Independence.

‘ ‘ }

| | Sir Leovard Tilley, on. being inter- {viewed in New York, on November 9th, }denied that Sir John McDonald would | accept a seat on the Privy Council Judi- i cial Committee, and believed he would jdie in harness. As to annexation and |independence, he said Mr. Geldwin hear eh scheme for a commercial union | with the United States practically means free trade with the United States, to the | exclusion of the Brith market No /Sane person supposes England would }consent to that. Itis true the British | Government have conceded the right to colouial governmetits to make their own tarifis, but the right to make one’s tariff’ and the right to exelude British imports |by unreasonably high duties is another |thing. The Mother Country has also conceded the right to Canada to negotiate a reciprocity treaty. I have no @ut that the Canadian Governmezt would be ready to-morrow to listen to any reasenable suggestion the United States might make in that direction. Honestly I cannot see what there is to gain by any change iu our relations with the mother country. The great majority of our adult population already enjoy nearly all the pracrical advantages to be gaived by universal suffrage. The quali- fication of the franchise is extremely low. There are some who prefer independence or annexation, but you do not see these men with sufficient courage to come to the front and advocate it boldly. We are! happy. prosperous and in the main cou- tented. Our Irish population appear to be satisfied, which may be accounted for partly by the fact that we do not iutro- duce home issues into our political con- tests, Another thing these apnexationist sympathizers seem to forget is that they are willing to derive all the benefit ac- cruing from Iwperial connection, but they are not disposed to concede anything to the mother country, whe guarantee them their present integrity. Whatever our future relations may be with the mother country, I do not see any signs of change at present. orien ieennininees

SYDNEY SMITH ON SOME OF VOL-

TAIRE’S PRODUCTIONS—A LIBERAL CLERGYMAN ON INFIDEL PRODUC- TIONS.

From Memoirs of Rev. Sydney Smith.

(1827.) My father, who, however he might indulge in attacks on what he thought the shortcomings of the Church, never for a moment tolerated anything approachisg to irreligion, even in his most private transactions, received abovt this time a work of irreligious tendency from the house of a considerable pub- lisher in London, who was in the habit of occasionally presenting him with books. Many men might have passed this over as of little importance; but he felt that nothing was unimportant that had reference to such a subject. These feelings were strongly evinced on various occasions, in some of his early letters to Jeflrey, where he not only deprecates the injury to the Edinburgh Review by the admission of irreligious opinions, but declares his determination, if this were not avoided, of separating himself from a work of which he had felt hitherto so justly proud. Oa the occasion just alluded to, my father immediately wrote to the publishers :—

To Messrs.

, Booksellers, --—. Bostow, July 30th, 1827.

GENTLEMEN,—I have received from you within those few months some very polite and liberal presents of new publi- cations; and, though I was sorry you put yourself to any expense on my account, yet I was flattered by this mark of respect and good-will from geutlemen with whom [I am persenally unknown.

I am quite sure, however, that you overlooked the purpose and tendency of a work called——, or that yeu would not have sent it to a clergyman of the Established Church, or iudeed to a clergyman of any Church. I see also advertised at your house « traus- lation of Voltaire’s ‘“ Philosophical Dictionary.” I hope you will have the goodness to excuse me, and not to attrib- ute what I say to an impertinent, but a friendly disposition. Let us pass over, for a momeut, all those much higher con- siderations, and look at this poiut only in a worldly view, as conuected with your interests. Isit wise to give to your house the character of publishers of in- fidel books? The. English people are a very religious people, aud those who are not hate the active dissemination of irreligion. The zealots of irreligion are few and insiguificant, and confived prin- cipally to Londov. You have not a chance of eminence or success in that line; aud I advise you prudently and quietly to back out of it.

I hate the insolence, persecution, and in- tolerance whieh se often pass usder the name of religion, and (as you know) I have fought against them; but I have an un- affected horror of irreligion and impiety ; and every principle of suspicion and fear would be excited in me by a man who pro- fessed himself an infidel.

I write this from respect to you.

It is

‘sere yon are toe wise and too enlighténed ,to take it in evil part.

| I was very much pleased with the *“Twe |Montha in Ireland,” but did not read the

‘poetical part; the prosaic division of the »

iwork is very good. I remaia, gentlemen, yours faithfully, SypNey Sire.

The Incidence of Taxation.

We might well ask who feels the burden of taxation in these days? There is Tauch talk about the Federal taxes during every j national political contest. But what in- dividual can claim that they are to him a,» real and perceptible burden! The country prospers marvellously. Industry is w paid and weil employed. Inviting fields” ave opened to enterprise on every | No branch of business, no form of indus- try is now embarrassed er impeded by the burdens imposed by the Federal:Goverm- ment. And finally, if we bear burdens in order to pay debt, we do so gladly in order to escape future burdens, The interest is a burden which the people are impatient to diminish. in these years of prosperity, be- esuse they know that it will then be felt the less in any future time of adversity,” — New York Tribune, Nov. 3rd.

What the Tribune says of the United States we have often said of Canada, and the observations are equally trae in both sases. The weight of the taxation of a country is relative to its wealth, its increase in population, its enlargement .in revenue. It is in Canada as in the United States. The public wealth has swollen ; the popu- lation has increased ; the revenue has been greatiy enlarged; and in consequence of the general prosperity, no man feels that he is bearing @ heavier share than usual of the necessary burthens of citizenship. If there is « larger surplus in our treasury, it is not a matter ef annoyance to a people whe feel that they have been “‘robbed,” but a matter of rejoicing to a people who feel that im e time of prosperity they are accumulating means to lighten their burthens, and ensure them a lighter degree of taxation in the time te come, Accumulation ia a people's virtue in prosperity, and their reward in adversity.—T'orento Mail,

— «- aa +e &- ai Newfoundland hes been cursed with an absentee lJandlordism for a long time. Nearly two-thirds of St. John’s, the capital, is owned by non-residents, principally Scotch, who have made their ‘‘ pile” by the seal and other fisheries, have retired to enjey their olium dignitate in the suburbs of Edinburgh or Glasgow. Relay after relay of business men have thus come out to Newfoundland bent on making a fortune during their few years of exile. One re- sult is that these have gradually acquired the greater part of the city which they have made their headquarters during their terms of exile. When the great fire of 1846 took place the non-resident proprietors refused to sell, but granted leases of land for ferty years. These will expire in a few years, and then the non-resideats will find them- selves the owners of fine substantial pro- perties, unless in the meanwhile legisla- tive action is taken to compel sales at fair valuations. The people have for years looked forward to the expiry of these leases with great anxiety.

Mr. Robert Steel, of Philadelphia, offers a brace of challenges. He will match his 8-year-old mare Buzz Medium, to go in harness, against any trotter in the eountry, barring Maud S. and St. Julien, to wagon, for $2,500 a side, the trot to take place July 4th 1882, in New York or Philadel- phia. He will also match a 2-year-old filly, by Nil Desperandum, dam Susie by Happy Medium, against any other Nil Desperan- dum colt or filly, same age, dam 2 Happy Medium mare, for $250 or $500 a side, the trot to take place next season.

An interesting case was begun in the fu- preme Court, Toronte, on W eonesday. Frel- erick W. Simmonds sues Vr. Caweron for $5,080 damages, alleging that the treatment 4 child of his reecived from the doctor was wrong, and consequently the child died,
