Sir Juohn A. Macdonald and his Cabinet, have resigned their offices. That they have done wisely, we cannot doubt. Conâ€" stant dropping.will wear away a stone, constant false acquisitions will destroy, for a time at least, any man‘s character ; a long tenure of o@ice begets many eneâ€" mies; to have unstible friends is worse than to have inveterate foes ; all of these evils hwunted the late Ministry, and at last, after having fought a long, a brave, a noble fight, they succumbed, to the force of circumstances. To have gone on, to have forced their friends to give an un« popular vote, would, no doubt, hare been an act of quixotic bravery; but it would *have been eminently bad policy, and Sir John â€" A. Macdonald, in tendering his resignation, acted with that tact which he alw «ys evinces. The Ottawa Cimes Un the opening of the House yesterday, Sir John A.

That might be so when the Commission was issued, reciting the eae betore the llouse, and when the Commissioners thought it well to call upon the hon. member for Shefford to «ppoar before them; he ought to have presented the House with some better argument, with some better foundation for the adviee which he ru on that occasion. _ The hon. gentlioman asked ittle breeze h of lemain were not to be so The bonorable gentleman XHE OTTAWA them to abandon English precedents altoâ€" gether; he saiil that with those new lights of his, they could nfel{l abandon the lights which led our forefathers. _ Al~ thouga he (Mr. Biake) did not pretend to be a Canservative, he was conservative of the priaciples of British liberty, and of the securities of the people. Let .him & give an instance which served at once to show the true course, and to show the falâ€" lacy of the hon. gentlieman‘s argument there. had been cases of the abuse of the rerogative by Ministers; ~cases in which gï¬nineu had gained such force over the Crown to lead the Crown. Ia the time of Xharles first, the Duke of Buckingham wal impeached, and that impeachment had got a certaina distance, in this far that a select committee, embracing many of the mo«t eminent men, had been ap, pointed to prepare articles of charge, some of these articles bad been prepired and some Iroof delivered, when the imâ€" peached Minister induced his Sovereign hurriedly to prorogue the House. Im» medi«tely afterwards the committee of the Commons received a message from a law oflicer of the Crown requesting their jat, tendance by the command of His Majesty. They attended, and having received an intimation that His Majesty was going to take up‘the charges against the Duke, thoey replied that they had undertaken the investigation by command of the House, an i had given in some proofs, The impe.ched Minister, not being satis« fied with this, endeavored to have witâ€" nesses summoned to answer questions, to which these men answered < what they knew they knew only for the House. The King ordered an information case _ wis so strong that reâ€"; port that they would hive been recreant to their duty had they failed to place in‘ Mr. Speaker‘s hind a motion in which the sense of this House might be taken upon it, (Cheers) The Right hon, ‘enu.m though he ramoled trom one subject to an> other in his long discourse and teok _ up topics _ totally _ irrelevant, fuiled altogether to discuss what his hon. friend bad pointed cut to this House as the root of the matter. It had been known in this country before the last general elections, that bribery had assumed alarmâ€" ing proportions ; it had become a serious question with the people of this country, now long a muln Government could : be carried on, long t:o people could be properl 3:-.“01 it continued, those wha dn’nl a fair ranrnaiantation af tha who desired a fair representation of the people, who desired to avoid the moral degradation which resuited from the sule ol the franchise, hai endearored to bring about a chmg:c in the Iaws relating to elections, h # change had been thought of in the oli world, and. fmeasures had been tried for preventing these things, and had proved eminently satisfactory. The right hon. gentleman told them that this election expenditure always had been, and always would be continued. He (Sir John Macdonald) abandoned the hope of ever seeing a fair and an honorable election, a fair represenâ€" tation of the people according to their views and convictions. He (Mr. Bl:keJ not abandon that hope, if he di he would ‘‘despair of the republic ‘ (Cheers.) The fact was, that the right hon. fondmn'n tactics were of the other description. . ‘They had tried the effect of another law in this country. It hid been tried under