ence of the Geverament hetore the Commissioners, as the guardians of public rights, although called on by the delegates of the tenantry so to do, con- veyed by their refusal to comply the tacit admis- sion that Government laid no claim to the lands of the Colony in any respect whatever. It, there- fore, follows that before the Cominissioners gave jn their award they must have been given clearly to understand, on the part of the Loca} Govern, ment, that the only matter submitted to their ar- bitvation was, whether or not there were any real matter of difference existing on the part of the tenantry, and that they assumed the Proprietors’ | claim to the soil te be indisputable.

Gray's resolutions, or rather on as much of them as the proprietors consented to, and that their decision of report, if cyrried into operation, would ouly effect the interest of the conseuting parties.

There js not much ia the preamble tw the Ke- sulutions, or in the different articles which follow, that were likely to produce any beneficial result to the tenantry, when the winagement of the Commission lay in a great measure within the

Te THE Eprror or ‘THe EXAMINER.

Sin,—The ‘ Protestant’ of the 8th inst. contains a slashing article, or rather what is intended to be a slashing article, onan editorial that appeared some Weeks age in ‘ Ross's Weekly’. 1 hope that friend Ross is not guite aunihilated. Your readers must not think that I have taken up my pen to take his part; he is quite able to fight his own battles without my poor assistance. But the writer in the ‘ Protestant’ — for I am loath te think that Mr. Lair wrote the very stupid, ill- vatured article in question—has made some gene- ral assertions which I am not disposed to pass by without comment. He has endeavoured to throw odium on those Protestants who hold it to be both unrighteous and impolitie te agitate religious questions et the hustings and in secular journals, Although the writer in the * Protestant’ endea- vours to play the eritie, I do not consider his own

He will also find the most glaring grammatical

dreary but abortive attempts to be ill-naturally wuty. The ‘ Protestant’ writer is particularly severe ou those Protestants whe advocate peace. He makes no seruple in saying “if we would en- joy long peace we must purchase it with strife.” What would be thought of sych an assertion pro- ceeding from the editor of the ‘ Examiner’ or the Rector of St. Dunstan’s? The ery of Catholie aggression and Catholic aseendaney would then be raised with some reason. This argument when plainly stated is this — because there are some cireumstauces in which war is necessary to secure lasting peace, thercfore it is the duty of Protes-|
