.To THE EDiToa or THE COLONIAL HERALD.

1 Sin ;—When our late Representative, the Hon. Charles m Young, published his address to us on his being called to "L the Legislative Owned, and renewed the difi‘erent pledges it he had formerly made, viz. “to advocate our cause and that

" “ of the people—to do all in his power to reform grievances “wherever they may exist, to have the Tenantry relieved n -- “from that weight Of oppression which has alniost borne " “them to the dust, &c., and again with such praiseworthy

I? ‘ zeal avowed himself to be a “Reformer,” he enjoined us to l “ watch him narrowly in his new career, and it he swerved u“ “ from these principles—and deserted our cause—that then

. l, “ be permitted every. tongue in the Island to wag at him in , l i “ derision, and his name to be an execratiori to those who “'3- . “pronounce it.” I Having read Mr. Young’s address, it was the Opinion of some of my neighbours, as well as myself, that in his new . station we could not watch his career so well as when he i was in the House of Assembly; but, Sir, I am happy to 3 observe that you have given us, in your last week’s paper, a report of the speeches inthe Legislative Council on a very Liimportant question—that Of raising the Salary Of the Lieut. : Governor of this Colony out of the funds of the people; and ; by which report it appears, that Mr. Young was an advocate .for the measure, and voted for an addition to his Excellciicy’s Salary. 1 Offer no remark on Mr. Yountr’s conduct therein; but I will take that liberty which Mr. Young leaves us to make use of; and will ask him through your paper, \Vbetlier he would have voted the same way on the same question in the House of Assembly, had he remained there? And if he says, that he would have done so, then, 1 ask, Whether 1 he at any time, before the Legislature met, had expressed himself to the effect, that he would not do so in the House

It is situated in the Gulpli of St. Law- rence, and is 0iilvtwo days’ travel by Coach and Steamboat from Halifax, N. S: This Colony, with respect to salubrity ofclimate, tertility‘ofsml, and excellent waters, is second to few, if our, in the British Dmiiinious. The capitalist who determines on'emi- grilling, may-here purchase wilderness lands from 155. [0255, per acre; 91' improved Farms, in dilfcrent sections oftlie lsland, fit from £2. to £6 per acre, according to situation, and the value of the Bmldings erected upon the property. The soil of this Island produces hourly all kinds of grain, hay and vegetables; and futile, as well as agricultural implements, suitable totlie Colo y, can be obtained at moderate prices. There are twelve .Agyidultiiral Societies, established within the lust few years, actively employed in introducing from different countries the most improved breeds ofLivc Stock, Agricultural Implements. &C. suitable for the former.
