sentiments he pleases before the public blackstone to the hon jonathan sewell speaker of the legislative council of lower canada sir tbe last session of the provincial parliament of this province having just ter- minated like the preceding one in au act l not less destructive of the fundamental i principles of our constitution than of the i peace and happiness of his majestys cana dian subjects and seeing that like another catiline yon have once more dared iu the feigned character of a friend of your adopt- jod country to raise your arm against her 1 cannot prevail upon myself to witness in silence a deed so atrocious and so full of kppendiog woe legislative powers were iconferred on this province for its peace immlfare andgood government but what ffias been tie result a stupid and ignoble faction blind to the future interests of their native country and carried away by preju dices happily peculiar to barbarous times and savage men have exercised their pri vileges uot to improve but to deteriorate- not to cultivate but to lay wasie not to raise in the scale of eulighteuecl prosperity but tosinlt into contempt insignificance and confusion the fairest portion of the british colonial empire will you sir deny that you bave joined this faction heart and soul you dare not for your deeds stand a re cord and everlasting memorial of yourguilt aleo of mere humanity pity the degradation which you have thus entailed upon your name and family but lovers of their country despise the roan who arriving at he most honorable stations in the province by the maintenance of principles calculated tf ftwssvwd uu ensure its prosperity could desert his ranks and not remember ing tbe difference between praise aud profit has basely prostituted both his talents and influence to tho fomenters of disorder and the the enemies of good government the troubled 6tate of public affairs both in the mother cnuntry aud her colonies may in duce your friends to plead your excuse on the score of conciliation and the abstract powers of expediency over the common dic tates of priuciple but iu my opinion the only extenuation of your crime is the na tural indifference of an intriguiug hunter of fortune like yourself to the prosperity of the country when compared with the spon taneous love and veneration of a native you left the united states during the per formance of the greatdramaofa revolution which ravished a young but giddy people from the fond embraces of a just and gene rous parent take care sir that you do oot become an actor and go down to the grave amidst scenes so consonant to tbe political sentimeut3 in which you have been initiated in reprobating your public conduct on the present occasion i entreat of you to be lieve that i am not personally your enemy sir 1 am thank god the personal enemy of no man i deny and repel the insinuation with scorn were i capable of sobise and malevolent a disposition i should despise and abhor myself as much as my reverence for our constitution of government and the spirit of a briton have taught me to hold in detestation the enemies of mycouniry if it were possible rof m to tmammp pri vate grudge against any one i trust that the great being who made me has endowed me with more manliness and greater jove of justice than to appropriate to the gratifi cation of ray own revenge the sacred pon iard which should only be used iu the more hllowed cause of my country 1 therefore sir respect your station i also venerate tbe hoary scalp of ago and the father i believe the dutiful father of a large family nor do i daro to pollute the sacred fanes of the legal tribuual where you preside but here terminate my respect and venera tion for you should your delinquencies in another public capacity reflect back on these the odium aod puuishmenl iosepara- be from a crooked and faithless hue of po licy you have yourself alone to blame your family and friends may share in your misfortunes but it is from you alone that tbeycan claim redress while you live and torn the oblivion of your name for conso lation after you have gone hence do not be surprised at this attack upon your pursuits as a politician when men in your high station abandoning the princi ples of equity and justice and the landmarks of a national code of freedom and security trample upou the laws by which it is sup ported for the evident if not the avowed purposeof aggrandizing avarice and venali ty as well as opening the sluices of popular tyranny it is time to raise every barrier to their inroads which it is possible for the moral and intellectual endowments of man loaccomplish but such has been the effect of the doctrines which you have of late be gun to propagate and the principles which you now maintain in relation to the legisla tive authority of ibis province that the only nlternativc left to the enlightened but en slaved portion of the population is open force or the powers of a free and indepen dent press the natural supplemental check of englishmen upon tyrannical rulers aud the last refuge of a free people w hatevcr others may do i shall for my on part adopt at present the latter alternative be- ioe the most rational if not the most effec tive way of combating those who have the cunning to conceal from external view the malignant disaffection which a cowardly heart dares them to avow there are weapons which may reach the soul without affecting the head were it not so tergi versation chicane and inconstancy like jours would 611 tho world with impunity whilst criminals of less guilt became the vie tjotsofau untimely end as a