REPLY TO * MODERATOR” ON THE QUALITIES OF A STATESMAN. | Mr. Epitrorn—Srr —‘ Moderator’ in his second letter accuses * l of having misstated and trayestied his propositions. ‘I’ is Hut conscious of having done so. He believes he has done quite the contrary—that he has stripped them of their glitter- ing disguise, and presented them to your readers in a simpler form. That‘ Moderator’ is ashamed of them, and disowns them, ts net much to be wondered at; the wonder is, that he ever suffered himself to write what is evidently eo unworthy & man of hiseducation and powers of mind. ‘1° does not wish to misrepresent or to take an un‘air advantage of an adversary. On re-perusing ‘ Moderator's’ first letter, I find that his arguments may be succinctly aad clearly stated in the follew- ing manner : — Major proposition :—There are other qualities more impor- tant in @ legislator of a sinall colony like ours than a libera! education. Granted. Minor proposition :—That the Hons. Messrs. Yeo and Laird possess these qualities. Not granted. Conclusion :—That the above named gentlemen are fit legis- Iators for the people of this colony. Denied also. F On looking for the arguments by which he supports his minor proposition, the only ones [ find are, that Mr. Yeo has accumulated a large fortune, and that Mr. Laird, with admitted fulings enough to condemn him in the judgment of any man of ordinary intelligence, possesses the sulitary virtae of baving given three of his sons a good education. ae ah »derator’ now wishes to retreat under cover of the asser- tion that his ‘remarks were general, and would apply equally well to any man of Mr. Yeo’s character, in Mr. Yeo's position.’ \afortunately for the correctness of this statement, there is to be found in bis first letter the following sentence :—‘ Now Messrs. Yeo and Laird possess sume of the qualities just enu- merated in an eminent degree.’ He then goes on to particu- larise them, being im substance what I have before stated 110re than onee, it is unnecessary for me to re; eat them here. In his second letter‘ Moder. tor,’ after having thrown Messrs. Yeo and Laird overboaad, and given up their defence fora ® bad job whatever,’ more happily certain'y than in his first, restates his position. To prevent misunderstanding I will set it down in hisown words: ‘Ina newly settled colony like this, great talents and a good education are not always found associated with the integrity of character and the interest in the prosperity of the community which would entitle a can- didate for legislative functions to the confidence of a rural constituency.’ He then adds,‘and the people very wisely prefer the last mentioned qualities ia their representatives.’ * Moderator’ then proceeds upon the hypothesis, that every farmer whom the people choose to represent them in Parlia- ment, is a model of honesty and consistency ; and that every candidate for legislative honours, who does not happen to possess the most essential qualifications of a handsome home- stead, broad acres, and a well filled pocket-book, is an aban- doned villain, without principles in religion or politics, ready t» prostitute his talents in any cause, and to betray the dearest interests of his fellow-citizens for bread to eat, whiskey to drink, and clothes to wear. Ignorant as ‘ Moderator’ profes- #°s to be of our dirty Island politics had he paused a moment before he penned the paragraphs onder review, and been as intent on remembering facts as he was on giving point and brillianey to his antithesis, his memory would have furnished him witha number of instances of honest, shrewd and intelli- gent farmers not hiving been found proof against the sweets of office and the charms of power, and that the staunchest, truest friends of the people have been by no means distin- guished by the possession of a superabundance of this world’s goods. And this state of things obtains, not only in this, our insignificant sea-girt home, but in the parent country, the sister colonies, and in the immaculate, the unparalleled Ame- rican Republic. Even the appointinent to a petty office, the ee a a ta i AN A small. ated in the mest moving terms | and release the | the supplicant’s | ronment has | Nay, further, that when supplic I to relax the muscles of their herculean jaws, mangled member from their viee like grip, tl reward for his good intentions and superior disce too often been unmeasured ridicule, unbounded abuse, or a crown of martyrdom. If I did not fear being accused of pro- lixity, 1 could adduce instances where the people of this Island, through their representatives, have bitten their own fingers so severely that the wounds are festering to this a ; detying the skill of the professed physicians of the body politic, albeit many of those physicians were, and are, ‘ honest, shrewd, though uneducated farmers.’ But to drop metaphor, the sad, sober, and plain truth is, that nothing is more common than for ‘ honest, shrewd’ men to mistake their true interest, private and public, and to act in a manner detrimental to both one and the other. The history of our own, and of every other country. furnishes innumerable in- stances of this—instances of well intentioned though unedu- cated men from want of ability to analyse the measures they have voted for, and discernment to foresee the necessary Te- sults that would accrue from their adoption, have betrayed the cause of those whom they wished to serve, and delivered them bound and helpless into the hands of their worst enem1es. Men do not make laws adit direct public affairs by instinct. ttis sheer absurdity to say or to think that a man of but mediocre ability, without mental discipline, and destitute of information, is fit to legislate for any community, however Yet numbers of such men are returned at every gene- ral election. Tht they impede the public business by their impertinent and long-winded harangues, is but a small evil compared with the mischief they are continually doing, as the ready tools of specious, clever, educated, but designing men, both in and out of the House of Assembly. It would be amusing, if it were not so melancholy, to hear the shallow, foolish reasons given by numbers of voters at elections for supporting this or that candidate ; who, it may be, has been put in nomination by interested parties, just because he is un- fitted for the post they wish him to fill, that he may be the more readily hoodwinked and brought over to aid them in accomplishing their sinister designs. ‘The writer was present ata political meeting, previous to the late general election, where it appeared to depend on the toss of a penny which should be numinated, Donald or John; both of whom, though honest worthy men, would be mach better occupied in hauling their wood and in feeding their cattle, than in hybernating during the winter months in our Legislative Halls, subject to the mesmeric influence of a Palmer, a Haviland, a Murray, ora Sutherland, ) “lt was my intention, when I began, to touch upon some of the topies treated of by * Moderator,’ but 1 fear that I have already trespassed too far on your indulgence and on your readers’ patience.

