Lt reminds me very forcibly of one W. U1. Pope, who sometime since got a certificate fiom the President of the Bank of what L suppose he thought would be a whztewash for a very ugly and suspicious trausaction OF some years belore ; and yet when the matter came to be examined in the crucible | of aualysis, the whétewash dissolved into a black and noxious | vapour, Which only discoloured more the deformity intended to be concealed, and clearly showed that the President, who so very seriously identilicd himself in the application of the whitewash, was not the President of the Bank, nor on this Island at ihe time most of the large amount lest by the Bank was abstracted through the aid or means cf the said W. H. | Pope. I suppose your Excellency has heard the story of the fox that lost its tail in a trap, while endeavouring to possess itself of some property which did not belong to it, and then , began to preach to its neighbors how convenient and fashion- lable 1 was not to be troubled with a tail, and advised all the | other foxes to cut off their tails also. Now, it may be quite ia accordance with Mr. Pope's antecedenis to put your [x- cellency in his own position in reference to the whitewash, so that your certificates, when analyzed, mey bring down ou you the same moral turpitude which his attempted whitewash brought on himself. Now, your Excellency should be— apart from your Council—like Caesar’s wile—* above sus- picion ;” und how can others think you * above suspicion” uuless you think so yourself? 1 don’t for a moment accuse your Excellency of a guilty participation in the low cunning aud disreputable means adopted by the newly fledged coroner

these clagses wi!l admit themselves to be slaves; and that they claim equal rights and privileges with all others under the laws of the Colony. Your Excelleney’s Secretary, W. i.

{still further. They had read in the Book of Numbew thas ‘blood defileth the land, and the land eannot be cleansed of ithe bivod that is shed therein, but by the blood of bim that shed it.” Seriptural quotations were not wanting to condema the king, and hence we find that the judges who passed sen- tence on lim console themselves by the knuwledge “ that they had leorsed from holy writ that’* to acquit the guilty was of equal abomination as to condemn the innocent.

| So conscious was the Parla vent—if it can pass by that ap- pelation—of the illegality and infamy of the act they were about to commit, that im order to give a show of reason to their ‘intended impeachment of the king, they had recourse to the subterfuge of passing a vote, declaring “ that it was treagon in | the king to levy war against h:s parliament,” “ and afierwards appointed a hizh court of justice (?) to try him for this new in- ‘vented treason. ‘The people of England never consented to the death of Charles. In proof of this, I might refer Mr. Rose to the many reactionary movements which took place in favor jof the king when it was fiund that the fanatical party—or le- 'vellers as they were commonly calied—were determined in ‘their Olind @ad furious zeal to push matters to such an ex'reme

length—movements which were crushed with merciless severity |

—See Lingard, vol. vi, and Hune (a royalist) and Milton, (a parliamentarian,) mekes the jatter say, in reference to the King: ‘ It was « deed mest odious to the people, and not only to your party, but to many among ourselves ; and it is perilous for any Goveininent to outrage the public opinion, to most wae it perilous for a Government which had from that opinion alone its birth, its nurture, and usdefence.”” Macaulay, I presume, _ = be considered @ partizan of Charles; and yet we have /his testimony, that it was a violation of publ imi | the king was tried and beheaded. epg Barco I have been thus explicit to convince Mr. Ross that it was jpot the people, nor their representatives who sent Charles to ithe block, as falsely asserted by him. A lawless, yet deter- |mined aod ambitious set of fanatics enjoy the undivided glory of that act. Pervaps Mr. Ross is a betier authority than Mace aulay ; and in the views put forth in the article under review, he is but carrying into effect his promise of revolutionizing the lnterary prediecuons of the P. E. Islanders, Not only, how- ever, does Macaulay disapprove of the king’s beheading ; but aimost every respeciable historian does so. It would extend this communication to too great a length to give the opinions of lume and Lingard on this important subject. I shail bring ‘my Yemarks to a close by reminding the Editor of “ Ross’s Week!y’” that he is pursuing a course not calculated to impress the puoli¢ with a very lotiy idea of his humanity or loyalty. Rebellion is @ principle, or passion if you will, inherent in hu- man nature. It requires neither the insidious arte of the con- ceaied traitor, nor the laboured attemps of the ephemeral |penny-a-liner to call it forth. It demands rather the refined principles of a liberal and enlightened government to restrain aud hold :t in eheck. And it is to be regretted that there is in | our Community any Editor or proprietor of a journal so devoid |of judgment, to characterize it by no ha:sher term, as boldly

| Sim,—It is obvious, by reading the two last numbers of the Islander, that the Editor, and the Government which he is last assisting in their downward career, are smarting under the lash of the fearless and manly ‘* Leader of the Opposition,” and dreading the exposure of” their treachery towards the tenantry, which has been revealed recently in the House of Assembly. W. Ul. Pope doubtless considers his pereonalities wi | sullice for argument; he perhaps deems his last editorial very severe. I, who have watched the public career of Mr. Coles—though personally unacquainted with him—consider it, what every ‘* right thinking person” must pronounee it, a piece of low ribaldry emanating from a galled and splenetic mind, guided by a wicked and malicious spirit. It is rich in the extreme to hear ** the evil genius of the tenantry’’ lecture any one on truth or courage. As for his truth, { assert with- out fear of contradiction, that if at the taking of the Census the question be asked who is the most unscrupulous man in the Island where truth is concerned, three-fourths of tha | pople will answer, W. H. Pope, the Colonial Secretary. A /single instance of his utter disregard for truth would no more |deseribe him than would a brick describe Babylon. After | Stating that Sir Dominick Daly was in disgracs at the Colonial | Office, he suppressed in the Js/ander the contradiction to his false assertions and predictions regarding that highly respect- }ed gentlemen. The editor copies the telegram so far as it announces Sir Dominick Daly’s arrival in New York, but he conceals the remainder, which states that our late Governor has been ** sent to transact important business.”’ What an honorable man! what an independent journalist ! in the Islander of the 8th inst., Mr. Pope informs us that
