THE SCHOOL QUESTION. «

‘Tar editor of the Putriat has made up his mind to oppose the Catholics on the Schoo! question. No matter whether their clains be jutt or not, bie platform is opposition and mis- representation. The justuess of their demands do not give him any trouble. When we show the liberality of Catholics, in other countries, towards theic Protestact fellow subjecta, we are sneered at and told we have ‘‘cloven feet," &c. This is the style of reasoning which the Patriot adopts whea it cannot dispose of our ts. We are not surprised at this con- 1 individual who had to give a pledge to ge Lodge in order to get a few votes, afterwards lost his election, is capable of stooping to any meanness, The following note, headed ** Private and Confidential,’’ will explain a good deal of David's cendact on the Education question:

“ First: That you will resist,to the utmost of Poriy nov tilting. ofthat say hereafter be formed, to endow, from the public funds cf this Colony, St. Dunstan's College or any other Sectarian In- stuniton whatsoever

“ SECOND :— That you will as st resist all attem pts to disendow Prince of Wales’ College, which is suvported by and accessable tu ali classes of Her Majesty's Subjects in this Island.”

The editor of the Patriot says that we cov- tended for separate schools. We deny the

charge. He cannot point to a single article of ours in which we urged the breaking up of ‘the present school syétem. On the contrury, all our writings had a different tendency. We wished to make the system more efficient than at present, by having religion taught in the echools wherever practicable. the Pa‘rist cannot be igaorant of the fact which we pointed out some time.since, that ‘there are a large oumber of persons who wish to have thew children religiously edu cated, and who would not send them to schools “where religion is not taught. Now, the Bishop in estab lishiog hie schools, was uerely remedy- ing @ growing evil, which was begining 10 be pretty generally felt, and which the legisiature refused to provide for. £f we wanted proof that reigion should form part of a school education, we might point to the-dying state- ment of the unfortunate eriminal Dowey. That he was an active maa ia bis own line of life, mo person disputes, and that he was capable of better things than he bad ever aceomp!\ished is a fact which all those who listened to his dying address readily adwit. But what did he deplore most oa that dreadful day, to bim, when he was launched into eternity? That “ he knew very little about religion in his youth.” And there can be no doubt that itis the waat ef this knowledge which causes «the ruin of thousands of individuals who mizht ‘otherwise be oruaments to society. The Biehop, with av insight of human nature far deepor tban most of his contempories in this Colony, wishes to “train up the child in the way he shou'd go,’’ so that “‘when he is olf hew if! not depart from it.” Ina mission of this kind fee shou d have the sympathy of all good msn * We aze sorry to say, however, the editors of pthe Patret not only throw all kinds of obstacles: in the way, but even resort to ridicule, avis. represetation and abuse when they cau find no - other way of thwarting his benevolent designs. The course pursued by them on the questioti of Education, is anything but manly. aud a healthy public opinion ought te frown them down. We spoke in ove of our articles, on ‘this question, of the systems of Education es tablished in the United States and Prussia, and characterized the latter as the best, because it recugnised the liberty of conscience and the rights of minorities. We contended that our school system, like the Prussian, might be made to recognize the rights of minorities, and we said that the persons who ignored this prin ciple were either ige-ran$ or dishonest. {a making the statement we had in view the assertion of the Patrsot, thet cur school system was & “noble one,”’ and that “ to alter it was to destroy it,’* an assertion which every person knew was not @ fact. Te an opponent who was actuated by a spirit of fair play, our mean- ing woald be apparent enough, and he would admit, with a good grace, a principle which he could not dispute. But how does the writer in the Putriot get out of the difficulty? Like the honest reasoner that he is, he garbles the sentence which he pretends to quote, and then proceeds to pronounce judgement upon it. The manner in which he does this is so cool, and at the same time so ridiculous, that we hardly kaow whether to pronounce him & knave or @ fool, but at all events it stamps him 6 tle dighonest creature that we charac- terised him. The following is the language of the J’atriot : ~ He (the Examiner) says that in two countrice

only “ bas a national general aystem of education

been triei”—Prussia ani. the United States

The writer who makes tats sesertion, accuses the advocates of undenominatienal education of dis- honeety or ignorance. Now, he, by the state- ment which we have quoted, proves himself to be either as dishonest a writer as ever attempted to cheat the publie, or aa ignorant a pretender as ever scribed about what he did uot understand.”

