, Mr. Anoand,a defence of Mr. [Iowa is very brief. “mile first inflate that it really matters little whether Mr. News is consistent or inconsistent who the question at issue is whether this Confederation Selnue~ is good or bad. If it were to be admitted that Me ii are has been inconsistent, the same may be said of on Robert l’bel. Earl Russell.hlr. Giadatonc.nud other leading statesmen who have changed their views on great questions. Even Dr. Topper him- self. and his brother delegates. have not always been consistent. for says Mr. Aunund :—

“ I could till three pages from the pen of one of the Nova Scotiu Delegates. who has come here in Tuppcr's train. written a few days before he went to the Convention-at Quebec. in winch he wanted his to tntrymcn against any political union with Canada. and 1 might. it so disposed. speculate on the causes oi his conversion. I might print: the !- leech of another of th I Delegates. made only last tvtntcr. in which he described the Nova Section Ministers with whom he is now associated. as htttutlot'ct's only fit to be confined in a Lunatic Asylum. But i for- bear. for what would all this prove ? An reappoint the questions at issue. nothing at all. and Mr. 'lup- per would better have consulted the taste of this country. and have spared his Lordshrp's time. had he made his pamphlet twenty pages shorter."

But Dr. Tupper. scent-ding to M r. Ansnnd. proves M r. llotve inconsistent by gurbliug his speeches. quoting what some to sustain his chttrge. and care‘ fully omitting all that would explain Mr. Howe's views fully. This seems to be particularly true of a speech delivered by Mr; flown in 1851. in which he proponnded views on the organization of the limo piro similar to thou stated in his last patnplttat_ Dr. Topper makes some long extracts from that speech which appear to prove that Mr. llotve lvus then in favor of a Union of the Provinces on some such principle as that on which the Quebec Scheme is based. Mr. Annaud says :—

" Mt. Topper knows very well that ail_thcsa ex- tracts were tnonthp ago quoted in the Parliamentary Debates. and printed in the Colonial newspapers. and were tritun hautly reconciled by Air. "owe to a public letter. In which be satisfactorily explained and vindicated his policy in relation to this question. In that defence Mr. Howe proved—-

“ 1. ‘That while. since 1350. be had been an_ ar- dent sdvcca‘e of all measures by which the Province might be industrially bound together by railroads or other public improvements—white he had favored emigration and systematic plantation of the poor in the Colonies and generally all such wise measures of mutual co-opcratioa as hada tendency to elsvhtc and strengthen British America. he had never during a service of a quarter of a century. contemplated or

proposed a political union with Canada. which would

overthrow the‘aystetvs of selfgnrernment existing in the Maritime Provinces. or give her the uncluan control of their revenues and legislation.

out? time, formally discussed in the Nova Scotia Legislature. while he was in it. hlr. Howe took. it directly opposite view. not at all tn‘nccordance With Mr. Johnston's and Mr. 'l‘ttppcr's optntonl. but In harmony with those proponnttcd in'his. pamphlet, recently published, ‘Oowtbe Organisation of the ‘ ire.’ -

That to set the question of Colonial Union occasionally referred to. at rest. hedonihpmvers'frmu the Legislature to discuss it to 184“. with the other Colonial Governments ; and that when the Delegates from Neva Scotiu and New Brunswick met with the Canadian Ministry in September. 1862. it was noun. imonsty decided that even the discussion of the pub- ject was premature. and ought to be indefinitely postponed.” . .

Last week. in treating upon Political Parties in this Colony. we concluded our remarks by saying that the routing elections would. in all probability. be determined upon old party cries. From all we know and hear at the Council nominations on

Wednesday last. the surmise which we then ofi'cred practices to be realized. That a considerable re- action but tnlten place since the General Election. iottr years ago. there can be no doubt: but that it is autltcieutiy strong to secure the triumph of a Liberal Adutiuistrptiou is another question Many tile-long Cohservntii‘ea have become so ditI osted at the way in which lito‘pttblio affairs of this Colony have been conducted for the last four years. that atty change would prove acceptable to them. There are others. however, who while they have behold the public debt and taxation doubled. and the revenue squandered. are either so limorons in themselves. or suspicions of the very name of Liberal. that they prefer to “ bear the ills they have. than fly to others they ltnow not oi." > The imprassi 9. however. is all but universal, that a change of so a kind is nicessary. and that. for a due regard to economy and the public weal. eight years in power is quite long enough tor any party. From the wide-spread existence of such a tooling. we are inclined to the opinion that a change oi Government will result from the coming elections. Should the scale incline to the Liberals. as we thinlt it will. that Party will be found tobo much modified both in tts composition and policy. to what it was when it went out of power. the elements of success and longevity by being moderate in its course and anxious to promote the best interests of the Colony. A long continuance in power debuuehee the very best Governments. The Liberals. towards the close of their career. were guilty oi many sins ot commission. as well as of omission. which tended not a little to hasten their fall. and the present Government have. during the past four years._contmitted acts calculated to ensure their condemnation two free purple. Let us prove this by an examination into the way in which the putiiic revenue has been spent. To begin with the Land Commission. which ended in smoke. we that it cost. ‘ 'l‘hn Delegation of Moms.

occasions. and as we intbnd to show again. With it record ot this hind storing the Government in the face. it is no wonder they. have ' fallen into disfavor. and that the people. should cry out for a change to the administration. of ‘1‘)“th are . de- termined to accomplish. and if the rspot‘fs which reach us from all sections of the Island be true. as to the present attitude and spirit of the people. we have no doubt. that the clot. of January will use men returned to power pied to economy and reform- men who. while out tcdsraie in principle. will earnestly devote themselves to lessening the burdens of the people instead“ locusts: theta. and. at the saute time. maintaining each apartment of the Public Service in an eiltcient state.
