[" l'UH [HER I XTRACTS FROM LATE ENGLISH PAPER'.POISONING.la tha town ofU lion 'here are three vriy evil customs The first custom is, that husbands get di auk ; the second, that wives adminLter to them when in ibis stn e, without lh.tr knowledge, powders ot tartarztd antitnony ; the third, that hybtid dtugg\u2019S s that is, shopkeepers, halt' druggists, half grocers\u2014rtlt these powdets to all applicants un 'er tie name of \u201cquietness.\" In other words, the husband gets drunk, the druggist sells poison, the wpe purchases it,and alays her husband.No*1, it would he far too much to s.\tv that under ordinary circumstances tlie wife delbnately intends to take her husband\u2019s life.\u2014 Brutal ignorance and the lo^ceo-f eramule have lar more to do with this n suit than malignity und set purpose.The.conscqtiencns are not the less fatal.\u201c Quietness\" is secured at the pace of existence The drunken fit o( li!e is over, and ti e wretched man sleeps peacefully at last in his uthonc.uted grave Now, this is a very terrible slate of things.It is right that drunkards should be reformed, but it is wrong that wives should be empowered to award against them the sentence cf death ns a punishment for their offence.It is n great reproach against our police regulations that such a thing is possible as the purchase of drugs whi.h can dislroy life, even when administered in serial doses.The subject, no doubt, including, as it dees, the whole chapter of quack medicines, is encompassed with difficulties ; but these ate not ot a nature which might not readily be overcome with a little attention and determination.Piobobly, the best re3ource in the existing s'ate of ths law would be to put it stringently in force against tho vendor of poisonous dtugs \u201c t think\" it tight to state,\u201d said Mr.Justice Wtlles on Satniday at Liverpool, \u201c that if any persons engaged in the sale of \u2022 tugs choose to sell to married women poisonous drugs without the knowledge of their husbands, and well knowing that they are intended to be administered to their husbands, no mat er lor what put pose, and dtath ensues, all persons so acting me equally guilty of manslaughter.\u201d It is almost superfluous to state that the criminal liability of the druggist is not in any degree affected by the conjugal posiliou of the parties.Whether the poison be sold to wife or husband, father or mother, daughter or son, to A or to B, mutters not, under the conditions expressed by the learned Judge ; the vendor of the poison is liable to indictment.We should not be torry to see tho effect of one exhibited on the druggist who figured in the case tried on Friday and Saturday oflastwtek at Liverpool.The case, in brief^ Blood somewhat as follow's : Betsy McMullan was indicted for the wilful murder of Daniel McMullan, h r husband, at Bolton, by poisoning him by small doses of antimony.The deaceated was a flour de.ler.He and his wife app nr to have lived on very bad terms.They Wete both drunkards, and, if the glimpse we get at the interior of the household may be (accepted as true for other establishments ol the same kind, the family arrangements of petty tradesmen in our provincial towns me not in a very satisfactory condition.Sometimes the husband was drunk\u2014somelimes the wife, but when Hie husband was drunk the fit was usually of three days\u2019 duration.Other causes, however, uppenr to have been at work besides drunken frenzy.The husband, strange as it may appear, was jealout cf his wife, and some man, who in the proceedings is called \u201c Peter,\u201d disturbed his tranquility in the intervals cf his drunken fits.This oeing the stats of things, Betsy McMullan went to the shop of a druggist at Bolton called Himpson, and asked for some \u201c quietness,\u201d or \u201c quietners;\u201d the terms appear to be indiffèrent ly used.\u201cQuietness\u201d means a powder of antimony and cream of tartar.It is sold at Bolton for the purpose of being given to drunken men.It makes them sick, and induces great pros\u2018ration of strength.\u201cThe powders,\u2019|saii Mr.Simpson; the druggist, \u201care used by factory operatives to \u201c clear cotton from their stomachs.I don\u2019t re-\u201c member ever to have seen a man come for \u201c these powders.We always tell purchasers to \u201c divide each powder into f ur doses We sell \u201c about five every week.\u201d The fact is, that men are not the purchasers, but women, and they procure them to sicken their husbands of drunkenness, or to relieve them cf the effects of it, rs the case may be Be this, however, as it msy, Betsy McMullan seems to have been a constant parch t-ser ; she mixed thu \u201c q ietuess \" with her husband\u2019s broth\u2014with the gravy of hit meat -with the mess prepared (or his supper\u2014in short, with whatever he ate or whatever he drank.At last the suspicions of the servant girl who woi ed in the house were excited, and one night, whan ter mistress was beastly drunk, she took some cf the \u201cquietness\u201d powder from her pocket, and ths, af.er passing though the hinds of two or more young women, was finally handed to the doctor for examination.Not only did Besty M\u2019Mullan for a considerable period continue to mix the powder wi\u2019.h her husband\u2019s food, but even when ho lay in his last illness, and a few days before his death, she tampered with his medicine.She was seen by the servant girl to put some white powder into a glass cup, and to put a little water into it.She then put this water intu a bott\u2019e of medicine, intended for her husband\u2019s use, and Shook it up Having done this, she poured out Borne of the medicine into the cup, and walked up stairs into the room in which her husband was lying on his deathbed.She came downstairs presently with the cup\u2014empty, As the learned counsel for the defence did not attempt po dispute the fact that the death of the deceased was caused by antimony, it wcu\u2019d be idle to waste words upon the medical evidence.The only question is, was ths wretched woman aware that she was poisoning her husband ?Did she deliberately intend to shorten Lis life, or was she simply messing and tampering with quack medicine, as ignorant people will do?Dpoa the whole evidence the ju'y came to the conclusl m that a verdict of \" iManslaugliter\u201d would satisfy the justice of the case, although, for the satisfuc-tiou of their conscience!, they accompanied this verdict with the remark that they had 11 taken a very merciful view of the case.