THE TENANT UN(ON--I'TS ADVANTAGES AND) ABUSES.

——

In giving eleewhere extracts from the reported roceedings of the |elegation Conference lately beld in Charlottetown, we intimated that we

would take an early opportunity to offer seme |

observations Ga the leading principles set ferth by the Delegation. On reflection, we think we should not delay waking such remarks on this subject as suggest themselves to our mind, The orgamaaties of the tenantry inte Sucieties Leagues is ety pepe’, and would, if managed “— care and judgment, be eminently useful to the tenautry @ © sinet the jeasechold syatem. Heretelore they a peoa oaly remarkable for their distrust of each ether —for their national and religious anti- —and fer their disunion, where union was amet required, at election contests. The Jrisaman and the [sie-ofSkye mau—taking these as types of the tevant population of the country— have felt the yoke of landlordism mere keenly than others in a like condition; yet the son of the Ewerald Isle and the son of the heather seldom meet without scowling upen each other, and without indulgieg in mutual taunts about religion and national characteristics. These taunts prompt them to pursue different courses when they go to the hustings; and we behold there the singular spectacie ut two classes of men, beth burning te break the shackles of the proprietary system, tu fierce antagonism - -one class voting dead against

ir constitutional struggles

* the supporters of that systems, and the other up-

holding it, as far as they possibly can do by voting for the creatures and pominees of the proprietary party. Koaves and small politicians of the George Sutherland genusare continuuily inflaming the pre- judices of thedcutel people, sv as to prevent them trom forming an alliance with their tenant breth- ren of the Milesian stock, whe, in the full frankuess and ardour of their sculs, woald readily turget past differences, and jon the Gael in a combination against the commen eaemy. But the proprietary perty, aided by the tools uf the Sutherland stamp, will work to the death te prevent so desirable a consummation; keowmg that it would be the . death knell of the proprietary system ; and now the only bupe of the tenantry lies in destroying the iatlueace ot the clerice-pelitical agitators. Give ua, then, a Tenant League, subdivided into as many branches as possible, that will serve to remove national aud religious prejudices, that will work harmoniously for the attainwent of a ‘ecoarmen vbject, and we shall most heartily ev- courage it tu the ulmost of our power. Such an Anetitution. would be a standing protest against the leasehold systems, a8 long as it laste—it would Keep laudiyrd tyrauny aud aggressivu in check— ‘it would rebuke the petty iaselence and oppression

‘ot Ageuta aud Bavitfs—aad it would or should

cuimg tu the relied of uutortuuate teuauts when cruelly. distressed by unfeeling landlords. In these respects a Tenant League ur Uuien would ‘be of great benefit (o the reat-paying portion of our population. But there are other ways in which it might be emjneatly useful, It would exercise great imflueuce in election = cuntests. Candidates professing sympathy for the tenants, aud expressing a cesire Lo serve their interests alone, (when, perhaps, if retucned, they would betray them on the first opportunity )—wouid have their claims and pretensions submitted to the closest scrutiny; and would be oblig- ed to. subscribe to -the principles of the Ténant Union before receiving its support. Persous whe come forward as aspirants fur sena- tyrial honours, declaring, in a spirit of mwek inde- pendence, that they were bound to nc party, and would “suppert,” to use their own hackniod phrase, “ measures witheut reference to men "-— * loose fish,” aud all that tribe of political truck- stera, wi have tucit price, and are ready to change with the fluctuations of the political market — weald be inewntinently pitehed over- beard by # vigerous Tenaut Union, to make rom for wea who would have the honesty and pluck te declare at onee the side upou which Uiey would Sete. There can be only two sides in the Hause ot Assembly. The man who will net premptly deelare on which side he enrolls himself, is open tu very grave suspicion. “ Let no such man be trusted.” And the Tenant Union, actuated by their great desire of abviishing tue leasehold tenure, should, in justice to themselves, refuse to give their support to any candidate whe would wet unhesitatingly promise to advocate their principles. Parlianent is the ouly place im which tle principles of a Teuant Union, when they are wot allowed to run beyond the limits of the Con- stitution, can have any practical effect; and, therefore, their first care should be to let no mau go ty Parliament, as far as. they could prevent hima, wuless he wae able aud willing to fight in their cause. ;

