TUE BUB:YA'I OF AGRICUL-
TURE.
Considerable poise has been made in
the political world latterly about the erec-
tion of • new office by tie Ministry under
tie desig.atioa of " The Bureau of Agri-
culture." It is said that the object of
forming the "Bureau," (what a nice name)
r to usable Mr. Malcolm Cameron to
take his seat is the Cabinet. lie has
conscieetioes scruples aboat acceptieg the
I'reside.cy of the Camel, though by so
doing he could enjoy Motions cues digits -
tate is the moat Modems meaner ; but
wbea to the duties of a Preeideocy are
added thew of a Berme of Agriculture, be
will hare so objection, so we are led to
►.leve, to take hie seat at the bead of the
Ceased. Some people may made at the
idea of arrsagiag matters teas, bet in all
sincerity we caa see an canoe for levity or
objection. Mr. Cameros might Lave
takes his seat o the Cabinet as simple
Preaideat of the Commit, bat as he coo -
sneered that the duties of that once were
sot of so laborious a mature as to entitle
him ix faro oexaciextia to X1000 a year,
why there was potting for it but to make
more work for him by making a new Bu-
reau. Of course the duties of the Bureau
are clearly defined, and a plan of action by
which the interests of agriculture will be
speedily promoted, is already prepared and
only awaits the formal acceptance of the
office by Mr. Cameron for its derelope-
ment. That the agricultural interest is of
paramount importance in Canada, no use
coo deny ; consequently, whatever tends to
promote that interest mast be of the utmost
comequesoe to the inhabitants of all ranks
and conditions.
But we would venture to throw out a'
t�ges�tioo by which the Bureau of Agri.
culture miner be made an iastrurnest of
vast and permanent utility. It is well
kaown that the most serious drawback to
the farsner's prosperity is the cost of la_
boor. Indeed, it is sometimes impossible
for farmers to fed help enough to save their
crops of grain and hay at any price ; and
thus it not unfrequently happens that they
suffer extensive losses, which would have
been avoided bad there been a large sup-
ply of laborers in the country To take
sutb steps as would remove this drawback
to the farmers's prosperity, by the intro-
duction of a su6cient,number of agricultu-
The Collins' 8tsomere which receive a rat labourert into the country, would in
very large sum trona our Government for our own opinion be work which the Bu-
reau of Agriculture might undertake with
great prospects of conferring an immense
benefit on the people of Canada. We de-
pend for labourers io a great measure os
immigration ; it is from this so0ree that
our hitherto inadequate supply has been
received, and it is quite manifest that we
hate also to depend on it for the future.—
It is to immigration that the United States
are indebted for their rail -roads and canals.
for their united and separate prosperity._
Ireland's loss has been their great gain ;
and if any adequate attention had been
paid to the subject by our Canadian au-
thorities, a large proportion of the rim -
grants who find their way to New -York
and the Atlantic ports of the Union, would
have sought a home on the more genial soil
of Canada. The Province is miwepre-
seated in Great Britain and Ireland, by
parties interested in the shipping trade of
the United States. These parties endea-
vor by all possible means to direct the
current of immigration towards the Atlan-
tic ports and away from the St. Lawrence
which is represented by them as exceed-
ingly dangerous to navigate, and as being
the theatre of many a frightful shipwreck
and much loss of life. To do away with
the false impressions thus sedulously made
on the
of the peasantry "at
the Bureau minds of Agriculture should appoint
Emigrant Agents in Dublin, Belfast, Lime-
rick,and Waterford, who would make it
their business to visit the country parishes
at stated periods, and by addressing the
people endeavor to convince those who are
about to imiggr*aate of the advantages which
they would dente from going to Canada
in preference to the States. The instant
an old countryman" settles down in Ca-
nada be is on terms of political equality
with the natives of the soil ; be can vote
for a member of parliament, bold real es-
tate and is eligible to office, on the same
condition, as those who were born in the
country. In tbe United States It is differ-
ent. nacre the emigrant is an alien until
be becomes naturalized, which cannot take
place until he has resided for four years in
the country and gone through certain forms
which to some are very far from being
agreeable. Besides, Canadians hare a
fellow -feeling for the emigrant which the
Yankee serer had and meter can bate.—
We say this without calling in question for
a moment the kindness of many American
towards destitute fugitives from narration
in their native eountnes.
How easy it would be, by the mere
statement of a few facts such as the fore-
going, to divert a rnnsederabk portion of
the stream of immigration that bas been
setting is toward. the States for the past
few years, from its usual course, and direct
it to the moutb of the St. Lawrence. In-

would do more for the future prosperity

agents be under the control of the Chief
Commissioner of emigration, that is of the

dent of the Commit, for Mr. Cameros
would, we are confident, undertake succes-
fully the duties of the three departments.
The expenses of the agents may be defray-

