#% } Sir John Macdonald has not resorted to any old cry. In his speech on the Treaty of Washingt m, he simply put the House asid the country in possession of all the in reference to the Treaty. facts comnected with the subject, showing why the Imperial Government desired that we should ratify the Fishery clauses, and then left it to the good sense and good feeling of C:nidians to determine whether it would be either right or politic for us to place ourselves in antagounism to Abe pesple of the Mother Country. Here are his very words:«@ ~ *# England has got the supremacy of the seas, she is impregnaiâ€"le on every point ht.o,uudthu‘r:hlk Canada ; and if England «soes find i; for the good of the AEmpire th=t we, England‘s first colony, abould sacritice something, 1 say that we would be unworthy of our proud position lonwomp:rndtodo-o. 1 hope *to live to see the day, and if 1 do not that my son may be sp:«red to see Canada the right arm«.f Englandâ€"to see Canada « wfilmfl'flyulh‘ Empire, not as a source of anxiety and danger. | And I think that if we are worthy to hold that position as the right arm of England, we should not object woa sicrilice o6 this kind when so great and lasting an object is obâ€" In this portion of his speech the Premier very fairly stated the case. He made no appeal to passion or to sent!â€" ment. He showed whit was the real poâ€" sition, and common sense, as well as logyalty to British connection, can scarcely tail to impel a large majority of the people‘s representatives, to follow. course.recommended by the Govemz \__«â€"â€"Geo.

Certainly it would be difficult to find in all the history of politics @‘a more brilliant specimen of effrontery than that afforded us by Mr. Brown. After having abused the Catholics for long years ; after having applied to them every term of execration which even his lengthy vocabuliry of opprobrious epithets could afford, he now uppears to think that they are such simple minded gullasle innocents, that they can be induced to grasp hinds with correct, inasmuch as if after the concessions which the Imperial Government h :s made we waere to refuse to endorse them, the ;t Saleâ€"A.

We have no doubt that the Freeman correctly represents ithe feelings of the Roman Catholic community in this pro» vince. Once more we congratulate that portion of our fellowâ€"subjects in Ontario upon the renewed vitality of their organ. With the Freeman to give expression to their views, and with such men as th, Hon. Mr. Smith and Mr. O‘Connor to reâ€" present them in the Senate and House of Commons, they have little reason to fear that their interests will be overlooked. Least of all, under such circumstances and with such " tried and trus" friends to attend to their welfare, is it likely that the Ontario Catholics will be driven into an alliance with those who for years have been heaping abuse upon them, and who, to the injury alike of Protestant and Catholic, have labored, and are still laborâ€" ing, to arouse sectional and sectarian ani« mosities.

True to their tormerrecord, they sat like »dumb dogs." Not a word of sympathy for the ~ppressed, not a whisper of condemnation of the oppresâ€"ors escaped their lips. To this very significant fact, we call whe attention of our readers, that they may have a ready answer for those who would fain lure them into the belief that all that is iiberal in politrcs,and just in legislation, is embodied in the Clear Grits whom they are urgently importuned to suppoit. . Uur Untholic triends can easily J-oem which class of men merits most their confidence and esteem,â€"those who openly and tearlessly give expression to their friendly interest in a most vital measure to Catholics, or the loutish bigots who would rob us here, if they coul1, as their ‘gnh" have robbed our coâ€"religionists in New Brunswick, of every shred of rights and privileges which we possess. They will act accordingly. school Act. In commenting upon the debate which occurred in the House of Commons in connection with this su‘.ject our contemporary says : f We notice that the Freeman refors at some length to the action of the New Brunswick Legislature in reference to the change of opinion is so plainly evident. Mr. BA <THEâ€"To incorporate the Sorel may find it convenient to have the gr0s§ insults which they formeriy bestowed upon them buried in oblivion; but does any one suppose that their feel imau amd symnathies hbare altogether upon them buried in ODHVIUN, * * does any one suppose that their feel ings and sympathies have altogether changed, or that in their heart of he.rts they entertain qonfimbcuwut more friendly to the Catholhc party than they did in years past ?

