THE BIBLE QUESTION,

—_——

bly on Friday last, on the petitions of several parties, praying | of parties would take place. But we are bound to say that : : ° ‘ } + . . : the authoritative use of tse Bible in the Central Academy and | the debate on Friday night was premature, was ill-advised,

}

Normal School. Our readers will perepive that the ground

occupied by the opponents of the Government on this question

is much narrower than the platform they occupied last year. : have been, previously secured.

! Then their cry was that the Government and Legislature must i

authorize the use of the Bible as class-book in all the publie| day) was set apart for discussing the petitions praying for the schvols of the Island. Well, they found, to their great grief, | compulsory introduction of the Bible into the Central Academy that there was no prohibition to its use in those schools; and@| #24 Normal School, and a call of the House—which impera-

their cause of complaint, of course, fell to the ground. But) as those of tie editorial corps attached to the Protector, who, | callous to shame, still remained at their dirty post, must | parade something calculated to introduce discord and ran- | courous fevling into the community, they got up petitions to | the Legisliture this Session, similar in spirit and real object to those previously consigned to the Balaam basket wherein they were last Session deposited with but little coremony. They will pardon us, we hope, if we remove from their foster- ing care one of the trim bantlings which remain to them from the numerous family of grievances which they presented for public sympathy last year. At that time their clamour for the Bible was made oa behalf of all the public schools. It was discovered, however, that they had the Bible. The Nor- mal School, say they, requires the Biblo. It has it. Verily the reverend fomentors of discord resemble the worthy, who, in his anxious search for his spectacles, had his attention di- rected to the fact that they were on his nose! The Bible is used in the Normal Academy at certain periods deemed most convenient by the master of that institution: so that the only grievance left to the unhappy agitators is the case of the Cen- tral Academy. The law creating and regulating that Academy states that no religious test shall be introduced ; and we have good reason to believe that the present Chief Justice and his predecessor gave it as their opinions, that the use of the Bible might be considered such. In fact, if we suppose the ease of a pupil of the Jewish persuasion attending the Academy, the reading of the New Testament during sehool hours would be a legitima’e ground of complaint, as being offensive to his faith and feelings. The late head master, Mr. Cundall, an able teacher and staunch Protestant, never, as far as we can under- stand, sousht to disturb the wise provision of the law, during the period of his seperintendence ; and religious men of all ereeds fre« y sent theirchildren to the Academy, without seek- ing to have any alteration introduced into the system, until the rabid gang of the Protector sounded the note of discord. These facts are sufficient to satisfy any unprejudiced mind that it is not love of the Bible, but political power, which a few red hot zealots are seeking to obtain for the old Tory party, that has induced this agitation, which will assuredly die out a3 soon as the approaching general election shall have taken place. Mcanwhile, and it may be for long after, the respon- sibility of she severance of social ties, of the acrimonious feel- ings to which it bas given rise, will rest upon the shoulders of those who style themselves pre-eminently messengers of peace aud heralds of charity. We remember reading, during the agitation of the Reform Bill in Scotland, of a worthy old Scot, who, on perusing his weekly newspaper, which presented a rather exaggerated picture of the national grievances, exclaim- ed to a brother politician: ‘* Ah, Sandy, I never thocht we were so miserable, till this blessed Aberdeen Advertizer told me.’’ So with the victims of the parsons’ delusion — they never knew that they were prohibited the use of the Bible till that blesse) Protector informed them of the melancholy fact. When tlie advocates for the compulsory use of the Bible in the schools mouth their fustian about the blessings of a reli- gious education, we wonder if their ardent imaginations ever conceived the idea of the newly-breeched urchin, wriggling in unpitied pain beneath the well-applied ferule of the angry schoolmaster, and wondering in his youthful mind what idea the scourging pedagogue had formed of the command, to do unto others as we would that others should do unto us. The amount of education which can be imparted by reading with- out note or comment from any book whatever, to young chil- dren, is so infinitessima!ly small, that it can only be adapted to -the intellectual calibre of the worthies who are exciting this much ado about nothing. We have heard of many instances of the impressions which such uncommented reading of the Scriptures in schools has made upon the tender minds of the scholars. One juvenile, having listened to the parable of the wheat and the tares, pricked up his ears when the master read | that the Evil One came at night and sowed tares, exclaiming : | ** Well, then, 1 wish he’d come and sew my jacket, for it’s full of ¢ears.’’ Another case in illustration of our argument may be found in the story of the lad whose master, in pursuance of the rule requiring the use uf the Bible in the school, read that chapter in Genesis, wherein is mentioned the number of Nahor’s children. When the dominie came to the verse which Bays that “ These eight did Milecah bear unto Nahor,’’ the benefit the pupil derived from this portion of his ‘ religious education” was the puzzling impression that some how or other, ‘‘ these eight did milk a bear!’’ We repeat those anec- dotes not in any irreverent spirit towards the source from which they originate, but simply as illustrations, ludicrous it is true, but not impossible or improbable, of what may and doubtless will be the result of the religious education clamoured for by the worthy, pious, and Bible-loving gentlemen who formed a portion of the minority on Friday last.

