LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAIBER, Wirmvssmv, April 19.

ADDRESS TO HIS EXCELLENCY ON THE STATE OF THE COLONY. (Coiitinue4l.)

The Hon. Mr. BIRNIE in the Chair.

The Hon. Mr. GiiaY.—Your Honors, there is one principle in this Address now before our Ilonors vr iich, without for one instant a mit- tinrv the principle, that your Honors have a riglit to bring such a Motion before this House: yet, the paragraph is such, that I cannot por- mit such language to pass without comment. But, with your Honor’: porinission, I will read the paragraph.

“ And thus it is proposed to Your Excellency to introduce ingredients of Government from the United States, into the Constitution of this, Her Majesty's Colony, to which Iler majosty’s Sub'ccts are averse.’

Now, your Honors, I assert tli:i.t such a mon- strous assumption, is a grave insult to the loyalty of the people of till‘. Colony, who, in returning the presentovcruvlieliiiiiig nizijority, which is now tlolilicriitiiig fur the giiud of the people in tlic l.u\i'<-i' lluiisc, slicwcd plainly that they were tllsstlllsllctl with the workings of Responsibility, us aittciiiptcd to be carried out by the late Uovoriiiiieiit. While I can never forget my loyalty to Her Mifcsty, neither min I forgot ivlizit is due to as lloynl, pI'tl('t!t1l)lc. and intelligent tl. body of Yeomanry, as any in Iler Majesty's l)oiuiniuns—'l‘lieir loud cry for Responsible (i0V('.I'llll.|Cl1li in its purity, as ciirrieil out in Cu.nutlii—liiiii been ringing in my cars since I arrived here, nearly two yeiirs iwo,rtnd with this cr , I entirely coin- cidn. Il?your llonors will allow mo, I willjust read the 2d pziraizrapli of the last Act, which was passed in tliul: Country, and which was assented to in the month of June last: and your Ilnnors will see, that by it. the Treasurer there, is excluded from a Seat in the Legislature, (here his llonor road the Section he referred to). And I will tell your Ilonors. that the good sense of the people of this Colony, will save them from allowing their best interests to be it prey to either the views of interested individuals within tlicse walls, or to the insidious designs, of needy ndventurore without; and, when consider that ii majority of your Honors in this House. were either placed in your Sent: by, or hold office under, the late Government, for tho sake of my fellow countrymen, I run. well exclaim, wise indeed, was the determination by WllI('lI, in our own beloved Constitution, good care was taken. tlinttlie equilibrium of the two Houses should never lie so exactly balon- ceil, that the end should be It sacrifice to the means; mid tlio irrcsistililc riglits ofthoRe-

rescntiitivcs of the cople, be invaded, their

iiliours rendered abortive, and their acts held in obeyuncc.

The Hon. Mr. Hoi.r..-—After what his Honor Col. Gr-n_v has stated, I see but one course to be pursued in disposing of the motion for an Ad- dress to His Excellency, and that is by voting against it. Were we to propose any amend- iiiont, ivc slioiild lie admitting a principle which we dimiii unconstitutional, in uainuch as it interferes with the privileges of the pulur l)I'fllI('lI of the Legislature, from whic , such matter should originate. llis Honor has shown that tho systciii of Responsible Govcrnniont, wliicli we ndvoca to, already prevails in Canada, the Chief of tlic-so Pi-oviiiccs, an that is millicient to satisfy us. One thing is perfectly clear, that if the Address proposed by your Honors, be adopted, tlnd be permitted to pro- (IlI<’0 tlie ellects rinticipriteil, Responsible Go- vernment does not exist in this Colony, the nominees of the Crown being allowed to over- rule the Representatives of the people. I shall, therefore vote against it.

His Ilonor tlio l’iri:sins.\'r. [must reply to the extraordinary remarks of his Honor Mr. Gray. Ilis Honor has thought proper to imputo mo- tivns in npplyin tho words “interested indi- viduals in this once, and insidious designs of newly iulventiirci-s outside." Iaingurigo such us this. I Illllrlt tell his lluiiur, ought not to be ll.-|t‘Il at this lluzirrl. Eitlii-r tlic iiiciiilicrs oftlic iiiiijnrity in this House are interested, or they are not. Sir, I for one claim to be as perfectly disinterested its any one in this House is, or can be, and as honest too let mo say in the advoccc ofiiiy opinions. Ilis Ilunor Mr. Hall has said that he is disintcrested—tlint he sought not ollice, [the Hon. Mr. Hall " I said I never re- coivod is shilling of the pulilic money nor sought for it situation."] \\ ell, it so,—if his Honor clriiuis political purity 1, Sir, do the some as do also, I have no doubt, the members of the majority in this House,—-—I repeat, I am not interested either on the one side or the other. As to the insidious motives lie alludes to outside, I have only to say tliutl know of none \vlintover.—Biit liis Ilonor says this is a monstrous uesum tion, [llis llonor Mr. Gm “ these are exucty my words.’’] Let us loo and sue wliotlicr tlicy itro so inonstroiis, so very dreadful, so oxcccdiiigly direfiil, so very appre-

