It is at- tributed to the prolific and charming pen of Hon. T. D. McGee. We have not room for the whole of the letter, but subjoin some interesting extracts from the descriptive por- tues, and having finished this task, he intro- ducee his readers to the old Houses of Parlia- oceupied by the throne, is now tenanted by a} very fine marble full length statue of George | i{l.

The | writer next introduces his readers to “ Old) Trinity’? and its glorious library, which, he says, is one of the richest treasure bouses of European learning.’’ He next conducts us to Phoenix Park, and other public squares of Dublin, and briefly describes their exquisite beauty, We quoze the closing part of the letter; “A word, now, as to the Phenix Park and publie squares ef Dublin. The only time we could command for seeing the former was early morning ; so off we set on Saturday last about Six. We drove for nearly four hours in every direc- tion through that unequalled piece of town land. It is much improved by art at some poiuts, by the new plantations, fences and footpaths. ‘The dew of early day was on everything, from the grass and leaves to. the deer and cattle, which looked listless as we passed. The natural varieties o! the ground; its swelling ridges; deils and littl: lakes; its groups of fine old trees, chiefly oaks and ashes; its denser wasses of greenery, spotting long open spaces of sw ard, giving a va- riety and freshness to the Phoenix, not usually met with in city parks. The great squares with- in the city such as Stephen’s Green and Merrion Square, are inall respects miniatures of the greab park beyond King’s Bridge. During the evenings they are filled with gay dresses and pleytul ebil- dren. They are not, 1 regret to say, open gener- ally to the public; as i think they ought to be, and, with every safety, should be.” On the whole, then, Dublin is improved. Railways have concentrated the country gea- try here to a greatextent. An undergrowth aristocracy —not witbout huge faults and fol- lies—are centring in the chief city. The counties will miss their presence and their expenditure ; but what do they care? This aristocracy, unlike the English and Scotch. live for enjoyment rather than labour.

The appeal must, therefore, be made to those in- terested. The writer of this, wishing to secure a certain grave in the Cemetery, went to much expense—though little able to afford it—to have a railing placed round the grave, and found it of no earthly use! since persons so inclined have—even since its erection— put thew bands either through or ovgr the railing to gain what they would not take were if not for the pleasure of stealing. It there is no ‘‘law’’ to preserve this in a ci- vilized country, it says very little for the jus- tice of the Island.

Surely, while so wany Bazaars, ‘Tea Parties and Con- certs are got up, either for clerical presenta- tions, Church renovations, buildings, institu- tions, and even amusements, something could be devised by which funds could be raised, if required, to put a stop to this evil, which 18 a disgrace to the City. The Roman VCatho- lies have set the example, and have com- menced improvements to their cemetery, even without any public appeal being made for funds; but if it were necessary in the other case, there are many who would be only too glad to subseribe to anything that might be proposed. The necessary funds could be easily raised, by one of the usual modes, to erect a sort of sma]!

