It was imperative that at the earliest moment an expression of opinion should be given by the Legislature of this Colony in reference to our fisheries, for 1t might be called upon at any moment to state its views on the matter. It was well to cultivate friendly relations with the Americans, and therefore power. fish in our ports; but our inshore fisheries should be watched and guarded with a jealous eye.”” The Hon. F. Brecken spoke decidedly in favor of not giving up our rights cheaply Look,” said he ‘at the trade advantages Great Britain gave to the United States in the repeal of her navigation laws; but these advantages are not reciprocated by the latter in one single instance. Why should we offer advantages to those who offer us nothing in return? Let us hold fast to our rights and have a litile patience, and it will come all right before long. There are other great questions which affect American Trade, and which will shortly come up for the consideration of their Government The man.of the Western States has no means of transporting his produce to the sea board, and therefore will want the navigation of the river St. Lawrence. When the Alabama claims are fully settled, free trade will soon follow. Let the people of these Provinces show the Americans that they are not prepared to barter away their great privileges unless they receive equal value im return. There is no doubt that if the people of these Colo- nies uct as every great commercial people acts, we shail have reciprocity with the United States.” Hon. Daniel Davies said, ‘‘I am perfectly willing to buld out all reasonable induce- ments to the American fishermen to come to our ports and get their supplies and to the transhipment of their fish; Lut J will not give up all our rights for nothing.”’ Hon. Mr. Duncan also said, “while I admit as frankly as any hon. member, that our trade with the United States, as carried on. was of great benefit to the people of the Island I am by no means desirous to have a one sided free trade. Jhope we shall re- tain our inshore fisheries ; they are all that is left to us as a people, and I have no idea of giving them up, and getting nothing in re- turn. I am not sure that I would object to the Government fitting out a cutter, or admitting those of the Dominion to our water for the protection of our inshore fisheries. Such a course would, at least, manifest a disposition on our part to do something towards the preservation of our rights.” Hon.

To THE EpTior or THE EXAMINER Sir,—In your editorial of the 14th inst, I read the following sentences: “ We cannot understand the Liberalism that makes a large clase of people | —though a minority--pay four-ninths of £20,000 per aunum, to sustain a system of Education from | which they derive very little benefit, and to which | they are conscientiously opposed. Some cf the Lib- erals, so called, sce no ijustice in this, Until they do, we cannot agr2e in our uotions of Liber- alism "’ Wishing to understand the exact quantum of Sentiment contained in the above extract, and the to restrict the meaving therein, to the extent in tended to be conveyed to your readers, I am in- | duced to ask if the following questions, which sug- gest themselves to my mind, arise legitimately out ot the words and sentiments contained in the ex tract. What difference, if any, in the meaning of the word Liberalism in the next previous sentence aud the same word in the extract I have mude? Who are the I.iberals, e0 called?) Who are the Liberals who see un injustice? and who are the Liberais who do not see an injustice? Who are the class of people that mukes another iarge class of people pay four-ninths of £20,000 to sustain a} system of edneation to which they are couscien- tiously opposed, and from which they derive very little Benefit? A correct understanding of a given subject. and the opinions of men on the sume, often prevents disputes which ivabitters the feelings, confuses the mind, and leacis to estrangement.
