RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT.
SAM SLICK, IN ENGLAND.
JUST PUBLISHED. IN THE raiLA. COURIER.

y
ment become to-day general topic of
conversation. --.5..
Mister" said mr.. Slick. So quite
concur with you in your idee OF the
form of colonial government. When
was to Windsor, Nova Scotia, a few
years ago. Poulett Thompson was
there, a-waiti,' for steamer to go TO
81. John, New h unswitk: and vas
a-passin' Mr.. WiIcoA's inn. WHO should
| sec but him | knowtd him the
moment seed him, for ] had met Lin
10 london the year before, when he
was only member of P,,rlaimcnt.-
Well as soon as met him, | knowed
him ut once, bat want Il Goin to speak
TO him tusi, seem he lad become a
bis-bug since, and p'raps wouldn't talk
to the likes OF me. Bun up he comes
in a minrt. and makes a low bowie
had very curious bow. 1t was Just
stiff low bend forIard, as a feller does
aiore he goes to take jump; and said
he, How do you do, Mr.. Slitk? VIII
YOU do me the favor TO walk n a while
and set down? want TO talk to you. -
- We are cndoa, orin,' sails he,
/. TO assimiatc matters here as much rs
rossible,to what exists in your country.
SO | sec, says |; but am ashamed
TO say, don't exactly comprehend,
what responsible government is in
color w. WE'LL sails he, it ain t easy
Of dennition. but il will work itself out
and adjust itself in practice. ! have
given them fresh hare to run, and
that is great matter. Their attention
is taken of from old sources of strife,
and fixed on this. ! have broken up
all old parties, shuillcd the cards, and
given them new deal and new part
ners.' Take care, sails j, shat a knavc
doesn't tarn up for trump card He
looked thonghtlully for a moment, and
then sails, very good hit, Mr.. Slick /;
very good hit indeed; and between our
selves, in politics, I'm afraid there arc
everywhere more knavcs than honors
in tho pack ! have often thought Of
that expression SINCE fresh hare to
run;' what principle of action for IA
statesman, wasn't it! But it was just
Ike him; he thought every body he met
was fools. One half of the people to
Canada didn't know what under the
sun he meant; but they know'd he was
radical, and agin all the old English
f.,,si,n, ihp.n Il thnA fol
lowed him. Well, he seed that, and
thought them fools. If he'd lived
lcetle grain longer, he'd found that
they were more rogucs than fools, them
lcllcrs, for they had an axe to grind rs
well rs him. Well, t'othor half said
! lie was schemcr. and a schcmcr too,
that wouldn' stick at nothin to carry
out his ccnds, and they wouldn't have
to him az al. Well, in course, he call
ed them fools, too; ifhc'd a lived IA le-
lie grain longer, guess he'd abound
out whose head the fools cap would
have fitted best. Well sails J, 1T
warnt bad idea. that Of givin 'cm a
fresh hare TO rum it was grand. You
bad notLin' 10 do but 10 STAT the hare,
say. stuboy, clap your hands ever so
loud. and off &c, the whole pack of
yclpin' ours IL bis heels Ike WINK
It's KEEP. them from jumrin.' and iawn-
in. and cry in, aud or"vIn', and PAWN
on on for ever Iastin'. for somctlin' TO
cat, aud bo;h.rin' of you. and a spill
in Of your clothes. don't ii =? You
give I'm the dodge that timr prop Ily,
you got that lc,sin from The j. g'n dog
on the Mississippi. ] guess, didn't you?
No, SCI he, lookin ono half out OF
sorts, and t'othcr half nohsquizzlcd;
No. WAS never there sails hc;'' Not
there, sais /; 'why, you don't say so !
Not ti,rcl we'll; it passes all: for it's
hcidcniical ,ame dodge. Whcr dog
crosses the river there, he goes TO a
% Mt Of Iand ond stretches away out in
tie water, and SITS down OH his bind
leg, and cri 5 at the tip ecnd of his
voirc. most pitcous, and howls so 1T
would make YOUR heart break 10 hear
him. Is the most horrid, dismal, sol
omkolly sound you ever know'd. Well.
hc keeps up thi, tome for tho matter Of
half an hour, tilI the woods ring again.
All the crocolllcs for three miles up,
aRd for three miles down, as soon as
they hear it. run as hard as they can
lick TO the spot, for they are very hu-
name boys, them. cry like women at
