Correspondence.

a . e * To the Editor of the Examiner.
Str,—By your summary of the debates in our Local House of Assembly we learn that our representative, William Welsh, Esq., stated that ‘‘No man will ever have the plea- sure or pain of voting for me again.” No reason is given for the hasty resolve of our re- presentative ; and we are left to conjecture the cause of his intended withdrawal from public life. It may be that he alone of all the members on the Government side is conscious of the extreme bungling of last year’s legisla- tion and censiders it useless to again seek the suffrages of his present constituents. Or, it is just possible he may think that this con- stituency has been honored long enough by the representation of William Welsh, Esq
As Mr. Welsh is about to retire from the strifes and arduous duties incident to a life of politics, or as he is te yield up the ghost poli- tically, it may not be amiss for an old and life long friend to write his political epitaph, It will not be out of place just here to givea short biographical sketch of his political life, and in domg so I can hardly bring myself to call an old and life-long companion as he has been, Mr. Welsh, and shall therefore fondly and familiarly call him ‘*William.”
William and I were born the same year, in Lot 49, and both cherish the hope of being buried in Lot 49, William has already ex- pressed his wish publicy; but this is the first public announcement for myself of our com- mon desire. Together we pursued our boyish sports. ‘Together we \fished trout in Forbes’ mill dai, but while [ steadily applied myself to fishing, William diviied his time between catching a stray trout and making little shingle boats, which he sent out to float upon the mill pond. At Keppock side by side we grubbed turnips. Together we sat upon the stile and watched the white-winged ships as they passed away from Pownal Bay and were lost to view behind Point Prim; and often, while sitting on the same stile, have we looked across the straits and watched the cows graz- ing on the hills of Neva Scotia, But William seems to have a natural fondness for sitting on the stile while I did the grubbing. This habit of looking on while others do the grubbing, is of such long standing that William has not been able to muster force of will to overcome it, even in the House of Assembly. We have never heard of so bad a Bill as the Assessment Act, or so much as an ordinary resolution being framed by him.
WILLIAM, AS AN ORATOR,
is impassioned, and it might traly be said of him, as of a celebrated English statesman : “That if he stood up to repeatthe Multiplica- tion Table, by the time he got to 10 times 10 make 100, he would be in a towering passion.” The difference between the local statesman and the English one being that, at 12 times 12 ve 144, the local would be about wilted, and ‘at 12 times 13 would stick fast. William’s style of elocution is the’ declamatory. His gestures are of the emphatic kind. He de- spises the effeminate style oi graceful-curves, and adopts the angular.. The particular angle by which he enforces his utterances is neither the right angle nor the oblique ; but, while it approximates the obtuse, I will give him the credit of using one of his own invention, and may be styled the “eft angle.” His method of treating great public questions is pecyhar. Instead of laying down his premises and, by logical deduction and inferences, arriving at a logical couclusion, he entirely ignores all such tedious methods and jumps directly at his conclusion. He seems to have but one idea at a time, which he expresses in i more forcible than elegant, and immediately eol- lapses. Of his public utterances, there is but ‘one which seems to have fastened_upon the memniories of his constituents. It is somewhat

ee addressing us at Lot 49, he said: Gentle- men, I want you to vote for me, because I was born in Lot 49, and I wish you to bury me in Lot 49. Lét my funeral obsequies be plain and simple, I want no funereal pomp; no hearse with capraisoned horses,or plumes fiut- termg in the breeze, but let my body be car- ried upon the shoulders of four stalwart Forty- niners, and laid to rest beneath one of the old willows of Lot 49.”

AS A POLITICIAN,
Wilham has not made much of a mark. He may be considered a bohemian in politics,never appeamng to care whether denuke not; and, ii elected, thinking that his constituents have done themselves honor by electing him. He boasts of a independence ; but it. is all a de- lusion. His “friend Davies” hauls him through the muck and mire at will. In fact his friend has been a sort of wet nurse to him, as surely supplying him with political food, as a mother does her helpless infant. His political friends give him credit for shrewdness and cunning, but William’s knowledge being limited, his cunning has never benefitted his party, or in- jured his opponents. As a writer
OF POLITICAL CABDS,
William has never claimed much merit. On one occasion, while entering upon a political campaign, he was told ‘‘a Card was neces- sary.” William paid his friend Davies for think- ing It out for him, and when asked why he did not undertake the task himself, —_ ‘* Them’s my sentiments any how,” He has ventured to give his opinion of the important judgments given in the County Courts against the Trustees . of School . Districts, appointed under the present School Act. William has ae his contempt for the painstaking, plodding labors of the Judges who have endeavored to arrive at the proper meaning of the Act, and he considers them a erankey set, because the judgments were against the Government. But, Sir, I am afraid I have trespassed too much on your valuable space, and must close with the fol- lowing epitaph, which his friends undoubt- edly will place over his political tomb: “Here lies William Welsh who never did his consti- tuents any harm, and up to the present time it has never been discovered that he did them any good.” Many, I have no doubt, will say, in pitying strain as they by, ‘‘ Poor Wil- liam, he was not a bad fellow after all.” Yours, &e., Ropgrick Ranpom.

Mother’s Influence.
To the Editor of the Examiner :
Dear Sir,—Of all the developments and teachings of the youth, there is none so essen- tially and absolutely condusive to ee aiiability and a spirit of fair play, as the early training and teachings of a good, sober, honest and intelligent mother. If she only enforces a rigorous distribution of the food, play toys, etc., among her children and makes the posses- sion of the same undisputed, it will ta spirit of economy and integrity in the youth that will expand as time elapses. But sad it is to say that too many parents and guardians of children, instead of *giving those committed to their care a good religious, honest and moral training, teach them avarice, coveteousness and a multitude of mere grievous sins, that will be imperceptibly increasing with their age, so that finally their prodigal and thievish dispositions wil! bring them into wotoriety. This reasoning may appear paradoxical to the superficial observer, but you can rest assured it is exceedingly philosophical. It takes none of any great argumentative power to prove that carelessly taught youths turn out to be full-fledged pilferers. I see daily children un- der the ocular supervision of their parents com- mit petty thefts by which decent, industrious, honest and respectable citizens are robbed of the necessary fuel, to prepare a bite of vic- tuals? And each morning reveals to my vision the ruinous consequences of maternal negligence. _ Yes, I see some of the fair daugh- ‘ters of our land who, instead of staying home ‘at night and getting the necdful for the morn- ing conflagration, spend their time on the street; and then in the morning prowl around my premises, with axe in hand, demolishing packing cases and carrying off them and my kindlings indiscriminately. In conclusion, I wish only to give notice that if these predatory visits -be continued their sex will no longer ward off the strong arm of jurisprudence.
Yours truly, ©
