It must be remembered that the authority of the Comission is based. on Col.

There js not much ia the preamble tw the Ke- sulutions, or in the different articles which follow, that were likely to produce any beneficial result to the tenantry, when the winagement of the Commission lay in a great measure within the Ch.

Sin,—The ‘ Protestant’ of the 8th inst. contains a slashing article, or rather what is intended to be a slashing article, onan editorial that appeared some Weeks age in ‘ Ross's Weekly’. 1 hope that friend Ross is not guite aunihilated. Your readers must not think that I have taken up my pen to take his part; he is quite able to fight his own battles without my poor assistance. But the writer in the ‘ Protestant’ — for I am loath te think that Mr. Lair wrote the very stupid, ill- vatured article in question—has made some gene- ral assertions which I am not disposed to pass by without comment. He has endeavoured to throw odium on those Protestants who hold it to be both unrighteous and impolitie te agitate religious questions et the hustings and in secular journals, Although the writer in the * Protestant’ endea- vours to play the eritie, I do not consider his own He will also find the most glaring grammatical dreary but abortive attempts to be ill-naturally wuty. The ‘ Protestant’ writer is particularly severe ou those Protestants whe advocate peace. He makes no seruple in saying “if we would en- joy long peace we must purchase it with strife.” What would be thought of sych an assertion pro- ceeding from the editor of the ‘ Examiner’ or the Rector of St. Dunstan’s? The ery of Catholie aggression and Catholic aseendaney would then be raised with some reason. This argument when plainly stated is this — because there are some cireumstauces in which war is necessary to secure lasting peace, thercfore it is the duty of Protes-| regulatwn of a Proprietary Government. The | tots to place themselves in direct opposition to mies, and pray for those who slander and calum- niate us, We must save ourselves from our friends. The last No. of the paper called ‘ Vindicator’ as- serts in a paragraph, that a “certain Ecolier” wrote the articles recently published in ‘ Ross’s Weekly,’ on “ Religious Controversy.” Mr. E. Reilly, the publisher, and I presume, editor of the ‘Vindicator,’ must have known when he penned that statement that it was utterly untrue. “ Ecolier” considered that the aim and spirit of the first ar- ticle in the ‘Weekly’ was good, and supposed that the best efforts of the ‘ Vindicator’ would be directed in the same way —towards the suppres- sion of religious strife. The ‘Weekly’ certainly contained two or three objectionable phrases, but on them Jove ought not to have wasted his thun- derbolts. ‘Eeolier” pointed them out in the private conversation, which, | suppose, was faith- Sully and honorably reported by a well known pro- moter of peace and good will; hence the Christian spirit of the paragraph editor of the ‘ Vindicator.’ Whatever may be the merits or demerits of the sentiments of the ‘ Weekly’ on Religious (7) Con- troversy, it will suffice for the present to say that “Keolier” neither “advised,” suggested nor “wrote” them. Mr. E. Reilly, onee the “Nemo” of the ‘ Pro- testant,’ now the somebody of the ‘ Vindicator,’ makes several charges against “ Ecolier,” the malignity of which is quite apparent, and which I will, as briefly as possible, shew to be palpably untrue. The person supposed to ve the writer of the letters of “ Eeoher” never gave expression to sentiments except of a nature consistent with the duties of a faithful British subject. He may have given utterance to opinions on the teniporal pow- er of the Pope—the injustice of taxing the Catho- lies of Ireland to support the Anglican Church establishment—or on the impolicy of not granting a charter to the Trish Catholie University, not in accordance with the views of some of the “ Great Britons ;” but the right of free discussion is one preamble merely alludes to the unsettled nature | their Catholic tellow-citizens.

