FREDERICTION, NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 21.

The people of New Brunswick are justly proud
of their beautiful river, the broad bosom of which
forms the pleasantest, as well as rapidest, means of
communication between the thriving port of St.
John and the city of Fredericton, the seat of their
Government and Legislature. Beyond Fredericton,
up to its sources in the foreign State of Maine, the
St. John traverses a rich and picturesque, but only
partially settled country. Travellers who make
their way from Riviere du Loup, the present ter-
minus of the Grand Trunk Railway, direct throngh
the country to Fredericton, speak favourably of the
beauty of the scenery, the excellence of the road,
the goodness of the post-horses, and the comfort of
the little inns that stand at intervals of 40 or 50
miles apart, and strongly recommend all to whom
neither time nor expense is an object, to take this
route from Canada to St. John, instead of branch-
ing off to Portland by the Grand Trunk. Not hav-
ing made the land journey, I am unable to speak of
its advantages ; but having taken the quicker route
by Portland and the sea, I can conscientiously state
that its comparative speediness is dearly purchased
by a host of discomforts and inconveniences. From
St. John to Fredericton, a distance of 65 miles by
the post road and 85 by the river, the scenery is one
long succession of changeful beauty. The narrow
gorge between bold precipitous rocks, the spreading
lakes, lovely as Windermere, or grand as Loch Awe,
the level stretch of cultivated farms, the numerous
greenislands
grass, crovesrs, e d
yielding to the depth of four or five
feet by the spring time floods, but green in summer
with waving and • lding more luxuriant
crops of hay than are to be gathered anywhere else
on the North American continent, follow in kaleido-
scopic variety, as the steamer ascends the river, and
impress the mind of the traveller not alone with the
ideas naturally inspired by physical beauty, but

with those derivable from the present or prospective
the Mil-
licete Indians, the aborigines of the country, it was
called the Awollostook, or " Big River ;" by the
Micmacs, another Indian tribe, speaking a different
language, it was called the Guangonda, also meaning
the " Big River ;" and by the Abenaquis, a third
tribe, the Loshtook, or " Long River." To the first
French discoverers it was only known as the River
of the Great Bay (the Bay of Fundy), and from
the noted French sea-captain, the Sieur de Monts,
who re-discovered it on the 24th of June, 1604, the
festival of St. John the Baptist, it received its pre-
sent name. It has two series of falls—one 1254
miles above Fredericton, and the other within two
miles of the mouth of the harbour or St. John. The
latter is one of the most remarkable objects in North
America, presenting at low water a magnificent
torrent, second only in grandeur and turbulence to
the accumulated
rrdursinofg3oo miles through
rwugpae into the sea, and at high
tegotoaffall,

tidal flow of the Bay of Fundy—which rises at St.
John to a height of 28 feet--a sea cataract which
sends back the fresh waters, and forms a tidal rapid
of singular beauty, over which for 10 or 15 minutes
at every tide the smaller vessels in the harbour of
St. John are enabled to make their way up the
stream.
Fredericton is a small town of between 5,000 and
6,000 inhabitants. It contains a handsome Cathe-
dral, and a not very handsome government house,
barracks, and House of Assembly. It also contains
a university, with three professors and an average
of about 30 students. In the absence of the Hon.
Arthur Gordon, who is now in England, the affairs
of the province are administered by Colonel J. A.
Cole, of the 15th Regiment, who has commanded
the British forces in the colony since the reinforce-
ment of 1861-2 was rendered necessary by the
threatening aspect of affairs consequent upon the
seizure of Messrs. Slidell and Mason on board of
the Trent by the blundering zeal of Commander
Wilkes. When Fredericton was fixed upon as the
seat of the Anglican Bishop, the name of the
" Celestial City" was given to it ironically by the
people of St. John, and the name is still employed
by all who would ridicule or disparage its preten-
sions, and who think St. John ought to have been
the ecclesiastical as well as political capital of the
province. It appears that the Protestant prelate
had no sooner assumed the comparatively obscure

