HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, Mosnsv, February 13.

House: in Cour-i-ran on the Anunsa in reply to His Excat.u:xcr‘s Susan at the opening of the Session :

Mr. Wicimtsn in the Chair.

(Debate continued front lIasrard’e Gazelle. No. H5.)

Mi. l}i:i:it.—'I‘he abuse of power, on the part of the present Government, has doubtless been very great. in a variety of cases; but, in nothing has it been more conspicuous, than in their dismissals and appointments of Road Commissioners. They had actually—aud for no other purpose than the promotion uf their own party iaterests—disinisse some of the very best qualified men, and appoint- ed, in their steed, seine of the most incs able. They had, for instance, dismissed Mr. avid Higgins and Mr. Jeremiah Simpson, two of the very best Road Commissioners there had ever been in the Colony. And who had they appointed in their stead—and in the stead of other dismissed Commissioners of eiuiiliar qualifications! Men, in many instances the most unsuitable: and some of whom -.-.ere positively, as Commissioners, a disgrace to the Colony. One in pIl'll('ulIf of those to whom he alluded, had almost altogether neglected the most essential parts of III! duty; and, by his neglect and insolencc of behsviour— titling in liastcthrougli asettlement. and keeping the people trotting after him, instead of discharg- ing his duties amongst them with due considera- lion and decent civility.—had so provoked them, that they were determined to bring his misconduct and neglect before the :\esembly.—lt was quite ridiculous in the Government to attempt to take credit to themselves for the reduction of the Public Debt. lfwe look back for about fifteen years before they came into office, we shall find that, with a small revenue, expensive public buildings had been erected, and ample provision made for the repairs and cotislructioii of roads and bridges. All that had been done with about half the present amount of revenue; and. besides these «trains upon it, just as the public buildings were linished, bud crops ensued. and, for the reliefuf the distress- ed population, and to avert famine. in 1848 and

I849, .t.'4000 or 155000 were issued out of the Treasury. Then. again, it ought to be remember- ed that. in 1850. the supplies were stopped, and the revenue kept in the public chest, to the in- crease of the next yesr’s revenue. Famine had disappeared, good crops followed ; and, above all, the amazingly vest discoveries of gold created the greatest commercial activity throughout the world; and Iliie Colony happily has bad its share of the consequent general prosperity. Titus it is easily shown that, as the causes which gave rise to the Public Debt. and, for atime, retarded the pros- perity of the Colony, were not such as reflected any discredit upon those who. during that period, had the management of public affairs: so, neither is it possible lor the present Government justly to ascribe merit to themselves for the present pros-

nrous state of the Colony, or the reduction oftlie

ublic Debt ; for both have proceeded from csumg over wliicli they had no control. That the fact *5 90. may also be ebewn by a reference to the financial affairs of New Brunswick, just before the general improveuient in trade throughout the W0I’ltl. caused by the gold discoveries. -it that time, New llrunswick was almost bankrupt; but now—tlirough the operation of the some general causes to which we owe our increased prosperity, augmented revenue, and diminished debt—tlint Province has been relieved from its financial em- barrassmenta, and its trade and coitiniercc have not only been revived, but greatly extended. Hie GEI-lI)lISIll'|'lf.‘lll of Responsible Government has had tio share whatever in producing this public prosperity in New Brunswick; and neither are we indebted to the introulctiou of that System here, for the increased prosp. rity of the Colony. lhat government influence had been exerted to I(t?"p out of the House such candidates as they knew to be opposed to them, hon. members on the Government side might be very unwilling to ad- tnit; but, in his own case, he knew that all the oflicials in the District were employed, both during the canvass and at the election, to damage him, in the estimation of the people, to the utmost of their ability. 'I'heir influcncc, however, was prov- ed. by the result of the contest, to have been but small. The hon. member for the Third District of Prince County (Hon Mr. Lord) had asserted thit no tnisspplication of public money could be proved against the Governmeitt. What was the feed given to the American naval oflicers. last summer. at the public expense, but a miaapplics- lion of public money? and a few more missppli'os- time of the people’s money would. perhaps, also be brought to light before long. on, r. LoltD.—Tlto display made by the hon, member (Mr. Beer) in his maiden speech. was rather an unfortunate one; for a an of it was but a dry repetition of facts, which ad been previously advcrted to by two or three lion. members: and the rest ofit was made up offceble accusations against the Government, which. frivo- lous as they were, had not even the weight which truth generally imparts. even to trifles. No Road Commissioners at all were dismissed by the Government; but under a new Act. by which the old system was abolished. thirty Commissioners were sppoinlud, iii a sslar of £10 a year each.