But they suffer not alone, for while the flower of their manhood is being destroyed, and their widows and their orphans are being legionized, other men, once vigorous, healthful, flourishing, with their wives and little ones, have also to drink the bitter eup. Europe teels the blow—France and Eugland especially. England’s strong men bow; they, their wives and ofispring, deprived of almost all that man calls physically good, are daily seen clad in afflictions of deepest dye, but with a spirit of true nobility bearing up against the mighty evil without a mur- mur or complaint. But must they suffer yoid of sympathy? No; this must never be. They have their claims on England, and ali, all her colonies; their manhood claims, their common Christianity Our ties of bleed, with the abundant aid received by all her colonies from Britain’s sons, lay us under deep and lasting obligations.

Our generous impulses as Britons — our ebristian sympathies with our kindred race, and the debt of gratitude we owe them, as with a voice of thunder, answer No. In the enjoyment of every essential blessing, it is our duty to respond promptly to their though silent yet powerful call; and as consistent chris- tians, if we believe that our religion recognizes the principle of sacrifice, let us cheerfully present ours. We need not offer up necessaries but only a few luxuries; let our entertainments during the coming season be less expensive, and our different elanns. , sideration of their decision with regard to the Award. Nothing else, we believe, is contemplated. To effect this object we burthen the Colony with the charge of at least one thousand pounds. A regular Session costs about three thousand pounds. One third of that amount is the lowest figure we can put down for a special Session. A thousand pounds added to the former cost ef the Land Commisgjon will make a very large item in the public expenditure—sufticient to buy two or three small estates under the Land Purchase Bill, or te keep the roads, bridges, aud wharts of the Colony in repair for a year. Public money was never worse expended than on that gigantic humbug. It is just possible that the Government will geta majority — but ouly a bare majority — to pass a Memorial to the Duke of Neweastle—a flaming, spirit-stirrmg Memorial, to be ushered into the world with the most grandiloquent harangues from Colouel Gray and his brother practitioners in the art ot Humbug. But what earthly good can it accouiplish? It will serve only te provoke a smile _ of contempt from the Colonial Miuister—and pos- sibly a reprimand to the Lieut. Governor for sanctioning the folly. The Duke, trom the very first, condemned the Award as impracticable in one of its leading features—the arbitration scheme. He has had a very long time to reconsider the whole subject—he has been pressed to do so—bis attention bas been invited to it in the most earnest manuer by the Bills passed last Session. But his objections are irremovable. He has not swerved an inch from his original position. The Bills, Which cost this Colony so much money te have passed were thrown aside by his Grace, almost with contempt. Their fate was known early in the summer. If there was any use in taking popular action in reference to the Award that was the time for it. The Government advocates profess to believe that the people are and have been always anxious to get the Award. If that were the case, the House should have been dis- solved as soon as it was known that the Bills were rejected ; and if the Government were sus- tained by the country, there might be sume show | of reason for urging on the Colonjal Minister a ' + enabbag the tenantey to convert theis deassholds td helore Butler, be simply asked her if éhe | he fuceral procession of | the landlords. those devastating wars that have been the curse audience that he believed that the writings of of the human race, and of ninety-nine hundredths "Shakespeare and Milton, infused the love of liberty of the quarrels that have destroyed the peace of | inte the hearts of Englishwen, and that no coun- communities and of tamilies, what are we to | try besides Britain contained se great a yumber think of him who, while he pretesses to be a ser- ot “free-born men, who knew their rights, and vant of the Prince of Peace, recklessly applies it} knowing them dare maintain them.” I nay now to a pefty dspute between Catholics and Erotes- | ivdarm the would-be Captain Armstrong, that | tants, raised by political tricksters for party pur- since “ Ecolier”’ has commenced to read and think claims, and reiers to certain despatches of a like teadeney, the sentiments of wich excited ardent | admiration.

The Duke of Newcastle says that the objection referred to is a valid one—that it must be regarded as fatal to the Award — be ~ cause its existence leaves the Land Question, which the Award was to settle, still unsettled. It may, therefore, be presumed, that the Award cannot be revived while such opposi-- tion is found to exist. | Tiis being the reat state of the case, it appears to us as a monstrous absurdity to hold a special!

