CAMERONâ€"Desired to say a few words in reference to the remarks of the Secretary of State for the Provinces with regard to his hon. friend the member for West Durham, the other night. He wished to do so because he did not concur in those remarks. He did not think it judicious on the part of any member of the House, and especially one hbolding the office of a Minister of the Crown, to endeéâ€" vor to draw illustrations from the profesâ€" sion or occupation of any gentleman who happened to hold a seat on the flvor of that House, and as a member of the same profession as his hon. frient for Wes: Durham, he thought those remarks should not have been made. While he (Mr. Cameron) was a humble supporter of the Government he did not desire to be a sup z:rnr of statements of that character, and thoutht it due to the hon. gentleman to give hrs own expression of opinion in relerence to a matter of this knd: With regard to the Treaty itself, betore ente:ring into & discussion on its variou« points, io might be ailowed to 21y a few words about one upon whom the eyes of all Canada were fixed, in whom ali Can ada had the greatest possible interest, and in whom, he ventured to say, the greatest part of Canad« h«d the most imâ€" plicit faach and reliance.;§HHe referred to the gentleman who was entrusted . no: only as a negotiator, but as the represen tative of the Empire, and of Canada as « part of :t. He wf-om every one had been acustomed to see, and whom he (Mr Cameron) had been permitted to foll 1w« a= his leader for so many years. Probaly there was no member of the: House myp: e entitled to spesk of that. gentleman than he (Mr. Cameron\. They had been friends for more than half the term allotted to ‘ man, they had been at school together and had been in the Government 0t Cinâ€" ada in the freshness of their youth, more than a quarter of a century ago, and from that year to this, although their posi.ions hid been very difterent, he (Mr. Camâ€" eron) had been always his political fo!â€" lower, and had endeavored always to be his t=ithful friend, and be believei there were very few among those who had b« en his friends, followers and supporte:s du ring thit long period of years who were not his friends and supporters now. Taere could hardly be a higher compih: ment paid to any man than th:t hbe could have held the posmion he hat beld duâ€" ring the muny years past, and he felt comâ€" pelled to say it because vrituperations had been poured upon him, becsuse heartless ettacks bad been macde upon his charac ter and houor, vecause they ought to reâ€" mind themselves of his services anl of hi« worth to the country. They all knew, every one of them, and he (Mâ€". Cam eruon) recollected well the time when he tirst came so prominently to the front. They all might have looked through their own party in and out of politics, and could not have found a single man his superior, and in the Upposition party they could not ind a man bis superior nor his equal. During all those years he had carried out those measures which he considered were tor the good of the country, in many } e (Mr. Cameron) did not concur, but in many he had agreed, and of all men com petentâ€" to deal with the affairs of this country be nad always considered there was no one so competent as \he [<ir John.] He (Mr. cameron} had seen his skill ana «bility at all times, and under all circum Disastrous fires are raging in the woods i;“l;‘moylmia and ‘the S:ate of New 1hmh-buuu$oub:mh in the Erie Canal near Albany. party may serve to make the contest closer than it would otherwise have The Imperial Parliament had adjourned for the Whitsuntide holiday‘s. : The Empress of Germany left England yesterday. S The London, journals of yésterday have leading lnlglu on the Washington Treaty. s f * As for Mr. Greeley we do not presume I that there are many persons, even among [hh own friends, who seriously expect that he will ever occupy the White House. Mr. Greeley possesses many useful and kindly qualities, but his warmest admirers can hardly claim for him the possession of any real statesmanlike qualities. It does not follow that because a man has disâ€" tinguished himself as an editorial writer that he is as a natural sequence fit to be President of the United States, Mr. Greeley‘s egotiem and extreme bigotry would in themselves render him unfit for the Presidential office, and, honest and true as we believe him to be, we should at the same time regard it as a misfortune were: he elected in November next to that important position. ‘The indicatins at present are that President Grant will be reâ€"elected, although the split which has taken place in the ranks of the Republican Spanish troops are concentrating on the North Western frontier to give the finishing blow to the Carlist rebeliion. nal, and no doubt the fact that those claims are now withdrawn, will be taken advantage of by his antagonists and a how! of indignation will go up trom the Democratic masses. But there are honeâ€"t and enlightened men enough in the United States to sustain him, and to feel that when President Grant discovered he had made a mistake and assumed a false position, the bravest and most manly thing he could do would be to withdiraw from it. One objection raised to President Grant is that he never makes any speechesâ€" The Democrats of the United States cviâ€" dently do not believe that in his case S# silence is golden.‘" Yet oratory is not by any means an indubitable evidence o‘ admuinistrative ability, as the history of some of their own greatest men will serve to prove. Washington only once attempted to make a speech, broke down, and had to give it up in confusion: Jefferson was equally unsuccessful as a public oratcr and the same remark applies to N«poleon and many celebrated men of other nationâ€" alitie=. It is probable, indeed, that Preâ€" sident Grant‘s reticence will stand him in good stead at the next election. .Some of his acts may be brought up against him, but his speeches certsinly canuot. | Ontario Grits, we believe that be is an | honest man ‘d\:'rth much determinaâ€" I tion of purpose, with a pertinacity and | strong, inflexible will, which, when he : thinks be is in the right, embluhnnw, bold an undeviating course. No far as ‘President Grant is concerned, the Cuwl dians have not, on the whole, any special reason to dislike him. y, ]Wo might, perhaps, have expected someâ€" 'thing better from him two years ago when | the Fenisns made & raid upon Canada. | | But in connection with the late ‘negotiz | tions between Great Britain and the| United States for the preservation of inâ€" I ternational peace, we have the best reason | to believe that President (.;I-nt acted a manly and friendly fpart ; that he was animated by a sincere desire to effect an adjustment of all pending disputes if posâ€" sible, and that from first to last he acted in a manner worthy of his righ position as ’ the head of a great and an enlightened Christian nation.

