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.

Mr, prepared f course. No doubt j one for that Joseph Howe had gone to the utmost exs tent of legitimate opposition to the meas sure, but when he found that any future step was certain to cause bleodshed and ruin to his native Province, he accepted the inevitable and he came to aid us; and he came after he had got from us a promise that certain claims which Nova Scotia insisted through him, she would have the right to have. He said —‘ Grant us these: we think we have the right to them; grant us these, and 1 will consider my position,’ Isaid—‘ Ve.