and unknown title of Bishop of Fredericton, than
the Roman Catholics, aware of the value of a name,
made their prelate the Bishop of St. John. It is
alleged by those who deplore the influence of the
Irish Roman Catholics in the elections of the city
and county of St. John, that the Anglo-Saxon and
Protestant colonists committed a political mistake in
this matter, and gave the Irish Roman Catholics an
advantage in electing members to the House of As-
sembly, which it was not desirable, either for Impe-
rial or Provincial purposes, that they should enjoy.
As observed in my previous letter from St. John,
the actual House of Assembly was elected after an
appeal to the country at the close of last year, on
the question of Confederation, and contains a ma-
jority against that measure. The opinion at Frede-
ricton is that that majority is wholly due to the
Irish vote at St. John, and that public sentiment
in regard to the question has been so greatly
strengthened by the wish of the Imperial Govern-
ment, made known through the Colonial-office, sub-
sequent to that election, that were the present house
to be dissolved and a new appeal made to the coun-
try on the same issue, the former verdict would be
reversed. It is not to be supposed that there is no
opposition to the scheme in the provincial capital.
On the contrary, the opposition is very consider-
able, both in talent and in numbers. Few of the
disputants, however, go to the root of the contro-
versy, or presume to say that Confederation would
not be to the advantage of all the Provinces, pro-
vided more equitable terms could be agreed upon
than those adopted by the Conference at Quebec.
The New Brunswickers, like all, or most, of the
British North American colonists, would like
to enjoy liberty and good government without pay-
ing any other price for them than such as they could
find means to afford out of the produce of the Cus-
toms' duties imposed upon foreign and British manu-
factures. They refuse to put their hands into their
pockets to pay the slightest direct tax, and the
most trifling local rate drives them into simulated
paroxysms of fear or fury lest it should be only the
prelude to further exactions sufficient to crush their
energies and exhaust their resources. In addition
to this the people of New Brunswick are, or affect
to be, smitten with an ineradicable distrust or
jealousy of Canada, and to entertain the idea that
in the scheme of Confederation they are to be made
to play the undignified part of a cat's-paw to rescue
that country from its difficulties. The following
document, which was largely circulated in the dis-
trict of Fredericton at the last election, gives a fuller
and more correct view of the arguments, if such
they may be called, of the anti-Confederate party
than any which I would hope to convey by abstract
or summary. It betrays a vast amount of ignorance
as well as of misstatement and prejudice, but may
be taken as a fair sample of the reasoning on which
the opponents of a union of the Provinces rely to
defeat the election to the Legislature of the friends
of that measure. The Confederation candidates for
the county of York, in which Fredericton is situated,
were Messrs. Fisher, Dow, and Street, and the Anti-
Confederation candidates were Messrs. Hatheway
and Allen (both members of the present Adminis-
tration), Mr. Needham (the Mayor of Fredericton),
and Mr. J. J. Fraser (an attorney and barrister in
' the city). The Anti-Confederates, or " Anti's," as
they are called for shortness, appealed to the elec-
tors in the following terms :
" Follow Citizens, —You are called upon to-day to
select four mon to represent your interests and wishes in
the General Assembly of this Province. I would now ask
you seriously whether you wish to have a direct tax placed
on every horse, cow, ox, sheep, plough, harrow, fork, rake,
hoe, and other articles in and around your farms ? Do you
wish to pay for a railroad to run by the north shore ? Do
yeu wish to pay 45 millions of money for Canadian canals ?
Do you wish that your young men should be sent to Canada
as soldiers to fight Canada's battles ? Do you wish Canada
oats, beef, pork, butter, &c., to come into this country at
one-half the price you are now receiving ? Do you wish
the whole revenue of New Brunswick to be handled by
dishonest statesmen in Canada ? If you wish all these
things,e

