AN OPEN LETTER TO HON. F. PETERS.

Sin,—I wae just banded a little pamphlet carefully stitcned aud styled your “Buc get Speech.” You start out with praise of Une

party in Nova Scoua, your pas: policy, avd your present policy—the politicians duw, together with your usual bluff! of boldness and brag. On reading it, | wonder

ed if this was the same little boy I knew in knickerbockers travelling back and forwards to the classic school room of Dr. Leeming, and I wondered further whether, true to his inherited ancestry, he had the epecial privilege of scattering bis speech broadcast over the land at the public ex- pense wuile other members of equal men- tal calibre with himeelf are deuied this privilege. Equal rights and privileges do not then enter tuto your ideas of reporting the doings ,of parliament, and while osten- sibly under the guise of economy,you pre-

tend the change is in the interests of the taxpayers, vet it 1# altogether ia the in-

terests of the party in power.

Your speecn, 't remarkablefor anything, is more remarkable tor what it does not coptain than for what it does contain. From your standpoint it is an able ex- hibition of your propensity to galvanize and pick out of your career the less object Ouable points. A mistake common to politicans of all creeds, vou make in making or comparing the expenditures of the late goyernment with your own. Separate items in different years do not show corretly either your policy or that of the late government. I am uo advocate or defender of the late Suilivan Government or the McLeod Government. They were not perfect. ‘But I think their sins were notably those of omission more than com- missior., The ; ublic are now only concern- ed with good government;and the duties of politicians. If anywhere w be regarded by the people, the first duty to require -of a public man is to be careful that bis public declarations accord with his private ones, and that public pledges made in the inter-

=> D>

ests of good government and the people are faithfully carried out. The morality of the people is eadly defective if they can listen toa man on the hustings make] speeches, and the momeat he is elected to parliament throw his ap2eehes and prom- isestotne four winds of heaven. That man shou!d be tabboed out of public life asa man unworthy of any confidence whatever. Some years ago it was my privilege to listen to you on the hustings. You promised that if it were, your lot to Lave the Government yeu would have the accounts published at the end of the year,— no waiting fur the Governor’s consent to table them in the House—everything was to be open and above board. Another reform you promised was to provide a reporter for the courts so that the people would havea correct report and not depend on the judges notes. You instanced the loss of time which witnesses had to endure and at great Joss tothem on account of the time taken up in recording the evid-

ence. A shorthand reporter was then a great idea. You spoke of the consolidation of our statutes and the money equandered upon that work, and yeu promised that in a very short while you would complete the consolidation. What have you done? Are the statutes yet to be used in tue iuter- ests of the lawyers, and must anoiuer $14,000 be spent upon them by your party if they are to be returned at the coming election by a long-suffering people ?

You are the Premier of this little Pro- vince and ihe leading executive officer therein. I beg to remind yon that there is no circumstance which tends more eflect- ually to degrade @ nan in the eyes ot the community at jarge and to disqualify him from obtaining the confidence essential to success of al his suvsequent exertions, than ao Opinion, even though i}]-founde |, of his insincerity. As custodian and guardian of the people’s money, you are a failure. Mooey raised from the pe ple for the public benefit ia designed to be applied in the payment of actual services—not in

gratuitous donations. Witness your con- duct in the land office. How the assets of the department have been tquandered in

in matters of comparatively small impor- tance, as well as those of superior magni- tude. Unwilling to cause divappoiutmentr, the first offiser of a government will be cautious of exciting expectations; slow to make promises he will be strict in fulfil licg them. As an honest man, then, in the employ of this Government, you had n> rig st to enter the employ of the Feder. ] Government, for your time belong: to this province,—unless you renoanc: your eglery as A'torney-General during your absence. vis no argument to say your predecessors or others did it. No man can

