CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1878

| Senator Haviland’s Spsech on the | Quebec Outrage.

SENATOR PERRY CORRECTED.

Hon. Mr. Havitanp—At this late hour of the evening, I do not intend to detain the House, but | could not sit im my seat and listen to the misrepresentation of _his- tory made by the hon. Senator from Alma, relative to the dismissal from power of Lord Palmerston in 1850. The way I read his- tory is: he was not dismissed by the exer- cise of the prerogative of the Crown, but by the Crown at the request and on the recom- mendation of the Premier of the day.

Hon. Mr. Penny—Why did the Premier make the recommendation !

Hon. Mr. Haviranp—We all know what the cause of that dismissal was. As the old phrase says : ‘‘ There cannot be two Kings in Brentford.” Lord Palmerston received deputations upon foreign questions without consulting the Premier or any other mem- ber of the Ministry—in fact he was a des- pot in the Cabinet—and in consequence of his acts at that time, Lord John Russell re- commended Her Majesty to dismiss him. [ will not give my own words for it, but I will quote from Molesworth’s History of England—not the historian’s version of it, but the statement made by Lord John Rus- sellin Parliament, In reply to a question from Sir B. Hill :—

“The first important transaction in which Lord Palmerston took a part, since the end of tue last session of Parliament, was his recep tion of a deputation of delegates from certain inetropolitan parishes, respecting the treatment of the Hungarian refugees by the Turkish Government. On this occasion I thought that my noble friend exhibited some want of due caution, but I gave him the credit of supposing that this was through an oversight. The next oceasion to which I think it necessary to refer relates to the events which took place on the 2nd of December in France. The mstructions conveyed to our ambassador by the Queen's Government were to abstain from all interfer- ence in the internal affairs of that country. Being informed of an alleged conversation be- tween Lord Palmerston and the French Am- bassador, repugnant to their instructions, | wrote to that noble Lord, but my inquiries for nine days met with a disdainful silence, Lord Palmerston having in the meanwhile, without the knowledge of his colleagues, written a de- spatch containing instructions to Lord -Nor- manby, in which, however, he evaded the question whether he had approved the act of the President. . I consider the noble Lord’s course of proceeding in this matter to be put- ting himself in the place of the Crown, and passing by the Crown, while he gave the usual approbation of England to the acts of the President of the Republic of France, in direct opposition to the policy which the Government

stances, I had no alternative but to declare that while I was Prime Minister, Lord Palmer- ston could not hold the seals of office, and I have assumed the sole and entire responsibil- ity of advising the Crown to require the resig- nation ef my noble friend.”

Therefore it was net by the exercise of the prerogative he was dismissed, but on the recommendation of the Prime Minster because he had taken upon himself the powers and authority of the Government, and carried out his own views in direct op- position to the policy of the Administra- tion, of which he was a member. He was dismissed at the request of Lord John Rus- sel, and the Premier took the responsibility of it. Therefore, the precedent cited by my hon. friend from Alma is scattered to the winds. As to the case of Lord Meicalfe, there was very little known about respon- sible government in those days. It was merely the commencement of the experi- ment of responsible Government. I must confess I am surprised when I look around this House to find the

CHAMPIONS

of pure and undefiled Liberalism are the Con- servatives and the champions of old Toryism and despotism are the Liberals.

Hon. Geutlemen—Hear, hear.

Hon. Mr. Havitanp—They say history repeats itself, and it certainly does. We know in the days of George IITI., when the Almighty in His wisdom thought fit to smite the King and to take from him his reason, when the Regency Bill was before Parlia- ment, it was the Conservative party that checked and limited the power of the Prince Regent, and it was Fox and his party who desired to make him a despot. It was at the feet of a greater Gamaliel than my hon. friend from Alma—the late Joseph Howe— that I learned the principles of responsible jgovernment. His definition of it is a gov- ernment for the benefit of the people, as ex- pressed through a majority of their repre- sentatives in Parliament assembled. [ am surprised that we should find among the so-called Liberal Party such champions for despotism and irresponsible power— who would evengive a Lieutenant-Governor

ABSOLUTE CONTROL over the Province which he governs. I do not care for the point raised in another place, as to whether a Lieutenant Govern- or’s power is greater or less than that of the Governor General, whose commission comes direct from England. Iam willing to put them onthe same footing, and I contend that, taking that view of it, hon. gentle- men opposite are prepared to give greater power to Lieutenant Governors than the Queen herself dare exercise. I do not want! to go into learned quotations, because I know the House is weary of them. We have had them from the hon. Senator from Halifax, until we could not understand the applicability of them to the question be- fore the House; because sometimes his quotations were the very reverse of the opinions expressed a himself. ‘There is one case which J will quote, and it is the|

had hitherto pursued, Under these circum-{

NO. 310.