Mr. Whelan pever con- demned the tenantry for any “endeavour” on their part to become freeholders “ in a legitimate way.” For twenty two years he has advocated their cause, consistently and unflinchingly, and for eighteen years of that time he has been their advocate, to the best of his ability, inthe Legisla- ture. He has given his earnest support to every measure which had a tendency to ameliorate their condition,—the Purchase Bill, under whose pro- visioys thousands of unfortunate tenants have been converted into happy and independent free- holders, received at all times, in its application to every estate affected by it, his warm and zealous support. That Bill points out the only “ legitimate way” known to us of converting large numbers of tenauts into freeholders. The “ way ” preposed by the League is not in all respects “ legiti- wate,” as we proved last week by the quotation of their most obnoxious pledge. “Mr. Whelan has joined the ranks of the pro- prietors !’ So says this clumsy libeller, but where is the proof of the fact? It will be found, we may he told, in the circumstance of his not coun- tenancing the Tenant League. But that is no proof of his leaning towards landlordism. Mi. Whelan heretofore urged the establishment of Tenant Leagues, but he was never so mad as to propose that they should be based on the princi- ple of ‘yesisting the law unless the Leaguers had their ewn way in their dealings with the land- holders. At the commencement of the present League, Mr. Whelan and Mr. Coles were beth distinetly told that their countenance or support was not required--that, in fact, they and all other politicians connected with the Legislature, were If they had consented to allow their names to be connected with it, we are very certain that they would most einphatically discountenance the propesal to resist to be excluded from the League. the law; and that is, no doubt, the reason why they were excluded. Now, let us ask, have Mr. Coles and the rest of the Liberal minority in the Ilouse of Assembly — as well as Mr. Whelan — “joined the ranks of the proprietors?” They are The League has been more than a year in ex- istence, and in that time it hae done nothing estate is not yet settled in freehold. Ten years hence, when the settlers on that estate shall have paid their instalments in full, they will be entitled to a deed in fee; they are yet tenants; and if they enter into an arrangement of this kind with his tenants long before the Tenant League was thought of. As regards the purchase by the ‘Fenants, under the auspices of the League, of Mr. Bourke’s three thousand acres of squatter land at Little Hell, we have heard nothing of it lately. Mr. Bourke is said to have purchased this great estate, under a bad or defective title, for one hundred pounds sterling; and if he enfran- chised those whom he claims as his tenants, at twelve shillings an acre, he would make a very good thing of it for himself, but he would not add over twenty to the whole number of freehulders in the Colony. It is no use in mincing this matter,—we must speak plainly. Ifthe men who guide the move- ments of the League are quite horest in their in- tentions, (which is a matter of doubt as regards some of them), it is certain that they are deficient in judgment, if they supposed, for ene moment, that they could compel any proprietor to accept their terms. ‘Their proposal to use force, if ne- cessary, in resisting the payment of rent, eannot fail to put a stopper on all attempted negociations with the proprietors. The latter may deal with their tenants, as such, for the transfer of their preperty, as in the case of Mr. Haythorne and his tenants; but to deal with the League, as an organ- ized Society, we may rest assured, they never will. The League has no charter—has no incorporated powers, and cannot possibly acquire them. It has no men of mark or influence in its ranks— not a member of either party in the Legislature who would have the courage to avow his eonnec- tion with it—.t has forfeited all elain to honourable reeognition from law-abiding members of society by the adoption of a foohsh and im- potent threat as one of the first principles of its constitution. Members of the Central Committee of the League boasted, at ther last monthly meet. ing, that they have fifteen thousand members We do not know how they have taken, and kept, count of their number. it be by the amount of subscriptions received, and honestly accounted for, we should think the number would fall very far short of fifteen thousand. It is a rule in the Society, we under- in their society. all, without a single exception, opposed to the League. At least there ia not one man in the whole twelve of the minority in the House of members in the Council—who has_ publicly avowed his approval of the priuciples set forth by stand, that every member shall contribute some- thing towards its funds.

According to the news received from home, ouy- ministerial delegates are meeting with all the success we could reasonably desire. The ( Messrs. Galt and Cartier, even before their eal. leagues, the Hon. Messrs. MeDonald and B had arrived, were entertained by one of the oldest commercial corporations at a banquet, and since then the whole four have met with the greatest courtesy from all quarters, beginning with Her Gracious Majesty the Queen herself, who evident. ly has no great sympathy with that class of tical economists who would preue the empire af an oad group of Colonies bere and there, as the duty of defending them may, for the time being, appear somewhat onerous It is not a lity refreshing, either, to find that, after all the learned military engineering criticism expended Upon proving Upper Canada to be innnpallied of adequate fortification and defenee, the Horse Guards have taken up the subjeet, and arrived at an e opposite conclusion. This we trust will ae our brethren of the West, the sturdy wheat pro ducers of the Peninsula, that they are not to be ieft to the tender mercies of Unele Samuel, tobe gobbled up whenever he gets into a tiff with Joby Bull. We learn, also, that while the Brituh Government has no thought of coercing the Mari- time Provinces into an acceptance, noleas of Confederation, neither dees it intead te suit itself to their caprices. It is clear that Confede ration is regarded as a necessity im view of a proper system of defence, and that the Provinces _ which oppose it will be given to understand must assume much greater burdens than they otherwise would, in order te seeure any operation on the part of the mother eountry, ‘th may minister, perhaps, to the self-importanee ef some of the ambitious politicians in Prinee Edward Island and elsewhere, to resist a measure which would possibly have the effect of ruling them out of the front; but the general interests of the whole of British North America ought to be paramount. And then, those gentlemen should be comforted by the eonsvlation that in a larger field their talents may, after all, achieve for them much better places than any they now occupy, or ean hope to attain ia eonneetion with their own governments. There will not be so many Miniaters | of Finance needed, not so many Postmasters General, not so many State Secretaries, &e., &e., but there will be positions fully equal to any they” may be ealled upon to relinquish, besides chance ef rising to distinctions worthy of the name, and worthy te be aspired after.

