tion in saying that if the latter would condescend to enter into a personal dirputation with the former on any subject, the self-sufficient snd disinterested advocate of the Government would soon be convinced that if vulgarity be the offspring of ignorance and presumption— as we believe it is—and the index of a “low” mental organization, “ Beta’’ would stand no chance with the Seeretary in claiming a right to its possession.

With respect to the alleged **attack’’ upon the Lieut. Governor, we have looked over the short communication re- ferred to, and cannot find that His Excellency is even once designated either by his name or his office. True, Mr. Pope

is referred to as being ‘* Secretary toa gentleman who....

that too high a price was given for the property,—and, secondly, that it should not have been bought without an enquiry into the original grants. In short, there was no means of satisfying them. ‘They opposed the Bill because they professed to think it would not be ‘ self-sustaining.” Mr. Vope’s friends were opposed to it, because too high a price was given for the Worrell Estate, of which Mr. Pope was the principal vendor. They opposed it because it was not rendered impracticable by an escheat enquiry, after having opposed escheat, apart from the Purchase Bil!, during all their previous political career.

It is extremely ludicrous to hear Mr. Pope complain of the late Government giving too high a price for the Worrell Estate. He, of all men, ought to be ashamed to write a line ‘on this subject. The property might, indeed, have been

step on their part is the more gratifying from the faet that no means have been used to bring it about........ The con- nection is entirely voluntary on the part of the colonists.’ That the pressure of the '* financial considerations” was rather more severe than convincing, may fairly be inferred from the fact that only about two-thirds of the colony were roped in— the other third going over to the Baptists ; and also from the other significant fact that they join the Old School Presbyte- rians only for a year, not being sure that they will like it. Perhaps—if in tive mean time they can pay off that persuasive ! mortgage, with ten per cent. interest—-they may then change | their minds and try some other variety of religion. Mean- | while collections ate being extensively and liberally made | for Father ee and his Old School Presbyterians, »mong Charchmen in England and Ireland. The appeals in England and [reland are based on an imploring letter from Father Chiniquy himself to the Rev. Dr. Hellmuth, a Church clergy- man of Canada, which thus concludes :— '

‘* During my absence the authorities of the Church of Rome have done everything to deceive my poor new converts; but they have failed, thanks be to God. 1am preparing them to receive the Holy Communion ; I will adopt the beautiful Litur- gy of the Church of England.

This is a capital Jetter on which to warm the sympathies and attract the loose cash of English and Irish Churchmen. Bat it looks queer alongside of the above extracts from the business documents of the Kankakee Reeord Office. We do not blame Father Chiniquy 80 severely, however. for the date of that letter, (though still vigorously circulated abroad) is ** July 18, 1859 ;"’ and the crowning argument in favor of Old School Presbyterianism was not forced upon him in its most convincing form until the 3rd of October. But, to say the leust, after the extraordinary language of the Presbyterian, perhaps it would be well for somebody to give us a little ex- planation.—Church Journal.

LEPROCY IN NEW BRUNSWICK.

We perceive that the grant of £300 is still continued by the New Brunswick Legislature to the Lazaretto at Tracadie. It will be remembered, we presume, by many of our readers, that a number of years ago, among the inhabitants of the set- tlement of Tracadie, (Acadian French) situated in the County of Gloucester, the disease of leprocy broke out, and extended its baneful effects over that portion of the County. A Laza- retto was built at Sheldrake Island, in the Miramichi River, and the persons affected — forty or fifty in number —were placed init. After being kept there a number of years, they were ‘removed to Tracadie again, where several buildings were erect- ed, enclosed with high fences, and the afflicted classed accord- ing to the stages of the disease in which they were found We have heard but little of the lepers of late ; yearly an an- nual grant from the Legislature is made, which assures us that the disease still exists, and that medical supervision is consid- ered necessary. , ;

The peculiar nature of this disease—its prevalence in that one district of the Province only, and among that particular elass, invest it with much interest. This disease, if we mis- take not, was taken from Quebec to Tracadie about the year | 1826, but did not show itself to any extent for a number of years. Its inereace about the year 1844 led to the appoint- ‘ment of a medieal commission, whose exertions, we presume, kept the disease within the settlement in which it o iginated.

Hotsoway's Pints—Britiovs Arrections—In the spring and full of the year, nothing is more common, and few ail- ments more dis ressing, than the class of diseases dependant on disordered liver. The sensation of nausea, headache, listlessness, and loss of appetite, will at once be recognised as the symptome of liver siealaas ; which can only be relieved by regulating the action of that organ. Holloway’s Pills exercise a healthful influence over the biliary secretion, known and appreciated through Great Britain and her Colonies. These pills cure after everything else fails.

