To disregard such a man’s pre- sentation of facts reluting to the new sources of danger uuderlying svciety in the loyal States, would be as inexcusable in us as it was in Mr. Buctanan to turn a deaf ear to Gen. Scott’s solemn warning of the approach of the existing rebellion. And what does Judge Holt, on the amplest testimony, tell us? tie proves the existence of banded organizations, in eworn hostility to the United States Government, comprising in the aggregate no less than 500,000 wen, most numerous in the border States of the West, but having lodges in Pennsylvania, New York, New Hawpsbire, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and accomplices probably in every State.

It is now aunounced to the printers throughyuut the country, that while compositors will always command good wages in New York, none who belong to a combination will be employed hereafter. Newspaper proprietors cannot afford to emyloy men who act on the bighwaymau’s principie of “ your money or your life,” by striking for higher wages at 12 o'clock at night. Hereatter the workmen will meet their employers on equal terms, in adjusting the scale of the several offices.” The writer has but a faint idea of the to speak ; and | would advise bim in future to make bimself acquainted with @ subject before he presumes to institute comparisons of such a nature as ix contained in the above.

As it is Jikely such paragraphs will tend to create wrong impressions regarding an bonorable and hard- working body of men, allow me, through the columns of your admirably conducted and extensively read journal, to make a brief statement of facts concerning the Printers of New York and their Union. Perhaps the editor of the Charlottetown Herald is not aware that the compositors on daily morning papers have to labor through the long, tiresome hoursot night. That this labor is taxing and wearying to the system, and worth duuble that of ordinary tail in mid-day. 1 think he will readily admit. At least, had he to work in such a manner, I am inclined to the opinion he would be as cla- merous for ‘‘more’’ asany Oliver Twist. The price paid was fifty cents per thousand ems, Owing to the increased rates of living, and the exorbitant prices of wearing apparel, &c, that have obtained, the men on newspapers bere considered an increase of pay necessary, in order to enable them to live with some show of respectability. The Union, there- fore, put the price up to sixty cents per thousand ems. (This was sometime during the last month.) The proprietors of the several newspapers readily came into the new arrangement, suve the T'ribune and Times. These papers paid it under protest, and set about defeating the Union in this new de- mand, and, if possible, smashing it ap. The proprietor of the Tribune—Horace Greely— thought to insert an advertisement in iis paper for workmen to work at a less price than that paid the Union men. The hands immediately left off work. ‘The Times next issued a notice to their employees, discharg- ing them from their eee and stating that from henceforth no Unicon man would be employed by them. Alter two days’ de liberation, the Printers’ Uuion deemed the action of the Tribune's workmen ill-advised and hasty, asa Proprietor bad a just right to insert whatever advertisoment he thought proper in his payer. They, therefore, under such circumstances, perceiving that they had come into collision with a strong body of men—the Associated Press — suspended the ‘newspaper scale of prices, allowing the men |} to go to work for such price as the Proprie- | tors of those papers were willing to pay. | All the old tands have gone back to work, }since which tame there has been no further \trouble with the Union and employers. | Meantime a paragraph went flying through ithe length and breadth of the land, that the | Union was ‘‘dead,’’ ** burst up,’’ Ke.

The gang now inquired for Col. Hanson, 37th Ken- tucky mounted infantry, (commanding a brigade) and Capt. Dagenfield of the 12th Uhio cavalry, declaring their intention to shoot them buth. By this tine the surgeons and hospital at- tendunts had become aware of what was guing on, and they hasteued to the spot, By persuasion, and alunost by furce, they endea- voured to restrain these desperaducs from carrying out their savage purpose. Furguson was on the point of shooting the rebel surgeon in charge, Dr. Murphy for dsring to interfere, and one of bis men ac- tually presented a revolver at the breast of a major who had chanced to be visiting at the hospital at the time, and had volunteered his assistunce.

