" Vol. I.\nYALE, MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1866.\nNo. 21\nTHK GOVERNOR OF NEW WESTMINSTER\nON THE FLOURISHING STATE OF THE\nCOLONY.\nNo part, perhaps, of the notorious dispatch\nfrom \" Rue de la Paix\" to Mr. Cardwell places\nits author in a more damaging light before\nthe public than where it asserts that this\ncolony is in a flourishing state. In the ninth\nparagraph Mr. Seymour says, \" I am prepared\n\" to allow that Victoria is not flourishing. I\n\"MAINTAIN THAT BRITISH COLUMBIA\n\" IS SO.\" Again, in the thirteenth paragraph,\nhis Excellency declares that although a few\nroad-side houses along the wagon road became bankrupt as travel decreased, by diminished immigration and accelerated traveling,\nTHE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE\nCOLONY, UOWEVEK, WAS PROSPEROUS.\nBut the proofs which the writer gires of the\nevidences of pros, erity in the country have\nexcited profound disgust in the minds of the\npeople at the total absence of truth and candor\ndisplayed by his Excellency. Here are the\nproofs given Mr. Cardwell of the prosperous\nstate of the colony. His Excellency says:\n\"The customs' receipts at New Westminster\n\" were, hy the last account which has reached\n\"me, \u00C2\u00A315,000 in excess of the corresponding\n\"period of 1864. I learn that the British\n\" Columbian capital' is making great progress;\n\"houses and wharves, clearing and fencing\n\" going on everywhere.' And the most hope-\n\"lul si nn of all is beginning to show itself:\n\" a disposition on the part of the miners to\n\"purchase land in New Westminster or its\n\" neighborhood, and commence the systematic\n\"colonization of the Lower Fraser.\n\" Wiiile British Columbia is reputed to be\naccounts for 1865 for eight months from the\npublic prevents our sifting Mr. Seymour's\nstatements any closer, but we sre of opinion\nthat wheu the Auditor-General IS ALLOWED\nto enlighten the community by publishing, in\nnis usual clear manner, the audited accounts,\nit will be difficult to reconcile Mr. Seymour's\nassertions with statistical facts. The \"great\nprogress\" in New Westminster that is going\non; \"the housos aud wharves, clearing and\n\" fencing,\" are not even the \" most hopeful\n\" sign\" of the couutry's prosperity, according\nto the author of the dispatch. Oh! no\n\"The miners\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094the bone and sinew of the\ncountry\u00E2\u0080\u0094\" are beginning to buy land in New\n\" Westminster or its neighborhood snd com-\n\" mence the. systematic colonization of the\n\" Lower Fraser.\" We ask our fellow colonists is it possible for any statements to be\nmore opposed to the truth than the foregoing?\nIf Mr. Seymour were the bitter enemy of New\nWestminster, instead of its warmest partisan,\nhe could not have written words of keener or\nmore scathing irony than those referring to its\nprogress I Had he told Mr. Cardwell that the\nplace was fast going to ruin aud decay, tbe\n>.rass growing in the streets, many of its\nhouses untenanted, neither houses going up\nnor wharves being erected, several of its\ntraders become bankrupt and sold out, and\nwithout a wholesale importing merchant\nin the city, his Excellency would have adhered\nto the truth and not misrepresented the actual\nstate of things. Who are the miners, so enamored of the capital as to become proprietors of some of its lots, and where are the\nevidences of the systematic settlement of the\nFraser River lands\" Mr. Seymour's ftrlile\nimagination alone could supply the answer.