Q-c. ‘ Mar I1‘ ri.I:aan vooii Excs:x.i.eitcr; We the Inhabitants of King's County. ltnvu thought it necessary to take into our consideration, a Ileepiitch lrnm the Right llon Earl Grey. Iler Majesty's Secretary for the Colonies ; dnted liotvning Street, flth February, I851 ; directing your attention to tho |.and eettlentent question. that some etitisfnctory at-rangeinetit of it eliould now take place. when the people are to have a larger share of con- trol over their publit: nlliiirs. We tire thankful, that we are allowed a larger share of control over our public afiiiirs. than we have hitheito enjoyed; and it lllttll be our study to exercise such control; to show. that an eesiiiiilutioit of our Colotiiitl Government. to British institutions, will not tend to weaken the Loyalty and attachment we have to Ilet Majesty's person and Goveruiiient. On up roiicliing the Lnttd settlement question. it is necessary to pretiiise t t labor is the foundation of property and the support of all Cuvarniiieiits ; and while labor supports governtiteiit; it looks to the nvernment for protection ; especuilly ngiiinai the designs of insidious men who assume a specious authority to posses tliemselvea of the fruits of other irieii'a labor. When government and labor up- hold eticli other. property is nccumulated. and becomes the bond of civilized society; and the fruit of such tiiuturtl support and protec- tion ie the political and social well-bein of the coiiimutiity. But the failure of either party to perfortii their nlloted port-derniigcs the whole system. as every itifrection of the compact. between governttient and labor. has it witlieriiig influence oti the industry of the country. and a demoralizing effect. on its population. This Island wns granted up rently. to try ex, eritiit.-nta in coloni- zation, which did not auccu —the conditions of the grants were not performed, and tiller eotiic years had elapsed. the contlitfonr of the grants were a:iid to have been impriicticnble. In cases of tlto like nature, which had tnketi pltico in other colonies, the griiniecs resigned their grants to the crown or the goveruiiiertt reinvested the lands in the crowti by Eachent. But this Ialtititl was rtttgleclcd, nnd the most of the grantees resigned their grants for nmuil ct-mri. derntiom-, to speculators. who tried nnotlter experiment. Bflllilt sulijecta with more or less nicnns. were induced to emigrate to this colony. to become tenants. to bring the wild lands into cultivation- cotiecqucntly the reclniiintion of the wild ltind by the tenants’ labor and means, went to create in capital for the Landlord; and the rent which 1|... ten.-mt was to pay, is the interest upon such ciipitiil. Thur, Iulndi which lttttl been bought for ‘en than one limhing per acre, were lot at itn annual Rent of one shil.ing iitid upwards per acre! A proprietorship so usuriously ncquitetl.for the disturbance of fziiitilics ntid the unsettleinent of their homes, cannot be held in res- pect b nn enlightened ople. And when higher prices linte been given or the grantees‘ titles, it was not forjitny improvements which the former proprietors had made ; it is the im ruvetiteiits tiiride by the occupants and tenants, utid the arrenn 0 rent, wherebv the prices of the Townships are estittiuted. In cases where this ‘crops nd fnilcd. tenants rind occupants were supplied with Iced by the colonial authorities froiti the Revenue ; and the lnnd Asaeertiiient for the iiiiproveiitent of the colony. was ptiid by the occupniits rind tenants in addition to their rents. therefore it in not the proprietors but workmen, and the agricultural population, who have given to this colony its present value. Had the government enforced the forfeiture of the grants, nit has been the practice in other colonies. and in two cases in this Island; a landlord's claitii ton tenant's labor and property could not hnvg existed, nor any ind cement for a land a ieculntor to deprive his more us..-ful fellow-subject of the fruits of liia labor and industry. The relationship ‘ ' ing between Landlord and Tenant in Great Britain. has led man who are unncquninted with the nature of our cans. to suppose a li e relationship to subsiu here ; whereas it is altogether dill'erent in Great Britain. the Landlord has an in- defensible title to his Land. with all the improvements and fixtures. the movenblea only, is the property of the tenant, and the rent re- quired. is barely common interest on the landlord's capital. But in this Island; the lendlord’n title to the land is forfeited to the crown. and all the in. wvemente u it the land, together with tnoveablee and fixtures. is the property 0 the tenant. But while the landlords have suilicient influence nt the Colonial olfice to prevent the enforcement of the forfeiture, they are let! iti possession of the tenants‘ property and consequently. by the ntm-performance of the conditions of the grants, the Landlord gains an estate ; improved by the labor and inetina of British subjects who have been left un- protected. and as the rent required in more than the tenant can pity, the Landlord is enabled to exercise an influence over the mind and actions of his tenant. to deprive hint of free-will, and of power to seek redress. no that there is no medium left for the tenant between alfect submission to the Landlord. or to stand in open deli.