Charlottetown, November 7. 1864. THE LAND QUESTION WITH RE- FERENCE TO THE PROJECTED UNION OF THE COLONIES. THOROUGHLY convinced that, until our agri- cultural population ehall have been completely freed from the bonds imposed upon them by the great land claimants, we shall never, as a people, wake that material progress, or attain to that position of independence and contentment, to which the internal resources of our Island, its geographical position, and the indomitable spirit of industry and energetic desire of improvement, which pervade our whole community, most justly eutitle us to aspire—we have never, in the whole course of our journalism, omitted to avail ourself of any fitting opportunity which has occurred, to advocate the indefeasible right of the people to the free occupancy, possession, use, and enjoy- ment of the lands of this Colony, as @ public do- main—tu denounce the large grants made of them by the Crown, a8 a pusitive robbery of the people —and to show that an authoritatize decision and declaratica, altugether setting aside the claims and titles derived from such grants, and reinvest- ing the lands in the State, for the immediate common use and behvuf of the people, could not be radically unjust. Whilst thus seizing every favorable opportunity, or conjuncture of circum- stances, for the advocacy of the constitutional rights of our agricultural colonists, and maintain- ing that nothing short of a complete extinction of the proprietary claims by the power of the In- perial Parliament — an extinction completely exonerating the tenantry, and the people at large, from all pecuniary obligatious whatever, either as arising out of contracts and agreements made aud entered inte by individuals with their whilom landlords, or in consequevee of any compensatory agreement made with the grantee-proprietors by the Imperial Government — could, in justice or fairness, be accounted a proper basis or groundwork, on which, by distributive action, to afford at once individual and general redress to the improvers and cultivators of our svil; we have, nevertheless, invariably given our consent and support to every parliamentary scheme or measure—how far soever we may have considered it to fall short of the full amount ef justice due to the Colony—which appeared to be calculated to ameliorate the condition, or to diminish the grievances, of the oppressed and struggling ten- antry—persuaded that immediate, although imper- fect, redress was preferable to the hope engen- dered by an uncompromising and stubborn struggle with superior powers — that of the proprietors and that of the Imperial Government, combined. In our acquiescence in, and support of, any in- complete measure of redress, we have, however, never denied the inherent right of the people to all the advantages and reparation of wrongs which, fora long time, they were delusively taught to expect from the establishment of a Court of Es- cheat. But seeing that—with the Imperivl Go- vernment opposed to it, and fully determined to prevent the inquisition of such a Court—it was lit- tle less than mere fatuity to look in that direction tor the desired relief, we honestly counselied the people toendeavour to procure it by some more feasible neans. Such means was pointed out in the advice which we guve them, some time ago, when we advised them to seek for the redress of their wrongs, not by applications or representations to the Imperial Government — for all applications and representations, however reasonable, just, * The resolu- suid to be fifth vessel destroyed by ber.

The Protestant and his corresponden t, the Hon. George Brer, cone: fin assuming rather confidently, that this Ppropositicn has bust ead or agreed to, by the Canadian Delegates, sulel ‘ on the express condition, that, in return for nd £200,000, to be av advanced ty Us, We shal! agree to assume & responsibility fur an equivalent por. tion of the public debt of Canada; and in doing so, they very justly assert—although not in ex. actly the same words we are now using —that such an agreement, on the part of our Delegates would be very much like engaging to comntic Bill of Sale, by which the people of this Colony would be sold as slaves to Canada. Our opinion, however, On the contrary,— and we are rather confident in it too—is that, if our liberal Delegates, in giving their assent te the gencral terms of the proposed Union—those terms being strictly fair and equitable to all parties concerved—find that they have it in their power to stipulate that, as a condition of that assent, @ certain amount of money—say £200,000—shall be freely advanced tu us, to enable us to effect at once the complete emancipation of our tenant farmers, they will firmly insist upon it; but that they will never consent to accept the money on conditions which. whilst enabling us to relieve our tenantry from their burthens in one shape, would necesgitats our doubling, or, perhaps, quadrupling them in another. To such a fallacious mude ef effecting a redress of our agrarian grievances, we cannot for one moment believe, that any of our Dele. gates would assent. We do nut, however, think it at all improbable that the Canadian portion of the Convention, and even the Nova Scotian and New Brunswick portions of it—in contemplation of some peculiar and substantial advantages to be derived by themselves from a union with our Island—nay perhaps, anxious through the influ. ence of a truly honorable and fraternal feeling experienced by them, to enable us to fraternize and unite with them, as their perfect equals, oc- cupying the same social position as themselves, in full possession of all the rights and privileges of freemen; and rot as helots, bound by, and subject to the will of proprietary masters; may be willing and ready freely to advance to us the pecubiary meaus, by a right application of which we may be able to cance! the obligations of all among us who are held in proprietary bonds.— Should it be found that, in such a spirit, the other provinces are prepared to extend their arma, and to give us a fraternal embrace, no one amongst us surely willsay that we ought to re- fuse it, or that our Delegates would de wrong in engaging for us that we will gladly receive it. Atteuipts may, perhaps, be made by Rail-road Kings, or others, te deceive and over-reach our Delegates, in the course of the pending negotia- tions ; but, in their ealmoesa, foresight, and wis- dom, we liave too much confidence, to fear that they will allow themselves to be either so * biolo- gized or bambuozied,” as to be induced to con- sent tu any condition or arrangement which— whatever especial advantages it may hold out to any or all of the other Provinces—shall not, at the same time, afford them also a positive assur- ance of as real aud substantial advantages to Prince Edward Isiand. As respects our agrarian grievances, the re- dress of them is undoubtedly due to us from the Imperial Parliament, whe, we feel confident, as we bave already said, would, jong ugo, if proper- ly appealed to, have afforded it. That redress for these grievances was not, in that way, long age songlit and obtained, is indeed much tu be regretted; bat if now placed freely within our reach—as prrhap» it is—its having been #0 long withheld will render it only the more acceptable.