This w« the first ouse whe e a Mimster ot, the Cro#+n in a colory had been asked 0. required to deal with Imâ€" perial interests. it wias true that at the ume of the revolutionary war Mr. Henry Jswâ€"l4, a gentleroan engaged in th : . nadian tr.de, h.d been appointed a pleâ€" nipotentiary to negotiate th: terims of a "._ AFTER RECKSS ‘| Hon. Mr. HILLYARD CAMERON re | sumed his speech, saying that the points | connected with the Treaty which did not refer in aoy way whaitever to the clauses | reserved for th s consideration of this Par ii1ment were the navigition of the (St. | Lawrence and the Fenian invasion. He did not ‘propose to. ignore either one or | the other ot these points; but a« far as t.e House was called upon to vote or act the measure waus simply in reference to | those articles of the ‘Treaty which could | not go into . peration until ratitied by the Canadian Legislature. Now, at the roor of the matter lay the quesiion as to the power given to the gentlemen on the commission, whether it was solely Imâ€" perial or partly Imperial and partly Canaâ€" | dian. No one who examined international |law or who endeavored to ascertain principies upon which â€" all diplomacy rested, could â€" hesitate to acknow ledge thit in the negotiation of treaties there could be no império in imperiumâ€" that there could be no branching out from the Imperial Government of the Colonial relation, and that there could be nostateâ€" ment of the colonial relation without the eonsent of the other contracting party beâ€" 'Icmu if there were there would be two contracting parties as regarded one portion of the Tresty, and only one contracting part as regarded the other portion, He thoughit the argument was perfectly clear that the Commussioners could only act upon the instructions of the Imperial Govâ€" ernment, even if their powers were of the most plenary character. it was also clear, that no matter what might have once been the doubt upon the subject, a treaty was not binding upon the countries negoâ€" tiating it, until it was it ratified.| There never was a case tefore like this: the whole of history might be searched and and no case could be found in which there was a Colonial representative on an imper ial Commission, that representative being a minister of the Croxn in a colony where rights were claimed irrespective of the ; Imperial power. From the earliest history of gdiplomacy the only instance at all apâ€" proaching it, that was in any respect similar, was the Ashburton Treaty in 1842, when the States of Marina and Massaâ€" chusetts claimed that the absolute pro prietary rights of one and part of the sovereign _ rights of the other could not. _ be alienited . withoct their consent; but these _ States | had not sent independent Commissioners to negotiate the treaty, nor did they claim to do so; all they claimed was thit by the lundamental law of the United States no [on.ion of the territory of any State in the Inion could be t«ken awâ€"y without the consent of that State; and that whitever Great Britain and the United States might agree to do in that respect cou:d not be tinally consummated without their consent. F‘he raie was perfecily clear, tihat Commisâ€" sioners appointed to negotiate a treaty were «xacily on the fooiing of plenipo tentisries ; they were bound to act on instrucrions, and if they disregarded them, theyiwere li:«ble to h.re their acts repuâ€" diated and themselves disgraced Upon | this point he red from Demartens to the effect that a plenipotentiary was only an agent of the Government he represented, hit he could neither direct, nor act, nor | agree upon anything without the authority | of his Government, and that it he dit bis 1 liovernment was at liberty to repudiate | his acts even slithough he had full power. | The same writer, one of the best upon | / diplomacy, whose every word was entitlea | to consideration and whose reputation was |/ not only European but world wile, referred | Also to the po:ition of diplomatic »4gents. || He (Mr.Cameron) read from the origin«l | Freuch, amid applause from the Quebec | members, to the effâ€"ct thait n> agent | appointed by a Government had a right to |â€" refuse to act after he had accopied his Uommisstion unless the Governtpent roâ€" || fused to give him instructions in a case in || which be did not see his way clearly o>|| unless the Government gave him instruc .\ tions to act contrary to his hnoc and |! patriotism. It ‘hid been said that the | first Minister might hive withdrawn from (â€" the Commission, ‘but under the authority |‘ he had quoted the only ground ue could |! have taken as an agent of the Imperial | | Woveryment wis to have attached his |! signature to the Treaty if h> had been so | pewe, but A{r.

