THE WRONG POINT. Noruina is easier than to come off victorious in a eontroversy, when one is

allowed to state the adversary’s case one’s self. By adoptiag this plan, the Argus has, in its last issue, triumphed (with the assistance of a volume of Macaulay’s Es- says) over its opponents on the School question. So delighted is it with its exe ploit, that it intends giving a few more extracts in its next. Now, the readers of the Argus will certainly have no reason to- complain if its columns are taken up with Macaulay’s Essays; but, while pleasing terary treat, these extracts have not

Had we imagined that Dr. Murray wished to be held responsible only for the words taken down by the clerk of the committee we should not, certainly, have repeated the expression after the evidence was pub- lished. We trust that we may not be charged with misrepresenting 1nd slan- dering the learned doctor, when we state that he is in favor of having the Christian religion taught in the public schools.

Government schools’ or double taxes. Give some freedom of choice. And, if a good, efficient school, in a suitable building, is established, then let the Government pay for the secular instruction there given, and ask no ques- tions about what is not its concern, viz., the religious teaching that may there be given. Before long, it will be necessary to assess taxes for schools. Then, too, let this much freedom be given, that while every man must pay his taxes, he may yet pay them where he likes. Now, what has this plain, just proposal to do with the “pianoforte makers” and «bakers ’? whom the Argus has brought upon the stage? Is it not evident that the above way is really the only one in which the Government frees itself, as it ought to do, from all responsibility about religious teaching. There are three courses open. By two of them the Gov- ernment interferes with religion, viz., by providing religious teaching, or by re- fusing to recognize secular teaching be. cause religion is taught in the same school. Against both of these we protest. We ask that the Government confine it- self to its own duties ; and if it assumes the care of secular instruction as one of them, then to recognize such instruction wherever it may be given.

The Argus speaks of the “‘ opponents of secular education.” It would be well to be mere accurate in the lan- guage used on this point. We do not deny that both sides may have spoken carelessly about this subject, and so at— tributed to their adversaries views which they donot hold. More careful language would show just the question at issue, and bring the controversy within narrower limits. We are not “ cpponents of secular education.”’ Nor do we believe the Ar- gus and its friends to be ‘‘ opponents of religiogs education,” sbsolutely. We gladly acknowledge that they teel its Let them acknowledge that we value secular education, too. Really, we only differ on this point: Should secular and religious education be given together They think separately. Then, we say, by all means have your children so educated. We will enter into a generous rivalry with your schools, and

or separately ?

see which can do the best for the young.

* Still, we differ from you, and conscien-

tiously believe that they ought not to be separated—believe, that not only morally and spiritually, but even intellectually, it is better for youth that the two trainings should hand in hand. Now, we know that you do not force us to send our children to your schools, but you do com- pel us to pay, through the revenue of our country, for schools which we cannot use. You put us just in the position of persons who, while allowed perfect freedom to worship where and how they please, are yet required to pay rates in support of ar Established Church which they cannot attend. Is this fair or liberal ?

And again, we say we ask not the Gov- ernment te provide or to pay for religious instruction, only we ask it not to refuse to pay out of the common funds, to which we have contributed our fair share, a

reasonable amount for the secular educa- in denominational schools.

What is there unreasonable in this ? . ——

‘PARTY VS, PRINCIPLE.”

tion given

THE organ of the Minister of the In- icrior—who assisted in giving “ denomi- national schools”? tothe people of the North-west, contains an article headed ‘“« Party vs. Principle,” in which Liberal- Conservatives are exhorted to vote for purely secular schools—* on principle”! !

The Patriot had been endeavoring to induce Liberal-Conservatives to oppose the claims of those who demand payment for the resultsof the secular education imparted in denomivational schools and to support Mr. L. H. Davies, Mr. Wil- liam Campbell, Mr. Manoah Rowe and others ef its partizans. We put in a simple plea for the payment of the results of secular instruction—no matter in what school imparted,—and for the election of GooD MEN. We mentioned the name ot the Hon. J. C. Pope because he is the only politician on the Island who has pro- posed a seheme to obtain that which we desire, and because we regard him as, by all odds, the ablest man remaining in our

local political field. Had we been actuated by the motives of a mere parti-~ zan, we should not have failed to mention the names and enumerate the services of Hon. Mr. Owen, Hon, Mr. Haviland, Hon. Mr. Brecken and others,—after the same manner that the Putrict puts for. ward the names of Mr. L. H. Davies, Mr. William Campbell, Mr. Manoah Rowe und others, as gentlemen worthy the con- fidence of Liberal Conservatives.

