) However, let it be sail that thirtyâ€"two thousand dollars per annum is a handsome income in this frugal community ; amply sufficient to sustain the modest dignity which would seem best‘to comport with the tastes and habits of our public men ; and such, we think, as no public man of distinction wouldt at all dishonor himself! by accepting. Had the Union Act fixed the salary at that figure, we should not have had a word to say, but we regret to see that the sm fixed by thatâ€"Act, and which we may reasonably suppose the Imperial authorities agsumed would have been confirmed by the Ganodian Parliament, has been set aside for a little less than twoâ€" thirds of its amount, at this early stage of our new career.

No doubt {an honorable, highâ€" minded, painstaking man, in every way comâ€" petent to perform _all the official duties deâ€" wolving upon the Governorâ€"General could be found to undertakeâ€"their performance for even half the sum now fixed by the House of Commons, but then the status of the Do minion would be affe¢ted accorlingly. And it is just because we think that : Canada willâ€" be belittled byâ€"this vote that wo question its We do. not ‘pause to consider whether the duty of the office could not be dollurs, or even twenty thousand, because we cannot look upon the question as one of mere wages. It is one affecting the dignity of the country ; its status as a dependency of the British Crown ; its willinguess to sustain the position of the man whow Her Majesty . occasions, will continue to do so perhaps to the ead of the chapter, The Governorâ€"Geneâ€" ral of Canada was paid seven thousand pounds stg. per annum at a,time when money had a relatively greater value than it has to«lay ; before the general, so called, rise in wagesâ€" which was in fact only a reâ€"adjustment of the relations between money and all other comâ€" moditiesâ€"took place; before: official and ; cther incomesâ€"had risen to their present averaze: and now, by way of impressing the: whole world with the increased dignity which Union has conferred upoun the country, Parâ€" liament deciares that several hundred pounds shall be taken from the sam which was unâ€" grudgingly pud by the oll Province, at a time when its population was less by at least twoâ€"thirds than that of the Dominion, and when its wealth and capacity to pay were perhaps less by fourâ€"filths ! f We cannot say that we adm.re the decision at which the House of Commons arrived. on Tuesday morning, respecting the amount to be annually part to Her Majesty‘s represenâ€" tative in this country. Reasonable economy is very well in its place, but it is not reasonâ€" able economy, but a peany wise and pound foolish economy, which places the salary of the Governorâ€"General of the Dominion of Canada, at a lower rate than that paid to the Governorâ€"General of the.olil Province of Canada for many yearg. It cannot be argued that moneyis relativelyworth more nowâ€"aâ€"days than it was ten or fifteen or twenty years ago ; on the contrary, it is steadily losing its pwF. chasing capacity, ud{ saye but on exceptional Ir any one supposed that the position of the Government was injuriously affected by the vote of the GoveRxorâ€"Gexcrat‘s salary, his mind must have been very soon disabused Of the notion, for the Hon.

I use the word advisedly in its full and true sense) portion of the community. And first let me premise that the exâ€"parte statements of a venal press, of a press languishing in what they so pathetiâ€" cally describe, or were wout to do, as the "cold shades of the Opposition," should by no means be relied upon.

Probably none. But strange to say among those who style themselves antiâ€"Confedcrates, the news, startling as it was, was received eilum with stolid indifference, orapparent exâ€" ultation. a The: detectives thought it time to make themselves ecarce, but old Mrs. Hâ€"â€" would have a parting shot, and shouted at the top ot her voice as O‘Ncill made for the door, she would get plenty to eat when the boys came over, "they would drive in the cattle before them, poor laddies !" _ [The following letter, received some time ago from aâ€"friend in Nova Scotia, has been held over till now for want of space.â€"Ep.] To the Editor of THE TIMES ; Old Womanâ€"Yes, and a dâ€"d good one, too.