lawyer ton cannot deny the fairness of this mode pf defending ourselves from domestic foes e as a judge i should lament to see a ques tion which involves the dearest birthrights of englishmen tried in a court where a sewell might he equally just with a jeffries hut as a father 1 should have no hesitation in claiming your approbation- when the conduct of a judge of the court of vice ad miralty is such as to merit the disapproba tion of the world we know in what family circle to find if not an heroic atleasta rea dy and a willing champion in calling you up before the public on the present occa sion i am not so sanguiue as to enterlaintbc hope that i shall again compel you to an- pearbefore your sovetcign loaded with the contempt aud maledictions of a whole pro vince for your misconduct as a judge for your pernicious advices to governors and to use the words of the complaint against you for favoring the progress of american influence in the province yet your name and character have of late become so inti mately allied tocrimesofa different nature though of a deeper die i have no fears that in addition lo the charges made good against you by this peu on former occasons i shall he able to raise a mooument to your delinquencies which will not only survive the miseries which you seem so desirous of entailing upon us but serve as a beacon to posterity at once to avoid public conduct like yours and hold the memory of the au thor in abhorrence nevertheless in tho words of cicero mercy is icy delight but never in the hour of danger to ray country may that mercy degenerate into weakness or cowardice i believe that but few are unacquainted with the anarchy which has prevailed in this province for the last ten years the whole of this discontent misery and dfe pair have arisen from the pretensions of the house of assembly to the appropriation of the crown revenues of this province contrary to tho law by which these re iiues wercctcatcd the declared opioiou 0 rt tapnm w viovmvm pnmffiftmt of the attorney and solicitor gcueral of eoglaud of a special committee of the house of commons and of every reasona ble man who has paid the least attention to the subject it is true that other questions have arisen out of these unjustifiable claims which serve to increase aud prolong the confusion of the province but however differcully you may act aud speak you know as well as i do that these pretensions are the source of our misfortunes and that they will continue to be so while yourself and others bound by law and the solemn oaths of your situations to act otherwise continue to pursue your present vacillating and unprincipled course indeed such are the sentiments and opinions engendered in this unhappy provioce by conduct so much at variance with the activity and sound sense which ought to characterize an energetic administration that whatever measures may be adopted and however soon the great question at issue may be put to rest no human art no humau ingenuity cau ever erase from the minds of the people the various impressions which have been made upon them since the commencement of our present disputes- accustomed on tho one hand to look with contempt and on the other with want of confidence to the mea sures of a ministry that have exhibited themselves on this side of the atlantic at least in all the various aspects attitudes and colours of a harlequin ocw subjects of dis content will spring up and bo persevered in with impunity until at last ine people will become reckless uf consequences and ripo for the most dangerous and alarming attempts i desire that this prophecy maybe marked should neither of us two witness its accomplishment be assured thai those who como after us will experience all the evils and miseries attending it already we behold the french population of the pro vince goaded by their leaders and dema gogues and encouraged by the wavering and nerveless policy of the colonial of fice not ouly standing upon what they sup pose lobe their extreme rights hut driven almost frantic with rage at the bare surmise of their claims bcingeironeous the eng lish population exhibit acoudition still more alarming an awful silcuce pervades them that meek and patient submission peculiar to a noble race struggling with misforiuucs imposed by a superior arm which they are loath to smite reigns over them they perceive the cold steel of parental folly and negligence approaching their bosoms but they are unwilling to parry it while a ray of hope remains of its being withdrawn by the hand thai holds it yet the distant mut tering of the storm is sometimes heard and woe be to this province to british domi nion in america should the tempest still fanned by paternal indiscretion break out in this quarter such being the state of matters it be comes accessary once moro shortly to in quire how and hy what means we have been reduced to a condition so extremely deplorable you sir know as well as any man in the country that before the curse of a popular legislature was conferred upon this con quered province still destitute of materials for so nice and intricate a superstructure likewise know that when the house of assembly presumed to invest themselves with the authority of the lords of the treasu ry the usurpation was manfully and indig- uantly resisted both by the imperial aud co lonial governments and that in all the con troversy that has taken place and in the uumcrous communications which have been made on the subject to the provincial legis lature not a single acknowledgment is to be found on the part of these