HUMANITAS. Che Craniner. Charlottetown, June 19, 1865. iad TUE TENANT LEAGUE. WE promised to say something more about the Tenant Union, or Tenant League, by which name it is better known and oftener mentioned; and as our article of last week seems to have made con- siderable progress towards earning for us the en- wity of the party, we may as well secure their indignation in bulk rather than seeking to esta- blish a claim to it by instalments. But, 1 the first place, we must settle a little matter with our contemporary, Koss’s Weelly. We will do justice to our friend Ross by express- ing our belief that he did not write a line of the long and violent article that forms the leader in his last paper. He has too much good nature to fa- bricate so much uutruthfulness and walignity as it contains; and though he is not a man of shin- ing abilities, we feel assured he could easily have produced a much better article than the clumsy, sloveuly, illogieal and ungrammatical thing, which, from a friendly feeling towards the writer, per- haps, he nas suffered to disgrace his columns. The writer of the article referred to—who, by the bye, claims the bonor of having long worked * side by side” with Mr. Whelan in the same field of polities, although Mr. W. knows nothing at all of the individual, and, indeed, wants to know nothing—deliberately asserts that we accused the Tenant League people with setting fire to Mr. MeDonald’s barns. The writer in the Weekly says :— As svou as the news came to town the ‘Examiner’ published it, and stated at the time that ‘uo doubt existed but that it could be traced home to the Tenant League.’” We are not in the habit of writing jn this clumsy style; and we have no hesitation in saying that the above ex- tract, pyrperting to haye been taken from the Examiner, is a gross forgery, and never appeared in this paper, Although the wriler may be the wost ipsignificant fellow in town, as no doubt be is— we will net allow him to misquote and mis- represent us. In our No. of the 12th June, wherein the * news” of the burning is first noticed, we remarked as follows: “ Whether the out- rage can be traced to the Tenant League, we are not prepared to say. They are undoubtedly blamed for ft.” And the writer in the Weekly says that inour last issue we devoted nearly two columns to substantiate the charge against the League. This is another deliberate falsehood. The article in our last No. searcely filled 14 columns, aud was chiefly devoted to general ob- servations on the mischievous tendency and prin- ciples of the Tenant League. As we did not charge any members of the League with setting fire to the Tracadie barns, we had no need to “substantiate” the charge. We stated the plain, indisputable fact, that the fire could not, by any possibility, have been accidental, as the premises were deseried by their owner—they were not in- sured by him, and he could have no motive for burning them— and that their destruction occurred shortly after he had served some writs on his re- precious fraternity. Hesays:—* When Mr. Whe- lan attempted to show that resistance to the law and the collection of rent was one of the first prin- ciples of the Society, he must have known what he was stating was untrue.” In the next sentence the writer says: —‘* They” (the Leaguers,) “only refuse to pay the rent in those cases, and use their resolution”? — (that ig. the Pledge) — “as a means to bring those proprietors to terms who refuse to listen to the fair and reasonable propositions of the tenants. Resistance to the payment of rent is auly the dest resort of the tenantry, when every other means have failed.” Is it not quite clear that the second sentence here quoted contradicts the first? Resistance will be resorted to, when the proposals of the League are not accepted by the proprietors ; and the League are to be the judges of what are “ fair and reasonable propositions!’ The coolness of impudence which prompted this declaration could only emanate from men thoroughly un- principled and dishonest, and foolish, as they will find themselves to be weak, in attempting to put their threat in execution. We shall give one more extract from the Weekly, and then we shall throw the paper away. The fulse and dishonest advocate of the League says :— “Tt must be remembered that this organization of the people did not spring into existence until the schemes of politicians of every shade have failed — until they had been humbugged by fair and false promises, first by Mr. Whelan, and then by Mr. Pove”” Mr. Whelan sever lent himself to any “schemes” but honest ones, in connection with the Land Question, or any other other ques- tion,—he made no “false promises” at any time, during the whole course of his political hfe. He strenuously advocated the Purchase Bill, which, it is well known, did not fail in making a great many freeholders in the place of tenants. We are not bound to speak for Mr. Pope, but we be- lieve he is as blameless in this respect as Mr. Whelan is. Now that we have disposed of the Weelly’s rubbish, we shail offer a few remarks coucerning the League. They propose to settle a question, of ail others the most essentially political, inde- pendent of political parties. How ean they do it? Their foolish pledge will not enable them to do it. The attempt to carry out that pledge will only exasperate the proprietors, and induce them to adopt harsh measures towards their tenantry. The proprietors will sue for the arrears of rent more perseveringly and obstinately than if “resistance” were not threatened. It is not for the proprietors to know that lawless resistance, with all the tin trumpets that can be made from now until dooms- day, will be sufficient to overcome the civil autho- rity. The Courts of Law are bound to execute writs and processes of all kinds, when they are demanded. If the Civil Power fails—what next? Avarchy—which would be the result of an organ- ized resistance te the Civil Authority—must be put down by some means, and we know of no other but military force. We hope and bélieve that such a force will not be required; but as sure as resistance to the civil power assumes a furmid- able attitude —if that resistance be such as to paralyze the civil power —a military force will supercede it; aud it is nut difficult to guess where the blowers of the tin trumpets would be in a ,Cusanb tenantry. We left the public to draw contest with the military, an illegal principie is really in force amongst the | the branch Treasuries besides [he sixty odd } ability necessary to render suecess certain, if We may be sure, if if bas, the) | pounds in Gank. sum is very trifling. The League, or the mangers not hopelessly foolish in money matters. | know the value of a dellar or a pound as well as most men; and we may take it for granted that ! they would not allow many dollars or pounds to! remain scattered amongst the branch treasuries, especially if an itching of the palm was suspected to exist there-about, while the bulk of their capital was deposited in Bank, We allude to these matters, not fur the pur- pose of paying off an old score for the calumnies that the League men have heaped upon us, fram time to time, or for the libels published against us by their organ; but what we have written has been done in the interest of society at large, and in the interest of the tenantry especially, We want to protect society, if possible, against the distrust and anarchy which such societies as the Tenant League are calculated to create. We don’t want to see this land under martia! law, or even disgraced, as it now is, by proclamations offering rewards for the arrest of house-burners, We should like to encourage immigration to our shores; but the Tenant League deters it. Who would think of settling in a land so violently dis- turbed as this is? We want men of capital and enterprise to turn our great natural resources to some account; but would any man of wealth dream of investing @ peund in 9 country where property is insecure, and where life must always be considered in peril from the very insecurity of property? We want, above all, to warn the tenantry against the delusion and snare which the League spreads for them. It has nothing at They !

