VancOuver's Island.
VICTORIA, V. l.,
January, 1854.
Ian i plsase uour Ercellsncn:

0. January, 1854.
May il please your Ercellsncy:
L. We, the undersigned, holding landed
property, qF otherwise interested in the
welfare Of the colony Of which you are 90
vernon, beg leave to protest against the te
nor Of petition recently addressed to yor
and praying you to annul the appointment
Of David Cameron, Esq, as judge pro TEN
Of court Of equity at Victoria.
2. We believe that but few Of the sub
scribers to that petition have property al
stake on the Island, that persons were in
stigated to sign it without having any grie.
vance to complain Of, Of whom, not few
were absolutely unacquainted with the sub
stance Of the petition they signed.
3. Weare convinced that you, with the
advice Of the Council, made the appoint
ment in question, because you considered
the institution Of the Office indispensable
and because you felt as we do, that David
Cameron, Esq, gentleman Of business
habits, and considerable colonial expert
ence, was the 6ttest man here, Of those not
already professionally occupied, to preside
n such q court.
4. If that gentleman had committed
any injustice we presume as matter oI
course, an appeal to the Governor and
Council would have met with proper atten'
tionj but so short was bis tenure Of Office
previous to the date Of that petition, that
be has had no equity cases to adjudicate
upon, which circumstance alone must stamp
the proceedings Of the former petitioners
as ill-advised, and hasty in the extreme.
8, We are further Of opinion that il, in
this colony, where there is perfect freedom
where life and property are as yet Sc
cure, where the market is so extensive, and
remunerative, and where the produce is SC
lamentably small, the laboring classes were
to employ their time more in raising wheat
and potatoes, constructing houses to live
IN, &C, and suffer themselves less 10 be led
away into discussions upon abstract politi
cal questions, all would gain by the altera
ton; progress because more decided, and
foreigners and visitors, whose good opinion
we respect would say more for our common
sense ra. r
6. II the unreasonable clamors Of few
individuals, who have little or no vested
interest in the island, were found effectua
to rescind important enactments framed
expressly to protect property, we feel thai
law and order would be in jeopardy, anC
therefore sincerely hope, that no persona
feeling may induce David Cameron, Esq.
to resign the duties Of on Office for which
We are satisfied he will do his best to exer
else forlthe benefit of all. g f
T. Wishing your Excellency continued
health and strength to govern with you
usual fOrbearance and moderation, anC
with hrmuess and vigor when you are o
opinion that the interests of the colony re
quire it, We beg leave to subscribe our
selves with due respect to your person ant
Office Your most Ub't servants.
Here follow "a signatures 20 Of Cana
disns, and marks.

And how is this? Why, it arises partly
from the system of reservation of lands
that obtained so long, and partly from the
feeling OF insecurity-the feeling Of there
being no fair prospect for industry, for the
realization of vested property that Justly
prevails to SO wide an extent in Consequence
OF this very system-that these petitioners
solemnly uphold this very system, that pro-
duces such natural fruits as this illegal, this
shameful appointment. -...- Z o..
AS to the propriety Of abstract politi-
cal discussions" you well know that It is of
very little use to bnild houses, to plant
potatoes, to SOW wheat, and have the pro-
duce OF your colony at the mercy os par
It'al, and incompetent Judge. Those men,
who are best versed in Habstract political
discussions, if honest, are the industrious
mans best friends-they secure to him the
proceeds Of his labors-they protect him,
and enable him to SOW and reap in peace.
After what has been said upon the other
articles, l will leave you to judge for your
selves whether opposition the most nm
shrinking to such an appointment as this
is unreasonable. l leave It tc you to Judge
whether it is Of any use to call 1t clamorl
You, yourselves, know whether those who
oppose i may Justly be called fen. You
know whether or not you are ever likely to
have any vested interests if such courts are
allowed to take root. As to the appoint
ment being made to protect property, II is
easy enough to assert 1t, but we do not be-
lieve it | believe that this appointment
50 far from securing law and order, places
them and our safety in jeopardy. Asto
the winding upof the cause, awe ere sat
isfied that he will do his best to exercise
the duties Of his Office for the benefit of nH.p
would suggest that a few of the individ-
uals, Yhose names head the list Of epprov-
ers Of Mr. Cameron, might have materially
corrected this phrase by adding two words,
and thus saying "aH of us.n Tqqsu b nj
Wishing you generally, my fellow colo
nists, the happiness TO escape from the
threatening tolls Of so portentous an ap-
pointment, and trusting that You will never
rest, that you willleave no stone unturned
so long as this illegal, this jobbing, this i'll
advised and hasty appointment exists, and
feeling assured that SO acting you must,
since you have rights, law and Justice on
your side, at last succeed. I remain ever
Watchful for your best interests. aay