When the candidates for election are known and their opinions declared, it will be time enough to advise the people wio to accept as their representatives. In the meantime, it would be well seriously to consider whether it will be expedient and right to continue the school agitation in- definitely—or to adopt the fair and reason- «ble scheme propounded by Mr. Pope for

tian Ministers who are, paradoxically, en- deavoring to close fast, the doors of our public schools against the Christian re> ligion. This is, to us, a pleasing fact. With respect to the scheme proposed by the talented doctor, we have only to say, that we have not yet had time to give it the mature consideration it deserves. ——— SUMMER ARRANGEMENTS.

Since the opening of navigation, mails have come tu us from Nova Scotia on two days only of each week, An English mail arriving at Halifax on Saturday would reach here atnoon on Wednesday. That the last English mail, which reached Halifax on Saturday, got here as early as Tuesday was due to the happy aecidentof George- town harbor being blocked with ice, and, so, the steamer being driven in here.

It gives us pleasure to report that this state of things is soon to be remedied. We understand that arrangements have been made, under which one of the Steam Navigation Company’s steamers will make four trips to and from Charlottetown and Pictou every week. Trains to carry mails and passengers to and from Halifax, on ar- rival and departure of the boat, will also be puton the route. This arrangement is late. But “it is better late than never.’”’ —~->>— THE PATRIOT ON THE SCHOOL

QUESTION.

AFTER some weeks careful trimming, the Patriot ventured, on Saturday, to come out a little decidedly on the side of those whose who would not allow denomi- national schools any Government support. We, however, look in vain for any ex. planation as to why a thing that is right in the North-West, would be wrong in the South-East. This, really, is the point upon which the public want an explana- tion from the Patriot. We shall attend to the Patriot's arguments.

AN IMPROVEMENT.

We note with pleasure that some of our citizens have planted ornamental trees ca Pownal Street, and have taken measures for their protection. We trust that many others will follow their example. A little taste and enterprise on the part of its people and its corporation would soen make Charlottetown one of the handsom- est cities on the continent.

WARLIKE NEWS.

Lonpox, June 4.—England has sent Ad.~ miral Drummond East with orders to pre-~ vent the forcing of the Dardanelles. The unfinished ironclads are being completed in great haste. Regiments are under orders to start at a moment’s notice. The Minis~ terial North German Gazette declares that owing to the antagonism between Russia and England, all Europe is plunged inte a most critical situation. The National Zi- tung regards the pacific view recently taken by Count Andrassy as entirely erroneous, and foresees that momentous decisions will now have to be immediately adopted by the various Powers. The Times’ correspon~ dent remarks that there is but two much reason for these apprehensions, and adds : “The King of Greece has ordered his army to be placed on a war footing. A crisis is unavoidable, unless Russia retreats.” The Berlin telegraphic agency asserts that Engx land has concluded an alliance with Turkey, and guaranteed the latter’s integrity,

Lonpon, June 5.—The special despatches from Alexandria. Berlin, Vienna, Rome,and Paris, sound more than usually alarming. The Alexandria correspondent says Murad, the present Sultan, is an old enemy of the Khedive of Egypt, and it is not likely the Khedive will risk his life by personally pres senting himself in Constantinople. A Ber- lin despatch says Servia will not recognize the new Sultan. Vienna papers state that Gortschakoff is greatly irritated, attributing the Turkish revolution to English inter- vention. From Vienna comes a report that the British Government recently suggested that the warfare being urged against the Turks in Servia and Montenegro should be treated as a breach of the peace of Europe committed by Russia, The Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna, advocates an English- Austrian Alliance,

