| Royal allowange, Pyoam the position which I

have ocgupied in the Legislature, I trust it will

not be deemed out of place tor we to offer you a

few remarks on the political questions which will | be particularly urged on yyur attention previous |to the election; aud | do this the more readily | because the party in power have, by a recent ad- \dress, placed themselyos so prominently before | you ws plainly to challengy discussion on public | atlaire.

Iy the address referzed to, the members of Go- verguent and their few suppurters express sur- prisp at the unexpected turn yf aflairs from the Coupeil Bill receiving the payal assent. I bave no doubt they are surprised, for I believe they never expected the Hill to pass — uever desired that it should, since they hare heen able to cram the Coyneil with creatures of their own; and they make no secret of their extreme displeasure at the Colonial Minister in giving eflect to the Bill ata time when they hoped to hold another Ses- sion for the purpose of pursuing further the game of deception by which they have so long trifled with yeur feelings aud interests, You are also informed by the Government, in their address, that the Proprietors object ta be bound by the Award, and that the Legislature wae called tor the purpose of passing an addryss to the Queen im answer to their objections, aud they state, that, “ wolesss the Award be authoritatively confirmed

the sulemn compact entered into between the Imperial Goverument, the Proprietors, and the people ot this Colony, and that the pledge of the Imperia] Government bas beep broken.” And they “ appeal to you to decide whether you require the confirmation ef the Award or not.”

As to the statement that the Crown has violated jts pledge, aud thereby brought dishonour upoo iteelf— sud which statement is put forth mn such an arttul manner as to make it appear that it emanates from you, and not from the advisers of the Lieut. Gevernor—I am very much surprised that His Excellency would sanction, as he seems to have done, such a groxs and untruthful reflee- tion on the Crown by his advisers, who are styled in thiv Colony “ Her Majesty's Government.”

If there has been any breaking of pledges in regard to the Award, ne party merits the charge «© mych as the Government of this Island. The Royal Commissioners recommended, above all other megsures, a general purchase of proprietary estates, and advised the linperial Government to guarantee 3 loan for the purpose,—they took the cost pf the Worrel and Selkirk estates, at an average of two shillings and six peuce sterling an acre, apd makiug that cost the basis of a caleula- tion, they coucluded that £ 100,000 sterling would be found sufficient for the purchase of all the large estates that could be brought inte the mar- ket. The Commissioners expatiated at much length, and in very earnest terms, on the advan- tages to accrue from this mode of settlement. ‘They eXpressed their “conviction that the pur- chase of the estates by the negotiation of a Loan present advantages so manifest that they eaunot too strongly recommend its adoption, in preference to all other plans of settlement of these unhappy disputes.” The Government and their supporters, however, refused to accept this part of the Award; aud the Leader of the Government in

V. That the arrears of quit rent haye been already remitted by the Crown up to 1833, and since then the land tax has been imposed in

|

lieu of quit rent.

Such is the Award; and if the question is asked, how could the arbitrators, ax cquecieytious men, make such gn award to ruin the tenantry? The Commissioners bad to go by Col. Gray's Resolutions, as they were held to be the expressed wishes of the people. ‘The people gave up their rights ta the proprietors at the last election. [ut the Duke of Newoastle saved the tenaatry from the tender mereios of their fricnds chosen to represent them.

Bui as the Duke signified to the Commissioners that they were not tu escheat the land, nor say anything to give the tenantry unreasonable ex pec- tations, this has lod several to believe that the Duke has no intention to do anything more for the settlement of the tenantry; but I am of a dit- ferent opinion, for the following reasons;

The Duke of Neweastle would not have taken the pains to eave the tenantry from tie rumeus Award unlews he inteuded to place them in a better position.

When the Duke forbade an escheat, it was evi- dently intended to compensate the proprietors for their land. £100,000 sterling was voted by Par- liament te enable the Government to settle this island, and the Ministers have that sum at their disposal to compensate the proprietors, and if that is not done the people may demand an escheat.

To advise the Commissioners to say nothing which might give the teuantry unreasouable ex- | pectations was necessary. ‘To have said anything ‘to create hopes or fears before matters were pre- pared for a settlement would ailect those who intended to buy or sell land, and it is better to let such matters go on as usual until a change take place.

