The teuenl—ifhe is as frail, and as fond of" creature comforts" as the majority of nien—vvill consent, of course, and the embryo member and the “lord of hills and forests" will depart in high glee. But no sooner are their backs turned than a loud gulfaw from the It-unlit indicates his intentions. ’l'lianks to the lie-concealing and lie-encouraging ballot box, he will vote contrary to his promise, because the " eovrnptor" will be " ne'er the wiser!" When the time comes for " dropping the hits of paper," Mr. So-and-so finds that he is minus several liils—thst he is defeated; then the landlord fumes, and cries treachery, deception, and calls his tenants iiiird names. and perhaps will take advantage of the first opportunity tliiit ofiers to inconvenience some poor ninn who really lliil vole, according to promise, for Mr. So-and-so, while he who ivasforml lo prac- llse deception, will get olI'—if he pays his renl prciiipl|y—wilh only is suspicious seowl; if not, he will likewise sulibr unjuslly. Vote by ballot is nnli-Ilrilisli. True independence is the boast of Britaiii; and nowhere is it shown more truly than in the British Provinces on eleclioii day. See the burly. broad- chesled. horny-knucklsd, weather-lniiried, jovial fiirmer—proiid of his homespun suit—untcr_rilied by frowns, uiiliallcred by smiles-—walk up to the hustings, and pronounce, in a voice that tells that his lungs as well his heart are sound—“A pluiiiper for Mr. Getin!" is not that independence? is there a man in this Is|and—l care not to whet puny ho belongs-—whu does not feel proud in being able to let the multitude around lhc hust- ings know for whom he votes? And yet this Political Alliance would reform this manly British practise-this independent expression of Brilish pluck and cpenhcsrtedness—-and substi- lulellie sneaking, cowardly, uiiiiianly “ drop gaiiie!" Out upon such reforin! Are we slaves.’ Are we afraid to have it known that we vote for one whom we consider an honest man, regard- less of the opinions of othervi if the people want to introduce a stain of moral depravity into this Island, when every man will think his neighbour a rogue, and treat him as such, let them adopt the dropping-paper-into-a-box system at elections, and I venture to say they will not be disappointed. Any one at all N.-quaiiiled willi the United States, knows that there is far more trickery and corruption practised llierc at elections lhiin in lilo British Colonies. Did the Political Alli. snce ever hear of “spurious tickets?" in the Slnleii, pollllcul quack: and ehsrpers are always stationed around the polling- places, Will’! bundles of “ bite of paper," on the top of which are printed " Democratic ticket." while the body is unmis- takesbly Whig, and vice verse; and many ii poor “ naturalized American," not having had the use of u scliooliiinslt-r in his youth, is obliged lo vote in direct opposilion to his conscientious convictions. And there is no intimidation used, either. All on which the mail left. British loss trifling. American steamer was fired u n by Chinese fort, whereupon the United States’ frigate “ Portsmouth" pro- ceeded to destroy it.

Another reason, Mr. Editor, why I object to iii. ballot is this: The party who now favour it would, in times past, when they were in power, have pointed to the men who would have dared to insinuate that vote by ballot was necessary to complete the harmony of our political system, as a dangerous deiniigogne. and would have etlgmetined hiin, perhaps. as one who was endeavouring to overturn the " glorious constitution under which we live," as they turd to say. i am suspicious cflheir motives—I doubt their disintevestednese—l despiee their secret discussions; and unless they throw their meetings open so xlie public, and End something iuore worthy of reform than hcin-st. straightforward, independent wists eocc voting, 1 l'.gr'ili.

We would also call the attention of our representatives, end the country generally, to the views of our correspondent Runn- cue.