\u201d We will not, in a case to which it is possible to admit doubt, impugn the decision at which these gentlemen arrived, although we think most persons who read the evidence will beof ihesameopinion with the jury themselves\u2014namely, (hit they took a merciful\u2014a very mere fal - view of the case.There may, however, have been something in the demeanour of the witnesses, or of the wretched creature herself, which we cannot appreciate Whatever may have been the prisoner\u2019s ign'r-anee ns to the effect of this \u201cquieti.e.-s\u201d powder at tte outset of her assaults upon her husband's life\u2014drunken and besotted bc-ast as she was \u2014 fiije must have marked the effect they produced upon him, not once, but constantly, and through oat a long period of time.The man was rendered sick, bis strength was prostrated, and a train ol distressing .symptomsinvariably followed on the repetition of the dose.Why, Iheu, unless there existed the intention to destroy life, should the system have beeiV continued ; and that, too, when the dying man was in the hands of compe-(aut medical attendants ?'This was not the case ot ft person who, unable to obtain advice, is driven to act upon his or her own responsibility.The woman must have been convinced even to fanaticism of the value of lier panacea if she yfinlur.d to introduce it-wi'h a good intent \u2014 into the medicines prescribed by the doctors, and without their privity or knowledge.Such considerations as these must present themselves to the mtud of the mere reader who is compelled to arrive at bis decnion iron} tfis report alone, but the jury may have seen cause for modifying the well nigh irresistable force of the evidence as printed.So we leave the individual case; but it is impossible not to feel the gravest alarm when we raatk the repetition of offences such as th'se A few days hack we reported the trial of a woman who was indicted for endeavoring to murder her husband by means of arsenic.The woman was acquitted, although the ease was one of the gravest suspicion.She procured the arsenic, which her husband certainly swallowed, whether she intended hig death or not, from a wre'ched shopboy, who handed it to her as complacently ns though it had been a pound of figs.Here again we have the case of a woman who is able to procure a poisonous drug, with which she absolutely kills her husband, whether designedly' or not again we will not say : but she procures it as reaoi\u2019y as starch or sago.The point is one which should receive the instant and most anxious considérât,on of the II tmeSe-relary.FRANCE.The government feels much anxiety on tho su'ject of the high raie of house rent, which,like all other necessaries of life, has long gone on increasing in a frightful proportion.Every quar- t.\tr-duy reals are raised, and a stream of emigration of the midcle and lower classes fiom Faiis to the suburbs, lies steadily set in.The distance from the centre of Paris to the barriers is so great that the lime lost in going baekwaids and tor-words is a veiy seiiuus drawback upon the laborers\u2019 earnings ; and beside?, it is an old observation, that if the skilled workman passes his evenings in a locality where there is no other attraction than the ciurct, instead of in the gay ttieets, where he may see in every shop window opecimena of handicra't, calculated to excite his (motion, he will be likeiy to \u201cforget his cunning\u201d to a great extent.But more than this, the suburbs no longer sufiioe to receive the outcasts of tho city Lodgings at B.uignollcs, Belleville, Theimes, Montrouge, and Vaugirard are now as dear as they were in Paris a tew years ago Trie cités ouvrières \u2014ooa of the earliest ideas of the Kmperor, have not been constructed to any appreciable extent.They served the purpose of a peg on which to hang fine speeches and newspaper article?, but practically it is admitted| ars ago, a dres.miker endow.d with a large faculty ot Self-esteem.Like thi shoemaker who argues agaiust the possibility of your thoo pinching you, she was incredulous and disdainful when complaint was made by the !ad cs that Ihetr dresses did not fit.Her reply was that everything had bien done on her part.She hai chained the prof onions of the A'ecur he Medici as a pattern ; and if the lad es after that did not like ht r handiwork\u2014why, she could only wish them more tasie.It is reported that the few ladies who preferred that their dresses should fit themselves rather than the Venus de Medici, found it prudent to be silent\u2014so delighted were lire maj rtity to be treated in so complimentaiy a fashion by the sagacious neighbor.One cannot but wish the ladies of Europe, 185u, would encourage dressmakers who have an eye to the Venus in their own branch of ait, tor never was there a time wbhiu lira memory of the present generation when the human form was so overlaid, obscured, and deformed by dress as at present.We saw', the other dry, a sketch of the first Eve and the second, which reminded us of (he New-England dressmaker.The first and nobler Eve was represented in her native grace and truth, tempted by Knowledge The last and degenerate Eve, masked beyond r*.cognition by the present mode of dress, was presented as tempted by Fashion.It is on