Although the Commissioners could not make a satisfactory Award, they made an honest aud manly appeal to the British Government, which I think will be acted upon.

But there is another matter or mystery worthy of attention. The Proprietors in England are

opposed te the Award. They appear to be ashamed of it, while the proprictors in the Island, ‘or the most of them, tenaciously adhere to it. | There can be no doubt that proprietors who have a fair claim to the land will receive compensation for their claims ; but there are a number of squat- ter proprietors whose claim to compensation is rather doubtful, and the object of holding on by | the Award is to gain a little for squatters whe had no title before.

When I look at the list of names in faver of the Award, it shows good generalship somewhere. | When any person or party propose a measure to benefit a country, they generally claim the honer of it for themselves; but when a person or party prepese & measure for their own benefit and to the injury of a eountry, they are ashamed to own it alone, and therefore make a party to share the blame and keep them in countenance.

WM. COOPER. Sailor's Hope, 8th Dee., 1362. ——» 60. To THe Eprror or THE EXAMINER.

I see iv the Islander, of the 2°th instant, a

Island, and sigued “ Sentinel,” upon whieh, with your permission, [ will make a few remarks. Sentinel considers it “ almost his duty" to inform the Tenantry that the leaders of the Opposition have prevailed upon the six Liberal meubers to desert the Tores, and to bother their heads ne further about the Award. 1 think it was hardly

,000, which is, after all, the trump

party just now. He states that ts of representing the apinions

] uever saw any

alluelan to t ecard af the T the ‘ Examiner of 35,000 of the! inhabitahts. such boast in the ‘ Examiner.’ The truth is that the ‘ Examiner’ represents the opinions of al) who agree with it in apinion, whether that number be 3000 or 35,000. It would be rathey startling, uf by some odd chance, it were revealed to the peo- ple of thix Island how many of the members of the Government agree to the letter with the ‘ Ex- aminer’ in their opinjon af the Award, and in their hopes, fears and expectations of its resuseita- tion. It would be funny and edifying too, to know how many, from the very first, were well convineed that the whole sehemoe would ead in smoke; and who with that conviction with regard to its fate, with great apparent disinterestedness and zeal went through the form of giving it the force of law. It is impossible to suppose that the proprietors aud the creatures of the proprietors ov this Island would differ in opinion with the proprietors on the other side of the Atlantic. Their interests are identical. There is not the least doubt, loud as they may talk, and indignant as they may appear, but they are seeretly rejoleed at the turn matters have taken, ‘The great mis- take of the people has been that they have depend- ed on proprietors, their agents and legal advisers to settle the Land Question in a manner at all favourable to the tenantry. Experience might have told the people that the thing was impossible —that, at all risks, they would remain true to themselves and to their class. Their policy has ever been, and willever be, to get as much as pos- sible from the tenantry, and to give as little aw possible in return.

And so Sentinel has the hardihood to assert that the Liberals are in league with the proprietors. ‘This is the old assertion of Duncan McLean re- vived. on the stupidity and ignorance of their readers. The very best tess of the politieal principles of any

hustings. Now, if the proprietors really thought that the Liberals were their friends they would have left no stone unturned to have seeured the return of a majority of Liberals to the present House of Assembly. But what was the fact? The proprietors snd their agents were untiring in their efforts to procure the defeat of the then ma- jority. cannot be very far off, the Yeos, the Palmers, the Havilands and DeBloises desert their petted ene- mies, the Tories, and join their extremely ill-treat- ed friends, the Liberals, then may the tenantry look en the Liberal party with distrust, and make Sentinel their oracle, if, as is not at all improbable,

‘The alleged opposition of the French Govern- ment te the election of Vrinee Alfred, if if ever existed, has now entirely disappeared. he Kyn- peror, it is said, considers that the Greeks cannot do better than elect an English Prince. ;

The London Morning Past, meanwhile, quietly and cautiously advocates the eleetion of Prince Al- fred to the throne ofGreece. ‘The Ministerial journal eave that the right of Greece to elect her owu Se- vereign has been generally admitted in Murepe, and that the British Government has not sought to inflyenge the election in the shgbtest degree. Our contemporary admits that the desire of Greeee to annex the fonian islands is a natural one, and holds out the hope that if Prinee Alfred be che- seu, the British Government may aceede to that

esire.