Is An attempt-a shameless and audacious
attempt-has lately been made toride over
your rights and liberties rough-shod A
stranger lately come among us, very
near connexion Of the Governor, was made
q magistrate. He very soon showed his
disposition to dictate to other magistrates,
and reduce them to the position of mere
cyphers. But they, to the credit of the
country where they were brought up,
spurned to be mere tools. A case soon
arose in which this man-this fellow-(for
who that has witnessed his conduct can
speak Of him in terms Of respect y thought
he had it in his power to hold up two Of
bis brother magistrates to public scorn and
contempt, and by o monstrous perversion
ofjustice, screen an actual cplprit, and ruin,
by attacking as felOHs and c5Hf qtors, and
If possible, obtaining their ett3iction as
such, persons who, if he were not wilfully
blind or q hopeless idiot, be must have
known to be innocent. You, fellow-colo-
nists are not ignorant Of these transac-

Governor wise,

More than twenty years have elapsed
since the appearance Of Henry A. Wise,
in the arena Of Politics, which happened.
after this fashion: Mr.. Richard Coke, who
had for four years Represented, In. Congress
the Accomac District, Virginia. as q repub-
liean Of the originally Crawford, then
jackson school, had been gradually aliena-
ted and estranged by Gen. Jackson's quar-
rel with Calhoun and attachment to Van
Buren, by the extreme, centralizing, doe
trines of the proclamation against South
Carolinas pullifying attitude written by
Edward Livingston, but adopted, signed
and issued by Gen. Jackson, and bF' the
violent eagemess of old Hickory TO push
matters to extremes with Calhoun, and his
followers and have them hung under the
Force bill. Old-fashioned people, like Mr..
Coke, are not ninnblein turning short cor
ners, and i puzzled him to see how a pres.
ident who had petted Notification in the
abstract and praised Hayne'= speeches Of
1899 in his ilI-starred controversy with
Webster as enibodying the true Democrat
ic State Rights doctrine, could now affirm
the exactly opposite doctrines Of the Proc
lamation and be so fierce for hanging Cal
houn, McDuf6e 4 Co. for acting in consis-
tency with the so-lately commended doc
trines Of Hayne. So Mr.. Coke, with many
like him, gradually fell of from Ja=ksouism
and, without making any change IN hispro-
fessions, became identified in feeling with
the Southern Opposition which finally crys-
talized into q support Of Judge Hugh D..
White Of Tennessee, for President ID 1888.
bal Now 1881 came forward HenryeA.
Wise, as ayoung rpalRdin Of White House
Democracy ip opposition to Mr.. Coke's
reelection. He harangued the people
throughout the District, accusing Mr.. Coke
Of disadection toward the President and
disloyalty to heparty, and exhorting the
electors to repair the breach in the Demo
cratic bulwark by sending him to Congress
in Coke's stead (The Democracy, by the
way, Of this part Of Virginia is rather Pc
culiar, since the Accornac District wasA
stronghold Of Washingtonian Federalism;
Mr.. Coke himself, Mr.. Wise's father, and
Gen. Thomas H. Bayly, If we mistake not,
having all been staneh Federalists in the
olden time, but the most ultra Of State
Rights Democrats under the new dispen-
sation.) Mr.. Wise's vigorous eloquence
prevailed, and he was chosen to congress.
Mr.. Coke took personal offense at some
thing said by Mr. Wise during the canvass,
challenged him to duel, and received sat
isfaction in the shape Of broken arm,
shivered by Wise's bullet. With that me-
mento, be sank quietly into retirement, and
after few years died. ID .-. q. .si-g,