this temptation and its inévitable and melancholy consequences that we would fix attention for a moment, if we coolJ.We should he glad to do it, for the chance of interesting and precluding some of the misery where the giy ladies of England and France are preparing for a multitude of sufferers by their folly ot to day.Dress so a! surd as th> t of London and Pairs at this hour is cure to disgust society, and go out very soon ; and if the folly left no calamitous results behind it, we should be content to let it have its little day.But the fact is otherwise, and therefore we venture to re nousba'.e with those, whoever they may be, who bear sway in this province of the kingdom of fashion.It is a common thing now for a lady in Paris who has been accustomed to dress well to fiud that she cannot spend at this time lees than £1,000 a-year on dress alone.A thousand a year for the dresa of one person, not loyal, not noble, not thiuking cf jrwelry in making this estimate! \u201cHow is it?\u201d \u201cHow can it be?\u201d is the question everybody asks cn hearing of the fact.II you ask in the most concrete sense how it can be, the answer is\u2014Look at the quality, and yet more nt the quantity of the dress \u2014 Without protending to oe judges o! millinery maittrs, wo may say that ths silks of the present day m Bt be very costly, with their curiou patterns, an i the vatiety of rich fabric that they show; but the quantity is the marvel.It is such as leaves no trace of the natural human form\u2014any more than the balloons of black silk and tho enormous yellow slippers cf the Egyptian lady, which wo ere went lo consider to ugly.The French and English ladies put on their disguise in the shape of fieuncings and furbelows, which are actually larger and mote inconvenient than the hoops of the last century.This vast circumference reaches so high tint Ihr covering for the shoulders must be planned with a view to it ; au i tho consequence is that the mantle is made to spread to an extent singularly convenient to dtfjrraed persons.A considerable bump may pass unobserved under such a mantle.The balloon-clad Eastern lady completes the disguise by covering her face with the yashmak.There is some consistency ia this.The traveller is told that yonder moving globular mass is a wonnu, and believes it, as he believes other strange things that he is told ; but he takes the tact altogether on trust.\u2014 Instead cf covering their faces with Oriental consistency, however, the EoglLh and French ladies actually present to view, not only their faces, but their heads up to the crown.Amidst the east winds cf the late inclement spring, and the burning sunshine of June, the ladies have exposed the head ns well as the face to such an extent ns to have incut red a heavy retribution of future suffe.ing.It is said that every fa.hioo of dress has its martyrs.The abominable power and paint of a centurv ago killed more persons by the common effect cf dirt than the state of science at the time permitted the sufferers to escape.The dtstase and death which Lave been caused by tight laciug nobody now disputes.Wheu the ladies passed sudden y from tight sleeves to very large ones, not a tVw died or were disfigured by burns fiom the balloons on their arms catching fire.At present, the form of retribution is rheumatism, tic-douloreux, and every form of cold.Haifa century and a quarter of a century ago, a lady of the middle class could and did dress suffi.-ientiy well for her station on £10 a-year, and scarcely any thought of exceeding £40.The young wile of a struggling professional man found th .t she could keep up a befitting appearance for less than either sum ; and her husband found for a few years that she included the children\u2019s dress within the £.0 or £30 set down under th i' h-v d in the annual accounts At present, ail th, chief fabrics u-rod in caii.ru n dress are cheaper by 60 per cent., and we see the (fleet iu the ease of the laboring classes by the great improvement in tho dress of the women and children.Yet, iu spite of ibis advantage, we find our daughters and tco many cf our wives, complaining that ih-y cannot p ly th.ir way with an allowance double that which their mothers found sufficient.A glance at the advertisement columns of the newspapers explains much of this.We see, not only single dn sses advertised at four, five, to ten guineas (an annual sum which would insure a man\u2019s life for a sum welcome to most famili-.s at hie death), but that these dresses consist cf 19 or 20 yards cf a \u201c wide\u201d fabric.Thus it is that at once a woman's dress expands to a balloon ccm-paes aud her husband's or father\u2019s purse collapses in proportion.We wish that oar ladies would convince themselves by a little st dy and reflection, of the bad taste of thus copying continental frivolities, which, iu a manner enforced in their native plac ¦, are an intrusion and a mere deformity tn our happier state of society.ALEXANDRE DUMAS AND HIS WRITINGS.Avery interesting article recently appeared in \u201cChamb.ro\u2019 Journal,\u201d tmilled \u201cThe Literary Leviathan,\u201d describing the secret of M Alexandra Dumas' extraordinary literary fecundity.The writer asserts that, iu tho first place, few orn ne of the works healing Dumas\u2019 name are original, and cites instancesof wholesale plagiarism wi trout any acknowledgment ; and in the second place he asserts the most popular of those which were attributed to Dumas wete written by assistants whom ha employed.Tne writer says in part of his article :\u2014 \u201cA number of assistants were employed ; and it is an indisput tbie fact, that by iheso assistams were written ilia very best of tb; romances which were given to the world as the works of Alexandre Dumas.Among many others we may allude only to \u201cGeorges,\u201d writen by M Mailefilie ; \u201cFerandq\u201d by M.Auger; \u2018Un