t U But there is a mischievrous notion abroad that a powerful array of legal talent is calâ€" culated to defeat the ends orf justice. This is a libel on the character of the honest juryâ€" men,of Carleton,‘ who are far more likely to be put upon their guard by the exira prepaâ€" rations for defence, than to be deceived by the brilliant array of Coungel.into a miscon. ception of the true bearing of the facts subâ€" mutted â€" in evidence. If these _ are found _ sufficient, in accordance with the interpretation â€"of the law by the bench, to warrant conviction, the public should not assume beforehand that any numâ€" ber of able lawyers can warp the judgment of the jury so asito make the verdict other than that which on their ocaths, and before God and man, they are bound to find. Alrealy we notice that it has crept into print that the witness Lacrorx is the man who was accused of the murder: There was a cousiderable amount of specâ€" ulation in town on Satur.day as to the probaâ€" ble result, and no small degree of wonderment expressed at the success of Mr. Joux O‘ Fazâ€" ELL, in securing three leading members of fhe, Ontario Lar, one of them being also a member of the Ontario Government, to conduct his defence. ~Such . an unâ€" usual array of professional talent way well excuse the public curiosity which exists conceruiny the mears which have brought it about ; but these means no doubt may be conveniently designated as consisting chiefly in money. And it may further be surmised that this money is drawn chiefly from Fenian or proâ€"Fenian sources, and that these, though adequate to the feeing of Counâ€" sel, were not happily powerful enough to get up the picâ€"nic at GutrBavLr‘s on Wednesâ€" day, or even to make a respectable muster in its favour.

The resolution passed at the Convention recently held in this city is clearly of a character which gives cuâ€" rency to the rumor that its adoption was the result of the political fnesse of Mr. Howe and bis triends. It is notorious that this resoluâ€" tion has not met with the cordial approval of the extreme men of the repeal party, who bave, however, been obliged to give it their silent assent, rather than show, at this stage, that there is any division in their councils. ‘There can be little doubt that Mr. Howe is inclined to proceed with great cantion henceforth, and in corroboration of.this fact, I need only reâ€" fer tochis recent leiters which, even the antiâ€" Unionists cannot deny, bave been obviously circulated with a view of throwing oil upon the troubled waters, and preparing the public for a more conciliatory and statesmanlike policy on his part, as soon as he believes that the time has come for openly declaring himâ€" self. It is reasonable to suppose thata man like Mr. Howe must see the folly of continâ€" uous agitation, which can neverresult in any possible good, but must end, it carried to exâ€" tremes, in the ruin of valuable interests throughout this province ; unfortunately, howâ€" ever, he has succeeded in raising a formidable p;bty, whose only chance of keeping hold ot the public mind consists in continuing that agitation on the question of Union,which alone hasbrought,and may retain them on the surface., Mr. Howe had certain selfish designs to proâ€" mote whenhe led up the opposition to this question, and unfortunately took a course :tlal:: nmtb-lw.yunu his reputation as a man ; but now havi unished t who had offended him, hef gotrbtleu, bclil:::: that the time has come when heâ€" should recede from his former attitude of bostility to a union which he must see cannot be bhastily broken up at the dictation of the party which be himself bas been instrumentrl in forming throughout this country. _ But Mr. Howe has succeeded in creating numerous little demaâ€" gogues, who have already tasted the sweets of power and position, and feel by no fmeans inâ€" clined to throw aside the weapons which alone have made them formidable. Many of Mr. Howe‘s allies in this controversy have been men to whom he had been politically obnoxâ€" ious during the greater part of his public career. ° For, instance, there is Mr. Wilkins, When I last wrote you, L referred at some length to the very intemperate and offensive tone assumed by the leading organs of the Antiâ€"Union party, and also quoted from a number of their editorials which were really se jitious and disloyal. Strangers unacquaintâ€" ed with the characteristics of our press would have naturally supposed that the public irriâ€" tation on the question of Union had assumed a very formidable character, and that the great mass of the people of this Province were acâ€" tually prepared to resort to extreme measures, for the purpose of exbibiting their determinaâ€" tion to have no connection with theit sister colonies. Since the return of the Delegates and the assembling in this city of the Antiâ€" Union representatives,a verysignificant change has taken place in the tone ofthe organs of the repeal party. Asintimated in a previous let. tet would probably be the case, two parties have already commenced to form among the opponents of the Union in this province. As far as I can‘learn, the extreme party find its principal strength among the members of the Local Legislature, whilst very many of the men returned to Ottawa are disposed to lpnr- sue a more moderate and conciliatory policy.

THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN NOVA sCOTIA. a Tory of the old school, a man of extreme views, rash, dogmatic and inconsistent, always opposed to Mr. Howe, and only now willing to be associated with him, as long as their aims are the same, and their intert‘tl are identical. Even Mr. Annand, it is said, atter having perâ€" formed the part of the man Friday for so many years, thinks that he has now gathered strength suflicient to strike out on his own account, and leave Mr. Howe to his own devices.. So Mr..Howe, surposing he is really desirous of pursuing a couciliatory policy, finds himself in the‘difficult position of being trammelled by a circle of rash, indiscreet and selfish men, who believe that they can only retain power by keeping up this agitation until after the next elections. 4 f I were able within the limits of this article, to go into any review of documents which have ouly to be râ€"ad to be condemned by those who are at all well informed on this question of Union. Every clause shows the impress ot the mind of Mr. Attorneyâ€"General Wilkins, who never yet could be brought to look at a subject in a rational spirit, or without investâ€" log it with his peculiar crotchets. Not only are these documents replete with the ‘ wretched legal quibbles, but they are even un‘ grammatical and illogical in parts. It woul be difficult to find State papers any where ; You have probably referred to the minute of Council and the resolutions which the Governâ€" ment have recently laid on the table of the House of Assembly, as the exposition of their tuture policy. 1t is not my intention, even it Tus Rev.

Auex. Bisnor or St. Bosirace The Toronto Globe has had a corresponderit in this city daring the visit of Sir John A. Macdonald, and other prominent members of the Dominion Government, and it. has apâ€" parently been his object to so distort facts as to make them palatable to the journal with which he is connected. It is asserted that the visit was not merely a failure, but was actually calculated to do more harm than good to the cause of Union throughout this Provin:e. So far as I have been able to judgeâ€"and certainly my opportunities tor forming & correct opinion bave been at least equal to those afforded to the writer . in questionâ€"the urbanity and courtesy of the Canadian visitors have most favorably impressed all those with whom they were brought into contact during their very short stay in the Province. They invariably discussed all questions connected with the sitâ€" uation of affairs with a patience and moderaâ€" tion of tone that clearly showed their desire to redress any just grisvances that this country may wish removed. It has been a matter of complaint in certain quarters, especially in the House, that they came forward without any settled or definite proposition of compromise, but.how was it porsible for them to have done so when neither they nor their supporters anywhere are aware of the wrongs, or bave ever admitted that the scheme of Union bears hardly upon the people of Nova Scotia, They have, however, told the antiâ€"Union party that they are quite prepared to meet them in a most friendly ‘and conciliatory spirit with a vier of benefitting their _ commour county and to relieve them from any unnecessary burthens that may be shown to cxist ; but so far, in no single instance, have the opponents of Union been able to prove that this province has been treated unfairly. On the contrary the Financial Secret:{ lately, in the Houseof Assembly, was obliged to confess that there was actually a surplus in the treasury, which ‘bad" been ‘declared time and again to be enâ€" tirely drained. Mr. Blanchard, representing the Union party in the House, has proved by figures that cannot be, and have never yet been, fairly controverted, that the province has received nearly $400,000 more than she contributed to the Dominion. It has been asâ€" sertedâ€"leaving the financial question asideâ€" that the Canadian Executive came to this city prepared to offer large inducements in the sbape of Senatorships and other offices, to prominent members of the Repeal party, proâ€" vided they gave in their adhesion ‘to: the Union,. It would, indeed, be giving Sir John A. Macdonald credit for yvery® little ?oliticnl â€"sagacity to suppose that he would imagine that such a course would be calculated, under ezisting circumstances, to promote the Union cause in this province, Onthe contrary such a course would only irtitate and strengthen the Repeal party, and besides seriously annoy the Unionists,who have fought out the battle fearâ€" lessly and in a spirit of selfâ€"sacrifice, which bas proved them actaated by a lofty patriotism which enables them to look beyond the mere present to the future greatness and prosperity of the united provinces. L«t the Dominion Government deal with the affairs of this proâ€" vince in that liberal, forbearing, and really statesmanlike manner, which is best calculated to prove that they‘are not the political inâ€" triguers which these reckless antiâ€"Union jourâ€" | nalists have beon assiduously laboring to show them to be. At the inception of the new order .of things, statesmanlike qualities must be displayed, or elss troubles and difficulties without numbeg must arise. Letall appoint. nate, certainly, that this Confederation should have gone into operatiou at a time when comâ€" ‘mercial depression existed throughout this Province, chiefly in consequence ofthe repcal of the Reciprocity Treaty ; but it requires no elaborate argument to show that this state of things will not be improved by unnecessary excitement on a question which must. be honâ€" estly worked out before its effects ard apparâ€" ent, ‘lhe progpects for the future are good ; the accounts from all parts of the Provincs promiso an excellent harvest, and breadstuffs _are likely to be far lower than they wero last wintor. _A movement is now on foot which is likely to give us a renewal of our former trado relations with the United States. â€" Never was the city of Halifax in a more prosperous conâ€" dition than at the preseut time. . The assessed value of its real estate has increased by a milâ€" lion of dollars within a year, and over two hundred buildings, many ot them of a very expensive character, are going up â€" during the present season. ‘The construction of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway is rapidly . progressing, and ‘ere many months pass, the Capital will be brought into immediate connection with the fertile counties of the West.

One of the most.gratifying teatures of theseâ€" Acts is the tact that they contain the names of ‘ many Canadian capitalists, who are evidently determined. not to allow the Americans, ‘as it has been hitherto the case, to control ‘the greater part of our mines.

