These the British Gorernment had replaced by 30,000 Snider breech loaders on the same conditions. c Tlh. nm-inderb of the Address was u:s read paragrapi by aph and pas until the 13th, when n‘rr.‘firu'on wourd call the attention of the House to the paragraph relating to breech loading arms,\ and thought it would be very satisfactory if the. Ministry would give some explanations as to the manâ€" ner in which they had been obtained. Mr. BECHARD, ((Iberville,) addressed the House in French. Mr. MASSON, Terrebonue, also in Frensh, uext addressed the House. h corruption and demoralisation had ‘beâ€" come . a diafrnce. ~_The true system was to pay well, discountenaute corruption | and thus Enurve the Cuaracter of the counâ€" "K. In the consideration of all questiond which might come up he trusted they would be regarded in the light of broad, .mple“ and generous patriotism, and that they might be guided by fiudouco in dealing with all these matters. He hoped they might aveid, above all, personal considerations, and approach questions with a determination to regard them in a broad, liberal, patriotic, rather than in a narrow sectional, light (hear, hear.) His hon. friend (Mr. Tlhq) and himself had long been politically opposed to each other, but . when this Tluu'on of Confederation came up they had Iaid their opposition aside and striven together for the success of the meaâ€" sure, and he hoped that this course would commend itself generally to the people‘s repreâ€" sentatives. He trusted, moreover, :Ke Governâ€" ment would bring down those measures with the ,least possible delay in order that those. people at a distance, who were represented by the hou. members trom the Maritime Provinâ€" AFTERXOON sEsHiO®, â€" o 4 O a NO lmrds of whom were his own, | and still he was returned ; many of his poliâ€" | tical :rponon& oo‘:nin‘ to ‘iill ldid for the purâ€" carrying Union.

Thelearned gentleman instanced the mnmlaer in which tlge uniformity of & â€" postal system would be a at gnoflt to él’ou Sootians, ::.::lf";n ‘ anadians. He r?nuod the a! of the Secretary for the rovinces, and went on to describe the manner in which constituencies were carried against Union by amall majoriâ€" ties, and showed that a reaction had already been begun. His hon. friend had stated last night that he had never advocated a political move with Cuudn' but he (Dr. T.) would read extracts from the hon. gmtlemln'- own ‘ sj-por, :idn.«:d by ::iiuu:.lfi w iel:b:h:twghly sproved the position taken by on. genâ€" tleman. If the sentiments he had read were not those of his hon. friend, he had certainly been most remiss in repudiating them. They were the outline of the present Constitution, and from 1838 cuntil very recently the memâ€" ber for Hants had not disclaimed" his reaponâ€" sibility for recominending it. â€" The hon. genâ€" i teman in 1849 â€"had again made recommendaâ€" tions that did great credit to his sagacity, seeâ€" ing that they had been taken up and now | formed the Constitation of the Dominion. His epnpemaiy im s *A carvebiarmaaninr 2lÂ¥ wrhaima â€"half the votes of the Province, and that reâ€" mained uncuntradicted. He (Mr. T.) had etated that his hon. friend had done more to educate the people of,B. N. A. up to Union than any 3?.'3' His hou. m...J’ knew that the sentiment of Union had always been favored by the public sentrment of Nova Scotin. The Union party had been thoroughâ€" ly beaten, but they would have been beaten had that question had no existence. His hon. friend had not come: forward to oppose the measure at its inception, but only when his position as an officer of the British Govâ€" :;:mom was lost. The attitude 4:: H:I::xl: itan city, containi e t nd.ilr.n.nwh uence, was ugodjouud*gm-dc.u the: warning that if Confederation was carried, ‘ the usury laws would be -Vgt away, and every borrower would suffer, His friend opâ€" posite had held up Canada and Canadiuns to the uecr;t:r of g‘:u Scootians. He was sorry to that spectacle of 100,000 men in arms in the United States had comâ€" Eleuly changed the patriotic sentiments of is hon. friend. . The movement in Nova Seotia against Union was not spontaneous, but was manufactured in Halifax. . He (Dr. T.) was prepared to prove that the late change of the franchise disfranchised 1000 voters, twothirds of whom were his own, and still he was returned ; many of his noli. | was really opposed to Confederation. He H'fl:uglbu his opponents had not polled m the uates 2@ sb _ e ic + 207 A conversation here took place between the late Finance Minister and the member for Lambton in reference to the opinion of Ontario, Hon.