They should feel entirely satistied that before the ‘Treaty was ratified we did not make a mistake, by one fell sweep we should not destroy thohopomdblnnho&u?:‘u of this mnfiz. Holding up ty in his hand, m that here was the hole thmgb which America would get possesâ€" sion of this country. There was ano her important question when â€" looking at the Ireaty ; he thought we had a subâ€" stantial voice in the question, and that Engiand conceded our right to selfâ€"govern ment, but it did not appear the interests of Canada were antagonistic to those of the Empire at lulg: It could not be for the interests of England that we should be humiliated by the Treaty before the world, We were told we were to be wrapped up in swaddling clothes and held in leading strings. the Ministry spoke of Cunada as if she were a minor, and that it u&r was intende 1 we should ox:rlcin our independent jadgm»nt, but Englind recognized our T& f)n ratify the Treaty or not. Why did the Miniâ€"ter of Justice introduce the Bill if we were not to oriticise it? He believed it of the utmost consequence to see what the provisions of the Treaty meant, and looking at the 21st article [Fish and Fish Oils] he maintained it impossible to put any other construction to [make the words refer except to those logulities in which fish were caught within the Dominion. It was the business of the Minister of Justice to see it so framed as not to admit of a doubt, If it was inâ€" tended by this article that the business of tishing should be included it should have been so stated, but this cunstruction could not be sustained. Was it slandering the Minister of Justice to say in this instance Mr. MILLS resumed the debate on the motion tor the second re:ding of the Bill to carry into effect the arovisions of the Treaty of Washington. e said he felt difficulty in discussing the question before the House. It had been ably argued by members on his side as well asâ€" on the Government side. The question was of so much importance that members who mpportoJm Government would scarcely be satislied by the mere record of their votes. Asleaders of the forlorn hope, it was of ths utmost consequence they Hon.

