The Governor, man Of Anown pluck and decis

respectful. He concuo with the wishes Of the

Of Ensl land will hardly tolerate any sctusl cos rcon
Of their fellow subjects in Africa. IL 10 supposed
that + ar Grey will rescind the order Of Council
that has caused this serious Colonial terment, and
So ssy the question for the present.
But it will be obvious TO you that new prob

the difficulty for tina, once granted, criminals must
be sOmsrhere and wherever they are. the logic OF
the difficulty is nearly the same. remember, a
few years ago, what was thoaght TO be most
astounding piece OF nsulsr impudence. The little
island OF Jersey took upon itself to transport a

argued that one sinner more IN England would
not be perceived, whereas one more or lees was
serious consideration for Jersey. Bat Eng and
would not argue the point, and lerried back the
unhappy jsll-bird to the scene OF his naushtine0.
Neither does the Cape argue, but talks OF nothing
but the pollution of new communities, and Of gen
eral experience and fesrs and insists upon the
convicts being taken u the place whence they
came and done with whatever England, their
mother, chooses.
Some of our journals take the tone of msralists
on this occasion. and dwell upon the million and
half sterling that We expended for the Cape In the
Cattle war thereby accusing the Cape of ingrsti-
tude. Beside, say they, what 10 the use OF a col

the proper repositories OF the night soil OF the ad
accent chateau. The feudal system is about to
die, socially IS well as Individually petty races
and nstionaities will no longer be oppressed by
physical force by their more powerful neighbors
they will know how to extort charter OF liberties
from the great countries about them, and AZ
length, by federation they will oppose q success
iul barrier to the old States. The Cape 1t is
! plain, has struck important blow against the
system Of transportation. and the Government
will not only be bold bat rash that endesvors to
| impose 1t hereafter upon any new community.
10 point OF fact the Transportation system 10
fundamentally opposed to the spirit and science
OF the sgs IL belongs 10 old smpletonlsm OF
thought. according 10 which il was supposed that
you get rid of people by sending them away. For
individuals IL seems 10 be SO, and even with In
dlyiduas how difficult 1t 10 10 get rid Of any body
how people, obnoxious or otherwise, WILL keep
recurring 10 in scene after scene, and year ater
year. Every man is like a river, which making
long bends and reaches seems TO leave our track
forever yet presently we cross him again aud
know him by the old water OF the old color. There

with that spirit of economism and sell helping that

and not to be guilty OF the ssrocious mesnness OF
shifting matters that we cannot solve on to the

of finance would dictate this, because We could

taken ia connection with the large migI alton Of
honest persons going on 10 all our colonies and
do not hesitate TO SUM Il up in the position, that

her own 10 any other land Let her bear and cure
her own sores. and not attempt that yilsnous way