The policy of the Government had been equaly just to all U" â€" "/Ne0‘ nad been equaly j parts of the Dominion ; .i:"lmd not | pathy (hear, hear), had contributed to shake the confidence of depositors in the Commerâ€" cial Bank, because it was generally underâ€" stood that the house in question had had large transactions with the ‘Bsuk. With reâ€" :g«n to the establishment of un ageney of e Bank of Montreal in the Lower Proâ€" vinces, it was perfectly true that this had been done, but to say that this had interfered in any way with the currency of the Proâ€" vinoes was utter nonserfse. The Bank of Montreal did the Gol;;‘rnnnuat business in the greater part of the inion, it was ns tural that they should Cmnd.fi agency of that institution, to do the public business in the Maritime _i’rovinon. The Government milllormuo they all f_oli . ir'v'nt_jli;ni"'o("o;"; m i‘ .Sn binicmndRraccaniat ricx LoR Ee so far as the Banks are concerned the Inst election had given conclusive proof that there was no feeling then against the Government on their account. With respect to the Bank failures, it was a fict that the Bank of Upâ€" per Canads ind gone down before the Curâ€" rency Act came in question. With regard to the Commercial Buank we had the statement of it« President that its currency, the only thing affected ty the Government policy was actually larger when it failed than when the: Act came into force. We had also evidence no less positive that the Bank had locked up nearly halt its capitul in one epeculation ; that other investments of a character not im. mediately couvertible had reduced its means, but these transactions had nothing t all to do with the policy ot the Governmen.. It might also be acknowledged that the sausâ€" Elunon wl a large commercial house in amilton, the head of which was known and respectad by all (hear, hear), who, us a Eoliliciw, and a merchant, was one of the ndmarks of his country, and for whose | in placing restrictions on trade. Our policy should be a free trude policy. . So Ion* as the United States pursues its present policy we must protect our interior border, but he would not admit it as a principle. He would give allFovernment measures a fair consideraâ€" tion, but would view them with auspicion. He would give the Government a tair wnd candid opposition. _ They had endeavored to expel every man of mark, and be (the speaker) was compelled to regret the absence of one of the best membters in the country,; the late member for South Oxford. On the authority d one of the parties to it, it was admitted that the object for which the Coatition was formed . ceased to exist on the first of July. â€" Because his party would not subsut to the imere perâ€" sonal objects of the Ministry they were brandâ€" ed as disloyal. â€" He took pride to himeelf for wkinfi:o mauintain the distinctive character of the Reform party, and he did not think it inconsistent with his desire to perguuu and establish our new nationality. He felt we were bound to do our full share in the matter of defence, and if anything should be moved from polities it should be this. It would even be better to go tpo far than to risk a misunderstanding with the mother o~untry. He concluded by saying that the speech of: fered but a miursb{c excuse for the Gpaliâ€" tion. . He complained of the number of genâ€" tlemen counected with the Finances, and one whose sole duty it was to spend what the others collected. If they were continued the objections to extravagance from the Lower Provinces would be just. Hon.: Mr. TlLLB{' said more money had |‘ been sent to the Lower Provinces than had been received. f f U deciing the responsibility for the acts gf the Ministry: _ It was not nsual with that ty. Me had been warned of the disaster which would fullow his scheme, but he persisted, and we all know the resultâ€"the failure of the Bank of Upper Cunada and the Commercial Bank. Theestimates of the late Finance Minister were never tulflled and were very inaccurate. _ He (thespeaker) did not believe ernments as inconsistent. Referring to deâ€" fence he said he did not desire to belonwu t nation that must live by aufferance. hen that question was forced upon us it would be our duty to seeâ€"whether we could not become independent of England should she desert us. The Roman Empire began to fall when she foreouk her colonies nnfi withdrew her troops from distaut localities. _ He complained that nothing was «uid of Reciprocity in the apeech, and of the disadvantages which Canadian shipping was« subject to on the lakes, He was glad tie: other ‘night that ud late I"immge Minister had become #o sensitivel us cept in Weat Montreal, and hon. gentlemen opposite had lamentably failed to fix it upon that _ constituency.

To me, as haring the sure, slill it is beat to imitate our Bleased Suviour in this respect, who looked only at the distress as it presented iteell to His view, and relieved it without going too severely into the causes that produeufit. 1 believe it was in this spirit that your Society worked for the Irish Protestant poor, and by its timeâ€" ly aid, many a sick man‘s bed was soothed and many a desolate heart cheered. Perâ€" haps I know hetter than any other, that this was done, and I ozal( out on this point, not to flatter you, but to inspire you with fresh energy.

But nl‘ll preseuti ofmlvel before God this day, as a Bonevfiont Society, workâ€" ing in His name and reflecting His b‘uoing, our first duty should be one of reflection, whether we have been faithful goâ€"workers with God or not, in that most noble of ail christian worksâ€"the l‘oodinf elothing and warming Jesus Christ Himself, as the Scripâ€" tures assure us, in the renonor the poor. It is a n‘:‘ifht,v work in which Argels might long to take a partâ€"but it 1s given to us men | to test our . taith, and that thereby we may glority ‘our Father which is in heaven. t was to work of this kind that the Society‘s attention was directed last winter, and that a large amount of good was done by you in uluvinf distress l‘ can bear testimony. It is a well known fact that the working classes are generally improvident, that they seldom look ftarther than a day or a week ahead of them, and consequently when work is scarce, | as it is often during our long and severe winâ€" | ters, tbe]mfonmftolningrwdium Or this is caused sometimes by sickness of the fatheror mother on whose work a whole family ‘depends. Or by intemperance, which brings lamentation and mourning and woe into whatever household it curses by its presence. Or by the infirmities of old «ge which disable the once strong and manly arm.