\nWhy did Mr. Seymour not give the price ot\ntown lots iu his favored city in the beginning\nof this year, and compare it with the price\nruling wheu he made his grand entry into\nthat scene of desolatien and fallen greatness\nwhich he so graphically depicts of the appear\n\" languishing, it may be interesting for me to\n\"mention, though'I write without official' nc,\"\"of the\"c^piu[7t\"th7trme\"his Eicelleiicy\n\"documents, some of the principal publicLMumed the reina of Government? Thv\n\"works which have been accomplished by US 8fBplt reason is, that the result would have\n\"in 1865. A good trail for pack animals has|beeu t0 ihoir a decline of aftT pt.r cent in\n\"been opened from the Fraser to the Koot-iTalue t yVe pitv the ,)eop|, of New Wcst-\n\" enay. The Cascade Range, the Gold R*nge,UJn|Ur to UfjVe such an advocate anywhere\n\"thc Selkirk Range, have been successivelyjM their Governor. It must be tantalizing\nto the utmost extreme to the poor lot-owner*\nof the capital to read the word picture\nwhich he gives of the condition if their town.\nWe do believe that the honest inhabitants of\nNew Westminster have never had their disgust more excited or a deeper crimson brought\nto their cheeks then on reading Mr. Seymour's\ndispatch\u00E2\u0080\u0094unless it was at some of the putrid\nand filthy nutter with which they are semi-\nweekly inflicted in the editorial columns of\nthc British Columbian newspaper. But the\n\"from the seat of Government to Yale, run-lprogpcrity of New Westminster is not all the\n\" ning for upwards of a hundred miles through j Peering evidence of the country's prosperity!\n\" the dense forests of the Lower Fraser. Aj By no nieaI1Si |f wC take Mr. Seymour lor our\n\u00C2\u00AB\u00C2\u00ABbridge has, for the first time been tnrown aiUnority. There is that grand trail to\n\"over Thompson's River, on the main roailjKooUnaT frotl uope. -\yhat hasitnot done?\n\"to the northern mines. Upwards of twenty j.. it goeg jnt0 au important gold mine, opens\n\"thousand pounds have been expended on the | up tne highway through the Kootenay pell\n\"completion ol the high road into Cariboo,\n\" allowing machinery at last to be introduced\n\"into Williams Creek.\n*\" I have endeavored at considerable length\n\" to prove, first, that Union with Vancouver\n\"Island, or the annexation of that colony, is\n\"not desired iu British Columbia; secondly,\n1 that the larger colony is not in a depressed\n\"surmounted. This trail not only runs\n\" through English territory to a gold mine,\n\" but it affords, by the British Kootenay Pais,\n\"an easy access from the Pacific to the Hud-\n\"son's Bay lands beyond the Rocky Moiln-\n\" tains. \nto \u00C2\u00A330 per annum in taxes to the Government; that a quarter of a million dollars\nwere required to pay a staff of officials for a\npopulation of six thousand white people, and\nthat in addition to an immense lo.ui having\nbeen contracted in England during his incumbency,an overdrawn account, incm r-d without\nauthority, with lhe Bank of British Columbia\nof $17(1,000, stood against the colony at thc\nmoment he (Mr. Seymour) was writing his\nfamous, or rather infamous, dispatch; iu fact,\nthat the Government was in a state of financial distress unprecedented in the history of\nthe colony. Had Governor Seymour gone\nfarther, and staled that with itry few exception! the merchants, traders, and hotel-keepers of the colony had broken down and become bankrupt through an accumulation of\ndifficulties, brought on by the insane\npolicy inaugurated by Governor Seymour at\nthe instance of (he New Westiniiis'er lot-\nowueri, he would at least have entitled himself to our respect for truth and bono-', er en\nrt the sssuli bad shown that his tjMcUenoj\nJOB PRINTING!\nCards, Bill Heads, etc., etc.,\nExoiut d at th \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Tumi m* Office at\nMODBBA12 BATES\nW .

