(Great applause) I was told the other day that just after the Confederation Act was passed the number of letters sent—I think it was in a week or a fortnight, 1

refer to the Confederatien Act of 1867, and » the share, whatever it was, that I had in passing that important measure. As you were speaking I bethought me of those who were my colleagues in England on that oc- easion. I have the happiness of seeing three of them—most distinguished men— present here to-night; my old friends, if { may say Sir Leonard Tilley, Sir Alex. T. Galt and Sir Hector Langevin (applause), with whom I have been so pleased to renew an acquaintance, after being separated for so many years. I wish I could number more here to-night. (Hear hear.) Some are unavoidably absent by reason of the great cares of office and by other pressing business, but some are no longer on this side of the Great River. If I might, for one moment, single out the remembrance of one for whom I had a deep regard, and I may say a personal affec- tion, it would be the memory of Sir George Etienne Cartier. (Loud applause.) English and French alike may remember him with pleasure and with pride. 1 recall well all his charming qualities, and I delight to think that one whose name was so familiar with his generation, and who played so im- portant a part in Capadian politics, is des- tined to have a statue erected to his

memory in Ottawa. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Well Sir, in 1867 it was my good fortune to take a small share in England in the passage ef that important measure. Since

then I have been again in office, but I may truly say that I look back upon the Act with greater pride than on any other Act of all my public life and I deeply prize the recollection of it. (Loud applause.) I in- deed played but a small part. (No, no.) It was given to me only to place the coping stone, as it were upon the edifice which others had built. It was jealousies that we laid aside; the practical unanimity which you, sir, described, that we adopted. These were the true foundations upon which the great measure rested. I try to recall now that I am in Canada, what the position wes of Canada before that measure became law? There were separate provinces, jeal- eus, and proudly jealous, of their rights. There was, and there had to he, much sacrifice of personal feeling and of legal rights, and there was, (as those of my three colleagues who are here will re- member), great anxiety in discussing the great difficulty of adjusting the balance of power between the Dominion Government and the sovereign rights of the several pro- vinces. How great that difficulty was can be best imagined when we remember that it cost that great republic across our border a long and bloody war to determine it, and that after that war and after one hundred years of national existence, even now ques- tions involving the rights of the Federal Government and of the States from time tu time crop up to be decided by the peaceful arbitration of the tribunals of the land. It was, therefore, no easy matter, I say, to adjust skilfully that balance of power. But it has been adjusted (applause), and for fifteen or sixteen years this great Dominion has worked on without any friction. (Loud applause.) It shows, therefore, that the engineers who framed the machinery did rot greatly miscalculate the power of the respective parts to each other. (Great epplause.) Gentiemen, pray think for one | moment how isolated was the position of | those several provinces. With separate custom houses along the entire frontier, guarding the commerce of each province, hostile tariffs interfering with the free transmission of goods, men bought and sold in those different provinces with dif- | ferent currencies; they weighed out the | articles by a different scale of weights and | measures; banking was carried on under different conditions, and the postal service, which now ranges with perfect uniformity from one end of the Dominion to the other. was a different system in each different province. Now, all that has been united and brought under one common system. (Applause.) Nay, more than that. We have seen every great question peaceably and naturally solved. (Applause.) There was the Hudson Bay Oompany question which, I remember, was the perplexity and vexation of every politician that came beneath the walls of Downing Street—a question that ranked second only to the Nowfoundland Fisheries in complexity (applause), a question that was made up of charter rights and historical researches and local opin- ‘ons, and conflicting views all heaped ene upon another,—Pelion upon Qssa,—

amd ail this has een quivtly awd, I think,

‘nerve of many.

English spirit of health, pregress, and energy. (Loud applause.) All those I have seen, and while life remains these recollections will never fade from my memory; but 1 have also seen (and with most inexpressible pleasure), on every side of me, the evidences of prosperity, of com- fort, of happiness and contentment. (Lond

applause.) I have reeognized a land, not of luxuries, but a land where the necessaries of life abound and where

the life of her citizens is manly, simple, vigorous. (Loud applause.) Oh, Sir Francis and gentlemen, may that long last; may that long be your lot, and I sincerely hope and trast that none of the corruptions of modern civilization, neither the love of money nor the feverish desire for specula- tion, may ever tempt you to forfeit that which seems to me to be the crown of glory to you. (Applause.) But I know that it is sometimes said that questions arise, and difficulties, and even, perhaps, some little friction in different parts of your constitu- tional machinery. (Hear, hear.) Well, my answer to that is twofold : First of all, I remember the words of a very wise sage of old who said that every well constituted state required a discordant concord. (Ap- plause.) From time to time it is needed that the waters of your lake should be stirred in order to keep them pure, and in the next place, these difficulties, these slight frictions are incident to all human work- raanship. I would venture to say to your statesmen, and if | dare to take upon my- self. I would believe that it woald be the opinion of the highest tribunals, that that act is not to be construed merely as a mun- icipal act; it is to be viewed as a treaty and as an alliance, aud I would say to the great mass and body of the people that no legis- lative or constitutional machinery can be maintained in its efficiency unless there be sobriety of judgment and plain common sense on their part. (Applause.) Gentle- men, what is it that has created this pros- perity that I admire so much; what magi- gician is it who is waving his wand over your magniticent country! I believe it to be, first of all, that you owe deep obliga- tions to your statesmen (hear, hear,) those who originally conceived the design, and those again who, whatever their differences of opinion might have been, loyally accept- ed it when it had become law. (Applause.) Next I believe you owe much to this noble country, so rich in all its gifts, and lastly, to the free and great people that live with- in it. Gentlemen, the greatest gift that England has bestowed upon you seems to me to be this: that we have given you ab- solute, unqualified, unstinted freedom in self-government. (Loud applause.) I say | unstinted freedom in self-government, com- bined with a union with the ancient mon- archy of England. (Loud and _ prolonged applause.) But, gentlemen, true it is that no gift, no heritage, if it is to endure, can remain unimproved. Nations, like men,

