Sin; \Vhcn in any country a constitution has been determined upon, the lirst and, in many respects, most important duty that devoli-rs upon those entrusted with the administration of the govoriinicnt is to provide a revenue adequate to its necessities. I ' -ibsoluti-ly impos- sililc, tiizit u people can make any progress in civilization-—by which I mean the proper and porninno.-nt provision for the due niltiiirii~xtrn- tion of justice; the education of the people; the facilitating the inter- course between different parts of the country by roads, bridges, canals; the estiiblisliment of post offices. light-houses, &e.—untiI it has been provided with the means of originating and austiiming these objects, so essential to its well-being and prosperity. 'l‘be most equitable, its well as the most obvious mode is, that every iiiitii should contribute according to his ability : and this is in fact the end ivhicli all legislators profess to huve_ in view, when the ucstion of "ways and means" is entered upon. Ilnt how tltis is to accom. plished, is a point upon which all have more or less differed. As liiod—tiiking the word ‘land’ in the most comprehensive sense—li.-ia ever been held to be the source of all riclies, and the possessors thereof justly considered to be in possession of that ivenlllt tvhicli properly iiiployed is creative of every thing that man needs for subsistence, comfort, or luxury : a direct tax upon hind would seem not only to be the most just, but the readiest way of supplying the wants of the State. In newly discovered countries, however, the reverse is the fact. l.niid is, to it certain degree, wortliless, like every thing clse, of which there is in the market a supply greater than the demand, its value is at the lowest point of the scale, nor is it until the labor of man shall have rendered it capable of yielding an annual profit, that it increases in value, and even then that in- crease must be subject to many contingencies. Hence it is that land has not in America been resorted to as a permanent source of revenue, until after considerable lapses of time, frotn the institution of ilie respective governments; u propert tax, under one denomina- tion or another, in which cultivated Inn has always been included, has stibsistod almost from the coinmenceuient of each. The abso- lute necessity for roads and bridges in it new couutr compels the inhabitants at first to contribute their labor personalfy to their for- mation; but as few can be brought to work willingly for the public good, iiluiost one of the first law-s_ has been to regulate the propor. tion of labor that each should contribute, and compel the performance or exact ii line, b way of coiiipenaiition. In this case, as in many others, that wbic originated in necessity, has been continued from choirs, without much consider-tion as to whether the system was eligible or the reverse. 'l‘liis is one of the cases in which the sys- tem pursued in other colonies liuu been adopted in Prince Edward Island, without those modifications which its peculiar circumstances demanded. That roads and bridges could not have been ninde or constructed wiiliout the aid of what we all now understand by the term "Statute Labor,” is a fact which no one will presume to gainsny; but that it never occurred to‘the itiinds of the legislators, that inilividuzil proprietors were reaping the greatest proportion of the bcnelit of the labor of the people, until u coiisidteralile period after the calling of the Rcpresetitntivcs ofthe puople,tiiuitt excite no little surprise, and thiit surprise will be .€IcCl)I.IIpflnlf9d with some indignation, that when the fact was admitted it should have been productive of so iiicflicii-iit a provision ngiiinst so manifest iiri _iiijus- lice; nay, that it should only _li:ive had the cfli-ct of legalizing it. The preamble to the Proviticial Statute, 30th Gen. 3, cup. 7, re- cites "Flint many of the Lots or 'l'_owiisliips of Land in this Island ‘ are owned by persons not residing or llVlllg llIt'I't:lll, mid have ‘greatly’ been increased in value by the lligliwtiys, Roads, and ' liridgcs which have iit dilfcrcnt times been erected and made at ‘ the expense and b the hibor of His Majesty's subjects, inhabitants ' of this Island : rid wliereus tntiriy of the itiliiibttnnis have long ' cmnplnined, and do still cmiipl.-iiii of this neglect. on the part ofthe ‘ said proprietors, as it grievance that ought to be rcdresscd. truly ‘ alleging, that the said proprietors are benefited by their labor, titid ' at their expense, without having any proportion of it among them- ‘ selves.’ Nothing can be more correct than this, nor is the remedy prnpnsed—tlie leasing or selling it part of the goods or lands of the delinquent proprietors——nt all objectionable; but it is. at this time of day,dillicuit to ascertain why it was that no Toivnship should be liable to contribute, or should be assessed under the provisions of the Act,—‘ wherein a number of inhabitants, (liable to Statute Labor) ' equal in proportion to ten for every Township, shrill or may re- ‘ aide.‘ How it could happen. that men. who were so fully aware of the injustice of compelling the inhabitants to work for the benefit of the proprietors, could have introduced into a bill, otherwise an- cxceptionalile, a protiso to the effect. that when there were ten none on an area of 20,000 acres, capable of working on the roads, thiit then the gricvace complained of in the preanible had ceased to exist, is one of those anomalies in legislation which it is diliicult, if not impossible. to account for.

Beloved Brethren; The kindness of your address, and the favourable view you h", taken of my humble efforts to promote the cause of our Blessed Redeemer, duringftbe twenty yours that l have one out and in among you. l“""° log the glad tidings of the Ki rim of God, have tended to increase the pain of purtln with the tick which I bus so long endeavoured, however imper sctly, to food with th. by.“ oflife. and to lend to the founuiiii of living water. . . In exliortingryou to embrace the offers of salvation, and to @- tend earnestly or the faith once delivered to the Saints, I can only . regret,lhtit my laliouru have not been more aesloos, and my pra an more cnrnest, for the outpouring of the unction of the Holy nu, upon the p-.-eacliing of his word, and that it might be more nbun. danily blessed to the souls of all who heard it; and in rebulting sin, inipiety and irreligion. I feel, with deep regret, bow farl have fal. len short of the example of my blessed master, and his fiifliful mi- nisters, in the early and purer ages of the Church. If my endeavours to promote your social interests and domestic comforts, as well as your spiritual and eternal welfare. have been in any degree coiiiuiensurate with my desirsa,tlis pleasing raininisaucg will be a source of grateful pleasure during the short spell that re. mains of my eaithl aojourn;und if but one soul has been convinced of sin, and led to the Saviour for pardon and peace through ni tui- nistry, it will be a rich reward for all my labours,s cans.» oft ank- fulness through eternity. I need not tell you how deeplyl sympathize with our feelings I'll the prospect of the separation, which, in the cod llrovidencs of God, is about to tiike place. or how sorely my eslinga are tried, in parting with those, with whom, for so many years, I have been upon terms of the most friendly iiitercnurso, or assure you that the severance ofthe spiritual connectio which has hitherto existed be. twecu its, is as painful to your minister, us those among whom he has llllfll'llel'C\I. I tliniik, yon, Brethren, most sincerely, for your prayers for the success of my tifnistriitions in the new eld, which tliu great Lord ofall has uiurkcd out as the scenes of my future labours,and for your kind wishes that my path through life, may be blessed with liuppi- ness and domeszic comfort. It is my ezirncst prayer to the great Shepherd, that he may send it more zealous and faithful minister to occupy the position which I have so univortliil filled, that his labours among yo may be more abundantly hlesso , than my poor efforts have hitherto been, in turning tiiany to the way of righteousness, and in conducting those who have their laces Lionwurd, safely through all the dan- gers and difficulties ofthe way, until they arrive at the gates of that city which built foiindiitions, whose maker and builder is God. Accept my best thanks for your kind wishes for Mr. Wiggins and my family, and be assured, that we shall ever feel a deep and live- ly interest, in both the temporal and spiritual welfare of the people of St. I'.lennor's.