Tuesday last was fixed for the excursion, and the Onward being engaged and\nready, a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen of the city and neighborhood, with\ntheir families, assembled at an early hour on\nboard, and steam being up, the whistle\nsounded and the vessel started. The steamer\nsoon glided down the swift flowing Fraser to\nHope, which has become the favorite spot now\nfor pic-nics, and the pleasure seekers soon\nlanded. Messrs. Sutton, Oppenheimer, and\nSteinberger having kindly provided vehicles\nfor carrying the excursionists from the steamboat landing to the banks of the beautiful\nCoquealla, very little time was lost in transferring tho whole company\u00E2\u0080\u0094numbering over\n150\u00E2\u0080\u0094to the spot selected fop-the mid-day ro-\npast.

After lunch several\ngentlemen entertained thecompsny with their\nvocal efforts; Mr. T. J. Atkinson, especially,\ncreated great laughter by his rendering of\nseveral popular cemic songs. The rcnouned\nwizard, the Fakir do Bordeaux, who was\npresent, varied the entertainment by introducing some of his most amusing aud clever\ntricks, which gave great satisfaction. Amusements werc provided for the little folks, and\nthe day was spent in thc most agreeable\nmanner until the proceedings were interrupted\nby the warning note from the steamer to pre-\nadmire the spirit of \" Onward\" progress which\nhas marked his conduct in the face of some\nof the greatest difficulties and dangers which\nNature ever threw down to arrest the tide of\ncivilization and impede the march of commerce.\nLet any ono conversant with the subject\nconsider the strain upon nerve, and brain,\nand physical endurance which the navigation\nof the Eraser, at all seasons of the year, has\nimposed on our gallant captain duriug the\npast six years, we cannot help wondering that\nCaptain Irving holds out and is the rubicund\nand hearty old pioneer we see him to-day.\nPluck, endurance, and a spirit that will never\nsay die, but cries \" we will conquer or perish,\"\nhas made the Auglo-Saxon race what it is today\u00E2\u0080\u0094the leaders in the van of civilization,\nprogress, and Christianity throughout the\nwide world\u00E2\u0080\u0094and in these grand elements of\ntrue national greatness, our friend, Captain\nIrving, is certainly not deficient.\nI would disdain, for the sake of fulsome\nadulation and popularity, saying ono word\nmore than I believe to be warranted by facts;\nbut, I think, in uttering these sentiments, I\nam expressing the unanimous feeling and consent of all this numerous body of respectable\ncitizens of Yale and other places who are\nassembled here to do honor to the occasion.\nIt is more than a mere complimentary excursion which has brought our friends and neighbors from their homes to-day.

All the efforts\nmade to civilize and preserve them appear\nlikely to be in vain. Dr. Featherton, in his\nspeech at Wellington, confirms the idea that\ntheir numbers are'rapidly diminishing; and\nhe says it is \"impossible to avoid their speedy\nextinction.\" Twenty years ago their numbers\nwere estimated at 100,000; \"now,\" says the\ndoctor, \" no one believes they could muster\n40,000 souls, and in twenty years they will be\nreduced to a mere handful.\" It is consolatory\nto think that such a rapid decline in the native\npopulation is not attributable to European\naggression. The numbers who have perished\nin battle, and through the collateral effects of\nwar, are trifling compared with the enormous\nreduction that has taken place. The diminution must be ascribed to other causes. Strze-\nlecki, in writing upon Australian colonization,\nexpresses the opinion that the natives of this\nNew World \" have, wherever the European\nadvances, the sentence of extinction stamped\nindelibly upon their foreheads.\" That opinion\nwas written twenty years ago, and each year\nhad tended to prove its truth. It is not that\ntheir longevity is abridged, but that from\nsome undefined cause, whenever placed side\nby side with Europeans, \" the hearts of the\nnatives, like the wigwams of the American\nIndians, retreat or disappear before the torrent of immigration.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094[Otsgo Times.\nThs Ixdkpxkdent Ordsr of Oddfillowi.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nFroii* the report just published by the Manchester board of directors, it appears that\nthis important society received during the\nyear ended 31st December, 1865, thc large\naccession of 29,744 members, a convincing\nproof of its great utility.
