Yo His Exceteency Grorge Dunpas, Esgr., Linurenang Covernor, Kc. May it please your Kxcellency—

Contrast, vour Exceliency, the conduct of the Protestant parson, Mr. MeCleltand, and his imitative son fn distdrbing the pesce of the country, and acting in opposition to the iaw, with the following testimony of the Hon. Baron Penhetather to the ‘« very proper conduct”’ of the Rev. Mr. Galiagher, a Roman Catuohe Priest im Donegal. ‘The Londonderry Senéine?, a high Courch Ascendaney and landlord journal, in its report of the Donegal Spring Assizes of 1858, has the following :— ‘ Rrpeonrsm—Six men were’ being arraigned for being niembers of an illegal sdviety, known as Ribbonism. Mr. Symly, Queen's Cuansel, said, that owing tothe meritorious exertions of thé Rév. Mr. Gallaugher the persons were prepared to plead guilty, and he proposed, on the part of the crown, that they should be discifarged on their recognizances. Baron Peonefather said, that at !ast Assizes he had occasion to allude to Mr. Gallaughér's very proper conduct, which had tended so much to the peace ofthe district from which the prisoners came. ‘I'he miblic were under a deep debit of gratitude to Inm for the part he had taken; and his conduct clearly shows what good effects aré produced by auch as he using the influence which they legitunately possess over their people te induce them to abandon wicked parsuits.” ‘The above, your Excellency, ts one out of many instances which might be addaced to «how the vigilance and anxiety of the Irish Priesthood, in the discovery and supptession of Ribbonism—a system called into’exisrence by the cruelties of the Orangemen, ia reduting to practice their worse than Diocletian code.

‘To show your Excellency that this language is not too sirong, in designating the sanguinary craelties of tbe system, {here quote a few extracts from the address of Lord Chiet Baron Fietcher to the Grand Jury of the County Wexford, a the Suwmmer Absizes of 1815, in reference io agrarian outrage” and their causes. You will see, your Excellency, that in the short space of 18 years trom its institution in 1795, that it had produced * the most mischievous effects.’’ Merciful God, how have these ‘mischievous effects’? been augmented since that period! ‘The Joyal, kind, the humane Fletcher uttered the fol- lowing sentiments : “tn the next place the County has seen 4 magistracy wver active in some instances and qitite supine in others. ‘his circumstance Has materially affected thé adminis- tration of the laws in treland. In this respect I have found that those societies called Orange Nocieties have produced mst mischievous effects, and particularly in the North of Ire- land. They poison the very foentains of jastice; and even some magistrates under their influence have sometimes violeted (herr duty and their oaths. do not hesitate to say that all associations of every description in this country, whether Orangemen or Ribbonmen, whether distinguished by the colour of Orange or of Green—al! combinations of persons bound to cach other by the obligation of an oath—in a leagne for 8 common purpose, endangering the peace of the coubtry—ure aad f pronounce them to be, contrary to aw ; and should it ever

come before me to decide dpon tie question, | stall not hesitate to send up Bills of Indictment to a Grand Juty against the in- dividual members of such association, wherever | can get the charge properly sustained. Of this [T am certain, that so long a3 these associations are permitted to act in the lawless manne: they do, there wi)! be no tranquillity in this country, and par- ticularly io the North of freland. There those disturbers of tie public peace, who assume the name of Orangemen, frequen! the fairs and markets, with arms in their hands, under the pre- tence of self-defence, or of protecting the pnblic peace, bo: with a larking view of inviting attacits from the Ribboamen, confident tha’, armed as they are,'hey must overcome defence- less opponents and put them down. Murders have been re- veatedly-perpetrated by those Orange assassins on such occa- sions ; and although legal prosecutions have ensned, yet such have been the baneful consequences of those factious associa- trons, that uoder their influence petty Juries, participators in Orange guilt. have, on some occasions, declined to do their duty.” And after having painted in ebon hue the intrigue, perfidy and murder of the Furnhams, Rodens, Ennishilens, Beers, &c., of that day, he draws the following picture of the Protestant patsons, the McCiellands, of the begianing of the | present century, the instigator and abetior of civil strife, cdcial \usurrection, rapine, arson, and murder: “ Parsons there have vee, differing widely from those described, (he had drawn the character of a Minister with the feelings of humanity and the hope of a Christian.) ‘These men identify their preferméat with the welcome of the Chureh, and if you had believed them, whatever advancéd the one necessarily promoted the other. Some clergymen there may have been who, in a period of dis- traction, perusing the Old Testament with more attention than the New, fanciee they saw in the Catholics the Canaaaites of old, and at the head of Orange yeomanry, wished to conquer from them the promised Glebe. Such men, { hope, are not now to be found in that respectable order, and if there be, I need scarcely add, theif names should not remain in the Com- mission of the Peace.”’

