6 CQU:N RY LOR PERT He HERALD) in. England, where a high politicalmorality pre- vailed... He proceeded: .to argue that there was no parallel between Judge Hagerman's appoint- ment and Mr, Sicotte's, the statements of hon. gentlemen, opposite to the contrary notwith- standing... 'Mr. Hagerman: was attorney-general at the time, and not in opposition, as. messrs, Holton, and Brown asserted, but was conducting goyernment business under Lord. Sydenham, who elevated him to the: Bench according. to practice. He had not time to enter the House, much less vote on the motion then pending. With regard to the. elevation of Hon. J. B. Roblin, he would not attempt to justify it, but would merely say that this appointment, which was of a character to be quoted as a reproach twenty years after the event, should be a war- ning to this House and Government. And, as the above appointment was now qtioted, so would that of MY Sicotte's in all 'future tim being 'the cortuptest act ever committed ry a pure administration, as being an'act- unequalled inspolitical atrocity--one that could never hap- pen in England, or any place where tho English [Cheers.]; Had the government been a corrupt government, or one constitution was in. force, composed of such worn out'political hacks as honourable gentlemen opposite had talked of, there could haye;been no. surprise, but, that a pure administration like the present could have done. such a thing was almost beyond belief. [Laughter and cheers.] When those responsi- bles went before their constituencies they would meet a punishment as great as their sin in this matter. It was of special importance, that here, in anew country, where we had many difficult- ies to contend with, as regards the working of our'Provincial government, that we should en- deavor to transplant to our soil the British con- stitution in all its majesty, purity, moral beauty and high sense of honor. In this matter we should avoid) even the appearance of evil. (Cheers,].We knew that the standard of political morality was lower here than in En- gland; but if we did not wish to sink still lower, we should try to uphold the charicter of our pnblic men, and maintain the independence of parliament, by condemning such dishonoring acts as this. (Oheers.) He solemnly denied ever having perpetrated such an act, though the government of which he was a member may have committed mistakes. He doubted not Mr, Sicotte would fulfil well the duties of his high office, but in accepting that office he had degraded the Bench and stained the judical er- mine, and yery much decreased his own use- fulness for the rest of his life. Could any one believe otherwise than that Mr. Sicotte was ele- vated to get him out of the House, and when he accepted office, he knew the base motive of the offer in question.--(Hear, hear.) Mr, Mac- donald cited authorities to show that it was as criminal to take a bribe and abstain from voting, as to accept it in this rule to Mr picture the case reward for voting, and applying proceeded to . Sicotte's conduct, of an elector brought before him for receiving a bribe to ab- stain from voting at election. What a moral the dccasion would be calculated to teach! --(Cheers.] Mr. Macdonald ridiculed the argu- ment of the Hon, Solicitor-General East, that this motion, reflécting on the exercise of the an prerogative of the crown, was @ disloyal one, if the opposition of Algernon, Sydney, and other illustrious English statesmen to the unjust or prejudicial exercise of the prerogative of James the Second was disloyal--an opposition for which subsequent generations had blessed their names: '(Cheers.) The hon. gentleman ' sat down amid enthusiastic cheers. Sci SASSER WESy Siesta SRS CE EI Common Schools in. Upper > Canada. The Rey.