will you get in return ? Mr. Fisher as Governor of ono of
t
d
ee
the Lower Provinces, Mr. Street as a Judge, and Dr. Dow
to some other fat office. This, my friends, is all you can
possibly expect. Are we in New Brunwick not a happy
baFopyonuflrojeftusdhlolgiegerneniriceiving any return
for Ilatheway, Allen, Needham,
pledged themselves to opposo this doubly accursed Confe-
deration ; this lying, swindling, Sabbath-breaking scheme.
They have pledged themselves to maintain our present
rights and freedom, our revenues and our young men. We
are now happy and united. Let us remain so ; and beware
of those who would drive us into annexation with so cor-
rupt a colony as Canada."
These and other arguments and misstatements
ludicrously like what might have been expected at
Eatanswill or Little Pedlington, but utterly un-
worthy of the importance of the questions involved
or the dignity of a colony like N ew Brunswick, pre-
vailed
with the " free and enlightened " electors.
The " Anti's" were elected, and two of them became
members of the Administration which superseded
that of Mr. Tilley. The dislike to Canada mani-
fested in the document is not, however, peculiar to
the people of York, but prevails largely in the mari-
time provinces. Some who condemn but strive to
explain the feeling allege that it takes its rise in the
idea that the Upper Canadians are at heart Yankees,
not truly loyal to the British Crown, but desirous of
ultimate annexation to the United States ; that a
union with the Lower Canadians would be as great
a source of trouble to the whole Confederation as is
has proved to the English speaking population of
the upper province, and that, independently of those
considerations, Canadian statesmen—corrupt or not,
as events might prove—would monopolise all the
richest offices in the gift of the Confederation, and
oust the placehoiders of New Brunswick from the
situations that would be conferred upon them, had
their own Legislature the exclusive power to appoint
them.

Beyond the consideration of this question, and the
passage of a series of resolutions adverse to Confede-
ration, it does not appear that the Legislature of New
Brunswick had much work to do in the session
which commenced on April 27 and closed on June
8 last. The greater portion of the published de-
bates is more suggestive of the discussions of a small
parochial vestry than of a Parliament—though
amusingly illustrative of the state of society in the
provinces, and of the very small matters on which
the legislative intellect delights to display itself.
On the second day of the session a very animated
discussion took place on the heinous extravagance
of the house and the Government in paying a sum
amounting to upwards of £2OO during the session
for coach hire for the use of members in going to
and fro between the House of Assembly and the
Governor's residence. One honourable representa-
tive, in asking for information on the subject, said
he sometimes saw as many as six or seven coaches
at the door, all paid for by the sweat of the people's
brow, and not by the members using them. The
Speaker having replied that he knew nothing of the
matter, another honourable representative of the
people's brow" declared that the weather was fine,
the streets in good order, and the Treasury low,
and that, all things considered, it would be better
for the members to walk, instead of enjoying the
luxury of a ride at the public expense. Ile had no
objection to the employment of one coach, or two
at the utmost—but as for seven, the thing was an
abomination. A thirdrepresentative openly accused
honourable members of using the coaches to take
ladies to evening parties, or to church, instead of
going to Government House. Wetmore ex-
pressed his firm conviction that the four dollars a
day paid to members were quite enough to pay their
hotel bills and coach hire. A Mr. Lydsay said that
if the streets of Fredericton were like the roads in
the backwoods, where a horse could hardly "wallow"
through the mud, there might be some excuse for
paying the coach hire of the members ; but this was

