Hon. Mr. LAIRD: * The object of the Resolution has been

sv well explained that 1 consider it unnecessary for me to

add anything more; but I would just express my willingness

any great amount; but, even if the whole revenue be

expended, it will he cheerfully given. For my part [ will

go, beart and hand, to do anything in my power to put the | Colony in a state of defence. '

/ Hon. Mr. WHELAN: I will also support the Resolution, /Mr. Chairman; for it appears that the alarm has taken possession of nearly all the members of the House, and, I ‘must confess, of myself among the number. 1 would offer a ‘few reasuns why 1 support the Resolution.

With | regard to Fenianisw, I entertain the same opinion of it as I did last vear. I am not alarmed at it; but | look upon it as & mischievous organization. 1 was laughed at last year for my views, for when we were discassing the subject of Con- federation, this question came up; and it isa proof of the ‘marcel of intelligence that the gentlemen who then derided ‘me for my views, now say it is a movement not only much to he dreaded, but that we should lay aside all our party dis- putes to resist the progress of it. At that time Fenianism was not to be branded a8 anevil, but now it is, and it should throw every other question out of consideration. With res- pect to the character of Fenianism, [ have so often expressed ny opinion of it that it would be superfluous for me to detain the Comm ttee by saying anything more respecting it. With | regaid to the designs of the Fenians, L do not think they con- ‘template making a descent apon lreland for the purpose of |wresting it from British rule Ireland certainly has had great yrievances, but the ameliorating hand of time and the grogress of reform have ,had such a tendency a8 to narrow them down, so that it would be difficult, at the present time, to ascertain the real extent and number of Irish grievances. They complain—and perbaps justly—of the want of a Parlia- ' went in Ireland ; and paying towards the maintenance of the Established Church is a grievance, as well as the state of the leasehold Tenures. in Ireland suffer more than a like class in England. But still, all the avenues to preferment are open to her suns. To the Army and Navy, Ireland has contributed sume of the most illustrioas men who bave fought the battles of Great Britaim for hundreds of years. In the Parliament and at the Bar, the most illustrious orators have been Irishmen. Now, as to the Fenians hoping to be able to subdue Ireland, it seems to te the most atsurd fancy that evr entered into the imagina- tion of man. It was stated a few days ago, at a meeting of the © Brotherbood,’* by some who had gone out to see how the order was progressing. that not a single musket had been sent there, and not a man of character or influence bad ap- peared for the purpose of organizing resistance to Great Bri- tain. The movement then appears to have been got ap by a set of vagabonds, who have banded themselves sogether for spolation, and being unable, or alraid to trust their necks to make a descent upon England, attempt to despoil the peace- ful inhabitants of these Colonies in some detached places. 1 never duubted but attacks would be made upon some detached places in Canada or New Brunswick ; but happily these Pro- vinces have made such preparations as tu leave st out of the power of that organization to attempt anything of that kind with success. The Legislatures of those Colunies have placed at the disposal of the Executive, all the money they require for the purposes of detence, and, | believe, that a serious attack is not now apprehended, at least for some time to come. But thongh there should not be a single drop of bloud shed, that 18 no reason why ample preparation should not ve made ; for Lbelieve that, if the voice ot the Legislatures of Canada and New Brunswick, bad not responded, by placing at the disposal of the Executive, all the funds required for defensive preparations, the Fenian marauders would bave wade a dash to get up an excitement which they might take advantage of to increase their funds. However | do not think Fenianism, per se, is 80 much to be dreaded as the encouragement given to it by the great nation by which it is countenanced and fostered. I would speak with respect of that great natin ; yet not because we ure a mere cipher as compared with it as a powerfal country with millions of dollars at its disposal. But while | speak of it with all due deference, | must, at the same time, speak the truth; and | do so when I say that Fe- nianism could never have reached the proportions it has now attained, if it had not been for the fost-ring influence extend- ed to it by the Government of the United States. They may say there was no direct enconragement, or material aid,

taliation for the sympathy of the British people for the Southern Contederacy. No material aid! Oh, it is folly to | say su, for it is well known that officers of the United States | Army, drawing the pay of the United States, have subscribed ‘money in support of that organization. No material aid! | Why, it ie a fact that, under the very eyes of the authorities

Why, a few months ago, Mitchell, who was confined for his com- plicity im the Southern rebellion, was released at the request jof the Fenian organization. They say it is mere retaliation. We had a> much right to sympathize with the South as with } the North, when it was declared that their object was to ex- terminate slavery ; but when it became known that it was | not to be removed, the ground of publie opiniun changed and it favored tue South.

