To the Editor Of the "St. CrOix Avis"
Dear Sir,

O$Re SAH
Full credit must be given Mr.. Phi. Ro-
senStand, for the earnestnesS of intention
with which he invited this community,
''earnestIy TO deliberate and discuss what
is 10 become of st. Croix" in the event
of its isolation from the sister islands with
which its interest have been assimilated
for so many years. 1t must be believed,
that he certainly was in real earnest when
he said that, "we all have a right, a duty,
to discuss whether the welfare of our lit
tie island in the future, would be best Sc
cured under a Danish or on American
rule" And, now that the cause Of his
apparent inactivity in the course which he
SO warmly recommended has been given
TO the public, no less credit must be given
him, for his seeming sincerity and attach
ment 10 o cause, in which he needs not in
terest himself loo highly, but the progress
of which, however, he seems to watch
with a becoming and peculiarly impartial
sentiment.
II is not, however, my opinion, nor do
I think or believe it to be the general
opinion of this community, that the sem
timents and wishes of the people of st.
Croix, especially on such an important
subject are best expressed and given vent
to, by the very protracted and slOthful
movements of the Colonial Council.
Whoever has watched the tarday ac-
tons of this body, with any degree Of in
terest for the entire welfare of this island,
must surely have perceived that there has
been steadily and constantly exercise
over it's deliberations and discussions, the

full force and influence of a power, which
has tended to maintain, as it were a ba-
lance Of opinion, conservative in the high
est degree, which no one seems willing to
oppose, however DESTROYS he may be 10 see
q change effected in the present aspect of
things.
Ii will be remembered, that when the
Council first came in vogue, eligibility as
a member was based upon the possession
of those qualifications required for the ex-
erciSe of the elective franchise, irrespec-
tive of Office or employment. AS soon
however, as members were elected from
among men in certain offices, who were
more closely acquainted with the secret
working of our polity,-men who could,
if they would, tell the public what they
ought to know about their own Of
fairs, it vas thought best to get rid of
such from the ranks of onr representatives;
aud in the remodeIIing of the Colonial
Law, it was found highly expedient and
necessary, to introduce a new paragraph,
amending this passage, by excluding all
those who were employed in the Secrc-
tary's, the Book keepers, and the Urea
surer'S office, from seats in the Council
no matter however qualified such men
were, TO represent the interests of those
constituents who were willing to return
them. And why? Because, if they were
returned, and consequently empowered to
speak, it was feared they would speak
TOO much. Was this paragraph not
voted out when the draft was discus
sed in the Colonial Council 7 How then
did it find its way back when the draft
was made Law? Every one knows!
Is a proposal made and adopted in the
Council, for an address to the Governor,
concerning the manner in which Royal
Offices are filled, giving, His Excellency
10 understand, that such appointments are
not viewed with pleasure, how is it met
by this balancing power? 1.-THE Council
must take great care IN promoting "a
proposal, the aim of which was 10 ex-
press a sharp criticism on the manner
in which Royal Offices are filled, for
which the Home Government is RESPONSE
ble." Is a report, in which any things ex-
p~ressive of the general wish of this com
munity to have ST. Croix coded over to
the United States, to be laid before the
Colonial Council for adoption, what is the
call upon the Council "To consider
we'll the term and wording of the report
with regard TO the impression they
may have in reference to the action which
the Government had reluctantly brought
against the editor"

tor, Captain 0. b. johnson, or Col.
A. g. Hodges, of Frankfort, to repre-
sent us, and we promise hearty sup
port to the nominee Of said ConYen-
ton.
ResolUed, That we claim to be a
part Of that great Union party who
sustained and maintained this Gov
ernment through the dark and trying
hours Of the late rebellion, and that
we cannot affiliate, in politics, with
those who talked, worked and fought
against the best Government on
earth, unless we should see some
evidence of repentance for the
past and reformation in the future.
In our opinion the so-called
Democratic party of Kentucky
has given no evidence of this
repentance and reformation, and
therefore we cannot think of
taking position with that party.
The principles advocated and the
men selected for Office by that party
give no satisfaction for the present,
or security for the future; therefore
we announce our adherence to the
great Union party of the country,
who carried US safely through the late
war; and we believe that the welfare
and safety of the country demand that
they should continue to control.

is our first choice for President of the
United States for the next four years.
