THE PITCAIRN Islanders. The population
OF Pitcairn's Island amounts to l40, of whom II
are males, and SO females, and the present chief
magistrate is George Adams, the son of John
Adams, one Of the mutineers of the Bounty. The
island contains about 400 acres OF land, which is
quite capable OF cultivation, and which might
supply 1000 inhabitants, but only 60 acres are in
use that amount being sficient for existing wants.
Formerly, the absence of water, of which there
is not single spring on the island, was found TO
be an insuperable objection to living upon it, but
this is now obviated by the use dwell construct
ed tanks, which enable the residents not only to
collect enough for themselves, but also to supply
the vessels that visit them. The condition OF the
entire community, both as regards Intelligence
and morality, is spoken ofby all visiters in high
terms, and they are likened in their appearance
and in their general arrangements to the inhabi-
tants one Of the better sort of villages in Eng
land. They consider themselves English SUBJ
!ects, and acknowledge no other supremacy or al
legiance.

Or The Taylor organ speaks ofour having "dstor-
ted remark Of his into imaginary insult to Mr. Hud
son That won't do, julius. We have not distorted
the remark-we need not do il, whatever our DISPOSE,
lion. Let us see. The obligations Of the party, to
Charles Hudson, are admitted all hands, They have
eheen repeatedly acknowledged by that organ. With
these obligations resting upon them, they gave him,
the last election 2902 voies out Of aggregate of more
than ten thousand In the face Of this meagre vote, the
organ SYSTEMATICALLY says, chad the wings given full
vote, Charles Hudson would have been elected" We
quote his very words. Are they insult and gross
enc too May not Charles Hudson well reply TO it, in
this wise: "If full vote would have elected me, why
did you not give fulione Had not done enough
for you Had mot stumped The whole District through
spending my time, my money, and my strength for you
Had not sacrificed my political consistency for you
and your cause? Nay, more, had l not sacrificed the
certainty Of election, which mine if had re-
tanned my political integrity? Why, them did you not
elect me- you could Aud, failing do it, why did
you make parade of your ability 10 do it, unless,
it is TO insult to my face, by giving out inlma-
ons to the public, taat there easousfor Withholding
your votes from me, which you do not choose p
So we should reason and so think, and we have no
doubt that Charles Hudson reasons and thinks what,
he may say. Indeed, there is nothing connected
with the election calculated than this 10 wound
sensitive mind. Not that anything proceeding from such
is ntrinsicaLly, of the slightest consequences
1t is only as is the acknowledged and recognized or
gan of the party, that il entitled any consideration
but, as such, and speaking in the and by au,
.hory of the party it is that this grautous Insult derives
its force and point.
