Afr. 511th ;

In your issue of the 2nd October last. I observed .anotber lslti-r from the pen of Mr. Manuals Rowe. on ltbs subject of that most extraordinary letter of Sheriff illtllltl'l, to tho Administiutoi' of tho Oovcrniiicnt. ldated 15th August. 18.5.3. I was not aware, Sir. until I

l

some short timo ago. that such a document on on the records of tho Colony. utiil do not feel surprised that Mr. Kuwu should fool indignant thst Iut‘lt it foul slander should be fastened on tho people of tho Colony by tho action of its lmgislature at tho instance of 'l‘hos. Dodd. Now. what. was the mural: tltc lsito Government sud Legislature should have taken before they should allow such a charge to be inssrtrd in tho Journals? They might havo very on»:in asrortaiiicd if there was tho slightest foundation for such a chsrgo. vic: “That such o system of terrorism prevailed by which they us~ titnidatod the well-disposed utidor throots of burning their houses and toking their lives "3 Well. there wcrr two magistrates living in the locality spoken of; Mr. Motiioson. not a quarter of a mile from Josv-ph Doucstto‘s. on om» sido. and Mr. hutch. not more than half a mile on tho other. Why not. writs to those gen- tlemen. to know if such a stats of affairs prevsiled as Sheriff Dodd listed in his letter to the Administrator of the Government? Euron some persons undor such terrorism had it lied to the magistrates for protection.

Now. when r. Ro'c's first letter sppoared. few pounds believed that Mr. llndd wrote the lottor referred to. but morcly appended his home to something drawn out by another putty to justify the employ-ant of troo s on account of tho oxcited state of the Colony. but r. Dodd lias boon silent and loft no doubt on the subject.

I am not surprised that tho Government of 186.5 should osgcrly take hold of such a foul libel its thst contained ll Mr. Dodd‘s report. but I am at o loss to cancel" how a House of thirty members could pars it over without vindicating tho injured reputation of their fellow-colonists. But. for you. Mr. Editor. this letter would never have been made )ublic. as fow persons sea the Journals of the House 0 Assembly, and other papers refused to publish Mr. Rowe‘s lstlsr. or to take any notice of the ibol on tho pcoplo by Sheriff Dodd. But I trust there is indopendonco ouougli loft in tho Lo- gislaturo to buve the rasttor investigated, and to exoner— ate the people of the Colony from such a char c. When Mr. Dodd endeavored to obtuin a seat is the .c- gislaturo lust winter. fsw crsons know that he had written such a lettor; but lliould he attempt it s sin. be may probably hear about it. I challenge Mr. odd

But Mr.‘

littlo good. as for as mental improvement is concerned. ‘Tho illustrious Fonolon. when bo first announced the Inow accepted proverb thitt there is no royal road to lknowlodgo. atnascd his royal pupil. itliat the modern lecturer ond dobater. fro tbe_ port corerod some royal road to knowledge not discovered 'hy Fcnolon sud those other eminent scholars who have preceded and succeeded him. The midnight oil of

Erasmus, and tho ssvoro study of Pascal‘s hottrs of

solitude and sickness, an altogether dispensed with by msoy modern occupants of the litorst'y tribuss. We do not wish to apply those remarks to this community in particular. but if they possess any force or pungoncy. we trust they will be taken to heart when most rc- quirod.

We notice .that the Charlottetown Dobatiog Sooioty and the Young llons‘ Christian Assootstiou have already cossmoncod their session. Of the former. we will say Inothing further than is implied in the goncrsl tenor of ,our remaiks. Of the Christian Association. wc beg to liliroct attention to one paragraph which occurs in on opening addiess dolivcrod before that Association by l“ Prefiident. Mr. Heard. which. as foreshadowing

.llle. programme ol the Association. betrays either a ’wsut of knowledge of the construction of the English langusgo. or it and lack of Christian charity stud libor- ulity. The paragraph which has attroctod our sttontion is the following:

" Do vou ask me now. How is the Associstion to be governed in futuro? I reply. the yearly tickets for numbers are 5a.. which will admit to all the pt‘iviloges of the Lecture. Residing Room, &c.; with one cacop~ lion. namely. in order to preserve this Christian char» actor of tho Institution. only mombors of Protestant Churches will be eligible for office. In all other ros- pocts thsro will bu no distinction. so long as the rules of tho Association are observed. There are ulso siugls tickets st 1.. 6d. each for admission to tho Lscturos, and family tickets at 35. each.

Now. it' tho learned l’rusidrnt meant by the foregoing that Protcstant Churches slono arc deserving of the title of "Christian character.“ he is possessed of a narrower disposition than we gsvo llllll credit for; but if he ntcttnt. as we font-y he did. that membch alone. in coiitrsdistiiiction to turn adltcmsls of Pro- testant Churches, woro ontitlod to the privileges of the Association, we leave the public tojudgc of the quali- fications rcquircd for the position of President of a Literary Association. With all duo deference to tho tslont and position of tho various Literary Institutions at present existing in Charlottetown. we would hint that then is not sutficiont learning and tslont in tho whole community to sustsin rsspsstably one first~class Literary Association. and the exnsriouco of the past low years has fully shown tho folly of atlenpling ing to keep in a sickly state of existence four or flu diffsront institutions. pretending to havo one object in view. namely—a diffusion of knowledge. and the form- ing a correct litorsry taste. 'I‘ho old Mechanics‘ Insti- tute, we have no hesitation in saying. was by for the roost comprehensive and useful literary Association ovor found in this Colony. Boscd upon a broad plat- form, it commanded tho sorvicos of every cducatod man in the Colony. it-rospoctivo of Ms roligioos or po- litical creed. and from them, as might naturally be ox~ psotod. the young and inquiring tiiiud received an hr- petul and direction which have been of tho utmost od- vsntoge up to the present hour. To dosoribs tho msn~ nor in which one of tho lstor Literary Institutions is c onductcd. is at onco to expose its futility for all usofbl purposes. A lot of rather ancient gootlsmen. with clongntod visages. itnd prssuming upon their member- ship with sonto Christian Church. tasst together. and.

fora particle of roof for his assertion that the people of the locality wlioro Joseph Doucotto resides. or any; other locality tit the Island. were attempting one; anothor's lives or property. and I trust. when the Lie- gislaturo meets. ho will bu called on to do so. and if he cannot. he must stand convicted of uttering a malicious and wilt'ul libol on his follow-countrymen. whose patron- age has loft hint what he is.

In conclusion. Mr. Editor. I trust. as you are u memv her of the Le islaturo. and have always spoken out freely as a pu lio journalist in favor of the working classes. that you will use your influence to have this stsin rclnuvod from tho churactcr of your countrymen.
