attention throughout the Colonies. at least, if not in Great Britain, hi the very serious in'ury which is, and has, for years, been sustiiino by British Ship Owners in their direct commerce with the United States, through the o ration of a certain Clause of a certain Treaty tween Great Bribin and the United States now exist- ing—cf which, however, I cannot just now, give on the date or naine—-in consequence of whic British Ship Masters when, in any Port of the United States, have no power to compel any of their Crew, who refuse to work, or who gage deserted their Ships, to return to their u y.

Ihave had several years’ experience of the impossibility of obtaining redress under such circumstances, in the United States ; and I have sulller by it, to the amount of hundreds of

unds ; but, until my last voyage to the United

tates, 1 was not aware that, instead of being

rovided against b any international Treaty, ii

reaty between (zreat Britain and the United States, is now. and has, for years,been in force, which actually fosters and encoura s the in- subordination and desertion of ourgeainen in the diflerent Ports of the United States.

Being in Boston, U. S., in the month ofSep-

.temlier last, some of my crew deserted from my

Ship, and as the most probable course by whic to reclaim them, and compel their return to du- ty under their Articles, I a plied for advice and assistance to the British onsul; but he, ver much to in surprise, gave me to understand that ho ho no power to render mo the service which I had hoped he could and would afiord m

e.

Much disa intcd in the issue of my it li- cation to tliepgi-)itisli Consul, I determined ‘lliut 1 would consult tt lawyer u n the subject. I accordingly enquired outu ighly respectable legal practitioner: and, from him, I obtained the astounding information that. through the

ioration of a certain Clause of ii certain Trea- ty existing between Great Britain and the Uni- ted States. British seamen, on entering any Port of the United States, have it in their power to Vl0IlllAl their Articles entered into in any part of the British dominions,—that they are, in fact, in no way binding or compulsory upon them in the United Sbites : and that, although Ship Mas- ters ina have claims u n them, for advances, they can only sue them as debtors, much in the same way that debtors are sued in our Small Debts Courts in this Island ; and that, even should they obtain judgments against such de- faultcrs. as debtors, the would seldom derive any ultimate benefit rom theiu,—more fre- qucntely, on the contrary, further loss and in- creus vexation.

By a similar Treaty between Denmark and the United States, a procisel similar hardship is imposed upon the Dania Shipping Interests; but, as the lawyers informed me, the Articles of Agreement entered into, at home, by the sea- men of any other country, are fully as binding upon them in the United States. as at home.

For this information and o inion, I paid the lawyer a fee of live dellars. ut. not satisfied, I a nplied to a second. His o inion, however, condriued that of the Iirst. Still oubtful—-as well might s to the existence of any Treat between the two countries, any clause of whic could be capable of bearingbsuch an interpreta- tion as that t upon it the two lawyers whom I had a ready consulted, I determined to take the opinion ofa third. I ' so, but his opinion was precisel that of his two brethren whom I had reviousl consulted; and so, with

my purse lig ter by t o yinent of fifteen dol- lars to the lawyers, ut farther from the ho s of redress than ever, I returned to the

British Consul, and made him so uainted with the very unsatisfector result 0 in applica- tions amongst the gent omen of the orig robe. He appeared in no way surprised at it; but, with rather more clearncss and distinotness than he had before stated the fact. assured me that the direct moving cause to the fr uent deser- tion of British seamen from their hips in the Ports of the United States, was the operation of the very clause in a certain Treaty pointed out to me by the lawyers. '

With what stomach I contrived to endure my disappointment and vextion, or how I, in the end, succeeded in su plying the delicienc oc- casioned by desertion in my complement 0 men, it boots not now to state. M present object is to call public attention. in tllis and the neigh- bouring Colonies. at least, to the existence of this 'l‘reaty,so very in'urious,in the operation of one ofits clauses at east, to the British Ship- ping Interests, in the sanguine hope that, when the muse of so great an evil is pointed out, and generally known, it will awaken such a spirit of indignation at the advantage which seems, most unaccountably, to have been taken by, or allowed to, the United States, as will lead, not only our Colonial Governments and Le isla- tures, but those of the Mother Country.to inter- fere efictually for the redress of the grievance.

I have. as a Ship Master, visited nearly every Port in South America, with which Great Bri- tain carries on commercial intercourse ; but, whether amongst Spaniards. or Portu ose, I have had always extended to me, for e an port of my lawful authority over my crews, in cases , the assistance, from the au- thorities of the place, which I could reasonably desire, or expect. is only in Ports of the United States of Ainerica—-amon t our broth- ron, our “ oum pm Ie", as I won d wish to ac- count them—that have been denied that liiir protection which the interests of commerce re-

uire to be extended to Ship Masters, all over are world.