ever rise to a higher conception of their duties, or they sink to a lower and still lower level. (Hear, hear.) And I appre-

hend that the law of all individual and political life isthis, that there must be constant progress, but orderly, harmo-

nious progress. (Loud applause.) May such, gentlemen, be your lot, may

you go on from _ political strength

to political strength in the course

which you have already adopted. The

nations of the old world are passing

through a time of difficulties and trials,

which perpiexes many and strains the

I am not myself gloomy,

or given to foreboding. I believe in the

triumph of right principle, but in onr sky

there are many clouds which may cause at

least anxiety. With you on this side of

the Altantic the difficulties are very Giffer-

ent; you have great and new problems to

work out, problems as important to your-

selves, as they are important, [ believe, to! the welfare of the whole human race,

(Hear, hear, and applause.) May I only

express this hope that in working out

these questions, they will be worked out

on the old lines of a God-fearing and law

abiding people. (Loud applause.) One

word more. Canada is no ordinary pos-

session of the Crown (hear, hear, and ap-

plause); none may rank entirely beside

her, even in the group of noble nationali- | ties which England, the mother of! nations, has planted abroad. (Applause,) | But as your position, gentlemen, is great, | so also are your duties and responsibilities | great. (Hear, hear.) You have to deal | with many of the questions that in ordin- | ary circumstances an independent power,

would have to dval with; questions arixing

HX A MOL IN out of your Federal Government, out of your settlement of new territories, aye, and 1 would even say, out of your foreign re- lations. | pray you only so to administer this great trust which has been confided to you, that you may administer it in an In:- perial and not merely in a Colonial spirit. (Loud applaase.) We have, gentlemen, thank God, many ties, some visible, some hardly perceptible, but they are not the least strong to bind us together. (Loud applause.) One, very important, is the most visible of all, to which you, Sir Francis alluded, a short time since, when you gave the health of His Excellency the Governor-General. He is the representa. tive of the Sovereign in this country; and if on the eve of the departure of my noble friend, Lord Lorne, | may be permitted to say one word without presumption, it would be this: it has been my fortune to to deal with several Governors General of this Dominion, and I may truly say, to the best of my belief, none of them ever administered their great trust in a more hearty, unostentatious, single mind- ed, and unselfish spirit ; none have ever sought more fully than Lord Lorne to identify himself with Canada and Cana- dian interests (loud and long continued ap- plause.) It will be hard, I think, to find his equal (hear, hear,) but though his suc- cessor, 1 believe, will labor to follow in his footsleps in this respect, | cannot view his departure without regret—for pray believe me, I was before | came here half a Cana- dian at heart, and now I am an entire Canadian (applause)—I cannot, I say, as a Canadian, view his departure without sincere regret (hear, hear and applause.) There are yet some other ties of connection between Canada and the Mother Country, which are very powerful; I fain woulc. see more Canadians go to England; I would fain see more Englishmen enjoy the happi- ness of a welcome in Canadian homes. (Loud applause.) I am quite sure that both parties gain largely by the intercourse. (Hear, hear.) Canada may gain somewhat from the accumulated wealth of learning, of literature, of mental activity in England, from the great heritage which bas come down to us in these respects through un- broken centuries of civilization; but Eng- land may gain, | am _ confident, still more largely by contact with the free and simple and natural life of Canada. (Loud ap- plause.) Coming as I do from the artificial and the sometimes overheated atmosphere of European life, I welcome the air bath into which J am plunged here in Canada. (Applause.) 1 would almost venture to bring to mind those exquisite lines ef Milton:—

As one who long in populous cities pent, Where houses thick and sewers annoy the alr, Forth issuing on a summer morn te breathe Among the pleasant cottages and farms, Adjoined, from each thing met, conceives delight. (Applause.) Such, gentlemen, have been my feelings during the last few weeks I have spent in Canada. (Applause,) Gentle- men, | have trespassed longer, much longer than I had intended upon your time and patience. (No, no.) I only wish that I could find words adequately to express the great pleasure with which I have seen this vast country, to express the overwhelming, boundless kindness and hospitality, which has covered me from the first hour that I set foot on Canadian soil, to the last hour that | am with you; that I could express the strong sense of feeling that during whole time I have been here, I had been in Eng- land and, too, in the happiest parts of England, and lastly, that I could express my ardent desire that the connection of England with this great country may strengthen with her strength and grow with her growth. (Loud and prolonged applause.) Gentlemen, in legislation, as in self-government, you are, and may ever remain, free as the winds of heaven, but in loyalty to the Crown, in love to the mother country, may you ever be bound by chains of adamant. (Loud applause.) Individuals pass swiftly, like shadows, across the mortal scenes, but the life of the State is a long one; that which to the individual is so long, is to the State a very short affair; party politics, gentle- men, cannot divide us. Statesmanship has many forms and many voices, but in spite of all these individuals may do much. Let us in our generation teach our children on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean that we in Canada and in England are kith and kin, members of a common family, subjects of coramon Sovereign, and united to each other by ties of most loving affection which Time in his course can only strengthen.

His Lordship resumed his seat amid a

perfect ovation.