the right hon. gentleman‘s eyes, it had been tried in the Province of Untario, and he (Mr. Blike) said that while the electiin _ for _ Ontario, in 1867, was a corrupt election, the election for Ontario in 1861 was the purest that had occurred in this country is the la«t five and twenty years,[chsers] Hoe said that this enormous change gave the most convincing proof that it was proâ€" duced by a proper election law ; ana by the course being pursued, which he had always recommended both publicly and privatley, and which he believed was the only course by which a party could suc. ceed, in fairly representing the ï¬ooplo, inasmuch «s having a law by which bribery and corruption could be speedily punished, it scould while keeping its hands clean, spen i what money it chose to spend in the course of the elections by searching out and punishing bribery and corruption on tha part of its opponents. Let them spend what money they had to spend m [ +4 tion tribunale. ‘This was the character of the tribunal which the hon. gentleman imposed uron the country to run the late gemeral ‘election: Un page 119 they would find what the bon. gentleman said when cross examined by his colleague. The hon. gentlemen here quoted from the evidence the cross examination of the Premier by Hon. Mr. Campbell in relation to election expenditures. ‘ Cont.inuini. said now the hon. gentleman told them that during forty years experience of elections, and of the trial of elections beâ€" fore the tribunals of the country during that long exporienoe,\{? had found that tribuaal _ so utterly *vineftective from the nature ot things Jhn the law of the staiu:e book was a deap letter, and was violsted with impunity. Auvd yet they found the hon. gentleman did n »t propO e to°reverse that law, lears ing it on ttu statute book, and determ miged that 1t shouldâ€"retrin a déad letter, (obéers) by refusing the tribunal of judges. Di 1 it lie in the mo‘ith of that hon. gens tlem in, who determined that a machinery for trying elections that ~practically ad« mitted with impunity that large illegal expenditure to frenll. should be conâ€" tinued, did it he to Ins mouth to say that he was fo:ce l into a large expenditure? If there was a large éxpenditure, it â€"was he who caused it ; it was he who forced it. [CUbeers.) He caured it and he forced it by two means. First, by keeping in force a law which was perfectly incapable of reventing it ; and secondly, by bring ing forwar(l those funds. He (Mr Bizke) was uot in the country at the time, and could not say anything about it. But this he knew that he naver expended a1y money ‘in his constituency: thit he never re» quired to expend any money in his conâ€" stituency ; and he dofied the hon. memâ€" ber to defeat hiws (Mr. Blake) there by the expenditure of money. . [Cheers.] The right hon, gentleman was the last man to complain that he had bean foreed into an expenditure of money atelactions. Why: it was the right hoa gentleman who a liitle while ago, at the commencement of list session, wis +0 impressed with the importance of keeping within the law that he would pot this [{ouse to render justice to tha people of West Peterborough. [Cheers.] who told this House that they must not temporarily seat the member who had a maj>rity of the votes but that they must the courts, and then if the elections + > not pure, they would gain by the cou»~ quences of the corruption of their opâ€" ponents. [Cheere] These were the prinâ€" ciples upn which the elections of 1871 were conauctéd in (ntario and these were the principles upon which the elections of 1872 would have been conducted, if the right hon. gentleman would have ‘ adopted this law, (cheers). Although the right hon. gentleman had told them the year bofore last that the election tribunais were sat sfactory tribunals, the hon. genâ€" tleman hed told them in his own evidence that _ they were not ; _ and . he (Mr. Blake) knew of no case in which a public man had been so eampletely and unequinosll,u;ndomud out of his own mouth. He admitted that for a long period he had known of a series of cor« rupt practices at elections on account of a law for which he was himself responsible, which he himself had continued, and on account of a tribunal which he had estabâ€" lished and upheld. (Cheers.] He said that expenses for teams to bring the electors to the polls and for refreshments i were illegal. Yet every one didthis and no contention was made againsiitfin the eleoâ€" l soat a man who had not a majority of tie votes; but had been rejected by tha people, because, he said that the election committeo was‘the sailvation of the