g4 * It! #ift (PÂ¥ #%) 3 #4 24 #4 ta There has, lor years, been a hankering among several of the leading men in Canâ€" adu, not tor independence, but for a pease= able separation of this conntry trom Kogâ€" land, with a view to annexation to the United States.. This feeling has not been a cbharactgristic of the Canadian politician so much as of the Canedian trader. 1t is‘a feel= mg which has never lound sywpathy with the Freagh speaking inhabitants of Canada. Their prejudices and interests are in favor of monarchy: _ The imeorporation of Canada with the United States would have a levaâ€" ling tendency, so lar as the peouliar instituâ€" tions of the Province of Quebes are conâ€" cerned.: â€" Annexation would sweep entirely away the privileges of the Roman Catholie Church in Quebec, and politically annihilate the whole Freach speaking population of the Dominion. It has never been an Ontario whena. Quebes would be as completely awalâ€" lowed up by annexation as Louimana has been by its transierence in 1804, irom French to American rule. The idea origiâ€" nates in 1849 with some Enaglish traders of Montreal, who werse shooked at the idea of indemnifying persons, who had been looked upon as rebeia, for theis losses during the rebellicn of 1887â€"8. I1 was a movement originating in an antagouisam of races. 1t was asupposed that Koglani was lavorably disposed towards the conciliation ot the French speaking inhabitants ot Lower Canâ€" ada, while indifferest to the prejudiegs and reckileas of u.fin which the Eoglish apeaking population made for the supâ€" port of: her ombodui.tmbbuu“l Trade, too, was dull. The commersial poâ€" wammm.mnw included the ory of ships, colonies, and commerce, was distastelul to the mercantile mind of Canada. There was room for disaffection. _ It was supposed that England was indiWerent,to Colonial conneeâ€" tion. There was, immdeed, some excuse for the mistake unlee which the Koglish apeak:â€" mg population ot Canada labored in 18349, and the passage of the Rebeliicn Loases Bill naturully enuugh. aroused a Reling of disâ€" anustaction among that populsction. This Jealous feeling aided that purpose of those waders in Mconirgal, the commersial empoâ€" rlum of the coumty, who demred a closer connection with the United States than could be obtmuaed even by the most tavored of loreign nation«, and the celebrated Amnnaexaâ€" N r A‘exander (Galt complains of a senâ€" tence in an artole in cur previode issue, _ which runos thus : â€"* ludependence is to lead ;lo annexation, in the opinion of Sir Alex.

The subject of the discussion was a public mattér, and his hon. friend, if he would allow him to call him #o, would certainly q]low him (Galt) to give his views, even if they are at variâ€" ance with his (Hincks‘). The Ministor of Finance confined part of his remarks to. the speech of the member for Larhbton, by referring to annexation, independence, d Fenianism, and not in reply to the ery few words which fell from his ((idt's{ ips in the earlier part of the session. hall, howe:;-r. first l:’l;iefly rt:ply o the t of the s h of the hon. gentleâ€" un?“l'le has umf.c very great umbrage t the references he had made, and they wl heard from his lips a defence of the egislation, passed under his administraâ€" Jon years ago, _ He did not intend to folâ€" ow him into detail, nor to take the rest f his defence on such a foundation: He his defence on the nmud?unon ion of he two Provinces, and. asserted without r of contradiction, that the course folâ€" wed by the Finance Minister had been held in det;station, it was dus to his colâ€" »ague next him. . If ho owed his defeat 4t the polls to sny one; if any one was he cause of the public opinion wrongly,. says, directed against him, it was no ther than his present chief, (hear, hear). le had given a him:r of tha various mrces of the financial embarrassment to which he would not follow him, as not eing germane to the point at issue, ‘hen the Budget was before the House, here would be an opportunity of discussâ€" g the financial measures, which he would t, therefore, enter upon now. But he uld say that the results of the previous islation of the Financo Minister, did ore to debauch the public mind than any ther cause." + Sir FRANCIS IIINCKS wished his honâ€" »Jle friend to be more precise in his deâ€" ition as to the lo&:lhtion ho meant. Ie had had great difficulty in answering im for want of this. he thought that by. throwing the weight of his inflmlnlc:g witlh those gendemonhu who ex themselves 0 pocodm i (Hinck‘s) appointment, he :gught be able o «. Gsarrass the Government, and injure him in the e«timation of the gentlemen, many of whom woere total strangers to him and he to them. _ In conclusion all that he asked was that they would givo him and the Government fair play, and judgo them by their polax. and not by petty miserable ( questions of the personnel of tho Governâ€" | ment. Hon. Dr. TUPPER said no, he was not. Bir A. T, GALT said well, then, he (Dr. Tupper) had shown that, on this ocâ€" casion, heâ€" was again ignorant of what would consult public opinion in Nova Sootia, for the bringing down of that budget would _ have _ added fuel :to â€" the smouldering flames of discontent in that country, (hear, hear.) He (Tupper) said that his fgrvoper course u.fterwn.r&e