Fille do Regent,\u201d by M Conua\u2019haie; and \u201cdylvandire,\u201d by M.Mau-quet.These works, however, were but little known out of France ; it was \u201cLes Trois Mousquetaires\u201d and \u201cMonte Christo\" that gave Dumas a world-wide reputation, though he actually did not write a lino of either of them \u201cThe Three Musketeers\u201d\u2014we use its English title for it is well known by translation, both in England and America\u2014was written by M Maquet.We place the word written in italics, for the work ir one of the very grossest of plagiarisms.Previous to the historical romance coming into vogue, what may be termed romantic biographies were writleu in which the lives of real historical characters were treated in a romantic manner.One Galien de Courtiliz, a writer of romantic biographies iu the early part of th; last century, hit upon the very excellent subject of the life of M.d\u2019A-rtagnan, from his departure when a poor lad from Bearn, his native place, to his Irgh elevaiion at the French court as captain of the royal musketeers, and prime favorite of Cardinal Mazarin, and to his glorious death in the trenches at the siege of Maastricht.Accordingly, in 1701, Courtiliz published his Memoirs de M d\u2019Aricg-»aa\u2014a romance, be it remembered, founded on areal life\u2014and introduced into the work the fictitious characters, Athos, Pcrthos, and Aramis, their intrigues, duels, amors, drinkip.g-bouts, and gambling matches, since so well known to the readers of \u201cThe Three Musketeers.\" In fact, Jbaquet did not, task his invention for a single incident; he did not even altar the names of the leading characters; he merely modernized the style cf part of the original \u201cMemoirs.\" But as the work cf Couniltz is not very rare\u2014we have met with it on London book staTs\u2014Maquet to put his readers on a false scent, alludes in\u2019his preface to the \u201cMemoirs,\u201d but in a light careless manner, as if merely incidental to ia more elaborate reference he makes to a certain manuscript life of a Count de la Fere, which bedis-covered in the Royal Library at Paris.This manuscript has been sought for, but in vain It never had an existence, save in the two cunning mind's-eye of M.Maquet.Probably M.Dumas himseif was imposed u.on with ie=pect to the originality of \u201c The Three Musketeers,\u201d for he never saw the work until it was printed.It appears that when M.Maquet was making it, he one evening supped with some brother litterateurs and the conversation turning upon the book-manufaetory of M.Dumas, a friend asked Maquet why he did not write iu his own name.\u201cThe reply was : 'Monsieur Dumas pays me more for my writings than the publishers would \u201c 1 But,\u2019 sai i another, 'Monsieur Dumas always re-writ', s, or at least corrects the works written by others which he issues as his own.' Not at all,\u2019 said Maq .et; \u2018and as a proof that he does not, I will introduce into the manuscript of the work I am at present engaged upon the most awkward paragraph in the French language.I will repeat the word que sixteen times in five lines, and I will bet you a dozen of champagne that the whole sixteen will be found in the printed work.' \u201cThe bet was taken, and M.Mequet won it.Thfl civtAOTi rnruxli*! .r.n - \u2014 .SIMPLEMENT TO THE MONTREAL HERALD AiSD DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE: MONDAY, SEPT.15, 1856.DoaVNING-STKEET, Allg.1G.The Queen lias been pleased to appoint Robert Duncan Wi\u2019mot, Esq., to be Provincial Secretary ; John Hamilton Gray, Esq., to be Attorney-General ; and John Campbell Allen, Esp , to be Solicitor-General, for the Province of New Brunswick.Her Majesty has also been pleased to appoint the Venerable Hugh Willoughby Jermyn, Archdeacon ofthe Island of St.Christopher, to be a Member of the Council of that Island ; Algernon Montagu, Esq , to be a Member of tbe Council of the Colony of Sierra Leone; Thomas Warwick Brooke, Esq., to be a Member of the Executive Councilor the Falkland Islands; and Captain Henry Charles Bird aud Robert'Dawson, Esqrs., to be Members of the Legislative Council of the Island of Ceylon.August 20.The Queen has been pleased to appoint Isaac Farrington, Esq., to he a non-eiec'.ive Member of tho Legislative Council of tho Virgin Islands ; Burnthorn Mnsgrave, Esq.-, to be a Member ofthe Council of the Island of Antigua ; Earnest Baudot and James Edward Arbnthnot, Esqrs., lo be Members of the Council of Government of tbe Island of Mauritius; and Charles Montocchio, Esq., to be a Member of the Council of Government of the said island during the temporary absence of Dr.Harrel, Member of that Board.Whitehall, Aug.20.The Qneen has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, granting a dignity of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, unto the RightHon.Edward Strutt, and to the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, style, and title of Baron Belper, of Belper, in the county of Derby.From a letter of Louis Blanc to the London Standard, we make the following extracts respecting the condition of the French convicts in Guiana :\u2014 \u201c Those deported to the French Guiana moke an appeal to the feeliugs of justice and humanity of all honest men, to whatever party they may belong.\u201c At the very' moment when it is so much spoken in France of clemency and generosity, while so many families are lulling themselves with tbe hope of clasping to their hearts the dear ones whoso absence they have so long lamented, the political victims are treated in tbe French Guiana in a manner worthy of the darkest ages of barbarity.