Kesponsible Government—The Catholic Clergy— Vi ger—Papineaw. Mar. Eprtor :— The cry for ‘* responsible government” in these colonies at this moment so very general, is the old watchword ef the revolutionists of 1837. The party of Baldwin, Hincks, Lafontaine and Suili- van, mean no more by it than a return to their old offices, and the attainment of the patronage of the govermment, by making it responsible to parlia- mentary majoriues in the Assembly here. Ot course, they would fill every office and place of trust with their friends, and'to a certain extent, be guided by the advice of their supporters in the le- gislature. But their object is essentially different from that of the men of 1837, as the following facts will show :— Under the old constitutions, granted to the Cu- nadians by Pitt, Fox, Burke, and their colleagues, immediately atter you adopted the federal system of 1789, the Canadas were, in fact, a couple of re- publics, with no very efficient means for upholding the kingly power. Maay years elapsed, 1t is true, before the people became sufficiently aware of their privileges—and the moment they began to enforce epee by insisting on the abolition ef plurali- ties, offices held by one individual, to which no duties were attached, or of which the duties could not be properly pertormed by the incumbent—the moment they threatened to withhold supplies uaul men in whom they had no confidence were re- moved from places of power, they were made sen- sible that tue colonial office and its agents the governors, intended to set aside the supreme law, and entorce absolute obedience to their mandates. The crown seized the land revenue first; and atter- wards puid the civil jst, or salaries ot its officers, out of the revenue raised by duties imposed under English statutes, without regard to the peoples’ re- presentatives, their votes or their remoustrances. in those days, the representation in the two colo- nial legislatures was a reality, and accorded with public sentiment,untess in so tar as Lord Dalhousie in Lower Canada, and Sir F. 8. Head and his suc- cessors in Upper Canada, tampered with the elec- tions, after the manner explained in the report of Lord Durham. 2 When anew constitution was framed by the Duke of Wellington, Lords Stanley and Russell, Sir Kobert Peel and their colleagues, in 1839-40, under which the Canadas were united, without their consent, a8 one government, the old battle- cry of “responsible government”—that ie, respen- sibility to the House of Assembly of the Canadas, became a delusion, the trick of a cabal, who sought to rule the Canadas, independent poth ot England, its Queen, and the Canadian people. vur proximity.to Canada—y our extensive com- mercial relations both with Canada and England— the fact that a Legislature is to meet soon here, (at Montreal,) and that the struggle is between the Responsibles, under Lafontaine, and the Loyalists, under Viger!—these reasons incline me to be- eve that a clear statement of the position occu- pied by parties cannot tail to interest the numerous readers of your truly interesting journal. 1 have said that ‘* responsible government” in Canada, under its present constitution,is a mere de- Jusion. Why is this? 1. Not one man in one thousand of the popula- tion 1s eligible tor the office of a member of the le- gislature. fh 2. Towns and counties containing less than one quarter of the whole people ot Canada, send a clear majority of the House of Assembly. 8. The governor for the ume being selects whom be pleases as judges of election. Lhese judges are thus selected tor their political bias or views. One trial, under the new constitution, made a tew years ago, left imprinted on men’s minds the re- cord of more violence, crime, bloodshed and strife, than has been known at all your tederal elections since 1789. . 4. Ot the places which send representatives none but freeholders in the counties, and these with per- sons paying $45 rent in towns, can vote. Lhe great majority of the people have no suffrage at 5. When the Legislature meets, it cannot even introduce or puss a bill to mend a road or build a school-house, nor for any purpese, except the Gov- ernor recommend the measur ons 6. The British Parliament fixes the tariff of du- ties on imports into Ganada at its pleasure—all that the ColonialAssembly may do, to make some al- terations, with the consent of the British miuistry. 