necessa ry at that moment to enter into any uch discussion it was sufficient to say that some alteration was certainly necessary both from a consideration of the present circumstances of the times and also from a consideration that that bill contained a plain indication that it was passed with a view to its particu lar application to the circumstances then exitin and the parliament at mat time foresaw that an alteration would be necessary in some future pe- riod when it would be proper to adopt another plan that moment he conceived was now arrived there was no necessity for withholding from the inhabitants of canada a participation of those pri vileges which were enjoyed by the iu- aabitants of every other british colony the province of canada stood in a dif ferent situation from the

colony already in possession of settled laws already in possession of much agriculture and of an extensive commerce this was the state with regard to the great majority of the lower province of quebec but there had been particular circumstan ces since the conclusion of the last peace which had created a population ill upper canada of a different sort a population which had not only been formerly acquainted with british pri vileges but which had retired to that country for the express purpose of en joying them in greater perfection than they could elsewhere after these preliminary observations his lordship entered into a most able justiiication of all the principal clauses of the bill lie said from the circum- tance of the inhabitants of the pro vince consisting of two classes it was judged proper to divide the province into upper and lower canada such division having a distinct legislature i withiu itself it bad been ittted tba i the french inhabitant of canada were so much attached to the prejudices of the canadians to their custom laws and manners as to prefer them to the laws of england he thought such an attachment deserved a better name tfian that of prejudice he conceived t was an attachment founded in reason or iu something better than reason iti the best feelings of the human heart his lordship said it was undoubtedly a mistake to suppose that any go vara ment was free only as it approached to democratic principles absolute mo narchy absolute aristocracy absolute democracy had in the history of man kind been tried in the scale of expe rience and had been found w anting our own constitution which was com pounded of these three was the iirst iu the worid and the envy o every sur rounding nation writ far that ret son that the if ice re no a about to com municate the blessings of the englhk constitution to the subjects of canada hecuusc ihey kcre fully convinced thai it was the best in the ivorld the lc gi stature of canada consist rid of thr parts representing thai of this country the governor represented the king the legislative council represented that body in this country whom he then had the honor of addressing and it had been objected among other tiling to that council that it would consist of two different classes of per sons some only to sit for life and oth ers by inheritance he said there was precisely the same objection to the august assembly he bad then the hon or of addressing some of that 80068 derive their titles by inheritance white others only sit for life and a third clu3j oni during one parliament l it had been stated he saidasano6 jectiou to this bill that the lower pro vince might oppress the higher pro vince a all the trade of the higher prov vince must come through the lower province the lower province niiht tuau ij flu lie it pnuma ami iiaighfc harass and oppress the upper province to any extent and that gnat krifatit could not possibly interfere consistent ly with her profession of giving a frfo constitution to canada hcom eivetl that there was a difference between a free constitution aud a free and indo dendent constitution great britain had not only the power of enacting laws which were obligatory on the in habitants of this country but she could alter aud new model those laws accor- ding to the circumstances and exigen cies of l he times if this were not so it would be impossible for a nation to improve in any one part of its consti tution and if great britain had a su perintending power over the laws aud government of this country he concei ved that she had the ame power over canada and that if the lower prov ince were to oppress the upper pro vince by imposing exhorbitant diitie- it was competent to this country to hold the balance between the two proviueet and to remove the grievance another objection has been taken to this bill because all the commercial law of england had not been transfer red in a lump to canada lis lord ship said he conceived that such a step would have been attended with manv inconveniences in the first place rftt uy parts of the commercial laws of this country did not at all apply to canada and even in the city of loudon where trade and commerce were better under stood than iu aiiy nation upon the faco of the globe it was conceived improper to admit common juries at guildhall to exercise the rights of juries ou mei- cantile questions which were always tried by special juries of merchants if this were so how much stronger did rt apply to the iuhihitauts of canada who were infinitely less acquainted with the commercial law of jthis coun try than any persons in the city of london ll this system therefore were to be introduced it would be at tended with the greatest uncertainty and confusion another objection that had beea stated to this bill was that it jwd not rendered the judges indepde hi lordship said- this was certainly a circumstance of very great import ance and a most desirable object hut frrm the piesent unceilain state of the law in canada fcte thought the ftp pointing judes in rhe way n whuh tlnv were appointed in great liriain would be attended with omh fiortf l