governments of the pretensions of the assembly but on the contrary the most direct and positive denial and refutation you know moreo ver for you have frequently seen aud per used the documents that as far back as 1820 and 1821 instructions and despatch es were transmitted from the colonial of- 6ce to the governor in chief enjoining in the most positive terms the rejection of the claims of tbe assembly and confirming the measures of preceding governors in regard to this subject who does not know who has not heard of the opinion pronounced by the attorney and solicitor general of eng land giving an express and decided sanction to the views of government and adding that the duties having been imposed by par liament at a time when it was competent to parliament to impose them they cannot be repealed or the appropriation of them in any degree varied except by the same autho- t iui au uav m- i tbe import duties arising from the imperial statute 14th george iii chapter 88 were accounted for to the lords of iho i reas- ury aud hy warrants under their hands appropriated towardsdefrayiog the expen ses of the admiostration of justice and ol the support of civil government in the said province you also know that twenty years after tho passing of the coostitu tional act of 1791 the same system conti nued to be persevered in and that the house of assembly duriog ail that time never attempted to jay claim to the func tions imposed upon the commissioners of the treasury contenting themselves as they ought still to do with a general review of the mode in which this revenue was ap propriated and in raising and applying such additional funds as the exigencies of tbe protince rendered necessary you rity you have seen the despatched of the colonial minister founded on this opi nion the whole province has seen them they direct and instruct his majestys re presentative in the province not on any pretence lo give way to tbe pretensions of the assembly aud imposed upon him the necessity of refusing all arrangements that went in any degree to compromise the integ rity of the revenue known by the name of the permanent revenue the message ol his excellency sir james kkmpt to the pro vincial legislature on the 28th of november ie8 is fresh in the rem cmbracce of every oue it states that the statutes passed in the 14ih and 31st years of the reign of his late majesty have imposed upon the lords commissioners of his majestys treasury tho duty of appropriating the produce of the revenue granted to his ma jesty by the first of these statutes and that whilst the law shall continue unaltered by the same authority by which it was framed his majesty is uot authorised to place the revenue under the control of the legislature of the province the message scut to the legislature during the last session by bis majestys commands is equally explicit his excellency is further commanded to inform the house of assembly that without the authority of parliament il would not he in his majestys power to adopt those mea sures from which alone a permanent adjust ment of thosequestions can be anticipated the appropriation of the revenue arising from thestatute of the 14th geo iii cap- 88 being not properly a right which may he maintained or received at pleasure hut a duly for the performance of which the lords commissioners of his majestys trea sury must remain responsible until the act of parliament has been either amended or repealed these sir are facts which from your situations as au executive and legislaiive councillor you cannot be otherwise than familiar with- 1 regret to be uuder the necessity of repeating iu this place what has n irene y been so frequently publuhcd auddiseuixd but it was the only means left me of exhibiting in their full and naked tleiorusity the criminals by which u hub ot conduct so opposite lo that pointed out by the law has been pursued i bnvc on a former occasion held up lo the scorn and derision of every man of prin ciple in the province the manuerin which after a base abandonment of former opi nions and sentiments you last year acquies ced in the construction put by the house of assembly on the laws relating to the per manent revenue of the crown and not content with the assistance of every mem ber of the legislative council whom you could bribe who flattery or intimidate with threats gave two votes yourself when you had no right to give oue in order lo convey to the font of the throue a supply bill containing clauses uot only in direct contradiction to the documents which j have quoted above but a virtual repeal of that very act of the imperial parliament which his majesty himself is pleased to say he dare not iufriuge upon sir from what we now know of you il became you well io act such a part as this however much we have suffered from your conduct we feel grateful even for this timely notice of of your intention to ruiu aud euslavc us yet we trusted that you should never again have it io your power to put your patriotic intentions into execution- lint we were sadly aud miserably deceived contrary to our expectations the ecnius that at pre sent reigns paramount in the colonial of fice is unforlunately for us your friend and the colonial minister contrary to the law of the land and tho principles main tained in his own despatches to the provin cial governor in au evil hour affixed the seal of his approbation to the unprincipled deeds of infamy of yourself and your friends but sir george murray is amenable to the laws of bis country as well as the humblest pauper now pining from want ml her numerous