' GKKTLSMEK,

'I'lie circumstance alone of my being an Elector for your District, and of having used my franchise at your lastelection, I would by mmeans oEer as iving me a claim to address you thus publicly, did I not consider my- sel called on to refute astatement made, most unexpectedly to me, by Charles Young, Esq., in a speech communicated to and reported in the Colonial Herald, of Saturday last, as having been delivered by him to “a large number” of the Elecwrs of our District, at Pinette, on Wednesday preceding, by which it appears e has told the Meeting -Ihat “the Pro- prietnrs had a-lewal advocate in the House of Assembly, who was ever ready “ to protect their interests, and who always spoke and voted against the “ 'I‘enamry.” . .

Being the only member ofthe legal profession in the Housepf Assembly, the statement can apply to none other than myself; and having. wflic;eut reason to believe that Mr. Young, upon the diderentopportjinities he has embraced of appearing before the public during his short residenceon the Island, has in most instances been the reporter ofhis-own “ sayings and doings” for the newspapers, I may besafe in taking the statement as faithfully reported:—It charges me, gentlemen, with advocatin in my legislative capacity, the personal interests of a particular set of in ividuals to whom I am said to be allied, and leaves you and the public to suppose that I have devoted the honourable trust cqufided to me, to an unauthor- ized and tinworthy purpose.

Ifit be a crime, a disgrace, or at the least a dispamgement, to be the advocate of such a class of persons as the landed Proprietors of this Island, I stand acquitted of it; I am not, I have never been, nor have I any reason/to expect to be, the land agent, nor even (save a solitary instance) the regular law agent or advocate of any Proprietor: and need I say that I am not the representative of a proprietary constituency, or ofone swayed or affected in any degree by proprietary influence.

I am charged with always speaking and votin against the Tenantry; ingeniously asserted! against the tenantry as individuals having a right or immunity at stake, I deny the char e applied to me: Gentlemen, I trust I may be believed to css a su cieut “knowledge oftlie first principles oflaw, and of the no ile an’d glorious constitution of Great Britain,” to respect the prerogative of the Crown, the liberty of the subject, and the rights of property. saci ed ever as they have been held by all who recognize and respect that constitution; and whenever my situation or duty calls for an expression of opinion on any measure or project which

I consider calculated with a hardened and profligate disregard _to’ every '

impulse ofre’ason and tie ofcommon honesty for a urposc destructive of the enjoyment ofmau’s right, whether it consists in ie lands of his estate, the personal propert he may péssess, or the character he may main- tain in society, an whether that expression ofopinion may become necessary in the House of Assembly or out ofit, I sha I give it as freely as my very limited abilities will enable me, wholly indifferent, although by no means insensible to the advanages it may afford to artful persons, several although there may be, who find it their interest to represent the part I take as the advocacy of the Proprietors, or as opposition to the Tenantry.

Gentlemen, it is not the Tennntry I oppose; it is the conduct of those persons who offer such vain and chimerical propositions, who make such absurd and outrageous emands in timir behalf; conduct which has destroyed that cause, 0 those claims which, under the management of moderate men, would by this time, in all probability, have been pro- ductive of some melioration to those whose cases really entitle them to consideration; it is this thatI oppose, conduct which has aroused the Proprietorstoa keen sense of their interests; which has now procured for them the determined support of a Government, otherwise well in- clined to have entertained any reasonable measure on behalf of the Ten- antry; conduct which has indeed been fatal to their cause, and has render- cl their condition infinitely worse, and their chances less than ever.

Mr. Young’s professions and pledges, gentlemen, I do not deem iteo necessary to comment on, although he has left it quite open to me, if he has not indeed called on me to do so; butI cannot well avoid remindin K?“ of his connection with the agency of the famous Land Company, wliic 1

Is brother, George R. Young, Esq., of Halifax, ashort time ago, in junction with Mr. Cunard, was making so many efforts, both in England and here, to establish among the Proprietors of this Colony. Mr. Charles Young 1 always considered fully coincided with his brother’s views oftho merits of the case between the Proprietors and the Tenuntry, and be settled in this Colony as the sub-agent ofthe company for the purpose of carrying into operation their plans, and giving effect to the terms of

indulgence offered the Tenantry through the medium of his brother, as

ppblislied in his pamphlet distributed in this Island. These terms the ouse ofAssembly a few weeks ago pronounced as “ not calculated to " afford relief to the Tenantry, but to empower the leuor, with more easeand “ facility, to deprive and disposscss the cultivator of his improvements.”

Although Mr. C. Young was engaged professionally in the Supreme Court for some of the tenantry, still I supposed his political principles continued the same, until I witnessed the sudden and wonderful meta- morphosis they had undergone since Mr. Arbucklc’s seat washdcclared vacant. And, Gentlemen, although he has told you “his principles are too firme fixed to waver,” iflie becomes a member of the Assembly, and succeeds in impurtin to the majority of the House (who strange to say, he tells you have invite him there) “ a knowledge ofthe first principles of “ law, and of the noble and glorious constitution of Great Britain when- " ever (Query) they should require it,” and always act consistently with that knowledge, I doubt much whether you Will find him such a faithful advocate of the cause liehas so “fervently espoused” on your behalf; and I would have you not to be surprised at observing him, after a short time, numbered on the same side of the House as I, whom he has charged with always speaking and voting against the Tenantry.

I am, Gentlemen, your humble servt.
