Mr. Willoughby moved (list in the opin. ion of this House it is expedient that the Government should make some suitable re- cognition to the volunteers of 1857-8 for the v \luoble services they rendered in de. fence of their country at that time. He en- deavored to show that legally this matter came within the jurisdiction of the Pro, vince. Mr. Tyrwhitt moved a similar retro. lution in the Commons in 1874. Sir John Macdonald and Mr. Blake then said that it was a matter which belonged exclusively to the Province and that the Dominion could do nothing. In 1886,on Mr. Hickey's reso- lution in the Commons, the same opinion was expressed by Sir John and Mr. Blake. In 1875 the Legislature considered the question and appointed a committee, which awarded the trustees oi the Baldwin family 84.000. The sum of $3,000 was also paid to the heirs of the Montgomery estate. The Legislature therefore reco nised its obliga- tion to these veterans. {he veterans now living are very old, and it is high time that something should be done.

Discontent at the sort of government. they were compelled to submit to was not, to be wondered at. The people in those days really had no part in the government of the county. Respons- ible government, is now cutie the corner- stone of the constitution. The people of that time wanted responsible government, but it was a stranger to the country. The country was governed by an oligarchy. There was indeed a popular Assembly, but the will of the majority did not prevail. The Govoraor and his Council ruled the country. But, the Assembly elected by the people had no head in the government of the day. The Assembly at that time consisted of two to one against the Government of the day, but their will did not prevail. The country was ruled l) the Governor and his obligarehy, who did, not admit the authority ot the Assembly. It was inconceivable how the people of that day could submit to such an intolere le condition of affairs. The conduct of the Liberslpnrty of the day was the essence of mticnce and the very reverse of re- 'c,l'lt,",'.l Petitions and delegates were sent to the home Government to protest against the iatolctable state of turtu'rtr, but there THE FAMILY COMPACT.

OBJECT or THE RESOLUTION. Mr. Gibson (Hamilton)ssid that the mover could not be accused of awaiting on im. moderate tone, but he (Mr. 'ibson) took the same view now as he formerly did. There was no good motive, no good object to be served by introducing such a resolu- tion at this late stage of the period when nothing could be done. The only object could be to reopen old sores and to arouse those anirnotsities which long ago were laid at rest. m did not propose to discuss the general point, at which rebellion was justi- ahle. No one would say that rebellion against oppression would never be J'utstitied.
