It was also calculated to have an educating effect upon Ontario farmers, and cause the more general adoption among them of the system of mixed farming. In this con-- nection he made a fitting reference to the suc-- cessful labors of the meimber for South Porth (Mr. Ballantyne) whom also he congratulated upon having cleared himself of the charges made against him, and coming out of the con-- troversy with flying colors. (Loud cheers.) THE RIGHTS OF THE rPROvINCER and would continue to assert them. (Cheers.) The Speech promised a number of measures and he doubted not they would be eminently uscful. He made special reference to those re-- lating to police magistrates, and scientific edu-- cation in the schools as to the effects of alcobol and with respect to prison labor. Re-- specting the latter he expressed the hope that the Government that had the courage to grapple with _ this difticult question would do it succesfuily. The Address reminded them of the display made by Ontario--and by the other Provinces --at the great Exhibition in London. That exhibition of our natural products and manu-- Iactures--some of it he supposed, and he was orversy with fiying colors. (Loud cheers.) He expressed himself as glad that it had been decided to erect suitable buildings for the Parliament and public departments of _ Ontario. _ He -- was ready, and hc believed they all were, having gone before their education, philanthropy, and constitutional freedom. In the case of'ada. and in those of other colonies, Her® Majesty's reign had given counstitutional and --responsible Government. (Cheers.) Canada and other dependencies had risen from i state of almost complete lack of development to that of a nation--a young nation, in the case of the Do-- minion, but a vigorous and hopeful one. (Cheers.) Me trusted, and he knew ail would join with him, that before their labors closed during the present session, this Legislature would g.ve formal expression to the scatiments of true loyalty and devotion with which Her Majesty was regarded, that they would join in rejoicing over her attainment of the 50th year of her reign, and would express the hope that under the blessing of Divine providence that reign which had been so beneficent would be still further prolonged. (Loud cheers.) On the next subject touched upon in the Speech his words must be those of regrct. 1c ap-- peared that the CGGovernment at OQttawa had failed, notwithstanding requests froin the Gov-- ernment of the Province, to take the necessary steps to give effect to the Privy Council's de-- cision in relation to the boundaries of the Province, He supposed that Ontario's commu-- nications had been treated as those of the Halfbreeds had been, (Cheers. ) 1f the present Government were sustained, a consummation for which he did not devoutly wish--(hear, hear, and laughter)-- be trusted ithat as the present Provincial Administration spoke the sentiments of the Province with greater emphasis thin ever, by reason of its increased majority, they would succeed in secaring attention to the rights of the Province. (Cheers.) He hboped also that the CGovernment's action would have the sup-- port of both sides of the House. _ Respecting the litigation now pending as to the lands anid L¥ a £ T . & 6 tiimnber in the disputed tu?rit;)x'y, they had to congratulate the Government upou its success in the courts so far as the case hwdl gone, and one reason which caused the Government to be returned by a greater majority than before was that the people knew it had defended "lm"" constituents, to support any reasonable outlay . :el(::;e for this purpose, .
