the sane high opinion of ita weight and authority which he |

hioiself seems to entertain; and [ say again, that its being made allowab!e, fur scholars of the Normal School, to read the Bible, if their parents wish then to do so, in the school-room, emher before school opens, or after it closes, is not allowing the Bible to be recd in the school ; and neither is such allowance, with respect (o the Bible in that school, that which is asked fur by the payer of the petitions,

ton. R. MOONEY.—I hope [ shall never see the day when the schoolmaster shall have power to teach my children the tenets and principles of religeon. And, as to ihe sincerity of the regaed tur the Bible, by winehsane hon. members maintain the petitieners have alone been mflienced, the fact that the I ble is wot read in the Glebe Schoo!, Lot , in which there is ealy on’ Cathohe amongst the scholars; nor in the District

Sehool, at Belfest, in wateh the scholars are Protestants 5 nor in |

th: Dis ict School, on St. Peter’s Road, of which I have before

spoken. and of the scholars in which the parevts are all good |

Protestants; affords but a surry proof. If whea Protestants

mry lave the Bible freely read, by their cluildren, ta school, |

every day, and expounded to them also, they dv not avail themselves of the privilege for the benefit of their children,

their recl estimate of its value must be very small indesd. No, |

sir, as | have before said, neither real religion nor the love o!

ible reading has anything to do with the agitation which has | been got up about it; but the teuth is that they with whoun the |

agitation bas onginated and they who have promoted 1, have merely used it as a bandle against the Government 5 and, flery as they seem to be in their zeal for the reading of the Bible in all our schools, could they only overthrow the Liveral Pafry and bestow political supremacy upon the old Tory party, 1 would very soon appear that in that supremacy they had obtatued all they wanted,

Mr. V’OPE.—The hon, member from Fiinty Glen (Hon. R Mooney) stom ly maintains, a'though without advanemg even the shidow of a proof to support of his essertion, that the only oiject emertained by the pet toners and Uiear who sapport the prayer of their petitions in this Llouse, im the agitation of the Bible Question, 1s the wresting of the government from the party in Whose hands it is at present, in order that it) may fall into the hands of their opponen’s 3 and thet to chat end they have mide a political engine of the Bible. Llon. members who hive conlescended to reply to these unfounded charges of the hon. menber frou Piary Glen, have clearly shewn that they are groundless assumptions; but that every speech which he delivers in this House is intended to be a political engine,

allen both sides of the House, who listen to him, must feel |

persuacved. Ower-charged and il-tirected, however, as most

of his speeches are, they generally miss the ata, and if they |

efiver anything atall, wis) merely -his own prostration. The resolution which has been sabinited by the Elon. the Colonial Secretary, as an amendment to the resolution submitted by the hom. member for Princetown (ffon. ‘TT. HH. ILiviland) is ne wnendwent atall; and, in fact, his no reference to it. That resolution, Which is, indeed, a very specious device, was, no donst, prepared some time ago, in expectation of what would be proposed. by members, in this ILouse, favourable to the prayer of the petrions ; and as moch ingenwty as the Goveru- ment party in the Tlouse possess —and perhaps as much as the nature of the question Would adant of being exercised ip opposition to it—ias been employed in the drawing up of that locmnent; yet [think it will not induce any to ad:nit the wisdom and propriety of the views therem enunciated, except those who were previously prepared, for party reasens, to sustain if.

flon. COLONTAL SECRETARY. —Tt was nif intended to be either an amendinent or at answer to the resolution of the hon. member for Princetown (flo. T. tL Hoviland), nor in faces to any resolution Which might be proposed, by any hom, member, in support of the prayerof tue petitions. It was imtended to be simply what itis; and toat is, a full, plain, argumentative, and yet brief exposition of the views of the Government party. con- cerning the unpropriety, and, mn feet, the unpossibilicy, of con- necting reliyious instru, tom. or trammg, with any system of National Mdaucation, where a co ninnaity, ke ours, is composed

sanisied evher with the resolution inamendmert, or with the |

original resolution ; for he has prepared one of his own; and, no doubt. he will be abe to give good reasons why it ought to be preferred to either of them