alio houses and perhaps the dnj i not far distant when be will find that it ji so he had no right legal mo ral or political to advise bis majesty to give his royal sanction to a measure that had been illegally forced on his representa tive in this province sir george knew well o at least ought io kuow that the supply bills of 1829 were not only contrary in tenor an spirit to his own instructions but were carried through the legislative council io a manner so completely deroga tory to and parliamentary usage that the cve will entail indelible disgrace on you si t man who dared to sel both law anij custom at defiance sir george has therefore neglected to perform his duty to his king and country nnd i trust that should he repeat an actso prejudicial lothe true interests of this province and unbe coming the dignity and impartiality of his majestys government three will be a suf ficient spirit in the country to petition par liament to impeach him tis high time that the colonial office should be apprised of the extreme danger of temporizing with the state of this province il is high time that justice were done to all parties it is nigh time to know aud understand our wants as well as our rights lis high time to repeal our constitutional laws altogetherorexecute them as they stand according to their true intent and meaning if cither of these al ternatives be not adopted without delay unprincipled men will rule aud govern the country in the way most suitable to their own private views aud interests and honest men will be driven to the necessity of de fending themselves hy those means which have ever been found to be at once tho ruiu and scourge of civilized countries but i return to address myself to you personally let me ask you whether from the beginning to the end of the late provincial administration there existed a public document touching tbe financial question which you have not seen nnd pe rused a hundred limes over have you not been present in the executive council at every discussion that took place on ibis question during the same period livc you not in your capacity f an executive councillor during the whole of the period stated approved by your vole and other wise of all tbe measures publicly adopted by the governor with respect to the ques tion at issue and to cimplete that so lemn approval have yoi not assisted in drawing up almost everyone of the docu ments submitted by the khgs representa tive to the legislature during the whole of the above period vorsaiilo ns your pub lic character ho aud bad s is the opinion which j entertain of it i v ill do you the justice to admit thai i do not believe you will have the courage however much the inclination to deny any one of these ques tions my information is too well found ed to admit of your doing otherwise with any probability of escnpe from the just aud inevitable punishment which would await you- yet the moment your friend and patron lord dalhousic resigned the reins of government for ho did resign them and to use his own impressive words handed the reveled hank over to his success or you basely apostatized from your for mer opinions and sentiments and began to form new ones suitable to those maxims of personal and family aggrandizement which you have ever deemed the only criterion of public conduct you found it convenient as well as prudeot to forget that with the view of obliging yourself and enriching your family his lordship incurred alike the dis pleasure of the province and the animad versions of the house of assembly and that nothing but the official opinion of he judges confirming the legality of the mea sure could appease the general clamour raised with respect to it ingratitude is too tame and soft a term for conducl like this the inherent turpitude of a fiend is a more adequate and appropriate phrase cut how can you account for such con duct in you- official and political capacity who enveyou a right to tamper with trie feelings of i free aud loyal people yc know indeed whence the gale has sprung whicti has luuuecu you oi surtocu ivwhu your former public course but it will cost you more trouble to conviucc usthatweare under any obligations to submit our necks to a stroke from you who owe us every thing permit me to assure you that while you are thus undermining our con stitution and invading the very founda tions of our laws you are at the same time stamping your own character with tbe foulest and deepest impressions of cor ruption nothing great or worthy can bo expected of him who instead of consid ering what is right in itself and what part it is fittest for one in his station to act is only of gratifying i and promoting the private views of his re lations but a solitary gratification of tho pas sions is not sufficient to satisfy such de sires as yours no sooner had you over thrown the constitution by your double vote of last year than you thought proper to commence a course of coquetry with mr papineau your own and lord dal- housies implacable enemy which sinks you on a level with the meanest parasite it was in vain on bis first appearance at quebec that you asked that wretch at ooce void of all politeness and ignorant of common decency to dine with you even in his public capacity as speaker of the house of assembly for he never returned au answer to your invention you not only had the meanness to submit to such insulting treatment hut made another and a more ignoble eflbrl to win his good gra ces that splendidly bound copy of the transactions of tbe literary and historical society which you presented to him