We shall explain. The day previous to the debate (Thurs-

tively requires all members to be in their place—wag made for that pufpose. Messrs. Paliner and Douse disobeyed the eall; but the former, entering the House some considerable time after the call had been answered by the other members, took, and wanted to keep, his seat in defiance of a rule of the House. In this proceeding even éhe minority would not coun- tenance their refractory brother, and he was forced to retire. Searcely half an hour afterwards, another member of the minority rose and moved for a postponement of the debate until the fullowiug day, in courtesy to Messrs. Palmer and Douse, the former having defied, as we have intimated, the authority of the House to exclude him. In this motion the majority—influenced, of course, by the bearing of their leader —acquiesced, without a word of objection ; and the debate stood postponed until Friday. On that day, sickness prevented two of the majority—(the members for the second district of King’s County )—{rom attending to their parliamentary daties. One of these (Mr. Whelan) wrote to the leader of the party, about 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening, informing him that he was then too ill to attend the House—sent with his note the resolutions which he had prepared, in accordance with the views of the Hon. Colonial Secretary, and other members of the majority ; and expressed a hope that the debate would be either postponed or adjourned until another day. The only answer to this note was a verbal message left at his house at nearly 10 o’clock, by the Sergeant-at-Arms, stating that his presence was absclutely requiredin the House. As soon as he was made acquainted with the nature of the message, and ill as he was, he repaired to the House of Assembly, but arrived there just as the division had taken place, and learned that his colleague, (Mr. Dingwell), also drawn from a sick bed, had only preceded him by about half an hour. It is scarcely necessary to say, that if Mr. Whelan had been in the House he would have voted with the majority, and saved the Chair- man in Committee and the Speaker in the House from giving a casting vote. But he thought that he and his colleagae had aright to expect that, when two of their opponents were ex- cused, not for their illness, but their neglect or obstinacy, and the debate postponed in compliment to them— their ina- bility to give due consideration to so momentous a question as that before the House, ought to receive some consideration from the majority.

The Hon. Mr. Wightman, Mr. Munro and Mr. Laird, voted with the minority on this question. The two first named gentlemen have-steadfastly voted with the Government for several years past ; the third has been sometimes against them, and sometimes with them ; although we believe he was re- turned with the implied, if not expressed, understanding, that he would support them always in their general policy. We understand that it was not known how these gentlemen would vote until after the debate had commenced, although there is no doubt they had made up their minds long before. And here is another proof of the want of due understanding and organization in our party. We find no such evidence of want of previous consultation on the part of the minority. They understand each other on every question, trifling and im- portant, because their opinions are individually canvassed. It is all nonsense to say, or believe, that the Bible question de- bate had not a political bearing. Every man in the Opposi-