Lonnox, June 5. (evening.)—Further de- sputches from Berlin to the “ Times,” state that the declarations of the Montenegrin official “ Gazette,” say the insurgents are determined to immediately fall upon the Turks with the whole Servian race, and it must be considered as authentic. The Russian agent in Herzgovinia has published an address handing the diplomatic direc- tion of insurgent affairs over to the Prince of Montnegro. The Servian troops are ranged on the frontier, ready at a moment’s notice. The central staff has gone to Alexi- natz, near the Turkish camp at Nish. The principal Servian force is stationed at Loz nilza, where pontoon bridges are being cons structed preparatory to crossing into Bosnia. Various camps are established along the frontier, Additional despatches to the Times says that Russian General Thernayeff: who has assumed command of the Servian forces, on his arrival to Belgrade presented the Government with $25,000, a donation from the Sclavonic Society of Russia. Bul- garia is also being filled by hosts of well armed volunteers, which are daily arriving from Russia, Servia, Roumania and Monte. negro. The attitude of the Porte is con. sidered firm. Special envoys have been sent to Morocco and Tunis to ask for assists ance.

London, June 7, p. m.—Special despatch- es from Berlin say considerable uneasiness is created there by the sudden return of Prince Bismarck from Lauenberg for pro- tracted conference with the Emperer. The uneasiness is increased by the announce. ment that the Emperor's departure for Ems is postponed. The rumor connects those events with certain exaggerated claims made on Germany for support in her Eastern Policy, which Prince Bismarck, it

is reported, is not inclined to sanction,

NY . YN 4 MY ee ae SQ 22 FIA GE NORMAN MACLEOD.

We have received from Messrs. Belford Brothers, publishers, Toronto, a well» printed and neatly bound volume contain« ing a memoir of the great and good man, whose name and likeness appears at the head of this article. The ‘memoir’ was written by Norman Macleod’s brother, the Rev. Donald Macleod, and is ‘ dedicated to his mother, now in the ninety-first year, in affectionate remembrance of all that her children and children’s children owe to her influence,’ A very interesting and pleas- ing feature of the book, is the quotations from Dr. Macleod’s letters. Here is one— written while on the voyage to North America—which goes straight to the heart:

‘On board the Commodore, going to « LiverPooL, 1845, To his Stster JANE —

“We hada happy dinner at Glasgow. Mother sad, until ‘I calmed her fears and she was calm.’ Don’t you love your mother? What is she? Notanice body—she is too large in soul and body for that. Nota nice soul—she has too much sense and intellig- ence for that. Not anica woman—she has too much enthusiasm and also piety for that. A lady is not the word—for my mother’s in- come was always small,good soul; and though she could furnish ten ladies with what is ladyslike and keep to herself what would serve to adorn a minister’s house, lady is is not the word. My Mother! That's it; and don’t you love her? I do; and let me tell you that in these days the fact is worth knowing,”

Some weeks ago we published Dr. Macs leod’s impressions of this Island. Wenow have much pleasure in commending the Inemoir itself to the attention of our read- ers. trated News the following short account of the Doctor’s life.

Norman Macieop was born at Campbell- town, Argylshire, on June 3, 1812. His father was Norman Macleod,D. D., Minister of Columba, Glasgow, and Dean of the Royal Chapel. The name of his mother was Agnes Maxwell. He seems from his childhood to have had many of the charac~ teristics which distinguished him through life—being affectionate, bright, humorous, and talkative. His mother, and that aunt who was the friend of his earliest as well as of his latest years, remember many inci~ dents illustrative of his extreme lovingness and ceaseless merriment. Another, of his own age, relates, as one of her earliest memories, how she use: to sit among the group of children round the nursery fire, listening to the stories and talk of this one child “whose tongue never lay.”” When a boy, he was sent to the Burg school, where all the families of the place,high and low, met and mingled, but the great event of his boyhood was his being sent to Morven. He had being frequently there as a young child, but his father, anxious that his son should know Gaelic,’ and, if possible, be a Highland minister, determined to board him with old Mr. Cameron, the parish schoolmaster in Morven,and so,when about twelve years of age, he was sent first fo the Mause and then to the schoolmaster’s house,