Zs Siz,—It is admitted by men of all political parties, and by all grades of society, that whatever arrangements can, ought to be carried into effect, having a tendency to lessen the time oceupied in transmitting and receiving our correspondence with other countries. A saving of time in this mode of con- veyance in particular is looked upon and appreciated by every civilised community, great or sinall; but to a small Colony such as this, shut out from the world and its commercial transactions fur at least half the year by the etlest of severe frost—the part of the season that remains open for navigation, as the means of exporting our surplus produce and rece ving the productions of other countries, becumes doubly enhaneed. It ia, therefore. a great desideratum that every facility where- by a saving of time cau be effected should be embraced, es- pecialiy in transporting our mails to the United States and Vanada, with whom our trade is increasing ia an extraord:- nary manner. With this view of the matter, to make light o! a subject in the manner the Editor of the /s/ander refers tu an article which appeared in a late number of your paper. advising that the marls of this Island should be forwarded by steam boat, from New Brunswick to Boston, U. S., instead of the inland route now followed—betrays a recklessness o! disposition unbecoming the editor of a journal purporting to represent the sentinents of the Government, and ip my opinion displays on their part an evident carelessness of turning t advantage any hint towrrds improvement in the public servic: emanating from persons outside of the Executive Council, be yond the proprietary clique who govern its actions — however advisable its adoption may be, and beneficial its results to trade and the community generally. Ll am aware, Sir, and have been for some time sensible of the disadvantage we labour under to my own loss, that if correspondence is not farwarded on this route by private Hands, considerable time is lost in sending by mail, as much as two, and sometimes three days; besides, it is seldom the service of a friend offers; but when such is the case, the business must be pressing that causes one to ask a friend the favour of carrying letters contraband inlaw. I probably would not have complained were it not so, but even if it were other- wise [I can see no objection in endeavouring to have that eyil complained of remedied. The editor of the Islander does not attempt to deny the statement made with respect to the advantage the public would derive if the proposition were carried into effeet ; but he endeavours to lead his readers away from the subject, by attacking the article in detail; for instance, the editor con- cludes that the writer of the article in question stated that the mail was drawn by bullocks, because the word ‘‘ team”’ is used to signify the mode and convey an idea of the speed of transport employed, in comparison with the modern rapid rate of travelling. Independently of this error, the remarks of the /s/ander are made to mystify the public in relation to the matter in ques- tion. The nature of the application was not for permission to take charge of Uer Majesty’s mails, or to interfere with Post Office arrangements in any particular; but simply that the Government would allow the Company to make up an Express Mail. to be forwarded twice a week by Gunnison’s Express conveyance to Canada and the United States. Express mails made up and conveyed in the manner proposed are in @pera- tion in other countries, although the erudite editor of the Islander may be no more aware of it than he appears to be of the fact that the Island mails are conveyed by land into tye neighbouring Republic from the adjoining Province. I beg leave respectfully to assure him that the Government of the United States encourages rather than suppresses private net proceeds of which did not amount to fifteen pounds per sanum, has had the effect of inducing many of our farmers to ronounee long cherished opinions, and valiantly to do battle by the side of the enemies of yesterday against the friends of ‘ Lang syne.’ I do not wish to insinuate that all our farmers are of this mercenary time-serving disposition, or to be under- stood to assert that every penniless candidate for legislative honours is disinterested in his motives, and consistent in his public career; what I wis’: to enforce is, that there are good and bad of both sorts, and that ‘ Mederator.’ by drawing a general conclasion from limited premises, vitiates his whole t:ain of reasoning. Another fallacy lurking in ‘ Moderator’s’ statement is, that every man who has an interest in the country takes an en- lightened view of what that interest consists in, and of the host means of furthering it. 1 was quite disappointed to see} stood than at present aman of his information quoting one of the crodities of | mutual advantage. Ephraim the Half-Baked. It is this: ‘If a man has your finger in bis mouth, and has any inducement to bit: it, you may fear, but if his own finger is in his mouth at the same time, there is no danger.’ When we come to apply this illus- tration to things moral and political, its seeming foree vanished instantaneously. Whatever impression it might have made on an audience of uneducated and unrefiecting rustics,a man of thought and reading should have at once detected its extreme superficiality and inappositeness. derator’ can have derived but very little benefit from his historical studies and his life experience, if they have failed to eonvinee him that men every day, and from the beginning of days, bite, and have bitten their own and others’ fincere ; considering. at the same time, that they are, «nd have been, performing a duty of vital importance to their best intercets. |‘ distraint-for-rent "* harnoss.—-Com. the Government for a horse, in the place of the one that had *Mo-| been shot while lately distraining for rent, and he was in- was ** Coles’ old Grey, they would send for him. ee : ‘ ‘ .