tion used it—as it has been used for months past by political parsons—as @ handle against the Government, they not caring one farthing about the Bible itself. Had the Administration been forced to resign by an adverse vote upon this question, and their places handed over to the Tories, the latter would not hesitate five minutes to give the Bible the go-by—(as Mr. Attorney General Johnston did the other day in Nova Scotia with respect to the elective Legislative Council Bill for which he had entaned so long)—if they found that public opinion out of doors was not with them, or their majority likely to be weakened by a continaed excess of religious zeal. We do not blame Messrs. Wightman and Munro for the votes they have given against their party and the Government of their choice. We have no doubt they acted in this matter from conscientious motives; the former isa very influential member of the Exe- cutive—deservedly so no doubt—and while he is, his erratic courses, if observed at all, will be viewed with a very indul- genteye. ‘The latter we believe to be a sincere friend of re- ligious toleration, but unfortunately he represents a consti- tuency amidst whom the leaven of religious prejudice rises more conspicuously than it does in any other part of the Colony. We don’t complain of those gentlemen. We only regret that there was not a little foresight or judgment used to ascertain the side on which they intended to vote. Had | this useful information been obtained, precipitancy in bringing | on the debate might have been avoided, and every vote in the

majority made to tell.

The Liberal Party are strong enough, both in and out of the House, to carry every question toa successful issue, which they, as a party, well disciplined and equipped for battle, may deem necessary to bring into the politicalarena. Pluck and energy are, indeed, great qualities in a commanding officer, and coun- cils of war may be tedious; but the latter will not unfre- quently develope elements of strength and resource far more formidable than personal prowess.

THE TESTIMONY OF A PROTESTANT JOURNAL RE- SPECTING THE ‘“* PROTESTANT COMBINATION.”

‘‘From the almanack we learn that there are Forry-rwo. Protestant Clergymen on the Island; and the Protector ac-' knowledges that of these the late meeting only received the | countenance of Nine. This silent rebuke seems to haye been severely felt by the Combination.

‘* So far, the forbearance of the Roman Catholics to retaliate | has been worthy of all praise, and is producing a favourable | effect even amongst the Protestants most hostile to them last year on the Bible Question.”’

IR,—In your issue of the 12th instant, I observe a letter _ Signed ** D. J. Roperrs,’’ wherein he complains of

aving made statements at the annual meeting of the Share- holders of the Bank, injurious to his character, and quotes the adage—** He who steals my purse,”’ &e. ; again—*An honest man’s fair fame is ever dear to him,” _ile accuses me of stating at that meeting that he (Mr. R.) did not expend all the amount received frum the Bank, in his shipping and other business, but had laid by from £7,000 te £8,000 for his own use hereafter, thereby defrauding his creditors of that amount. In answer, I have to inform Mr. Roberts that L made no statement injurious to the character of him or any other person; but asked such questions as I considered, as a Sharehdlder, I was entitled to, viz:— Mr. President, did the Directors examine Mr. Roberts's books before making the compromise ?’’ The answer 1 received was :— ‘* We had a statement out from London.” ** Was it certified by any reliable authority, or merely a statement of their own getting up?’? The answer was:—‘' That the Directors were satisfied with it, and thought the best thing they could do, for all concerned, was to take Mr. Roberts's offer.’ I then ra'd it was reported about town that Mr. Roberts bad not expended that large amount—say upwards of £17,000—this last year; and I believe the report to be correct. Mr. Roberts informs us that he has submitted his books and accounts to the in- spection of Messrs. Haviland, Brecken and Cundall, and they certify to their correctness, and kindly allow him to make use of their names to that effect. May I not ask Mr. Roberts why these books were not examined by the Directors previous to the offer being made and accepted, by the D<‘ectors of the Bank? Mr. Roberts asserts that he offered me the examination of his books; this he must know is not correct: he made me no such proposal; bat in my absence he called at the office and shewed to J. Lea a statement of his account, in which he shewed two sums, say one to Wm. Pope and another to J. Reddin, of about £1,000 each, both of which he said he would pay in full, but for the amount due our Firm he would pay 13s. 4d. to the pound. Is this fair dealing with the creditors of his Estate? Query—What Estate ?

