To this address Mr.. Field made the following
To the Honorable Egeeutire Cornell Of Newfoundland.
President AND HONORABLE GrSrLEMEN: tlark
your good will. There is, however, nothing new
TO Ire in the present tone OF your good teelnss
Upward Of four seals ago. when rrst laid before
tie Legislature o' this Colony the plan OF uniting the
two contueute by means Of the telegraph, the connu
niosons received your ready couLenance, and 10 the
charter Of incorpoa ion then passed was unioded the
whole view which has nov arrived at its final accom-
p.,shment. The terms CT that charter were liberal
sLd encouraging, but had your coun;sls been guided
by sderent spiit tie project would have been sban-
doned ard years perhaps might have passed without
witnessing this happy union Of the two worlds with tie
bepefcent consequences 1t is destined to dffuss.
The exclusive privileges conferred by the colony on
the New ioik, Newfound and and London Telegraph
Company made her the subed OF severe criticism;
ard Il therefore with satisfaction observe the sp-
proving terms in which you refer TO them. Every
enlightened country recognizes right OF property IN
those who organize work where science or skill or
capital has been invested. This protection IS neces-
new works of public utility, for who would
sow if be could not reap And while tie
Individual has his reward society is the gainsr by
his labor. In the exclusive privileges you hsve con,
copyright only s involved, and think there can now
he 10 doubt that your policy has conduced to the in
teyests of the colony. While orfdenty trust that
the future may be productive of much benefit to your
people from the great work. which from the beginning
TO the present time has had your consistent and liberal
suppor, / shall lock with peculiar pleasure on the
advantages resulting from the proud position OF thie
colony in the te,egrsphc sction OF the New and
views Of advancement by sll the means 10 my power.