The leader ef a pure Goverament showd be uncorrupt himself—set his face against every mode of corruption in his depen- dents, and net connive at practices in them in which be would deem it dishonest to be personally concerned. The good of the country should be the leading obj-ct of his Jabors, and mindful of the express and solemn terms iti which Revelation prohibits her votaries from pursuing the most valuable object by any other mrans than truth and virtue. While pros catirg violations of the Canada Temperance Act, and pursuing people aad lodgiog them in the jails of the Province, the Leader of a Government should not be eupporting a club where liquore are used in centraven- tion althoug! sold to himself,of the Canada Temperance Act. In thewhole ca‘alogue of vices that surrounds members of & Government and leading politicians, there is scarcely one more encroaching than political corruption.

Woat has be. once done pleads precedent, and a former transgression often seems to re quire. The only antidote by which you can secure yourself from the contagion, 18 the habit formed and resolutely main- tained of deciding at once on every Case on the stable ground of vectituie, without exposing the bulwarks of integrity to the risk of being undermined, whi-e you are holding parley with expediency.

Your speech is no guarantee that if you are returned to power your Government in the next four years will be any better than it has been in the past.

ROSENEATH NOTES.

The Roseneath Ha!l,which is beautifully and conveniently situated on a corner of the ferm of O.8. Gordon opposite the juaction of Maclaren’s Road with the Georgetown Road, is rapidly nearing completion, and when finished will be a usefal institution, an ornament to the place and a mouument to .he pluck and enterprise of there rate- payers to whose energy is due the credit for thix neat and commodious hell. Contrac- tor Johnson, of Cardigan, who designed and superintesded the work, sustained his reputation as a hustler and skilful me- chanic. The Directors have decided that this Hall shall be free forall religious

be made to hold weekly services.

The Roseneath Loige, I. O. G. T., which is successfully presided over by Mr. G. W. Smith, and ably assisied by a popu- lar and efficient staff of offizers, is in a flourishing and prosperous condition. The amount of seventy dollars which this Lodge realized on their concert was pre- sented to the Hail Company.

The Roseneath School, which has a very large attendance, gives entire satis- faction uoder the efficient management of our popular teacher, Mr. McMillan.

J. D. Maclellan, son of Mr. Dani] Maciellan, woo bas had such a long and painful illness, is rapidly recovering.

Mr. George Bulpitt, who has been down with rheumatic fever, is about again, and will in a short time be able to resume his duties on the farm.

Mr. Edward Bulpitt has purchased a valuable registered Ayrshire bull calf from parties in Untario, which ix pro- nounced a “daisy” by these who have seen il.

instead of sinking the country with a debt you should have started right by tak: ing the peop’e into ycur copfiderce—tell them plainly the exact situation by the published and unpublished accounts, and settle down toa working basis that will

commend itself to the people of this Pro- vince. Instead of that your system of taxation wasa fraud on the people ; and complicated and extensive and varied, as it -ie, what you propose now is not much better, although it may in seme degree bean edvance of your acreage va!uation.

You may claim some credit with your rovd machines; but in the hands of the Supervisors, under a faulty Road Act, they are apt to be used as_ engines of cor- ruption and favoritism, although I think tne road machine itself ia ‘an improvement, in its introduction, for which you deserve credit.

The same principles of integrity and candour which should guide your conduct iu your private affairs will mot be laid aside in your parliamentary capacity. You should entertain no animosity against a man for withholding ‘his support from you, nor should you ascribe to indirect views what may fairly be attribute? to conscientious conviction. You should diecourage in‘your adberents the desposi- tiun, too often found in servile and little minds, to blacken the private characters of their political antagoniste, and of neutrals held in still greater abomination. A British statesman would embrace every occasion of doing justice to their worth. In the coming contest I would advise you to beware of exciting suspicion by ill- timed and inconsiderate expressious or by any instance of active conduct that your professions of patriotism, zeal for liberty, of disinterested solicitude for the public good are merely your exterior garb; @ sort of robe of office, a dress to be worn in

wearer.