House. But now the honorable gentleman pro« posed a new commission. He proposed by his new commission to sweep aside his old tribunal, and to appoint a perambus lating commission of three juiges, and who were to go about the country from constituency to o>nstituency searching out iniquities, He (Mr. Blake] would like if the bonorable member did anything, that he would provide some more speedy mode of doing jastice, than would be proâ€" vided by a .;p:n.mbulsung oomnlxlucx which weut about untry. .. ‘ honomï¬o gomï¬}g’ a?.? appoint this commission he would of course take the Ministerial congtituencies first, and would allow the Opposition to point out the order of their going. That proposal was thrown out to take this House away from the true business before the House. There was nothing approsching consistency in fthe argument which the homorable ï¬endomn he#t _ presented to the ouse. When the hopvorable genâ€" tleman _ made _ his mponl the would discuss it. . The goeu.mnz complaned of the failure of committees ; t»utgo had been respons;ble for continuâ€" ing them. . _ Was he the man to complain and who had refused them a court which would have acted promptly. . Theâ€" hon. gentJeman ouzhs to have abstained for very shame. (Cheers) The hon. gentlioman said that he had been forced to this ex. penditure, by expenditure on the part of the Upposition, en the part of the hon. . member _ for Lambton, who ~. seemed to hare found some silver or gold mine, which the hon. entleman had not pointed out. He (Mr. %lnke) hed proved . that > the hou. gentleman‘s scheme â€" was concocted when he proposed to carry it out. _ He (Mr, Blake) would e that the hon gentleman intended mpond money and intended to spend money hr{oly. Befor he and Sir George Cartier left Ottawa to commence the elec. tion ounrd;n, before the writs were isâ€" sued, before the difficulties had arisen, the hon. gentlieman was already in pre» paration to obtain means to corrupt the constituencies, _ The hon. ‘entfaun then quoted from page 104 of the Royal Commission report, the statement of Sir John, commencing ‘when Sir George Carâ€" tier and 1 parted in Ottawa.‘ At this early day betore these two dollars for one had becn talked of, he had seen _ that to carty Ontario it would want more than his personal pme&mmoro, than his personal influence, more the patroâ€" nage of his Government, more than the arguments which he could freely address in the face of day to his electors. (Cheers ) Yes, it would require more. 1t would require Sir Hugh Alian‘s money. (Cheers.) But not tir Hugh Allan‘s money alone. They heard hon. gentlemen say only forty~ five thousand dollars ; what was forty»â€"five thous=nd dollars ? l‘ld the hou. gentle man contend that this was all he got ? No, he said that be got more. He said that he got for these pum- other amounts which were not in slightest degree montioned in the evidence, This was a part only, a part of the fund which was obtained by an abuse of the trust ani power of Government, in order to help out the political subscriptions of their friends. (beers ) At that time, as the ested in all the enterprizes which the Govrernment had been promoting, t others, the Pacific Railway. He knew :st Allan wi«s interested in that enterprise, and of Allaen he thought He said that Sir (isorge Cartier was going to Montrealâ€" And it must be borne in mind that instead of Sir Hugh Allan being ready to siell out, as the hon. geatieman had elsewhere de« scribed it, be ‘had formed a combination which would have enabled him to ruin the G verament of the day unless they yielded to his terms. [Cheers.] That great contractor, that powerful man had got himself into such a position, that his word would be accepted by a large num« ber of lealing menr and intenAing ‘candiâ€" dates whether they should give or withâ€" draw their confidence from the Minissers of the day. At thae moment he was exerâ€" cising that infl .ence in an unfriendly spirit again«t the Government of the day, beciuse they were n »t yielding to his views at tha: momeat he wis sowing discord in the ranks of the Ministerisl supporters, and was making his ppwer felt. Ho wis not as the hon. gentleman hat called him a friend, he was far from a friend. He was willing ard being hnest enough,if any one could believe, that there was any honesty about Sir Hugh Allan, not to profess any political convictions, he was willing to sell his influence and o support the Govern. Prims Mivister cnnfessed he tho'nï¬tof Alian. He knew that Allan was inter« ruined ; he was ready to calm the tempost that he had raised, NOVEMBER 6 153 â€" There were some