Yes, alas, such men still ezist to blast the brightening pro- spects of * lovely Krin’’—to jeopardize the permanence and stability of the British Empire—to disturb the peaceful industry of the Colonies, and curse this bevutiful Isiand with the dis- grace of Orangeism. The race of bigoted Orange parsons is not yet extinct. Thelast English mail brought us the intelli- gence that an Orange meeting has been recently held in the Rotunda, Dublin, to denownce the Bill recenty introduced into Parliament by Sir William Somerville, to repeal the clause in the Catholic Relief Bill of 1829, which debarred a Catholic lawyer from filling the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland. A reverend ermssary of social discord addressed the meeting, and threatened Catholic Ireland that if.she dared to persevere in demanding the Chancellorship for e¢en the most distinguished of her unrivalled sons, the whole Bill of [829 would be re- pealed, and the Catholics be again redueed to the condition of Helots in their native land. Vain, impotent, conteurptible ‘hreat, and just as likely to be realized asif the British Cabinet in its regret ai having given France the ashes of her “* glorious chief” should demand their restoration from the ** man of des- tiny’? atthe head of his invincible legions, over whom float triumphantly the eagles of the Empire, replumed for new con- quests with the victories of Magenta and Solferino. Catholic ireland’s reign of religious persecution has ended —her sojourn as a stranger in her own land (for the Catholics had no consti- tutional existence) has expired. ‘I'he bright “ land of promise” has burst upon their view; and although the Moses of the Irish wanderers in the desert of oppression—O'Conne!l—has been wafted in the spirit to his great Creator, there 1s a Joshua —ihere are many Joshuas—prepared to ford the Jordan. and take possession of the promised land. Anda mercifnl God is kindly preparing the way for this glorious event. Party strife and religious anunosity are becoming odious in Ireland. Inthe language of the present bigh!y beloved and deservedly popular Viceroy, the Bari of Carlisle, when addressing the nobility and gentry of freland at the,Cattie Show,held in Dundalk in August of the present year :-+‘« [he pariy anniversaries,’’ said his iixcellency, “of the last month hitherto, so productive of re- ligious animosity, have passed over without the provocation, msult, and outrage, on the part of the Orangemen, which pro- duced collisions with them on the part of the Catholics, destruc- tive of the peace and harmony which should subsist among natives oi the same country and governed by the same laws.’’ |

liaving dwelt at great length,your Excellency, on this branch of the subject, permit me to present another of its phases to the eonsideration of your Excellency. Orangeism, not contented with having saturated wit, blood the fairest fields on which the sun has ever shone, voyaged in anevil hour across the vast | Atlantic—landed on the free soil of America, and bas sullied

steady light shall have set ia the darkness of eternal might.

Yes, your Excellency, wherever there ts an Irish Celtic race

the throne is secure. ‘T’o use the language of your illustrious

countryman, Lord Jefftey: ‘* No nation 1s 50 brave as the Irish

—none so faithful to creed and country—with a courage and

devotion unsurpassed, thby are still true to their traditions.

