DEBATES AND PR slam Gs LEGISLA'l‘IV'lmCOIIICIL.

v (Co-tinned.)

Ben. the Pensions-r: I think it ' is a very novelreaohuion to appoint a com. mil so to report to the House of Com- mons. If they were to report to this House it would he more in accordance with Parliamentary rules. I see b a Despstch from the Colonial 11in slur that information is asked for. and. I think there never was a better o rt!!- nity to lay the whole question he ore the Home Government. I believe the Gov- ernment are noxious to settle this ques- tron. and the country expects a great deal from them; therefore, I trust they will not neglect to furnish the Colonial Minister with full information on the subject,

Hos. Mr. Bean: I am mil particular- gweddod to the resolution. and if the

overnment would intimate that they in- tend to take themstter up. I would with- draw it in favor of a resolution proposed by them. or any of their supporters.

Hon. Mr. Wauau: Reference has been made to the late Mr. Cooper, and I am certain that no men could be more sineeretbau he was in advocating Ee- cheat. but he went home and was re- fused admittance at the Colonial Office- beceuse he wee not authorised- by the Government. However. he wente sin, and if it were not for the determ and opposition made to him. we would find PrincesEdward Island in a dlferent po- sition to da . Ilia object was defeated by powerfu proprietors and their agents. [do not see any use in adoptin the course proposed by his honor. or a single letter from a private individual would probably defeat the whole object. as one from Mr. Leslie did the Loan Bill s few years ago.

line. Mr. DMWRLL: I wish the Co. loninl Secretary had some information which I could give him. If he could see a young men end his wifb clearing lend. piling and burning hesv tim- ber, wit perhaps a little child side them. and on black that you could hardly tell whether they were natives or not. he would know something about our ditllo culties. I have seen thet‘ldnd made

Hear farms, and the men who cleared it

in that way owing heavy arrears of rent. They are new at the mercy of the pro- prietor, who may turn them out of the farms. they have cleared. That is a state of things which should not exist. Those men's sons. seeing the prospect that was before them, have left the old men to do the best they can. The Fftocn Yenrs‘ Purchase Bill is no benefit to them. for they are not able to take edvautsgs of it.

Hon. Mr. Mellon/mu: From the ex. pression of opinion I have heard from his honor who introduced the resolution, lbelieve he has that confidence in the Govenrment that they are desirous of acting in a straightforward manner; end as he has said he is willing to leave the matter in their hands if they expma their intention of doing what they can. or what they conceive to be best, there- fore. if he will withdrew his resolution. I will move the following one 1-—

“ Wlmras the Executive Council of this island did forwsrd a minute of Council. es- pressivc of their views on the Land Ques- tion, to the Colonial Office; and whereas llis Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chendce did, in e Dcapntch in enswcrthers- to. express his desire to have further in- formation on the subject. and also to learn what number of tenants bad oveilsd them- selves of the provisions of the act of 1864: Rssolced. Mergers. unanimously. That the Governments onld take such notion es wril ad‘ord to file Grace the Duke. the informa- tion which he desires."

Hon. Mr. Bean thee withdrew his rec solution. and on doing so remarked that he hoped the Government would not con- tent themselves with simply giving in- fcrmation to the Secretary of State. but to some other influential members of the British Parliament. that the might be made acquainted with our gr ovsnces.

lion. Mr. Wetaun: I recollect that when the first Loan Bill was sent home. Lord Stanley was Secrets of State. and be made a speech in the ritish Par- liament explainiu cur adairs. and our Land Question. tter, I believe than any man in the Colony could. If they would not hear his words. what is the use for us to send them information ? Perhaps somethio would have been done et thst time. but a change of Gov- crnmonttook place in a few days, and the matter was lost sight of.

The resolution proposed by the Hon. hlr. McDonald was then agreed to.

