,NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. l2.—Ou the 3d February, His Ex— ; lency the Lieut. GOvernor sent down to the Assembly an estimate of the Revenue and Expenditure for 1841, and for ~-Consolfdated Fund. By this document it will be seen that the debt Of the Province is £35,000, and to pay off this sum and obtain means to carry on Public \Vorks for the im- ‘ p‘rovement oftlie Province this year, His Excellency, we understand, proposed to issue Exchequer Bills, in sums of £20m upwards, to the amount of £100,000, bearing ﬁve ,‘ement, interest—Although we dislike the idea of the ,rqvince being so deeply in debt, yet we think the scheme mw prOpOSed would be of incalculable beneﬁt to the coun- ' 131,, provided its details were carried out with a due regard to economy and the public interests. Indeed, unless some- " hing‘be done to relieve the present embarrassment, our

.Province must retrograde instead ofadvance, while the lavish

their measures inimical to all good Government ?—:-aiid did not all the proprietary members of a former House break it up by deserting the business ofthe country, and leaving every thing in confusion, because some measure of im-— portance was advocated by those who had the interest of the colpny at heart? Then why complain that the mem- bers of the Assembly are uneducated, or of the constituency who,w1}h so ’much; propriety, send their neighbours, con- ﬁnding in,the abilities they possess, rather than in strangers, 011‘ these who have been favoured with greater means of Education in another country, but who are unacquainted With the true situation of this? Is it not notorious, that while the proprietary party predominated, every means of instruction was withheld, and the ignorance of the people taken advantage of; and their interests sacriﬁced, for selﬁsh and interested purposes P—and is this not sufﬁcient to warrant distrust, at this day, in those connected with the proprie- tors? It is conﬁdently reported, as. the opinion of a learned Gentleman of that body, that no sum can be exact- ed, as contribution under the Road Compensation Act, for making new Roads, from some error in that statute. Now, thatGentleman is a Crown Ofﬁcer, and one of the Legisla- tive Council—if such an error exists, does he perform his duty, either as Crown Oﬁ‘icer or Legislator, by allowing such to be, without endeavouring to get it amended? My information may be wrong, but I can name more than one or two who have mentioned the circumstance to me, and the words used by that gentleman respecting that statute. Now, Sir, I would ask, was it the intention of the Sove- reign who granted the lands that they, for a century, should remain a Wilderness ?——or was it not for the purpose of more speedily getting them settled and cultivated that such a dis position oftlieni was made ? ‘ It is part ofthe history ol'the Colony, that the grantees agreed to place, within a certain period. a particular number of settlers on each Township—- and those ol'a particular description—and to pay to the Crown a Quit Rent ofti‘om to Gs. per Hundred Acres, sterling ; and after a certain period, to‘ pay the Civil Estab- lishment of the Island. After failing to fulﬁl any one of their promises, after a lapse ot'nearly Sixty years, an abate- ment of those very agreements was made by the Prince Regent, and ten years allowed, from 1816 to 1826, to settle the lands with any description of persons, in the same pro- portions as stated in the original Grants, and to pay from that period 2s, sterling, Quit Rent, to Her Majesty, for every Hundred Acres ofland they held. Can the proprietors, for one moment, contend that those conditions could not be complied with ?—or will they assert that they pay one shilling towards the improvement of the Island? Il'tliey do, I must boldly state, that such does not appear to me to be the fact; as, with common diligence. and a disposition to extend a tenth part Oftlie kindness to the industrious cultivator that they have received from the Sovereign, the greater part of

expenditures of the Legislature appear to be creating a large'public debt, without even a sinking fund or any other ‘recautionary measure for its reduction. ‘ or ST. JOHN.—Tlle Morning News thus remarks on he depressed state of affairs in the city:

We arednformed that there are at present upwards of

at 4000 individuals in this city, depending upon public charity ~fbr support :——and that 600 individuals are on the limits un— able to meet their debts. The Lord only knows what We ' coming to! If the times do not soon alter for the better, Weh‘ill be like the shipwrecked mariner—obliged to turn Work and eat up one another for food.”

