Iu these opinions of Lord Stanley's, we fully coneur. lodeed, as concerns the question at large, we have never cotertained any other; and never have we advocated any scheme or measure, propesed for rescuing the Island frou: the evils aud degradation of the serfdum in which it bas been so long held, which, to us, did not appear based upon principles of equity and justice; and earnestly as we have striven, with wany others— our fellow labourers in the geod cause—for the emancipation of the people from the proprietary

But both — the slave and the ten- ant —are justly entitled to emancipation on far other terms; aud bow long server may yet be the dark and deplorable might of bondage through which the doomed sons of Africa have to pass, the dawning of the day, we trust, is not now far distant which shall behold the entire body of our tenant farmers emancipated through a declara- tien or acknowledgment, on the part of the Im- perial Parliameut, of the inherent title of the people te the lands of the Colony as a public do- main—rejeicing in all the rights, privileges, and independence of freeholders.

When Lord Stanely rose, in his place, in the House of Commons, to move the second reading of “the Prince Edward Island Loan Bill,” he did so, with reference to that Bill, as the fully authorised representative ef the Imperial Govern- ment, of which he himself was one of the principal members; and, therefore, every admission made by him on that occasion of the injustice with which this Coleny had been treated by the Imperial Go-