met ihe fate which such a present merited ho returned it hy expressing his surprise that you should presume to take such liber ty with him and hy reminding you that noon but public intercourse could ever take place between you yuu totally forgot the character of the map whose favours you so assiduously courted as well as your own station in society lid you loo for get that you had been instrumental in eras ing the name of papineau from tbe list of executive counsellors in this province aud that by you were pronounced the never to be forgoi en words af papineau and gentlemen of the assembly am command ed by his excelleucy he governor in chief to inform you that his excellency joth not approve of the choice which the assembly have made of a speaker and in accordingly now disallow and discharge the myself in admonishing even him for his po- said choice if you did those who hap pen o be partially disposed towards you may discover some palliation though they cannot justify your conduct if you did not and it is impossible to believe the con trary who can look upon you as a man of honour or fathom the depth of your pollu tion you ought to have known that any alliance with the object of your proffered friendship would degrade you iu public as well as in private life and when honest men witnessed your attempts to bring about a conjunction founded on so rotten a basis however natural they could not fail to prognosticate he most serious con sequences they knew that as matters stood the province was sufficiently unhap- py what must have been our situatiou had its two greatest enemies been united in one boud of mutual resolution to destroy us i shall now review your conduct in the late session with respect to the question of supplies when his excellency sent down the estimates of the necessary expenses of the civil government of the province for the current year he not only expressed his re liance ou the liberality of the house to grant the supply now required in aid of tbe revenue of the crown for the public ser vice but stated iu his message ihat in this estimate were included by his ma jestys command the arrears of salaries aud other sums due to various public offi cers that the inadequate supply of last year afforded no means of discharging the whole estimate amounted io 71- 246 17 0 but fiom this was deducted 40- 000 being the appropriated revenue at the disposal of the crown leaving a balance to be supplied of 31246 17 0 it forms no pari of my present object lo iuquirc into tho proceedings of the house of as- oii and tho however p lliu principle of pls m caiis ilty ol consistent lo their pretensions at vari- cunstltu- scmbly ance with ttuu a to least been hut wheu the bill of supply founded on tbe estimate came to be discussed in the legislative council it was discovered that the revenue of the crown already ap propriated by ihe imperial acts by virtue of which alone supplies could have been voted were blended together in one undis tinguished grant without the least refe rence to the distiuction existing between ihe permanent revenue above alluded lo and that solely in the gift of the people it was also discovered that not only had the assembly by their mode of voting the supplies interfered with the perma nent scale of he salaries of various offi cers of the government but that tbe sala ries of a number of officers had been refus ed altogether it was consequently rea dily discovered that the sum voted in the bill of supply was nearly 000 less ihan tho estimate the object of this glaring breach of faith with tbe government ivas plain the consequences inevitable a number of the members of the legislative council saw matters in their true light aud with the respect aud solemnity due to the constitution and the laws proceeded to arrest in their progress encroachments on the part of the popular branch of the le gislature not less insidious than alarming but sir you were not among them it would be folly lo expect that you should you had a more ignoble game to play and if you bave won it your satisfaction can considering us the fairest means own venal propensities wl diituuiii ill wai i uvjiiiji oy ster who hazards hi reputation for the sake of foul and momentary success the supply kill thus couched being committed to a committee of the whole bouse on tho evening of the 24th of march the committee after a keen aud animated contest divided when here being seven on cither side and consequently no ma jority io report the dill to all intents and purposes and agreeable to the usage and all the precedenis of parliament was thrown out aud the house alter proceed ing to other business was adjourned i shall not trouble myself with a recital of the precedents bearing on his case 1 shall only say that they are sufficiently nu merous and may be found on almost eve ry page of ihe journals of parliament but it will be quite unnecessary to ravel so far fur nothing can be more agreeable to the plainest dictates of common sense as well as to the usage of every legal tribuual in the empire than that when any body of men having competent jurisdiction differ iu opinion in equal numbers no decision can be pronouoced the laws of parlia ment which are the laws of the land are still more decisive of the point or when such a case as this happens the measure is necessarily lost and cannot be resumed during the same session however serious the consequences- but the case before us affords another and as i conceive an in vincible argument in favour of my view of it so satisfied were the legislative couucilof the bill