Which ef our statements does the writer in the Patriot disprove by the foregoing quota- tion? Not ene! Our article stands untouch od so far as the criticisms of that paper are concernel. Qur eontemporary may think he is very smart, by adopting this style of reason- ing; but he only exposes his own ignorance. He evidently calculated largely on the gulli- bility of his readers, but hie clumsy attempts at eriticic:ms only expose bim to that contempt which he deseryes,

With respeet to the Quebec School Bill, we e3n ouly say that the Colonial Press, of all shades of opinion, and almost without ex- ception, pronounce in its faver. Here and there, ac obscure sheet like the Patriot may try to find fault with it, but no person Leeds whet they say. Already, we gave the opinions of two influential Protestant journals on this question. We will now add a third, that of the Zvronto Globe, aud we are sure wher- ever it is known its opimon will be aceepted before that of the Patriot :~—

“ While the Schoe; Bill passes the Assembly un- animously, it seems tu be accepted by nearly the whole press of Lower Canada as satisfactory. Newspapers, both Protestant and Koman Catho- hie, which are ia ition to the Government, declare in favour of thie measure. Seldow, in-

ling in the Colony about our educational And if David would recind that pledge which he gave to the Orange Lodye, and do what he knows to be right, he would lend his influence towards furthering the cause of religion and morality inatead.of opposing it, as at present,

THE LEGISLATIVE GRANT TO THE WHELAN FUND,

Tue House of Assembly has manifested its bigness of soul and generosity of spirit by voting, for the widow avd orphan of the late Hon. Edward Whelan, the munificent sum of one hundred pounds (£100) currency, or, at Bank rate of interest, seven pounda, ten shillings. The gentlemen who hold the purse- strings of the Coloay wil! not, we think, cause the Island to become ban!.rupt by their gen- erosity to the loved ones of deceased eminent statesmen. We are a proud, independent, tall- speaking little people; we can feast American (Generals, nezotiate regarding separate treaties

with one of the greatest powers in the world; and we can show to the world our innate greatuess, and our gratitude for the serv’ces of him who, more than any one else, wor for us the booa of self-government, the foundation of our vaunted independence, by voting to his widow and orphan the princely sum of five pounds sterling per annum! From the tenor of the

nerous remarks of Hon. Mr. Haviland, Hon.

r. Henderson, Mr. Brecken a:.d other gentle- men of the Opposition, we think that they would have gone heart and soul with the Gov- ernment had the latter proposed to appropri- ate something respectable—say a thousand pounds—instead of the paltry sum of one hundred pounds, :

Our readers will be pained to learn that there were four members of the Assemb!ly who speke against giving anything at all to the Whelan fund. These gentlemen were Messrs. Duncan, Davies, Prowse and Howat. Mr. Prowse called for a division on the sub ject! The knowledge of this fact will enable our readers to form a just estimate of the mental calibre of the hyper-eminent statesman from the White Sands. Although Hon. Mr. Duncan spoke against the appropriation, we understand that he did not record his vote when th- House divided on the question. We regret that a gentleman who cannot by any means be calied small, should manifest the leaet indication of littleness in a matter about whieh the House was all butunanimous. But what will the country think of the great Liberal, Hon. Benjamin Davies, when it learns that he, too, prowed his big-littleness, by speaking and voting agaiust any sum for the widaw and orphan of Mr. Whelan. The re- putation of Mr. Davies as a statesman never stood high; but of late all sensible persons have formed a@ proper estimate of the man, and his action in this matter affords an addi- tional proof of the correctness of their judg- ment. Gur readers will not expect us to make any comments on the vote of the learn- ped, elogwent and profound statesman from Crapaud—au appropriate name fur the abode of the eminent Mr. Howat, M P.P.

The honorable and learned gentlemen who opposed the above mentioued pittance to the Whelan fund did so on the ground that it would form a precedent for further claims frem similar sources. Our answer to this flimsy objection is this- it is not probable that we shall have an Edward Whzian once, or more than orce. in a century. If Messrs. Prowse, Davies and Howat lived for one hondred yeara, and it the brains of the three hon, gentlemen were welded tozeiher and worked in unison for a century and a day, the

.

athe three little ones would not perform, in that peried, as much mental labor as the lamented | Edward Whelan could; «nd did pertorm, ina ‘mowth. With these remarks we leave the ‘talented triumvirate to enjoy the approbation af their conscience.

VELOCIPORCOPEDIANA.

Tae Summerside Progress complains bitterly of the nuisance caused by “ pigs” running through the streets of his town. We beg to suggest a manner in which these animals might be, at the presené time, utilized to a very great degree, especially as they may be ander the influence of trichine. We have been informed that, in the United States, those who wish to ride the Velocipede, in a perfect manner, perform their preparatory exercises by riding pigs or swine through the streets. There is no part of our Island better adapted fur the bicycle than Prince County, and as the art of riding this novel horse would be at all times useful, but especially at Election times, there