was to support the party sitting beside his preâ€" sent leader, to offer advice to the Governâ€" ment, and denounce the action he took in gl.)so‘ition to the banking scheme. He followed the exact course the hon. member recommended, and the House would recollect that on the subject of adâ€" vancing the tariff, he had taken the course of remonstrating gently with the Governâ€" ment on the unfitness of advancing that tariff, considering tlho feeling in Nova Beotia, and perhaps the House would reâ€" member the way in which that advice was received, that his hon. friend had taunted him with all sorts of omission and commisâ€" sion. â€" It was very well known that the gentleman at the head af the Government would not think any one for using and objecting to his measures, and as long as one was a supporter of the Government, if he had anything to advise, it should be ‘done priywely. He ‘had no right to make it in any other way. The hon. gentleman had . stated that he was exâ€" cessively o3hd that he (Galt) had, as he said, tfiin with the Opposition. He must say that it always gave him pleasure when he had succeeded in pleasing others, but upon this occasion he thought the hon. gentleman was thankful‘for very small mercies. ‘The hon. gentleman would have lt h is has on antthoninenly Laing ie one it. It was an e i ing to uythuf‘o‘u ofdtb h(:overmnmt wore alâ€" ways on that ade (t tion) of the House. If he was to Wfim)firfi- enco they did not sit there very long (laughter). Opponents on that side of the Mouse might reasonably exroct to arise like stars in the firmanent, like the hon. member for Nova Scotia. The hon. â€" flmmiudupthhfiwryofl)onfds:; Hon. Mr. GALT said it was satisfactory to hear such astatement from the Minister of Mil:itia, and as he had every faith in that gentlemen‘s sincerity he could rely on it. He, howevér, ‘belicved that the use made by the Finance Minister of the corâ€" mpond’onoe was most umummd unfair. He w.shed to say a few {; r words to define his position, but before doing so he would make a little reference to the ‘llpeoch of the member for Cumberland. hat gentleman had constituted himâ€" self the castigator, as he might _ ‘say, for â€" ~the ~Mifistry. He had applied the _ ministerial rod to his shougkn (laughter). He had uken"u{::n himself the very unwilling task, as he stys, of voting me out of the party. It was from his (Dr. Tupper‘s) mouth that he was to receive sentence on the course he had taken in the past on the subject of Confederation. }lem underâ€" taken to refute his course for |the last four years. ~It did not suit his views, but members will be so independent as to folâ€" low their own views, even if they do not suit the member for Cumberland (laughâ€" tor%.. He (Dr. Tupper) said that ho (Nir A. T. Galt) had 1..-T the Government in the lurch without any budget, He would make no reference to these remarks, exâ€" cept that which referred to the budget. His particular position in the House was such that it was not considered exgedlent that he should bring down the budget, and he thou(giht that if the honorable genâ€" tleman would recall what he said at the time if he was not mistaken he was on his such as ought : to be _ dragged before the public on all occasions. Eitier that reference was made to prevent his entering the administration suppos.ng that he had waived his previous oljections, and therefore to make the offer in itself a nullity an l a deception, or it was intended topropdsea to him that which he could not without the greatest regret suppose his honorable friend the writer of it intended, and which he would not believe unless he (Cartier) said soâ€"that for the sake of enâ€" tering office he would desert the opinions which he considered necessary for the proâ€" gress of the country, The thought. that the Ministâ€"r of Militia should consider that be would commit such an act. would give him very great pain indeed, and he should like to hear an explanation from that honâ€" orable gentleman. He would say before hearing these explanations that there was not a man in the country whom he believed mare honorable intentions than the Minisâ€" ter of Militia, and if he would make these exghmtiom he would take his seat for a few moments. tha to keep the public contemplation . of 1 ‘ a l & P independence, _ : % was annexatioB. . > Minister had ch"‘.’,fl national staté, / 4 will most surely the United States, 4 Ministerial i sendflmb‘, io might fi no dou true that tmmfiz‘ of teaching them, exist unless MA....H about the terms Of 69 was again to bring | There were only three ! this matter; one was the was again to brinf t be said ; proposals were There were only three Zeif this Patliament ; they h this matter; one 'flld" a 84 an answer, and wou!l prosent oonnodfi w buuvem until after nex mdependenc(‘, * llhnd They could n was annexation. saf ng Qovem’n to answer t Minister had chosen0 therefore it was not quite ence and annexatioD **"" ) Pubctagy . the Government with He _ (Galt), . tofilt , mputh regard to Prince differed | with Nitk s mes ues‘ Mith regard to the position that thos@ M , the, [ "° for Provisional Goven ition which was ***° mty of . the “1 he could say â€" WOR that he stood on M as the ministers f ..‘ landâ€"(hear, me charge of PR eagainst him, would recoil upon th0® them.
