1t was better to pay an extra sUm to Nova | _| Seotia, and thus allay the feeling of resent-- ment which then existed in that Province, than be reduced to the necessity of sending down militia to keep the peace in that pro-- vince, the inhabitants of which were at that time agitating for annexation. The hon. member for Middlesex should not speak about the term given to Nova Sco-- tia, as a charge had been made against him, that while in Halifax '*la: had promised that if be were in powei'he would give them beiter teams. y Mr. MACKENZLE denied it. The ATTORNEY--GENELAL said that | such charges were certainly brought against | him -- With reference to dual representa-- tion he said thataslong as Lower Canada sent its best men into the Dominton Par-- liament so long Ontario should have a right to do the same. Hon. gentlemen | were in the habit of making the charge | against him of being subservient to the | Minister of Justice at Oittawa. He was| subservient to no power on earth, and the | hon. _ genileman _ knew _ he bad | been true to that principle. Three | measures of that Government had been | voted by the Minister at Ottawa. IHe did | not believe it was to the interest of Ontario t | that the (iovernment should not be on j friendly terms with the Government at Ottawa. It would nout be to the interest of the two Provinces that the uafriendly re-- lations should exist between the two Gov-- ernments,but he threw back upon the hon. gentieman the charge that he was subser-- vient to anvy main. The lateness of the hour compels a great abbreviation of the hon gentleman's able remarks. -- He expresses the hope that he _ would leave | behind himn a record -- that -- would l be m pattern for the _ young | politicians of the country (cheers) notwith-- standing the reckless charges made throughout the country by gentlemen op-- posite. The people of Manitoba will say that Ontario is against us, if we are to transfer the consideration of Manitoba af-- fairs into this House. Mr. BLAKE rose to a point of order. He thought it was unfair that an hon. gentle man should s peak on a motion that was on paper, but hadinot becn brought before the House. 'The ATVORNEY--GENERAL--I can go to Halifax on this discussion if I please, and follow the example of gentlemen op-- posite. (Laughter.) We are forsooth to pass judgment on measures before a House emptied by the decisions of judges of nine of its members. Hon. members had been influenced by gross misstatements. The hon. Atty.--Gen. then went on tO refer to ths statement that the elections had been sprung upon the coun-- try. That was not ths case. The Opposition l.ad had the country dotted out | into sections and all their machinery ready lfor the elestion. while he was lying on & [sick bed.
