moneyand the prompt accountability of public officers with regard to a proper selection of the subjects of impost with a view to revenue it would seem to mc that the spirit of equi ty caution and compromise in which the constiutionwas formed requires that the great interests of agriculture commerce and manufactures should be equally favor ed and that perhaps the only exception to this rule should consist in the peculiar encouragement of any products of either of them that may be found essential to our national independence internal improvement and the diffusion of knowledge so far as they can be pro moted by the constitutional acts of the federal government are of high import ance considering standing armies as danger ous to free governments in time of peace i shall not seek to enlarge our present es tablishment nor disregard that salutary lesson of political experience which teach es that the military should be held subordi nate to the civil power the gradual in crease of our navy whose flag has display ed in distant climes our skill in naviga tion and our fame in arms tbe preserva tion of our forts arsenals and dockyards and the introduction of progressive im provements in the discipline and science of both branches of our military sarvice are so plainly prescribed by prudence that i should be excused for omitting their men tion sooner than for enlarging on their im portance but the bulwark of our defence is the national militia which in the pre sent state of our intelligence and popula tion must render us iuvincible as long as our government is administrated for the good of the people and is regulated by their will as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property liberty of conscience and of tbe press it will be worth defending and so long as it is worth defending a patriotic militia will cover it with impenetrable agis partial iujuries and occasional mortifications we may he subjected to but a million of armed free men possessed of the means of war can never be conquered by a foreign foe to any just system therefore calculated to strengthen this natural safeguard of the country i shall cheerfully lend all the aid in my power it will be my sincere and constant desire to observe towards the indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy and to give that humane and considerate atten tion to their rights and their wants which are consistent with tho habits of our go vernment and the feelings of our people the recent demonstration of public sen timent inscribes on tbe list of executive duties in characters too legible to be over looked the task of reform which will re quire particularly the correction of those abuses that have brought the patrouage of the federal government into conflict with the freedom of elections and the counter action of those causes which have disturb ed the rightful course of appointment and have placed or continued power in un faithful or incompetent bands iu the performance of a task thus gener ally delineated i shall eudeavour to select men whose diligence and talents will en sure ia their respective stations able and faithful cooperation depending for the advancement of tho public service more on the integrity and zeal of the public officers than on their numbers a diffiidence perhaps too just in my own qualifications will teach me to look with reverence to the examples of public virtue left me by my illustrious predeces sors and with veneration to the lights that flow from tbe mind that founded and the mind that reformed our system the same diffidence induces me to hope for in struction and aid from the coordinato branchesof the government and for the indulgence and support of my fellow citi zens generally and a firm reliance on the goodness of that power whose provi dence mercifully protected our national in fancy and has since upheld our liberties iu various vicissitudes encourages me to of- lor up my ardent

later dates from england the inaugural speech of general jack son will be found in a preceding column wc like it for its moderation and brevity we are happy to find our cotemporary of the herald disclaiming any intention of imputing blame to the government on ac count of tho bill of cost transaction which occurred at niagara thi6 is as it should be we cannot in deed help putting tbe same construction on his remarks on this subject its we did before but as repentance is the next thing to innocence and as we would gladly res cue a brother type from 6uch society as that of the colooial advocate with whom we were reluctantly obliged to couple him we are desirous with respect to the matter in question to extend to him tbe olive branch and to receive him again within the pale of civilized society the herald however with a view we suppose to get rid of the portion of abuse which in virtue of his opposition office he must deal out every week finding no colour for charging the governmeut with this af fair makes a dead set at the legal profes sion and gives the public to understand that it is no easy matter if it be at all possi ble to escape these gentry of the long robe he charitably enough however reserves from censure a certain political elect even among them to whom doubtless he would confine all the ability honour and integrity in tbe profession now as we are not aware that it is any part of our duty in particular to stand forth in behalf of the lawyers and as they are seldom backward in doing justice to themselves we would leave the herald and them to settle the matter between them bot as the herald has given ao incorrect and distorted view of the law relative to hills of costs we feel it to be our duty to shield the administration of justice from such odious and unfounded aspersions and to give the public such information on the subject as lies in our power the herald says it is a public opi nion arising from frequent complaints of tbe like nature that a more efficacious remedy is required by law to correct the evil in question than the one in force at present if you receive a bill of costs from an attorney we are told yoo must get it taxed at york within a very short space of time otherwise you can get no relief from any extortionate or unlawful charge therein contained if that u a correct account of the re gulation it is obviously a very bad one and calculated to food the disorder be cause not one in a hundred knows how to go to work for a cure and it is well known how very delicate one part of the profession are to tbe other in exposing any defects of that nature another thing they may have been often stumbling themselvesin the same crooked path 1 the journals of the house rerpottbat a committee is appointed to enquire into the fees allowed by law to attorneys and re vise tho same we are not aware of that being the evil but the unlawful chicane and side wind charges that some gentleman of that cloth are accused of indulgiug themselves in together with the high office fees that the attorney has to answer for it is well known that there are many worthy and respectable persons in the profession of the law in this province who arejust and upright with theircli- ents notwithstanding the chances the law gives