wee TO THE ELECTORS
r'Iwl► HURON, PERTH in BRUC=,
Garriumax '—
You are aware that when I
appeared before you at the late
General Election I bad not ac-
cepted Office, altbongh I bad
been gasetted as President of the
Executive Council. My reasons
for refusing that Office 1 stated
to you plainly and in full. I then
explained to you, that although
ft is necessary to have a Chair-
man or President, the duties
hitherto devolving upon the Pre-
sident were not such as to war-
rant the country in paying sigh
hundred point& a year for his
services. Since that time, how-
ever, the office of President of the
Council has been H,aterially al-
tered and other important duties,
till now neglected, hav,• been
attached to it—so that it is now
In reality no longer a sinecure
and hence my principle objection
to it Is entirely removed. In-
deed, it may be presumed that
the duties allotted to the Presi-
dent of the Council, In future,
are equal in number, and almost
egnal in importance to the'duties•
perfbrmed by any other member
of the Cabinet,
8o early u the year 1841, I
urged in strong terms, upon the
attention or the then Govern-
ment, the justice and Wilily of
establishing a Department of
Agriculture, feeling then as I do
now, that if any one interest or
department was entitled to the
consideration and vigian a of
Legislature, that one should be
the Agricultural. This is Cana-
da's great interest—the founda-
tion cf all oar hopes of wealth
and prosperity ; and •aotwith-
stanaling, the comparative indif-
ference with which it has hither.
to been regarded, it is the one
which must furnish the " men
women and money," that will
ultimately raise us in the scale -
of nations.
The Government has now
established a Department of
Agriculture the ni tnagement of
whish, together with several
other duties connected with ems-,
gration, and the statistics oE the
Province are entrusted to the
Chairman of Committees or Pre-
sident of the,Council. And His
Excellency having been pleased
to offer tine this office in its alter-
ed and improved character, I felt
it my duty and esteemed it an
honor to aid in the deliberations
of an Administration in which I
had full confidence—which I had
assisted to form, and of which I
expected to have been, from the
first, a member. •
And although I still feel that
a gentleman of superior literary
attainments Would more proper-
ly discharge the duties of Chair-
man of Committees, yet as His
Excellency and his Advisers
have been pleased to consider me
competent to the several duties
now attached to the office, I have
accepted: it. And in doing so, I
affirm in contradiction of the
statements of the opposition and
discontented Press, that my ac-
ceptance of it, in its present
form, will be a considerable sav-
ing to the country. It has been
alleged by certain portions of
the Press that I am at liberty to
accept and hold this office without
again appealing to my constitu-
ent . But, Gentlemen, whatever
the law may say on the subject,
I have too much respect for pub-
lic opinion and the principles of
our Constitution, to evade both
by availing.myself of a legal
quibble. I shall, therefore, so
soon as a writ can isane, that 1s,
so soon as Parliament meets, re-
sign my seat and give you, the
Electors of Huron, an'opportuni-
ty of expressing, at the Pollee,
your opinion of my conduct in
thus concurring in the first at-
tempt of any Canadian Govern-
ment to recognize and elevate
the agricultural interest% by a
distinct Governmental Depart-
ment.