\u201c It is certainly a painful task to unveil such an amount of iniquity, hut how is it tossible to pass over in silence the unjust and cruel behaviour of French officers towards their fellow-countrymen?Let it be known, therefore, that we are unspeakably tortured, on the flimsiest pretences, while people, deceived by the solemn declarations of the French government, think perhaps that every prison is open, and that we are at liberty.Let it be known, for instance, that out of five men lately arrested for some talk it had been the fancy of an overseer to invent, two were tied to a stake and dealt with as the most vile criminals! As they were reluctant to submit to an ignominious punishment, soldiers were called for, who, rushing upon the victims, bruised them with blows, tore off their beards, end, reckless of shrieks with avbich wild beasts would have been moved, bound them with cords so fast as to have made the blood gush.\u201c To relate all we suffer is more than we can possibly do.Our cheeks kindle with shame, and our hearts are bleeding.Suffice to say, that while the government has its clemency cried up everywhere, there are Frenchmen iu Guiana who do grasp for life.Nor are they allowed the sojourn of the Island of Despair, horrible as it is; barbarous administrators drag them violently on the Continent, to compel them to a labour of tight hours a day in the marshy forests, from which pestilential vapours are continually rising.\u201c We refused to submit to this outrage upon laws, to this murderous attempt ; ave claimed promised liberty, the answer is death\u2014a magnanimous answer after the birth of a Prince! Is there, indeed for us, any other prospect but imminent death?With no proper food, no garments, no shoes, no wine since February last, is there any chance that we should be long able to bear both the influence of an exhausting toil and a deadly climate?Again there is the law which assimilates political proscripts to galley-slaves?From beneath tho brutal force that weighs upon us, heaped up together, almost breathless, bnt strengthened by the courage we draw from the sacredness of our case, and our hope in the triumph of justice, we protest against the violence which is offered to us.May public opinions be moved at our misfortunes, and energetically ri e against deeds so well calculated to bring to shame a nation reputed the most enlightened and civilised in the world! \u201cThese are the lines, sir, whose insertion in your columns I earnestly request\u2014not as a Republican, not even as a Frenchman\u2014but as a man; for this is not a question of political feeling\u2014it is one of simple justice and humanity.Let it be carefully remembered that the tortured victims aa-e men who have never been tried by any court, nor prosecuted by any form cflaw! It lies in your power, sir, as I said on a simi'ar occasion that the groan they utter from the place where they are, so to speak, buried alive, should be beard in the world of the living.The French press is gagged.\u201c Such being the case in F auce, the liberty of tho English press remains the only possible resort for the oppressed to have the justice of their complaints at least examined.I apply, therefore, to the English press, and that all the more confidently since I read in the Times but a few days ago\u2014\u201c The press is emphatically the representative cf the people.If wisely directed, it girardd the interests of all classes and conditions cf society, and has a right in turn, to the sympathies and assistance of all.\u201d \u201cI remain, Sir, your obedient servant, \u201cLOUIS BLANC.\u201d TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SEVISIOET ©FKSSAIrAasaKS-.('f ENTLEMEN,\u2014You have doubtless, learned JT ere this, through the medium of the Press, that a deputatiorv-composed of a large number of highly respectable persons from the different Parishes of your Electoral Division,\u2014had recently waited upon me here and done me the honour of requesting me to come forward as a candidate for the representation of the Division-of DeSalaberry.In spite of the repugnance I have always felt, and still feel, to enter into public life, I thought it my duty to sacrifice my personal feelings in deference to those of the delegates from DeSalaberry, and to consent to come forward as a candidate for your suffrages.The period is critical.The recent change in our Constitution, by which the Elective principle is introduced into the choice of members for the Upper House, and tire differences which threaten to arise between the two sections ofthe Province, give cause to apprehend the most serious consequences.I therefore believe it to be, under tire circumstances, the duty of every man, when called upon to devote the whole talents or energy he may possess to the public service.I therefore come, gentlemen, at this time to offer myself as a candidate for your Electoral Division, and to solicit your votes.It is not my intention to enter at this moment into a detailed explanation of my view's and principles.You are probably aware that while I am in favor of the present Constitution of tire country, I am at tire same time desirous of according to every one the fullest amount of religious liberty, and the greatest amount of political liberty consonant 'with good government.Having said this, it is hardly necessary that I should add that I am totally opposed to the system of mixed schools.Thus, as I had the honor to mention to the gentlemen who requested me to come forward, I decline to bind myself to support any person or party.The only engagement I solenmly undertake, is to use my utmost endeavours to advance the interests of our Province.My Commercial pursuits, and the experience I have acquired in Mercantile matters, has put me in a position to judge of the defects of our Tariff.It must be self-evident to all, that the total absence of Protection to Native Industry must necessarily prevent the development of Commerce, and is almost equivalent to a prohibition of all Manufactures in Canada.If elected, I shall use all my efforts, with the assistance of my colleagu.es, to obtain an improvement