Where are the evidences upon which an un- favorable opinion of the men at present in power, could be based ? Have we not signs of prosperity everywhere? Is not the farmer prosperousâ€"don’t factor- ies abound ?. ' Is not commerce brisk and bouyant? and is not every class satis- fied with the' present, and hopeful of the future ? There is no side of humanity darker thaningratitudc, and to see men insensible to the merits of those who are so earnestly laboring for the advance- ment of the country, is enough to make one sceptical as to our capacity ior social or political improvement. Admit for the sake of argument that a good deal of money finds its way to the hands of our rulers--Well, What then ? Is it not money well spent? No wise man ever expects a good article without paying for ‘ it; and without this employment of money, how many a village Hambden might have toiled this a barren existence in mute, inglorious reposel The ordin- ary mind may stumble at this vulgar idea of money, but it is only your far reaching intellectthat can look forward to results, and secure them. Suppose Seth Huntington and a few others be annexa- tionists, this only shows their: superior- ity to the narrow prejudices of patriotism, and the present state of the Union will .go far to justify their preference. And if the Premier can do a stroke of busi- ‘ness for a relation gor friend,‘ he only evinces a vers1tality which can look to the affairs of the countryâ€"and his own. If the Finance Minister make blunders, does he not magnanimously own them and make more ? And if Mr: Mac- kenzie find himself sinking in cold water stretches, does he not wisely turn to the plans of his predecessors, which he had previously denounced? Much is said about “ puritv, ” and we are reminded of the number of Liberal members who have been unseated for bribery; and many comments have been made upon an earnest letter addressed to Mr. Simpson, and lost. without doubt upon the road. With such impertinent insinuations we must deal after the ex- ample of the Globe, attack the courts, and abuse the Judges. Is it to be thought of, that the towering flights of the dictator are to be hampered by or- dinary men of gown and ermine ; or that laws are to be observed by men who make them. The domain of' politics must be emancipated from the bench, and if Judges are sullied in the contest, upon themselves be the blame. Poor Goldwin Smith shook off the dust of his feet against a people plainly predestin- ated to ignorance. Alas! what results spring from moments of time? had he remained but a few short weeks until the Vigor and eloquence of the’ Globe’s at- tack upon the bench had appeared then (as Alison frequently remarks) the fate of the world might have been changed. At no time has a greater galaxy ruled a country ; their energy is only equalled by their brilliancy, and their purity is even greater than both. In spite of your comments sir, the country will conv‘ trive to appreciate them, and when that days comes as come it must (for even Troy fell) that Alexander Mackenzie and his coadjutors shall lay down the reins, we shall be presented with a spec- taale to which history can offer no paralâ€" IOL What confusion must seize upon their detractors? when the immaculate chejf, like another Samuel shall stretch forth his unsullied hand and sayâ€"wit- ness against me this day, whom have I delra-uded ? of whom have I received a bribe ?‘ Whose ox ? or whose ass ? or Whose hog‘hav‘e 1 taken ? And I will restore it you. DEAR Sm.â€"I have waited this long in complying with your request, that I might be able as far as possible to form a correct estimate of what I have found on reaching the “ Sunny South.” I could, might, and may be sometime will, dilate on the minutia of the journev, hence in a manner that might suit the ‘ tastes of some of the readers of your paper; but I have not time at present for that, moreover it would hardly suit my purpose. To the Editor of The Herald. To the Editor of The Herald. Being a Stranger in a strange land and as you read you will conclude in some sense a fish out of water. I would like company if I could get them of the right kind, so different has been what I have found from what I expected, that in writing as I now do I have not trusted even yet my own judgment, but have sought like the boys mother when he got into mischief to get to the bottom of things. It would not suit my present com- munication to give the authority always for my information, suffice it to say that the sources have always been reliable. Before the war-I am told it was no 1111- common thing for a planter to own 50 or 100 slaves; these constituted theirwealth, and of these they have been deprived without any compensation. The Ameri- can Government has done almost with a CHAMPION. Markham, 4th Dec., 1.876. OUR RULE RSâ€"THE OTHER SIDE. @mmmmiwmm ; I remain &c. FROM THE SOUTH. As for climate I am assured there is not a day in summer one cannot work, while