io question being lost in tbe committee that they proceeded to other business as a house before they adjourned sir 1 call upon you to deny these facts and contradict me if you can but machinations such as yours are not easily averted what you cannot accom plish by human means you have noscru- ple in appealing to heaven and in culisting the servants of the most high iu your cause no matter how injurious to your fel low subjects you came down next day to the council accompanied by your political fidus achates determined to call the supplv bill from the dead by the single vote of my lord bishop of quebec who did not before appear in his place during the whole session and who i will do his lordship the justice to say never read the bill taking it for granted that it contained similar provisions to that of last year in fa vour of his poor schoolmasters as his lordship was pleased lo call them my respect for iho private character liiical weakness and subserviency- i must however tell his lordship that bis conduct during the two last sessions of be provincial legislature has not only surprised his best fiiends but scandalized the church of which he is tbe head and that his lord ship had been much better employed in building her broken walls and guarding her from the leprosy of univcrsalum with which she is at present so hideously polluted than in lending his aid to make breaches on our civil constitution had his lord ship he manliuess to have acted towards you sir as he did last summer with res pect to the witnessing of the sacred pa geantries at montreal the province would have been spared the pain of beholding the heads of the church and the law joining hand in hand to ruin and enslave us but lawn sleeves have been stained on more than ooe occasion of late wha aiblinsgang a parliamontin for britain glide their souls iodentin fitl lad ye little ken about it for britains gude i greatly doubt it say rather gaun as premiers lead them aud sayiug aye or nos they bid them burns- your first act on this occasion was to call upou the chairman of tho committee to report upon the bill which he very pro perly and constitutionally refused to do having received no instructions from the committee you then made a feint of quoting precedenis in justification of your unwarrantable proceedings but hero again you were destined to be overpower ed for precedenis diametrically opposite to yours were showered upon you at such a rate as to stagger even your unlawful re solves there was yet another source open to you and with the corrupt votes of seven sycophants at your heels you deter mined to avail yourself of it you called upon the clerk to produce the proceed ings of tho committee in other word- to take upon himself the duties of the chair man and report the bill to the house i believe this is tho first instance on record of the transmigration of a clerk of any le gislative body into a member no matter it served your purposes and had transub- stantiation itself been of aoy nvail i have no doubt but you would adopt it and prevail upon a protestant bishop to swal low a wafer for the body of his lord and master by these means you carried ycur poiut butstill it was ouly byyourown casting vote and you know that by the usage of parliament the casting vote of the speaker is always given in favour of the noe9 illegal and unconstitutional ai your conduct has been iu his instance tho province is somewhat beholden to you in asmuch as you did not a second time dis grace he journals of he council by a double vote i pride myself upon ha ving shamed you out of his unjust preten sion- i pride myself for having spoken in the language of a freeroau to you with respect to a claim unheard of io the legis lative proceedings the province owes me a debt of gratitude for his aud should the meanness and subserviency of the pre sent time deny nc an acknowledgement of it i appeal to posterity for justice and assure myself that i shall oot be disappoint ed let us now sir look back and take a view of the consequences of the line of con duct which you have pursued on the pre- of tin vide appeudix no i i his majestys name his excellency doth i bishopis so great that i dare scarcely trust mutrvb a wu house of assembly in an attempt to set aside the constitutional laws of this pro vince but by arts which are only peculiar to a cunning and intriguing mind have prevailed upon a number of feeble charac ters in the legislative council to enlist themselves under your dernocratical ban ners and become the passive tools of your infamous designs- believe it sir that those who know you will not give the cre dit of so inglorious an advantage to your eloquence notwithstanding the eulogsfims bestowed upon it in your younger and more innocent years by a siddons should your adherents in the legislative council be induced to continue their at tachment to you much longer they will find that they have as loose a tie upon your gratitude as others who havo been equally credulous and lavish of their good offices and ihat when it suits your pur- puse you can desert them with as little compunction as you havo compromised your duty to your country and your-8ovo- reign by ihe supply bill just passed no less than about fifty permanent officers and departments belonging to the government of this province have been either deprived of their salaries altogether or reduced to such a pittance asloreoderthem contempt ible in tbe eyes of the public rather than useful branches of the government the ancient governor of gaspe has been rob bed of 600 due to him on the
