     were rapidly ietrr-grading. Tliiie would shew it lle Iiiiriself did

     Hon. Mr. C0l.li5 explained, that the reason why llis Excellen- 
     
     cy had not visited the District of the honorable riiember for llolliist. 
     
     was, that owing to the iriellicient state of the Charlottetown Ferry. 
     
     he hiid been ob!" ed to drive round in Georgetown; and he might 
     
     observe. that the.fionoreb|e member having frequent occasion to cross 
     
     the ferr . must have been very well aware of its inellicient irtate;.riid 
     
     had he discharged his duty. either as a representative of the people, ; 
     
     or us it mzigistriitc, he would have taken some steps to have the 
     
     irielliciency remedied. As to the dissatisfaction spoken of by the 
     
     honorable member, he (Mr. Colos) was prepared to admit. that 
     
     there was certainly much discontent and much reason for it among 
     
     the ple. But that discontent was not occasioned by tbi acts 
     
     of the present government. but had orixiriiiel i-i p-oprietnry domi- 
     
     intion. and ihi influinze exercised by the it u'. the Colonial Oilizi-. 
     
     The people believed (in spite of all the misrepresentations of such 
     
     crookors us the lionornble rnemher). that the present govt-rairient 
     
     would exert themselves to the utmost for the amelioration of the 
     
     grievances of the tenantry; and they would not be deceived. ‘As 
     
     to free lands. they had never been proriiised in the way in which , 
     
     the honorable member (Mr. Douse) wished to make it appear they 
     
     had. All that they had been encouraged to expect was. that by 
     
     means of an equitable purchase. from the proprietors. by the lo- 
     
     verrirnont, the it-.n:tntry might eventually be constituted proprietors 
     
     in fee simple; and this, he doubted not. would be nccoiiipltslretl 
     
     ere long. 'l‘li.'it the people had been deceived liy promises of free 
     
     lands. by means of escheat, was false. Aiviire that tlits frilsobood 
     
     had been eagerly circulated by the enemies of the present govern- 
     
     ment. he ha to on occasion, when present at a public meeting, on 
     
    

    
     19. at which liuudreds were assembled. to risk whether either 
     
     he or his friend (the llon. Mr. \Vnrburton). had ever given them 
     
     reason to expect free lauds by means of escheat; rind the iiriawor 
     
     wus—th.-it no such promises had been made to them; that they had 
     
     been cheated long enough by that promise, and tli:it all they ex- 
     
     pected from the present party tvas, that the would use their best 
     
     endeavours fort e gradual amelioration oft eir condition. What- 
     
     ever promises had been made to the people, by the party iioo_' in 
     
     power. had been made in good faith. nn with due consideration; 
     
     iinil the had ood reason to believe they would be able to accent- 
     
     plish their fulhlment. 
     
    

    
     Mr. DOUSE. in reply, said that his constituentri had beep iiiucli 
     
     disappointed in their not having received a visit from llis l'.xcellen- 
     
     cy. le would not pretend to say, what was the real cause of the 
     
     neglect. whether that the people of Belfast were support to be 
     
     too great tories to please llis I-Ixcelleuc on his Government. or 
     
     whether something else had occasion it; at. he, with lll.-I. con- 
     
     stituents, was very sorry, that they had been overlooked by llis bx- 
     
     eellency. Certain he wits. that bad His Excellency visited them, 
     
     the would have received hirri with much respect.

     of the one-ninth Bill. As it only provided that the Rents sliriuld_bc 
     
     paid at the rate at which they had previously been paid, according 
     
     to the agreement or understanding subsisting between landlords and 
     
     tenants, it was clearly quite uncalled for; and lie was very sure the 
     
     Home government would never sanction such unnecessary it 
     
     just interference with private contracts. It is eluted in t in Speech, 
     
     in repented in the Address. that cases have lately arisen 
     
    

    
     which fully justify the measure. He denied that there were any 
     
    
   
   
    
     one . 
     
    

    
     Ilr. MOONEY declared that he could. and would. if necessary. 
     
     produce documentary evidence to prove, tluit many such cases _had 
     
     arisen since the pa ngof the one-ninth Bill in the lititbsclllon. 
     
     Parties in opposition. said the Government had done nothing; but. 
     
     from the alarm which the one-niiith-Bill had occasioned t e par- 
     
     ties. it was very plain, that if they were in power, they would do

     that £5 sterling per aiinnin. per I00 acres. was much more