Now, if the }ehildron of such parents be taught to read, and be instraeted | | from the Bible, in school, the consequence, in many instances, hmay be that such children will read the Bibie to their parents, and beeome their earnest and affectionate instractors m Bible | traths, the knowledge of which had been imparted to themselves | in school. This consideration of the great moral good, which may arise from religious training in school, ought to impress | (upon our minds the necessity of taking care that such an eda- | cation shall be given to those who mean to embrace the calling

.of schoolmasters, that they may be duly qualified to become, | not only instructors in secular knowledge, bat gaides and ex- | emplars in piety and morality to the youth entrusted to their | tuition. So instructed and trained, schoolmasters would be | worthy of being classed next to clergymen: their ealling | would be an honorable one; and the talentel and faithful

In the opinions which have | been expressed by hon. members who have preeeded me, in| \speaking in support of the resolution which has been sub-

‘mitted by the hon. member for Princetown, (Llon. T. II.

Haviland), [fully concur; and particularly in repelling the | charge which an hon. member bas preferred against the leaders ‘in the movement concerning the Bible, and those who in this | House support the prayer of the petitions, accusing them in the most unjust and rancorous :pirit, and in the most illiberal and indecorous manner, of bigotry and duplicity, and of their using the Bible as a political engine for the attain- ment of party purposes. “Those hon. members to whom I allude have disclaimed, justly L believe, the unchristian feel- | ings and selfish motives attributed to them in that charge ; jand, fur myself, [ do the same. By feelings of bigotry, or a, Pwant of charity, either towards Cutholics or any other deno- | ‘mination of Christians, not im the same Commenion with

myself, Lean safely defy any one to show that I haye ever

‘b en influenced, in any accion of my life, whether private or | public. So far indeed have [ been from entertaining any pre- | | judiees against those who are members of the Catholic Com- | ;munion, on account of their creed, that one of the dearest,

‘the most esteemed, the most hunored of the friends I have ever | chad, was a member of that Churen, and a strict and consistent | | approver and observer of her doctrines and her practice, whilst, | jut the same, his heart was, I am convinced, filled with love | tuwards all men,* His death, I mourned as the death of one | (who had been a brother to me indeed ; and his mortal remains,

[ followed to the grave with as sincere and heart-felt sorrow as | I have ever experienced in the whole course of imy life.

subjects. And further, I can also truly say, that I have never,

even in the most distant way, tampered with any of the people, on the Bible question, with a view of thereby in- | fluencing the coming elections. Still, however, whilst we seck not, andi whilst we have no desire to force upon the children of | Roman Catholics, in any of our public schools, the reading of | ithe Bible, we are most anxious to do away with any or every | regulation or rale, by means of which the reading of the Holy | Scriptures, in any of our public educational establishments, either is, or may be, prohibited to scholars whose parents or

the Hon. E. Palmer rose, and moved, That all, after the word ‘©whereas,’’ be struck out, and the resolution submitted in the committee, by the Hon. T. H. Haviland, be substitated in stead thereof. :

On the Eon, the Speaker having put the question thereon, the same division took place as in the committee ; they who had voted therein for the resolution submitted by the ilon. the Col. Treasurer, voting against the Hon. E. Palmer's motion ; and they who, in the committee, had voted against the resvlution submitced by the Hon. the Col. Treasurer, voting in

favour of the Hon. B. Palmers’s motion ;—Mr. McGill voting; 4 Whip Saws,

against the motion in his place, and the Hon. the Speaker giving his casting vote against it from the Chair.

The Hon. J. Wightman then submitted the resolution, as above given, which he had read in the committee of the whole Hiouse ; and on the Hon. the Speaker having put the question thereon, it was lost on the same division on which “the Hon. f. Palmer’s motion had been lost; the Lon. the Speaker giving his easting vote in the negative.