of our law's on this matter, for it is not difficult to conceive that a moderate system of Protection would allow of our establishing numerous Manufactures here, and would probably put an end to the emigration which all true friends of Canada have recently had so much reason to deplore.I have already said, Gentlemen, that I should not attempt to enter upon the details of the different measures upon which I may be called upon to vote in the Legislative Council, if you do me the honor to elect mè ; hut there is one other subject to which in conclusion I must advert.With many others, I have seen -with no small uneasiness the manner in which the affairs of the Grand Trunk Railway hare been conducted.Its repeated enormous additional demands on the public purse must give serious cause of alarm to all those who look avitli an attentive eye towards the future destiny of Canada.It is not my intention at this moment to cast blame on any one ; but I here pledge myself, if elected, I shall use my best endeavours thoroughly to investigate all the facts relative 10 this Company, and as fiar as in me lies to see that the Province is protected it) this matter from the effects of rash speculation.In a word, Gentlemen, my sincere desire and my fixed intention are, to labor earnestly for the Social, Commercial, and Political prosperty of this Province, and I shall lose no opportunity to support any measure which I believe useful to the Country, and to oppose those which\u2014are contrary to the public interest.Gentleman, I trust that these feav words ma}-suffice to give you a just appreciation of my views generally, and determine your conduct tow'ards mo in the coming election.I have the honour to be.Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, L.RENAUD.Montreal, 8th September, 1856.\t217 TO THE ELECTORS or THE B-oimsisoxe® sxvïsïoær.G N ENTLEMEN,\u2014Having been requested, by I\" several parties in this Division, to offer myself as a candidate for the honor of representing you in the Legislative Council, I think it right noav to adopt this mode of addressing you, and to make public tho answer which I I riably declared that, if the Electors choose mo for their representative in the Council, I would j accept the trust and discharge the duties it iru-I poses to tire best of my abilities ; that I must, J howex'er, be their free choice\u2014that I would not ; solicit a vote, nor expend money to obtain one ; and that 1 preferred remaining in private life.To this answer I still adhere.1 cannot here refrain from expressing a re-| gret that my political views should have been grossly and unjustifiably misrepresented.In saying this, I make no allusion lo the gentleman, whom 1 have reason to believe to be in a position similar to my own in regard to the approaching election for your Division.I have had the pleasure I of his acquaintance for many years, and 1 know I him to be an upright and honorable man, inca-; jrable of such conduct.I hope that he and I j will show on this occasion that it is possible to i entertain different opinions on public affairs, and, at the same time, not only respect each other, but continue on close terms of friendship.In order that you may judge for yourselves to what extent I am worthy of your confidence on public grounds, I take this opportunity of stating expressly what my political views are.Under tire 'circumstances above adverted to, this declaration is due to myself and to those among you who are favorable to my Election.I am not, nor have 1 ever been, a party man, and it is now too late for me to become one.If elected, therefore, you avili understand that I shall enter the Council, not only independent in my course, bnt entirely free from party ties and obligations, and ready to vote for any liberal and safe measure, come from whom and what quarter it mày.I claim to be a Liberal, in achat I consider the best sense of the avord, indisposed to hurry on rashly changes and innovations, but quite prepared after careful consideration, to apply the needful remedy when alteration and amendment are proved to be required.If elected I will earnestly endeavor, by favoring sound and judicious measures, having these objects in view : To promote the cause of general Education ; to improve Agriculture ; to increase Trade and encourage Commerce.I shall not by any vote of mine aid in bringing about a violation of the compact entered into at the time of the Union of Upper and Lower Canada, nor avili I concur in any net which would place Lower Canada, the earliest settled section, aa'ith its peculiar laws and institutions, at the mercy of the Upper Province, or in a position of inferiority to it.Any scheme avhich may be brought 'forward for the annexation of this noble country to the United States of America, avili meet with my most determined opposition.My most strenuous exertions shall be devoted to raise and improve tire standard of political probity and honor among our public men in place and power, by opposing to the utmost every species of jobbing and corruption, by making public every avell authenticated case of that description which may come to my knowledge, by exposing the guilty parties,' and, if possible, bring them to deserved punishment.I do not fear the disapprobation or the hostility of Government : I ask from it no favor, nor do I seek for place or emolument.I have already refused them when offered to me.But while I claim to be perfectly independent, and free to vote as my judgment dictates, I avili not join in a factious opposition to the Administration, being convinced ns I am that in the present House of Assembly no better could be found, at least none avhich could command a working majority.My solicitude in regard to the future progress and public welfare of this Province should be, and undoubtedly is, identical xvith yours.My home, my exertions, and my material interests are here and among you ; and these interests, I may add, are irrevocably placed in a country where I have passed so many years of my life, and avitli which my own and my family\u2019s hopes are permanently united and identified.I have thus avitli perfect freedom and frankness, briefly stated to you upon avliat conditions and avitli avhat political a-ieavs I aha prepared to enter the Legislative Council, if elected to form one of that body, as your representative.And I noav leave it to you to determine by your votes whether I shall in future take a part in the public affairs of this great and rapidly advancing country, or continue to enjoy the tranquility and seclusion of private life.I have the honor to remain, Gentlemen, Y'our obedient servant, T.EDMUND CAMPBELL Sept., 1856.