He thinks that if the matter were referred to representative men of Great Britain and the Colonies, a plan might, without much difficulty, be elaborated which, as the basis of a Federal Union, would commend itself to all thoughtful people.

The idea is the grandest of the Century Is it practical ?

Serious- Siaebe!

So, it appears, the Patriot was really serious! It will be admitted that if the delegates to Oitawa were grits aud not should have good cause for trepidation. When two delegates were considered a sufficieat number to away the independence of our Province, something terrible might be expected to;

Mr. McDonarn’s right to resume his seatin the N. S. Legislative Council,

is understood that the decision has a left to the Governor in Council. An ex- change says :—

**An official des] ed llth Jnly, 1843,

It speaks, explicity, in particular regard to the Legislative Council, ‘vacating the seats of members,’ either in the case of Bankruptcy lusolvency, or in any case where a member should a defaulter, or | should be convicted of any of the crimes whic th, lin the technical sonse of the word, are dis- | tinguished as infamous.” | <A little later, the present Premier of Great Britain, Right Hon.

|with the legislation of the different | |provinces or centralizing power with | reference to the subject at Ottawa. On the contrary, the only centraliza-

| tion on that subject, the only time in which '

‘that question was in any way interferred with by the Dominion Parliament, was | when the Scott Act was introdaced by the

‘late Government. (Hear, hear. ) Now it

‘is quite clear that if this Dominion Parlia- | ment has the power to 1 the Scott Act it has the exclusive right, because there is no soncurrent jurisdiction given by the British ‘North American Act to deal with the other | branch of the subject. (Hear, hear.) When the constitutionality of that Act was decid- ed against by the Provincial Court of New | Branswick, the Dominion Government, of which IT was a member, in order that the question might be scttled by a higher | tribunal, came to Parliument and got a vote of money for the purpose of paying the ex- | pense ot counsel on bot h in order | that we might get from the Privy Council tinal decision whether the ri: ght to deal that subject was a wmatter® of vv eovernment or a matter of trade and commerce residing in this Govern- ment or with the Provincial Legislature. The Privy Council had no doubt that the | power to deal with the question lay here, jand Lam rather surprised that my hon. | friend, the leader of the Oppesition did not | find leisure to read the decision in Russell lvs. the Queen, a copy of which was sent | nin. It must be quite clear to any man | who is a lawyer that the reason the Privy | Cor incil gave why this Parliament had the ve | rig ht to deal with the Scott Act is a reason why the Provincial Legislature of Ontario has not the right t y deal with the sub ject junder the Crooks Act, except as a matter jof wevenue only for provinei ial or municipal purposes. But the hon. gentleman says we yught to allow the matter to stand until it has been finally decided. Sir, if that de- cision is of any value whatever, there is no check at this moment in the Province of | Ontario against the unlimited, unrestrained sale of intoxicating liquors, This, therefore is not a matter that we can play with, it is not a matter of policy, it isa matter of neces- sity. If we wish to prevent the unrestrain- ed sale of intoxicating liqnors we must legislate immediately, and unless we do that I take it that any man in this town or in Ontario can open his saloon and sell liquor, and there is no court in the world to prevent his doing so provided he is ready

sides

i the wit h Fiji rd

to pay a license fee, if it is wanted for revenus purposes by the Government of

Ontario, This is not a state of things that ehould be allowed to exist, nor should the question be made a political plaything. (Hear, hear.) I[t is not a subject which "} gprs be made a political cry; it should lhe dealt with at once, and I am sure gentle- men on both sides of the House will at once at the request of the Government ad- dress themselves calmly and considerately to the best meaus—if it be true that we only can deal with the question. Of course if the Provincial Legislatures have not suffi- cient power to introduce regulations re- straining the sale of intoxicating liquors we must supplement any power they have, and aid the different provinces to prevent the mischief that is caused by the unrestrained sale of intoxicating liquors.

SIR JOHN ON THE BRIGHT PROSPECT, He (Mr. Blake) said that the prospect held out by my hon. friends was too good. He could not stand the light of prosperity as shed over the House from thie lips of the mover and seconder of the address. ‘(Laughter and applause.) 1 do not think the hon. gentleman really loves darkness better than light, because his deeds are the reverse of good ; but I know this, that he complains that there are no shadows. W ell, the shadows may come by-and-bye. The hon. gentleman says our majority has been reduced. If that reduction should con. tinue and we should be left in a minority, then indeed would we soon have shadows enough—(hear, hear)--we have brilliant sunshine now. The light of prosperit y shines over us, but political and financial clouds wil] be sure to. arise, and than the hon. gentleman’s artistic and esthetic tastes will be gratified to the fullest extent; in fact the brash of Rembrandt will appear to have touched the picture rather than that of Turner, shoutd the Reform party return to power. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentlemon puts me in mind of the old Newcastle captain who had been boxing the channel for a number of years. In the exigencies of the Napoleonic war he was the master of a man-of-war, and | was sent to the West Indies, where he re-

mained for seven years. When he came | back to England and felt the Channel |

drizzle once more, he put on his old son’- wester and his thick pea-jacket and said ;: ‘** This is something like weather; none of your infernal blue skies for me!’ (Loud |