We have thus briefly neticed some of the ad- vantages of a Tenunts’ Union, assuming that it is mahaged with" judgment and care. But like niday other things, such an institution will have ite dark as well us its fair sides,—it may become fruitiut of tmimetce/ and disaster if it propagates and encourages wild amd seditious theories. In the address detivered by Mr. George Adams, the other day-— whielr ia endorsed by the Unive of whieb“he i# the leading member—principles and opinions are proclaimed that, even in revolutionary times, prudent wen would hesitate to announce, He advocates the right of the tenants to refuse the payment of rout, and to resist the laws that way be put in force for their collection, We shall not diapute the first part of thia statement. The tenaut may refuse to.pay his rent — but he dows this at bia peril. It he bas wade up his mind not to pay, it is better for him to say ne- thing about it. But when he declares, in the teeth of the lafdletd or bis agent, that never mote wil 4 shilling be paid to either until be is allowed to purchase his farm on bis own terms, he immediately provokes a legal contest with the laidlord. The latter will say—* This retractory teuant of mive declares he will pay no rent—now, I shall see if f car not make bim pay. The ques- tion is, whether he has a better right to refuse than I have w evliect rent.” If the tenant had the geod sense te abstain from open defiance, the landlord would uot, perhaps, trouble him by harsh measures; but unfortunately for the tenant, he is not in a position to ebalienge and dety a Wealthy landlord, who, in addition to his social

waition, has the \aw of the land on hisside. Mr. t telle us—and the Union which he impru- dently leads echoes the seutiment—that he is de- termined to reais the law of the land. This is very silly, and demonstrates most conclusively the incompetency of the men to manage the movement which they have inaugurated, We feel it our duty tu tell them, without delay, and without circum cution, that no man has a right to resist the laws for the attainment of any pab- lie object—(certainly in any case for no private one), until al) the resources under the Censtitu- tion have been exhausted. We fully agree with the Tenarts’ Union that it is the right of an op Pressed people tu resist the enforcement of arbi- trary and tyrannical laws,—but a few conditions or drawbacks ar+ annexed to the exercise of this right: Under represen-ative institutions such a8 ours, the laws are presemed to be the emanation of the public miud—if hey are bad and oppres- sive, the power which made them can repeal them—if the people will not unite te repeal, change, or modify the laws, it is not likely

ever likely te possess. It may be no difficult mat- | ter to bag a Bailiff or an Agent now and then ; | but to attempt to bag a Company or a Regiment of armed soldiers, would be another’ affair. Gongs, and tin kettles, and a few discharges of | musketry, may frighten a worthless Bailiff out of

i

/a settlement; and, perhaps, it would be no great barm if the dirty fellow was favoured with a bath in the nearest duck pond ; but it is net the Bailiff alone that is outraged in thie case. It is the ma- jesty of the law—it is the authority of ove of the areatest empires in the world that is thas impo- tently aud foolishly defied. And no one will doubt that Mr. George Adams and the Teaant Union would cat a very precious figure in putting themselves in a hostile attitude agaiust the British Empire.

We have been particularly cautious in avoiding the expression of any remarks that might jar upon the feelings of our friends in the Tenant Union. We believe that Organization embrace. many of our political supporters and allies, and we thoroughly agree with them in some points of their present policy. We agree with them that it is very desirable to have the tenuntry united in giving a moral opposition to landlord oppres- sion—we will labour with them to have the lease- | hold tenure abolished, in the speediest and most | honest way, by Government purchase—we will join heart and soul with them to have their views faicly and fully represented in Parliament—we will help them, as far as we can, to destroy the Fifteen Years’ Purchase Bill—we will encourage, to the extent of our ability, the good work ot cbarity in sheltering the houseless and the help- less that may be singled out as the victim of landlord tyranny ; but we shall never advise any man to repudiate his obligations, or to do what is still more foolish—to rebel against the censtita- tion and tue laws of the land in which he lives.

