TO THE EII.ITOIL OF THE STAR.
:Sllt-The object of ri letter published in the STAR
of last Tuesday., on the disturbances in Sutherland,
seems to be to justify the discontents of the Higblaa-
' ders in a part of that County.
The author does not contend that the people of the
parish cif Kildonan have any right toice4r their farms
against the will of the proprietor; but he puts it as a
question of expediency, whether it be not better that
the military spirit of die Highlanders of Sutherland
should be kept alive, than that the Noble House of
Stafford and Sutherland should have an accession of
.a few hunereds a-year to their rent roll ?
Whoever has witnessed the new arrangements
maitiog in the Sutherland Estate, must know that
their immediate object is not an accession of income,
but the improvement of the country, and of the con-
dition of the tenantry. This cannot be more Cully
proved than by the quotation of a part of a letter from
WILLLAIO YOUNG, Esg. Lo d STAFFORD'S Agent, to
.GEORGE CRANSTOWN, Esq. Shetiff for that Coonty :
" I have often (says
Mr. ) explained to the
inhabitants of Kilddnan and Clyne, who are t' be dis-
possessed at the ensuing ten m, what Lord STAFFORD'S
intentions, were for their atter residence and accom-
modation, . and I beg leave to state them to you, that
neither the people themselves, nor the country in ge.
neral, may have ft in their power to say that oppres-
sive measures were pursued.
" The land; which these people occupy are not
adapted for raising grain, consequently quite unsuit-
able for croftiug. The situation is .ble..k and cold;
-the grain and potatoe crops are attacked e.ther by
early frost 'or land floodi, almost every third year.
In these cases (and they are but too frequent), the.
people are reduced to the utmost. distress, with little
provision for themselves and their cattle. Such land
iv only adapted for the reairng t.f sheep, from the
wool of our manufactur.as find employmer.t,
' and an additOn of food is sent into the kingdom.
klut with thii beneficial change of stock, it never was
Lind STAseoari's in:ention to turn a single individual
out of the Sutherland estate. Fortunately, it admits
of giving the whole (numerous as the population is)
situations, wherein by industry and labour they can
cam a decent subsistence. In the parish of Assyr:t,
one of the most populous in the county, not an indi-
vidual has emigrated, although it has been absolutely
new modelled, and put under sheep stock ; but there
the people are sober and industrious ; their morals
are not corrupted by an illicit teaffic in whisky; they
are either fishers, kelp-makers, or labourers, in all of
which pursuits they obtain ample remuneration for
their services, and live in comfort with about two
acres of arable land each, and a sufficiency of pasture
for two cows and the same number of young cattle,
tor which they pay moderate rents.--. Lord STAF•
FORD'S plan with the people of Kildonan was, to to-
move them to the estates of Armadale,and Strathor,
in the adjoining parish of F6r, coastsidc lands, where
the crops ripen to a certainty, where sea-ware may
be had in abundance for manure, and where tiuch of
the young men as choose to adventure in fishing may
have it in their power to do so, and would hale met
with every encouragement. Each settler would have
had three acres of arable land, with a sufficiency of
pasture to maintain two cows and the same number
of young cattle, and leases of nineteen years would
have been given ; and as in this, as in every other
Highland situation, there are many old and infirm
people, unfit to move into another quarter of the
county, Lord STAFFORD has ordered about 150 acres
of the earliest arable land, near the church of Kildo-
non, to be reserved for this description of persons,
which, with a little pasture adjoining, was to be di-
vided amongst them, and such tradesmen as may
choose to settle there."

, - -

In another paragraph in the same letter Mr. YOUNG
states, that the whole tents of the estate of Suther-
land (about Li 5,000 annually) are laid out by Lord
STAFFORD in improvements, and almost wholly paid
to the it:Witt:nu of the, county for labour ; and that,
besides this, he has several thousand pounds of his
Lordship's in his hands for similar purposes.
After the perusal of this statement, it is, I think,
impossible for an unprejudiced person to censure Lord
and Lady STAFIORD'S views with respect to Suther-
land—they have for their objects the permanent be-
nefit of the county and of the inhabitants. If mere
local prejudices alone are to be attended to, all im-
provement must cease; the peasant would prefer the
right of feeding a few. geese upon a common, to the
acquisition of a cornfield gained by inclosure. Lord
STAFFORD, in adopting a new system for the cultiva-
tion of the Sutherland estate, has, as far as possible,
attended to the feelings of his tenantry; and it is to
be hoped, that the good sense, devoted family attach-
ment, and high spirit of that loyal body of men, will
tinnily awaken them to their true interests. They are
not driven from their country, but may, if it be their
choice, be better and more comfortably settled in it.
They will have only to remove from a spot unf 'your-
' able to labour, to a district which may reward their
industry;—they will remain amongst their native
mountains, quitting only bleak summits for the warm
glen and sheltered plain ;--y-thity wiM give up insecu-
rity, as to the means of subsistence, for ample security;
and probable distress for certain comfort.
It is impossible to discover, why the military ardour
of men should be checked by ameliorating their situa-
tion. On the contrary, nu people are so brave and
invincible as those, who, by their own industry, have
improved their condition, and who love their country
better, because they have scan it flourish in conse-
quence of their own exertions.—l am, Sir,