In the rural districts, of which I can speiak from persunal knowledg», the utmost apathy exists on the question, outâ€" side of a few blatant village lawyers. The fact is, that the intelligent masses are rapidly coming to the conclusion that Repeal can never be achieved under existing circumâ€" stances,and that time must be given to work out the Union fully and fairly, before any opinion can be legitimately passed on its merits or defects, â€" The people of this country have wore important and pressing duties to perform than to assist a few political agitators in their efforts to keep themselves in office. It would be an insult to the common sense and intelliâ€" gence of the steady and reflecting yeomanry of Nova Scotia, to suppose for one moment that they do not see the folly of further agitaâ€" tion, and the wisdom of allowing matters to settle down quietly with the view of encourâ€" aging enterpriee and trade. It was unfortu. _ The dehate on these State papers has been of an cxceediogly tame . character, and shows very conclusively that the spirit has been alâ€" ready pretty effectually drawn out of the Repeal controversy. The local members are of course bound to ty and keep up this â€"agitaâ€" tion for the reasons I have intimated, but, however much they may labour, they cannot belp showing that they are entirely paralyzed with respect to future action. ‘They appear to rest all their hopes on the result of the ensuâ€" ing elections in England, and on the return of a new Ministry in which Mr.Bright may hold an influential position. But when we considâ€" er that Mr. Gladstone and nearly all the other leading public men with whom he is politically identified, are also committed to this question like Mr. D‘Israeli and his associates, it is , difticult to understand how the ensuing élecâ€" tions can place the Repeal party of this proâ€" vince in a more favorable position. Even should Mr. Bright form a constituent part of a new Ministryâ€"not a very probable event I . thiokâ€"heâ€" would find himself in a position very different from what he has occupied in opposition, aod hardly disposed to come to: issue with his colleagues on a question on which the public opinion of England is so clearly decided..

On.the other hand, by bowing to what appears to be the inevitâ€" able. decree of fate, and giving our best energies to the cstablishment of this Confederation, â€" we shall not only beneâ€" fit ‘ ourselves but the generations that come after us. It is frequently urged by those quite competent to.speak authoritatively on the point, that the eloctions of September last did not so much prove the opposition of the great m«ss of the people to Union itself, but rather their disapproval of the manner in which tae meacure was passed. Now I shall not here enter into the question, whether the persons who voted against Union for this reaâ€" son acted wisely or unwisely ; it is quite sufficient for me to know that such wos the case. Now admitting this to have becu the fact, may I not ask if the people have not alâ€" ready sufficiently punished thoss who, they believe, actod so as to forfeit public confiâ€" dence. Nay more, if the people,;wish it, they \ need never hercafter allow thoss whom they believe unworthy of their favor to return to public life, or occupy prominent positions in the public service. But why continue an | agitation which ,cannot culminate in avy posâ€" sible good ? It is nothing bstter than madâ€" ness for suy number of men to continue to array themselves on the side of a party who are laboring to break up a system of Union which, in itself, is wise and good, although the manner in which it was passed may have been \/indiscreet in the opinion of many : persons. The patriotic course for every honest and patriotic man is to put down every attempt to continue any injurious agitation, and endeavor to allay any irritation that mgy still ekist.

A few words respecting the future to the readers of the Tixzs in Nova Scotia. It is very evident that the annexationistsâ€" dare not openly proclaim themselves in the face of the indigâ€" nation that has already been exhibited in conâ€" sequence of the indiscreet sentiments of the repeal press, to which {called attention in my previous letter. No doubt there are many &nâ€" nexationists scattered throughout thisProvince who have been makiog use of the antiâ€"Unionâ€" feeling to create a prejudice against Grcat Britain ; ‘but the intefiigent masses have been gradually awakening to the criminal folly of annexation to the United States, and are daily giving very significant signs that ths men who presume to openly declare such a pol icy must prepare to suffer political disgrace, sooner or later, at the hands of an indignant pzoâ€" ple. For this reason the annexationists in the Legislature are comparatively quiet, and have combined for the present with the great majority, who assert that they will only reâ€" sort to "constitutienal means" to obtain reâ€" peal.

Hollingsworth then turned out the guard. Witness raw Riley nearthe barracks at about the same time. â€" This closed the caso for the Crown, after which Mr. Lyon addressed the jury for the deâ€" fence, pointing out the grave nature of the offence charged, and the necessity for carefully weighing the evidence adduced for the proseâ€" cution. He contrasted the testimony of Hughes with that of the last witness, and comâ€" mented upon the improbability of the former‘s story of not having spoken to anybody duaring his walk that evening. _ Ho dwelt at some length upon the discrepancies of Hughes‘ whole tale, and ridiculed the assumption that so young and slight a person as the prisocer could wilfully have been the assailant of a man so much more powerful. The medical evidence described an injury which could not have been inflicted by such a boy as the prisoner upon an antagonist, who was not only heavier, but taller than his accused assailant. At best the evidence for the Crown proved the prosecutor to have brought his troubles upon himself from his quarrelsome quest of mischief. ~It was impossible to entertain a reasonsble dout. of such a story, nor was it likely that a man so treatod should have consented, being as he states ‘perfectly sober, to go quietly and unremonstratingly homs upon being bidden by the soldiers to do so.
