inis lion house when there was question ofa job and whose patriotism is only aroised when infor mation is proposed o be sought for on a subject having the closest possible atttuity with our rights and our liberties hut is said continued mr mck that little or no interest is felt regarding if beyond the walls of this house- the fallacy of this state ment may be easily detected in the circumstance that he mr mck after his repeated expulsions was repeatedly returned by the independent con stituency of this large wealthy and populous coun ty he was five times returned to represent them notwithstanding the indignities by which he was as sailed and was not thus alone he would ask an unequivocal demonstration that the people felt as they must ever feci as long as one f park of liberty remains to animate them deeply interested in sub jects like this that have relation to the vitality of their civil rights and social happiness to say that the people feel no interest in such a subject is an unpardonable insult on their understanding but this was not the only point he had to urge to she the excitement created by the event on which the motion for the address is founded he would be glad to know why it was that lord godericli was induced to dismiss from office messrs boulton and hagerman had this circumstance no connexion whatever with his mr mcttv expulsion or what new light had flashed upon his lordships mind to lead him to consent to their reinstatement in power the bearing of these interrogatories would become apparent by the production of the documents refened to in the address under con sideration but whether this address be acceded to or not 1 will not hesitate to state that these two lawofficers of the crown had to retract their own statements and eat their own words if this can be contradicted let ii be done by the production of papers which alone will satisfy the public mind that mr hagerman was not a he states turned out of office if he have it in ilia power to sup port his statement 1 do hereby publicly call upon him to do so by voting for the motion if he de cline this invitation the public will not fail to ascribe it to itsjust and proper cause the learned gentle man states that he was not dismissed from office why then did he address a letter to the bolonial office downingstreet stating his reasons against his dismissal when he mr mck received a number of the christian guardian containing the report of a certain dchate which he would not now dwell upon ho shewed it to lord howick and mr stevens and was requested to state in writing his objections against their holding office this he did and both lord goderich and lotd howick were perfectly satisfia lord howick stated to him mr m tk arc satisfied we have turned them both off vet mr hagermau states that he was not dismissed little did that amiable nobleman lord iodcrich expect the language which was made use of to traduce him by the organs of thee very persons who hid been lor years before and are now again eating the bread of their sovereign here mr mackenzie read an abusive article respecting lord lodrreh from the courier news paper and yet this solicitorgeneral would walk down from his lord v mansion on the occasion of the late municipal elections and record his vote for his friend of mind eye notoriety mr g gurneti who called lord iodjnch his majestys principal secretary of state ax ass when mr egerton kyerson came to england he mr mck got him introduced to mr stanley then colonial secretary and immediately after the statements affecting the conduct of these law of ficers were said to llave been exaggerated and they were restored bytheinfluruce of intrigue falsehood yet i stand up in ibis hon assembly to state that these statements were not only positively correct as far as they went but that they fell far short oi the extent of the rerlity the individual principal ly interested in this serious accusation has an op portunity of defending himself if he can as to requsite do- to refer to a tne practicability of obiaiuiug the cuments hemr mck begged leave message from sir p maitland in which it was stated that it had become the practice to give all auch information when required sir j colborne may be advised to deviate from this practice as a piece of vulgar absurdity but sir james murry were he here would not yield to such sinister in fluence he was an honest and manly gentleman and would not turn to the right or to the left from the narrow course of what he conceived to be his du ty 0 coiwlit a miserable and rnrrupt expediency in mr christie case nil the documents called tot were unhesitatingly laid before the assembly o lower canada and no sufficient reason can be al leged why the same should not he done in the pre sent instance also he mr mck was not ignor ant that it was too often the practice ot our colonial government to send home false statements regard ing the members in opposition in this house and that certain hon gentlemen whose characters were superior to reproach had been traduced and villified with unsparing severity such for example as the hongentlemin who fills the chair of this assembly capl mathews and mr beardcsly now of iv brunswick were not these gentleman denounced an an unprincipled faction a baud of conspira tors here mr mck- read some extracts from the public journals he confessed that he was most anxious that every documeni bearing in this subject should be produced not would he be de terred from pursuing this inquiry by the manceu- cy the lieutenant governor he however conside red that no statement elicited in the heat of de bate ought to be used as an argument for the en quiry if all the documents acre obtained what thuni would he done- would it he said that messrs boulton and hagcrtnan were restored to office on false pretences he believed that his majestys government wore perfectly satisfied with these gen tlemen he would ask was it to be brought for ward against mr hagennan that he voted accor ding to his best judgement on the question of mr mackenzies expulsion as the representative ofthe people of kingston he mr mclean cared not what may be the opinion of hia majestys govern ment he would always vote according to the dictates of his conscience the hon member for the second riding indulged in reflections on the government not connected with tie ques tion and he would not therefore answer them he believed the motion was made not in the proper spirit of inquiry but to suit the discreditable purpo ses of the movers mr perry said it had been remarked that the ad dress had been brought forward too early in the ses sion and that it should not be entertained before the speech from the throne the latter part of this objection was easily answered it need nut be pre sented to his excellency until the speech was final ly disposed of