VASAINGTON, June ‘22 “ We think that the time has not yet arrived, bad as is our condition, for such proceedingsâ€"that under any circumstances every constitu- tional remedy must be exhausted before resort is made to the strong hand; but we do say, that the ex- pressive language used by Mr. BURWELL, a member of one of the oldest Conservative families in Western Canada, and a man of moderate feelings and calm judg- ment, is sufficient to make the Go- vernment, and more particularly the Governor General, take warn- ing how they and he proceed. We need not say that Mr. BURWELL does not stand alone, that there are thousands of Upper Canadians who would be perfectly willing to shoulder their mus/cats against the pnsent re- gime, if they were satisfied that by no other means could a remedy be obtained.” The Ayr Observer thus writes :â€"- “ Such things, however, must be expected while our present tyrants rule. Upper Canada is thoroughly weary of her present corrupt tyrants and their corrupt servants. A day of reckoning cannot be far distant. The sooner it comes forthe country the better. Then corrupt masters and servants will meet their just reward.” \leat a strange perplexing world is"tliis in which we live ; hostility and strife enters largely into its his- tory. The battleâ€"field of civilized nations, the war whoop of the sa- v.1ge, alike testfy to the combative- ness of man. To tear his brother to pieces seems to be the grand ob- ject of life. Discontented with all the present, he is constantly form- ing plans to gain some future good, which too often, like the mirage of the Desert, escapes him, just as he is placing the chalice to his lips ; and, “like the baseless fabric of a dream, it leaves not a wreck be- hind.” The times we live in are peculiarly crltical, and ‘we strongly advise the teeming thousands of Canada to pause and think awhile, lest a false step should hurl them into the abyss on the verge of which they are standing. Party strife is fast hurrying us into danger. The proprieties of langu- age are being disregarded, and all decency is fast losing ground ; the vernacular of Smithfield and Bil- lingsgate is becoming dangerously common. Dark, mysterious and ambiguous threats are used by many public journals, which sa- vours more of blood and war than of legitimate Progress and Reform. The following is from the daily Globe 2â€"â€" From the Montreal Argus. “ They may brazen it out for a brief interval, but jacm est alca; the shaft is driven that will pierce them to the heart.” “ The Governor General who sits at the head of our Colonial Govern- ment, is a man utterly unfit to oc- cupy the position he was appointed to till by the Home Government.

There are abuses existing; but let confusion and dismay seize upon those Politicans who make such a pretext to hint at a Revolution in order to frighten the Government, or arouse the hellish passions of man. We have very high notions concerning the liberty of the press, but we think that some curb should be put upon those who use that liberty to subvert law and order. Where are the nations who have Revolutionizcd ? \Vhy, they are under the iron heel of the Oppres- sor. Let it teach us a lesson, for Revolutions have destroyed more nations than it has made free. Al- though we are pained to see such a want of principle in many of our public men,â€"yet, we are far from believing all that these blood- thirsty Polticians say. Many of their mountains are molehills, and their extraordinary dcvelopemcnts shams, which only show the weak- ness and desperate fortunes of that party, who, to keep a Political exis- tence, has to resort to such arti- fices. On Tuesday, the 22nd instant, the Newton Stewart Division, Sons of Temperance, held a Grand De- monstration on the beautiful banks of Musselman’s Lake. The scenery was exceedingly delightful, being well studded with trees. A Pro- cession was formed from the Divi- sion Room to the place of entertain- ment, where a sumptuous tea was provided at noon, after which the chair was taken by the Rev. J. DeeGeir. Some excellent speeches were made by Mr. Flint, the Rev. Mr. Fowler, the Rev. Mr. Gordon, of Markham, and others. At the close of the speeches a second tea was provided. Several lively and beautiful airs were played by the Victoria Brass Band. We think that we have never been to any party where there was more unmixed enjoyment evinced by all present. The company was numerous, the day fine, the speak- ing excellent, and the scene en- chantingly beautiful. We think that good taste was shown in se- lecting so lovely :1 spot.

Mr. Button‘s first reason 2â€"- " The Roman Catholics ground their de< mend upon the fact that the fund was appor- tioned to the municipalities according to popu- lation. and being a port of that population, they say they ought to share in the fund. But this argument would apply equally to grammar and private schools. and academies, which would have an equal right. to participate in the fund with the rest of the populutiou; but they never dream of melting such a demand. nor would it be granted if medo.â€"Thev next say that the wording of the resolution of the Council, grant- ing the fund to Common Schools, includes the Separate Schools. But it is not so.” MR BUTTON’S “REASONS, 810." THE “ ECONOMIST ” AND REV. G. S. J. HILL. If Mr. Button believes that the in justice to which he has chosen to be a party is justified by such areason, I am in- clined to think that he is not equal to the proper discharge of the responsible duty of Reeve. Does he notknow that “Gram~ mar Schools” are already amply pr0vided for by law’! Does he not also know that ‘5 private Schools and Academies” are not permitted by law to participate in the Legislative Grant, as are Separate Schools? And if Separate Schools are by law entitled to a share of the Govern- ment School Grant, in justice they should not be denied their fair proportion of any public monies given for School purposes, only excepting the local rate, to which they are not entitled, because they are exemptfrom paying the Common School rate in consequence of having the powsr to levy a local rate upon their 0WD supâ€" pozters. As to “ the wording of lhe re- solution of the Council,” which he asserts is what we consider to include Separate Schools, (but he thinks not,) I deem to be of minor importance,â€"â€"we take higher ground,â€"we assert that in justice, equity and law, we are entitled to itâ€" notwithstanding the opinion to the con~ trary of Mr. Button (l) and the majority of the Council. Mr. Button’a 2nd reason :â€" N A Separnta School. from the very fact of sopnraling. causes to be a Common School. It does not come under the provisions ofthe Com- mon School act. but under In special statute called the " Separalc School Art," by which THE GOLDEN PRIZE, ILLUS TRATED. REAPE RS AND MOWERS (Enrrwpunhtnte. To the Editor of the British Tribune‘ That Separate Schools are not Com- mon Schools, I rejoice to say, is partially true! But I beg leave to inform Mr. Button, that as they are subject to “all the penalties provided against Common Schools,” and only differ from the latter by being;r exclusively Roman Catholic, with the power of taxing themselves for school purposes, they are, as :1 portion of the body-politic, entitled to all the rights of citizens, having an equal interest in all public monies, with their Protestant fellowcountryineu, in proportion to their numbers; they are entitled to avail themselves ofall the provisions of Mr. Button’s favourite Common School Act, which are not inconsistent with the Separate School Act,-â€"-as the 1st sec. of the 18th Victoria, chapter 131, proves. 'l‘he “ adherents” of Se- parate Schools are " exempt from all Municipal Taxes for Common School purposes ” only when they have a Separate School of their own, and satisfy the Mu- nicipal authorities that they pay their school taxes for the support of such schools ;â€"â€"do Protestants do more 1â€" And would Mr. Button expect those who pay their Separate School tax, to pay likewise for Common Schools? Do Ca- tholics not contribute to the general re- venue, in proportion to their wealth and numbers, as others do? And in school sections, where Separate Schools are not in existence, do Roman Catholics not con- tribute to the “ Municipal SchoolFund"? Mr. Button knows that they do ! so does Mr. Reesor, yet they would fain lead their readers to think otherwise. \thn the Clergy Reserve Fund became a portion of the general funds of the Township, every Catholic inhabitant had an interest in it, and cannot be “ debarred ” from it without committing a gross act of in- justice. The Municipal Council only “ sets apart every year ” the taxes levied for school purposes, to which the Catholic nhabitants ofour school section do not contribute, because, as I stated before, the law compels them to levy a school tax on themselves,â€"hence they have no privilege in this respect, which exempts them from paying the same as their Protestant neigh- bors do. Mr. Button cannot be ignorant of this; ifnot, then! why is he not honest? If he is, why is he exalted to the dignity or Chief Magistrate of the Municipality 1 Mr. Button’s 3rd reason"â€" “ The Clergy Reserve fund was given to the municipalities upoutho express condition that it was only to be applied to any purpose, In sup- port ufwluclt the municipality cuuld luz dtzpub- tic. N ow. no one pretends that the Municipal- ity could tax the public to support Separate Schools ; but they do tax the public for the support of Common Schools. ana therefore they arejuslified in granting to the Common Schools the Reserve fund for their use.” its adherents aro uxor Taxes levied for ll Schools, are cut ofl'l'rt of the kind, and con its adherents are exempted from all Munictpal Taxes levied for the support of Common Schools, are cut nll't'rom rill municipal burdens. of the kind, and consequently, are doburred from claiming any assistance from the munici- pality :â€"For instance the municipality sets apart every vein a grant for Common Schools, the Local Superintendent divides itnmongst the Common Schools, but gives more to the Separate Schools. who only receive a grant through the Chief Superintendent from the Legislature, but none from the Municipal Funds. Now, since tho Clergy Reserves be- came a part oftho Municipal Fund. the Sep« nrale Schools have no more claim upon it than they have upoL the yearly municipal grant to Common Schools.” No such flung, Mr. Button; your con- struction of the 18th Victoria, chapter 2, proves to me that you cannot have read the law. I will quote it for you: Mr. Button thinks that the “ Council could not legally include the Separate School in the appropriation of the Clergy Reserve Fund,” and then lets the truth out by saying that he does not think it “ ex- pedient! to assist Separate Schools.”â€" There is not an honest man in the Town- ship of Markham, who understands the subject, but will acknowledge that this is wretched special pleading, to say the least of it. " It providns that the Clergy Reserve fund shall be “ apportioned equally among the sev- “ oral Municipalities respaclively, according to " tlw than last census, and shall make part of “ the ll? Ganeral Funds oft/1e Municipalitng " and be applicable to any purpose to which “ such funds are applicable." No “ express condition.” It simply be- came a part of the General Fund of the Township. in which we have an inter- est, and cannot in justice be deprived 01 it. \Vhen It was decided that the money should be appropriated for schools, the Separate School here became entitled to its proportional share. Mr Button’s 4th reason : “It appears than that the Township Counci could not legally include the Separate School in the approplialion of the Clergy Reserve Fund. But let us look at the question in an- other point of View, viz.. would it be cmpedient to assist lhe Separate Schools 7 The answer We are not exempt from any Munici- pal butdens, by having Separate Schools; if we do not [my Common School tax, we pay Separate School tax. \Vbere is the injury to our Protestant fellow-citizens in this? As to being satisfied with “ to- leration,” and be thankful I” I am M a loss to understand him.â€"-“ Thankful for toleration,” indeed! Ah! Mr. But- ton, after such an opinion, from a man "The Municipal Council would be doing a great injustice to the public they represent were they to grant anything more than tolera- lian to Separate Schools.” Mr. Bulton’s 5th, 6th,and 7th reasons are conclusive, and worthy oftlxe author,-- but to an intelligent people, tue majority of whom desire to extend freedom ofcon- science to all men, such sentiments will be repudiated as unsuited to n free and enlightened nation. They are as follows: “The Separate Schools are merely toleratâ€" ul ; those who wish for them must support themselves, and they may be thankful for to]- eration and exemption from all municipal bur- dens in the shape of school tax. without calling upon the Municipality to support their sectarian and exclusive institutions.” ” The Common Schools are provided for the education of all the children of the land. all denominations. oxcopt the Roman Catholics, approve of and use them. If the latter choose to separate, and ask for exclusive privileges, oxemptiug themselves from all municipal bur- dens in support of Common Schools, they ought to be content if they get Separate Schools. without expecting any assistance from the public in support of their exclusive institu- tions.” sworn to do justice to all impartial]? , as Reeve of the Township. and a County Magistrate,1 do feel that you are as much an ODjECt of pity as contemptuâ€" I will therefore take leave of you for the present, with a hope that after the dog- days have gone bye, you will exhibit more christian fueling towards those who, at least, are your superiors in charity. I regret exceedingly to find that Mr. Reesor persists in asserting that the Rev. G. S. J. Hill, Rector of Markham, and Local Superintlindent of schools, is the author uf“Mr. Button’s reasons.” Mr. Hill is a gentleman of education ; possess- ed of refined taste and feeling, and, I hope, as a dignitary ol' the Church of England, (the Synod ofwhich adopted the following Report on Education, in which it will be seen they are about to claim Separate Schools,) is above using such exploded nonsense towards his fellow- clii'istians, as are contained in the “ reaâ€" sons ” purporting to he given by \Villiam Button, of Markham. EuuculoNAL Knownâ€"Dr. BOVELL read the report of the Educational Committee . Rsvom or THE Comm-nan (IN EDUCATION â€"At the close oftho last Synod a Committee was appointed to enquire as to what modifica- tions could be made in the School Act to re“. der education more acceptable to the churches than itis at present. The committee have the honor to report that on entering on the duties assigned to them. they have constantly kept be- fore their minds the duty they owe to their Heavenly Master, and that which desires them to live in obedience to their lawful rulers. Di- vesting themselves therefore. of all factions or unnecessary opposition to the law of the land. they have endeavored to discover the opinions of others not onlv in Canada. but in England and America with reference to general educa- tion and aided by such light. as well as that which has been diffused by the discussion ofthe question among ourselves, your committee has arrived at the conclusion. that the time has now come when a united effort should be made to secure to the Church of En land and Ireland in Canada, the liberty to e ucate her youth wherever that church has made provision for instruction. either in her capacity as a diocesan church, or in the more united statute of paro- chial organization. As long as (I? the church advocates separate schools £9 without giving evidence of her sincerity by making provision therefor, the question of their being cxempt from common school taxation, or from their quota of the educational tax being handed back for their separate management. was plainly one of no small difiiculty,‘ but now that in many instances the members of that church have taxed themselves for the erection of build- ings and machinery. and are actually carrying out a system of education based on Christian doctrine and discipline, your committee feel that it is not too much to hope that the justice of the cause will commend itself. and the re- quisite relief be granted. hfififihfififi Your committee therefore bog leave to re- commend that a respectful memorial be pre- sented to the proper authorities. praying them so to amend the Common School Act. as to enable the Church of England and Ireland, wherever schools are erected and established for common school education by 1.0: several congregations. to have the quota of common school tax. which they pray may be assigned over to their schools for the sole purpose of ed- ucalion. Your committee further recommend that it be distinctly stated that no opposition would be ofl'ered to a government inspection of such schools with a view to assuring the authorities thatthe education given in the schools is in se- cular branches sufficient. All of which is most respectfully submitted. Having read the report, the Rev‘ gentleman gave notice that he would move for a petition to be presented to the Legislature for carrying out these views. as follows :â€" DRAFT or menuL ox Er)uc\1‘IoN,â€"The Memorial of the Right Rev, Lord Bishop of Toronto. and the Members of the Synod of the Diocese of Toronto, in Diocesan Synod assembled.

J. II. Cameron recommended that the adoption of the report alone should be moved. as it might be found that the present School Act would admit of all that was required. After reading the foregoing “ Report” by the Church Synod, I think Mr. Reesor will cease to accuse the Rev.

Well then, Iknow I saw fifty, said the boy! and thus they went on, the Master pooh, poohing, the whole affair, till at last the poor boy in a fit of despemtion replied, well I know I saw two cats,l‘or I saw them fighting.” Mr‘ Reesor, in his rash and headlong zeal to annihilate Orange- ism, says that there were “ some half- dozen petitions persented,” but being cor- nered by your correspondenrs, he states ‘thuszâ€" “ We have been assured, on most re- spectable authority, that a third petition was put in circulation in the Township of Pickering, which went to Show (what we believe to be perfectly true) that the wife of John McNeely and her friends were very respectable people. Upon this peti- tion many signitures were obtained that would not subscribe to the first one pre- sented. But what was the result ? This petition, No. 3, alter it was numerously‘ signed, had its heading cut olf, and the names attached to petition No. 2, which the parties to the No. 3, petition had positively refused to sign. These facts have been communicated to us from the most reliable source.” How dare you, Mr. Editor, in the face of such honest manmuvres, call Mr. Ree- sor a Chamelion1you ought to be asham- ed of yourself. Ifyou persevere in such a course I will get the Economist to hire the ZVew Canadian Poet tu scribblel