The words repeat,
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

The bel fries of all Christendom

and the wisdom of our administration.

But Mr. Brown’s and Mr. McKenzie’s

and Mr. McKenzie very nsively, in his

Mr. Robinson, (Hear, hear), I bad said
that when the Grits came in about thirteen
years ago, the weevil came in with them

he would rather have Colorado bugs,

and panic, and anything, no matter what it |
might cost the country, and no matter how
the interests of the country would be af-
fected by it,—he would rather have this
country «fHicted with them all, one after
another, than see John A. go in and Mr.
McKenzie go out. (Hear, hear). I say,
gentlemen, from 1854 until we resigned
we had to meet an opposition of that kind
Mr. White has referred to

THE BURNING QUESTIONS OF THOSE DaYs ; |
he has alluded to the clergy reserves

which affected the people of Upper Canada, |
ind he has alluded to the Signorial Tenure, |
which affected Lower Canada, As fir
Upper Canada was concerned, William Lyon

Mackenzie declared in the

House and in his book the queas |
tion of the Clergy Reserves which mainly |
caused the 1837; and we ail |
know how Lower Canada was shaken to the

very centre by the oppressions—if I may

use the expression—of the old feudal sys-

tem, of the old Signorial tenure. These

questions were used as means of agitation

by the Rouges in Lower “anada and by the |}
Grits of Upper Canada; they did not want |
to have them settled, for this would have |
deprived them of their tools in the trade
and when we took hold of these questions— |
first of the Clergy Reserves, and settled
that question, we bad the opposition of Mr
Brown and the whole of the Grit Party
(Hear, hear]—and why? because we com-
pensated the vested interests. Although
the clergy had the right, by a solemn act of
the Imperial Parliament, to one seventh of |
the province for church purposes, and als
though they had these vested interests, we
compelled them to surrender all on the
basis of their life interest rights by com.
muting for the life of the clergyman of the
parish then officiating, ithough the Brit- |
ish Government declared that they would |
never allow the secularization of the Clergy |
Reserves unless compensation was given to
those clergymen—they knowing that, op-
posed settlement, and we had to carry the
mea:ure at the point of the bayonet. [ Hear, |
hear.] And soit was in Lower Canada.

We were opposed by the whole force of the |
Opposition of that day in the settlement of |
the Signorial question; but we carried it

George Cartier (great cheering) was told by

ing all French Canadian interests, and that
he was little more than a French-speaking
Englisiman. You may remember
Protestrnt sentiment was roused in Upper
Canada against Roman Catholics; ho Lower
