Second, you mnstnotice the way in which they obtained ac- cess to the fold. A few days before, Mr. Mae- dongall moved a strong resolution mmlemnatory of the government for not having advised His Ex- eelleucy to promise increased reoresertation to l'pper Canada in the Speech from the Throne. In advocatingr the motion .‘ilr Macdougall promised his Opposition to any Government that would not grapple with the question. Mr. Foley, Mr. How- land and Mr. Wilson were all equally implicated in the purpose. Mr. Sandlield McDonald, the present first minister of the crown, consistently opposed any concessions to the l’pper Canada majority. ll" is claimed by the Lower Canadians. lle and Mr. fiicotte agreed in forming the theo- retiral basis ofa government: a principle ingre- dient of which is the recognition that a given nnmher of Lower Canadians, are equal, in all rc- speets, to the same number of Upper Canadians with 300,000 added. To the surprise of a great number of people Messrs. Macdougsall, Foley, W il- son and lion-land subscribed this creed. The former has attempted an elaborate jusitfication of his act; putting forth the very convenient doe- trine that a man in Opposition is relieved from re- sponsibility. Mr. Sandneld Maedonald entered the. fold by the door: his Upper Canada colleagues climbed over the wall. (Hear, hear.) Notwith- standing. Mr. John A. )lacdonald, both personally and by the exactse of his influence, accorded to them a support which may he termed magnani- to us. liueh to his credit he recommended that no opposition should be uttered to the new minis- ters at the hustings; and very singular was the sequel no Opposition was offered“ Everything conâ€" smml lmnesty, official ability, and of disinterested love of their country. They are men whose. servi- ces the country cannot well dishense with. It is true that. their Government died of a sort of inaumtion. ts term of usefulness was at an end. it outlived its vigor. There were in some of its departments gross mismanagement. As a. mem- ber of the Committee of public neennntsl saw such evidences of this as humbled and grieved me.

We have drifttd into a state of things which :‘ery ninth res'mbles a dJad lock. The quiet demise of the late goverrz~ ment. the advent to power of men who are unac- qnainted with the duties of practical statesman- ship, together with the fragmentary and disjoint- ed character of public opinion: in Ul'per Canada especially indicats s a gathering stonn. Our pub- lic debt of about $60,000,000 has been contracted for purposes of internal developments; but the periodical deficit in the revenue for ordinary ex- penditure is becoming alarmingly serious. If a man borrows money to defray the eXpeuses of livâ€" ing he is likely, in the long,r run, to steal or starve. In the case ofa Government WI ieh employs the surplus capital in the hands of its mvn people, :1 large indebtedness may not seriouslyal‘i'ect the national condition. But in a young con: try like Canada, to raise revenue to pa _v interest to outside lenders, is ruinous. [it our circum- SUUICCS, and “'ldl Olll' llOillllitiiUil, I have no hesitation in saying that ours is the most extmvagant system of government in the world. I desire you to remember that I am speak- ing of the system. You are not at a loss to un- derstaml me. With a tarill‘ stretched to a point which makes Smuggtmg a respectable athirefint<~ ble business; with a duplicate government and a sectional duplicate expenditure, conducted ac- cording to our American neighbors’ rule of log- rolline, nothing but. tinancial difliculti s can he looked for: Our last year‘s deficit is very conve- niently accounted for by ascribing it to sympathy with the American difficulties. This at the limit is buta plausible pretext. The revenue {rum ter- ritorial sources has not boot diminished, neither has our consumption decreased. Frauds on the revenue have become more systematic, and the operation ofour free ports may have facilitated the consumption offree goods, in Lower Canada, beyond the limits of the exemption. The present Qovermnent cannot either devise or put in prac- tice a remedy. It may to some small extent effect '21 friendly and ‘ mutually profitable intercourse would he. surrounded by a species ofmoral defence, which all civilized powers would be bound to res- pect. Such a course would command the appro- val of British Statesxnen and of the English manu- facturing interests; sud er 11 Mr. Goldwin Smith might submit his Colonial theory to reâ€"conside ‘1 - itiou. (Henna) Sueh a policy would extricate us from the mire of personal politics. For several years past we have revelled in s'auderous abuse of public men. Ambition has sought no higher grati- fication than the rerquisites of oilice could suppply. This is no very aggeezthle picture, but it is too life- like not to he recognized. Unr 'politicul’ {arty names keep up a distinction without a dlfi‘erence. Whether the Governnmnt is n Coalition; purely | Conservative, or unadulterated Clear Grit, its Emeasures and their effects, must be substantially { the same, so long as its general policy is so.

I propose to remove every obstacle in the way of the most complete free commercial inter- course. It has been made :1 ea use of complaint against us by the New York Legislature that by the impositio~ ot heavy duties upon many articles we have intentionally excluded the United States from Canadian markets; and that we have in- tended to destroy the natural elfects of the Re :i- prc city treaty, contmry to i s spirit. Though there is no justice in the complaint,l would remove? even the appearance of proscriptiou.

Our 1 rdinary expendiâ€" ture, leaving out the interest of the public debt, might be decreasedprobably to the extent of one- half. All ourannnal grants to educational, re- ligious and benevolent institutions, should be disâ€" continued. ’l‘he interfereuee by the state in mat- ters oi’this kind is sitnply to outrage the rights of "then". The legislature should provide, in one gen~ cral law, for the incoporation ofsocieties, whether they be skating-rinks. Dioceses or Sisters of Chari- ty. The expenses of the legislature can he re- duced by more than one~half, and Lower Cana- da might be permitted to enjoy the luxury of contributing its fair share towards the t urrent exâ€" penditure of the Province. To this general scheme, the deta'ii‘s of- which I do not pretend to give, there willbe opposition. Collectors of Customs, Tide- Waiters, l"re".‘entivc Officers, Smugglers. atti some few wâ€"‘hotnay be in the enjoyment of monopolies, will.1_it'oo-.tlily murmur. The more int iligent of them will. see that in the promotion of the general good th y cannot snfl' r.