With the courage of thair country they have cluag with death- like tenacity to the faith of their fathers, through centuries of wrong and ages of persecution.” And Iist, your Excellency, to the trumpet tones with which an intelligent Protestant and native born American sounds the praises of the * Gem of the Ocean’? * freland still has an existence a8 a nation. She has her universities and her literature, She 1s still the emerald isle of the ocean —an air of romance and chivalry ts around her, The traditionary tales that live in her lierature invest her history with beroic beauty. But she has no need of these. Real heroes, the ©’ Neil!s, the QO’ Briens, and the Emmeits, will be remembered’ as long as selfdenying patriousm and uncon- querable valor are honored among men. In every departinent of literature she-still takes her place. Where is the wreath her shamrock does not adorn? Where the muse that has not visited her hills? Her harp has ever kindled the soul of the warrior, and soothed the sorrows of the broken hearted. It has sounded every strain that can wake the human heart to greatness or to love. Whatever vices may stain her people, they are free from the stain of voluntary servitude. ‘Che Irishman is the man that is last to be subdued. Possessing an elasticity that will rise under the heaviest oppression, he wants only a favourable opportunity, and a single spark to set him ina blaze.”

With such noble quaiities, and possessed of such indomitable courage, the [rishman would prove fauhiess to his great destuny in battling against oppression were he tamely to submit to Orange domination, and live contented in a land where a rebellious faction brands lim as a slave. No, your Excellency, ihe Irish would prove unworthy of their noble descent, and dis- honor their national spirit, if they did not use every legal and coustitutional means to abate the evils of Orangeism 1m this Colony. Youhave the power, your Excellency, to prevent a ‘“war of the forces’’-exercise it in justice—exercise it in merey—your Sovereign will confess you faithful to her in- teresis—the Home Government will acknowledge your services with gratitude. The harbinger of future aud higher preferment in the service of the crown, the peaceable and well disposed of ‘his Island will look upon you as not ony the representative of the Queen, but as the servant of the Most High ; and your swn conscience will prove to you a Source of never failing joy und consolation, in the reffection, that you have protected the Lveace of the Colany, and watched over the interests of its in- aabitants, and freed then from the evil machinations of a band of sworn blood thirsty assassins.

I shall not trespass at gresteriength at present than by giving an extract, illustrative of Orangeisin in the district of Perth, Canada West. ‘The Perth Courier, a Protestant paper, giving a description of election proceedings in his district on the day of Nowination, has the following remark upon the Brethren of the * Loyal Order.” who claim the Hon. Attorney General of Upper Canada as one of théinselves :—

“ They (the Otangemen) appeared to fear neither God, man. nor devil, and were the most barbarous set of savage unciv. ised ruffians we have ever set our eyes on. ‘They call themselves Orangemen, we understand, aod defenders of Protestantisun. From such defenders of Protestantisin § good Lord deliver us,” must be the ptaver of every min who witnessed thetr ruifiaaly ‘conduct. Copspicvous among them Was McGill Caambers, and a red whiskered loafer pained Dawson, wir other scoundrels whose names we have forgotten. Such conduct 1s disgracefu to civilisation. A’ few nussionary preachers should be sent to Montague without delay, to try and convert these bardurians te Christianity. The Roman Catholics conducted themselves like gentlemen and Chri-tians, atid wished to give every mane hearing, be his views and opimons what they might.”

In cone!udiny this very long jetter, your Excellency wri) vlease remember that I have produced none but Protestant authorities for all | Have advaneed. ‘Their Ingh position, great intelligence, and personal experience, must command the reapect of your Excellency, and attach an unporiance to the facts which they would nor otherwise possess. Vheir wnani- nous opinion of the tmqttty of Orangeism and of ms utility, semy, mn the language of the present Premier, a thing of the past, belonging to the middle ages, should be your warrant ip suppressing st once the rebelliogy organisation before it will ave committed any mischief.

