But, as it in, I believe the Compost which I now submit in, in strength and fitness, better adapt- ed to the growth of root crops, and to the peculiar circuiiistnnces of the farmers and the soil of Prince Edward Island. than the bent Guano of Peru. But I hope your Excellency will allow the moral of this example of England to have its due weight upon your mind. If England. old England, agricultural En land, golden England. seen and feels the necessity ofiiiiproviiig liar ii rieulture, by offering such it rich reward to those who will supply or with raw material, over and above the present iiiiiiiense nianuriil importation, why what does it tench this III|p0VeI'l5lId(I inf~iiit colony, dependent u on agri- culture alunc for every morscl of bread to bring her up an sustain er .’ The modern farmer acts upon very dillisrcnt principles, and rea- eoiie trotn very dilfereut promises, than tie print generation: he does not look so much at price as qu:rnti!y——tbe old farmer looks at the price of a uarlcr o wheat; the modern looks at the pro- duce of an acre of nnrl;—t ie old liiriner looked at what the land would then yield; the modern looks at \VlI.’lI it can be mall: to yield, if appliances within the compass of his talent and induetry are brought to bear upon it; while the artificial mound of ‘ protection ' sustained the price, the acreage principle was not thought about; but now the case is altered; and, seeing the pro it of price in so greatly reduced, it tnust be met by the profit ofquiuitity; therefore, Liiglnnd calls up all her energies, scientific and practical, to work her inacliiiiery up tofiill time, that, by her iiicrcasnd pro-.luctions, she may be able to sell forty bushels oftvheut ntfioe shillings, in- stead of twenty-four bushels tit seven slit’/li'ng.r,—:i little iiritlimetic will show the wisdom and prolit ofnucli ii proceeding. Apply the same principle here, uiidl would rather produce sixt bushels of oate at one shilling and sixpence per bushel, than tiirty bushels at two shillings or even two shillings and sit once: because, he- sides the immediate profit, there are so many collateral beneliin re- snliing from quantity over price.

My Dmr Sir,-— I have to acknowledge your kindness in forwarding me the papers on Phonnzrapliy or the new spelling Reform, which cavne to hand a few weeks ave. Aecoinpanying these was the suggestion, that the phonetic alphabermay be rendered serviceable in teaching pupils the true pronunciation of un- couilily spelled words and the names of places, &c. I have not yet made 'an experiment in this way, but of its practicabili- ty Ientertain not the least doubt. lf Walker and other Lexicoznaphers were alile to show the true pronunciation of words of intricate and siiperfiiious ortho- grapliy, by means ofthe limited alphabet which they had at command, how much more easily may it now be done by an alphabet which embraces all the simple sounds of the English language? For the pronunciation ofthe \\’l)l‘(I plilrgm, Wal- ker gives the letters f-l-e-m, with a figure 2 placed over the vowel e, to indicate that it is to be pronounced like e in met; and for the pronunciation ofphlgme, which is a word ofu dif- ferent meaning, he gives the same letters, with n figure I over the letter e, to show that it is to be sounded like e in me. Now would it not be mtich more convenient to have two vowels repre- senting these different sounds,so that each of them could always be used to eitliihit the true and nattiral pronunciation of the words referred to, and all other words containing similar’ soun s. But I go further than this. I am fully persuaded that the Phonetic orthography,m:iy and ought entirely to supersede the old. If an alphabet can be devised and employed, which will ...represent in.a plain. simple, natural, and intelligible manner, each sound in a word, how absurd and unphiloeophical must it be to use it barbarous jumble of vowels and consonants, which can convey no definite sound whatever ! The object of spell- ing should he, to lead the learner or reader to a true pronun- ciation of words; but so different from this is our present nice I submitted at first to your Excellency, in ntllrm-‘ mode, that were we to pronounce our English tongue according to our preeent established orthography, our language would no longer be what it is as now spoken, but aconfused jargon of unuttcrable sounds and unintelligible croaltings. tithing can be more inconsistent and superfluous than our present ortho- graphy. The most uncouth and fantastical sounds which the organs ofthe human voice are ctpzible of uttering, were they represented by characters for the purpose of writing, could al- most as easily and consistently, be formed into syllables and words, as our Eiigliali alphabet; according to our present standard system ofspelling. The vowel, a, for instance, is usetl to represent several different sounds, and_enters into the spelling of hundreds of words in which any of its sounds in ne- vi-r heard; while on the other hand, it is never found in hundreds of other worils wliioli contain its real legitimate sound. And so with all the rest ofthe Eiigli~h vowels. The consonants also, are tortured into the moat awkward forms, and jumbled together into the most barbarous combinations tint can possibly be iniaginetl. What a medley of letters is tlirown together to represent the words, rlrachm, plilhirir, ylccpctl, wroug/it, and hundreds of others which I need not wait in instance. The spelling of such words tends to bewil- der a learner or foreigner, rather than lead him to the esta- blished pronunciation of words. Common words become la- miliar to us by use, and by a long and constant habit of seeing them vvritten,iinil not instant: n.-ously by their spelIing,and there fore we forget the time it totik, and the pains it cost us to re- concile us to their present , " croo t L __ _ ' I And this shall continue to be the case, until a better and more riitiorirtl system shall supersede the one now in u e ro- per name spelled with a dozen letters, may freqiienil__v, if no generally, be pronounced a dozen dillbrent ways 3 and if merely pronounced before persons who may have_occ:ision to write it, but who never saw it written, may g‘ a rise to a dozen difi'er- eiit spellings. It is said that Ilalliwell collected no fewer than 34 methods of spelling Sliakespear's name, actually employed at different times by members of his own family! The simple powers or mime-sounds of our alphabet, form no guitle to lo- reiizners iu pronouncing the English language. In a thousand dilhculties, he can find no rule of oriliography to direct or as- nist him. I knotv an individual now residing in Cliarltittetoivn, who once attended my School, that could read any ordinary Er-irlisli composition pretty fluently, when he lirst came to me, and when I tried him in spelling, not three words in an ordin- nrily sized page could he spell correctly. that is, according to our present standard system of ortliograpliy l And upon asking him how he was enabled to read never having spelled any of the words, he said he used to follow others reading until he etinld distinguish each word by its look. A nice way to learn to read ! Now it is evident, that any fixed hieroglyphic sym- bols, one of which would represent each word in the anguage, would an noon enable a person to read. as ilie manner by which this man acquired this useful art. Those who Will like the tronb'e of narrowly investigating it flirtliemsclvee, will find the English alphabet to consist, not of 26 letters only. but of about Tito Ituridreil. To illustrate. When two or more let- ters are used to express what can or_ouglit to be expressed by one, the eomblnzitioii is called it digraph. These digraphs may, or rather must, be looked upon as single letters; for they have not the value or power ofn cotribination of letters, but of one letter. Iliit to dwell on ilila point is unnecessary ; let one example tlierelore sufiice. dhe digraph ch, in used to represent three distinct sounds: Vim, those of It, llh._Ind 3- It represents the firat ofiheee in character, the second in char- ter, and the third in clieise. Now, how is a learner to distin- giiieh when to give it one of these sounds and when the otheiel There is no rule to guide him, and the words in which i: has each of these different pronunciations are very numerous. The word gotta perclin, ie a comparatively new one ; hence some pronounce it gotta perko, and others gtitta ptrtrtin, the latter pronuneletion, being, _I believe the correct one; but an- leee custom fix the pronunciation, no rule oforthogrephy will what I have abruptly to submit to your Excellency'n approval is, @fia$gtt, D, TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, I852.