inaccuracies in them ; but they were not such inaccuracies as affected their substantial truth. But as no one else seemed to «ay a good word for Sir Hugh Allan, he (Mr. Biake) would say that he did not believe that Sir Hugh Allan was lying to his American partoers in these letters, ss the hon. gentieman opposite said. Ihe hoa. gentleman found that their friend Sir Hugh Allan was raisâ€" ing an untriendly feeling again:t them on stim ; _whic :g}ag::togg oltar spant bhylrh‘xlgr?vo?xï¬ have worked their ruin ; ‘That great in« fuence had to be propiuated, Sir Hugh Allan _ had to be consulted ; _ ani the ~honorable â€" gentiaman ~endsayoured to make an arrangement with Senator Macpherson, and saw him in Kingston about the first of July, and he shortly after telegraphed to Sir George Cirtier that the influence of the G:overnment, the power of the (Government was :the word ured in Sir George Cartier‘s letter to Sir Hugh Allan, the words seemed to be synonymous to the hon. gentiema@n, would he was willing to turn over hen nyan if only he oousld secure, the qt::,j:t?ro;i?' | desire ; and what thit object was, w,::l pretty easy to be seen. . He [ Mr, B‘lee]’i was not going to discuss the question whether Sir Hugh Allan‘s letters were evidence in the crse. . Ha thought that any lawper would aimit thit any letter written freely and frankly at the time, when a transaction took place, which was _not explained away, or coutradicted on oath, was the very best evidence, in tha event of the fa.ilingrmonery and changed desires, to which Hugh Allan contessâ€" ed, of what his views and inclinations rwou. He quite admitted that a hostle witness might be brought to such a point as to establish the falsity of his own letters ; but if they wished to establish _ the falsity of _ his letters they must not treat him in the tender manner in which Sir Hugh Alian had been treated; and in each particulir in which there was a failure to obtain a denial they must take such particulars to be true, (cheers ) It was impossible by a statement, that the letters were written in the confidence and freedom of private istercourse, and were inacourate in in nay details, such as Sir Hugh Allan had made to answer the stern demand of justice, any man who said this did not say that his letters wore false. These letters of Sir Hugh Allan‘s bore all the marks of truth, be sused to secure for Sir Hugh Allan the presidency of the company. But Sir Hugh Allan wanted something more. What that somethiug more was had been pretty clearly explained by the hon. gentlemen Hewanted only this, that in orse the amalgamation should fail, the contract should be given to his company, whereas the position of the right hon. gentleman Was that there ought to be a new company formed. He (Mr. Blake) told them that the purposes of Sir Hugh Allan might be quite as well answered by the formation of a new compsny. as if the Canada Pacific Company had got the contract. What he wanted was the conâ€" trol, and therefore if he hid a reasonable expectition of getting the control that was sufficient. (Cheers.) It would be in» convenient for the Government to have given any phdï¬thn the ojntract would be ;given to the Quebsc Company, and thérefore in this particular alone, comâ€" paratively unimportant, Sir Hugh Al:lan wanted more. _ Sir llugh Allan got more, he knew not what the truth was, but this he did know, that this was & point on which the Commission had performed their iduties in a perfunctory manner. . In the report of the proceedings they saw two letters from Sir George Car« tier, and in the longer letter expressly stated, ‘‘Dear Sir Hugh, I enclose you copies of telegrams received from Sir John A. Macdonald.‘"‘" The House would see that the pleural was used. It was clear that there was more than one telegram, which it was necessary and proper to exâ€" hibit to Sir Hugh as part of the authority on which action was to be taken by Sir George Cartier. But one was produced, and no question was asked of thoseâ€"three gentlemen in explanation of what that telegram was, which was thought material enough to be stated as the authority on which that letier was written. . What were they to contend from this? Were they to say in the face of this plain, palâ€" pable failure on the part of the Commis~ d;::l pu:l do :{mi;:luty; in thuaoe of this p e failure on the part of a minister g:nkly and freely to explain everything. Were they to say that the bottom of this matter had been reached 1 mark another failure of justice. Who drew the original draft of the letter and who wrote it out? _ It was the hon. mem. ber for Argenteuil; but of