La France says:—* We have reason to believe that Russia seriously objects to the candidature of Prince Alfred. Ut is asserted that the Russian Government will shortly address a communication te the English Cabinet to this effect.”

The Vienna Botschafter, which is known to be in direct communication with the Austriau bo- reign Office, says that there is about te be a general outbreak in the kingdom of Poland. the Graud Duke Constautine strongly urges his brother to recall him without delay, but the Emperor, for some unknown reason, declines to do so, Many persons of importance have already quitted War- saw, and many others are about to follow their #xiunple. te the 17th instant, tell a somewhat ditierent tale. They show that Poland is still ruled with a rod of iron, and that the gross and provoking iniquities whieh have been so long perpetrated there by the police are still continved in many parts of the country. ‘To add to the terror of the people, the reefuiting for the army is about to couumence, and the preparations for it are being made in the most brutal fashion. The Warsaw correspondent of the Daily News says that the Government is doing all in its power to provoke an open outbreak ; that, being at present ina position te crush any usurrectional movement, it wishes fur sueh an event as that would place it in certain quarters in the advantageous position of the attacked, and to some degree justify the pang inflicted upon

Poland, JAPAN.

An affair has happened in Japan which eannot fail to preduce fresh complications in the East. An English merchaut has been murdered, and two other Englishiwen seriously wounded under eir- cumstances Which demand the prompt intertercuce of the Government. An English lady, alse, had her hat cut through in a manner which proves that murder was intended. These are lamentable events, but worse remains behind, for the repre- sentative of the British Government, on the spot, Colonel Neale, is declared to have behaved, when the tacts were presented to him, in a wanaer an- worthy of the position which he held. This eut- rage must be punished, and we have uot heard the last of it. Assuming the facts to be as stated, Colonel Ne ale’s firmness has been seriously con- promised, and the majesty of England grossly in- sulted.

argument from beginning to end, interlarded with

clergymen, who may be presumed to have received some education, should consider it worthy of being printed for circulation in any civilized country ; or that any considerable number of people can be found so utterly ignorant as to be deceived by the trash. We have marked three or four paxsages for popraduction as samples of the whole thing. Atter describing what he calls “ the character and aims of the Roman Antichrist,” the writer seems charged with excessive bitterness of soul at the coutom plation of the fact, that the “ extraordinary organization” of the Catholie Church enables her to withstand “the combined assaults of Protest- antism,” imeaning by that phrase, no doubt, the assaults of such puny and contemptible antage-

nists as George Sutherland, He then says :—

“ Her boldness and shameleasness are equally re- markable. She insoleatly demands, on the soil of Britain, what she indignantly refuses to the sons of Britain on soil peealiarly her own. The British Empire is now the grand object of attack. row the thronging centre in England to the lovely wilds of Canada or the sheep walks of Australia, —the shaded glens of New Zealand or the bleak and rugged cliffs of Newfoundland, this powertul organization is insidiously and oeaselexsly at work, —not barely claiming a resting-place in the land, or the unrestraiued exercise of its religious cere- monies, but proudly grasping at controlling power, and impertinently thrusting its scarlet-gowned chiefs into the society and status of the governing powers, ‘The executive Cabinets of Britain and her Colonies being subject tothe popular vate, any denomination, numerically strong, possessing the elective franchise, must exercise a stroug, if not a regulating influence in these Cabinets. ‘This privilege is the main lever of the Romish Church in the British Empire. Where her population approach a numerical equality with Protestants, as in Canada, Newfoundland, and this Island, she assuines an independent position, and boldly chains to hold the reins through the hands of the nominees of her gowned officials; but where she is but one among mauy, as ik Britain, Australia, or Nova | Scotia, she takes an isolated post, offers her sup-

port to the highest bidder, sca any vame that | will further her own selfish ends, and puts to the severest strain the integrity of all politicians.”