The Treaty commences with the usual preamble :-— ‘‘ Desirous of putting an end to the calamities of war, and forming into a definite treaty the preliminaries made ut Villafranea, the two Emperors have.named their Plenipo- tentiaries, and communicated to them full powers, and the said Plenipotentiaries have agreed to the following :— «That peace is concluded, &e. « Fraace returns to Austria the Austrian st war, but on which judgment has not bee eamers seized i ssed, during the oo &e. « Austria gives up tua, Peschiera, and special commission, “The Emperor of the French dec! these portions of Lombardy to the Ring “Then follow the articles concernin namely, the option for the employes of Pie to remain in the service of the two Governments, an the option of transferring within a year their goods to mont, and vice versa; they would, bowever, retain th i right to any property left behind them when they move their domicile from Austria to Sardinia, or from Sardinia to Austria. : “The pensions acquired by persons in Lombardy will be respected and paid by the new Government, which will be established, to those entitled to them, and in those cases, where it is so stipulated, to the widows and children of those pensioned. ar “'fhen follows the settlement of the debt, which is the subject of two articles, one of which is an additional agree- ment for the modeof payment. According to these articles, Piedmont is to pay Austria 40,000,000 florins (Conventions Miznze), and besides is rendered responsible for three-fifths of the debt of the Moate-Lombardo Venetien. Ailtozetirer | the debt transferred to Sardinia amounts to 250,000,000F “ Article 16 grants to the religious establistimeuts iv Lombardy the liberty to dispose freely of their private and landed property if the possession of such property is incom- patible with the laws of the new Government, “Then follows article 18, which runs thus :—Desiring that the tranquillity of the Church and the power of the Holy Father should be ensured, and being convinced that this end could not be obtained in a more effective manyer than by a system suited to the wants of the populations, and by reforms the necessity of which has been already recognized by the Sovereign Pontiff, the two contracting parties will unite their efforts, in order that a reform in the adminisira- tion of the States of the Church should be carried out by His lioliness. “Article 19. The territorial limits of the independen: States of Italy, which did not take part in the Jast war, could be changed only with the assent of the other Powers if Europe which took part in forming and guaranteed the existence of these States. The rights of the Grand Duke of Tuseany, the Duke of Modena and the Duke of Parma, are express!y reserved by the high contracting Powers, “ Article 20. The two Emperors will assist with all their power in the formation of a Confederation ofall the States of Italy, the object of whic will be the preservation of the independence and integrity of Italy, which will ensure the developement of their worl and material interests, and wil! watch over the defence of the interior and exterior of Ltaly by means of a Federal army. Venetia, which will remain under the rule of the Emperor of Austra, will form a part of this Confederation, and will participate in the rights and in the obligations of the Federal Treaty, the clauses of which will be established by the representatives of all the States of Italy. . * Article 21 stipulates that persons having taken part in the late events will not be attacked either in their person or their property, an can remain unmolesied in the two countries. “ Article 22. The present treaty shall be signed and rati- fied, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Zurich within 15 days. Ocher articles stipulate--That Austria shall be obliged to free from military service the soldiers belonging to the territory which she gives up. Austria undertakes to restore the securities and deposits of private persons placed in the publie establishments belonging to Austria.” ES THE MILITARY STRENGTH OF ITALY. The Gazette de Savoie says :—‘‘ We are assured that the lists of officers prepared at the Ministry of War are for an effective strength of 100,000 men, exclusive of the rifle corps and the military marine. In addition to that force, the kingdom will have about 600,000 national guards, completely equipped, a sixth part of which, in case of need, may be mobilised, as was recently done by the battalions of Genoa and furin. The military contingent of Central Italy is not included in the above, and its active army is about 30,0u0 men.