the former part it wiis not neces sary for him to dwell upon there should be fco procrastination on questions of public interest and this he believed to be one of that class it was also stated by an honorable member that every thing re lating to the expulsions of the hon member for the 2d riding ofthe county should be expunged from the journals but he mr p was not aware how this could be effected except by the regular way of motion but it appears a motion was likely to be made for expunging those resolutions and the hon gentleman from haldimand said he would vote for it bat this was just like all his pledges and ofthe same character as his general conduct on the floor of that house another hon member said that it wasuf no importance whether the hon and learned solicitor general had or had not told a falsehood he mr p thought very differently it was a matter of great importance and for the honor of the house he hoped it would be clearly ascertained that no one of its members was capable of such un pardonable impropriety he mr p had not rea son to be pleased with mr h v conduct upon many occasions but more especially on that ofthe recent election for lenox addingtou on that occa sion whilst he threatened him mr p with his ovtrwhthning influence he acted the threefold part of demagogue agitator and merryandrew du ring the day spent there he was seen he his majes tys solicitor general was seen walking up to the hustings arminarm with intoxicated voters whis pering in their ears when about to give votes and then hurraing as became one filling a high office under the crown when the elector had recorded his vote in favor of mr cartwright under the influence of whiskey and deceit on one occasion he smart ed under the infliction of disappointment he brought up a man on whose vote he calculated with certain ty but to his honor be it said that his suffrage could not be purchased with whiskey or the learned so- llchor praiseworthy condescension yet he thought he should discard every prejudice from his mind and give him as far as his vote could efllct it an op portunity of rescuing his name from the loul impu tation of falsehood mr hs boasted influence over his mr ps constituency will not prevent him from this act of justice but at the same time he must observe that it was a mere boast and no thing more substantial let him come forward with me said the hon gentleman to the hustings even of the county in which he was born and there too he may discover that he is not possessed of that ex traordinary influence over mens minds which he vainly arrogates the remarks made by the hon and learned gentleman had no other object than to depreciate his mr fs usefulness and influence in that house but this is not the moral power to ef fect his motives are too flimsy not to be seen through and his majestys solicitor will shortly have to bar the mortification and disgrace of being convinced by his failure that lie is not higher than insignificance in thecountrys estimation with re gard to the motion mr p observed that he was more and more convinced of the necessity of its adoption his excellency the lieutenant gover nor stated the reasons of the dismissal of the law- officers of the crown this statement has been une quivocally denied by the hou aud learned member in this conflict of assertion is it not due to the hon from the co j to represent the fact that lands were gv to the hon member for lanark he had on the ftuhority of sir

house this question was one of great importance it was whether the first lawyer in the country had aided and abetted in lite riots which were stated to have taken place it was neces ary to examine and

the supposition that gentlemen at the opposite side been sincere he did not believe that roads and bridges alone constituted all the wants and wishes of the country mr mck then aain stated that he was required when in england io state his objections to the reinstatement of messrs hagerman and boulton and notwithstanding that he had done so that mr h was restored to office and mr b created chief justice of new foundland now he wished to be informed upon what grounds they were so leappointed after the v had been declared at the colonial office unfit and improper persons to hold any office under his majesty government we are said he the grand inquest ofthe country and it is therefore our bounden duty to enquin into the matters and it s hoped it will not he seen that hon members will consent to stifle the spirit of enquiry but will come forward like freemen regardless of the smiles or frowns of power discharge their duty to the coun try by voting for the address mr mclean saw no good could possibly rtiault from this address and it should therefore have his most strenuous opposition- it has been observed said he that certain hon- members are opposed to enquiry yet noargument has been advanced to show what is the benefit to be derived ftom the contempla ted address only one paltry reason was adduced by the hon member for lincoln that there was a difference between the succulent of the hon and learntd solicitor general and that of hia excellent ofthe hon gentlemans dismissal this he could not credit for a moment his excellency is too much a man of the world to implicate his character in such a manner when called upon to state bis reasons he could not for a moment think of substi tuting for them the vagaries of his own imagina tion- the meau subterfuge therefore that bis ex cellency acted on mere supposition can prove no thing to the point unless perhaps it was intended to show that hi excellency was a weak man and in that case to lax his imbecility with the impropriety under consideration he mr p would never con sent to such an outrage on his majestys represen tative it has also been urged that air iliackenic had made false statements if so let it be made appear and he pledged itimself thai he would be among the first to censure and condemn him we are all aware said he that statement have been privately sent home from this country by sir i maitland in which certain hon members of this house were represented as factious demagogues and yet we find them sent back to the house as rep resentatives of loyal and respectable constituencies their characters were shamefully traduced and the were only shielded from ruin and degradation in the warm affections of the people who knew their worth and public virtue under circumstances such as these he could not conceive upon what ground the desired information should he withheld hy could not imagine that in a house like this the spirit of inquiry which is the animus of free institution would be resisted and he concluded by daiini an hon member who professed to be a reformer tu vote against the motion jiff mackenzie hon members say there isn interest taken by the public on these