\t211 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE an gA£sA;B13S,3R,ir BXVISIOSff.G 1 ENTLEMEN,\u2014The time to decide on your il political fate for the next eight years avas about to arrive, avithout the friends of progress having made the necessary arrangements to have their cause respected in the Legislative Council.In proportion as the epoch for the elections advanced, each one felt more strongly the importance of personifying the democratic opinions in a candidate who avould be able to concentrate the sympathies of the different shades of origin and creed, avhich gives to your Electoral Diarision an almost singular constitution.A convention organized in such a manner as to cause each locality to be represented in the choice of a candidate,, decided unanimously on my nomination, and deputed to me a considerable number of citizens,.honorable in all their relations.It avould be a feigned humility on my part if I did not testify hoav highly I appreciate the honour, avhich has been done me by my felloav citizens of all origins in DeSalaberry, by thus inviting me to receia'e their suffrages.Nothing could have led me to expect it as spontaneous on their part, as unexpected on mine, aud it was not till after long and painful hesitation that I consented to yield to the xa'ishes of the deputation.The personal circumstances in avhich this flattering requisition found me avould have induced me positively to decline if I had not comprehended the solemnity and importance of the election you are on the point of making.The Electors of all parts of the country are called on to destroy by their arotes at the poll a vast system of corruption and demoralization, public and private, avhich seizes fatally on all our social organization.A Ye haa\u2019e reached a point at avhich public virtue avould shortly be hunted out as if it avere a vice, at avhich venality and political servility began to display themselves as signs of intelligence and of good diplomacy ; at avhich the Parliamentary career was placed among the most profitable trades ; at avhich the Legislative Hall assumed the aspect of the most odious of all markets,, the market for consciences ; at avhich the most ruinous notions of political and social economy alone appear to inspire the administrators of the public concerns ; at avhich the people see themselves crushed under an enormous indirect taxation rendered necessary by the waste aud robbery of the public funds ; at avhich education seemed to become the monopoly of certain privileged classes, and is almost denied to the mass of the population ; at avhich the colonization, necessary to retain the Canadian emigration, is mede a pretext to cast tire public treasure into the hands of the greedy creatures of poaver ; at avhich foreign speculators are enabled to seize the key of our chest to draov upon it at their leisure ; at which the militia, far from being an organization for national protection, only offers one more means for the extension of patronage, of corruption, and of avaste ; at which the public liberties and the electoral franchise are menaced avitli suffocation, by an army of spies and informers under the name of a Provincial Police ; at which the most useful reforms seem to receive no other solution than to offer to the creatures of power additional and richly paid places, avithout ostensible or real labour ; at avhich, in one avord, the croavds of officials, avho share among themselves all the departments of the public service, regard the Provincial chest as a booty conquered from the enemy, on avhich everybody throavs himself with feverish avidity.It is enough to recall some facts to cause to be felt the truth of avhat I have just said.At the time of the union the indirect taxation avas but 2j per cent\u2014that is to say, that the consumer avho purchased the value of one hundred sous of goods paid but two sous and a half to the Government.The bad administration of our affairs since that period, joined to the necessity of corrupting aud purchasing the consciences of the representatives, avbiclr necessity has been created by successive administrations, have gradually raised this tax to 20 per cent, in such a manner that on the value of one hundred sous of merchandize purchased by the consumer, it is necessary at present to pay taventy sous of tax to the Government.If this enormous augmentation had had for its object the protection of the national industry, so as to cause to rise up in the midst of us manufactures proper to employ the powers and energies of the children of the soil, there avould be an excuse, if not a justification for this state of things ; but far from that, indigenous industry has remained stagnant.The eye of poaver seems never to have perceived the immense resources of the country, and nothing has been done to direct the population toavards manufacturing industry.The double result of the ruinous taxation and of the carelessness of the Government in tire protection of national industry is produced in the alarming emigration of our fellow countrymen, avho, being unable to find here any labour avhich