Qur readers are aware, from the lengthy votes of the debate given in this paper, that the propo- sals contained in the Duke ot Neweastle’s des- pateh of the Lith July, 1863, eecupied a prominent place in the speeches of the Opposition members, and particularly so in those delivered by Mr. Coles. Those proposals have been so fully set forth in the letters addressed to the Tenantry of the whole Island by the Leader of the Opposition, that it is not necessary now to particularize thean. Saffice it to say that, according to Mr. Pope's statement of the large umount of arrears due en the principal estales—namely, eight years —the tenants so indebted wonld, according to the Duke’s plan, be entitled to the privilege of pur- chasing their farms at eight years rental; and on the other eatates the average price would be from ten to twelve years. The Goverument party, who, it was evideut, Were wuxious to secure the | very highest price for the landlords, treated al-

due on the estates owned by Sir S. Cunard, Mr. | E. Cunard, and Mr. sulliven, amount te £44,000. Now, if the Duke's plan had been adopted, and

ithe estates mentioned had been purchased under |

jit, this enormous sum of £44,000 would be re- | mitted to the tenantry. If, on the other hand, the proposals of the Delegates were made law, | the £44,000 would be taken from the pockets of

ithe tenantry in the shape of purchase money. | This conclusion is inevitable—that the Govern- ment Delegates made an offer to the Proprietors | by which the tenantry on three estates would be

people that whoever are capable of devising means toameliorate the condition of the tenantry, the present Govermment are vot. If it be said, in excuse, that the want of success that has hitherto attended the echemes of the Governmeut, is not owing to any want of desire on their part to benefit the tenantry, but to difficulties that lay in the way of a settlement, which no Government, howerer honest and patriotic, could have sar- nounted—we answer, that it argues either ag unpardonable amount of stupidity in them not te have foreseen these difficulties, or of recklessness im plunging inte a course of expensive kegie lation from which no practical good could pos- sibly result. Either on the score of incom- | petency or dishonesty, the present Government stand condemned as vne of the worst with which the Island was ever afflicted, aud as such we have no doubt it will hereafter be characterised in the annals of the country.

That our conclusions are just, is tacitly adimit- ted by the editor of the Jslander hunself, when he bases his claims to the support of the tenantry, not on the sagacity of his party in devising measures for their welfare, or on their success im carrymg them out, but on his sectarian aeab> acd whew, iustead of answering the arguments ef his political opponents, be appeals te prejudices and feelings that have not the remotest beariig onthe question that new agitates the publie mind. ‘Phis trick of travelling out of the record is one which every dis-