He vhought that if those resolutions had p :ssed our position would not hate altered )nr the worse, and that the expressions they contained had been fully justified by the result. No doubt could arise as to thd exclusive ri._ht of C:nada to the tisheries within the three mile limit; and he was sory the ieader of the Governâ€" ment the other night ha l referred to that miter as one in regard to which the Amé.icans coul: h«ve had _ an« doubt (hear, hear). He thought it was not worth ahile f r the hon. gentleman to have said a sngle word upon that point by way of admiriting that there was a possiâ€" bility of a doubt (he«r) He (Mr. G«lt) dul not propose to follow out the argu ments as to the advantages or disadvan tages of the Treaty, which, as he had said, had been ably argued on both sides of the House _ It was hardly worth while that he should do so. He accepted the statement of the Minister of Justice that the terms of the Treaty had been unaccseptable to him while he was at Washington. Jt was quite clear then that they had been unacâ€" ceptable to him up to a yvery recent peâ€" riod, up to the 20th March last, when the Government had arrived at an underâ€" standing with the Imperial Government, and he (Mr. Galt) thought that fact suttiâ€" ciently explained why Parliament had not been c.lled earlier together and supâ€" plied a resson why the Minister of Justice bad maintained silence: on the question up to within tne past week. It was quite clear that neither the Canadian Governâ€" ment nor their representatiye at Washâ€" ington had liked the conditions of the +reaty or thought they were such as would prove acceptable to the people of Canads, and that up to the 20th Jmmrz.deorm pondence of which the House had only one or two fragments had undoubtedly passed bptmfi mm and the Imperi.l uovernment. He did not think his hon friend at the head of the Govornm::n wr 4 warranted in speaking as strongly as _ he had â€" done the other ni_ht avout the advantage of the. Treaty to Canada, considering and knowing as the House did that up to a very recent eriod the views of the Government had Ecm entirely different. The question had suggested itself to his mind how and what means had produced this change of mind ? . (Hear, beir) What had occurred beâ€" . iween the 20th January and the meeting of this House that h-'f caused the hon. : genJlemaa to change his views as to the advantages and disadvantages of the Treaty, This change hbad certainly not been ‘owing ;o anything in the position England occupied i,n regard to m.fl politics, because‘ that position had | not chinged since the Treaty was signed, or if changed at all it had been for betâ€" ter rather than for the worse. Neither could it have been becayse of any r to ourselves, because plainly if was danger it existed as strongly on the 20th January as at any previous time since the lroity. Nor had the change been caused by any argyment addressed to the Canadian Governmens by Lord Kimberley in the despatch of the 20th June in which the reasons were set forth why the Canaâ€" dian Government should submit the Treaty for the approv«l of this House. Well, be was al.nost «shamed to mention it, ard| he was glad to be able to put it in s pe.stive form, thit these direct. declarations by the three members of the Goveranment who had spoken upon this subject, thit the change had now been produced because of the guarantes. ‘lhat statement had been made, and he was glad it had been dis saliy between England and the Unired Staws, especially when the teeling in the l!atter count y was exasperated againet Englan 1 on accoin of the proceedings that ha l occurred during the war in the south. It was a cause of very great reâ€" gret. indeed, that the Government had not carried out that Eolicy of licenses, with the same vigour they had evinced in c rrying out the policy of exclusion. He ‘believed that by the American Gorernâ€" ment havying become an acquiescing party to the Jic«nsing system, it wouli have been less dangerons to the peace of both countries to have carried out that system vigourously, he might almost say vigour ously, rather than to,h.vounrufl th extremo rights of the country, by enforeâ€" ing a policy of exclusion. lle had venâ€" tured, at the time when the change hai took placeâ€"when exclusion w s substitutâ€" ed for | license, to offer a warning to the Government and the House that the couse they were entering upon was one fraught with great danger. He had then expressed the opinion that it would certainly eventuate in the loss of the headland question, and he had also feared that it would involve us in very serious discussions with the Imperial Govâ€" eroment, if not with the United States. Fhose fears had to a certain extent proved well founded for the discussions with refetence to the Treaty had shewn that the insistance by Canada of her extreme rights to the Fisheries had â€"caused those rights to be mixed up with the general diâ€"cussion of Imperial affairs in a manner that had not giry.n satisfaction to the people of this counity. last year when it was announced that a Commis#icn ‘was to »it at W.shington to consider the rela« tions of the two countriese and to settle. the question between them, and that the: Premier of Canada whs to be a member of . thit Commission, he [Mr. Galt] had ven~ tured to offer certain resolutions to the . House affirming what he believed to be he â€" rights and interests of Canada. In the _ rem rks with which he had _ introduced those resolutions be| had felt it bis . duty to refer to the correspondence antâ€"the interviews that bhad taken p‘ace between Mr _ Campâ€"| bell and Lord Kimberley, and he had ; stated that in his opinion those documents did not fturnish the douse with sufficient assurances that the rights of Canada would be the tirst consideration in the negotiaâ€". tions about to take place. The leader of the Government thought that the passage , 18 %° Q; jected to this po:iicy of concéssion was that under it we were giving away priviâ€" leges which were necessary to our future naâ€" tional and independent exisience, sacrifice what were the sovereign rights of a cjunâ€" try and ‘thereby depriving ourselves of what might afterwards be found essential to our condition ‘as an independent and self.governing people. (hear, hear) In reéjecting this view the «tovernment had taken a course which ought to meet the i;upport of his hon triends on the Opp>»s imon Benches; for they â€"were not preâ€" l pared any more than the Government to a:y that at any future time this country must act for herself. If the questions were o:rm the plain merits of the Treaty he woul4 ohbject to these cl:uses on the same ground that he had tiken last yeur, because he considered thit independence wais better than annexaition. He desired that if the futyre of this country was not to continue the connection with «reat Britain, it should at least be independence of the Unite! States hear, hour ) Nâ€"w, annexition was clearlvy promote 1 by everyâ€" thing yielded to them in theâ€"rights of thiâ€" couniry. It was promoted if we yielded to them by ceding wesritorial right (hear, hear).

From the sityation of Eogl ind‘s Koupuionc on this continent, it was perfectly clear that she not merely ran a risk, in cuse of a rupture with the United States, of her material interests being seriously onda:forod, but she inâ€" ourro: tlgolicqntinfty _mo-l:.:f the griev ous humili«tion of sesing her, possessions overrun and occupied by a hostile power.