Tux OLv Anm Caaix.—The other day @ young couple, just returned from the honey- moon, at Studley, near Trowbridge, decided upon having ** the old arm chair’ ’repolished and restuffed, the difficulty was how to send this chair away, for grandina seldom vacated it. One day whilst the old dame was out of the way, the chair was sent off to the uphol. sterer. On grandma’sreturo she immediate- ly missed her chair, and eagerly inquired for it. * Dh, [ve sent it away tu be cieaned,’ said dutiful Dorothy. + What!’’ shrieked the horrified lady—** There was four hun- dred pounds in bawk motes in the seating!" A messenger was immediately despatelied to the upholsterer’s for the chair, acd it was returned with the treasure trove, sufely de- posited in the seating. Sovn aiter that ao uld petticuat was furaged out, and consigned to the ray-bag, but tie old dame rescued it in time, and displayed to her astonished grand-daughter a large number of sovereigns sowed in the wa:stband.— Bristol Post.

GEROKGE LEWIS, Market Clerk.

| From the Richmond Whig.]

The Charleston ‘ Courier’ makes a timely sug- gestion in recommending the attention of our government to the naturalization and cultivation of Calisaya, for the preservation of the heaith of our soldiers. This article has a peculiar etfect upon the liver, ana guards the system against disease by exposure and irregular diet. It is said that the great success of the Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previous to our unhappy difficulties was found in most Southern homes, was owing to the extract of Calisuya Bark which it contained as one of its principal ingredients—" In confirmation of this, we have heard one of our most distinguished | physivians remark, that whenever he felt unwell from ordiuary dietetic or atmospheric causes, he invariably relieved himself by Plantation Bitters. Now, that these Bitters cannot be obtained, a sub- stitute should be prepared —We understand our yovernment has opened negotiations with Dr. Drake through a secret ayent, but with what truth we do not know.” % f Py * e

We are exceedingly obliged to the Richmond

Whig’ for ita remembrance of * Auld Lang Syne,"’ but we can assure “Our Government” that the Plantation Bitters are not for sale to any ‘ secret aveuts,”” North or Soath. There is probably several other things that “* Our Government” will yet want

We kuow that we have the best and most popular medicine in the world. We are notafraid to show what it is composed of.

Physicians are compelled to recommend it.

Catisayva Bark has been celebrated for over two hundred years, and was sold during the reign of Louis XVI, King of France, forthe enormous price ef its own Weight in silver. It is remarkable for Dyspepsia, Fevers, Weakuess, Constipation, &c.

Cascanitta Bank.—For Diarrhe, Colic, and diseases of the stomach and bowels.

Dasvetion.—For Inflammation of the Loins and Dropsical Atlections.

CHuamMoMILeE FLowexs.—For enfeebled digestion.

Lavenpen Frowens —Aromatic, stimalant and tonie~ highly invigorating in nervous debility. Wixtrercreren.—For Scrofula, Rheumatiem, &c. AvNisk.—An aromatic carminuative ; creating flesh, mascle and milk; much used by mothers nursing. Also, clove-buds, orange caraway, coriander, snuke-root, &c,

S.—T.—1860—X.

Another wonderful ingredient, of -Spanish origin, imparting beauty to the complexion and brillianey to the mind, is yet unknown to the commerce of the world,and we withhold its name for the present. Huwbays and quacks howl! about the Plantation Bitters; but the following is what's the matter, and they know it:

PLANTATION BITTERS WILL CURE

Cold Extremities and Feverish Lips,

Sour Stomach and fetid breath.

Flatulency and Indigestion.

Nervous Aftfections.

Excessive Fatigue aud Short Breath.

Pain over the Eyes.

Mental Despoudency.

Prostration, Great Weakness.

Ballow complexion, Weak Bowels.
