small matter t The question of Confederation was introduced, and discussed freely and candidly,—my own) views were expressed in the same way as I have expressed them in’ the Island. I contended for the right of the people to pass judgment on the question before they should be asked to ac- cept it. I answered the groundless fallacy about an attempt being made to force it on the several communities to be affeeted by it against their will, and showed that the very text of the Que- bee Schewe strictly provided for an appeal to the people through their several Legislatures. The Hon. Mr. Wilmot, of New Brunswick, who is a member of a Government which displaced their predecessors by a furious out-cry against Conk -; deration last winter, when they knew the people had no conception of the magnitude uf the ques- tion, and were terrified at the illusory prospect of increased taxation — stated broadly that there

are “vast numbers in the Province of New Brunswick favorable to Confederation, only that some of them are not prepared to accept all the details of the Quebee Scheme.” He repeated this statement publicly on our arrival in this City of Toronto on Saturday night.

THE TENANT UNION PLEDGE.

“Art. 21, Every tenant belonging to thie Unieu ehall unite with the other tenants on the Estate ov which he livesto make a reasonable offer tor the purchase of the freehold of his farm. He shall pay neither rent, nor arrears of rent, and shall contribute a reasevable share te the funds. both for the working expenses of the Society, and the aasistance of thase members who may sustain a loss of time or property by the action which may be taken against them for rent or arrears.” —V ide Constitution of the Tenant Union, as published in Ross's Weekly of the 14th ult.

AFTER reading. in the Weekly of the 7th ult., the article en the Tenant Union, in which the writer—the apologist and detender of the Organi- zation—eondeuns “ the foolish bravadves, uttered by professed supporters of the Union,” that is by members of the Society; and rpeaks of * the bad

tion of every day life and business.

Let us suppose, then, that, amongst our country

shopkeepers, there ia one, gifted with the atrongest

perceptions as to what, in any of his business trane-

actions, or worldly dealings, would be the most

for his own advantage; but who, although moat

tenacious of all his own real or mmagined rights,

entertains but very lax and unsettled notions of

the rights of others—especially if a just recogni-

thon of them would be lkely te operate as an

obstacle in the way of any of his schemes of gain.

And let us suppose that this man has, for several

years, been supplied with the goods in which he

deals, at the market prices, and on the usual terme of credit, &e., by a certain merchant in Char- lottetown, in whose ledger, ever since the com- mencement of their dealings, there bas always stood a debt, or balance of account, of greater or less amount, against him; and ihat be has, as at this fall, got, on credit, from the said mercbant, his stock of goods, both for the present season and the coming winter, although at the time there stood an old balance against bim in the merchant's books; and, further, that having got this said supply safely warehoused and shelved ; and having made a loving and pleasing survey otf the whole, a wish—long cherished in his bosom— to be able to call everythiag in bia possession positively his own, has taken such full possession of him, that he ean no longer rest until be bas made a most determined effort to realize it, be the weaus what they may—benest or dishonest— fair or foul. Well then, let us still further suppose that, after having deeply cogitated thereon, a scheme presents itself te his labouring wind, which, wild and dishonest as it is, be determines to endeavor to put into practice forthwith; and, for that purpose, hastens off to Charlottetown “to try conclusions" respeeting it with his mer- chant—without whose coneurrenee, madly covet- ous as he is, he is yet sane enough to know that his echeme can never take effect. Having, then, completed his journey and found the merchant, we still turther suppose that he thus commences to unfold his scheme: “ My business with you, at this time, Mr. ,is of a very important nature, but not of the usual character of our transactions ; and, so out of the common course

we are proud to know, there are many euch ten ante as he, honest and contented; and few, very few of an opposite character. With this friend, whom we had net seen for a long time befere, we were naturally very well dieposed to have a little free and familiar talk; and, after due ex- change of greetings. we wiilingly enough allowed ourself to be drawn, by him, into a rather search- ing discussion concerning the principles und do- ings of the Tenant Union; which, indeed, appear to be, just now, the principal subject of discussion amongst all classes of the people, from one end of the Island toe the other; and in whieh cer- tainly the whole tenant class, whether as indi- viduals they are members of the Uniwn or not~ cannot fail to be deeply interested.

As our discuasion progressed, our friend, think- ing, doubtless, that—as editorial journalists are presumed to be almost ubiquitous and omniscient in their professional capacity—we should have little or no difficulty in fully answering him, plied us with many pertinent queries anent the tenant organization, and the working of it, by the jugg- ling engineers who direct and control its move. ments. Amongst others which he put to us, he rather posed ua by this, which was very evidently suggested by a want of faith in the honesty of the tenant organization engineers:

* What do you think will beeome of the money whieh they—the said engineers—are so eagerly and successfully collecting throughout the country.”

In reply, we said, that, transcendent as our professional knowledge and wiedom most un- undoubtedly were, we were obliged to confess that, with ali the power which those qualities gave us te unravel mysteries and penetrate secrets, we could not divine what would be the