7. The constitution, voted in London, makes a permanent appropriation out of the Canadian re- venue, of many thousands of pounds annually, for the payment of the Canadian governors, judges, and a large number of the provincial tuncuonaries, who are thus placed entirely beyond the control of Canadian legislation. Another large sum is applied to uphold certain clergy of particular religious sects. A third appropriation saddles on Lower Canada, which owed nothing, at least two-thirds of the debt ot Upper Canada, which owed five millions of dollars in 1839. 8. The public revenue raised from the waste lauds 18 not under legislative control—that which the colonists obtain by local taxation, recommend- ed by the erown, they may appropriate, as advised by the executive. But it is clear, that if the sta- tute of England did not direct that the Canada le- gislature should assemble at least once in twelve months, a parliament could be dispensed with. It is powerless. It may meet to-day to fulfil the law, and be prorogued to-morrow with little in- convenience. In England, the billsto Pay the army and navy, and the mutiny bill, are passed annually. The government is, therefore, dependent on those who supply the two houses of Parliament with members. In Canada, the military is independent of the civil power—the representative body a sha- dow, unless it were to pass or approve of injurious measures, with the apparent sanction of a majority of the people. i 9. Lower Canada, with double the population of bas only an equal number of repre- sentatives in the Union Parliament. 10. The Senate of Canada, called here “‘ the Le- gislative Council,” is not elective, neitheris it aris- tocratic. It consists of any number of men the governor may choose to select—who receive no pay—may hoid any offi and sit during their lives. This body may originate laws, and can ve- to or amend those which pass the Assembly. It is a screen to the Colonial office, by which Lord Stanley can get rid of the odium attached to the royal refusal of a popular measure. It is stopped in the Council selected by his agent. th: 11 Almost every office in Canada is in the hands of the British ministry, directly, or through their agent the colonial gever.or. Canada is, and while it remains a province, must be ruled with strict reference to British interests. The responsi- ble government men wish to rule it with reference only to the interests of the accidental majority in the House of Assembly, appointed by a mere frac- tion of the people; said majority, and the wire pul- lers they enlist, to have the dispensation of the royal patronage, and the nominations to fat offices ; the governor being their prophet, and their “ m: istry” the chosen few whom the nominees of haps a fiftieth of tie people, restricted in t choice to one out of a thousand, may appoint. Can folly go farther ! ; A compact is desired, by’ which some twelve members of such an assembly as I have described would render colonial government apparently popu- lar, by obtaining other assemblymex to join them in voting one way, their adherents getting their share of the loaves and fishes, in addition to their wages, and a majority vote being held to mean a vote of public approbation although the constitn- tion has peavxied & species of machinery through which no such result can be ascertained. : “ Responsible government,” Lafontaine fashion, then—means a faction or fraction of the peels, holding the patronage of the crown to suit the pur- poses of a few—and falling back upon that favored minority, backed by that patronage, to ask a re- election. It isa worse scheme than the old. Eng- lish rotten-borough system, for that did not even pretend to a popular ot igin, and was in reality con- trolled by a powerful, intelligent, ancient, and home-raised nobility, acting in union with the great commercial or monied interest. 4 The Governor, Sir Charles Metcalfe, a well-in- formed man, with much experience in the art of colony-manngement, entitles his scheme also *‘re- sponsible governmen and would like to obtain the votes of the majority in the curiously contrived legislature I have just described. His plan, stripped of all special pleading, is to govern by his own dis- cretion and instructions received trom week to week from Lord Stanley, with the advice of Mesers Viger, Draper, Smith, Mo D.B. Papineau, Xe.; they holding the fat offices, and deterring to his will or instructions, in all cases where he thinks it inconvenient to adopt theirs. ie Fl Goneideriog that the scheme of a ministry did not work well—that