HOUSE 0! 55333313, Manner, February 13.

House in Contra-an on the Annals in reply to His Excsr.r.axcr’s Snlcn at the opening of the Session:

Mr. Wrcrr-rir.uv in the Chair. (Debate continued from Hasr.s.rd's Gesetle. No. 115.)

Hon. Mr. Psr.irIa.—'l‘c return‘ to the question: Hi: I-Excellency says it occured to him that his acceding to the request of the llequisitionsite would have been construed into an admission, on his part, that evil: had arisen demanding an immediate change. Well. in whatever light the request to summon the Legislature at an earlier Eat-iod than usual, may have been viewed, by His

lesllencyi, it was certainly never the intention of the uiaitionists—bow much soevcr the racy have it convinced of the propriety, if not the necessity, of such it step; and whatever may have been their opinions concerning the working of the present system of government-

entra His Excellencyiutc any such admis- sion as at which it occurred to him would be deemed the reason for his acquiescence, had be com lied with the Re uisition. His oouvenin the gisleturc eccor ing to the suggestiouo the Requisition, could not, however, in my opinion, have been fairly construed into any such admission on His Exccllency's part. The Reqnlsitionists did not pronounce a positive opinion concerning‘ the main object, for the consideration of w ich they wished the Logis- lnture to be summoned at an earl day. On the contrary, it was clearly stated liy them, in the Requisition, that they merely desired to have t c question, which ad been raised amongst the people, concernin the Depart- ments. System, to be fully and ttirly discussed by the Assembly.“ But the Requisition did not stop there: it ides stated that there were various other matters, although it did not per- ticulnriac them to the due consideration of which, itwas the 0 inion of the quisitionista, the attention of t e Lcgislnturc ought to be directed as earl as possible. Amon tthese,

was the shame ul neglect of the d-scr- vice, as had been well so resented b the hon. member for the First istrict_ of inoc

County, (Mr. Yoo): and that, with me, ' not the least. Another most important sub- ject, for the consideration of the Legislature, was the contemplated withdrawal of the Troops, out of which would arise several uestions, which, as intimately sdecting the pu lic into-

- I

rests, undcubtedl uircd the early and mature consideration 0 the people's represen- tative: in parliament I sin c opinion that

they who advised c. non—compiiance with tho Requisition, were not. by any moans, influenced bya regard for the pu lio weal; but, on the contrary, solely by n desire to roicct them- selves, and retain, as long as possib e, the advan- tageous position which they undeservedl y occupi- ed. Inatesd of the paragraph which has just been submitted, I will move that what I am now about to read besubstituted for it. [The hon. and learn- ed member then read his proposed amendment, which is the second arsgriph of Address as pre- sented to His Excel ency, and already published in all the papers.] ‘ to shew that we had no desire to interfere with the perogative of the Crown; and that our only aim was fully to dischsrue our duty as representatives of the peo- ple. Wc wish to show why we thought it would be expedient to make an early call of the Legisla- ture. Hie Excellency called upon the Requisi- tionists to state in detail what were the other matters, besides the question concerning the De- parttnentsl System, which they thought required the early attention of the Legislature; but, as His Excellency had not been pleased to comply with the Rcqieition, they were willing that, for s time, thing: should rest as they were; and, therefore, abslained from a further urging of their request. They were well aware that His Excellency had an undoubted right to exercise the prerogative of the Crown with respect to the summoning of the Le ialsture; and they were unwilling to appear to ispute it. on Mr. Wusr.ru.—'I‘he mode in which the lion. member (Mr. Palmer) has treated the ques- tion, and his proposed amendment, amount to no- thing but mere evasion of dificiilties which be"is afraid to f Mr. Mscsrruv.-—ln rising to second the a- tnendrrient, proposed the ban. and learned member for Charlottetown. he did not intend to engrusa ruuc time; but, in representing a free, enlightened, and high-minded constiluency—s constituency whose integrity and independence, not all the power of the Government had been able to corrupt or snbdue—ha felt it to be his duty to advert distinctly totlie reasons which had induced him to sign the Requisition which was the subset of the paragraph and arnendrrient under consi er- stion. What he and his conatitticnls considered to be an evil—and an evil of the first magnitude-— in the present working of what was called the Responsible System, was that the parliamentary representatives of the people were allowed, for their own benefit, to fill oflices created for the state. All were acquainted with the weakness of human nature; and all who did not wislifully look for- ward to the time when they themselves might be- come the recipients of the wages of corruption, were, he believed, persuaded that, as no man was so safe as he who was placed out of the reach of tern . so the ‘best security the people ccnld have, for the fidelity of their representatives, was the exclusion of the holders of certain ofiices from ' he Assembly. The highest authority had said that no man could serve two masters; sad experlence—the experience, indeed, which they had had of the Departmental System in rince Edward island-—had been quite suflicient to shew, that, when a men was so circurnstanced, wiui respect to two eenfiieling obligations, that the fulfilling of the one, would involve a neglect oftlis other he would g_eaerslly—-wliatever con- science rnig t whisper to the ccnirsry—int-Jinn to the discharge of that which would most directly tend to his tlly or pecstiisry "benefit. The rtuwntsll stern, as here existing, he held to be an evil most dangerous ‘to the purity of the esstnbly; and, consequently, nest dangerous to "'0 Ifllfloeleef its people: sad ifthere was-as setas pretended to tit nk thersagp-—ss sadacit in pointing out that evil to H Excslylsncy, and

