CANADA. Mouriinii., July 12.

The disruption of the political alliance between the l.rifontiiinites and Baldwinites. seems an implied consequence of the retirement of the respective leaders; and whatever coniliination may ensue to serve the exigs of the riiotnent—it cannot be permanent or influential —u ‘9flOl’ll{Cl0Cl.ltllI must decide the fate of niniiy aspirants. Mr. Hinks has risen to importance by the retirement of his colleagues. and though branded, by the tory press, two years since, as a acoundrel of the deepest die, he has contrived to become popular with his riaeisnt antagonists. and it is not beyond the range of pro- babilities, that the M'l\ltibs, Slasrwoods, and Boultons, and other of his bittereat foes, may be quite ready and willing to hold oflice tinder him. We may nioralize as we like, upon the fatuitv of man- kind and the facility with which the deliver themselves up to u delusion; but it's not the less a fact, t at as long as a financier keeps the ball rullin , the masses will call him I! clever fellow. Mr. Hinka plumes lsiniss fupon his ability as a financier-; and though the people ofC.inod»i have a traditional horror ofs blic debt, yet he has lsnt an effective h.itid to swell the debt this Province to twenty millions ofiloll .rs, and at this time ofvvriting lie is the author of a scheme. or rather, he advocates a scheme. for hsrsswing thirty mil- Ilons additional.

-1 To J. D. IIAIIARD, Esq.

Sin;

\Vhcn in any country a constitution has been determined upon, the lirst and, in many respects, most important duty that devoli-rs upon those entrusted with the administration of the govoriinicnt is to provide a revenue adequate to its necessities. I ' -ibsoluti-ly impos- sililc, tiizit u people can make any progress in civilization-—by which I mean the proper and porninno.-nt provision for the due niltiiirii~xtrn- tion of justice; the education of the people; the facilitating the inter- course between different parts of the country by roads, bridges, canals; the estiiblisliment of post offices. light-houses, &e.—untiI it has been provided with the means of originating and austiiming these objects, so essential to its well-being and prosperity. 'l‘be most equitable, its well as the most obvious mode is, that every iiiitii

should contribute according to his ability : and this is in fact the end ivhicli all legislators profess to huve_ in view, when the ucstion of "ways and means" is entered upon. Ilnt how tltis is to accom. plished, is a point upon which all have more or less differed. As liiod—tiiking the word ‘land’ in the most comprehensive sense—li.-ia ever been held to be the source of all riclies, and the possessors thereof justly considered to be in possession of that ivenlllt tvhicli properly iiiployed is creative of every thing that man needs for subsistence, comfort, or luxury : a direct tax upon hind would seem not only to be the most just, but the readiest way of supplying the wants of the State. In newly discovered countries, however, the reverse is the fact. l.niid is, to it certain degree, wortliless, like every thing clse, of which there is in the market a supply greater than the demand, its value is at the lowest point of the scale, nor is it until the labor of man shall have rendered it capable of yielding an annual profit, that it increases in value, and even then that in- crease must be subject to many contingencies. Hence it is that land has not in America been resorted to as a permanent source of revenue, until after considerable lapses of time, frotn the institution of ilie respective governments; u propert tax, under one denomina- tion or another, in which cultivated Inn has always been included, has stibsistod almost from the coinmenceuient of each. The abso- lute necessity for roads and bridges in it new couutr compels the inhabitants at first to contribute their labor personalfy to their for- mation; but as few can be brought to work willingly for the public good, iiluiost one of the first law-s_ has been to regulate the propor. tion of labor that each should contribute, and compel the performance or exact ii line, b way of coiiipenaiition. In this case, as in many others, that wbic originated in necessity, has been continued from choirs, without much consider-tion as to whether the system was eligible or the reverse. 'l‘liis is one of the cases in which the sys- tem pursued in other colonies liuu been adopted in Prince Edward Island, without those modifications which its peculiar circumstances demanded. That roads and bridges could not have been ninde or constructed wiiliout the aid of what we all now understand by the term "Statute Labor,” is a fact which no one will presume to gainsny; but that it never occurred to‘the itiinds of the legislators, that inilividuzil proprietors were reaping the greatest proportion of the bcnelit of the labor of the people, until u coiisidteralile period after the calling of the Rcpresetitntivcs ofthe puople,tiiuitt excite no little surprise, and thiit surprise will be .€IcCl)I.IIpflnlf9d with some indignation, that when the fact was admitted it should have been productive of so iiicflicii-iit a provision ngiiinst so manifest iiri _iiijus- lice; nay, that it should only _li:ive had the cfli-ct of legalizing it. The preamble to the Proviticial Statute, 30th Gen. 3, cup. 7, re- cites "Flint many of the Lots or 'l'_owiisliips of Land in this Island ‘ are owned by persons not residing or llVlllg llIt'I't:lll, mid have ‘greatly’ been increased in value by the lligliwtiys, Roads, and ' liridgcs which have iit dilfcrcnt times been erected and made at ‘ the expense and b the hibor of His Majesty's subjects, inhabitants
