The kind of Union we have in contempla- tion, it may be easily seen, is not a Legislative Our little Parliament is a poor concern, the Lord knows—and we are not overs helmed with respect for it -~ but bad as it is, we are disposed to keep it, and we will try to make it better at the next election. The Canadians, New Bruns- wickers, and Neva Scotians don’t want to deprive us of our greatness in this respect; and, like sen- sible men, they don’t want to be deprived of their own in the same direction. The views of the gentlemen now in Conference, representing all the Provinces — or, the views, at least, of a majority of then — assume this shape: Each Provinee to retain its own Government, nearly as now constituted—the numbers of members in the several Legislatures may, without detriment to the local intereats, be reduced—the Governor would cease to be a servant of the Crown, doing the bidding of the Crown — he would be elected by the people, paid by them, and accountable to them fur his cenduct,—the expenses of the Civil Lists, and these entailed by a Provincial Army and Navy, would devolve upon the Previnces, which should pay according to their means and population, Each Province should provide for the payment of its own debt, and one Province not to be taxed for the payment of another’s debt. Each should contribute its proportion towards the expense of a Central Government and Central Parliament, in which all the Provinces would be represented. Whether this representation would be regulated by area and population, or whether each Province—the small as well as the large~-would be entitled to send the same number of Representatives, is a matter of detail which ean only be settled by the seperate Provincial Legisla- tures,or by future Conventions,such as that now sit- ting here, England’s connection with the Colonies would be represented merely by haying a Viceroy to preside over the deliberations of the United Government. He would have ne power to check local legislation in any way—he could not suppress the action of the Federal Legislature unless it interfered with Iwperial iuterests—all matters relating to intercolouial trade, commerce and military defences—aailways and maritiwe steam comuunication — light houses, currency, and postal regulations, — emigration, settlement of wild Jands,—land tenures, when they possess a Provincial character as they do here,—uniformity in the system of Education—all these things would come under the supervision of the Con- federate Legislature, and the then so-called Co- lonial Minister in Downinig Street would have no more right to interfere with eur meade of