In conclusion. however, I may just further

B.‘ observe that the Treaties to which I have allu-

ded. injuriously as they operate to the Shipping lnterss of rest Britain and Denmark, are yet pretty advantageous to the ‘Consuls of those countries in the United States; for these gen- tlemsn charge a dollars head for all the seamen whom y are the means of prccurlhaog hit any ship-master who is deserted by the w e or any part of his crew.

been made to me, by thousands of my friends and fellow-countrymen, who have united in forwarding to me an expression of their disaoprobatioii of my eject- ment from the ollice of Queen's l‘rint.sr, and of their approval of the inannsr in which, with due regard to public economy, and ity to the Government. I dischar ed the duties cfthat appointment for a long send 0 years-—I venture to malts you a tender ofrny services. as oneof our Representatives in the As- sembly, with a eotihdeiiee in the resu or which,

liupl. in no other circumstances, could I have found a sutlicieiit warrant.

The time has now arrived when you, in common with your brother electors throughout the Island; have a right to enquire, and, b your decisions, to any, as respects that majority, wliethsr the changes which have been aocom lishsd by them, have not is the mum, been mac less for the public benefit, than for their own private advsitta tsad whether the present occupants of Public have proved

selves as worthy of their several appointments, and as capable of discharging their oflictal duties, as the long-tried and sllicient Public Servants who were discarded. to malts way for their advancement; and I, for one, am strongly inclined, from my knowledge ot’ the general sentiments of a large section of the peo- pls. with respect to these questions, to look forward to_ such an immediate change in the personal con- stitution of the Assembly, as will place the governin power in the hands of men much more capable a deservl , than the upon whom the deceived people conferrs it at the sat General Election.

I have ever been forward.as opportunities have oc- curred, to exert myself with a view to the advance- ment of the best interests of my country; and, on oc- cusiotis of trial and difliculty, I have not been afraid to devote myself to the cause of the people, in oppo- sition to the arbitrary will of the man in power, rs- gnrdless of all he might elfect to my priviits injury : and, on more than one occasion, have I employed my Press and stood forward as the champion of the Pec- ple's Rights, when threatened by an unconstitutional and tyrumiical assumption of authority. On th facts. I need not now enlarge; for they are well known to, and, I hope, duly appreciated also by, many of you.

Alon time—now 40 yenrs—iii public life, I am intiniatsly acquainted, not only with the open , but, I think, I may venture to say, with the secret history also, ol all the changes which have occurred, in this Island during that period; and this knowledge, coupled with the experience which I have acquired, in the discharge of various important public duties, is such as,I trust, has qu ' me, in some degree, for the discharge of the onerous and important duties of a Legislative Representative of the People.

The short trial which we have had ofthe New Sys- tom of Government, has,I think, been sulficient to convince the peop that it already demands some Rsctiticaticn at their hands. It is, in my opinion, a mistnlta—which, if persisted in, may, at one time or another, prove seriously detrimental to the public in- tsie~ts—-to require any cftho Public Ollicers, besides the Colonial Secretary and the Attorney General, to have seats in the Assembly. 'I‘hs Treasurer, and other Otlicera concerned in the Collection of the Re- venue, ought, I think, to be held ineligible to seats in the Legislature.

'I‘o shew how livel an interest I have ulwa s ts- keri in the progress olythe Colony, it will be so cient for me to state that scarcely a single Public Underta- king, at all likely to bear beneficially upon the gene- ral interests, has been sston foot, to which I have not lent a helping hand, either by means of my Press, my purse, in personal exertions, or by all these to- gather: as, or instance, the tint Agricultural society, the first Steam Beat. the first Steam Mill, and the first Pulling and Cloth-dressing Mill; besides Public Whsrfs, School Houses, Bridges and Churches; to all of which, for the promotion of the public well- being, convenience, ccinfort, or advantage in one way or other, I have freely lent my aid.

Praclicable insesuree should be determined upon, by the Assembly. for the amelioration of the condi- tion ofthe Tenantr . To that end, a msasura should be brcu ht fcrwsr and matured for the securing of ' equitable compensation for their improve- ments, to worthy and industrious men. who may, through misfortune, be liable to Ejectment from their Farms; as such a measure would not only atford a just protection to the Iii hls of Labour, but prove a powerful stimulus to in ustry and perseverance, on the rt of the poorer classes ofour Agriculturists.

I returned to the Assembly, I will be prepared to give my assistance to omcts the success of any hon- est and well-digested scheme. which may be brought forward for the conversion of the Leasehold into F ree- hold 'l‘enure.

more equitable and ellicisnt Road System isa dseideratum; and I would approve of a repeal of the resent Statute Labour Act, and the providing for the oad Service. by causing these most interested in it, and benefited by it, to bear the greater part of the rtlisn. I am persuaded that the establishment of Rural Municipalities would greatly mots the general im- provsmeiit of the Colony, a confer many material benefits upon the people. It would not only relieve the Assembly from the discharge of many duties, of which they cannot, as experience has proved, always acquit themselves to the satisfaction of those who are itnmediately concerned, and shorten the duration of the Sessions: but enable the people to take upon themselves a satire management of their local afliiirs. A Bill for the erection of such Municipalities, duly guarded in all its provisions, would. therefore, have my su

Isni fully aware of the great advantages which would result to the C any from eciprocal Free Trade with the United States, upon the broadest. ba- sis; and I would cordially and earnestly units with those in the House who should honestly seslt its esta- blishmsnt.

The Free School Act. [am afraid, will not operate so much for the gsnsgl advantage as it was, at flrst,