Canadian interests in themselve â€", but from strong considerations of Imperial policy. Undoubtedly, the exposed position of her posseâ€"sions had entered deeply into those considerations ; but he denied that upon: these alone had the Treaty been framed, because we in Canada, who had most . to sisk and most to lose .by any outbreak between the twoâ€" Eowerk hid ptessed strongly upon the nglis Government â€"the necessity of _ not ~making . those _ concessions to the United States [(hear, hear ) He boliovgl that we were the cause.

And he wa«s perfe tly ‘ awire also that if that resu t were to folâ€" ow and the {jovernment were defeated he was cert in that from the v ews offered ‘by the mover of the «mendment his curse would be not to proseed with the | Bill himâ€"elf, therefore he thought it was beyond doubt thit the success of the _motion would operate as a gefeat of the Bill. Toen the ground upon which the | gwere prepaired to take a further step. There was no time for deliberation. Neither side of the Houss was preâ€" pired for the responsibility if they rejected the Treaty, and therefore he said no other course was left us but to do our best to perform our dutieâ€" as members of the empire so long as we were so [cheers). The Treaty was unsitisfactory to him, but uotwithstanding that he telt he would not be in the pertormance of his duty, if he we e to attempt to thwart, that which ke beliered to. be ersential to Imperial interests. So long as he was a subjaow, of the Eapire he would endeavour to do his duty to it ; and b'oxgrmly beliered that it was in the interests of the Empire that {DO‘ICO should be preserred with the Inited States.. He equilly firmly believed that it would endanger thit peace if the Treaty were rejectec, and we were to mve the Fishery question once more opened. and believing thit he would certainly this night vote for the Treaty [cheers]. The reason why ha reconciled his vote for the Freaty now with what he had already said as to the impolicy of ceding our rights, woul i be found in the very last clause of of the paper brought down. It was be cause there w is a specific engagement that England would give the notiwoe, and terâ€" minate the Fishery Artioles of the Treaty at the end of ten years if Canada so deâ€" sired [hear, hear]. That reconciled him to the vote he gave to.night. justified him in his â€"«wn conscience [hear, hear)l. He siid «e would be unworthy of thepro tection we had enjoyeaâ€"thiat had »wou_;ht us to our {;n-som position he mght say of national g:e«tness, if we were for any smallâ€" consiieration. any consideration short of our own existence in the country. to withhold what England required of us in this respect [bear, hear. and cheer»]. What did we ao? We coneded more thâ€"n what was now requi ed of us inâ€" 1834 for commercian advanu.ges. _ These were consideratiions of gre»t importance he adâ€" mitted, but still, in oue sense. low con siderrtions ; and to day we were asked 10 give only the same thing or leâ€"s than the unot.hin‘g and only { r the same time. The fact that there was a time when the question de«lt with by this Ireaty would be within our own sontrol, that Great Britain could give notice to terminite it satiglied him thit it was oyr duty to pass the Treaty, He was convinced thet the only thing which we could not control whch bud raised irremediably beyon i our reach was the navigation ot the St. Liw rence, «nd much as he valued that, rather 10 the senâ€"e â€"f maiuintaining our own ex clusive right to it, much as he valued 1it. strict in an ec nomic«l point of view. it did not coacede much to the United States. With that exception everything that was proposed to be done would come again beftore us ten years heâ€"ce. Be:ore thit time aâ€"rived, this country would have graatly increased in populaâ€" tion ans strength. Betore then public opinion would haye ripened far beyond what it now was. selore then, the expresâ€" sions which he had"ventured to make uâ€"s of this night might be the general expresâ€" sions of the country. If they were not s0, then he said it was still more our duty to express our acquiescence in the Treaty, however repugnant it might be to our pride. The wisest thing, thereforp, we could do was to subject ourselves to any terms which En;}and might offer, and to rem«in under her protection, because we would have proved unible to protest ourselves (loud cheers. ) j DIED.