5313; Your correspondent, AN ELECTOR or KING’S COUN— ‘u‘, appears to attribute all the evils experienced in this Co- loayto the inﬂuence and extreme measures of Mr. COOPER,» theSpeakei‘ of the House OfAssembly, and has shown clear- that he has beneﬁted very materially by the agitation he hasCiiUSed; but many of those who are actually residents,

"IS‘Well as Electors, OfKing’s County—and who have taken

thasitnation in which the measures of the present House of Assembly have unfortunately placed a large portion ofthe .lih'abitants of the Island—are ol'opinion that the distress nd diﬂiculties under which the people labour are attribut- Ible to other causes, of much greater magnitude; and while Jam free to admit that the measures so strenuOusly advocat- ed by the House of Assembly have placed the tenants and ultivators of the soil in the greatest jtopardy ; yetl must be

credit for sincerity in those measures he has, with so much ’ perseverance, insisted on. Thai they have been ofevil con- i’sequeuce, and have made him the proprietors’ best friend, is now too visible ; but, without attributing improper motives 'to the House of Assembly, or bestowing on them or Mr. OOPEa that wholesale abuse which may answer particular imposes at this time, it must be admitted, by every reﬂect- “ng person acquainted with the history of the Island—and they cannot refrain from expressing their decided conviction —-that there was and still is great need of strong but just measures, to insure that prosperity and improvement to the Colony which every true ﬁ‘iend is anxious it should attain; and, therefore, although they could not go with Mr. COOPER m the extreme measure, were desirous that every Township that was not settled agreeably to the indulgence granted by the Prince Regent in 1816, should be escheated.

But“ 18 now asserted, that the lands Were given away, and the Crown has no desire to compel the fulﬁlment ofthe conditions of the Grants, and, therefore, it is needless to in- terfere in thematter—that the conditions were such as could _ot befulﬁlled, and any attempt to interfere with the sacred -r_.ghts of the proprietors is a crime of the darkest descrip- tion !‘ It is also stated, that the lands of the proprietors are 'hegvdy taxed, and that 1s. per acre, on a lease of from Forty to 21 Hundred years, amounts almost to a gift of the soil to the tenant. Strangers from Europe, accustomed to my thigh rents for highly cultivated lands, and without giving the mitiject any consideratibn, fall in with this opinion, and attri- gbllte all our misfortunes and evils to the want Ofmore ﬁt

ersons to represent us in the House of Assembly, the members of which are described as being uneducated, and val-disposed towards all persons holding property—and assert With conﬁdence that if the Assembly were composed oft: different description of men, every thing would go on well, and propose, as a remedy, that no remuneration should

Such a state of things would suit illogood people of Charlottetown, but cannot answer the pountry,as every part has its local requirements, which Wald, 51$ in days gone by, be disregarded, if left to stran- gers, or those only acquainted with the suburbs of the me- prlis.‘ Did not the people try the nominees of the pro- prietors {Or more thanhalfa century?

TO THE ELECTORS OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

I expected, as a matter of course, that when Mr. COOPER had read my letter to the Electors of Prince Edward Island, he would endeavour to excuse, if not to justify the line of conduct pursued by him for the last nine years, which, at the same time (as it was my object to show) that it has contribu- ted so largely to his own personal advancement and pecuni- aryinterest, has been the means of reducing the Tenantry to their present unfortunate and impoverished condition ; and Ilooked with some degree of curiosity for the next week’s Herald, where Ifound my expectation realised, for in that paper, Mr. COOPER has put himself on his defence, with what success we will now enquire.

He commences his argument, in reply to my letter, by re- ferring to his elaborate communication on the subject of a Petition to the Throne for a change in the present Repre- sentative system of the Island, to which communication 1 made not the slightest allusion, for I did not think it became a man in my humble sphere to attempt to controvert opi- nions advanced by theﬁrst Commoner in the land, upon con— stitutional Law, and such abstruse questions; I left those points for others better read than myself to reply to. My

constituency on their guard against Mr. CoorEn’s soplxistry, and by a simple statement affects—not by “ a tirade of per- sonal abuse,” as Mr. COOPER elegantly designates my letter—— to endeavour to disabuae their minds as to Mr. CoorEn’s self- ish views, in wishing to fan again into life the dying embers ofagitation. He says, that “if he were to suffer the state- ments ofthe ELEc'roit to remain unexplained or uncontrad'icl- ed, it might, as heretolbre, prejudice a Governor and Minis- try,” 8w.