MENTOR,

which appeared in the last Monitor. This answer is given in the shape of a Postscript to the above letter, and—although we promised to withhold further correspondence on the subject —we are willing to give it a place in our columns next week, our available space in the present Ny. being insufficient. It is only an act of simple justice to Mentor to give him this opportanity of punishing the temerity of the silly defenders of Orangeism, who have been unable to assail any of the positions assumed by him, and who, even if they had the ma- terials, have not the intellectual power to reply to his argu- ments. Orangeism is clearly indefensible—the writers for the Monitor have established this fact by bringing nothing in support of it but twaddle and puerility ; that it is a diseredi- table institution, in the opinion of the people of this Island, is proved by the fact, that during the several years an Orange Lodge has met in Charlottetown its meetings have been con- ducted with the utmost secrecy—that it never did any public act beyond presenting an address of condolence to the relatives of the late Miss Maloney, and even then had not the courage to append a solitary name to the published copy of that ad- dress. While the thing has the decency thus to hide its ugly visage, we see no reason to be alarmed about it; and as Men- tor has given us a tulerably good history of its transgressions in the old country, we think it has little chance of obtaining power and inflaence in this Volony. The only danger there is of the Orange Lodge in this place acquiring any importance is in keeping up a newspaper war against it. If its members are silly enough to spend their nights in the back rooms of Mr. Desbrisay’s building swearing eternal enmity to the Pope and the Papists, when the Pope and the Papists don’t | care a rap for them —and worshipping the memory of a phlegmatic Dutchman that became scant food for worms 162 years ago—who had the chance of robbing his father-in-law of a Crown, and who, in order to keep it, resorted to all kinds of cruelty and spoliation under the pretence of defending the Protestant religion—let them by all means continue to waste their time and spout their nonsense, if they have a fancy for that kind of amusement. If they should ever attempt to do us any harm, why then we may getgMentor, and others of | his kind, to ‘ery havoc, and let loose the dogs of war.’’— Epitor Examingr.]

of office, and there are few offices but men of common ey, may pefform the duties appertaining to them. The mass 0 the people are cultivators'of the land. What they want % thitt their property shall be protected from persons demand- ing rent for forfeited land, aud they have generally support ed men for office who, they believed, would be most willing to afford them that protection; but they have been so often deceived they scarcely know who to believe. The Liberals say they were deceived by Ministers refusing funds to pur- chase the land, as they promised. If they are seriously dis- posed to have justice done to the agricultural people, now 18 the time to declare it, and I have no doubt the people will give their assistance to effect a change.

We have frequently heard of step mothers and others con- fining their relations to starve in cellars and garrets, on pur- pose that they might have their property ; and their victims would have remained to perish only for some fortunate cir- cumstance which brought the subject to public notice ; and as this Island has received the same step mother treatment from Ministers, there is a chance of being relieved by expos- ing the treatment as much as possible. It might attract public attention, and make the Ministers ashamed of it.

It is plain to any person that when a lie is told, however many may be told to support it, they cannot make it truth ; they are only so many more lies; and in the same manner when an act of injustice is done, every act to support it, or proceeding from it, is @ fresh act of injustice. As an in- ducement to British subjects to come to this Island, it was published in all the grants upon the faitir of an Order in Council, that unless the land was settled’ with foreigners within four years, it should become Crown lands ; but with- out the settlement of any foreigners, Ministers allowed the grantees to hold over and impose rents upon British subjects ; and as this was a violation of the Order in Council, and a breach of faith with British subjects, it required other acts to support it; and the Ministers gave the defaulting Grantees the Government also, with a staff of Officers at the expense of the Imperial Government, to suppress the law and carry out a system of fraud and robbery, Although the Govern- ments of the other Provinces were in the hands of family connections, stil] the public business was carried on accord- ing to law, while inthis Island the Government were not only a Family Compact, but they were a pack of land pirates, subsisting by robbing the agricultural inhabitants. [t was an easy matter for Ministers to allow the inhabitants of the other Provinces to elect their own Government, but it was a difficult matter to make such a change in this Island. To allow a Government to be formed in this Island to do justice to the people, would expose the injustice which had been done by the former Governntent ; therefore, another act of injustice had to be inflicted to support all the former acts of injustice. The Ministers would not allow the Gov- ernment to be taken out of the hands of the Family Compact until the Liberals pledged themselves that they would not investigate the titles; but they were to purchase the land to seitle the tenantry, and the Ministry promised to provide the means.