the man who knew, the man who wrote the letter, who was a _ leading lawyer, not one question was asked from bim. He was no, asked what was meant by the expressiont « Your Csmg.y," and why ? It was beâ€" cause they w perfectly well he must have mwe:gi the Pacific Railway Comâ€" pany. He d demonstrate by the let. ters themselves what was meant. The let« ters were prepared by the same person at the same time, and the same phrase was used in both. Now,there was a rule of eviâ€" dence known to professional men that when a phrase was used at one moment and was used again at the next, it had re« ference to the same thing. Both in the longer and shorter letter they found the expression, " Your Company‘ used. Now, the whole evidence in respect to these two letters demonstrated that they were one transaction. A conference took place beâ€" Were they to say, as the hon. gentleman munda{ that the inference they were to draw must be a favoursble inference tween the member for Argenteuil, Sir "‘;&3.“::: .‘t‘:msuuh‘r::n o pro. ap were proâ€" duced and '.Lay formed the subject for discussion, Sir Hugh wanted something more definite, Sir George Cartier was willing to gire bim something more definite, backed up how« ever, as the astute contractors lmfnod it lhouldbo,wflu authority of the first Minister. hen it had been agreed that for the purpose of reducing them to writ, ing during the interval, its transaction should be completed at a subsequent inâ€" terview, Sir George Cartier suggested the subject of the elections ; before he hbad put his hand to this paper, while he yet remaingd in a position where he and his Government might have done even handed justice in the matter of the conâ€" tract, while yet the matter was in susâ€" pense, while yet an unfavorable answer would have crushed Sir Hugh Allan‘s prospects, and a favorable answer was necessary to his success, Sir George asked Sir Hugh if he would not do something for the elections, and Sir Hugh told him to put the amount in writing, and Sir George afterwards â€"suggested that Mr. Abbott should write the letter and bring it back with the other. They went away, these two worthies to concoct their ins iquity (cheers) and they returned again to Sir George Oartier together. The bargain these three gentJlemen could strike it, and yet _ men of _ sense declared that these two letters were not m:;to"fh ona Mb He would not e House by arguing against any #such pretensions. [Ci“m] The hon. gentleman alle however, that this barâ€" gain was re and that the letter of the 30th of July, was withdrawn. He [Mr. Blake] entirely denied the fact. He entirely denied the fact, and he undertook to prove to the satisfaction of any man whose mind was not élosed to argument that the letter of Sir George Cartier, of the 30th of July, was not withdrawn. (Cheers ) It was done, if done at all, by the two telegrams, He again alluded to omissions on the part of the Commissionâ€" ers in cross examining, and said that ques~ tions should have been pressed to draw forth an explanation in mï¬rod to the ele. gram which was missing. letter which was withdrawn was that of Sir Hugh Allan to Sir John Mscdonald announcing the arrangement entered into with Sir George Cartier. The evidence of Sir Hugh Allan showed that the letter of Sir George Car« tier had never been withdrawn. Un the ath of August, Sir Hugh Allan attended a public meeting and this arrangemet was ndv;tbd to. Sir Hugh who, had fo:ml: his duty to raige up a party in oppositi suddenly saw the wisdom vglch had was _ concealed ? brought in Manitoba and other Provinces, { illegal expense and the wisdom of other acts of the Gov. | the hovr. gentle ernment and was prepared to sustain Nir | time $53,000, & George Cartior. Let gim read the addres | t ‘«gr:iphed fo of that gentleman to the electors of Mon«a | ventleman had treal. He said that they were aware two ; rival companies wers centending for the | railway ; that the policy of the Govern | ment was to have an amaigamation of thes: | two companies ; that the terminus was to b ~|â€" at or near Like Nipissing ; that measures t . ‘| secure the amaigamation were alreaiy i) |/ progress ; that Sir George Cartier coincid 4| / with him in all these points ; and in the | basis of an arrangement which he would | submit to bis colleagues they wou!ld be kept carefully in view. There was a public declaration alongside of Sir George Cartier which indicated the outlines of an | agreement which had been made. Hs| went on to say, of course they knew thit it was only the basis of an arrangement, but he was satisfied that if the views of Sir George Cartier were