Mr. COOPER has divided what he terms the charges against him, in my letter, into six different heads. We will proceed to his answers to these charges, and see how far he has been able either to explain or contradict them. First, “ That his letter of the 15th ult.” was inte nded for Election purposes.” This he does not attempt to deny, but wishes to draw the attention of his readers to his communication in answer to the Petition, to which 1 have already alluded, but in which the word agitation does not once occur. ‘ Secondly, “ That he was a land Agent, and a rigid enforcer of Rents.” The ﬁrst is admitted, and the fact of the latter speaks for itself, in the vast difference of arrears in 1829 and 1841; but he endeavours to encourage the belief, that he became a martyr to and lost his situation in consequence of his sympathy for the 'I'enanny—although be well knows that his dismissal arose from a very different cause—at least. it is generally so believed by the public. I do not know how Mr. COOPEn’s assertion, that “those Tenants who were t'mprovident, and those who at a particular time of scarcity received public aid, were the only Tenants who ﬁll into arrears,” will sound in the ears of the 'I‘enantry of this Township, When it is notorious that many of the Tenants

claim for Quit Rent? In fact, has not Her Majesty, instead of exacting from the proprietors £20 sterling, to be paid in England, permitted them to pay £30 currency in Prince Edward Island, for the improvement oftheir lands? The Land Assessment, 1 should suppose, averages about £35 for each Township—£5 of which are paid by the actual settlers, leaving Twenty Sovereigns to be paid by the pmprictors, in lieu oftheir Quit Rent; therefore, the amount derived from the Land Assessment is a boon from the Queen, iii- stead Ofa contribution from the proprietors.

But what has been the consequence of the lands remain- ing a wilderness? The worst possible. It is felt by every merchant in’the Colony, and is ruinous to every farmer, as

'&c. is only £3,300—Which is at least £2,000 less than the

- no part in the Escheat question, but. have viewed with regret.

more charitable than the ELECTOR, and give Mr. COOPER-

a made to members, but that, in addition to a great loss of

the arrival of Governor Ready ?—-and what was the result,

it compells him to seek a market for his produce in another country, instead of selling in this. There is not a sufﬁcient quantity raised to induce merchants to speculate in the pro- ductions of the soil, and any attempt to procure a quantity, causesthe price to advance beyond what can be obtained in a foreign market, and therefore prevents those advan— tages which are derived from an enlarged export. " It also deprives those who have expended a large amount of money and labour in clearing and improving farms, from obtaining a remunerating amount for their outlay, as no person pos- sessed ofcapital, and'wﬁio ‘isdeslrous to. improve it, will purchase farms where there are no means of obtaining Edu- cation or society for his children. What has enabled Mr. Braddock to sell his land at a fair price, but its being"situ- ated in a populous and cultivated district? “ But, certainly,” it is stated, “ if the proprietors let their lands for One shil- ling, per acre, no complaint can be made; he must be a bad farmer who cannot pay one shilling from an, acre ofland.” He would be a ‘bad farmer indeed who could not do so; but where is the tenant that pays less than from Ten to Twenty Shillings per acre. Are not the lands let in a wil— derness state, in tracts of from Fifty to One Hundred Acres, with a frontage of from Eight to Ten Chains to the Hun- (lred Acres, on a brook, or road, Or riverP—and is not rent exacted for swamp, and barrens, and bog, without any abate- ment ?-—-and is it not almost impossible, with the greatest personal exertions and privations, to get ten to ﬁfteen acres cleared in as many years, during which time a rent has accumulated at the rate offrom 105. to 20s. on each productive acre, leaving the poor man in arrear, in amount equal to What he can obtain for his improvements, if he is obliged to sell ? —for you must recollect, he has not a gracious Queen to forgive him, where he is unable to fulﬁl impracticable con- ditions, but a rigid and grasping proprietor, who, notwith- standing he has been forgiven all he owed, throws his poor tenant into prison, and deprives him of all he possesses. But is it not absurd for the proprietors to pretend that even ‘Four Shillings for the Hundred Acres, if that were exacted from them, is a high penal tax, when they demand and compel a poor unfortunate tenant to pay from Five to Fifieen Pounds for a Hundred Acres, in addition to the cost of clear- ing and cultivating it? ~

It is admitted that this Island is capable of supporting half a million of inhabitants. Then is it not cruel towards the heavy-taxed people of Great Britain, that alter the lapse 0f nearly three quarters of a century, they should be required to pay for the civil Government of this Colony, instead Of our paying it ourselves, and requiring their manufactures to ten times the extent ofwhat we now do? For who Will attempt to deny, that if the lands had only been granted by the Crown, to actual settlers, that the Whole would now be occupied, and a large portion cultivated. Nor will that great source of Wealth, the ﬁsheries, avail us to any extent, until our lands are settled, and we have a surplus popula- man.

