3. That during no winter season interven ing between the year 173 and the presen time, has the steam s-rvice provided by the Dominion Government been ecient, or the communication with the mainiaud, im any €,ree CoLutlBeuers.

4 ‘That during the first winter season after th- Union, no attempt was wade by the gene al Government to previie such stesm service, that @uring the two subs quent winter seasons viz.. those of 15745 aud 1575-6 a wooden steaimbost, called the ‘’ Albers” was placed upon the route between Georgetown & Pictou, bat she failed to perform the service satisiactorily, that at tke commen ement of the wiuter season ef 1576-7, a new steamer calied the ‘* Northera Light,” which had been

upon the reute. *

5. inat the recordsef the trips made by this steamboat ave inaccessible to us, but it is notorious that these trips have been most irregular and unsatisfactory, and that at ‘mes she has been detained ice bound for periods rangiog from ten to twenty-four days, to the imminent danger of the passengers and maiis. On more than oue eectsion during the prsent wi te, 80/6 of the passengers, among Whom were severai femal.s and chil dren. were forced, after remaiving on beard the vessel for several days, to leave her and walk a distance of many miles to the shore. when night overtaking them, they received severe injuries from cold aud expesure, and oe of them has been crippled for life.

6. That the people of this Province hare suffered great loss by reason of the frequent interruptions to the winter steam service, involving e¢xtracraimary delay, not only iv the trauamiasion of imp tant ietters by mail, but a#6 ia the conveyance of passengers, thereby causing serivus derangement of trade aud itmieuse wcomvenience tu the entire com- munity.

7. That the experienee of the last five years fully convinces us that the Northern Light ia totally unnited to perfor that effi- ewat service undertaken by the Dominion Government, aud aa we are of opinion that ainple time bas Leen allowed for experiments, we submit that means should be edopted without further delay to secure to this Pro vince eoutinuous communication in accordance with the terms of Union.

%. That ove of the principal inducements beld out to this Province toencer theContedera- ion Was the promise of constant communica tion with the muivlaad and the prospect of

rticipating us the ben fits aii from the

ntercolonial Kailway aud other public works

from whieh ite inhabitants had been pre- viously debarred fur # large portion of the year, and to the maintenance of which they are calied upon to contribute witheut deriving any corresponding advantage.

Now, what is tae effect of this Resolu- tion? They defer the consideration of a Bill which provides for an imimediate elec- tion of beth Houses till a peried when such an election must of necessity take place- when out six of them must go, nolentes volentes.

We comimond the resolution and the action of the Legislative Council thereupon te the consideration of the property hoiders of this Province. Are they willing that their interests should be represented by a parcel of men whe cannot write fifry words of decent English, and do not knew the effect of a resulution which they have under consideration? It has sometimes been boasted by the Upper House, when asked what peculiar functions of legisiation are perturmed by them, that it is uecessary te have some properly constituted bedy to dot the i’s and cross the t’s in the Bills orig- inated by the House of Avsembly, This duty may be faithfully performed by their henors, and it is, loubtiess, the one for the discharge of which their mental capa:
