We'reached the Hall dur when, by parity of reason, he gave bis bearers to understand why he opposed Confederation on the floor of Pailiament ; and why he prefer- red a Legislative to a Federal Union of the Provinces. He coatends that We are in no better position today, either peeuniarily or politically, than canse we have more to contribute, in a pecuniary sense,, towards the Government of Lower @anada in proportion to the nnmber of our re- presentatives ; and he asserts that a Federal union, in his opinion, would bave remedied our difliculties as we as Confederation, with far less ex- peuse--there being but one Govern- ment necessary t) the former, where- as there are five Governments under the iatter, as at present. These were the grounds on which he had taken dssue with Confederation, and ho left it with his hearers to say whether he bad acted eonscicn- tiously, and in harmony With the in-- terests of Upper Canada, or not, -- At all events his speech on that gaces tion before the House, was admitted to be correct, and was approved of by all parties. He had voted on that question, as on all others, from convictions of right andihonesty of purpose, believing that which is good for- the Conservative is good | for the Reformer, and what is good for the Reformer is gobd for 'the C Hay) to y wd, a new order of things takes plice, and he appeared before his. constitn- ents for re-election, It" had been master | urged against him that hé'is an ont- Carrier, 'Minister of , Minister of #iceeral. sider, and being such ho conld not Hoa.

Bat he had been present when anything was before the people which affected their interests. For! instance,--he was at a public meeting in Manchester when the 'question of establishing the boundary line was brought up;--he was ata meeting in Prince Albert in. meference to the Drill Shed;--he was at Cannington on the opening of a public Hall; and wherever his services were required. It had been urged against Lim, too, that be had defended the Fenians. In reply to this he alluded to the nature of the oath. administered on his admission to the bar, which re- quired bim to defend anyone, and said the Crown had given hima special permit to defend the prisoners in question. Having. made mention of a singular circumstance, which 'occurred to him the other day, wherein a woman informed him of her inten- tion to shoot some onc, and had asked him to defend her before the deed were committed, he passed on to observe that if the people'of this county thaught Mr. Thompson better qualified than himself to represent ther interests in Barlisment they had a right to elect bimi;- but if his. own rights were sufficient, and his past conduct in keeping with the wishes of the people, he hoped to be again returned.
