Mr.. PHI. ROSENSTAND,


Dear Sir
Your article in the st. Croix Avis No. II of
this month, was truly penned, better and more
gentlemaulike, than the semi official, who in the
Avis No. 9, headed with large letters "COM-
MUNICATED". In regard to the contents We
however beg leave to make a few remarks.
You say that it is your "FIRM CONVIC-
TION, that the GOVERNMENT had acted
correctly in instituting an action against the
Editor of the St, Croix Avis, intimatiDg, that
the articles for which the action is instituted
contained high treason.
1t would certainly not be polite of us to ex-
press o doubt Of, that you really and earnestly
mean to say, that the article in question fully
warranted a Criminal proceeding against the
Editor, Mr.. P. Hatchett, but still we ask you:
do YOU really mean, that the furthering of the
wish and the will of His Majesty the King; the
furthering of the wish and the will of the moth
ercountry and of the majority of the inhabitants
of this Island, IS HIGH TREASON? We
NAV agree with you, that the articles were wrong
in form, bad in taste, and abusive and offensive
in words, and that the Editor so far deserved,
punishment Of some kind or another,-but
HIGH TREASON good gracious COM
MON REASON repudiates the idea. We hope
that no other "MEMBER OF THE Gov
ERNMENT" comedies with you, as We other
, 1868-02-18

wise must come to that conclusion, that an uni
versity education is detrimental to common
sense.
You recommend an earnest and sober discus
sion on what is to become of St. Croix when St.
Thomas and st. Johns are ceded to the Ameri-
cans, and you offer, unostentaciously, your own
valuable share in the discussion. Your service
would surely be much appreciated if we had to
solve a kuotty point of law or the like, but in
this question, however momentous, COMMON
SENSE will sufice,-common sense will be
sufficient to dictate a petition to His Majesty
the King, stating the perilous situation of ST.
Croix, if the island is not coded to America
along with St. Thomas and st. Johns. We re-
commend such a petition to be drawn up aUithoat
much ado Of any kind, and the sooner the better,
and we recommend, a copy of it deliverd to
the American Consul, to be forwarded without
delay to Secretary Seward.
We hope that you, Mr.. PHI. RosENsrAND
Fmember of Government" pray, are Mr.. Col
berg and Mr.. Oscar Krause also members Of
Government?) will be firmly convicted that our
advice to the petitioners can be brought in I'M
der the denomination of HIGH TREASON,
and we have the honor to subscribe ourselves as
Your most obi. servts.

My very dear Sir !

My very dear Sir!
Have you studied much of animals It is a
great and important study indeed See, for ex-
ample the FERRET! 1t is true, this animal can
not comb his hair nor can it bring up a cox
comb nor can it step along and say go
dag" YET, as Webster's dictionary tells US 1t
is about IA inches in length, of a pale yellow or
white color, with red eyes. 1t is a native of
Africa but has been domesticated in Europe.
FERRETS are used in catching rabbits, to
drive them out of their holes.
So this Ferret, like the Poor monkey, at
tempted one day to pay the Eagle a visit.
Well! The Eagle being very powerful and
strong, said to him Thou hast said, That the
wanton exchange of birth-right is a miserable
mess of pottage. So, now, let me tell you Fer
ret that [ lived in Freegut myself; that | en-
ioyed some education at the public school, at the
public expense that l took a trip to Copenha-
gen; that when 1 returned, instead of going to
Africa where l belong, l went to the West Indies.
Now, the Eagle, without further consideration
bounced upon the Ferret, and totally destroyed
him leaving this inscription, which he particu-
larly desired should be placed on his coffin

Dear Sir
LIBERALITY of opinion, and freedom of ex-
preston, are now spreading themselves more
and more widely among mankind the theories
of ages, the accumulated errors of a thousand
years, now totter at the touch of reason, and
hourly prejudice hides its wrinkled countenance,
while the scrutinizing genius of modern times,
spurning it's despotic influence, endeavours to
attract the attention of an enlightened world.
If there was a being, who could hesitate one
instant on this question, it would evidently
prove him a slave, and not ashamed of his con-
dition.
Philosophers appear only in those countries
where men exists. Under despotism. there are
none, the greater part are automatans; there are
few beings who think, and still fewer who dare
to make known their thoughts. The motion of
mostminds is pusillanimous and circumspect; and
so great is the secret, insensible influence of
despotism over them, that the free and audacious
fight of genius appears a ridiculous censurable
folly to the most sensible. At that period of
depravity, truth, virtue, genius, national glory
are annihilated.
But where the flight of genius is unconfned,
it rises, deyelopes, and soon overspreads the

TO the Editor Of the ''St. Croix Avis"
Dear Sir,

Lear DIT, 4.-
There are certain traits of human character
which it is said run through families. There is
one such trait which La Pontaine beautifully il
illustrates in his fable of the Bat and the two
Weasels. A laundering bat, having once stuck
his head into the bed of a weasel who had a
prediction for mice, escaped death by plead
ing, that as he had wings he was not a mouse,
but a bird. Some two or three days after, he
choosed for his rest a bed of another weasel.
This one had a fancy for birds, and prepared to,
devour this would-be- bird. But the Bat was
not to be caught so easily. This time he plead
ed that as be had no feathers he could not be a
bird and again he escaped.
"And many a human stranger
Thus turns his coat in danger;
And sings, as suits where'er he goes,
God save the King Or save his foes -
Mr.. 0. Krause, in your last paper, has given
us a little piece of has mind on the subject of the
Governments prosecution against you. As Mr..
Secretary ROsenstand in a previous paper had
broke through the accustomed strangeness of
seeing an article in your paper from ga member
of Government" Mr.. 0. Krause follows his ex-
ample, perhaps, with a view of being mistaken
for another member of Government!
"-Really there is no telling
How much great men set little ones a swelling"
Now, Mr.. Editor, nobody in this community
ever fancled that IL required Mr.. ". hrauSe
opinion to form or mould that of the public.
On the subject of the Governments treatment
of natives and others, who have been long in
their employ, there scarcely exists any diversity
of opinion. My assertion can be proved from
the fact, that when the address to His Excellen-
cy the Governor, on the subject of appointments
and promotions was, some years ago, voted by
the Colonial Council, the mover received a letter
ofthanks signed a by large number of merchants,
planters and others. Mr.. O.. Krause did not
raise his voice then as q champion of West-India-
Governmental liberaIity, and | can assert that
he did not then disapprove of the measure.
But then he was a bird, now, he has no feath-
ers, he is a mouse.
Mr.. 0. Krause commences his TRADE with the
quotation of what he calls an old adage, viz
"'Tis human to err, but only an ass defends his
f%ollies." Most persons will remember that beau
tiful saying "'Tis human to err, but divine to
forgive yet l scarcely think any one except he
who may be able to boast of caribbean descent,
ever remembers such an adage as be has
quoted. Some soils will not aid the gernima-
ton of certain seeds. So also, it appears, is the
case with Mr.. Krause's mind. 1t rejects what
is sublime; but produces what is asinine.
