1 will tell you why i believe these great
doctrines of civil and religious libe►ty to be
at the present time in danger. I find the
public mind or England stirred from one
e nd of the kingdom to the other. i hear
fierce denunciations hurled agaiest one .ergs
Mass of our Christian brethreo, and 1 see
politicians nearly of all clues" bending be
neath the storm, and joining in the cry
against Papists and the Pope, and I most
sincerely assert that I am utterely at a Toss
to understand bow a really tolerant people
eould be thus earned away by an intolerant
feeling. Does any danger really exist 1—
Seeing wbet the public feeling is—knowing
se I have for many years koowo, the strong
anti-Catholic prejudice of my eountymen
—I am not surprised at this outbreak .—
Sumple, downright intolerance, is et the
bottom of it. No real danger exists. It
Is not fear, but blind intolerant hate, that
bee aroused the land ; the same sort of
feeling as that which in, in 1780, roused the
.sob of London 'faint Sir George Saville,
sed made that madman—Lord George dor•
don—a hero -the idol and leader of the
people it now exercising a fatal influence
upon the good sena of the Ehglieb people.
This feeling you have most unfortunately
* ountesancod ; you have given dignity and
importance to an antipathy which you
ought carefully to have allayed ; and, by
your ill-timed support, have done your ut-
moat to keep alms fur years • detestable

yea to be thoroughly ashamed. Where.

ARRIVALOF THE "FRANKLIN."
By telegregh from New York list night,
we lard tbat the steamship Franklin arriv-
ed yesterday afteresooe, having' Use de -
tatted in quarantine. by a case of smallpox
on board.
The '•Frs.k'in" sailed from Havre on the
1st January. The 'Atlantic" ailed on her
regular day. Notelet has been heard of
her. The "Asia" arrived out In ten days.
The Aria's last trip was the shortest o0
record.
We have London dates to the god lost.,
ad Liverpool to the 51.1.
Cotton was firm and uachsnged. Bread
stuffs steady sod without material change.
The political news unimportant.
Mr. Thompson, bearer of despatches,
brings a treaty between the United States
and Switzerland.
TM mail from Indus bed arrived. Bu•i•
nese brisk at Calcutta. At Bombay money
was high.
A Treaty between Switzerland and the
United States has been effected.
The total amount of California gold receiv-
ed at Southampton during the past year was
nearly five.nd a- half millions of dollar..
Baring Bros. have admitted as a partner
Mr. Russell Sturges, formerly of Canton.
FRANCE.
The accounts from Paris are from the
1.t January. Some feeling bad been excit-
ed in political circles by a disagreement be-
tween the Assembly and the Government.
The French Nods had declined In cense

County busts's'. We how, as yet, little
information respecting the men who are to
constitute our local Legislature foe the
present year. But, believing u we Jo, that
the County Council will exert • wry con-
siderable inluaee, either for good or evil,
on the affairs of the Counties, we intend to
bestow much attention upon its proceed-
ings. And, as the people have not oily •
deep interest in these , but have
al•oa salutary control over the Councillors,
we will faithfully record and publish the
votes on every important question that may
be discussed and submitted to a vote. By
doing thio, we will put the inhabitants of
each Townabip in poescsioo of the true
Councillor character of the respective
Reeves, and thus furnish them with facts
for their guidance at the next year's Muni-
cipal Elections. We fell truly delirious of
impressing the public mind with • thorough
(consciousness of the actual importance of
rho Municipal Council. We would wish to
make the people understand that the action
of the Council will, u we have frequently
stated, make a more immediate appeal to
their pockets, and exercise a more direct
influence on the prosperity sod improve-
ment of the Province, than the ordinary .c -
tion of the Colonial Legislature. The Coun-
cil may indeed be said to bold the purse -
strings of the locality over which it presides.
Ws are decidedly in favor of economy, and
while we advocate the necessity and the
wisdom of fair, reasonable taxation, we io-
sist upon a judicious end frugal expenditure
of the taxes. It to obvious, that taxation is
jnutlable and useful only in so far as it
tends to improve thecomfolis and conveni-
ence' of those who are taxed ; and if the
whole or even the ball of the taxes are spent
io paying the salaries of efieers connected
with tho Imposing and levying of the taxes,
then, taxation is a grievance which sbould
neither be defended nor submitted to. For
instance, we are tolerated that the Council-
lors of the United Townships of Ashfield,
Wswanosh, he., voted themselves six skif-
BELGIUM.
Belgium has ceased to coin gold, and pre-
parations have been made for some time
past for amassing a large supply of silver
and coining it to meet the change.
The Havre packet from New York, which
is to nail today, will take from 120,000 10
150,000 American half and quarter dollars.
HESSE CASSEL.
The News from the continent is not of
much importance. The Electer of Hesse
retnrned to his capital no tbe 17th Dec., he
wee received with indifference on the part
of
tbe people. The Dresden conferences
were in progress, but the chert business done
bad been merely of a preliminary nature.
AUSTRIA.
We learn that an army of 15,000 men
was .bout to much into tim Duchies, ac-
companied by a Pommel Force of some
strength.
POLAND.
The native custom House officials in
Russian Poland were to be demised and
to be replaced by Russians, other measures
for completely Renam eztog the Polish Pro-
vinces were being pressed forward with the
utmost vigour.

and sat so many days throughout the past
year, that the account for Cooacillor's wa-
ges amounted to thirty pounds ! This is an
outrage upon the intention of the Municipal
Act, and •Itogether iotolerebie. it is prob-
able that not one of the A.beeld Council
lore could have earned half a dollar a day
at their usual avoeattoastatl, hues, settee
we consider that these men merely met a
few hours to each day within their own
Township iail-were needing to be at no ex-
pense for lied aad board, beyond Wu ordin•
ary every -day expense—w. can only look
upon this six and three pence a -day as a
wanton fleecing of the to payers for no
useful purpose.
Ws have no wish to decide whether
Township Councillors should or should not
take pay ler their services ; but we certain-
ly thick the bootee's of a Township cannot.
in ordinary circumstances, require more then
three or four days sitting to Council each
year : and, in every Instance, the pay should
be no moderato as cot to be an inducement
to prolong or multiply the slttungs, The
people will shortly learn that they have a
direct and a very sensible interest in this
kind of economy, and will bring the question
of wages prorotoeotly forward at their Mu-
nicipal Election..
ie relereoce to the County Council, we
have again to assert our opt Dion, that 6ve
•billings, or at most, six shillings and three
pence per day, for each day spent in active
business In Conseil, and five shilling for ev-
ery twenty-five miles travelled to and from
the place of meeting, is a rate of wages ful-
ly in conformity with the circumstances of
the country, and fully equivalent to theser-
vices rendered. it is true, that then will
be some indivtdesls in the County Commit
whou time sod talents would be more prof-
itably employed at home. But :t must be
admitted that these individuals are few, and
that, as a matter of hour sod beeeoty, they
are required to make a little inclines for the
public good, rather than establish a rate et
wager that would be a pecuniary iodoee-
teeet to perhaps three-foorth• of theCoes.
cit, to prolong the salisge. Ws cannot un-
derstand why the County Council should
either meet often, or sit Ineg, when it don
Gem their own shoulders. it is necessary
that each Committee should contain et
least Doe member who has some experience
in the winter, and, to Secure this, it would
be necessary that be should be oomiaated
before the baltotting took place. For in.nc
statue, supposing a FioanceCommittee end
a School Committee were required, David
Hood Ritchie and John Holmes, Esquires,
might be severally nominated a Chairmen
of these respective committee", and the
other members might be drawn by ballot,
ae in the new Jury Law. In refer to
economy, we would also hint, that in elect-
ing their County Official., it is the duty of
*Very Councillor to cxamine for himself,
tad decide in his own mind whether sub
as officer is really needed—whether the
services are an egiuoaleol for the salary, or
whether they could not be procured at a
cheaper rale, by employing the persons
when nee e.sary, and paying for the servi-
ces rrgaired. This hint dues not, of course,
apply to tbe offices of Clerk asd Treasurer
—obese are always needed ; and as the 'acr-
ylics required of them are both important
and arduous, they should be handsomely
paid. But it would certainly be better, and
perhaps more satisfactory to all parties in-
terested to pay the Surveyor, the Auditors,
and the Sent -oar, for the duties performed,
than to pay tbem by fixed salaries. it may
so happen that the salary will not be half a
remuneration for lbs services performed:
sod, to this ease, there is generally a rote
at the end of the year for an increase. And
this, to say the least of it, is very awkward
and a very suspicious method of traosseting
the public business. But it may also hap-
pen, and, it sometimes does happen. that, to
some of these instances, the salary is liter-
ally thrown away . No services are r.+
Timed—none aro performed, and, yet, the
salary has to be paid. This we call a prod •
igal expenditure of the pubic feeds.
We understand there is to be great scram-
bling for the Sutucitoribip this present year,
sed It is even in contemplation to put it t•
oder, in the same way a the Council priot-
ing is let. This, we think, would be wrong worm—for there are bad aad worm da the lawyer
trade. And therefore, we object decidedly,
to a salaried Solicitor. In the "glorious
uecertaimtiee" of law, a Solicitor to jut as
liable to give erroneous advice as any other
lawyer—if the advice is bad, the Connell
cannot make him re.ponsib!e for the cootie -
quinces. If he brings or defends aeuons
for the Council he most be paid just a
much as any other lawyer—and. if he loses
the action, the Council mt:at pay kissserer•
tktlss ! it a .vtdest, thee, that if the
Council totem] going to law, they can do
so on more advantageous terms by having
no Solicitor—if they steed to keep out of
law, the employing a Solicitor is like "set
ting the fox to guard the goose." The
best legal opinion in the Province can be
obtained for five pound", amd we aro not euro
bot for one year's salary of a Solicitor, the
Attorney General would furnish a commen-
tary on the Municipal Act, which would
supercede the necessity of legal opiate's*,
so long a the Act itself remained a force.
We therefore, advise the County Council
and the Town Council, If they wish to get mind out of debt, and difficulties end Muga.
tion, to have no Solic ilor.

LITERATURE AND THE STATE.
In the letter 1 addressed to Lord Brough.
am in reference to Southey, much was left
unsaid oo pennons to literary men, and on

opinion that pensions would be conferred by

tainly they would be if conferred by the.
resent Ministers; and probably. although
in • les degree, by others. This. objec-
tion is Pell!), removed by referring the
merit. of the reripient to a committee in

a benefit but an honor. Probably the time

TO TMa SDITO* Or TOS ■OROO aI.PAL
Bir,—At our Municipal Election hers on
the first Monday of the year, there was
some grumbling and cross-questioning a•
bout a certain vote of the late County Coun-
cil. in reference to the salary of the County
Clerk. It was asserted that the Council
had voted Mr. Otter an addition of twenty -
free rounds. While at the same time It
was alieiged that Mr. Lizars bad, at the
t of the year, offered to do
the duties of the once for the salary which
Mr. Otter was to receive before this twen-
ity-8ve pound. was voted. It was likewise
Meted, that kir• Otter never attended to the
duties of the office, but employed a deputy
at very low wages, while be himself was
employed, on very liberal pay, in the office
of the Canada Company, and yet it seems
our economical Council gave him twenty-
five pound" more then Mt. Litters had offer-
ed his services for ! is Mr. hizars lea
competent for such duties, or is -Mr. Otter
a pet of the Warden's? Perhaps, Mr. Ed-
itor, you could throw some light on .the
subject, by favoring the public with the par
ticulars of the case, and the names of the
worthy rages who show such remarkable
liberality with the people's money.
Yours, ke. HULLETT.
[Noon. —We only know tb•t such is the
fact—the twenty -few poxede wars eeted—
Ihe vote is to the forthcoming Minutes of
Coon.!, but we have not lemurs at present
to search for it—we will insert it in our
nest. The vote hes been attempted to be
justified by a very flimsy sophism, sed we
Heels it was obtained by some shawwork.—
We object to It upon principle, notbggause
we think seventy -fire pounds too moeb for
the duties required of the County Clerk—
we think sirs this amount is too little.—
But, viewing impartially the peculiar etr-
cometanees of the cues, we emphatically
deny the saldtty of Mr. Otter's claim, and,
at the same, deny the right of the Cooacll

TO That x01Toa OF Tea HOLO• nuum.-
Sir,—Io your last paper, under the head
of Meeicupel Eleettoss, you assert that
James Watson, Esquire, prompted either
gy a sena of " duty or a strong love of
consistency, about half an hour after the
Election had commenced, requested to be
put in nomication !" Now so far from tbus
being the cue, Mr. Watson positively ob-
jected to give his consent to be put forward
when applied to by us, and It wee at our tn-
stsguion solely that be was nominated, we
the.ubecribers having called upon his pro-
poser and seconder to request them to pro.
pose sod support him.
New aotw.tbetaading anything you may
say on the @object to the contrary, we knew
that had Mr. Watson expressed a deters to
reprosest St.'G.orgi s Ward to the Council
and canvassed for that purpose, or COMP
forward et the polling—he would have been
returned as be last you wee et the bead of
tbb poll.
We have felt it our duty to Mr. Watson
to notice your remarks ted ie the face of
your miestatement to put the public in pos-
...sion of the true facts ot the case.