Lafontaine, Hincks, Sullivan & Co. did nothing for Oy people, nothing for feos government—but merely partitioned out among their colleagues and followers in and out of the Assembly, 1 think the Governor’s plan the best. His, is his owa responsibility to Queen Victoria and her ministers, who have an interest in keeping Canada, India, Ceylon, and other colonies quiet He may do some good. His advisers may do a lit- tle. His isa mild form of absolute government, by an agent 3000 miles removed from the seat of su- preme power, and in view of the unequalled pros- perity of the U. States. Latontaine & Co.’s scheme isa bad constitution applied in almost its worst way. How can there be real popular responsibili- ty under such a system as | have described ! Knowing the men well, I will in my next de- seribe Sir Charles’s ministry, und also give you some insight into the private management of the colonial office with the various religious denomi- nations, Cutholic and Protestant, in the two Ca- nadas. Your frien id. Jean Barrista. ‘Washington. [Correspondence of the Herald } Wasninaton, Sept. 10, 1844. Dear Bennett :— What has become of your late correspondent in this city. The readers of your paper (who are very numerous,) are looking daily for a letter from this place. There is at present news enough to fill one co- lumn, at least, daily. There is not as many cflice seekers as usual, but many yet remaining forthe small crumbs. The President is determined not to make any appointments that require confirmation by the Sen- ate, knowing that none will be confirmed. He says, go home and labor for Polk and Dallas, and after the election then you shall be provided for— and rely on it thatyou will not be removed if Mr. Polk is elected, which there (he says,) is no doubt of. His health 1s quite restored, although yet feeble; rumor says it is a sympathetic aflecuon. He is most biter towards the Mill Boy of the Slashes; he has no hesitstion in saying that he is a d——a scoundrel, and uses this language not only to friends, but strangers; beautiful language for the Chief Magistrate of this nation to use. There nas been much excitement here for what is called, the great Choctaw contract. It was supposed some two or three weeks since that it had been given to William Cost Johnson, of Maryland, me six or seven others, from Pittsburg, ippi, and Tennessee, but some new lignt having been thrown on the subject, the Secretary of War will most probably give it to Mr. ‘Tati- madge, of your city, late Judge; Mr. Macy, of Cin- cinnati, and one or two others. The contract is said to be a very valuable one. It issaid that there is some seven thousand to be removed over eight hundred miles in wagon west of the Mississippi, and to be fed and clothed one year after their arri- val at their new home. : Great preparations are making here to attend the Loco mass meeting at Baltimore to-morrow. Senator Walker is sull here, aleo one or two members of Congress from the South, The secretary of War leaves on Thursday for Pennsylvania. The Secretary of State, Mr. Calhonn, leaves for South Carolina inthe course of the present week. y i The Pestmaster General is still absent, but is ex- pected home this week. : Coleman is making great preparations for open- ing his new house, or an old house revived, Gads- by’s. He has had erected in front a piazza the whole length of the building, marble floors in the sitting room, bar room, &c., and the name is sufli- cient to satisfy you that the accommodations will be far better than they ever have been betore. It willbe opened on the Ist of October. Brown’s Hotel has also been improved. | T am sorry tosay that your friend, Col. Stambro, formerly of Pennsylvania, was tuken suddenly ili this afternoon; his physician, the celebrated Dr Thomas, however, pronounces bim now out of dan- ger. Yours, Ke. 2.85 Boston, {Correspondence of the Herald.