When Norman was still a boy, his family removed to Campsie, near Glasgow—a bit of mountain country on the edge of all the bustling wealth of manufacture and trade, which became the home of his most belov~ ed recollections, and where he now sleeps by the side of his father and brothers. His college career does not seem to have been of any special interest; he was no classical student,nor had he the kind of mind which is attracted by the absorbing enthusiasm which makes the scholar. Scotland to him was infinitely more attractive than Greece, and Wordsworth among his neighbouring mountains more near and dear than Homer or Sophocles. He was fond of talk and argument, and that unbounded reading for which youth alone has time and appetite sufficient, and which stands the mature in- tellectual werkman in such stead at a later period. He became tutor to a young Eng- lishman, Mr, Preston, of Moreby, when he was about twenty, and with him went to Weimer, where the two lads, the precep» tor not much older nor more serious than the pupil, seemed to have enjoyed them- selves at least, if nothing else—singing, dancing, reading, flirting, nay, falling in love with all the fervour of youth. If Norman got any harm by this quaint outbreak of gaiety, it never apeared in his after life.

After returning to Scotland and complets ing his theological studies, he was admitted into the the Ministry and appointed to Loudoun in 1838 where he spent five years. His part in the celebrated Disruption Con- troversy of 1843 is one of the most stirring and eventful episodes of his life, and our readers are particularly referred to it. In that same year he was transferred to Dal~ kieth where he remained till 1545,

The General Assembly of 1845 having determined to send adeputation to Brit~ ish North America, to visit the congrega- tions connected with the church of Scotland

in these colonies, the late Dr. Simpson, of | P

Kirknewtown, Dr. John Macleod, of Mors ven, and Norman Macleod of Dalkieth, were appointed deputies. They accerdingly sailed from liverpool in June, and were absent on this duty for five months, The purpose of the deputation was to preach to the many congregations which had been des prived of their clergy during the recent ecclesiastical troubles, and to explain when called upon, the views which had deter mined the policy of those who had remain- ed by the church of their fathers. They determined not to utter a disrespectful word regarding their Free Church brethren, and while firmly vindicating their own church, to do nothing likely to interfere with the usefulness of any other Christian

We collate from the Canadian Illus~|

jniscencees are full of interests and will be found in Chapter X, On his return he made a tour in Prussia, Poland and Silesia, in connection with the Evangical Alliance. He then spent from 1848 till 1851 at Dal- kieth again, In 1851 he was inducted minister of the Barony parish, Glasgow, in July; and on the lith of Augus, in the same year, he was married to Catherine Ann Mackentosh. The particulars of his labors from this time till his death are too important and numerous for rehearsal here.

Dr. Macleod never seems to have recover- ed anything like vigorous health after his Indian expedition; and his last great pub- lic effort was a speech on this subject,made in the Assembly of 1872, one part of which was an indignant and eloquent protest against sending missionaries to India bound in straitest swaddling bands of doctrines and forcing even Hindoo converts to “ sign the Westmiaister Confession of the Church of Scotland, or the Deed of Demission and Protest of the Free Church.”

In this same speech, which is said to have produced a very great impression, he announced his relinquishment of public work in consequence of his failing health, and bade farewell to the Church in the pathetic words of the Psalmist: ‘‘ If I for- thee, O, Jerusalem, let my right hand for- get her cunning.” This farewell was not supposed by anyone to be final. He was to withdrew from work to temporary rest to fit himself for other labors to come.

But within a few days his manful and Christian career was ended. On the 3rd of June he was sixty, and his family were all gathered round him to celebrate the an« niversary — his admirable and _ beloved mother—strange fortune for a man of that age !—joining his children round his table, He wrote his journal, he wrote letters to various dear friends. He assembled his children about him, nine of them, an uns broken circle, and no doubt there were murmurs, if too timid for bold utterance, of happy days to come, A day or two after he went out and canght a chill, but did his best to keep his attendants merry on the last sleepless, restless nights, beguiling the monotony of the long hours by quips and jests and wreathed smiles,smi!es of a mirth more touching than tears. Then quite suddenly on the peaceful Sunday, every thing still around him, his girls gone to church, his wife sitting by him, the church bell just ending, he laid back his head—and entered a better church than theirs,
