The most straightfrâ€" dom, or born within the Dominion, while inâ€" the United States all men are not equaily American. No wouder then that Mr. Hanâ€" tington admits that it would blast any man a reputation to stigmatize him as an annex~ ationist. Anativeof the U.

The commrercial element is so distracted in that tax ridden, shinâ€"plastered, monitor dispoiled conatry, that a free trade party is growing up and daily gathering strength in the principal aities of the seaboard. Even wore Canada mpe lor independence, which Jir Alexander Gait and Mr. l-drnmlny,ud annexation were possible, the people of Canâ€" win would sbrink from: it: Were the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain Canals comâ€" pleted toâ€"morrow, with looks as large as those of the Suez Canal, and the demand for amwn lumber in the United States were Aveâ€" lold as much as it now is, the people of Canada would not desire aanexation to that almost bankrupt nationality to the sButh of us.

It |was hardly fair to ask them to forget theé antecedents of the Min ister of Finance ; but at the same time, if he was the most a man for the post, he ought to have it. But, in view of his "I | * Sip A, T.

Mr. CARTWRIGHT resumed the dobate ® | on the Address..| Ho would say at the outâ€" * | sot that with respoct to the financial fuâ€" ture of the country he took a very hopeâ€" ful view. _ In view. of the rapid intrease of the public and private wealth of the country there no cause for alarm. ® | At the same timg we had great need to be careful. _ This‘cduntry was in the position * | of a man suddenly called to a great estato but little developed, and, in pro‘rortion to " | his immodiate me #, very heavily encumâ€" * | bered. _ Any one| who would examine the * public accounts for the last few yoars : | would see that dépducting the amount of ) | our sinking fund, |interest on public debt, t subsidies to Provinces, and other expenses, 4 such is a collection of revenue,: the marâ€" l gin at our disposal to carry on the ordiâ€" | nary services of the country, and the ncâ€" + pubilic improvements, ecarcely cxâ€" * coedo({ a millior Eoundn sterling. _ It ‘ | would be obvious | that this was a small ‘ | amount, when it is borne in mind that a | | reduction of ten cent., last year, in | ordinary revenue, | reduced ourgg.omoto | oneâ€"third, it would bo seen that ttc:ah'e | was necessary in the management of the | |finances. _ Such |a _ position _ statesâ€"| men _ should not be . found in twice. | When wo â€"| her remembered | that wo had tho@ Intercolonial Railway | and the Red Rivér. difficulty on hands, | the noce-it‘{ of économy in the public | service would be all the the more apparent, || even allowing for grdin mmnllinmuo ' of revenue. ’ s it was impossible, for : us in our prese osition, to carry on conâ€" siderable public works ; and though these | public works be of great benefit to the | t country, like thesp already constructed, | they would not be ipnumed productive. | © Adxtoallthh ity, in view of the reâ€" | C moval of the British troops from this counâ€" | 1 itry, the keeping up some kind of troops | 0 n their stead.

