There was no necessi- ey, he thought, for delay, we were quite at lil erty. uf pleased to do so, to take the inidative in &@ matter of this nature. The present meeting had been convened to con- | sideT & proposition coming to us trom the Congress ot the United States.

recollected that at the time the British G»- Vetnment removed the protective dotios on timber, the Merchants of New Brunswick beeame outrageous, end threatened to joun the United States: and it was this circum. stance that first induced him to direct his attention to the e misting trade, tk (Myr. Coles) duly appreciated the diflcubtios under Which our fishermen labored at prosent, in consequence of the high duty FH poco d upon our mackere| by the Americans; but Mr. Hall would, he thought, admit that it was useless to seek the abrogation of those duties unless we were prepared to Hive Some egui- valent in exchange therefor. On this point the Atmericaus were verv firm. The number of men-of-war now on the station might have been tie means of calling the attention of the Americans to this subject more deci- dedly than any thing else could have done : and he hoped the principles embodied in the Resolution would soon be earried out. Ile (Mr. Coles) was pleased to learn from the delegates that Reciprocity was viewed with much greater favor at the Portland Convens tion than it was at the Detroit Convention, a few vears since, tnd which be bad himself attended as one of the delegation for this Island.

Davin Lain, Esquire, was of opinion that this Island ought to be placed on the same footing us the Americans, with refer- ence to the coasting trade; and though this was a concession trom them which we wight not obtain, yet, as it was our right, We ought to contend for it.

Lienry Ilaszarp, Esquire, thought that if We gave away what we now have, we would not in all probability obtain the privilege alluded to at any future period. He thouglit wlso that, small as this Island is, we had more to offer, in exchange for the privileges asked for, than all the other Colonies pat together.

Some persons seem ty think the attempt hopeless, unlese the same privilege were conceded to the whole of the North American Provinces. He (Mr. Palmer) was not ef that opinion.

He knew that < jections had heen raised to the course thi J were now pursuing with reference to Uhls matter. The Dominion would have to state the terme and conditions upon whieh ele would accept of Free Trade : and he hoped that any conditivns of stipulations she might enter into with the American Govera- went would conduee to the interest of P. ©.

be a much more favorable result than Reci-|

The Hon.

A special Session of the Legisla- ture was convened,—the termes of the Treaty were approved of, and ¢hey all knew the ad- ventageous that had rosylied thereirom, Phey all knew also that it was the people of the United States who abrogated that Treaty, and they now saw that its provisions were quite as advantages to them as they were to us.