-inee. The repeated applications which have been made to Her Majes- ty's Government, especially since the year I832; to reveal the for- feited lunds iii the crown. appeared to be the only constitutional way to do justice to all the prirties interested. I"rt.-eliold settlers might hiive been secured in tlioir possessions ; the 'I‘ennntry would have been willing to pity for the fee-simple interest of their leneeltuld. iiccordiiig to the value of wilderness land. which payment would have constituted ti fund. to have satisfied any cluiins which might have appeared to be due in equity. and nlson provision lor any widows and orpliiinrt, vtbose support arose from the rents. But pur- cltnsers of the original grunts. who were well infornied of the lorft-it- ure oftlie grnntces' title to tlte land. and depended upon their own superior skill and contrivnnce-—to enroll tenants--to diaposaen occu- pnnts—to recover arrears of rent. and to misrepresent the tenants rind their claims at the Colonial Ollice. so as to gain an estate in the tenants‘ improvements. are considered to be unworthy of such indulgence here. It appears that Her Majesty's Colonial Secretary is anxious and desirious that a satisfactory arrangement should now take place. bv an equitable adjustment between Landlord and Tenant. If this cttn be etfected, it will no doubt satisfy the Agricultural pulntion. But it in lnriienteble that Her Majesty's Minister. while ing out Justice and Equity to the people of this Colon for the brat titiie; should suppose a case would occur. that would melts it aeceeaa y to bring troops from another province. amongst a peaceably disposed rural populntioii. In Great Britain. cases might occur. where it would be neces- envy for the tenants ton ply to their landlords for n mitigation of their rents; a failure o the crops. or an overflow of the markets with foreign Produce. would make it the interest of landlord and tenant. to come to an amicable arrangement with each other. as the ruin and loss of such a teueutry. could not be supplied by im- irtl ration. at in this country. the landlords are quite a difl'ereitt class of men. wboin order to secure an estate for themselves. must get rid of the tennntry and their claims. and flnd it is roost for their interest to dispoaeess them and sell their improvernente to immigrants. It is a well known fact. that Agriculture. carried on with capital rind hired labour. hits never been successful here; therefore. Farm- ing ie not a profitable investment for capital. except where it is oun- itected with acute other eetnbliabtuan‘. or ollica; consequently. the tenantry, and their families are perforntiug the labor. and duties of husbandry. for a less . cotnpsuca than lnbourer’s wngael But to induce an influx of immigrants with capital. to give a teruporery rise to the value of property. and bu the tenant's improvements would be a profltnble epeeu ntion for‘ t Proprietors. however rent the loan and disappointment would be. to many welld' in- destrlone families Yet such are the consequences when Govern- niertt is misinformed and allows a clan of man to assume a ppzaoes authority. to poaeam tbariieelvee oftlie fruits of other u.ten‘e n r. While the Proprietors have such lucrative prospects before there. eouutenenead by the Colonial Minister, the taitnntry are eutnrtiog under a grievous wrong; end where their interests are so much at variance with such other. it will be necessary. and we prn , that any arrangement to be mode between them. come thinfifit our Excellency. and if it iejast and equitable.

Labor is well entitled tn the protection oftioverameat. especially against the designs of iiinidiouit men. attd it is the duty of the G9. vernnient. nlao, to guard the laborious population from the uanehi. nations of those who if they do not eeeuine n specious authority, to po-uoss tlii-involves of the fruits of other ineu's lnbor. ofleu user- else the influence which they possess. to niialetitl their less educated and inf--rrited fellow man. by holding out promises and hopes to them. which they well know cannot be realized, in order to obtain politicnl tiat-end:tiic_v amongst them, thereby creating discontent, and by continninga it.-tion, diverting the attention of the Le isloturu front iitany u-e til objects. and from remedying the reel riuveneee which would better the condition of the lttborioue popit alien, and consequently benefit the whole coiiiniuiiity.