seeking, by constitutional means, to remove it, it was en audacity of which he certainly was not ashamed. A new Government was. however. be trusted on the eve of formation ; end. when h considered the public principle: and qualifications of those who would, in all probability, constitute it. he could have no doubt that, under their man- agement and guidance, public measures and public afl'aira would soon Iesume such a complexion, and be placed in such a state, as would afford the best assurances for the future well-being and content- edness of the people; and. should they ever he supplanted by, or fall before those whom they had already overthrown, and whose place: they were about to fill, he felt satisfied they would yet have the satisfaction of being able to lay their hand: upon their hearts, and say, on their retirement from power, that they had done their duty to their constituents, as well as to themselves.

Ho . Mr. LoItr>.—Thc amendment ro sod by the hon. and learned member for Char otte- town (Mr. Palmer-,) was nothing but mere eva- siou—s corn letc giving of the go-by to the

ucstion. hat did the fifteen say in the Re- quisition 1 They said that they wanted to bring about a change, throu h 0. subversion of the Departmental System, y legal enactment. If hewas not great ymistakcn,tiic proposed amend- ment of the hon. and learned member was in- tentionally worded in so evasive a manner as to allow the Requisitionists some way of escape from the emer ricy which they saw was about to embarrass t out. He supposed the hon. and learned member had been the first to sign the Requisition. [“ No! It was Mr. Douse,” from some hon. member.] Well, that might be ; for it was nothing unusual for him (Mr. Douso) to commit a blunder. ut, whoever was the first to sign, the Requisition was, he supposed, in- tended to set forth sentiments in which the whole fifteen cordially agreed. Their avowed purpose was the destruction of the Depart- mental System, liyelegal enactment, on the sum- rnoning of the gislaturc. But the evasive amendment, so far as it gave any intimation of it purpose tit all. indicated nothing but u prede- terniinntion,on the part of the hon. and learned member who had moved it, and his friends, to take that course, with respect to the System which they had so strongly denounced, which should appear to them most likely to give them possession of that power which they had, long, most eagerly coveted. It was very true, as had been openly enou h admitted by the hon. mem- ber for Be fast, (Jr. Douse,) tho ob'ect which the mgjority had in view, was not t c subver- sion o the Constitution, but the over-tlircw of the Govcrriment,—not, indeed, on account of any evils which had arisen from their working or carrying out of the Departmental System ; but merely that their opponents might have an opportunity of elevating themselves, as it were, upon their ruins. It might, indeed, be true enough that instances of individual private im- pro riety of conduct, on the rt of inferior pub ic cllicers who had been appointed by the present Government, could be pointed out. ut, cforc indul 'n in animndversions. such as had fallen from go ips of the hon. member for Bel- fast, (Mr. Douse,) it would, perhaps, have been well had the ion -continued misconduct of n. certain iudividua , long screened and protected by the old tory party, been kept in mind; as t c remembrance of it might, perhaps, have imposed a prudent and salutary silcncc, with respect to such accidental misconduct, on the part of a public oficer, as that liommember ad spoken of with so much severity. When, however, the enemies of the Government bring forth such potty charges of accidental miscon- duct, and seek to mngnif them into misde- meanors of the highest on most alarming cou- scquence, it affords an indirect proof of the great dearth of all ofiicinl ofi'ences or misconduct of real moment, b the urging of which to impeach and condemn t a Government. With my hand upon in heart, (continued the hon. member-,) as my riend Mr. McEa.chen has said solemnly aliirm that, both in my capacity of a representative of the oplc in this House, and as a member of the lgdcutive, I have done my best for my native country. And, with refer- ence to in colleagues in the Government, as well as til the Departmental Ofiicer-s, I dare fear-lessl ask, have they not acquitted them- selves o the high trust reposed in them, in the most honorable manner,-and, in a word, dis- charged all their duties in the most uncxcep- tionablc manner? Can it single instance of pcculntiou be brought against an of the public ofiicersl Not one Their con ucl: has been close] watched by unfriendly eyes; but their ofiicia conduct has been unirnpeucliuble. I am one of those who have labored for my native country; and my reward, I find in the success of tho abors of my colleagues and myself. B our exertions we have secured Responsible Go- vernment to the (‘olony,—I soy secured, for although its destruction is now threatened by those who stand opposed to us, the lm erial Government will never consent to its overt irow. And, besides, b our legislation, we have ex- tcnded the elect ve franchise to many of the outhful and noble-rnindcd natives of this Co- ony, from whom it was unjustly withheld. Of the share I had in the romotin of this enact- ment, I am truly pron ; and, it though I know the present majority in this House will carry their vote of want of confidence in the present Administration, I so , let them take heed and beware, lost sooner tlvrnn they expect they may, on the hustings, have to give an account of their brief stewardship, and to face those, its electors, from whom they unjustly strove to withhold the elective privilege of frecmen. he hon. mem-