From whence arose the maxim, | protess my entire }gnor- ance ; but bow with admiration to the spirit of Christian Charity which dictated a senti- ment so fraught with benevolent forbearance; and it shall teach 9 lesson in other cases which are sufficiently imperative in their claims to our humanity. Itis in defence of the absent 1 would rouse the sympathy of that be- ing, hitherto dead to those exalted feelings of the heart, which restrain us from aspers- ing the character of the absent ; and who, at times pursuing a system almost as cu!pable as that of detraction, becomes a passive hearer of calumnies, which, by the timely exercise of charity, might be entirely sup- pressed. In regard to their helplessness, the absent have as little capacity of defence as the un- furtunate who, by death, are removed from a possibility of refuting the attacks of malice, or in any way extenuating those charges which tend to implicate their integrity. Should not, therefore, that merey which prompts us to refrain from vilifying the me mory of the dead, urge us to defend the cause of the absent. There is another point 1@ which the love of detraction may be re- garded, little differing from the original view of the subject, but which relates more parti- cularly to the prevailing system which exists among many, of disseminating, in every com- pany they enter, anecdotes and tales of scan- dal, having no better foundation for their authenticity than the pages of venality, or the rancour of ‘‘party spirit,” which, smart- tion, emits from its ** serpent’s tongue’’ that venom which his fancied wrongs have engen- dered within the heart. The libeller who, though it is probable might subscribe to the and might also be strictly conscientious in adhering to the clemency it inculcates, res- pecting ** departed spirits,”’ dues not look upon the charge as exterding towards the feel- ings of the living, and will continue, with all the acrimony of which language is capable, to asperse the character of any one who, un- fortunately for their fame, are not, by death, removed from the attacks of systematic tra- ducement. It isastrange perversion of right feeling in those who, with morbid sensibility, profess themselves too tender in their nature to disparage one who, ftom bis removal to a happier etate, is insensible to the unimport- unt concerns of this life; and yet, the refined sentimentalist will continue, with unabated seal, to wound, by the shaits of malice, those living victims of his spleen, whose position or sex removing from them the opportunity of parrying the blow aimed at their reputa- tion, are reduced, under such persecution, to the most pitiable state of helplessnese. In such cases. philanthropy ecalis loudly upon us to close our ears against every babbler who enters society but to reduce to his own degraded level, the being who eclipses him by the possession of virtues he knows not of, and who, while industriously aggravating the de. rous silence on his virtues. Well might Shakespeare make Emelia say, ‘© O, Heaven, that such companions thou'dst unfold, and put in every houest hand a whip to lasb the rascal naked through the world.”’ ‘The evil such men do lives after them.” We might transpose the following line, and New York Printers’ Union in : ret No. of thie He con The ns an unjust and ing under the feelings of disappointed ambi- | of his first-appointed liberal colleague in the dele- but by a direct appeal to the Imperial Parlia- ment. Had this means been had recourse te by the people, and firmly persevered in by them, we are fully persuaded that it would have been successful—even to the utmost extent that could, in reason, have been desired. Since we thus counselled the people, a crisis, aflecting net only the general but the separate and individual interests ef the British North American Colonies, has arrived; and the Con- vention now being held, at Quebec, for the pur- pose of determining—se far as human wisdom and foresight may pretend to do so—the future of these Colonies, may, and most probably will, in the course of its deliberations arrive at such resolutions as, if fully earried into effect, will ren- der each of them more independent of the con- trol of the Imperial Government, as respects the management of its ewn immediate affairs, and the scope and direction of its internal policy, than any one of them bas yet been, even with all the pri- vileges connected with Responsible Government. Should we then, asa result of the deliberations of this Convention, be placed in a position to as- sume the direct regulativn of all our local affairs, wholly independent of the control ef the Imperial Parliament, it would not be long—if true to our interests — before all our agrarian grievances would be fully redressed. From the moment in which we learned that the Hon. George Coles had been appointed one of our Island Delegates to the Convention, we felt assured that the evils and buarthens—the direct consequences of our “ vicious system of land tenures”—which harass the spirits and cripple the energies of our rural population, and have, from its infancy to the pre- sent time, retarded the material progress and im- provement of the Colony: would, in their true colors and real magnitude, be brought before the convention; and, with a view tu their removal, be made a subject of earnest enquiry and anxious deliberation by them. This, it appears, the hon. gentleman sought and found aa early opportunity to accomplish ; and, we rejoice to find that the proposition with which he accompanied his statement of our agrarian difficulties, met with a cordial reeeption from the rest of the Convention ; and—now eepe- cially that, in the good work, besides the support gation—the truly prudent, consistent, and