Mecum". must be a prodigious r6ie1, whoa
it takes three or four seats to bold him, a
stun of great reeeegoence when a whole
Government, a Morris, a Rolpb, a Tube,
a Young, a Moro, and toe lave of them,
commit such fearful outrages all to get him
into the Government. Surely 6e mon
hate more ability than erer we, his
partial constituents, gate him credit for.—
Well the papers from tete East began to
come to hand, and we found tbe Tele-
graph, Recorder, Bathurst Carrier,
Lanark t716serrer, Kiogston Whig and
Herald, Belleville Chronicle, Whitby
Reporter, Toronto Examiner, North
American and Mirror, Norfolk Messen-
ger, Brantford Herald, Loodoo Free
Press, and Kent Advertiser, all well pleas-
ed that the Government had attacbed web
important duties to the office of President of
the Council as induced Mr. Cameron to feel
be could consistently accept it—and that
without one shilling of expense to the
country. The clerks in one office or
another bad corresponded witli Agricultu-
ral Societies, and Emigrant agents, and
with persons seeking patents, but no re-
sponsible known bead existed, whose busi-
ness it was to supenotend these important
duties and to satisfy public interest and ex-
pectation. Tbese cierks arranged in
a seperate department under Mr. Cameron
whose duty it will be to tint the Agricul-
ral Societies, gather statistics, suggest im-
provements, watch Legislation and rime -
mead aids in close corresposdenee with the
Professor of Agriculture will be, we art
sure, the most popular department in
Canada. And r we supported the C,ot-
trnmeot at its formatios,..d pppwted Mr.

we made (miserly with regard to the se-

on is correct. \We are glad to ears fur-

constituents for their approval. Tie Hon.
gentleman bas already, we kora, addressed
the electors of lluron, aequaiating them
with the fact and requesting their verdict.
The election' however, coot take place

may have urged against the bee. gentleman
is regard to his cumection with the pre-
sent government, we hare always regarded
bin' personally as a thorough hired acid
well tried advocate of Resposeible Govern-
ment—especially a max of the people.—
It affords us great sstisfacteoe, therefore
to find our estimate of his character cor-
rect—the rumour of bis istestios to take
advaatage of the weal of the legal ama-
sity for his appearing again before hie cma-
stitueets is utterly untrue. With thin re-
newed proof of Mr. Cameros's integrity
as a politician; bis accesros to the govern-
ment must Long with it • great amount of
coofideue, greater perhaps, thea it W eo-
joeed since its formation. It will, at least,
induce us to•give the Govenmeet what it
u entitled to—a fair trial—for the abort
time that will elapse till they will be re-
quired to act up to what they now profess.
For all the interests involved in the
present position of Reformers, we firmly
believe that this is now the best course.—
By overthrowing the government at pre-
sent, the result would evidently be a Moe
between the Lower Canadian mapsrsty sad
tie enemies of civil and religious liberty.—
By giving it a trial the views which, is
common with all Reformers, we bold para-
mount, wen pea'bably be carried out em -
mediately ; and should they not satisfy tea
party oe this point, a sweeping majority
can be returned by the anima of an Reform-
ers, which would settle the questios of re-
ligious liberty at once, without the advent
to power of the Tories at all. An wrest
which we would deprecate under any cir-
cumstances.'

copy of a letter he had sent to Mr. Morrie,
Mr. Eolith, and also Mr. Hints, calling
tbeir attention to certain improvements
which ought to be effected, viz., that ea
certain Local groats bed bees ma* In
Lower Canada for the purpose of bsldimg

Cameron should endeavour to obtain greats
for a like purpose to be employed a ez-
te.ding Piers and erecting Lights, at those
places which might be coosidered mast
suitable between Sarnia and Saugees.—
By the erection of such many minable
lives might be saved, and the destruction
of vessels and property of that asters to
some extent might be avoided. Aaotb.r
point to which he wished to direct thein
attention, was the completion of a Rood
