of every thing, and then hand him over, to work out the debt and costs at the mercy of a_ merciless Landlord. IAN LLEc'ron has told you that Mr. COOPER refused to give any thing to assist the men to pay their fine, who were sentenced to fine and imprisonment for resisti-ig the Sheriff, pad he had not heard ofa single instance of Mr. Coornus exertions in behalf of the Tenantry, but when he received value for value. All this is false; and if'AN ELECTOR is an inhabitant ofBay Fortune, he must have known it to be so when he wrote it. A Public meeting was called, and held at Bay Fortune School-house, to make a contribution, by subscription, to assist the prisoners to pay their fines; but as I had no desire to subscribe more than some of my neighbours, myself-and family subscribed Three Pounds—but Ipaid Five Pounds to the Treasurer apponited to receive the subscription; and when Mr. I-IAVILAND sent the Sheriff with Bailable Writs to take the I‘cnantry, I gave them Eight Pounds, to divide amongst them. I gave Twenty Pounds to bring a case, asl pro- posed, before the Conrt, and AN ELECTOR will be able to show you the rest when he is furnished with a copy of my « Accounts.

AN ELECTOR. has said, that those persecuted men were my'dupes.._ This is as much as saying that I was concern- ed iii adVisuig resistance to the Sheriff, in thesale of Mr. James Douglas’s property. IfAN ELECTOR was an inhabitant of Bay Fortune, and had taken an interest in the affairs of his neighbours, as heIpretends to do now, he would have known what took place at the meeting, and that the subject for which those men were fined and imprisoned was inquired into ; and Mr. Douglas admitted that Iadvised him to be pre- pared with his friends to bid in the cattle to the amount of the debt, and to see that the Sheriff was. not interrupted in his duty;but the proceedings attending the punishment of those men was a master-stroke of ingenuity, which would have done credit to Macbiaval. To state the case more fully, I must commence at an early period, to shew why the ’ap- pouitment of Mr. M‘Callum to the oflicc of Sheriff was. obnoxious to the people of Bay Fortune. Mr. M‘Call-utn took part in the meetings which were held to obtain a settle- ment for the Teuantry, and was elected to represent the County, and carry out the views ofliis constitutents in the Legislature, but lost their confidence. His appointment as Sherifi a ppcarcd to many of them as a reward from Govern- mentfor neglecting the interest ofbis constituents, and under such Impression, it was not likely that he'would meet with the same respect in that office as an, indifferent person ; and it also appears that be was inclined to take adVantage ofa word or look, and construe these into disrespect tmimself—com- mence an angry dispute, to end in disorder, ich an indif- ferent person would pass by unnoticed.

When the Sheriff commenced the sale, the suretics bed to deliver the cattle to him, one by one, and he set them up, and took several‘biddings upon each (to a small amount), and ordered the cattle to be put into their house at the close of the sale. The highest bidder demanded the cattle. The Shorifl'said they were not sold, and when the Sheriff re- fused to deliver them to the highest bidder, Mr. Douglas, believing he had complied with the Law, locked up the cattle, aiid refused to give them up to the Sheriff. This brought on an angry dispute ;some Ofthe people had thrown snow-balls at one Ofthe Sheriff’s attendants, for riding his horse through the crowd, and some one hit the Sheriff with a hard snow-ball Or piece ofdung, and be, in return, struck one or two oftbe boys with, his whip-handle, and the Sheriff remained an hour or upwards after the 'sale. The Sheriff made his complaint to Government, and \Varrants were issued against several who had attended the sale. The 'six who were tried and punished gave themselves up when they heard oftlie \Vai‘rants, and gave bail until the March Court, and had the trial put Offuntil the next Court, that there might be another Sheriff; and a prospect ofa fair trial ; but in this they were disappointed. The Sheriff was continu- ed—tbe Sheriff was Complainant—the principal witness— and selected tliejury. The accused had sixteen or eighteen witnesses in their behalf, but they were informed that as the Sherifi'had sworn a riot against all who were present at the ‘sale, any person who came forward as a witness in behalf of the accused would have to stand this trial ; and, of course, the accusod Were found guilty, when they Were lodged in jail, and were told that it was not for any thing they had done that they were confined ; but if they could say that encouraged or advised the riot, they would be set at liberty, and all that would be done to me was to expel me out of the blouse of Assembly. Thus six men, four of them with families depending on them, were incarcerated in Jail fi'om four to ten months,and’three Ofthcm to pay a fine of £20 each, because they could not make a case against me, (0 be expelled the House. Another scheme was tried. AN ELECTOR has told you, that I refused the person who came to ask me to subscribe to assist the prisoners to pay their ‘ finc ; but that person asked me for money as a bribe, and told me that the prisoners could get out ijail by saying that [encouraged the riot, andIrefused, of course, to give him any thing; and as fewcan know of this circumstance, l have no doubt that this person was sent by AN ELECTOR. lie publishes to the Electors that I refused to give this person any thing, toiiiduce you to believe that my -endeavours to obtain asettlement for the Tenanti‘y have merely been to make money for myself; but if'l had given that person any thing, it would have been taken as a proofof my guilt, and then AN ELECTOR would have me expelled the House of Assembly.

