During the time when a large majority of the Assembly of prer Canada followed M. Papiuenu as their leatlcr, it was obviously the aim of that gentleman to discourage all who did their duty tottlie Crown within the PI'0\'lnCE,lIlI(l to deter all who should resort to Canada with British habits and feelings from without. ‘I need not say it Would have been impossible for tiny Minister to'support, in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, the measures which a. Ministry, headed by M. Pnpitiettu, would have imposed upon the Govertfor of Lower Canada. British oflicors punished ,for doing their duty—Britishemigrants defrauded of their property—British merchants discouraged in their lawful pursuits, Would have loudly appealed to Parliament against the Canadian Ministry, and would

have demanded protection.

Let us suppose the Assembly as their constituted to have been sitting when Sir. John Colborne suspended two of the Judges. Would any Councillor possessing the confidence of the Assembly have made hitnselfresponsible for such an art? And yet the very safetv ofthe province depended on its adoption. Nay, the very ortlei‘s of which your Excellency is yourself the bearer, respecting

/ Messrs. Bedard and Panet, would never be adopted or pitt itt execu- tion by a Ministry depending for existence on a majority led by M.

Papineau.

Nor can any one take upon himself to say that such cases will not again occur. The principle once sanctioned, noone can say how soon its application might be dangerous, or even dislionottr- able, while all will agree that to recall the power thus conceded

would be impossible. , V

\Vltile I thus see insuperable objections to the adoption of the principle as it has been stated, I see little or none to the practical views of Colonial Government recommended by Lord Durham, as . I understand them. The Queen’s Government have no desire to thwart the Representative Assemblies 0 British North America in the measure of reform and iiitpioyement. They have no wish to make those Provinces the resource for patronage at home. They arnesilv intent on giving to the talent and character of lending to those which talent

:

are in persons in the (‘olotiies advantages similar and character employed in the public service obtain in the United Kingdom. Her Majesty has no desire to maintain any system of policy among her North American subjects which opinion con- demns. In receiving the Queen‘s commands. therefore, to protest against any declaration at variance with the honour of the Crown and the unity of the Empire, I am at the same time instructed'to announce Her Majesty‘s gracious intention to look to the :tfi'eciion- ate attachment of her people in North America as the security for

permanent dominion.

It is necessary for this purpose that no official misconduct should be screened by her Majesty's Representatives in the Provinces f and that no private interests should be allowed to Compete with the general good, Your Excellency is fully in possession oftlte prin~ ciples which have guided her Majesty’s advisers on thissubject; and you must be aware that there is no surer way of eayning the apprbhation ofthe Queen than by maintaining the harmony of the Executive with the Legislative authorities.

VVhileIhnve thus cautioned yoii against any declaration from which dangerous consequences might hereafter flow, and instructed line of your condtict. it may be attid thatl

have not drawn any specific line beyond which the power of the

Governor on the one hand, and the privileges of the Assembly on r the other, ought not to extend. But this must he the casein any

mixed government. Every political constitution in whiclt'dtfl‘erent

bodies share tlte supreme power, is only enabled to eitist by the forbearance of those among whom this power is distributed. In this respect the cxample'of England may be well imitated. Tl-o

Sovereign using the prerogative of the Crown to the utmost extent,

and the House of Commons exerting its power of the nurse, to carry

all its resolutions into immediate effect, would produce confusion in the country iti less than a twelmmontli. So in a Colony: the ’ Governor thwarting everv legitimate proposition of the Assembly, andrlte Assemblv cotttinitttlly recurring to its power of refusing supplies, can liut'rlisturb all political relations. embarrass trailemud retard the prosperitv of the people. Each must exercise" Wise moderntiou.—~Tlie Governor must only tippnsp, the wish... nf‘ [he Assembly, where the honour of thoCt-nwn, m- ilm imprpsis of the