} Boston, Sept. Mth, 1844. The warm weather, militia training, regattas, chowder parties, clam bakes, and huckleberry scrapes, have nearly passed away, but only to be succeeded by a spirit-stirring, soul-filling series of lectures, concerts, exhibitions, and an enthusiastic Presidential election. Every thing has come ofl auspiciously during the summer, and now for the next three months every individual will be im- mersed in politics and business. Boston is again receiving into its embrace its sons and daughters fom the watering places, the sea shore retreats, and the surrounding villas, who retused city July and August domestication. With their return, bu- siness ia becoming active and politics engrossing. The National Theatre and Boston Museum have been very favorably supported since they were opened. There is a8 yet no new or attracting fea- ture at either of these establishments. The great success fast season of the drama ot the “ Drunk- ard,” wnitten by W. H. Smith, has induced Mr. Kimball, the proprietorof the Museum, to offer a premium of one hundred dollars for the best moral and domestic drama, suited to the company of his establishment, that may be offered by the first of December next. These places of amusement are tolerably well attended, but the first theatrical star is incapable of producing in this city a fureur equal to that of a “regular Cee a Mr. Mafiit, Dr. Lardner and Mr. Gliddon, can always com- mand a larger and more respectable attendance of our jecture-loving citizens than the most distin- guished tragedian. The most perfect representa- tion of Shakspeare’s plays fails to impart an enthu- siasm equal to a fantasie executed by Old Bull—an astronomical lecture, delivered by Dr. Lardner, or an Egpytian hieroglyphic interpreted by Gliddon. Dramatic exhibitions are far from being as popular in Boston as are lectures and concerts, and the ladies nere, who move and direct society, and to a great extent form its tastes, patronize lectures and concerts only. Few of them visit either of these places of amusement, but they throng the church, the lecture-hall and the concert-reom.— Let a clerical star announce, himeelf in a lengthy religious programme at the \deon, Melodeon,orTre- mont Temple, and he will have a house crowded with beautitul young girls, pious aged matrons and ee hope-expiring old maids. Elder Knapp and Brother Maffitt, by their annual or semi-annual visite, afford refreshing seasons to the lovers of impassioned and boisterous eloquence, and of female beauty—particularly to the admirers of the latter. The late warm weather has some- what relaxed the mental systems of the public, and unless we have crack preachers, lecturers, musi- eians and magnetizere,to act as a tonic, one or oth- er, or all of these departments of popular amuse- ment will become unpopular during the approaching heterogeneous preacho-lectro-artiso campai°n. Tam, &c. le Providence, R. I. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Provipence, R. 1., Sept. 10, 1844 The State of the City—The late calling out of the Milttary— Who are the Law and Order Men, and who are the Free Suffrage Men ?—Rhode Island will go for Mr. Clay—Improvementsa—The Weather. “ Order reigns in Warsaw,” I presume. At any rate 1t does in the city of Roger Williams. Busi- ness is jogging on in its old paths, and at its old rate. The carpenters and masons are at work upon many new buildings ; the old citizens drink their coflee, discuss their newspaper, (their champaigne for aught Iknow,) and the young ladies go shop- ping, flirt with the beaux, andattend to engage- ments. : ss The democrats took the calling out of the mili- tary, on the occasion of their late meeting, in high dudgeon. Poer fellows ! they cannot govern here themselves; and they are determined to have the next highest satisfaction, that of finding fault with those who do govern. [t is said that Governor Fenner, who is a very Falstaff in size, if not in valor, was at first averse to issuing his mandate ar generalissimo to the troops, but was over-per- suaded. A The political society of this State is divided be- tween lawand order men and free suffrage men The ranks of the first bag d are mostly filled with whigs. Put itisa little curious that this divisior ia officered mostly by nominal democrats, thus Fenner, Governor; Francis, commonly called Gov Francis, U. 8. Senator; E_R. Potter, representa tive to Congress; General Mallett, P. M., are ail what is called Jaw and order democrats, but ac with the whige. The free suffrage men are as uni formly democrats ae their opponents are whigs, and go toa man tor Polk and Dallas. To these are now to be id the Tyler » who have here, asin other places, stepped into the demo- cratic ranks. The law and order party are by their opponents Algerines, while the free euf- ' frage party are together designated as Dorrites. ; Perhaps these explanations are unnecessary to most of your readers ; still, 1 am persuaded they will not come amiss to others. | Mr. Clay will undoubtedly receive the four eleo- toral votes of Rhode Island, whether they meke him President or not. The State, it will be re- membered, went for Van Buren in 1836, but for Harrison, by a large relative majority, in 1840.