It comes with a very bad grace from that Government to charge upon the British people as }aerime, that they sympathized with the South, who were struggling at the rate uf one man against five, und were suc- cesstully resisting the North which had # powerful army }and navy at the outset. The Southern people had neither, jand yet they gallantly maintained the struggle tor four years.

POPE). The | great responsibity which, at present, rests upon me, as the 'Leader of the Government, gives me, | must confess, great |disquietude. If any serious trouble or mishap should here- lafter arise, the whole blame of it—notwithstanding the Go- }vernment may have carnestly, zealously, and faithfully done their utmost to-avert it—will be thrown upon them. Li now asked what course we intend to pursue, | must candidly and openly own that | am not prepared to answer the ques- tiun §=Our chief dependence, apart from what aid and pro- teetiun may be given us by the army and navy of Great Bri- tain, must be upon our Militia and Volunteers. A Bill having tor its object the proper and efficient embodiment of the Militia and the enrolment and arming of our Volunteers under the stringency of due military authority and regula- tions, is already prepared, and, ina day or two at the far- thest, will be laid before the Llouse tu be dealt with as they, in their wisdom, may think meet, The placing,—through the operation of this Bill, and by the pecuniary means which the liberality and contidence of this House may place at our free disposal,—our Militia and Volunteers upon a proper footing, and at the same time placing one or two gunboats upon our waters, will, it appears to me, be the most effective measures to which we can have recourse in the face of the danger which threatens us. By these means, we may perhaps be able to affurd protection to our out-ports and coasts. The construction of works for the protection of Charlottetown will, perhaps, also be required; and, however prudent and eareful the Government may be in thus providing for the de- fence of the country and the capital, the expense will be very great indeed. But if, io effecting it, I should have to take the whole revenue of the Culony, [ would not thiok L had paid tuo high a price for it. The responsibility of my position, at the present crisis, is great indeed, aud [ would much rather that it rested upou the other side of the House. Great how- ever as it is, | will not shrink from it. I wili now only eay farther, on behalf of my colleagues in the Government and myself, that, whatever we do, we will do with the best inten- tions, and whenever we may be in doubt as to what is best to be done, we will ask advice from those whom we believe best qualified to give it.

flon. Mr. WARBURTON. I will not blame the Executive for any expenditure which they may find it necessary to in- cur. Iam, it is true, not very favurable to them as a Go- vernment ; but I believe that, at the present crisis, they will discharge their duty as truly honorable, upright, and pa- | triotic men.

Mr. HOWLAN. I am not one of those who think the | Resolution uncalied for, Un the contrary, [ think that so great is the danger with which we are threatened, that, if we value our free and liberal institu‘ions as we ought to do,—if we desire to preserve, and to transmit to posteri'y the priceless ble-sings of self goverament, and all the rights, privileges aud immunities, which, as British subjects, we now enjoy, we must al! be ready to confess that it is im- peratively called for. For myself, L ouly regret that it is not much stronger. I would vot only pledge our Revenue for our own detence, but 1 would engage to assist, to the utmost of our power, our neighbours in the Sister Colonies The hon. member theo expressed bis surprise that the late contest betweeu the Nurihern aud the Southern sections .of the Uniced States have been dragged into tke discussion iv wihch the Committee were engaged ; aud, in do'ng so, took occasion to ssy that, regarding them as our ows kindred, be was proud that the people of the North bad upheld the consti- they tution which had received trom their forefathers, and above all that they had wiped cf from their country the stain of slavery. He then proceeded to defend them against the charge of being favorable to the Fenian organization and | their predatory design: upon British America. He said the Government of the United States were not favouruble to the Fenisn movement; aul, asa proof that they were) uot, they had eashiered Sweeney, for having attended and | taken part in the proevedings.of a Fenian meeting. The Government of the United S:ates, be svid had given neither | countenance nor encouragement to the Fenian organization ; | but he admitted that it was looked upon very favourably by | the people.

It is a'l very well, perha s,to say that the strugle of the Southera States was for mdependence, and upaneipation from the tyrauny of the North— that theie cause was goud—that they fought bravely aid nobly, in support of it, against tremendous odds, and deserved sue- ‘evs. But let the tables be turned — let the tide of revolt yr rebellion set »gainst ourselves, and we will argue in quite another strain. IL do not think that, at preseat, we are czlled upon to enquire whether the danger which we ap- prebcad threatens us, 1s likely to proceed from the Feuiaus aloae, or from the Fenians covertly aided and encouraged by the people of the States. We know very well, indeed, that the feelings of the Americans are against us. Of this they bave convineed us iu various ways. yr instance, al- though at che breaking out of the civil war, we, in the be- gislature, passed an Address to the Governmeut sympathiz. ing with them in their trouble, they had not even the cour- tesy to acknowledge it.