may place them in a position to supply the avants of their families, and the exactions of the Custom House, go abroad to seek for bread, space and liberty.Without education our Canadian fellow countrymen are destined to become the Pariahs of America, and to see each day their commercial and territorial riches pass into other hands.During ten years that the friends of the country have implored tire Government to economise the public funds, in order to give a great part to education, nothing has yet been done to raise the career of the school master to the heighth of a noble mission, as it is looked on in the United States.Far from that, a sum of £22,000 a year has been set apart to aid in the education of 11,000 such children, who frequent the convents and colleges, and only about one third of that sum has been given to provide instruction for 116,000 poor children frequenting the primary schools.During the two years since the Seigniorial Tenure has been abolished no news has reached In the mean time, the expenses are multiplied ten-luld, and avhen the ceasitaiues shall be intormed ot the amount they avili liaae to pay, there will be universal stupefaction, arising horn the high figure of tire debt to be liquidated, and from the enormous amount of Proaincml aid, which the creatures of the Government have been able to devour.What haa e ave not to expect from those avho have consented to the abolition of the Tenure only to preserve their salaries as ministers?lire greater part of the demands for money at wen are made on the Goa-ermnent, receive the a ns aver or the bankrupt debtor.\u201cNo effects.\u201d lire most sacred claims have been pending fox-ten or tavelae years avithout liquidation.The construction ot a dam at the head of the Beau-harnois Canal, has despoiled a great number of proprietors ot a large part\u2014in some cases almost of the avholc\u2014of their lands, which have been inundated by the permanent reflux of the waters.Ihe victims of the Government have petitioned for years to he indemnified for their losses.\\S hat has tire Government done?It lias created commissions.It chose tavo or three ot its creatures at Quebec, and beloav Quebec, arid sent them to make investigation forty-five miles above Montreal.Tire commissioners were paid their traa-elling expenses, large emoluments, Ac., and avhen their report avas made, other commissioners were chosen in Quebec to go and see avhat the first had done ; and so on forever.A\\ by then arc there no funds cither to gia\u2019c subventions to tire primary schools, or to regulate the just claims avhich exist against tire Government ?The reason is simple.The ministers haa'e augmented their ova salariei from £800 to £1250, and each of them has some enterprrise or job in the public departments.\u2014 Fifteen or taventy members of Parliament in each section of the Province receia-e £800 or £1000 a-year for voting avith the ministry.The ministerial press lends its support for useless advertisements and printing jobs.Mr.Baby, in order to pay the cost of the election of ministers, has jobs which may carry off at least £11,-000 per annum from tbe public coffers.A useless militia has cost us §200,000 in tavo years, We give £500 to a Commissioner of the Paris Exhibition to remunerate his incapacity and his ministerial votes.We pay officers of tire Grand Trunk salaries of from £3000 to £1500 pier annum to laugh at us.And, after all, people are astounded to find that there is no money to pay the victims of the Beauharnois Canal and to reavard the schoolmasters and mistresses.Till the people shall have totally routed the intriguers avho pillage them, they must not expect political, financial, nor social amelioration.But to destroy the deplorable system of corruption and robbery, which has prevailed so long, the people ought not to send either to the House of Representatives, nor to the Legislative Council, men who have sustained the authors of all the eadls from avhich ave suffer and which I have sketched, for it is by confessing the errors of their past life that men can offer guarantees for their future conduct.I was very young, gentlemen, when guarded by the èxperience of honest men sincerely devoted to their country, I caught a glimpse of the gulph toaa'ards avhich our system of government conducted ns.From that time, I have not ceased to combat those avho boasted of it, because they found in it fortune and honour as rapidly as dishonestly acquired.I present myself to you under the flag avhich has sheltered the democratic party since 1841, and resolute to do my part in those efforts which may lead to modifications in our system of government.I avait with calmness for the regular and constitutional development of these modifications.When ave have been able constitutionally to render the Legislative Council elective, abolish the Seignorial Tenure, and secularize the Clergy Reserves, it avould be a culpable impatience, of which my political party has never manifested any symptoms, to seek for remedies elsewhere than in the means provided by the constitution.So long as aa'e banish from our struggles political, religious and national dissensions, aa'e shall be able to reckon avith certainty that our progress avili meet with no serious obstacle.\u2014 Taking this common ground ; accepting all our felloav citizens of avhatever origin or political creed they may be, as children of the same country, and destined to the same good or ill fortune, ave shall impress on our institutions that character of grandeur and solidity avhich creates nations.That is the object to avhich all my aspirations tend, and it is in the hope of contributing to that result that I have acquiesced in your honorable requisition.I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, JOSEPH DOUTRE.Montreal, Sept.11, 1856.\t218 22&ucatton.GEORGIA EO ITEïlï.(Authorized by the State of Georgia.)