Will Mr. Roberts tell me that he did not obtain money from the Bank for his useless Bills, and purchase frem /private holders good sterling Exchange, paying them a high premiuia ? Did he not get a Bill of £437 10s. sterling, and remit to his friends, giving in return his Bill on Keal & Roberts? For what was this done but to deceive? This would-be famous London Agent concludes by referring to my conversation after dinner, which hearsay statement I do not consider worth con- fuung. J have now been doing a business for sixteen years in this town, and am too well known, both in the commerciai and domestic circle, to be injured by the impudeuce of such an individual. WILLIAM W. LORD.

To rue Epiror or THe Examiner.

ag eer: Lar have been pleased to insert in your last number

an Advertisement from ‘* Daniet J. Ronerts,”’ an adyen- turer who lately emigrated here from the old country, whose conduct since Lis arrival has not, I am sorry to say, bee marked with that degree of courtesy, which he, as a stranger, on his arrival, received from the mercantile community, and who they had a right to expect a return of like civilitics from. Perhaps a more ungrateful feeling never was displayed by a person pretending to the advantages a good education are supposed to confer; and the forwardness under which he has addressed the public, through the press, impugning the mor- ality of my conduct, as well as that of other gentlemen of the lirst standing in trade, is only equalled by his callous and outragtoas conduct towards the unfortunate victims, who the rights of hospitality introduced him to, whose confidence he thereby gained, and which he violated.

‘The words of such a character, Mr. Editor, are scarcely te be relied on; and the notoriety attached to him is so general, that it would have beeg unnecessary to take notice of the communication, were It not that a shadow of semblance 1s | thrown over the production, by the sanction which, he states, the Bank Directors have given him to use their names, as a certificate, of having examined into his business books and papers, expressing their satisfaction at the manner in which the money has beenexpended. That may be true. Mr. Havi- land, Mr. Brecken and Mr. Cundall nre indisputably gentle- men of the first standing in ornamenting the fabric of society ; but the ar appears to be, as managers of the Bank, they have been overreached, and the reputation for sagacity and acuteness which they formerly held, appears to be im- paired. In my opinion it would have been becoming on the part, if not the daty of the Directors, to have answered the questions put by the Shareholders, at the general meeting, rather than to,have r fused to do so, and answered as they have done, by Mr. Roberts, through his communication to the press, because it leaves them open to the-refiection of gentle men, not being Shareholders, and at the same time, conveys indirect reproof to those gentlemen who put legitimate ques- tions at that meeting, thereby putting down the spirit of en- quiry on future occasions, The examination of Mr, Roberts’ books, however satisfactory to the Directors, would have been more so to the Shareholders, and more creditable to Mr. Roberts, had the Bank, in connexion with his otber creditors, appointed a Committee to investigate and report on all his monetary and trading transactions. Bank Direetors, or any gentlemen entrusted to discharge the duties of corporate bodies, who have been overreached, or taken in, or acted un- wisely, are not likely to admit their errors; and the fact of a compromise having been made before the examination of the _state of the Debtor's affuirs had been gone into, goes to prove ‘an incompeteney on their part to discharge the duties they were chosen te fulfil.

Mr. Roberts may, in his estimation, hold a high opinion of his method of transacting business, which he is at perfeos liberty to enjoy ; my ideas of morality are, I allew, widely different from his; but he must remember it takes twenty shillings to pay a pound, and that the public are to judge which of us have acted the most becoming in endeavouring to uphold the standard of morality. Most of his actions are settled in Court, and there is searcely a tribunal under the constitution which he has not tered in ove shape or other. I have never circulated unfounded reports.