adopted y the Government, the interests of thit city would be looked after, whils the interests of other districts woull not be overâ€" looked, and there was no time to be lost in getting the charter signed, and that the | statement that he was contending as much for the line of steamships as in the Pacitic Railway was a mistake. He (Mr. Biik~) was afraid he would have to revract some | of the observations which hbe hi made with reference to the statements of sir Hugh Allan. It had beensaid that he got nothing, that the Presidency was nothing. What did Mr. Macpherson think ? Did he think it was all the same whether he was at one end of the thirteen gentlemen or tie other? His course and h:s evidence showed that the question of the Presiâ€" dency was the question, and the «@ irse of Sir Hugh Alian proved the same thing. He fought them until he got thit, and when he Eot that be turned round nnj helpea them. me gou nis te.ms an he _ gave his price _ His bargain was oue also _ which _ saw him safe without the expenditure. He made 3 cont act with the Americins, by . which the Americazs were to advance ‘tén pérfâ€"cent, and the first protits of the enterprise ware ty be used in recouping the gentlemen who had made that advance. ‘lhen it became neâ€" cessary to hive preliminary expenses ; and the bon. gentliemin had said that $40,000 was not much for preliminary ex« nses in this enterprise; he congratuâ€" r:tol him upon his idea of purity and merality in such cases. But Sir Hugh Allan was not g ing to mike this expenâ€" diture, they mie an arringement under which he was provided with that amuniâ€" tion. Again ir Hugh Allan relis the Americauns that he bas an offer from England, but thinks he on do better withthem ; und this sh>wed, and the whole of his evidence showed that this was a mere money transaction with him. The First Minister stated that he was res» pousible for the agroemente between Sir Hugh Allan and Hir George Cartier. He rej»ced to hear that declaration because a diflerent opinion at one time was exâ€" preseed. How was the money obtiined which gave the First Minister his supâ€" porters for Ontario and Quebec ? 1t was obtained by Sir George Cartier at his (3ir John Macdonald‘s) investigation, for be fore Sir George Cartier left ttawa he was toli by the First Minister to go to Sir llugh All«n, and things were made right by tqe Crown of certain rights and privi« leges. The First Minister had said that the telegram of 26th July, was despatched before there was any t«lk about money. That however was not so. The converea, tion in Ottawa was long before that; the First Minister said he had to Tan Sir George Cartier and Sir Hugh Allan be‘ore nny arrangement could be _ made. That _ telogram _ was not connected with the question of money. Some people had said that Sir Hugh Allan‘s money was a subscription. . The use of the werd recouped mt once to disposed of that argument. It was perfectâ€" ly plain that the reason that document given by Sir Geerge Cartier was framed as it Jwas, was becau«e Sir Hugh Allan wanted the Government to be under an obligation to him, and be his bond slaves. He did not expect to get back the money, but he knew tgal by getling thit receipt, he could get consideration for the money â€"the contract. (Cheers.) The whole of these documents were{partiof aplan which the Ministersâ€"owing to the necessities of the Government, when finding themselves neelingSirHugh Allan‘s power and wealth had laid down in order that there might be no mistake or misunderstanding after« wards is to the price they were to give for that they were receiving. The House then took recess. - AFTER RECESS. Mr. BLAKE continued his -lreeoh. He proceeded to show that Sir Hugh Allan was acquainted with the policy of minisâ€" ters not in exterior but also in interior matters, and that this interest was not a political interest, but those of a contractor for the railway. What have we‘to do with the question as to what Sir Hugh Alian got? We have largaly to do with the bar. gain made between the Ministry and sir Hugh Allan. It might add to theirinfamy if they prevented him from gaining that which they agreed to givre but it would not justifly them. Men placed in high cery. lis defence, Mr. Blake said, was that he did not sell the office, but ‘ only received presents from those appointed thereto, and it was so with Gevernment, they did not sell the contract, but they took presents from the person to wh .m they agreed to give the contract. [Cheers ) Was that sum of $162,000 a resent? Why, it was asked for, stipu« nlod for, implored for, m for in every thape and way.