Mercantile confidence was sapped. â€" Banks were very chary about discounting even the best of paper. : Times became hmfer and yet harder. ’H:e nei‘ihboring Republic was still staggering from the effects of that ¢ruel war. } Everything was at a stand. Our.own intle Province was laboring beneath the pressure of a heavy debt, contracted for internal improvements. _ The tarif had to be raised to meet the interest thereon. But Confederation was a capital canvass. All our difficulties, all our shortcomings, all our distresses, whether agrarian, mercantile or piscatory, were thrown upon the shoulders of the Confederation Bill. _ * I am short of the necessary lprmmiovn for the support of my family," pleads the poor fisherman. "How can you expect to be otherwise,‘"" replies the stump hero, " while this cursed Confederaâ€" tion Act disgraces our statute book." * We are sold." _ ** Homesteads, parents, children, all, all sold to those cursed Canadians thouâ€" sands of miles away." " Execrate, hand down their names to posterity ; tell your ckildren to pronounce execrations on those who barteraf away your freedom!‘ The true state of the case is kept in the backâ€" ground. â€" The simple, unsophisticated fisherâ€" man is not informed that the Dominion Government pays all the interest on our railway debt, pays our Judges, keeps up our lighthouses, K:., and after all it is merely throwing our funds into a conmmon stock, for the altimate benefit of the whole. No! No! That would not suit their designs. So the poor fishermen rushed to the polls last Sepâ€" tember, gnashed their teeth, and recorded their votes in favor of whom? _ Why their worst enemies. In the meantime the expiration of thé Reâ€" ciprocity ‘Treaty threw that archâ€"agitator Joe Howe once more upon his own resources. " Othello‘s occupation‘s gone." Like the old man of the mountain in Sinbad the Saiâ€" lor, he has hung an jincubus upon the shoulders of Nova Scotua singe the year 1838. All the time the measure against which he has entered upon his crusade was being matured, he, witfio many others, stood aloof. â€" Nay, further than that. He was one ofthose who invited * the tight little Island" to come in out of the cold and join us. He met the late lamented D‘Arcy McGee at the memorable meeting in Temperance Hall, in Halifax, and was one of his most eulogisâ€" tic admirers of the day. He said to the Hon. Mr. â€"â€"â€", of New Brunswick, when he remark®d, " Why, Howe, why do you oppose this measure ; I always thought you alvocated Confederation." * Yes, my boy, so I do. â€" But do you think that I am going tw allow. the glory of the pet scheme of my life to be wrested from me by my most bitter Eflitical enemy, and he to obtain the fame ? u§ Oust _the present Government ot. Nova Scotin and fhen I will .show you Confederation." _ So acted all the party who claimed him as their champion and leader. All the time this important measure was in its incipient stages, all the time it was being matured, while the delegteu were on their important mission to England, on their return while it was in debate, the country was silent. â€" But when the first day ot July, 1867, arrived and the proclamation of Her Majesty was publicly enunciated then came canvasa No. 4. And this, too, was a capital canvass. Our fishemies had failed. Jur | ftarmers had suffered from the effects of an almost unprecedented wet season. ‘The prosâ€". pects of gaunt famine stared our operatives ‘ in the face. ] The late Government passed an Act for the construction of a railway from Wiadsor to Annpapoiis. This was canvass No.3. * Look here," says the stump orators of the shore counties east and west, "of what be= nefit .s this Annapolis railway to us ?" © My friends, pause before you record your votes for a {mny who expend the public funds so lavishly." A When the Conservatives obtained power in 1863, they boldly brought down the School Bill now existing. It passed the House by an overwheleing majority, its: promoters consisting of men ot every ‘Christran creed and shade of politics. ~But yet.â€"at the late election this was canvags No. 2, and a capital canvases it was. * What," ces the greyâ€"headâ€" ed sinner, * Am I whohave already brought up a large family and given them all the edu« cation the common schools of the day affordâ€" ed ; am I to be taxed in myâ€" declining years for theâ€"education of paupers ?" _ "What !" cries the erusty old rnch'elur, "am Ito be taxed to educate other men‘s brats?" «Down with such a Government." Sir Charles Tupper saw ht to give a series ‘1867, the year when. the House _ of Assembly was dissolved, or ceased to. exist by its own acts. This was canvass No. 1 for the Radicals. _ Crowds rushed around the various polling booths through . tlie Province with ‘the ery, * We are distranchised." "Who would vote for the policy of a Govâ€" ernment that would be gui‘lv of such a reâ€" trograde step as the disfranchisement of hug, dreds of voters atone fell sweep?" They did not stop to consider thenuthors of the wet. When the Radicals held the reing/otf power from 1859 to 1863, it was by a Jean majority ot four, . An Educational Act was lowdly clamored for, but with such ajsmall majority at their backa, the Solons of the day feared to risk their tenure of office by submitting such a measure. ; In the previous House «clected betore those who had gone out of power in the year above named, an Act was passed by the radicals altering very nuterhllly the Franchise Act. It provided certain qualifications for voters, that were not to take effect until aiter the clection ncot of 1863 but the next geperal election. This Act .was an amendment of the celebrated Act introduced by the Hon, Joseph Howe for the shilling rate paying suffrage, an : Act fraught wi h injustice and cortuption,.