is no doubt but the “ Boy,’* Mr. Bunt, and their friends will make every effort tc keep up with the progress of the age, and will, there- fore endeavor to perfect themselves in this art. Now, as the “‘ Porkers”’ of Summerside are, we presume, quite as swift-footed as those of the neighboring Republic, we suggest that these much abused quadrupeds be used by the above-mentioned gentlemen, as a means by which they can learn te perfection the first principles ot equitation. It would be an en- courazing eign of the times to see the ‘ Boy’’ and his friends progressing through the streets, in all directions, at the rate of “ two-forty,” riding on the preseribed animals, and balancing themselves and directing their porcine racers by means of their auricular peadents. The deepness of the mud, and the frequency of dogs and cats, horses and asses, geese and turkeys, ducks and hens, and of other ‘‘ auimale and birds’’ too numerous ta mention, would ouly have the effect of making porcus give an additional grunt now and thea, cut greater shines, and consequently cause greater excite- ment, and would eventually enable the riders to attain to astonishing dexterity in managiug the two-wheeled machine, We would not be surprised should we, ere long, be enabled to record the wond-rful feat of the progressive “*Boy,"’ mounted oa a velocipede, riding up the “Hiil of Ag 40 and dowa again, something afier the fashion in which

“ King Pepin led his valiant men,

Firet up the bill, then down aguin.”

THE « NORTH STAR.”’

A late No. of the North Star contained a very sensational article on the execution of the unfortunate man Dowey. The Yankee editor of that sheet may indulge in senti- mentalism as much as he please; but when he attacks, by the contemptibly mean way ot ineunde, the highest and most respectable officials in our midst, we are compelled, from a sense of public duty, to record our protest, No officials in this Colony or ia the ones ad- jacent to it, are worthy of more respect than Sir Kobert Hodgson, Judge Peters, Sherif Longworth, and others, who are sneakingly attacked in the Star. If Mr. Ross and his American coadjutur are determined to bring our high judiciary officials into contempt, and to undermine the loyalty of our people, we promise them that Charlottetown will becom: too hot for them, eveg before the dog-days, and that they wijl be glad to skeddadle to the laud of wooden hams and nutmegs. Ross and his mentor brought themselves and others to grief before, and they seem determined on doing 80 once more. We are glad to perceive that there is a healthy tone in our midst that will crush out, ere long, the miserable, low plotting of mischief makers.

STOCK FARM.

’ Tae question has been repeatedly asked us, what is the Government Stock Farm doing for the benefit of the Isiand, and we found it quite impossible to give a direct answer. We have made some little enquiry since about the establishment. We find it costs the Colony some £600 yearly, and that it is managed by a committee of geutlemen well qualified to make it very useful and beneficial to our farm- ing population; but like very many of our Government undertakings, all the good result- ing from them are confined to a few ‘indivi duals. Instead of the widest publicity being given in al! matters connected with the farm, the notices for the sale of Stock, &c., are con- fined ta one or two favored newspapers, and the R+port of the Committee of management is laid before the Legislature, aud becomes a dead letter.

Now, we would recommend, that the Report of the Committee be published, and that a notice be inserted in the newspapers, correeted irom time to time as occasion requires, stating what description of Stoek is for sale on the Farm, thereby enabling farmers living in King’s and Prince Counties, to benefit by this large outlay of the public money, as weil as those in Queen’s. We may refer to this sub- ject again when we have time at cur disposal.

DeBvots, Esq.. the Fifty ninth Annual Report of the North British and Mercaatile Iuaurance Couipany, beld at Ediaburgh on Iet March, 1869 Rivke are taken here by the Agent, in both the Live and Fine Departments. We perceive by this Report that the Company is in a flourishing condition, a Divideud of £16 per cent, having been declared psyable op the paid-up capiial stuck of the Company.

We nctice that the North Star-has made an attack upon W. E. Dawsen, Esq., one of the most prominent citizens of Charlottetown Mr. Dawson, i: seems, in his character of Pre- sident of the Y. M. C. Association and loyal subject of Her Majesty, “publicly and iznomi- niously tore dowa the label North Siar from above {the space alletted to our paper on the tables of the Reading Rvom of that Iustitu- tion, thereby indicating that the North Star should no longer be allowed in the room.”’ Sach is the lament of the insulted “ Star.”’ We beg to condole with Mr. Ross, and to as- sure him that in our opinion such high-handed procedure served him right, and reflected great honor on the good sense and patiivtic spirit ot Mr. Dawson. The only wonder is, that such an annexation sheet, dependant on American sympathy of the worst kind, should have been iolerated so long at the Room. For many months Mr. Ross has been insulting the British subjects in this Colony with secon hand thrash, respecting the uvion of this country with the States, and he must not won- der if there comes an end to their forbearance,

Mr. Koss’s remarks on some former difficulty between Mr. Dawson and himself, are in very bad taste. They do not come well from one who is duing his best to insult and mortify the warm patron of bis earliest prioting efforts. Week after week slurs, ranging between the shockingly obscene a:d the ridiculous, are passed by him upon a gentleman, in Charlotte. town, by whose kinduess he was at first enabled to carry on his business, The story is the old one of the man and the viper.—Com. to S.