cnsivc, 00 upon that clause wliicli liis lloiior considers so very objectioiiiil-le us stating is fact, ii. liict. Sir, wliicli our opponents liero cannot controvert—tlio kind tit Responsible Government sought for, by tho piirty in power at present. is one which does not re uiro the Honda of departments to boiu the Lt! isliituro, is in fact an rissiinilution'to that chic i obtain: in the United States, as on one inn. easily satisfy himself. who will will read the slander Newspaper. ere there was some slight con- fusion, sever: hon. ntleinen speaking eta time. and the Hon. LE. Swaboy rose to order. observing at the same time. that it was the but time since he had the honor to have a seat at that Board, he had heard intlei-sated motives imputed to lion. members, and he hoped that it would be the lust.) His Honor the Prosidcn then continned.—Tlie Royal Grr:r~ttr- no doubt is the nowsps r recognised by the Government, but. Sir, if use ri news r conducted by the crime Editor. and rintognfiigtbo same establish- ment, I conceive t at I have aright to consider tbet paper also to be the organ of the Govern- ment. I have not been eep. Sir, notto be wide awake to what I: on, Duricea Ito-

Lean—Yes, I state his namoo nl —wonld, I believe, introduce into this Isfin republican princi les iflie were able to do so, for I main- tain t at his editorials have allu tendency to undermine the constitution of Great Britain, and tberrfore I contend that that Address is not a monstrous assumption as has been vely aseerted,—but an undoubted that. I am tofdt too , that in that Address is contained an insult to the inhabitants of this Island, and that Res n- siblo Government as carried out by the “to Government, was not the pure sample of Re- gponcible Government it was represented to be. ir, Iudmit no such cities, and yesterday I heard his Honor ( r. G1-ny)‘delcare that he was in favour of Responsible Government, [the hon. Mr. Gray “ Yee.”] ' I look u on Respon- siblo Government as departmental overiiment, and that it cannot be carried on with benefit to a country in any other way, for otherwise, it is not self government. Moreover, Sir, I feel as- sur-ed that the people of this Colony will not consider any par-agriip)li in that address or and sentiment conveyed y it as an insult, for it does not.-—‘turn and twist it as hon. gentlemen rnay,—u.t all rcflect on their loyalty. I myself, Sir. came from a country noted for its loyal: , and am ready. were such necessary, to shed t in last dro of my Scottish blood in defence of _Grerit Britain and her lorious constitution; and if I thought there was either treason or disloyolt manifested or concealed in that document, would be the first man to vote against itr-the first one to suppress it. His Honor Mr. Gray also as that tho‘pooplo here are not satisfied with t o kind 0 responsibility we enjoyed under the late Government, but, Sir-I entertain not even the shadow ofa doubt that if an op- 0.I'IlIIIIby' were aflbrded them the rose t minority in the other branch of the logislatu would swell at once intou majority and the weak and flimsy Government of the resent day would be slinttcrod to atoms. guch is my thorough conviction, and such too the opinion ofull men who can read the signs of the times and will honestly avow their sentiments—of all indeed who have the opportunity of forming a due estimate of public opinion as it now exists. His Honor likewise in sup rt of his view of the question introduces t o Canadian Statute Book in which is contained a law which was passed last June relative to the new Franchise in that count , and which specifies the several otlicers who a ould not hold seats in tho legis- lature of that Province. Now, judging from his IIonor’s manner one would almost fancy that he expected we should have fallen down below the table and not have been able to raise our voices against it, but tremble beneath the weight of so overwbelmning an or ument. I, however Sir, so far from having on driven from my position by it. regard it not a straw but stand up as boldly as ever to oppose it. The act which his Honor produces is one which waspossed in 1853, two years after we had received the boon of self government. No such Statute had passed in Canada in the year 1851. Why, if it had been so much the wish of the epic here as his Honor asserts, did the rnayority of the legislature not pass such an act as the Canada one in the year 1851? If they had,our months would have been shut by it now, butinstend of that’ we received a. better constitution—a for higher boon. Sup- posing that in hove. Scotio, for instance they ind passed an not there similay to the Canada one, are we, I would ask, in any wit a bound lby the Legislature of Nova Scotiu’ of that of ow Brunswick? or oven of that of En loud, unless the name of Prince Edward Islrtn were embodied in the not? But happily for us, Her mnyeety the Queen has most graciously allowed us the high privilege of passing such laws as we, in our opinion, may deem to be conducive to our welfare. so long as they are not contrary to the spirit of the British Constitution or to the general policy of the Em ire.