AN ELECTOR is well aware, that poor people, who can earn but little, and must live upon little, think a great deal of the money he tells you 1 have received during nine years ; and he harps upon this string, as he knows tbatI would not publish my Accounts on being challengedby a writer who will not sign his name to Jiis writings; but‘ ifhe desires my Accounts, he shall have them if he WillI discoverhimseli', and he may, if he chooses, publish them for your informa- tion.

AN ELECTOR has told you that I am preparing to leave the Colony—therefore he knows [I can have no IDtelest in giving you a bad advice now. I tell you that you have n Governor who can speak and act for himself—Who Will not become the head ofa fiiction to any party—and can do his duty without a Subaltem to tutor him—and as soon as he can obtain good information, I have no doubt he Will repre- sent the state of the inhabitants in its true light.

To 'riiir. EDITOR. is m COLONIAL HERALD.

SlIR i—lt is to be bopeéthat the discussion ofour grievann ces, in coniieXion with the management 50f domestic ser- vants, both in the Mecgirnics’ lustitute‘éniid through your columns, will not hefs ered to be. thr'bwn away on this COm'Illule-I Many queltioiis Ofless importance to our do- mestichaud individual comfort have commanded "grave cou- s1deration from parties liss interested in the results than are. we, as householders, inithe suggestions of AN EMIGRANT, in your last paper, and Ofthe Rev. Mr. Waddell, in his recent notorious Lecture befoh- the Mechanics’ Institute. The sentiments ofboth thesepersons concur in tracing much of the acknowledged inconvenience arising out of the present prevalent mode ofman‘gement, to the doors of employers themselves; and none vill deny that there is truth in their Opinion. But, Sir, the ronedy lies not in the power oftwo, three, or a few individuils. To be successful, an effort at reform would require to lie, to a certain extent. at least, ge- neral—and the plan proyosed by AN EMIGRANT is certainly one of very easy adoption, as well as one which could not fail, when adopted, to beattendcd with beneficial results. I have frequently thought that a Houseliolders’ Society, based

haps embracing some additional particulars, would operate as a salutary check upon those persons who exercise so pow- erful an influence over our domestic comfort, and give con- fidence to those employing them, that they are likely to Obtain value for their money when they take a domestic into their employ. If an inipcrtinent or dishonest servant has only tmiiiquire across the street for employment, to be received with eagerness, and engaged with alacrity, what Iiiduccmciit is there either to possess or acquire a character? —-and if no distinction is to be made between applicants for a servant’s place, what protection has the faithful and trusty servant against the designing machinations ‘of treacherous and wily competitors for place and employment?

Allow me to propose, lIr. Herald, that you prepare two or three papers, with an appropriate beading, L0 be deposited in some Ofthe public places of'resort in this Town—say the Printing Offices, Post Ofiice, Mr. Desbrisay’s Druggist Shop, and I wish 1 could add, the Reading Room—for signature, by such persons as are desirous to aid in this important re- form ; and if it afterwards appear desirable that a meeting be held, to make any more detailed arrangements, it can easily be done by concert among the subscribers, who will, of' course, be known to each other through the medium Ofthe subscription lists. Perhaps you may think it is re- quiring too much to give you the trouble of preparing the papers in question ; but every body knows that printers have a great deal to do with every thing in which the interests of the public are concerned, and it generally happens that they who are willing to work get plenty of labour provided to their hands.
