M.-_ :\[,,og¢gy said he was one of the most unpro- tected members on the door of the House, in conse- quence of his willingness, at any risk, to declare the truth. It exposed him to the pitiless pelting of the atoriii from both sides of the 'House. The ntinotll . ha iimuglm, ought not to take credit to lllBInlel\’Pd or their opposition to the ninendinenis made by the

Council to the One-ninth Ilill-their object evidently

bging, to defeat the Bill in toto. lle reiiieiiibered the ropht-cy ofthe hon. and learned member for Char- oltetqvu (Mr. Pahner), in I8-I8. to the etfect, that the House would draw an olrl house about their cars by their titti-rfereiicu in this iinittei. 'I'lii_-.-re words its well reuicuibered; and to use the words of the famous Gintiau, he had watched over the cradle ofthis Bill, and he feared he would have to follow its hearse. The question was then put on the paragraph,as read b the Chairman, and agreed to,—.\lessru. l.ongwort ooney, Montgomery, and Hnvilsnd. voting in the negative. _ 'I‘he paragraphs in the Address referring to those portions of His Excellency ’s S h which recotii- mend the House to abstain from taking any active measures on the subject of the Fisheries or of Trade, which might embiirrass or iitfpeda the negotiations now in progress between the Iiovcrnmeiits of Great Britain and Ariierifill. l>’~‘l'|3 "WI- on. Mr. I’at.:itv:it said he objected to one an of the address. One of the paragraphs of the speech to which that portion ofthe address just read proposed to be an answer, read as follows 2-- "Should the American Government agree to tnake such equivalent concessions as may ttinke it advisable to accord to its citizens the same privilege which are enjoy ed liy Her Majesty's subjects here, the Fishery Questions. in so far as I’. I-2, Island is concerned. adiniis of easy solution." 'l‘he Fishery Reserves, if not the Fislieries, have heeii the subject of rent discussion and agitation for some time past. ’ here are a vast number of settlers—as many frceholdera as leaseholders.—largc portions of whose farms are found to be within the limits of the Fishing Reserves. The House should be cautious in guarding the tights ofthese parties. but His Excellency appears to have entirely ' of this ditlicult matter. He (Mr. P.) thought Ilis Excellency should have warned the Ilouse carefully to guard against any infringement of the rights of the parties lie alluded to. ' Excellency speaks of .~\nierican fishermen being put upon the saute

- footing, with respect to these Reserves, as British

subjects. He has, it is true. not actually recommend- ed this. but he has thrown out what, in reality, aiiitiuntn to an ivitotion to the British coliiiiial Minister to do so. He (Mr. P.) wished to know from the Members ofthe Goveriiinent whether it is their inten- tion that American and British subjects should be placed oti the same footing? lfso, lie iiiuch doubted ivhutlier reciprocal trade with the United States would be deemed a stillicient equivalent for the loss they would sustain by the parties interested therein. If it was now dificult to guard ou_r numerous Creeks, Bays. &,c., it would be tenfold more difiicult to do so, were British and American subjects placed upon the siittie footing with respect to the Reserves. The power to exercise the right of curing fish upon our shores, anywhere within these Rest-rves, might and doubtless would iitiluce tnniiy to co-nitiit depredations upon the settlers, front mere ivaiitnuness. We have already witnessed the dangerous consequences of al- lowing large numbers of persons of this descri tion to land on our shores. Were this permitted, w at. he would ask, would he the value of the lands adjoining? Ilis Excolleiicy reuiiiids the Colonial Minister that the literal con-I-uctiuii of the Treaty would go the length ofthrdyvin_- open the Fishery Reserves as far as salt water Bows; and His Excellency invites the House to place these parties in a position to use then Reserves to that extent: and not 0 y ,so, but to low Americans to COIIIP li-ere. helter shelter, for that arpose. He did not know whether such was His xcel|ency's intention or tint; but such an opinion would, he thought, be borne out by the lan(gua‘ge of the speech. Let this matter be known an i: early understood, and then they would be better-prepared to legislate on the subject. 'l‘he Hon. Mr. Gonna thought it was a pity the hon. and learned iiierpber for Charlottetown, (Mr. Palmer.) could not take a common sense view of the matter. \Vhat the Address says, on the point in question is this :—“ We readily admit that were the Government of P. E. Isliiiid the only party concerned in such a treaty with the Senate of the United States, the Fishery question could soon be settled to the sa- tisfaction oI both; and whilst the inhabitants ofthe Colony would reap the advantages of reciprocal trade, the subjects of that friendly power would be at liber- ty to co-operate with them in turniu to account the very important facilities which this sland possesses for prosecuting the Fisheries, and in occupying the numerous reserves abutitig on its sea-shores,bsys, harbours and creeks, where the tides ebb and flow, expressly granted and secured for fisher purposes by His late Majesty King George the Thirdy." Ie (Mr. Coles) thought Ilis Excellency must have anticipated the objections of the hon. member, (Mr. Palmer.) for he s s, “ By the Convention of ISIS, United States fisherman have liberty, in common with Her .\I.1josty's subjects, to take fish of every kind in those ivnters which are defined in the Treaty, and they have liber- ty " to dry and cure fish in any of the ttnsetllod bays, harbours and creeks, on the southern part fow- foundland and ofthe coast of Latirador."' The word unsettled, it would be observed. as more emphatical- ly marking His Excellency‘: opinion' oflhat term, is printed in Italics. In this Island we have long been coatendi with adverse circurnstunoee—the agricul- turist has long and loudly complained ofthe want of a sutiiciunt remuneration for his labour—and the Le- gislature has been endeavouring to secure reciprocal trade with the United States. as the surest and best means of betterin the condition of all classes of the inhabitants. An under the impression that we have something valuable to give in exchange for this boon, the Legislature passed an Address. last Session, pray- ing for the reincvsl of the restrictions of the Treaty of l8l8, as far as the Island is concerned, provided that free trade withilie American Republic were conceded to the inhabitants ofthis Island. and that they would also admit Vessels built in this Island to American re- _try and llsh duty free. The Government therefore, is merely desirous of following a the wishes of the House of Assuinbl one the on. member ,(Mr. Palmer.) wish to prevent res table American citi- fllll IP03 landing on our shores and carrying on busi- nell slnollst as It is not to be supposed, however, [97 l {n°|I|°'||._|hIt our doing so. would necessitate the _dispossessinn of a large number of the present in- ltflbtllnlm If_Ill0wsd to come here, it is for the ar- poss of carrying on a fair trede instead of as ilicit °“°v l" ‘I P'’°'°'“ "- "I '00 many instances. the case.