OLD CWOA$-FIA*.--A STORY OF
THEE NORTH-WESTERN DOR-
RV GSo. 1. at'xaxaltstt.
The early history of North-Western
Virginia is rife with incidents of a romantic
character. The extraordinary peroete-
rance and courage which characterized the
pioneers of that region of country, and the
almost incredible sufferings they were com-
pelled to endure, are, perhaps, without a
parallelio the history of any country but
• our own. Whilst may of those who pen-
etrated far into the wester' wilds went
thither to hew down the forest -trees, and
make the wades -nos asperse the cheerful
aspect of the abode of civilized man, a
large .ember of persons were attracted to
that country solely by the love of dange-
rous adventure, and a fondness for living in
a state of eomparstive freedom from the
form of social life. The latter class of ad-
venturer, though not so numerous as the
first, furnished most of the heroes of those
desperate partisan rencounters with the
natives, which ocespy so large a space in
annals of the West.
Daring the first eight years of that long
and bloody war with the garage tribes,
wbieb commenced in the year 1774, the
settlements oo the upper portion of he
Ohio river seem to have been peculiarly
obnoxious to the Indians. Several furious
assaults were made by large bodies of Min -
pee, Wyandots, and Shawanoes, upon
Fort whceliag, and other stockade forts in
that vicinity; and small parka of°meander%
were continually prowling about the settle-
ments, employing themselves in buruieg
'muses, destroying crops, driring off cattle
and murdering the people es fsequentty ae
occaaioo offered,
Awing the most notorious of the leaders
of these savage brigands, was a Mingo chief
calkd. by the &eters "Old Cross-Fire"—
not so mace on accent of his years, as
from the circumstance of his firing his rifle
from his left shoulder- This chieftain had,
at the head of his party, committed numer-
ous depredations upon the settlemcuts, but
always succeeded in e%capiag uabarmed.
desptte the many exertions [nude to arrest
his infuriate career. Old Cross -Fire was
as expert woodsman; and many a borderer
was willing to bear testimoav to his sur-
prising skill as a marksman. He ,had fre-
quency come in colli%ion with major M'Col-
lock, Lewis Wetzel, and other famous 'In-
dian banters; but all tbeir stratagem and
prowess were vainly exerted;—the Mine
invariably came off unscathed, and was em-
boldened to inflict bis art% of wanton cruel-
ty with increased temerity. His person
was familiar to most of the setters, lie
was of herculean fabric, his height being
several inches .Ter six fret; and every part
of his vitt frame was built in admirable
propMion. if we steep t his arras, which,
lik'r tbo'e of Rob Roy ArGregor, were so
long that
"Tbe chief could stand in upright mien,
And fairly g"p his keen."

mon title, with almost unvarying accuracy

At the time of the incident about to be
related, We Indians had, in a great measure
ceased their hostile inenrsions into Western
Virginia. Most of them bad retired
farther West, to operate agsitast the
settle.e.ts 'oo the lower section of

wbo lingered abort Wheeling long after
his away comrades had rhanged their
seat of war, was now seldom spoken of by
the settlers. The prevailing idea was that
be had forsaken his old theatre of operations
for another that prnmioed a better remnne-

They elae.ed the rich bottom -lands, bait

dement. Their implements of war were
thrown aside as articles no longer useful.
A man, it is true, was occasionally seen
with a rifle upoo las shoulder; but so other
purpose was had is view than to beset a
deer ora wild turkey.
About this time a young man from Ow
east of the Alleghenies arrived at the
Wheeling settlements. He had perforased
the entire journey across the moontaim, eh
horseback, at in isckment seasoo of the
year, and was nearly exhausted with fatigue
and eaposure to the ole seats. He was
destined to Kentucky, but Madly accepted
an imitation to posse few days with colo-
nel Zane, one of the earliest 'enters at
Wheeling, whom be bore a letterof intro-
duction.
Elliot Frazier had etarcely passed a day
in the hospitable dwelling of Colonel Zane.
before he wail seized with disease, the ef-
fects of hie recent exposure, which confined
him to lis bed. His malady aa"mned a seri-
ous character, depriving him at times of his
reason. He Laid for many days •tacoosei-
oua of his condition, and insensible to what
was passing around him. When at lesgt
his disease took a favorable turn, and his
mind regained its suspeuded powers, he dis-
covered that a beautiful being war hover-
ing ower his couch --tenderly administering
to his wants, and manifesting, by the sweet
,mile that played upon her countenance, a
pleunrable feeling at witaessiog the'im-
peo-rnent of his condition.
The Sand Samaritan who watched over
the .t ane r -youth was Rose Mason, the
fairest Bower that !doomed on the banks of
the Ohio. She was the adopted daughter
of colonel Zane, the inlnnate friend of her
;anent father, who lad lost his life in a des-
perate conflict with the Indians, during. the
early stages of the war. Rose had receiv-
ed her education at one of the hest semin-
aries the 'bed settlements' afforded in those
days; but she had imbibed ao seutiment that
destroyed the native simplaeity of her man-
ners. She was a young lady of fine intel-
lect; and her heart was filled with affection
and gentle sympathies, to the exclusion of
crery unworthy passion. Although she
was delicately Erosible to every thing unbe-
coming her ses, %be saw no impropriety in
contributing all in her power towards allevi-
ating the sufferings of a fellow mortal. She
volunteeredher services cheerfully to art
tbepart of aurae to the patient. She felt
rational pleasure in supplying tbe' invalid
wi to every little comfort which hitt situation
required. i-ader her soothing ministration
Elliot regained hu. health.
The yonthnow often spoke of continuing
hie journey to Kentucky. Day after day,
however, passed by, and still remained it
Wheeling. In sparsely populated regions
strong personal attachments are quickly
formed. The manly bearing of Elliot had
rendered him a favorite among all the set-
tler., and they strongly ur ed him to aban-
don his original intention, and remain where
he was. To this proposition he declared
lis: could not accede; but when_ the image of
Rose Masao presented itself before his
mind's eye, he was nearly tempted to re-
call his words.
Since the arrival of young Erazier, a
new feeling had found its way into Rose's
heart—a feeling which she was unable to ex-
plain. Wben he spoke to ber about los ex-
pected departure, a shade of melancholy
would overspread her countenance and ban-
ish completely the bright smile that usually
dwelt upon it. There eta: no dissimulation
in the maiden; ahs felt that his absence
would cave ber to be unhappy, and she
took no pains to caveat the sorrow with
which she contemplated the event.
"T:Uiot;" said %he, ooe day, "you must
agree to remain with as. \\-c cannot 'pare
you."
"it will never an!" exrlsimed theyonth
—" I hare been idling my time here too

