(FOR THE EXAMINER.) Mr. Evrron ;—Many of my friends urged me to offer myself at the late election ; and when [ declined, [ promised that J would still do my best with my pen to forward a settlement of the land question.

But the case is greatly altered for the | better since the election. I need not argue now to show how | the inhabitants have been wronged, when Lord Stanley de] elared it to the British Parliament; and as a proof tha the | wrong was admitted, he obtained a vote of £100,000 ster- | ling, to provide a remedy and repair the wrongs which have | been committed. But although members of Parliament are! willing to allow compeusation to partics who have suffered | wrong, through any act of the Colonia! members would agree, to purchase from porsous who are | wrong‘ully holding over forfeited lauds, until it is ascertained | whether the minister of his own accord gave that indulgence, | or whether the grantees obtained that indulgence by deeciving | the ministers; for if the minister only was in fualt, the jand- lords were not to blame, and should receive compensation for their Jand, when it is taken fromtiem. But if tho grantecs| deceived ministers on purpose to impose a rent upen the in-| habitants, they have no claim to receive compensation from | Government, and ought to refund the sums they have taken

wrongfally from the people. Therefore, the first proceeding, | to find ont who was in frult, is to have the titles investigated ; | and if the landlords are not guilty, they have nothing io fear. |

But when [ bear of their seerct alliance, and see the ex-! aggerated statements of the public debt in their hireling press, | held up week after weck to deceive the people, and keep | them blind to the tens of thousands of pounds annually | wrung from the tenantry wrongfully, and know the clap-trap | made of the Bible question, to get the ercatures of the land- holders into power, to deeide the land question in their own favour,—such schemes lead me to believe that the land- holders know they have a bad cause.

Where a powerful party of wroty-docrs has so much to gain by deceiving the people, it is the posed porson to try and inform them better ; he best wi y would be, to hold a mx eting in each County, where | the subject could be fairly canvassed.

The country, viewing it generally, without regard ty sect or party, is a poor one; and it looks very much like the pot calling the kettle black for one party-to stick Up thei nose and ery out poverty! against the other.

credit for creating it ; and we believe, moreover, that it could not subdue the agitation if it tried. The land proprietors, tlicir agents, and their tory supporters in the late House of Assembly, are alone responsible for whatever public discontent and excitement may ensue. The present Government hag laboured, for five or six years, to put a stop to agitation about the land question ; and adopted the Purchase Bill, asa fair, honourable, and quiet substitute for the vexatious measure of Escheat. The Purchase Bill bas been violently opposed by the proprietors and their agents, and every attempt made to bring discredit upon the Colony by misrepresenting theprocesdings of the Government under the operations of that Bill. The Biy for effecting a Loan was passed as a supplement to the others —it originated at the suggestion, and was introduced with the concurrence of a late Colonial Minister. Lhe proprictary party

j

have laboured incessantly, both here and in England, to poe vent this Bill from becoming law ; and they have suececdedgy far as to induce the present Minister for the Colonies to with draw it, for a while, from the consideration of the House of Commons. The Opposition lost no opportunity of censurmg the Government for bringing forward these mild and equitable Our party were told that they had betrayed the rights of the people by not continuing to agiiate for escheat.

measures.

‘* Give us a Court of Exugquiry,’’ was the clamour of the Tories both in and out of the House during the last four years. It was the cry with which they ascended the hustings at the last election as well as the one before. It was the ery with which they sought to excite popular fecling against the Government. ‘In the last Session several of the Opposition pretended to be exceedingly amsious for “‘ a Court of Enquiry.’”’ The Leader of the Goverument and his political associates answered them in effeet, as follows :—‘* Gentlemen, wo shali first try the |effect of remedial measures, such as the Purchase and Loan

Bills. If these fail through the opposition of the proprietors, and the country should expressa desire for a Court of Enquiry in the event of such failure, we shall cheerfully assist you in Well, the Loan Bill has been set aside for the present ; the Parchage

Bill cannot be worked any further for want of funds, even if there were a disposition on the part of any of the proprietors to sell their lands ; and nothing now remains for the supporters of the Government in the Assembly but to keep their promise with the Opposition. The agitation, then, is clearly the offspring of the machinations of tho Tory party. They laboured hard to get it up.