Our next pews will | likely be of a more decided nature, and it wil m , j therefore be luoked for with much interest. of it, unwise as they are in other respects, ate} Ee ANNEXATION. J’eriodieally we have, in seme one locality or anoti'er in the West, (that is, commeneing in the District of Montreal and ending at the jumping off plac.*s imto Unele Sam's dominions) some shock of #tmexation mere or less severe. Ab times it is a were rumbling neise, at most times, we may say, fv.” there was but ene eceasion wher the pent up gas8 broke throngh the ernst ite something of an e.7 plesion, which, however, not cause any very Wide spread damage. We have come again to on? of the grumbling periods, but in using the “we” Jt 18 not eur purpose to intimate that any one in the District of Quebes, that we know of, aod certainly not any number of persons, are talking annexation or wishing annexation. We simply mean that in one or two odd places in Upper Canada the subject seems te engage attention and discussion. What these good people can see very inviting in the United States to lead them to desire reliet from allegiance to Great Britain, and a politica! annexation with the great American Republic, we are at 3 Joss to discover, and apprehend that they are impesed upon by mere surface appearances. They #¢, probably, a good many restless Americans, whe seem to have money to spend, and who oe ready to invest, or to propose to invest large sun® im anything which promises good returns; but these speculators and explorers, though bearing sume resemblance in character to the mass of their countrymen, are not to be taken as indica- ting the general condition of society, in respect of the relations between income and expenditure. Hundreds, and probably thousands, mostly wo- scrupulous men, who managed to create opportu- nities of great gain during the war, have pockets well lined with greenbacks, and having but iu- different confidence in them, as we may see by the advance in the price of gold, are anxious to part with them for unning locations, oil lands, of anything else possessing a real value; but the all like the wealth or numbers which its intriguing leaders says it possesses. Men of from it. It is under the ban of the law. It is incapable of effecting any good purpuse, as now organized. It can make no progress towards abolishing the leasehold tenure, because proprie- tors, in general, will never think of dealing with a society which holds out a threat. It cannot lessen the number of distraints for rent; \it only enormously increases them by encourag- jing the tenant to run in arrears and assume an | attitude of defiance towards his landlord. The silly use of the tin trumpet may occasionally frighten a cowardly bailiff; but the majesty of the law does not sink with the quivering bailiff. It is not a question whether Catchpole Curtis, or any other catchpole, shall be allowed to serve a writ in this settlement or that--the point at issue is not whether any particular proprietor—no matter whether his title is good, bad, or indifferent—shal] levy for rent,—but it is, Shall the power of the Crown be upheld or overthrown ? Must Law and Order be set aside, and Chaos cowe again, because a few foolish men have organized themselves inte a League, and have taken as an iostrument of terror aga‘nst their foes a two-penny tin trumpet? The whole organization is based upon the most palpable delusion, and might be laughed at, only that it is calculated to bring distress upon its yie- tims, and give a bad character to the whole community. Ins little while, however, we hope to see the eyes of the tenantry thoroughly opened to the folly of connecting themselves with this mischievous thing. In the southern parts of { King’s County, where it was first organized, it character, position and inflvence keep aloof) working men of the Republic cannot, with theit j larger nominal earnings—compared with the earnings of the same classes in Canada—preewe the domestic comforts our labouring people enjoy. It is true that provisions, clothing, rents, other things essential to dcmestic comfort have fallen in price, but they are yet quite exorbitant; and we have good reason to believe that on dollar in Canada will, as a general thing, buf twice as much cowfort as two dollars in the United States; and in some parts of the Unit States the difference ie much larger still. We have reason to know that there is an immevs? amount of misery in all the large cities, and, ® fact, in most of the cities and towns. There ® more beggary and destitution in New York alone, twice told, and, perhaps ten times than in all Canada, and the prospects for diminution are not by any means very cheeritif- These facts are not so widely known among 0Uf people as they ought to be, and many are there fore imposed upon by the glare and pretence? which torm so large a part of American tacti® The hordes of skedaddlers who Lave skulked inl the Province during the war, have had a five OF portunity of talking tall—to use their own slang —to our working classes, and as a consequence thousands are going over to the country from which the tall talkers came: but we shall be much mistaken, indeed, if by far the large number do not learu to their sorrow, and whet is just about impossible for them—for want meups—to returo, thai they have made a te mistake.