" We will an fort very aatnppy when you

" &et miner. thus l will, Rose," replied
F:Pfot. " The 1mpp.est days of my fie;'

" True; but"

interrupted the s,aideo; '• yowl must be my
companion to Short eretk to -morrow.'
'And why not for lifer asked Elliot.
No reply was made to this que•,lion.
Rose had not e.tictpated such au iutrarro-
gatury; nor did its full meaning, at first,
Sash upoo 1 er mind. But when its true
seater became apparent to Ler, a thrill
went to her heart, and a deep flush suffused
let check. For the Gist time, she now
found that .be was in lore. She spoke in
an altered toss, w.ih wit n'r.ing her head,
which she had, ontylttinb y, cast down.
" You win go with mer Abe said.
" Most surely, dear Rose,' replied 1':ttiot

"1 eon refute yon notbinn; he added; " and

" I will depend opo, you,' said the mai-
den as she left Int.; for Row's mind was
fined with such strange ideas that she was
glad to sock solitude.
Soria after the sun hell arisen on the fol-
lowing day, Elliot Frasier was before the
door busied in cleaning his rifle. Lewis
Wetzel just then approached bim from the
direction of the high hill in rear of the
fort.
" What's to be done to -day, Elliott' in-
quired the hunter, as be came up to the
youth, and lowered his gun to his feet.
" I am going to short errck with lbliss
Masao,' said Elliot. "1 than take my ;Wm
along, and if i can only get a glance at a
buck's tail, I'll bring it home as a trophy 0
my skill in rifle shooting."
" 1f you sec a deer, Ellit; said the /coot
laughing, "you'll. be sure to git the buck
fever.'
" Nerer fear!' replied the youth.
0 Eich things always happen to green
bands,' said Wetzel; "but you'll git over
the fever by -and by. That rifle of yoorn
aint exactly to my liking,' he eontinned; and
Imre he took the richly mounted rifle of the
young man and deliberately examined it in
all its parte. ' It's too Tight, intirely; and
as for these silver filth's, they aunt of any
manner of use.'
They will not prevent it from shooting
well,' said Elliot.
'No! nor neither they woof,' rejoined
Wetzel ; ' but I'll be skinned if Cd have
'em on a gun of' mine. Now, here's my

raised his weather-beaten rifle from the
ground : ' uglier old rip you never laid your

said the youth.