only one [ remember since 1830, where either the Governor or the King has ever exercised the prerogative of dismissing a a ministry which had the majority in Par- liament,-—that was the

CELEBRATED DISMISSAL

of the Melbourne Ministry in 1834 by King William IV. We know that is a precedent which is never likely to be followed again ; we know at that time King William IV. had strong views—old Tory views. After the passage of the Reform Bill, and the Ministry had been in power four years, he altered his mind very mnch, although he was the people’s William at one time. The occasion selected by the King for dismissing the Melbourne Ministry was, when Lord Althrop, who was Chancellor of the Exche- quer, was raised to the House of Lords, by the death of his father, and Lord Mel- bourne waited on the King and stated the changes he intended to make in the Minis- try, in comsequence of the vacancy of the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. His Ma- jesty told him that he was of opinion that the business of the country could not be carried on by such a Ministry as it was now proposed to constitute, and that he had made up his mind to éall in the Duke of Wellington. In that case, as in the pre- sent one at Quebec, there were advisers be- hind the threne ; but the King took upon himself the responsibility of dismissing that Ministry. We.know, according to ordinary constitutional rules, the Government of Wellington and Peel, who were then called to office, technically speaking, were res- ponsible for that dismissal ; but how is that matter treated by history? Where is the responsibility put? These are the com- ments of Molesworth ;—

‘‘Such was the outcome of this attempt to force a Conservative Ministry on the country. The results were, the needless turmoil and expense Of a hotly-contested election; a vast expenditure of money; a great loss of time wasted in party strife, which should have been devoted to public business; a diminution of the Liberal majority, and a proportionate increase of the Conservative Opposition; a con- sequent weakening of the Melbourne Admin- istration, compelling it to seck strength and stability in a closer alliance with O'Connell and his followers. And now the question arises, who was really responsible for these mischievous results? On the principle that the King can do no wrong, the blame must be thrown first, on the Duke of Wellington, who consented to fill Lord Melbourne’s place pro- visionally, and next, on Sir Robert Peel, who accepted it definitely, and accepted with it the responsibility of Lord Melbourne’s dismissal, as he himself honorably and frankly acknowl- edged. But history must not be arrested in its decisions by conszitutional fictions, It judges Sovereigns as well as their Ministers; and, in this instance, it must condemn William the Fourth as having made an unwarrantable use of his prerogative, in order to transfer the

xovernment of the country to the party that he personally preferred.” THAT IS EXACTLY THE CASE

I contend that has arisea in the Province of Quebec. Mr. Letellier has dismissed his Ministry. It is like the old fable of ‘‘ The Wolf and the Lamb.” He wanted an ex- cuse to get rid of his Ministry in order that he might have M. Joly and the party with whom all his sympathies were, around him at his Council Board. The case of King William, whom Molesworth condemns, was mildness itself in comparison with the high-handed act of Mr. Letellier in dis- missing his Ministers, because King Wil- liam IV, did give a reason, to the effect that they would be too weak without Lord Althorp as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and there was no man in the Ministerial party to take his place and perform the duties and functions of that important oftice as efficiently as he had done. Here was a reason given, but I look upon the act of Mr. Letellier as the

DEEPEST STAB

that constitutional Government has ever re- ceived. He dismissed a Ministry which had an overwhelming majority in the House of Assembly, and almost unani- mous support of the Legislative Council. Where can we find a parallel for such a case ! With regard to the precedent in the Cape of Good Hope, there were Imperial interests to be protected, and as an Imperial officer, Sir Bartle Frere occupied a two-fold capacity, he was the representative of the Soverign, to guard imperial interests, and he was also the Governor of the Colony. Let us see what the case of Mr. Letellier is in this message that has been laid before us by His Excellency the Governor-General. You will see that, from the first to the last, he forgot the position which he occupied. Evidently, he was thinking of days gone by when he was a Minister in this House, and thought he continued to be a Minister, in- stead of occupying the position of Lieutan- ant-Governor ofa Province. Instead of re- maining passive and receiving the sugges- tions of his Ministers, he forced his own views upon them. I have not a shadow of a doubt as regards the vote I ought to give on this question. I have come to a coneln- sion on reading Mr. Letellier’s defence, as he terms it, without looking at Mr. De- Boucherville’s rejoinder at all. It is one of the most PUERILE DOCUMENTS in the shape of a state paper that I have ever heard of. Itisa lst of trifling com- plaints. One of his reasons is, that a Bill was passed with a blank, another that there was a grammatical error in some measure; and it is on such pretexts as these that he justifies his arbitrary conduct of dismiss- inga Ministry having the confidence cf an overwhelming majority in both branches of the Legislature. It seems to me, from

the very hour that he became the repre-