Frince Edward | l land «nd Newtoundlaud, and that the | views expressed in the English House of , | Lords were entirely mistaken, and that in reality the Mamitime Provinces were 1 |tavor of the ‘Treaty. ‘This reciprocity | in _ fish and _ trade _ bad existed {before, it |existed trom 1786 to 1818, now wecaus: we had not so wide a range ol commoditiee free, we had in aldition a money grant. It was said th.t this money grant was dishonorable. _ Let them examiue that for a moment, It was | not dishonorable to exchange one ariicle | orâ€"commodity for another. They hai the treaty trom 1854 to 1856, and no one tnought it dishonorable to have the proâ€" ducts of our country introduced into the United States duty free. Supposing that at that time â€" there had been a: balance of commodities tocome from them to us, would anyone have thought it dishonor. able if we had provided ‘tor that balance by a money arrangement ? And now we say that as. the rnights we give. to them ae greiter than the rizhts they give to us, we are entitled to a money compensation. There was nothing dis honourable to us, nothing contrary to u:age. or that the United States themâ€" selves have not done. There were genâ€" tlemen who ssemed most anxious to carry the honour of England about with them, and who thought loyalty must exist in their hearts because it was always on their |â€" lips, and who â€"were constantly offtering ; themselves as most pure, while tho:e | : arouned them did not always think that | : the purity existed, and <these gentlemen || stated that the monevy compensation was | a dishonourable thing, while such transâ€"| i actions were of so recent a date #s to be | withen the memory of men in || the House. The treaty of 1842, by Lord | i Ashburton, was one of the stron:est inâ€" ; | stances on record of the session of : terriâ€" | t torial rights for money, and also for the | : "‘cession of other rights, similar to the | Fenian claims, for money ailso, By the | ] Freaty of Ghent, it was determined that | i the North Kastern Boundary of the United | : States should be setvied by Commissioners, | 1 and it the Commissioners shou} 1 not agree, | C it was to be reterred to a friendly power | to decide.

What was the history of these tisheries? They wereacts connected with the ftisheries. If they looked into it they found that the Unite 1 Siates buid rights in them ftrom 1783 to 1818.

Un both sides of the Houselast ses ion it had been stated that the Commisâ€"ioner should not be fett red by insurd#tions and that he shouli be left entirely free and untramelled in his action. The House had taken this course tor the best of rea: sons, because it could give no instructivns which could in:erfere with the instrucii ns of the Imperial Governmen:, and becaue the power likely to be exercised over bim by the Iniperiâ€"l ‘Government was a power is | Lransactions so entirely dishonorable thit id | territorial rights were never to be paid for r, | by money ?

There were ‘miny other inâ€" s‘&ices in which the United States bought territory ; they‘ ‘bought Florida, and indeâ€"d almost all their territory wiâ€" «cquired in that way, and although they clumed to be the highest and best dis posed as to the rights of the people.: they have never found it degrading or dishon orable to pay money for territorial rights. England‘s own: transactions were of the sime character.

Ewployment was thus given‘to the cooper and laborer in prepa«râ€" ing these fish for export, and as the busi. ness was mostly prosecuted in the winter months when other <employment was difficult to ontain, it always proved a great buon to the industrious puot.

It looked too much like " cutting of the nose to =e revenged of the _ lace." The value _ of articles suppled in this way was very | large. and the revenue, as well as the inâ€" habitants, wis benefitted by it, whilst the only injury that would be done t the Americans by prohititing the traie, was to oblige them to bring the sapplies with them from bhome, or drive them to P. £. Island where every possibe facility was anxiously given them. He bad under stood that, until the Treaty w# raiied, it was the intention ‘of the Government to prevent Americin veseels from landing their catch in the ports of the Dominion, He much doubted the wisdom of that reâ€" surictiâ€"n. 1t might be all well cmr if t r1ey were not permitted to do so in P. K. Island. That Island lay almost in the centre of the fishing grounds, and there they were allowed to take all the supplies they might require, and land ~ theur fish, wlhuech wis reshipped in the American gtoamers that plied wee&ly between Char, lotretown and Boston. Nuch action on the ;f.m‘t of the Gover nent would hardly orm any restrictri a to the Amerizns, while they had P. E. Island open to them, and would only deprive our people of the Strait of Canso, and 0 her harbors in Nove Bootia of the advantage of the storage and: labor attendant on the landing of the cargoes, and our vessels of the benelt of the freighting of them to the United States.