Now you will inquire What remedy 1 would prOpose for the evils complained of It is not for me even to suggest this to those who have the management of our affairs; but 1 will state what was the opinion» of some of our best politi- cians. Governor Desbarres, aided by the late_Mr. Palmer, said, “Tax the wilderness lands.” If his desue had been adopted Thirty-ﬁve years ago; we would not now have to complain of the want of a population. Governor Smith, some years after, wished to escheat all that was liable, and to tax the remainder ; and Governor Ready admitted the equitableness, and Sir Charles Fitzroy _the necessity, of a Land Tax; and by Lord Durham a high penal Tax has been recommended as the only remedy, and acquiesced in by one of Her Majesty’s Colonial Secretaries, under the im- pression that the proprietors should either cultivate the lands themselves or allow them to g0 to Others that Would.

I trust then, that, as we will Shortly have another Election, the constituency of the Colony Will have discernment enough to return men to represent them capable of doing the business of the Colony, and who will fearlessly make known to Her Majesty its true Situation, Withput dreading either an annexation to Nova Scotlaor anything else which may be threatened, for I feel certain that, if He): Majesty is made acquainted with the loss attendant on a want of population, Her Majesty Will new" Perm1t_ the property of her industrious loyal subjects to be depreciated in value at least a hundred per cent., for another half cen- tury, to favor a few persons who desire to keep their lands a: wilderness that they may beneﬁt hereafter by thelabour

who were inclined to pay their rents dnrst not do so, for fear of incurring Mr. CoorEn’s displeasure, and injuring, as they were told, the cause he was advocating. Thirdly, “That he promised the Tenantry a freehold interest in the lam.” This he acknowledges, and, like a man convintted against his will, he tells us “he is of the same opinion still,” basing his argument upon those wild and untenable preten— sions which have led the Tenautry astray for the last nine years, but to the absurdity of which their eyes are now open- ed, in spite oer. Coorsa’s renewed anxiety to induce them still to give him their countenance. Fourthly, “That his delegation to the Colonial Ofﬁce was unsuccessful.” This he also confesses, but says, that “ it was di‘l‘erent from any of those sent from the other Colonies.” lshould be sorry to gainsay this observation of Mr. COOPER, although with his usual ingenuity, he endeavours to' attribute the failure ofhis mission to the disinclination of the Government to advance £200,000, and not to the extraordinary nature of its object. Fifthly, “That he led the people to believe that returning Members to represent their views would lead to a settlement of the Colony.” \Vhat I stated was, that “ he led the Tenan- try to believe, that if they would return Representatives pos- sessing or professing his, Mr. CoorEn’s, views, 8,1. the Tenan- try would become proprietors of the soil,” and that has been replied to by putting into my mouth words which never uttered, and sentiments which I never entertained, “that Tenants are unworthy of representing the people.” lam a Tenant myself; and should be sorry to have it sup- posed that 1 would state any thing to their prejudice. There are many Tenants—men of character and principle—who would do honor to the choice ofthe people, and who, at the same time that they would be tenacious of their rights, would be equally regardful of the rights of others. Lastly, “ That Mr. COOPER has proﬁted by agitation.” In reply to this charge, Mr. COOPER says, “the ELECTOR would lead you to believe, that I have made a proﬁt by agitation ; but he has said nothing Ofmy loss.” The ﬁrst of these facts I have made too clear to fear contradiction. Mr. COOPER has it in his power to enlighten us as to the second. _Thisl know, that when he was applied to, upon a late occasion, for a subscription towards enabling two or three of his dupes on this Township to pay the ﬁnes to which they were sen- tenced, for resisting the Sheriﬁ'in the execution of his duty, he refused to give any thing; and I have not heard Ola Single instance in which Mr. COOPEn’s philanthropic exer- tions in behalf ofthe 'I‘euantry did not receive an ample quid pro quo. . . Having thus shown, as brieﬂy as the subject would admit of, that Mr. COOPEa’s attempts to justify his conduct towards the Tenantry has proved a failure, and that the statements. 1 made are fully borne out, even by his own explanation of them, I shull,for the present, leave him to reflect upon the immense evil which his pernicious and impracticable schemes have entailed upon the colony, in the hope, that whether he remains here, or again seeks a home elsewhere ——Of which a rumour is prevalent in the Township—he Will liVe to see the error of his ways. 1 must not, however, con- clude without expressing my individual obligation to Mr. COOPER, for his desire to elevate me—an humble cultivator of tliesoil—to the station ofa gentleman; and to addtp my elevation an animal income equal in amount 'to his nine years’ harvest of agitation. It is a great misfortune that good wisliesrhave so little inﬂuence in advancing a_ man s interest, orI might turn Mr. CODPERTS good intentions to some account; as it is, I must be satisﬁed to take the Will for the deed. Yours, 8w. ’ AN ELEcroa or Bay Fortune, February 21, 1842.
