To THE EDITOR on THE COLONIAL IIERALD.

Sm ;——Now “comesthe tug of war.” The candid and plain investigation oflust winter’s legislation, which [now will, doubtless, arouse the awful ire of those immaculate senators. But, Sir, I am ready for their fiercest onset ; and I trust to be able, amidst the peltings of they can pour upon me, to say with undimiuisbed cent-age, “Lay on, McDufl'.”

From my foregoing letters, I think it will have appeared, that the aspect of the proceedings ofour authorities on the land grievances of the has verrmater'ially' changed, during the last ten )'eai1s"‘\§lithin that period, a party has been gradually growing up amongst its, in hostility to the claims ofthe people, and composed ofthose who once ad- vocated those claims. A gift has bliniléd their eyes. This party has, by gradual increase, been made at length to em~ brace nearly all the oflicials, aristocrats, and monopolists of the country. Hitherto, however, it has always been in a despicable minority in the House of Assembly; but in the Government, and amongst the place-hunters and inorcen- aries of the Island, it has been rapidly accumulating num- bers and assurance; and in the Legislative Council, it has possessed such a preponderance as to negative every mea- sure adopted by the Representatives to relieve the country.

During the last General Election, by a system ofui'tifices and intimidations, operating on the feelings ofreligious bias, national predelictions, local prejudices, and pecuniary in- terest of the inhabitants, for which the liberal party, by n cerisurable security, arising from an extravagant confidence in their own strength, were altogether iinprepnrerl,this party, hitherto insignificant in the House, obtained a partial ti'i- urnph in many Districts ofthe country, and secured a small majority in the House—the two parties standing, at present, about 14 to 10. It was to be expected that a victory obtain- ed as this one was, in securing which official patronage, merchants’ ledgers, proprietors’ rent-rolls, and every species ofdeceptious scheming, exercised so great an influence, was not sought for any good purpose, and was not likely to he used with moderation or discretion. A party hitherto in aheyancc, and of so recent existence—so mercenary and ex- clusive in its spirit and principles, and sheltered under the wing of prostituted authority, in the delirious excitement of recent exaltation, was to‘ be expected to run into the ex- tremes of meanness and Violence against those of opposite sentiments, whose efforts they now lliltl the power ofeffec— trially thwarting. The bitterness and united obstiuacy of the petty fragment which represented that party in the pre— vious Ilousc, was but lcebly indicative of the gratification which they would find iii possessing the power to crush every attempt to redress the wrongs of the inhabitants and to trample their supplications under foot. Those who uti- derstoorl the spirit and governing motives oftbis faction, pre- dicted with certainty the doings ofthe approaching Session. And they were not mistaken. That Session exhibited scenes of wanton and cowardly assault on the characters. theliogs and rights ofthe liberal party, both in doors and otit, of the riiost intolerable character. Every scurrilous aiirl reproach- tlil epithet was applied to them, and every effort made to disgrace their names, and to discredit their representations and statements.

The individuals, though, slightly changed in identity, are the satire in principles and interest. And the arbitrary character oftlie administration continual unmodified. There were, moreover, during the last. year, instances of peculiar and aggravated despotism and baugltti- uéss in the conduct .of our officials, which-5’ , ' ' b r' l independent interference and boldlgemo‘natranéé‘of the Legislature necessary in a more than ordinary degree.

Even neutrality and silence in the guardians of the peo- ple’s rights, at such a time, are criminal. For the popular pOWcr of our constitution to stand aside, when its rulers are riding roughshod over the people’s rights and feelings, and permit them to pass on unrebuked, betrays either the most contemptible pusillanimity, or the most corrupt sor- vility. But we have to record worse than tliis,——worse than silent neutrality. They spoke, but it was to commend, ——they noted, but it was to encourage, these proceedings.

The nspersioris which His Excellency had cast on the majority of the previous [louse Were referred to. The In- ccr‘atod feelings of those who had borne this unmerited obloquy found expression. And how were they responded 0? Were theyjustified by those who knew their innocence? No; but their traducer was. To neutralize the petitions, and disprove the statements of that House, he had repre- sented lands as selling at enormorts prices in this Colony. Here, it was true, he had blundercd. And how could he do otherwise? lie had been but five months in the Island, and knew little ofits real condition. But then his ig— norance was an excuse for him! Because he had seen lands selling high in the neighbourhood of Charlottetown,‘ and iiif'erredll) that they were equally valuable in all parts of the Island. Admirablc lover of facts, where was your Council? They could have instructed you better, had you condescend- erl to ask their information. But perhaps you had begun then to feel your capacity to govern without their assistance, and they contentedly to permit you to jeopardize your‘char. acter and administration, it they and fishes. When a member ofthe aggrieved party moved for leave to examine evidence to support theResolutionsof the previous Session, which had been sent borne, it was refused, and the reasons openly alleged were, that “itsd sign was'to verify those resolutions; and to distirovfi"His Excellericy’s statements !’ True, it was pretended by a celebrated individual, that this was done out of prudence, “because,” said be, “it would be bad policy to contradict.

The rucrestnllusion to the real grievances of the cottntry ——thc ibrfeitui‘e of the grants—proprietary harshness and cupidity—tbe evils of our land system, or the countenance given by Government to that system—called forth the bit- terest censure and the i'udest cOiiturnely. The very appear- ance of Cooper, Rae, M‘Lean or Macintosh on the floor of the House, was the occasion for the discharge against them of the lowest ribaldry, mockery, taunting and denunciation. They and their coadjutors were denominated rebels, repub- licans, lyncliers, revolutionists, insignificant agitators, inter- ested ileceivers, corrupt and insatiable demagogties, ambiti~ ous popularity-hunters, persons of weak intellect and delec- tive judgment, and, in short, every thing which an extensrve and imtimate acquaintance with cookroom slang and Cockney vulgarity could suggest. Their arguments and precedents in favour of the rights of their constituents were anSWered with abuse and ridicule; and their attempts to present a petition praying for redress was the signal for an attack. When they proposed a remedy for the evils which afliict the Colony, their measures were described as “wild vagaries, extreme, violent, rinlawliil proceedings, disgraceful utteirrpts at legislation, stillborn abortions of weak iritellects, air-bub- bles, useless schemes,” SIC. They were charged with delu- ding the simple tennutry, from interested motives, instructing them to withhold their rents, endeavouring to injure them in order to keep them discontented, teaching them sedrnou and disloyalty, making a trade of agitation to live by, acting a double part, and a thousand other villainous acts. _