Our legislation must as+ sume the character ef coercion upon, or repri- mand to, the proprietors; and this will be at va~ riamee with the doctrine always inculeated by the: Tory party, who have declared, in their journals aud elsewhere, that it is only by friendly interces- sion, or the geatlest persuasion, that we can se- cure any benefits fos the tenantry from the pro- prietors. ‘hiv doetrime im again urged upon our ‘notice im the ‘Protestant’ of Saturday last, wherem the editor says: “It i in vain for the tenants , at this date......in the face of repeated declarations on the partof the Britis Gowerment and that of all Governments on this Island, t» the effect that the proprietors‘ ¢laims would not, and leould not be ignored ...... we say ® would be mnadoegss to suppose that this difficulty ean be settled wholly adverse to the proprietors’ cisims.’” pam the proprietors very urgently claim to be exempt fro the operation of the arbitration clause in the Award —they state that the Royal Commissioners exceeded their powers when the Duke ef Newcastle bears them out in this statement ; and, in the words of the ‘ Protestant,’ “we say it weuld be madness to suppose” that, the ceembined aetien of the proprietors and the Colonial Office, with regard te this point, can be efertually resisted. | ‘The people are advised te hold meetings to help ‘the Gesernwent in their enreer of bumbug and delusion.

MR. LAIRD AND THE GOVERNMENT. REFERRING te our remarks on Mr. Laurd’s practical withdrawal from the Government, the ‘Islander’ of Friday says:—* Mr. Laird, up to the present hour, remains 3 member of the Go- vernment.”” Nomenally te may be a member of the Government — practically, we contend, he is not a member of the Government, etherwise his own express word to ourselves, made without any reserve, cannot be believed. And he openly de- clared to others, as well as to ourselves, that for some considerable time he had positively declined attending the Executive Council; and the *Ib- lander’ confirms this by intimating taat on Tues- day week last, when Mr. Laird was in town, and when a ineeting of the Executive Couneil was being held, be was not summoned, in the usual way, to attend that meeting; and, says the ‘ Is- lander,’ “the presumphon is, that his presence was not desired.” If Mr. Laird could possibly remain in the Couneil after this insult from one of its Clerks, no one should envy him his feelings : and the Government who will keep a Clerk that will so shamefully blab the secrets of the Council cannot well be congratulated on possessing such an officer. es 2. MR. DOUSE AND THE GOVERNMENT. THE ‘Islander’ says that our statement regard- ing the offer of a seat in te Executive Council to Mr. Douse “ is incorrect.” ‘Phe ‘ Islander’ adds: —* The ciacumstances of Mr. Douse being a non- conseating proprietor, and disposed to remain one, would alone preclude any such offer.” When Mr. Douse himself denies that snch an offer was made we shall believe it—not sooner. The rea- son assigned for not taking him into the Council is very absurd—Mr. Palmer, Mr. Yeo, and Mr. J. C. Pope, are proprietors, as well as members of the Coune:l, and we have no proof that they have consented to the Commission, which all the world knows has been shet into the rubbish box of the Colonial Office. TP Ir is significant that neither the ‘Islander,’ * Protestant,’ nor ‘ Monitor,’ bas taken the least uotice of the attempt made by the Colonial Secre- tary to bring an action for libel by criminal infor- mation against the editor of this paper. The Hon. Edward Palmer said the honor of the whole Go- vernment was involved in that affair; and the only reason why it has not been noviced in the Govern- ment papers is, that the Tory party are ashamed of the whole affaar—ashamed of their Secretary for his cowardly proceeding, and mortified beyond expression at his failure. Had the Court acceded to his application, and had we been placed on out trial for hbel, the yelping curs who do the barking for the Government would be 2c our heels in a very ferocious way. The Government party appear to be of opinion that the less that is said about the “man with the unclean hands,” the better it will be for his partizans and associates, np atead ttt tetera te We have had, during the lqst two or three Iu conclusion, let po ffet Blanket be thrown!