not the case. The members ought to walk,'especially
members of the Government, who received £6OO
per annum of the public money. Another member
proposed to settle all differences by having an om-
nibus. To this it was objected that the Ministe-
rialists and the Opposition could not be expected to
ride in one vehicle. Another and more practical
disputant said that the simplest, best, and cheapest
mode was to abolish the coaches altogether, and re-
quest his Excellency the Governor to walk—or to
ride at his own expense, if he preferred riding—
down to the house every day of the session, and
there wait in an ante-roomfrom 11 to 12 o'clock that
members might present their addresses without the
trouble of " hunting him up." A Mr. Hill solemnly
averred that this was not a question of funds, but of
principle, and that he knew of no evil which so
seriously affected the country, or about which there
were so many complaints from the people, as this of
coach hire. Mr. Needham, the Mayor of Frede-
ricton, ridiculed such miserable economy. If they
wanted to be so very stingy, why did they order the
purchase of a new gown for the Speaker ? (Here
an unknown member interrupted, " Because the old
one was worn out.") "So," replied Mr. Needham,
amid loud laughter, " was the old Speaker."
" Then," he continued, " there was the Sergeant-at-
Arms. Why not abolish him to save the expense?
The Sergeant-at-Arms was no terror to honourable
members, and might well be dispensed with. Then,
again, there was the messenger. Why could not
honourable members carry their own letters and buy
their own stationery and sealing-wax ? As to the
idea that the representative of her Majesty should
come down to the house whenever the members had
an address to present, it was absurd nonsense."
Here the proposer of this indignity to his Excel-
lency inquired why, if it were nonsense, the Go-
vernor of Canada should come down to the house.
Mr. Needham was ready with a crushing reply :
" Why do they do so in Canada? Why did theyrebel
in Canada? If they had a rebellion in Canada, was
that a reason why there should be a rebellion in New
Brunswick? We are not compelled to do as Canada
does just yet, though the friends of Confederation are
trying hard to get us to." It is difficult to say how
long these portentous discussions would have lasted,
and into what high political inquiries they would
have branched off, had they not been interruptedby
the usual hour of adjournment. As the subject was
not resumed during the session, it may be presumed
that the members rode as usual to confer with his
Excellency, or took their wives and daughters to
evening parties at the public expense, oblivious of
their duty to their constituencies and of the best in-
terests of their imperilled country.
A more important, though scarcely so amusing,
debate took place on the subject of the proposed
bounty for the killing of the bears by which the re-
moter districts of the colony are infested. This year,
in consequence of the paucity of berries and other
wild fruits on which these animals principally sub-
sist, they have ventured down into the settled coun-
try in greater numbers than was ever before known,
and, driven by hunger, have made sad havoc in the
sheep folds and poultry yards of the colonists. After
a long andanimated discussion, in which many curi-
ous facts with regard to these animals were elicited,
it

of the snout or jaw, the said snout or jaw to show
the molar teeth, and the person claiming the bounty
to swear that he himself had killed it. Since this
law came into operation in May last, the bounty
has been claimed and paid in nearly 500 cases.
There was formerly a similar bounty for the killing
of wolves ; but although wolves in the province are
more destructive than the bears, frequently killing
whole flocks of sheep in a night, by biting their
throats and drinking their blood, it was considered
that the universal repugnance felt to these animals
was quite sufficient inducement, without the offer
of bounty money, to insure their destruction
wherever they became troublesome. This is not
the first time that the Bear Bounty has been autho-
rised in the province. Prior to the year 1850 a law
was in force by which a bounty of $3 was paid
to every person who produced the snout of a bear
and made oath before a magistrate that he had
slain it. The bounty was for the most part claimed
by the Indians, of whom about 1,100 remain in the
province. On investigation it was discovered that
a large proportion of the snouts were made of
caoutchouc and gutta-percha, and were expressly
manufactured to defraud the Government of New
Brunswick by the unscrupulous Yankees in Maine,
who sold them to the Indians at half a dollar each.
To prevent this fraud it was provided that the
upper and lower jaws should be produced, and
should contain the molar teeth of the animal slain.
Yankee ingenuity has not been able to manufacture
a spurious article sufficiently natural in appearance
to deceive even a backwoods' justice of the peace,
and the consequence is that every snout truly re-
presents a dead bear, though the bear is quite as
frequently killed in the Yankee State of Maine,
where there is no Bear Bounty, as in the province
of New Brunswick. The measure this year was not
passed without strenuous opposition, it being urged
that in the case of the bears, as in that of the wolves,
the farmers needed no inducement to destroy them;
that the true way to get rid of the pest was to use
the axe in the wilderness, and to promote the
building of the Inter-Colonial Railway, and other-
wise by highways and byways to open up the
country. One of the most singular arguments by
which the measure was supported was that the
white people owed something to the sad remnant of
the aboriginal Micmacs and Millicetes who had
been gradually exterminated by the progress of
civilization, and that the bounty paid to the Indian
hunters, though small, was a just contribution to
the necessities of an ill-treated and fast diminishing
race.