The last sentence of the foregoing extract re- minds the writer that Liberal Protestants are paintul thorns in the sides of such bigots as him- self, and he instantly draws a gloomy picture of the evils to Protestantism whieh result from an alliance between Catholics and “ politicians of * whose “integrity” are put to the |“ severest strain.” ‘The tullowing extract is at once as remarkable a specimen of correct and elegant writing, truthfulness, probability and bosh, as it is possibie to find im the whole range of Orange literature :—

Letore Mr. George Sutherland and his collea- gues in bigotry cawe here ta sow the seeds of religious strife, a more cordial and generous feel- ing could not subsist than was known to charac- terse the mtercourse between Protestants of all denoninations gad their Catholic neighbours. They trafiicked with each other — they went to fairs, frolics, feasts and funerals together — they evurted and intermarried, —the “ Papist” girl never objecting to her “heretic” sweethoart— provided he was loving and loveable—even if he positively stipulated never te go to mass—and the “heretic,” in his turn, leaving her te follow the bent of her ewn sweet will in all matters of reli- gious faith Happy fer them there was vo cant- ing George Sutherland to say that the poor girl was the follower of Antichrist and the heiress of hell! For move than fifty years before Catholic Emancipation, the almimistration of all publie affairs in this Island was in the hands of Protes- tauts,—Catholies Knew their coudition, and sub- mitted to it patiently,—no reviling, ne murmuring froin them,—Protestants understood their powers and privileges, but exercised them with Christian forbearauce and magnanimity.

tenantry, made by the Government, I may refer you te their conduct iv refusing te pass a hort Bill to give rolief to the tenantry from the payment of back rent until such time 9s the Award should take effeet. You are well aware that the Com- missioners recommended the landlords not, to exact the back rents until the Award should be made known, but recommended the tenants, at the same time, to pay the then aceruing year's reut. I believe the latter recommendation wae generally cymplied with, apd the object of the Bill I refey to was to make the other recommen- dation binding on the proprietors. But the Go- vernment refused to evtertain the proposition, even in the simple furm of a resylution; and aect- ing a8 they did, on that gecasjon, they clearly proved that they had no desire to relieve the ten- antry from any portion of their burdens. I feel confident that you. Geutlemen Electors, will not suffer yourselves to he deceived by the silly pretence of the Governnegt party, that they are opposed to the Land Proprietors as a body, aud entirely favourable to the interests of the tenautry. Three members of the Executive Council are Proprivtors theynselyps, and every Proprietor and Agent ia the Legislature has here- tofore supported them. At the last elections, there was not a Land Agent or Proprietor in the couniry that opposed them ; ard you may depend upon it, that at the fortheoming election you will soo the hustings surrounded by the same party as the strenuous advocates aud supporters of the Igtending to offer you some further remarks, in suother letter, for the present I remain,

know that the tenants had more and stronger ob- jections w the Award than the proprietors had? They objected to the arbitration clause—they were indignant at the concessions made to the proprie- tors. If, three weeks or three months after the Award was made known to the tenantry, the vote of that body was takeu as te its adeption or rejec- tion, they would have rejected it almost unani- mously, And what was the argument that after all induced any portion of the teuantry to tolerate it? Was it not this: That though bad, and in- finitely tow favourable to the proprietors, the terms held out by the Award were the best could possibly hope to get, and if we did not accept those terms the ear of the Colonial Office would ever after be closed against us? And did the Government with all its affected praises of the Award, accept it in its entirety? Did they not reject that part of it which was most highly re- counnended by the Commissioners? How does the matter stand then? The proprietors reject the Award on account of the arbitration clause ; the tenantry, who uufortanately, though the party most interested, had uo direct voice in the matter, would have rejected it on account of its partiality to the proprietors; the Legislature accepted it but in part, treating with contempt its strongest recommendations, and rejecting without scruple that whick the Commissioners themselves emphs- tically declared to be its best and most important feature. The only party who were willing to ac- cept the Award in the spirit, and with a due re- gard to the intentions of the framers of the Award, were the much abused minority. ‘They, and they ouly were willing to aecept it exactly as it came