The people had beer led tobelieve that the Land Question could not be settled without a change in the Government ; and, therefore, they supported’ the Liberals to effect that change, not for the purpose of takivg a salary from one tan to give lo another, but as a necessary measure to prepare for the settiement of the Land Question. But the people did not know that the Liberals could not effect the change with- out a pledge—that they would not seek an Escheat, provided the means were allowed to purchase; therefore, the people should be informed that when the Ministers failed to provide the means for purchase, the Liberals were released from their pledge, and have no other inducement or interest now but to carry owt the wishes of the people.

About the time of the election in 1854, there was a mur- mar aginst the Liberals, owing to:the delay in settling the Land Question, and a fallirg off of their support. of which the proprietary party took advantage, and gained some who were elected as Liberals to change sides, which gave them a majority. But tbe means they took to strengthen their party opened the eyes of the people to the danger, and produced a re-action, the Purehase Bill had been passed, but bad not been acted upon; and it was the general opision that the Liberals onght to have a fair opportumty to put their own act in operation, which shows the deep interest felt in the country to have the Land Question settled.

This country is not like any other country where the

eople’s property is secured to them by law. The Ministers gave defaulting grantees a landlord’s power over all the lands By Jaw the lands are forfeited to the crown, but by a Minister’s despatch the improvements and stock of the inhabitants are the stakes for swindlers and sharpers to gamble for. The people may sce themselves that when they take the right course to try and bring the Land Question to a settlement, according to law, the landholder’s claims become of little value. But when the people throw themselves in the power of the landholders, that enhances their claims, as appears by the’ vote of lest session, whea Col. Gray got eighteen members to declare that the landlords’ titles shall not be questioned or infringed. It is quite a common’ thing for liberal men to defend the

pleasure of doing good; but no person can sympathize with robbers without some interest or share im the plunder; and as the property of the agricultural inhabitants is at the merey of swindlers, who have no title to it. If Col. Gray can render them good service, he will no dou't make a fortune for himself ; but if the Liberals come forward, and do their duty, the intended robbery may be prevented. To enable the people to assist in their own emancipation, they should | have more information, and leaders to keep them on the | right path. Wa. COOPER. Sailor’s Hope, Sept. 2, 185°.

CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.1., SEPTEMBER 2%, 1859.

We understand that some of our readers were a little sur- prised at the spirit in which we expressed ourselyes in a late No. of this paper, touching the apparent state of public feel- ing with respect to our local political affairs; and some of those friends have gone to such an unreasonable length as to suspect that we were actuated by a desire to seyer our eon- nection with the Liberal party, about whose want of organiza- tion we had spoken so freely, and to coalesce. with their opponents. We are equally surprised that our observations were so palpably misunderstood ; and as to the suspicion to which we refer, we can only say that it could be harboured by no friend of ours; or if by a friend, his iutellect and judgment must be of such a stamp as to render his opinion upon any subject perfectly valueless; and the loss of friendship from such a one is not likely to occasion us many disquieting moments.

That the Liberal Party—once so powerful—is sadly disor- ganized—that those who took a prominent part in advocating its principles are either not popular, or have, from some other cause unknown to us, ceased to take an abiding interest in its permanency —that this apathy on the part of the old leaders is become contagious, and extends its baleful influence to every part of the Island—that the Government, taking advantage of this state o® feeling, exercise their authority in removing petty officials without fault being found against them, and in-conferring official employments upon totally in- competent persons, which they would not, or could not do, if the Liberal Party were well organized, and under the control of a popular leader—are facts that cannot be disputed; they have been freely discussed in private by hundreds of our own party fur months past; and all sye have done was to give them a brief public expression. We see no good in maintain- ing a dogged silence about matters that are known to so many people.