CONFEDERATION,

Hon. Mr. Pause: 1 voted for the re solution which has just been passed. and 1 trust I shall have the support of your honors to one which I am about to pro. pose. A despateh has been laid be ore us. announcin the union of the neigh- bouring Colon s. Aihoughthiscomasuai- cation does not convey any news. still othelolly before the Legislature. and as the union of the Colonies has now been laid before us in due form, it is well for your button not to let the subject in silence. Though the nostiou of onfcderatiou is still very wide agitated in one of the Colonies is question. yet I must co ass, that little is said about it in Prince Edward island just now. and it may be the opin-

Nova Beetle and New Brunswiek. shall form and be one Dominion. under the name of Canada. the Legislative Council would be unwilling to receive this formal information. without an acknowledgment of their sense of gratitude towards their Sovereign. for liar Majesty’s fission oce- sideretlns towards this Colony. y which its inhabitants were left to their free and voi- unt choice of retainin their at constitution, and separate lore: of overn- Iuent. without the oxersias of soy power or influence. on the part of Her Majesty. cal- culated to thwart r obstruct that choice. That. white the gialstivs Council are seasible.-that the ep revel of the cold pro- clamation by Her fajcsty. has afforded

tihuation to Her hfsjest 's Ifrineipal gutter of State for the olomes. and whdetli I . islative Councilesrnestlybope that all antic rations for the prosperity and hop loops of t e people throuxhout the Do- min 11 of Canada. may be fully mliaod by the union oonsuuuented by the said Procla motion. tlwy at the some time. eroelve

rest additional reasons for hellev ng. and eel strongly re-essnred. that the interest. rospority and he piness of this Colony ave nuqnestionnh y been best secured to its peo ie.ond are more likelyto be promoted by the r remaining. as heretofore. sepcrsu and independent of Canada enjoying the inostimable advantages of solf‘guvarnmont, still forming a port of' the Bl‘llllll Empire. and living in security under the ears on protection of our gracious Sovereign." Nomi think a resolution of this kind passing this House, upon the announce- ment of this formel despetch. will con- vey such an expression of opinion abroad, no will be of some service to the colony, for. though this question seems to be at rest, 1 em out one of those who think it is safe to assume thet es en uneltsrable state of affairs. because I believe there are still individuals, whose greet object end desire are loses this Island yet con- federated with the other colonies. 1 be liove there were. and. perhaps, still are, some persons in the Island who took a favorable view of confederation—per- sons who considered that it would be for the interest of thepeopie of this colony if we were to note with those who have entered that union—but I think those purple were mistaken, or erred in judg- ment: yet there ereoonlederates. hap- pily few in number. of a different class. who are perfectly indifferent whetherit would be to the advantage of the colony or not.“ long es the secure personal advantages for themes res, and persons of that character are ready to plot and conspire against the interests of the colony. They will probably take that time when the people are off their guard. to carry forward their machinations and plots, with a view of securing their per- sousl aggrsndizemeut. and, therefore. I think it is incumbent upon the colony to lose no opportunity of giviu an ex- rcsslon of opinion, through t a Legis- ature. to show that our people are still of the same opinion as they were when the question was agitated. We do not know what change may take place here. We do not know how soon we may have s new Governor, and we may rest as- sured that. if such be the case, he will come with a strong desire to see this Is- land united with the Decision of Can- ada. He would. no doubt. be at liberty, if not instructed. to use his influence to bring about that event. Therefore. we should lenve no room to doubt what the views of the people were. if such should happen, or give a new Governor rcesou to say there was a change in public opinion on this subject. If we leave such a resolution as this recorded upon our journals. there will be no reason for a saw Governor. who might come here intending to use all his influence to bring us into confederation. to represent to Her Majesty‘s Government that there was s change of o iniou here on this subject. There woui be no reason to send home n representation to say “ the people may be won round yet. if clever means are used to invalgie them into confederation." In the face of such s resolution as this he would not dare to say there was a chap e in public 0 iniou. but, on the other babel. he would eve to say “ it is in vain to attempt to bring them into confederation. for here is a resolution saying they are still as much determined against it as they were formerly." When we see the Vast body of the people of Nova Scotia. that due loyal colony, deceived. entgap- ped and sold by traitors. struggling for their liberty. and supplicating Her hlajeaty'e Ministers to restore their for. mer- mastication. we have abundant reason to rejoice that we have escaped the same condition. It is not much more

ion of many persons. that this Colony,’

than eighteen months since 1 attended a public meeting in this county. um“!