AYER’S CATHARTIC FILLS.

The sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed their ut- most to produce ths best, most perfect purgative which is known to man. Innumerable proofs are shown that these Pitts have virtues which surpass in excellence the ordinary medicines, and that they win unpre- cedentedly upon the esteem of all men. ‘hey are safe aud pleesant to take, but powerful tocure. Their penetrating properties sti-aulate the vital activities of the body, remove the obstructions of its organs, purify | the blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul humors which | breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish or disurdered organs into their natural action,and impart a healthy tove with strength to the whole system. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also formidab!« and dangerous diseases that bave baffled the best of human skill. V ‘le they produce powerful effects, they are at the same time, in «iusnished doses, the safest and best physic that can be | employed for children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take; and being purely vegetable, are free from any risk of harm. Cures have been made which surpass belief were they not substantiated by men of such exalted posit on and character as to forbid the suspicion of | untruth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians have lent their names to certify to the public the reliability of my remedies, while others | have sent me the assurance of their conviction that my preparations | contribute immensely to the relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.

The Agent is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, cop- taining directions for their use and certificates of their cures, of the following complaints :—

Custivencss, Billious Complaints, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Heartburn, Headache arising from a foul stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Morbid In- action of the Bowels and Pains arising therefrom, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all Uleerous and Cutaneous Diseases which require an evacu- ant medicine, Scrofula or King’s Evil. They also, by purifying the blood and stimulating the system, cure many complaints which it would not be supposed they could reach, such as Deafness, Partial Biinduess, Neuralgia and Nervous Irritability, Derangement of the Liver and | Kidneys, Gout, and other kindred complaints arising from a low state of tbe body or obstruction of its iunctions.

Do net be put off by some unprincipled dealers with some other pill they make more profit on. Ask for AreR’s Pits, and take nothing else. No other they can give you compares with this in its intrinsic value or curative powers. The sick want the best aid there is for them, and they should have it. d :

A POOR EXCUSE.

—

“A poor excuse is better than none,” is an old saying which does not obtain a very apt illustration from the pen of the Coleuial Seeretary when he attempts to defend the Government for their inconsistency in adopting the Land Purchase Bill, which they so much abused while they were in opposition. Mr. Pope now says that the opposition to the Purehase Bill by his frieads in the Government was not because they disliked the principle of that measure—on the contrary, they believe! the principe to be a sound one,— but necause “they were convinced that the members of the late Goveroment woull, to serve their own ends, buy any lands they might be enabled to procure, regardless of price.”

Tuis step on their part is the | more gratifying from the fact that no means have been used ‘to bring it avout. Whilst other denominations were exerting /themselves to the utmost by tracts, books, letters, offers of money, &¢., to win over the colony, we are happy to say that Old School Presbyterians abstained from all such work, and contented themselves with making most prompt and generous contributions for their relief. The present connection, there- fore. is entirely voluntary on the part of the colonists.’ Lhe Chicago Journal, on the other hand, after mentioning that Mr. Chiniquy, with two-thirs of his Kankakee congregation, had connected themselves with the Presbyterians, adds; * | he | father did not give them time for reflection, but urged them, ‘on financial considerations, to up stakes and join. He requested ‘them to try Presbyterianism fur one year, and then, if they did not like it, they c»uld join some other.

Now. bere we bave a clear confession that the opposition | to the late Government was based upen personal and not| upon public grounds—* Men not Measures,” appears to have’ been the wa'chword in the Conservative camp. Some of the measures proposed by the Libera's were worthy of all praise ; hut it was right to oppose them beeause they had uot been introdueed by a different class of politicians. It may be convenient, though’ very discreditable to Mr. Pope and his party, to off-r an exeuse of this kind; but it ia not the true one. The Tory party opposed the Purchase Bill before an acre of jand was bought in accordance wish its provisions. They opposed it on the ostensible groand that no Goverament should speculate in the purchase of township lands—ethat any transactions under it could not be “ self-sustaining,”""—and that come of the elanses of the Bill—as Maclean repeatedly declared in the dander, and in his correspondence with the Colonial Otice—were designed to ** swindle” tenants out of their possessions. But the real opposition to the Bill was based on the belief—not openly expressed indeed—that it would tend to lessen the price of township lands general}y, as it certainly did, and thereby reduce the profits of the pro- prietors and their agents. The Tories never before ayowed tieir"opposition to the measure on the ground of ‘its having