He was ve sorry to hear the : honorable l‘mneor‘muw descend to such a mode of argument. That Honâ€" ordable gentleman was very fond of quoâ€" ting English precedent, but he (Hmang- ton), pmumeditlrd‘ been .Ek:fi time g:.i.f the Chancellor of â€"the f°q:l: ound it necessary to ap or th support of the members of LK‘IImpoml Houke by saying that he was more loyal that there seemed to be a mystery surâ€" rounding the present state of affairs equal to that which troubled the poor man of the story. The hon. gentleman had been once sdhfinfnhhedmembonndmormmtof the Reform party. He (Huntington) was Elfin,' and suggested by Mrs. Stowe‘s yronic revelations.. Ho wished he had it with him as it was so apropos. It was about a man, a native. of a western city, who was represented as beinilin a comâ€" lete state of demoralization. He was in a g'l"html state of mind. His ne.izhbou asked him what was the matter with him. Had he lost his wife? Had his business failed him? No, it was neither of these calamities. But he had discovered that his‘father was his uncle and his mother was his aunt (groat laughter). ‘The hon. gentlemen wouldâ€"excuse him if he did not carry the parallel further, but he must say the &ub“c an addressed to the members of the Reform party, which meant that the honorable gentleman assumed to have the .right to address them as their leader, or else it meant nothing at all. The honâ€" oFble gentleman had had Ripâ€"Vanâ€"Winkleâ€" life sleep for fifteen yeers, and then on his awakening, spoke of matters that had occurred in 1836â€"they might as well have been in ‘ 1876)â€"-lnugh:o;3 and imagined that he was mlluthe leader mhe Reform party. But he (Huntington) intended to have left the tmtzg:xt of the hon. gentleman to those who were sitting opâ€" posite lhim, but that he could not sit silent and hear himself singled out as a member :t this P?rlh.gnt who w;l{all;:d with 3: "enians for subverting Government n.m} the interuzu of the counâ€" try. Mo was one of thbse who, in his early boyhood, admired the hon. gentleman for his services to the Reform ° party, and he had come to the House regretting that he ‘ (flinch) had made a mistake, and deterâ€" that he would not by any act or word of his do anything to annoy one whom he regarded rather as a reminiscence than a reality (laughter) ; but when he was himâ€" self singled out as one who must be ruled down, he could sit still no longer. But he would tell the honorable gentleman that in _ making these remarks â€" he was only tnkingh up _ the m&- fiq which he & d mwnm »â€" | He was very much remind iâ€" tion in which some of the memlufom House must find themselves, of a story he once read, written, ho thought, by Mark Hon. Mr, HUNTINGTON said, that but for the extraordinary remarks of the Minâ€" ister of Finance and the Minister of Militia, he would, have avoided any further reâ€" marks on the debate that was going on. When he saw the rrogresa of the &cu.uw n he found a difficulty in believing his own identity. Hecould hardly make himself believe that the honorable gentleman opâ€" posite had come to this country and been elected by the Minister of Justice leader of of the Reform party, and although he had seen some extmoniyinary things done l&oeli he was nout prepared to say filnt the electio was an illeg;timnte one. He would relieve the honorable gentleman‘s mind from any idea that he was going to speak of any private conversation, beeguse he had had no private conversation with the honorable gentleman, but there had been issued to remained long in the Government his abilities and ‘talents would bo acknowâ€" ledged by the country. â€" His opposition to the Finance Minister would appear, no doubt, to be of a personal character. There was no want ofp;luck and ability about him or he would nevor have filled his present position, but it was possibly a proof of his hardihood that he ‘had reâ€" turned here. But the ability of any man would be tasked to the uttermost to fill the oftice mpcrly; but he could not reâ€". concile to his mind the action of the Minisâ€" ter of Justice, and he could. no longer remain a lugyporter of the Government. He thought he would be in a better posiâ€" tion to criticise their actions as an indeâ€" pendent member, for unless ;l):pmd to fully support his criticisms by his votes in the House, the criticism of a Gorvernment supporter must be confined to private reâ€" rmenutiom. But he would not give a LTactious og»posiu‘on. If the Finance Minâ€" ister can bring such a scheme of finance and taxation as.will moet the exigencies of the country, he would not be prepared to throw any obstacles in his way. If he can prove by his future course that he has reâ€" pented of his past errors, and fills the poâ€" sgition worthily, and should rally round him & reasonable section of the Reform party, then ho might receive his ':fl”ni but he did not expect it, and could only watch and wait honor with which ho was now decorate1. The production of the correspondence, therefore, could be of no service to tha country. These attacks by one honorable gentlemen on another were most unfortu. nate. HMe did not venture to predict the course of etents, but thy member for Cumberlang.might yet, to judge by what had taken placeâ€"already, be found sitting at the same Councilâ€"table and sharing in discussions on public policy with the genâ€" tlemen whom he had ,beon attacking, «and it would be unfortunate should the memâ€" ber for Cumberland find that by these atâ€" tacks he had been preparing a stick for his own back. One argument for supporting the Finance Minister was brought up by the Member for Cumberland in Eis own example with respoect to the Secretary for the Provinces. When the Finance Minister ‘could show â€" that he held :.LBower in any of the Provinoes, and ied roundmm a reasonable following, then he.should say to the Minister of Justice.that be had been justified in calling him into the Cabinet and asking them to follow him. But he could conceive of noâ€" thing likely to do more harm to the cause of Confederation than to be compelled to vote for every bad measure under penalty of being declared enemies to Confederaâ€" tion (hear, hear). So far as the other apâ€" pointments were concerned they comâ€" mended themselves to his mind, and he hesitated to express chis opinion ef the Minister of Inland Bevenueoiocwn from the long and close relationship which had existed between them it woulfi be almost like praisng himself to praise him.
