by putting Coles into the old Conncil. He (Mr. McLean) was on good private terms with Mr. Coles, and thought him as fit for the Council as any one, but he had no business in it, as at present constituted. The Colonial Office knows the Governor well, and will think strangely of the people for passing these Resolutions. If the Crown maintain a Governor against the wish of the House of Assembly of any Colony, she forfeits the al- legiance of that Colony. The game played in this little Island would never have been tried in any strong Colo- ny. “ Antigua,” in the words of her historian, “would be ever famous for its opposition to Tyranny.” The Governor of that Island had misbehaved both publicly and privately. The House of Assembly prayed repeat- edly for his recall, and it was not granted. He, fear- ful of the sworn vengeance of many, surrounded his house with Soldiers; but the Militia, who were pretty well trained to the use of arms, walked up, took him to the public square, and hanged him. What was the con- sequence? The British Government, knowing that a Jury could not be found in the Island to convict the rioters, had them taken to London for trial, but when they got them there they dared not try them, knowin that they themselves had committed the first breach by refusing to recall him when desired. He would ad- vise the meeting not to put too much confidence in Mr. Coles’ quarrel with the Charlottetown folks, as those gentlemen very often found no difficulty in making up their grievances over a bottle of wine. He must say again, that he was astonished at the Resolutions.

Mr. Coles came only as a spectator, and not to take any part in the meeting; but hearing that Mr. Rae was to attend to vindicate his conduct during the last Ses- sion, and knowing that if this meeting should condemn that conduct, he also would consider it condemning his, as he was proud to say that he had agreed and voted with Mr. Rae on all important questions. As to Mr. Montgomery’s opinion about accepting office with the old Council, he (Mr. C.) had done no more than what Mr. Howe and his party had done in Nova Scotia, where, so long as the Governor was favourable to their views, they retained their seats at his Council Board ; but when the Governor of that Province broke faith with the li- beral party by calling Mr. Almon to the council, a gen- tleman notoriously opposed to their policy, they resign- ed their seats ; and should Sir Henry now call Mr. Pope or any of his party, to his council, on a vacancy occur- ing, he (Mr. ©.) would feel it his duty to resign, It had been said that the Governor’s speech—or so much of it as related to Responsible Government—was directly op- posed to the System. He did not think so: on the con- trary, he believed the principles laid down in the Go- vernor’s speech to be essentially necessary to the safe working of the Responsible System. I for one (Mr. C. continued) would not accept office, unless I was pre- pared to concur in the just and constitutional views of the Governor. What use is a Representative of the people in the Executive Branch, where he is sworn to secrecy, if he dissents from the Governor? If his con- stituents should disapprove of the acts of the Govern- ment, the representative must, in order to vindicate his conduct, resign his seat. Lord Falkland accused Mr. Howe and his party of a desire to embarrass the Go- vernment when they resigned; but this Sir Henry could not do, were the principle which he himself laid down

- carried into effect. The letter addressed to me by Mr.

Rae, previous to my acceptance ofa seat in the Coun- cil, has been made the subject of much remark, and an attempt made to show, that as that letter was not signed by a majority of members, my appointment was not sanctioned hy a majority. This reasoning is ridiculous, for the letter was never intended to be an indication of the feeling of the House on the subject of it. Had Mr. Rae thought it necessary that other members of the House should sign the letter, I do not hesitate to say they could be got to doso. Messrs. Clarke and N. Conroy expressed themselves satisfied with the appoint- ment, and Mr. D. Maclean declared that he would offer no opposition to my re-election, which was then deemed a necessary consequence of that appointment: these facts prove that ny appointment would not be opposed by a majority of the members. It has been rumoured, that on my acceptance of a seat in the Council, I would cease to advocate liberal measures. I tell those who have circulated the falsehood, that if I found I could not be as true to liberal principles and as serviceable to the liberal party inthe council, as out of it, I would resign to-morrow. My determination to work with the liberal party has aroused the indignation of a certain Clique in Charlottetown against me, but I care very little about all they can do or say, either one way or the other; and I will tell Mr. Maclean that if he thinks I will fol- low his example in reconciling myself to old enemies, and forgetting our feuds, over a bottle of wine, he alto- gether mistakes my true character and disposition. Mr. Maclean has instanced the conduct of the people of An- tigua, on one occasion, towards a Governor of that co- lony. J would suggest, that perhaps the anger of these people clouded their reason, and left them very much like certain parties in this Island, who are so blinded by their rage as to be unable to discover the merits of the man they most abuse, (Mr. Coles concluded, after making some further remarks, by expressing his hope that he would never be betrayed into any proceeding that might weaken his claim to the confidence of the li- beral party.)

Mr, Rae did not exactly agree with Mr. Coies’ saying he would resign, if Pope should succeed in getting inte