against you. Then indeed “ the Splemlor ‘ ol'your fame will begin to grow pale,” for if he can (as he says he can) “ lick the Dâ€"â€"â€"l and all creation,” he can ceitu n'y lick you. So, beware, for “war he is real mad against you. Yours truly, AN ORANGEMAN. Now is not this anice little trick? What consummntate genius it displays. How nicely he understands Sir Roberti Peel‘s sliding scale. Let yourself down‘ gently Dear Reesor,â€"-do for goodness sake. But, to be serious, is this his grand charge against our noble Institution ’1 Verity, Reesor, you may think yourself a heroâ€"but it is of the Tom Thumb species; you may bluster and swagger, but the public will only be the oftener re- minded of the vearnings of Esop’: cele- brated ambitious frog. But it must not be forgotten that this Lihputian receives his information “from the most reliable sources.” I wonder If it is from the same party who informed him that there were “ somehqu dozen petitions drawn UPI?) not be fora moment doubted; and be sure don’t say they lied, for it is so vulgar and shocks the delicate duck’s (Reesor’s) tender nerves. Perhaps in consideration of the Editor's weak nerves you had bet- ter say as the Quaker said “ Friend, thee speaks twang.” But it would seem that even Reesor himselfis {halfafraid that the “ most respectable authority,” may leave Ifso, such truthful testimony can- ill”) in the lurch, and so has provided him- selfwith the following means of escaping from a position that may turn out too hot to hold him :â€" “ If true, they show an abominnblv state of thi|1g<, much worse, m a moral point of View, than we had supposed.” MR ED1TOR,â€"\Ve are all very dull just now, by the way, if our neighbors could only read the reports of our local coui ts of justice, they must estimate our sense of justice, as they estimate our social life. Undoubtedly the administra- tion of law by itinerant judges is a most curious and a most perplexing studyâ€"â€" close attention to it Would madden any sensitive logician. I propose that you attend our local courts, and hook out a few of the most eceentric cases, report them faithfully. so that our neighbors may be able to read and digest the most grotesquely original law dispensing move- ments. Ilad your special correspondent been in attendance at our lust court, I should have been spared the trouble of forwarding you an account of the notably doings in my own case, which I hope,you will insert. Unionville, June 22, 1858. No wonder at the hard times;â€"it is buta‘just punishment for the Wholesale official depravity which is now daily ex~ posed. To procure oue’s own rights now-a-days is a diflicult task, to retain them is doubly so Hence my case.â€"â€"I am poor m pocket, poor in education ; and in the last Division Court I was poorly treated, or rather, in a most flippant man- ner I received eccentric justice. In a simple straight-forward manner I’ll deâ€" scribe the fact in my own household ver- nacular tongue. Some time ago I pur- chased a few acres of land and premises, to have possession on a certain day. I paid half the purchase money down,-â€"nn unexpected affair overshadowed my pres- pcct of meeting my future paymentS,‘ tlicrelore, to prevent trouble and annoy“ ance to myself, and the party of Whom I purchased the property, I resold: and bar- gained to give peaceable possessron also on a fixed date. The specified time arrived, I received my monethut could “(it give possession, havmg never received it irom‘ Ithe party of whom I bought It. I was sued for damages in our Division Court; had about eight pounds to pay. I did not defend the suit, because 11m.er Iwas the dd‘aultcr. Now, to recov er back the money, I turned round and sued the party of whom I purchased, he being the first defaulter; but to my utter astonishment. and the wild gaze of the crowded court the case was gar-rated, nay, decapitated with guilotine speed. His honor, lhe learned judge, either could not, or would not give my case A hearing. To the Editor of the British Tribune. ECCENTRIC J US'I‘ICE. \Vhetherloeal court judges have the privilege, or optional power to hear §§l decide choice or put cases, and refuse 1 untoward ones, I am not Blackstone enough to say; neither do [know where to seek iustice in small affairs, if our local court functionaries dare to refuse to give a proper case a hearing, nay nimny small it out. The discordant and irre- lavent prating of the Home book lawyer was truly lumpishly ridiculous! and shot out. iceicle-like, when he vulgarly told the medical man, (whilst giving an explanaâ€" tion of the part he had acted in the affair.) that he, (the doctor) would say and swear anything. However, all this was no in- formation to the court. \Vould to God such men would surrender their place to others better able to see their way. \Vith respect, Mr. Editor, Yours, THOMAS SMITH, Senr.
