MACDONALD reputed the hon. gentleman bad no right. to ael any memorials, " to question the preroqa as exercised in the apyoinunat ot Greeley. Why did not the hon. gentle bring in a motion to condemn the Go: meat for making tho appointment? As "he (Hon. J. S. Maudonald) w'asconzem tliore had been no correspondence betv tho Government and the parties , represented the difterent nominees for appointment. Mr. WILSON said he sincerely hoped the House would set its face against drinking. (Hcar, hear ) The SPEAKER put the motion, "as adopted. Mr. BLAKE moved an address for copies of all correspondence and memorials as to the filling of the vacancy in the shrievalLy of Prince Edward, to which Mr. Greeley, their member for that county, was uppointe" He said it would he in the recollection of all t' at during the last session a vscsmsy was consul in tho shrim alty of Prince Edward by the death of the titsriif. That vacancy "as not filled for some months; bat at the end of these months his hon. friend opp ositc wasenabled to find a person riualiriet1 to til the office in the person of the moniker for the comstituctrcy, Mr. Greeley. Solong a" the present existing rrrtecn of tt.dtniaistetlsg the Government c.otrejttucy1--mraely, that of giving cilicea to friends of memhors for coun- ties, provided members were on the right side of tho musts--it appeared to him ex- tremely obvious that it Was very o'ojoctloa. able that a member should himself be ap- pointed to any vaeanoy in the constituency. (Hear, hear.) The member was considered in some sort as a trustee of the patronsge of the constituency; but the thing should go further, and it should be made known that a member had not only the right to name the gems: who should fill a vacancy, but that a should also have the right to name himself. There might be some overwhelm, lng ireason why it vacancy should be filled by a. member-some overwhelming ex- fresslon .of public opinion in his "our which a Government could not " ford to disregard, But he (Mr, Blake) had heard that petitions were sent in for the 'ap. ttttee, of other candidates besides Mr. reeley; and such being the case,it was riurht the House should know the ohrwiaiifi'ir, necessity for the aiipoitttutent oPMr. srdriis7,' and the. reasons why the other candidate; were rejected.