inde- pendent Hon. Andrew McDonald—be is atrength- ened by the counsel and aid of bis true, able and well tried friend and associate in political war- fare, who has battled with him, both successfully and unsuccessfully, through wany a “ well-fought- en field"--the Hon, Edward Whelan—we ean have no fear that, in the prosecution of any nego- tiation which he may have opened, in the Con- vention, for the especial relief of our oppressed tenantry, any thing wil} be agreed upon disad- vantageous to the general interests of the Colony. When, at first, we anticipated that, should a Union between Canada and the Maritime Pro- vinces be effected, on strictly fair and equitable terms, a consequence thereof would be the placing of thie Colony in a position to free itself from the evils of proprietary usurpations; we went ne farther thav to conclude that this emancipation would be brought about or accomplished by the direct action of our Federai or Confederate Par- liameut, constitutionally acting independently of any control on the part of the Iwperial Gevern- went. But the fact—or that which has since been promulgated for a fact, through the press— namely, that previded Prince Edward Island shall become a party to the contemplated Union with Canada, that Province wil] advance us £200,000 to enable us to buy up the claims of the proprietors, and te raise our tenant farmers to the position of freeholders, placing before us the probability of the redeniption of our public domain in a nearer and ditlerent point of view, has, in some respects, given a ditferent character to our speculations concerning it. With what further understancing, if any—besides the one Would that it were interred with their bones,”’ ONLY. should the redemption of our public domain ba effected by the means we have been speaking of ~ care ehould be taken, by the people themselves, that the redemption should be sulely for the publie good ; and, te that end, that the whole should be made a frurtful souree ef revenue, under a fired but moderate taxation, in lieu of rent, for publig or state necessities, such as the encouragement of education, the making and levelling of ronda, the erection of bridges, the construction of break waters, the dredging of river-beds, and general improvements of every kind. SUPPLEMENTARY ARTICLE. WE are pleased to find, by the Hoa. Mr. Whelan’s last communication from Canada, that, although we were not able to divine precisely in what way our Delegates to the Convention would, in the course of the preliminary negotiay tions for the projected union, stipulate for the abohtion of our leaschold tenure, the monster evil of our Colony — an object, which, however, we felt confidant they, would keep earnestly before them—we have pot greatly erred in our specu- lations concerning it. In that communication, the hon. gentleman in- forms us, that, if the preliminary arrangements— the propricty of which appears to be unanimously recognized by the Delegates of the Provinces— be eventually confirmed by the several Legisla. tures, and the Union coasequently be accomplish- ed, we shall have the guarantee of the Federal Government for about £400,000 ; by which we could, at any time, effect the purchase of our Township lands. This guarantee—provided we should not be called upon to yield up too much to the Federal Government, in return for it—would certainly place the Island in an admirale position as respects its financial affairs. Mr. Whelandors not, however, say that the Township lands, if so purchased, would be made—as we have said that, in such ease, they cught to be—a public domain, and a source, whence we might derive a revenue for our public er state necessities. Yet he sforme us—when spectfying the provincial property of @ public character which, is to be transferred to the Confederate government, in consequence of its assuming the liability of the consulidated debte of the several Provinces—that from this transfer will be excepted such public property as may be set aside for the use of the local Legislatures, ordnance property, munitions of war, armories, and lands set apart for public purposes. Iu the “lands to be set apart for public purposes” in Privee Edward Island, may we not hope te find the redeemed ‘Township lands? The probabilily is, we think, that these lands, and no other—for what other can there be 7 — are those which, i is contemplated, will be excepted from the general transfer, ard so set apart. But we shall see. In the New York Albion itis stated that “after a long discussion, the Canadian Confederation has been decided on.” ‘This statement says sowething too much. It is, no doubt, true that, so far a¢ the Delegates were empowered to deal with the Confederation Question, the business is at 88 end. They hare agreed to a Confederatwa scheme; but more they could not do. Whether the scheme will be accepted or rejected by the several Provinces, remains to be seen. That 1 will be agreed to by them all, is, we think, not- withstanding the apparent excellence of what we know of it, very problematical ; for, even though it should be entertained by each of the Legisle tures, yet, ax a writer upon the question very judiciously observes, “the provisions are #0 large and 80 elastic, that, on any one of & number of de- tails which it embraces, the scheme way be easily wrecked, and the whole project may founder. The submitting of it to the existing Legislatures in all the Colonies, without a direct reference the people, as, it is said, been dete in as we noticed in a previous number — for . purpose of having it confirmed, even although to decide the great question in so hasty #80 © that we should becomes party in said projected wary a maener, would, as we have alresdy *#ith