them to disguise a contrary conduct such persons are always held ni es teem by the pubticwho are quick enongh in discoveriug the differentshades of con duct among them now without noticing that the persons to whom tho herald awards the title of just and upright in the profession but whose chief excellence in his estimation we suspect to be opposition to the governmet must be lamentably deficient in their duty to afford no helping band to a fellow sub ject who ha ihe misforture to fall into the hands of a rapacious attorney we main tain that the law has been extremely care ful to aflord protection in this respect and to fence the subject against all abuses of the kind instead of a very short time to get his bill taxed as the herald says the client has a very long time before he is debarred this remedy and every facility is afforded him not only of exposing the injustice of his attorney but to have him summarily puuished for his misconduct by 2 geo 2 c 23 s 23 one month at least before an attorney commences an ac tion for tbe recovery of any fees charges or disbursements he sball deliver a bill of the same lo the party to be charged there with or leave it for him at his dwelling house or last place of abode this is before action brought to give the client time to examine the charges and to have the bill taxed but this is not all after action brought always until ver dict and in some instances after the cli ent can have the bill taxed and ia case he has paid it can procure an order from the court to have any overcharge speedily re- but granted that the client from ignor ance of his remedy and from none of the m just and upright in the law leuding him a lping hand pays an extortionate demand without any precaution of this kind i tne attorney safe from reproach and punishment by no means tho iu- jured rj may personally complain to the cour at any reasonable time after aod if l substantiates by affidavit bis charges the court can without trial by ju ry and p a most summary mannerimpusc a heavf fine on the offender and strike him off the rolls a

received the montreal almanack or lower canada register which has recently issued from the press of mr armour it is a performance that does infinite credit to the public spirit and ability of the proprietor and deserves every patrouage and encouragement from the public it is decidedly the beat work of the kind we have seen in this country we present our readers with the fol lowing extract of a letter from york 11 it would affo d me infinitive -atisfac- tioii io have it in my powtr to tell you that there was any change for the better in the proceedings of the as sembly quite the reverse is the fact the measures of the list week have ex hibited the same indifference o the true interests f the country and much greater share of the malgnani feelings which it is the sole object of a certain set to gratify no matter at what ex pens a jw daysapo a morion was nvsde by a creature of tho ume o macken zie who to their indelible disgrace the electors for the county of york have returned as their member that the ministers of the different congrega tions resident iu this town should be alternately invited to read prayers to the house the motion was carried by a small majority had there been no regularly appointed chaplain this motion might have been silently acqui esced in as in volving nothing particu larly objectionable but when it is known that by act of parliament this duty is assigned to a minister of the church of england who receives a sa lary of 50 per annum for the service it is impossible to view the measure in any other lightthan as being a violation of all constitutional principles and by such as understand the motives of its supporters it is well understood as be ing intended to manifest contempt and hatred of british institutions by offer ing an indirect insult to the church of england rolph with blushes sup ported it baldwin with fear and trembling opposed it i view the re solution as the worst manifestation of feeling that has been exhibited during the session my reasons i must re serve for a future occasion it was supposed that the ministers of the dif ferent sects would object to interfere with the duties ofa brother clergyman unlers by him requested thus fiir how ever no such delicacy has been shown failing to dislodge the attorney ge neral by disputing the validity of his e- lection the grounds of which were pro ved to he in the last degree frivolous and unfounded a second attempt has been made of even a more scandalous nature than the formor it appears that the mountebank mr wilj du ring the remarkable trials of last spring at which he presided in this tofrn took occasion to say from the bench that he should not rest satisfied until tbepubtc prosecutions were thrown ope t the profession as in england instead of be ing exclusively conducted by th crown officers and be subsequently m a representation to his majestys go vernment recommending this course this representation was submitted in the usual way to the attorney gene ral who in commenting upon it in his official communications with the head of his government by whom he was required to give his o i ron stated that he believed the present course of conducting prosecutions was satisfacto ry to every body but a very few in dividuals in the assembly whose oppo sition to evert arrangement and insti tution of the government was very in- discriminating by some means or other mr vvillis obtained at the co lonial office a sight of the dispatch con taining this paragraph which he imme diately extracted and sent it to dr baldwin the latter gentleman laid it befire tho cntral committee and fhey as soon as it was found tlwt the attor ney general would keep his seat in spite of dr morrisons petition di rected their champion to submit it to hie house and found on it a motion lor mr robinsons expulsion declaring it to be a false scandalous and mali cious libel upon the last house of assembly to argue upon tbe ab surdity and wickedness of such con struction of an act of duty and at tempted to be established forwcha purpose would be indeed an act of su pererogation little inclined as many members of the house appear ro be go verned by principles of justice and de corum i do not think a majority can be found to second the unconstitutional de signs of the enemies of the country on this fresh attack upon the independence of the elective franchise indeed if i may judge from appearances the eyes of many hitherto misguided but in reality loyal members are beginning to be o- pened it will not be very long i firm ly believe before the real views of such turbulent and disaffected persons as rolph mathews mackenzie bidwell dalton and others will be undersiooj and when understood their influence will vanish already schisms and dis agreements have occurred the young men of the country and the old men long resident in it of acknowhdged loyalty such as your neighbour thom son buell hamilton kilburn hen derson wilson the late speaker ev- ings lefferty and others have se veral instances refused to bow the knee to haal ii have opposed the schemes ofthe revolutionists they begin to feel that this is their