In his ;Learl y youth Mr, McGee, with all the ardor of | an lrishman and a poet, indulged in romantic | dtesms ot Irish republican liberty and indeâ€" pen ience, and became one of that able but qimpracticable band ¢f young Irishmen who, after the influence of Danicl O‘Ccennell had faded \into nothingness, established what was at\the timt called the party of the © Nation.! This party, strong in genius, but weak in n'x\gcriuncv and statesmanship, merged mor» or less completely into that of Mr. Smith O‘*Brien, waict. took to arms against the power of Great Britain, and came ignominiously to a collapse in the widow‘s cabbage garden in Balâ€" lingary, or some\such place, Among others who escaped frox British justico on . that occasion was Mr, MeGee, He found his way to th« United Statessâ€"an ‘ardent, sincere, and con cientions republican, A few years, howâ€" ever, wrought a change‘in his convictions.*He h «d seen but the bright sige of republican li&ber ty bofore he went to Boston and subsequently to New York.

Finding no real liberty, such as be understood it, in the United States, he resolved to seek it in Canadi,. The search was not made in vain. Free to govern themselves by the voice of the majurity, owing only a nominal allegiance to the British Crown, and spared by the allegiance from the perpetually recurring and painful nuisance of electing m Chief Magistrate by the votes of the whole people, Mr. McGee discovered that the inhabitants of the British North American Provinces derived nothing but advantage from their connestion with the mother country, and that they enjoyed a fat greater amount of broadlyâ€"Lbased and wellâ€"secured liverty than the people of the United States, Thenceforâ€" ward Mr, McGee became a devoted loyalist, aud a staunch friend of the British comnection. He speedily made his way into the Canadian Legislature as representative for the city of Montreal ; and in due course becamo one of the most prominent statesmen in Canada, and a member of the Administration. His inâ€" fluence over his countrymen was great, and was uniformly directed against. Fenianism and every other form of disaffection to the British Crow:. He was an able as well as a fluent speakerâ€"in fact, he may be described as & true orator. He could move his auâ€" diences to tears or laughter as his fancy suited him ; and, better still, hecould convince alike the uninformed and the prejudiced, and alt=r the opinions of his opponents. â€" His failâ€", ings, like those of his countrymen, of whom another eminent Irishman so beautifully sang, ‘"leaned to virtue‘s side;" and he was so wise as well as so witty in his cups that his society was rought somewhat too keenly by convivialâ€" | ists, who liad all bis capacity for enjoyment, but little of his capacity for creating it. Thus like many other men of genius, he was led + into company and into habits that were prejuâ€" dicial to his health, and in some degree unâ€" | favourable to his reputation amongmore staid and methodical people.* He was not only a | statesman of a class far above the Colonial and American average, but he was a poct of no | . small power, ®n excellent prose writer, and a | sound thinker; a representative Irishman of the very best class. ‘The polish of Thomas Moorc, the wit of Sheridan, the cloguence of Burke, the patriotism of Grattan, the persurâ€" | | siveness of O‘Connell, were all more or less represented in his giits‘ and character. Above all, he bad the courge to admit that he had been greatly wrong when ho becamse & rebel, and the political virtue to adhere to the right course with unflinching zeal and carnestness as soon as he had discoyâ€" ered it. Hisloss is a severe one to the Canadian : Dominion ; and it the crime which has deâ€" 1 prived the country of Lis services be attribuâ€" table, as seems most probable, to all who know his habits, to the hand of some fanatical and bloodthirsty Fenian from the American | t side of the Canadian frontier, Fenianism will | © have ‘committed the worst crime yet laid to | ! its charge. .

He did so not with a view‘ of finding any fault with what has been done, but because parties who were inteâ€" rested in the matter have represented that cerâ€" tain mail routes received pretty large pay for mail eervice that was unnecessary, and that other lines of steamers had done the #ervice tor a less sum. _One gentleman haa acclared that there should not have been. any large sum for this service upon Lake Superior. How much truth there might be in the truth of these reports, he did not know, buy he was inclined to think that the Government had made the best terms which they could under the circumstances. He thought by having the papers brought down, the public would have a better knowledge of the matter, and, perhaps, it might enable the Government‘to make better terms next year. _ e Tussvar, May 5, 1868.
