Tue Colonial Seer-tary bas, with hie characteristic want

“~

of sruthfulocss aud decency, resumed his attacks upon the | character uf the lon. Col. Swabey, who iias only receutly left | our shores with the unleigned regret of a majority of our | fellow-culonisis, and with very high testimonials of respect | from persons of gil slides of politics. The position which the | Colonial Secretary and Clerk of the Cowne:! has now assumed sgainst an vid and distinguished public officer like Mr. Swabey, | is, that he advocated while here ** principles such as no Aonest | man or Joyal subject of the Queen would countenance or sup- | port ;"’ and the Clerk of the Council undertakes to justify this} charge. But what isthe nature of the justificatiun offered ? | Why, it is the most silly and contemptible that any man in | bis senses could propose. We are told, truly enough, that in |

i

1859 Col. Swabey published a pamphlet on the Land Ques |

tion, in which be advucated the right vf tie Colony to exer- |

‘”

¢ise and enjoy the Lmperial interests conceded under the Civil | Liet Bull of 1851, and declared his determination to oppose the

proprietary claims set up in opposition to that Billi. Culonel Swabey suid, in bie pamphiet :—** My views on this interest- | jug question, in whieh [ aw in ao way personally interested, | ere opgused to the proprietary claims,’’ because, he adds, | * they, the proprietors, have disregarded all the gracious and favourable uffere made to thew va the subject by the rown,

and set at nougat all the eunditions on which they accepted She bova the Crown conlerred on them."’ The Clerk of the | Couneil, having given these extrecte froin Coloned Swabey's} Pamphlet, proceeds to argue that they enunciate the doctrine |

of eschest—thut escheat is“ divhunest,”” and the advocacy of | Selves ashamed of—are published with the tacit concurrence New York, 4471 bus. vats, 1439 do. potatoes, de,

is * disloyal,” ioawmuch as sundzy ceepatebes have been re-| ceived (rom Colvwial Ministers as (at back as 183%, condemn-| jag the agitatioe of that question. The « lerk of the Council thea quutes several extracts from those dexpatciies, all of | whieh have beew read aud re-read in the Lvuse uf Assembly seores uf times.

New, there could be no better proof of the high integrity of Vol. Swabey's character than sueh a miserable trumpery chatge asthis. Supposing the honorable gentieman had gone |

;

the refusal of a Colonial Minister. 1, Sir, would never aub-|

d mit to such dictation, but would take my position up the | pay up | papers are stupped, their names will be published as de-|

higher grounds of my right awa British freoman.”’

in the same debate, the Hon Mr. Montgomery, now} faulters.

Speaker of the House of Assembly, gave his testimony in| favour of Escheat in the following words :—

* Asto the argument that the Llome Government would) not allow a Cuurt of Escheat to be established because they had previously refused it, we know that many things have | heen granted which had previously been denied. I see no rea- eon, Mr Chairman, for Hon. Members ou jecting to the estab- hehment of a legal and constitutional Court of KEscheat, if for no other purpose than to put an end to the agitation of this question. A proprietor having « good tithe to bis land will have no cause to fear an investicction, and whould ta my opi- nion, be the first to support the justitution of such a Court, and [ thiek it our duty, Sir, to endeavour tu obtain the Court, only to quiet the minds of the peo; le. which will not be un- til the Court eball bave been established °’

The Hon. Francis Longworth, the present Collector of Ex-

Cise, was a very determined advecate of Eseheat at the same

time. He expressed bie approval of the measure in the ful-

lowing language, and moved the subjvined resvlution :—

‘+ T am dispesed to go fora Court of Exeheat., and when | say that, L do not mean to express the opinion that the lands are liable to be escheated (Laughter.) lion. Members may laugh, but Teun cell them, they may find it to be nu jaughing matter, and it muy be. that if they du not support the estab. lishment of ws Court of Exscheat, their constituents may laugh them out of the House of Assembly at the next Election.”’

* Still, Mr. Chairman, Cam in faror of a Court of Escheat. I consider that we are as much entitled to it as the people of Canada, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, all of whic!) Colonies have it us pert of their instisutions. And, Sir, [ think there ig & greater reason for it in this Island, as we know that by grants improvidently issued, the whole Island was granted in one day. Although the British Government may refuse to allow us the Court, and the lapse of time since the date of the original grants, now sume 80 years, may be considered as a conlirmatiun uf the title of the grantees, [ will advocate the Court, and | should wi-h to see a majority of this Lhouse in favor of it, im order to quiet the minds of the people and pre- vent any man or any set of men from making 7 dlitical cay i- tal out of the agitation on this eubject.”’

** [tis our cynstitutional right to have such a Court, and ae ldo not approve of the wording of the resolution moved by | the Hon. Mewher. Mr. Cooper, I sug est tu the coasideration of the Committe the following ;

* Tost 1 is (Xpedient te eat bl su a Court of competent Jurisdiction to iiveetigaic auu decide upon the titles ty all Township Lands in tuis

islauu.* *’

It would be easy to give other extracts of a similar tendency from the speeches of ** hon rable members’’ on the Lory si , having been delivered in the same debate ; but we have already devoted wore space to a notice of Mr. Pope's attack

vo tol, Swabey than that matter deserves. Lt must be grati-

fying to the triends of the gallant Colonel that no other | ebarge can be preferred against him by the most deep, design- | ing and implacable of his enemies than that which is tused | on Col. Swabey’s alleged advocacy of Escheat ; and if he had advocated that measure, and acted the part of a disloyal sub-

ject in duing so, the present Attorney General, who was in

! office at the t me, should have taken notice of Col. Swabey’s

pamphlet when it was published ; and the Lieut. Governor eiveld Lave called upon bis constitutiunal advisers and offi- | cials—who were more strongly committed than Col. Swabey —to read a recantation of their opinions on Escleat.

Maoy persone ia the ranks of the Conservative party profess |

j

to be mach disgusted at the unwanly attacks of the Colonial |

| Secretary on the character of the absent ( vlonel, who had | Eliza, only daughter of Mr. Thos. D. Tanton, of this City, im the 17th | year of her age, deeply regretted by a large eirele of friends and rela-

speata large fortune in the Is!and—who was always a firm triend vf every local charity and useful institutioo—whose deportment in all the relations of private life was unblemisied ; | and whose public career—according to the testimony of his | bitterest enemy—cannot be assailed by any other charge than that he did at one time oppose the extravagant claims of the) Proprietary party ; and his opposition was then influenced by | a desire t secure the public interests. The frieads of Col. | Swubey cannot be much annoyed at anything that may be written by Mr. William H. Pope, in his private capacity, against their absent friend ; but when it is knowu that Mr. William H. Pope is in hourly communication with the Lieut. | Governor and bis advisers—that be is their wost confidentia!