Nothing. liowever,cnn be more unfounded. youfiill take the moat cifectual menus in your powerfor making it gene- rally known. that even should Ilia Majesty baedvieed in any case to proceed against lands liable to forfeiture. the Crown would in the event of its success. step exactly into the place of the former pvopri. etnr. and would enforce the observance of any Contract. which might have been made by the 'I‘t.-nant, and that under no circum. stances. which it is poaei le to entici to. would tnitoue grants of land he conceded to any person w atever." W ile in the very DOIWIICII of Earl Gre -. to which you direct my attention. dated 12th February 185], Ilia Lordship enya “it in only In purpose now to state that Iler Majesty ‘a Government feol thetnaelyves bound to adhere to the decision so-repeatedly adopted by my predecessors in this ntrtlter. rind to state that both on the grounds of justice to the lrinded proprietors, and of the permnnet interests of Prince Edward Island. they regard such a mensure ne impracticable." Yet in the fires of these otters repented declarations on the part of the crown. your Address boldly asserts "that in this Island. the land- lord's title is forfeited to the crown. and all the improvements upon the land together with movenbles and fixtures. are the property of the Tenant." It is by such extraordinary and unfounded statements that the Tentintry are deceived ind misled. and the are further tnieled by the comparison which is iiiiide between t 9 eonnuio. which llllllltlll between Landlord and Tenant in Great Britain and I‘. I-2. Island. I can assure you. that in the country of which I am a native, the Tenants moveablee when he litils to fulfil his contracts. are its much liable to seizure as they me in this Island. You further stitto " that as all the rent required is more than the Tenant can pay, the Landlord is enabled to exercise an influence over the iuind and actions of his Tennnt to deprive him of frog will rind of power to seek redress. so that there is no medium loll for the 'l‘ennnt between abject submission to the Landlord. or to stand in open defiance." Now. no your rtddress etatea. rents are too high? that is a matter for nniicuhle arrangement; and I do not believe that the Landlords in this Colony (there may be exceptions) are unwilling to listen to and redress any just grievance which their Tenuntry may be subject to. I was not aware until now that the Tennntr of King's County were in such an abject state of submission to t ir Landlords, an enabled them to exercise an influence over their minds, so as to da- prive them of free will. Ifthe will, therefore. suggest to me any other mode than what the who e tenor of their address aims at. the confiscation of property. I will do all in my power to place them in a lean degrriding position than the one in which. to my astonishment. they cortfeee themselves to be—end as Lord Grey euueeta. "I will use all the influence which I may pauses. and give my beat easie- tunce. with a view of preparing any Legislative measure which me be required to complete any amicable arrangement between La lord and Tenant - I deeply comrnisernte with those poor people who. I understand. have o en been induced to go into the wilderness without an ital. agreeing to pay on short tetins niora than their labour wou|d’pro- duce; and us is sure to follow. getting into debt. eabjaeting them- selves to ejectment. and thus losing the fruits of the only property they ever , the fruits of their labour. I am of opinion that it will be the interest of Landlords, an I hope it is their inclination, to grant lenses of very lo duration. with an option for cfi Tenn: to rchnse; all such questions us these are‘ lit subjects for amicable an equitable adjustment. But slionld the tenentry adopt tbs orb" alternative stated in your address. namely. to stand in upende- linncu. then I frenlrly tell you that they must abide the cause- uencea. ' If you think laws are oppressive and unjust. point out to me where the oppression and lnjnstiae lies. and I will. with the aid of the Legislature. do every thing in my power to re. medy their defects; but while these laws exist it becomes my duty to name to you my determination to maintain and uphold there. In conclusion your address informs me that the land amusement wea.paid by the occupant and tenant in addition to their tests; that ots. it is not the proprietors but worhinsu and the agricultural pop_u|jetiou who have given to this Colony its present value. in in snottisr most a siutsuiuut. tending to mislead the wnrtintsn and agriculture population. Your eddrase to have told them tlteti tenants and aeeupente agree to pay taxes and public burthene over and above their route. they are bound in thb. as in all other countries to fulfil their covenants; your address ought to have told them also. that the eivil expense oftbe Gsvsrutuaat of this Colony east the tax-payers of Great Britain up to last year two hundred and ninety two thousand pounds HOFIII‘. and that a large amount of the revenue belonging to Her Majesty have been appro- ' ted to the in-pvovuniant o the Colony. and consequently an- nced ltepvesertt velaazaiid your nddreaeautlteteinfavmlha ag- ricultural ptanlntiou that the wilderness leads of ptuprletarenre taxed ts dos e the amount afell other lands.