Mr. l\Ios'rooM:itv.—VIill the hon, member say that Mr. Higgins and Mr. Simpson were not dismissed

Hon. Mr. Lotto.-—'I‘hey were not dismissed; but they ceased to be Commissioners, when the Old Act expired, and the new one came into oper- atiou. ad we. however, shown less favor than we did, to those oflicials whom we ltnew to attached to the interests of the old Tory party, and the principles of irresponsible role; we should still have been in a majority in this ouse. Our tlutvnfall has been occasioned by nothing but our own imprudent forbearance and generosity: we most unvvisely nourished a Tory faction, and they have most bssely and insldiously exert the influence which they derived from us to accomp- lish our overthrow.

Hon. Mr. Wiis:i.siv.—Leavlng squabbles un- noticed. I will endeavor to reply to some of the at-guments—if arguments they may be called- wliioh have been advanced in so port of the amendment of the hon. and leaned neither for

proceeded thus: I attempted, a few minutes ago, to characterize this pro sed amendment, as one of the most evasive o the reel questtpn at issue, that I have ever own ted in the Assctnbl . It would not, indped, be too much to say t I: it conhins a deliberate statement, as a fact, of what is not a fact. The original document states, in language suf- ficiently clear, that the object of the Re uist- tionists was the excluding of salaried 0 core from the Assembly But what does this pro- posed etnendtnont say! It says, “ It was not their intention to lead His Excellency into an admission that, from the Departmental System, evils bad arisen, demanding an immediate change. until the principles involved in that question should have received the fullest dis- cussion in the House of Assembly." Is not this evasion? Yes: evasion the most palpable and absurd. As His Excellency justl conclu- ded, had he acceded to the requesto the Re- uisitionists, his doing so would have been earned a positive admission that evils, requi- rin an immediate change. had arisen from the wor in of the Departmental System. The declare object‘. of the Requisitionists was the cxclusion, y enactment, of salaried oficcrs from the Assembly; and, had the Legislature been summoned, as the lied requested it might be. would it not have cen suminoned—not to afford them an op ortunit of deliberating upon and discussing t e principles involved in the Departmental System—but to allow them, on- tirely and at once. to do away with it by enactment? For, if the Requisitionists are to be believed, in what they have said of them- selves. they were fully convinced that. so long as that system should continue, the Assembly could not possibly escape being corrupted b its influence ; and that it was, therefore. their duty and determination to accomplish its overthrow as speedily as possible. To this determination, whether real or pretended, it is now, however, quite evident they have no inclination to adhere; and neither, it is my opinion, would they have adhered to it had His Excellency, in compli- ance with their Requisition, uforded them an earlier opportunity of Elvin it effect. The truth is, that they who ad t a chief hand in getting up that Requisition, having found that —throug the treachery to their constituents of certain individuals who had been elected mem- bers of the Asscmbly—tbey were likely to be in a majority at the meeting of the House, they could not overcome their impatience to be put in possession of the power which they had long coveted in vain; but which was, at length, by means of deception and npostacy, brought within their reach. To this impatience, the Requisition was entirel attributable; and the prime movers therein ondly persuaded them- selves that, by so imlposiug an arm of signa- tures, as fifteen out o twenty-four o the chosen plarliamentary representatives of the people, is Excellency would be entrapped so far as to allow them an early opportunit to’ depose the present Government, and can lie them- selves in their stead. or, unconstitutional as their proceedin was—-they conluded that His Excellency could not fail to yield to the wishes of those who would, at an rate, so soon con- stitute the majority in the Assembly. At that time, it won (I seem, they were not quite so well aware, as they seem now to be, that, in His Excellency, they had to deal with a man, intimately acquainted with the constitutional prerogatives both of the Crown and of Parlia- ment, as well as, in oveqy other way, qualified to discharge the duties 0 his high and import- ant office; and whose sagncity and integrity were such. as to preclude the possibility of his being made either the dupe or the tool of faction, how artful and designing soevor they might be. Foiled as they were in that attempt, on now again—notwithstanding the power wliich, as is majority, they possess to can whutovcr they may roposo-—driven to see safety in subterfuge an evasion, their triumph is cotne the r disgrace. They know well that, by an adherence to their intention, with respect to the .Depertinenl:aI S stem, as intima- ted by their Requisition, an to the declara- tions, with reference to that System, made by some, if not al , of theta, before and at the late elections, they would completely defeat their ovvn selfish aims and ambitious projects; and, rather than do that, they are contented mean- iy to seek shelter, in ltry equivocations, roll: the indignation to IV icli they cannot but feel their insincerity exposes them. It is, as I have said before, their day of triumph; for they are on the eve of bein invested with that out oi-ity which they have Iong cagerly coveted; and yet their position is. by no means, an envi- able, or a desirable one.
