answer in the negative, and onl four in the affirmative.

he testimony of the Mayor of Kingston, John Counter, Esq., is specially of impor- tsnce. This gentleman stated that he employs 150 men, and turns over I00,0IllI. in a year, but has not opened his letters on the Sabbath forthe last quarter of ‘a century that he has been in business, nor has he ever compelled his servants to work on the Lor s, day. He is of opinion that the stop- page of the Sunday mails and Post-office delivery would be a public benefit:-“I believe,” said he, "that from the active nature of man, an occasional cessation from labor is necessary to prevent him from bcin too much engrossed with the things of t e world, enabling him also to resume his labors with renewed vigor of body and mind. I think that man could not remain a moral and religious being while living in disobedience to the Divine command, ' Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,’ &c.”

Leaving Canada, with this noble example of the Mayor of Kingston, we turn from the subject of Sunday work to that of Sunday play. Germany is olten held up to us in this country, by frivolous tourists, as an example for our imitation in the matter of Sunday merry-making. This ltsbit is in- deed the usual concomitant of a state of

liticsl despotism, as witness France and Flussia in the present day, and our coun- try in the time of Stuarts and the Book of

ports. The German emigrant settlers in Newark, wishing to indulge their loose no- tions of Sabbath-keeping in the fashion of their own country, presented a Petition to the Common Council, praying for such a modification of the existing law as to permit them to "‘ visit wine and beer saloons, and

_thd like, and to engage in such amuoeiuents

as they had been accustomed to in their native country.” The Petition was restit- t to .s Cotnstittss, wttoss Jlsport is pit llsisd lathe New York pepsrs.lsudsa'

admirable ‘document, it is, although too long for being trsttssrilnd at length. The Report beers I potwerftal testimony to the Divine obligation of the Sabbath, to its rc- ligious and social benefits, ‘an ,-what we request the working classes ‘or’ is kingdom earnestly to cons'tdsr,—t'li'e ,i ' phi-nlils connexion betwixt s well-kept Sxfieth, on the one side; nod on title 9.h.l'.'“IO rl ltts of citizenship, and the progress of the bar- ing man in all that conduces to his welfare and dignity.

The decades of France, when the Salt- bath was nbolishcd durin‘ the madness of the first revolution, atfortfs salutary warn- ing to nations, which like England, Canada, and the United States, have prospered in pro ortion to their reverence for the laws of

. The miserable condition of Mexico, and the South American republics, where the Sabbath is practically annulled or made a more holiday, might have stforded sno- ther example of the danger of casting oil‘ the fear of God in the government of the world:—

“The example of France,‘ filly years since, where the Christian religion and the observance of the Sabbath were set aside by the wild frenzy of a people, just released from the restraints of law, was succeeded by s ' reign of terror’ before which was swept out of existence every vestigc of religion, virtue, happiness, and liberty, and all France was made s‘vsst charnel-house, which found its necessary termination in despotism; and such would be the result here if the same unrestrained license should be given to the passions of men nnscbooled in the elements of self-control, and regard- less of a due sttbscrvsncc to religious principles. Your Committee would com- mend to all our citizens the superior claims to regard and vcneration of the time-honor- ed custom of our,/‘others; and they trust the day is for distant when we shall exchange the ‘sound of the church goi bell’ for bonds of music and revelry; and t e services of prayer and praise befiting a Christian people in the service of God, for the plays or pastimes, such as are. granted by despots to their enslaved subjects. If we value at all the priceless legacy of our free govern- ment, which has been bequeathed to us by its founders, wherein we enjoy all that is valuable in liberty and freedom (for we re-

ard liberty without law as the most awful mlliction with which Heaven over permitted a doomed people to be cursed), we can look forward with no pleasent snticipations to the day when all the hallowed associa- tions that clubtcr around the Christian Sub- batb shall be drowned by the din and defile- ineut of Sunday desecration and debauch-

The Committee, wisely regarding the national happiness as depending less upon the form of government than upon the vir- toe and intelligence or the community, recommend a stcdfsst adherence to those pyinciplcs with which the welfare of the people and the hopes of the republic are inscpnrably identified; and whilst otfcring a welcome to the natives of every land to settle in their territory, they remind them that their choice is voluntary, and must be made on the reasonable condition that what- ever their previous habits may have been, they must conform to the laws and practice of the country of their adoption. These laws the Committee conclude by recom- mending to be firmly and rigorously enfor- ced, without res act to persons or country. The unanimous cliveraucc of the Common Council was in accordance with the recom- ntendution of their Committee. It is sub- joincd:—

" Resolved. That the demands of a portion of the German pnlation, as set forth in this memorial sf the 0th in time. are of such a character as to call forth a prompt. clear, and unequivocal refusal en the part of the city authorities to entertain a preposition. im- moral in its tendency, and so destructive teths peace and good order s is eomrttunity.
