When the Tenant League was formed, and when it was found, that the organization was based upon two such un- sound principles as repudiation of legal obli- gations, and an open defiance of, and resis- | tance to law, the only course that remained | to all honest politicians was opposition.

We all know that if we want to get good terms from a creditor ' the worst way in the world is to refuse to pay him what we owe him. This refusal very | jnatarally exasperates him, and, in conse- } quence, he holds out for the full extent of his } legal rights. He will have all that is set in } the bond—every farthing of it. And, again, jf the Lenant League wish to buy the pro- | prietor’s bonds on anything like easy terms, ithe very worst possible presmminary is to put }himain bad hameur by denying his right to demand rent, and to threaten to resist by | force its collection by the officers of the law | Chen, this threat was a fovlish one because it We feel contempt for the man who threatens to du what every one Those whom he ‘ business."

Some people give him credit for sv much honesty that he feels ashamed of having committed himself to support the huge swindle of the present Government against the tenants; and hence his difficulty to speak against his conscience, and huis re- pugnance to be yoked in the same team with the notorious W, H.

The Canadians, New Bruns- wickers, and Neva Scotians don’t want to deprive us of our greatness in this respect; and, like sen- sible men, they don’t want to be deprived of their own in the same direction. The views of the gentlemen now in Conference, representing all the Provinces — or, the views, at least, of a majority of then — assume this shape: Each Provinee to retain its own Government, nearly as now constituted—the numbers of members in the several Legislatures may, without detriment to the local intereats, be reduced—the Governor would cease to be a servant of the Crown, doing the bidding of the Crown — he would be elected by the people, paid by them, and accountable to them fur his cenduct,—the expenses of the Civil Lists, and these entailed by a Provincial Army and Navy, would devolve upon the Previnces, which should pay according to their means and population, Each Province should provide for the payment of its own debt, and one Province not to be taxed for the payment of another’s debt. Each should contribute its proportion towards the expense of a Central Government and Central Parliament, in which all the Provinces would be represented. Whether this representation would be regulated by area and population, or whether each Province—the small as well as the large~-would be entitled to send the same number of Representatives, is a matter of detail which ean only be settled by the seperate Provincial Legisla- tures,or by future Conventions,such as that now sit- ting here, England’s connection with the Colonies would be represented merely by haying a Viceroy to preside over the deliberations of the United Government.

Mr. Beer, who the Union Delegates from the several Provinces were received here. The Nova Scotians were the first to arrive. Nota soul belonging to the Government was on the wharf to reecive them— there was net a carriage of any hind, net even a truck, to take their Inggage to the hotels or board- houses ; and they were suffered to find out, by the rule of thumb, where they could get someting to eat and a bed to he upon. The New Brunswick- ers came next. They were treated in precisely the same courteous manner. The Canadians fol- lowed clase on the heels of the New Brunswickers. Fortunately they came ina fine steamer of their own,which isnow anchored in our readstead. No- body representing the Government was on the wharf to receive them, any more than the Dele. gates from New Brunswick and Nova Seotia. Ne- ylect and inditlerence were measured out to them, as weil as to the others with beautiful impartiali- ty. Most of the Canadians are compelled to stay on board of their Steamer, because it appears they cannot find boarding and lodging in the Town.

The R. M. Steamer Europa arrived at Halifax on Weduesday moruing last, in 11 days from Li- verpool and Queenstown, with dates to the 20th. Political news continues meagre in the extreme. The principal feature in the news is the terrible rioting that disgraeed Belfast for 10 days. The News of the World says:— “Some silly people in Belfast tock it into their heads to burn O'Connell in effigy on the very day that the honours, se long due to his memory, were tardily paid in Dublin. Why such a pro- ceeding was allowed by the magistrates and the police does not appear; but the successful execu- non of such an exploit was tolerably sure to lead to further disturbanees. Jt does not surprise any one to learn that retaliatory measures, on both sidea, succeeded each other, and that Prec- byterian Churches, Werieyan Chapels, Nunneries, and the residences ef Catholic Bishops were “wrecked,” in order to satiety the mistaken and useless zeal of the devotees of a spurious religion. Lhe people who sv far gave way to their passions were wether good Catholics por suund Frotes- tants, and the utmost they can expect is t6 be treated as mere noters, whose proceedings have not the shadow ef a pretence for justification. Meanwhile, the military powers have been called tn, and lives, we fear not in every case the lives of rioters, have been sacrificed to the Moloch of moboeracy. We are uot writing of [rish riots in New York, which were respectable in comparison, because they arose out of a fear of the conserip- hon, but of rioters in the thriving city of Beltast, Whose industry flourishes, and the people are supposed to be loyal subjects ot her Majesty. It is certainly frighttil te contemplate what may happen after au appeal te the uwb-like passions of muscular Christians of the Belfast sert. We bad hoped that the days for Arms ard Proces- sions Acts were gone, never to return in Lreland, but these late proceedings in Beltast, the least j likely corner of all treland, wilt tend to awaken | us from such a delusion.

The hay crops have been in geveral very light, and there have been scarcely any seeond crops either of meadow grass or ef clover. As far as the wheat crep is concerned, a dry summer is usually extremely favourable. Jt is scareely possible in Eugland to have a season too dry for the production and mpening of a plant which is a native of the hottest aud driest eoun- tries of Southern Europe and Northern Afvica.

It is some consolation, however, to know that the | Delegates are only clothed with power to talk and ned to each other—to compare notes of their wise cugitations on Colonial affairs, and to draw up a report embracing the pith of their august de- liberations, which may be shut into the dust holes of the several Colonial Houses of Assembly when they meet next wiuter. But the people will-be empowered, aud are empowered through their representatives, to pass their opinion on the question of Union in auy shape, before the least change can be made in the constitution of any of the Colonics ; and that question is not likely to become a popular one if a fvolish and pompous ait of mystery is suffered to enshroud the Con- ference, with the view of imparting dignity to it. We learn that the Canadian gentlemen, who comprise, for talent and statesmauship, the best men which the Provinces cau produce, are vot reeoguised as Delegates at the Conference. They are merely admitted by courtesy as Visitors; and we understand that on Saturday they were tu undergo a sort of catechistical examination as to their views and intentions on the Union ques- tion. Nova Sevtia and New Brunswick appear to be extremely suspicious of Canada—(the al- leged bad faith of the latter touching the inter- colonial Railway is supposed to be at the bottom of this suspicion )—and the probability is, that in any Union project entertained by the Delegates, Canada will not be recoguised as a party to it. Our public men generally have no fault to find with Canada, and we believe they would not lis- ten to a Union in auy shape without the co-opera- | Seoteb ports for Denmark. ploy, and both masters and men are suffering.