— Mir. Clay is the most distinguished advocate and representative of a policy which finds great favor with our leading men. Our city is making her share of Lnpeoverents and, to tell the truth, they were much needed.— Several new blocks are rising near the Athensum, on Benefit street; others are springing up every- where ; while many old houses are undergoing @ transformation which will give them the appearance of new ones. The St. John’s (Episcopal) Society, are repairing their church, ‘the Grace Chureh people are buildiug a new and splendid edifice for their accommodation. Bishop Henshaw is to min- ister in it. i : : _ It has been quite hot here, to-day. Providence is a warm place in more senses than one. We hope for showers soon. If we donot have them, we must languish. Yours, &c. A. Z Middletown, Va. [Correspondence of the Herald.) Mippietown, Frederick Co., Sept. 9, 1844. The Honorable Amendment—Politics— The Tarif— Low Prices of Prodwe—The ‘‘ Tenth Legion” — ‘The Drought, &c. The community attending the late Camp Meet- ing in this neighborhood, are much hurt at our thoughtless specifications of the proceedings al- leged to have transpired on the ground. We take great pleasure in making the honorable amendment. No malicious nor mercenary motive can be impu- ted to us, in our offensive and unguarded descrip- tion. We had nearly five hundred personal friends at the encampment, and not an enemy as we ap- prehend among the whole congregation. We had no enmity to revenge, nothing to gain, but much to sacrifice from an account such as in the absence of the ‘‘sober second thought,” we despatched to the Herald, We regret that account, because of its susceptibility of an indiscriminate crimination— because of its carelessness of style, and apparent infidelity in principle, voluntary and without com- pulsion; therefore, in behalf of the church, in the bosom of which we were nursed, in behalt of the community, one of which we are, andin which we were raised, in behalf of the innocent fair who contributed so much to the beauty of the scene, and to our individual pride and gratification in their society, in behalf of the locofoco party which has been made to share in our criminality; in bebaif of the Herald which is working so successfully in frowning down disorder, violence, and injustice, and in elevating poor huwan nature to dignity, candor, and liberality ; 1n our personal behalf, the chief sut- ferer from the aggravation in the premises, and in the,name of common charity and commonsense, we ask of all concerned their condolement, their prayers, their absolution, and their benediction. We are serious—never more so. We serously romise to follow hereafter the more politic, pro- fitable, popular, fashionable, equable, temperate, and judicious course of technical criticiem or un- qualified praise Verbum, &c. a We still, however, believe that Pelk and Dallas will carry the State of Virginia by at least 5,000 mujority—that the whigs have little faith in Mr. Rives, not suflicient to remove the mountain of in- credulity—and that Hon A. H. H. Stuart, if he ushes forward, will be likely to supercede Mr. R. in the United States Senate. The protective tanff is eating up the farmers ot this valley and State, ‘root and branch.” Flour, their great staple, sells at Winchester at from $3 25 to $3 60, wheat, corn, We., at a pro- portionate price. ‘*Protection,” cry the larmers— ‘protectiou—there 18 no protection” —it 18 all taxa- tion. Our democratic friends want to know the pelitical prospect in the Empire State. Major Davezac am signs it to Polk and Dallas by 20,000. Horace Greely gives it to Clay and #relingbuysen by 20,000—tuke one from the other and nething remains. Is the State going for nobody— is the vote of New York to. be thrown away asablank? Give us the impartial opinion of the Herald. : j In a tew days the whigs propose holding « great meeting, we understand, in the very heart of the “Tenth Legion,” viz: at Woodstock, in Shenandoah county. It will be ammuniuon wasted. They might as well try to prove to the honest yeomen of Shenandoah that sourkrout is not wholesome, as attempt to ingratiate whig prin- ciples upon their minds. It can’t be done—no more than Mr. Van Buren could be persuaded to go for unconditional aunexauion, The tallow ground and pastures have suffered much for wantof rain.