there is not a night one does not need a cover. In the line of productions, I do not see why anything grown in Canada will not grow here; While many things caught by the frost in Canada, has all the season it wants here. Cow’s before they will stand mun have their calves, after the calf has suck- ed one holds it with a rope, while an- other milks about a quart from each cow. You can calculate for yourself of the big piles of the butter. ' A tile maker who could shove business, would do well or rather not one but a dozenl Of the soil, I have not yet been so sut- isfied, because I know better can be had? Yet on all I have travelled there is room for hundred of millions of a thrifty ilk~ dustrious population, if they had a few more of the concomitants of civilization to help them along. ' ' Baking is all done just before eating, and I am getting sick of it; I would give anything some times for a piece of cold bread. " You can get a good yoke of oxen fdr $50 or $60 ; a team of horses for $100; mules $50 to $75 per team. But they are wxld and skittish in their nature, compared with our animals. Mules are used a great deal here, because they seeih to stand the climate better. "1 The axe being the only thing I have seen for cutting wood, the introduction of our horse power sewing machines would work a revolution, for even the farmers use a good quantity of wood. In educational matters the country is much the same as Ontario was 20 years ago ; no Normal School, and consequent; 1y only county board certificates. Whild any fillibuster no matter what his pro"- tentions, can stick up a shingle and‘stai‘t a private academy. So that in that line those unable to judge have a good chance to concentrate their minds on the “ surv1val of the fittest.” ' ' A117 the grains can be raised with only about 200 miles at the farthest, to the seavboard. Any pine 1 have seen here yet is What we call Norway pine, and as there lé never snow enough for sleighing, I infer that a Waterous Portable would be the thing for the lumber business; unless where you could get on the bank of a. stream. I have only seen one mill befe yet, Where they seemed aWure of the bane- fit of floating the logs in the water. Broom corn can be raised here ,m amount, yet I only know of one “‘broa factory in the state. The blacks have wants that must be supplied. and yet not One out of one hundred knows how manfully to go about helping himself; yet, I suppose, that in many parts they form the majority-of the population. These are Southern chickens and they are coming home to roost. .The Northeners see this and are shoving their railroads into the country with an energy almost unknown to us. While for everything eatable, drinkable, readable, they charge double its;proper value ; excuse-they have ton bring it so far. Railroad travel, for in- stance, from 5e to 80 per mile; apples, 50, or a niekle apiece; while they Could. be grown here as well as not. Every place of profit or trust is held by Northerners, simply because they are more capable of filling them. San An- tonia the oldest city of the state, has not a railroad, not yet has Austin the Capi- tal. Along 600 miles of railroad where they use all wood, I could see no way of cutting it but the axe. ' The Galveston and Houston papers ‘aro something like what the Leader was 20 years ago. While all the really good papers come all of 1000 miles, which you can easily see will make them cost about double whatthey should be; heuqe the 01‘]ng of a book, you may be have read viz : “ Southern riches and North- ern profits.” The smallest local sheet cost 32,00 per annum, excuse, so far to bring the paper. There is only two or three paper mills in the South, most paper here comes from St. Louis. I have read a pamphlet en- titled arguments for moving the NatiOn- al Capital to St. Louis, snid arguments are very plausible indeed. It is pitifully painfully painful to wit, ness the crestfallen, lack-lustre, dejected state of society? generally. jerk, what it took the British Governâ€" ment10 years to accomplish. The planters tried the system of hiring the blacks, meum ct tuwm was one about: as much discusSed in the slaves head as in that of o'f'reynard or pretty poll. Consequent- ly freedmen are generally very conscient- ious workmen, and as trouble never come singly of late years the staple here cot- tan has collapsed. So judge for yourself of the financial: condition of the “ Solid South.” Railroad travel is about double what it should be, because their is not enough to make it pay ; hence the eagerness amongst all parties concerned for the in- flux of immigration. I think I have said enough to show what a chance there is, for any one with a little money and good sense enough to make a. good use of it. If you know of any one who won“. think of coming this way, I shall bo glad to afford him ail the information he may want, or refer him to reliable parties who can I remain in the meantime, Yours truly, J.
