Charlottetown, May 3, 1843. l liberals. A; [N o. 332- TO THE EDITOR or Tar. COLONIAL HERALD. Sir; The political character of your correspondent, Cutl- 'I‘IUS, appears in such bold relieftbrougliout his first letter, that I feel 1 need not hasten to pourtray it as a mean 0 fairly estimating the Opinions he seeks toinculcate upon tlie minds of his readers; yet I will endeavour to do so before conclude with him. Did I believe that the aim of this man was even chiefly to distinguish between good and evil; ‘0 iinstrip the latter ot the disguise which throughout the vyorld it is too often found to wear;to pointtc where, in any shape, it existed in the Colony, and then to suggest some rational remedy for its removal, I would not, in such case—although supposing him to he in error—obtrude myself on the pub- llt‘, but would leave to competent hands the less easy task of correcting him. CnaTins, however, 1 consider to be piir-' suing another, and a widely difl'erent, object—“ Evil be thou my good.” The Leveller, whatever his acquiremeiits may be, is one on whom the world but rarely bestows either its wealth or it! respect; and that conductand feeling which CURTIUS lalsely attributes to the superior orders ofsociety in this community, and that patronage which—with equal iiritrutli—he ascribes to the influence of wealth, are sentiments such as I surely need not point out to that reader who could peruse his letter throughout, without pronouncing Mr. CURTIUS to be the possessor ofprecious little, ifany, of either one or other of those desirable, and to him, no doubt, enviable properties; No, Sir, ifCUit'rius were to revive {agitation and streng- then discontent—even beyond his fondest hopes—l premise that, however varied might be their consaquences, he would . have but little to Inse or suffer. Like the loathsome insect, however, which derives its choicest sustenance from certain matter and bodies when in a suite of ferriientatiou, there are to be found men oftluit character who have something suf- ficiently valued to derive from the prevalence or effects of excitement among the many. III this country, vindictive- Iiess, or the gratification ofiiiiilice towards land proprietors, is a motive sufficiently powerful to some individuals, whose looseimd immoral characters have caused their preferred services, as sub-lund-agents, snb-land-sui‘vayoh', or even salaried sub-stewards, to be rejected. The temptations, too, which present themselves in the ideas of n cushioned chair, comfortable apartments for the winter months, and 'I'hirty Pounds, cash, per year, have a wonderful effect in drawing forth the latent sparks of patriot- r ism, and kindling. in the breasts ofsome, the genial Warmth which inspires them to advocate against the oppressioan the tenanlry. 1 may, perhaps, be unjustly imderratirig the feelings ofour nature ; but my observations are made, con- ceiving that among those who 'dip their car in the troubled Waters between landlord and tenaiit,there may be a solitary being whose labours spring from a different incentive than that which characterizes “the christian philosopher-Abe “ man of honest and humane reflection.” The credulity of the peasantry ofthis Island, and the fa- cility with which they have been imposed upon by the ngi-' tutors who have so long played upon their minds, is not so very astonishing us we hear at times remarked upon. The labour ofa new settler, who begins the world as an agricul- iurist, with a young family and without means, is certainly trying; and although by no means greater than that of one under the same circumstances in any part ol Great Britain, yet the disadvantages ot'a severe climate, and. the want of] ready money market, are greatly discouraging to his efforts; \Vhile enduring these hardships, it requires nothing beyond the low cunning ot the deiniigogiie to persuade him that the difliculiy of paying his rent is entirely owing to its being unreastmably high; that, as the proprietor’s ancestors or predecessors—some seventy or eighty years ago—purchased the whole township at a very low rate, to demand such a rent now—so disproportioned to the value of the fee simple then—is unlawful; and that, by a uniform resistance of pay- ment, it must sooner or later inevitably be reduced. It is by. this means, together with the circumstance of the press of this Island having, for a period ofyears, hitherto, by its too frequent subserviency to popular clamour, giving publicity to the ebullitions ofthe agitators, and oftliese being consi- dered intrinsically too ridiculous and conteinptible to be an— swered, that the people have—unfortunately for themselves— becorne so deeply prejudiced against their landlords. Hap- pily, however, during the last two years, an essential change abundant returns of the crops ; the rapid increase of settlement; the greatly enhanced value of lands ofall kinds throughout the Colony; but, above all, the decided senti- ments of Her Majesty’s Government on the land-tenure question, as carried out by the trunk and totally indepen- dent condiict ofour present Lieutenant Governor, have had wondertiil effects in opening the eyes of the people to the delusions that have so long been practised upon them. To none more plainly does this appear than the remaining agitators themselves. Their renewed and riew-liingled devices to maintain their “occupation,” serves but to shew how sensibly they feel themselves rctrograding to their ori- ginal obscurity, and also the dread ofthe contempt which they have earned for themselves. Like a set of hunted rats, too, on the floor of a closed apartment. the srrinller their number is reduced, the more desperate becomes their fight and efforts for existence The ragings and fierceness of these gentry are certainly superlatively ridiculous. For the entertainment oftlie mind, it is really worth while watch: ing the windings ol the more wily of them. “Discontent and disaffection (think they) arthhe subjects of our own creation—the fruits of our perseverance and industry; the success ofoui- fabrications, our imaginary evils, and grossly exaggerated facts, in relation to the land tenures. We are responsible for both, and have a right to apply them as we please;” and, constituting themselves the organs ofthe poo: ple’s feelings, the stream, against any object that best suits their purposes, and in the hopes of saving their credit. Thus friend Con. 'rius nssails the construction of the Councils. After pro- pounding that wealth and superiority are disqualifications to such ofiicial appointments, he follows this up by unflinch- ingly asserting that “ our Councils are filled with money and “ land and commercial monopolists.” In his opinion, a man who owns two or three thousand pounds’ worth of land should, on that account alone, be ineligible for a seat in the Council! Whether absolute folly or errant efl'rontry mos-r predominate with him here, it is difficult to say. And then, mark his further statement. After proving so profoundly this “rotten state of Denmark,” he continues—“ With 3 Le. “ gislative Council containing three land proprietors—three “ agents for absent land claimants,” &.c. How unconstitue tionnl! how dangerous! how unprecedented ! But where are the three proprietors, veracious Cog-mug? With the exception of the Hon. Don. Macdoiiald, What other member of the Legislative Council, by name, owns a quarter ofa Township of land in this Island, or any quantity near that amount? Yet CURTIUS stops not here. The old song of “ Family Compact,” must be kept in view. “Our Exe. cutive Council,” he says, “is composed of persons knit to», “ gether in every variety of'connection by the ties'ofblood “and marriage.” Could there be a more hardy and bare- faeed assertion? 0f the nine gentlemen composin that body, I will name six, Viz: the Hons.
