and power, instead of affording by his conduct a fulfilment of the condemnatory predictions of his opponents, not only does he Stand higher than ever be did betore in the confidence and esteem of the people of Nova Scotia, but he enjoys a greater stiare of public respect and regard, throughout the British American Provin- ces, than any other public man now living therein. When men turned prophets, the erents, concerning which they predicted, ultimately proved in nine cases out of ten their absolute want,'not only of ali prevoy- ance, but of sufficient judgment to calcu- late the probable issues or results of any plan or course of proceedings, political or otherwise. The present prosperity and happy condition of the people of Nova Scotia, had, fully shown the utter worth- iessness and fallacy of the reasonings and predictions of the obstructives in that Pro- vince, concerning the results of Respon- sible Government; and no man could be prepared to shew, that the same happy experience would not be consequent upon the changes about to be effected in the (Government of this Colony, in accordance with the principles of the Responsible System.

“Mr. Loxcworntu maintained, that al- though a change in public opinion and in the posture of public aifairs, might neces- aitate a change of public policy, and ob- lige public men to pursue a course which they had formerly been opposed te ; yet no public man could, with credit to himseif, all at once abandon his foru.er principles of action, and advocate a policy, to the adoption of which he had, all along, offer- ed the most determined opposition, uni, convinced by “the signs of the times,” ax the honorable member, from Bedeque phrased it, that the prosecution of hisown views of personal advancement would be materially retarded by a long observance of consistency ; and he would plainly tell that hon. member, that in the course which he had recent!y pursued, there was evidently so vomplete an abandonment of principle, that he (Mr. Longworth},for one, held him to be altogether unworthy of public trust or confidence.

Mr. Crarx observed, that all that had been advanced by the hon, member for Charlottetown against the hon. member tor Bedeque, was that he had changed his opinions ; and he (Mr. Clark) was quite at a loss to see, how that could be construed into guilt. A conscientuous change of opinion, although a mistaken one, could certainly never be a crime; and, surely, to abandon error and abopt the truth, would always be creditable toa man, even although it might be apparent that such a change would bring along with it some immediate personal advantage. The hon. member who seemed to value himself so much upon his consistency and upon his never having changed his political senti- ments, would perhaps, excuse his remind- ing him of the old adage, which says, “Wise men change often, but fools never,” particularly as he could assure that hon. member that he did not include him under the latter appellation.

‘The question being put on the honor- able Sol.General’s motion of amendment:

Ayes— Messrs. Longworth, Yeo, Douse, Montgogiery, Haviland, and Honorables Sol Genera!, Thornton—7.

Nays—Messrs. Beaton, Clark, Pope, Mooney, M:Neill, Warburton, Whelan, Coles, Lord. lynn, Fraser, Laird, Jardine, Davies—-14.

The question being put, that the Report be agreed to, the House again divided as above:

Ayes—It4. Nays—7.

So the Bill was adopted as reported.

BLAKE'S Metallic fire Proof Paint, Or, Artificial Slate.

THIS admirable article has been tested for some years, and proved very valuuble, becoming a perfect slate, as hard as mar- ble in a few months, completely protect- ing Whatever is coated with it from the action of weather and fire—a better fire- proof than tin or xinc. Several Insurance Companies certify they will insure build- ings covered with it at a cheaper rate, than if covered with those metals, It is of two colors, the black is best for root: ing—the chocolate the best thing ever discovered for sides of either brick or wood, forming a perfect stone coating of a handsome stone or chocolate color, can be easily changed by a little white lead to suit the taste, ‘ere is nothing equal to it for steamboat and car decks, and all kinds of tron,as it forms a coating near- ly as hard asthe iron itself, and never cleaves off.

BEWARE OF WORTHLESS COUNTER-

FEITS.

As the popularity of my paint has in- duced scores of unprincipled individuals to grind up, and offer as fire-proof paint, all kinds of worthless stuff, much of it nothing but rotten stone that has no co- hesive attraction, is held on by the oil with which itis applied ; consequently, as soon as the action of the atmosphere destroys the oil, it will wash or rub off like Chalk or Whiting, nothing can yet be known of its lasting qualities, as it is but litule over a year since they got them up, Whereas mine has been tested about seven, and where first applied is now like a stone,

The original and genuine article can be obtained of PATRICK STEPHENS, Orwell, my authorised Agent for the Is- land.