Was that a free gilt from an ardent poliâ€" tical _ person _ to _ his _ foremost chief and _ leader. Why it :; reposterous to outrage 5:ulliguoo of any ordinary man with such as that put forward by the mu-uz; The Government were trustees for t | public of the powers to bestow that gre«t contract. They had insisted on obtaining from Parliament extraordinary and un L"“‘““â€d powers of administration. proportion to the important character of the trust and the responsibilities which they had taken on their shoulders, 1t be came necessary that they should act with the most jealous regard for the public in« terest, the most jealous exclusion of all private interests and of everything which might dm them from forming a free, unprejudiced determination in 05:0 public ingerests with which they had to do. It is a well known rule that you may not make your interest conflict with your duty. Hed the money beex; obtained tt::afol: legitimate purposes for paying rea! lawful expenses of candidates at elections, but that would not help the Government. The Government eocls not even if the roluic;l position have been before driven rom power and place. _ Advarting t2 the impeachment of Lord Bacon, Mr. Blake read the two petitions on which the impeachment was _ based and then quoted the cise of Lord Macclesâ€" field, anotber Chanceller who was im« peached for selling m,aur_s_hip'o in _chu. :geoaddinndbyunhm. Minister to e electors of South Perth, of which he affirmed that he knew nothing of apy purposes for which the mone; were obtained by unlawful means or from unlawful sources. But no man could preâ€" tend that that money was for legitimate expenses. The evidence of the Prime Minister was that it was only for that purpose. He was asked what were the chief exrmu, to which he replied that the chief ware for team hire and treat* ingâ€"both illegal. ‘The First Minister did not pretend to say ° that the took care that none of that money was spent in this way or in others more corrupt. He Mr. Bi«ke chirged the colleagues of the First Minister with having had something to do with the expenditure of money, but he never supposed . that the Minister who was campaigning through the country did o:::tflhmg else thin to lend a gross sum to "to be applied where it would do most good, which was a term with which we are all becoming familiar.

Bince the first Minister had idverted to English opinion, Mr, Bl.ke recommended him to lovk at the tone of the English . He was not one of those who bowed m to English opinion, whether the opinion of the law, officers of the Crown or of the newspaper press, but no man could don{ that upon the plain facts. The great bulk of the press of the county would give us a fair indication of the opimion of that nation as to the politicar morality of any particular trausscuor. You could have uo better test of maw.

If the House wanted to keep up the connection it must throw him out unless he did so, and so tell the world, that the country was govâ€" erned by the same laws of political moral« ity which prevail in England.

But, all said and done, there ""fl"" element of ‘truth, especially ing the quarter from whence it came, in the statement of the Prime Minister. He would allow that Minister to settle that with his own followers, but he could not take for granted the bop. gentleman‘s statement. Hedid, on the contrary, believe that there were honourâ€" able members who had not taken this show that Ministers would reply that these gentliemen had themselves taken their share of the money, and which he had ‘o~ deed obtained for them, and that it was too late for them now to oom&hin.