The Jslander assures us that the indifference of the people to the acts of the present Government is owing to the late Government haying failed to keep the promises alleged to have been made to the tenantry to procure the establishment of a Court of Escheat. ‘[hose who composed the late Executive Council never made any such promise, ¢ither before they took office or after it; and this, we new belteve, was one of the great errors they had committed. ‘heir policy was—and we haye no hesitation in saying that it was one which commended itself to our fayourable consideration—to engage the attention of the Imperial Government to the condition of the tenantry by proposing an equitable purchase of the township lands, under which the elaims of the proprietors could be fairly met and satisfied. This scheme was carried out tosome extent in the purchase of the Worrell Estate and Lot 11;.and by means of the encouragement and support of the Colonial Minister the opera- tions under the Purchase Bill might have been yastly increased, if the proprietors and their agents had abstained from oprosi- But the former saw that the tendency of the Bill was to lessen the price of lands generally ; and the latter could not fail to diseover that if its operations were continued, their private incomes would be greatly di- ‘fhrough the misrepresentations of the two parties

tion and misrepresentation.

minished. combined, the Loan Bill was defeated—the Purchase scheme consequently fell to the ground, and the establishment of the present Proprietary Goverument was the result.

Now, if the Liberals had, before and alter taking office, promised the tenantry that they would insist upon Escheat, there is no doubt they would have kept their promise—there is no doubt the tenantry hoped that something of the kind would be done ; and if it had been done, we have every reason to believe thaé their tenure of office would continue longer than it did. It may be said that despatches from the Colonial Office forbade recourse to the Escheat agitation. The Liberals should have taken nonotice of such despatches, further than as enunciating the opmion of the Seeretary for the Colonies. There were despatches, as we all know, giving reasons for withholding the concession of Responsible Government; but the party who contended for that system gave little heed to the arguments they urged. It may be said that the Governor was not authorised to consent to the establishment of a Court of Escheat, or Enquiry—for we hold that one is identical with the other. Even so, it was not for his advisers to pause and say—Well, we shall not ask for a thing which your Excellency has no power to give. They should have told the Goyernor that they were sent to Parliament to promote the best in- terests of their coustituents, without reference to any Minis- ter’s despatch—that they had obtained the right to govern themselves—-that in seeking to establish a Court of Escheat they were merely exercising that right—that they believed the interests of the country required its establishment—that, in short, they wanted nothing but the revival of an old insti- tution which had been given to this Colony, as well as to the neighbouring Provinces, many years ago. The Governor might, indeed, refuse to take their advice on the subject. In that case it would be their duty to resiga. The same Assem- bly which sent them to his Council would not give him other advisers, and a dissolution would be his only alternative. Bat a new clection, under such circumstances, would undoubtedly | strengthen the spirit of Escheat. If by amy chance it failed 'to do so, the question was then set at rest. But if—as we

has attracted the attention of many persons besides myself, and that is, the praise which they give themselves*for having used great economy in the expenditure of the public money for the service of roads and bridges.» They say they have provided better roads this year with less than half the money expended on the same service by the late Government. They cannot prove this assertion. What new roads or bridges have they constructed since they came into office? — what wharfs have they built? If any such works have been done, will they com- pare with the Bridges at Souris, New Londen, Fife’s, or the new Ferry Wharf in Charlottetown? Will our roads now compare with what they were at this time last year? In the Spring the sum of £4 }ks. was given for repairing Goff’s bridge on the St. Peter’s Road. The Overseer of the District,

‘and a dozen more persons in the neighbourhood, will testify

that 20s. was too much for that job; and since the repairs were made, the bridge has several times been more dangerous than it was before. This shows excellent economy on the part of our new Goverument. indulge in vain glorious boasting ot thelr regard for the public interests so far as the Road service is concerned.
