| able Ndward Cardwell, your Majesty's Principal Seeretary of State for the Colonial | Departnent, to Lord Viscount Monek, Go- }vernor General of Canada, dated the 3rd of | December, 1864, relative thereto, hambly beg leave to approach your Majesty's Throne, for the purpose of conveying to your august | | Majesty the expression of our desire and de- | termination, as the Constitutional Represen- | tatives of the people of Prince Edward Is- j land, in regard to the great question involved lin the said Report; and having, after most | mature deliberation, arrived at the corclusion | that the propesed Confederation, in so far as |it is contemplated to embrace Prince Edward | Island, would prove disastruus to the beat | interests and future prosperity of this Colony, |we would hambly crave leave to state the | grounds upon woich Chat conclusion is based

First, Prince Edward Island being entirely depender ton its Agricalture and Fisheries, has no staple commodity te export for which )}Canada can furnish a market — (Canada | being also essentially an agricultural eoun- /ury, aud possessing valcable and extensive [fisheries in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.) That while such is, and evet must be, the relative commercial positior of this Island and Ca- }nada, the products of our soil and fisheries |tind in the extensive markets of our Parent |Country, the United States, and the West Indies, ready and profitable customers, That the propos-d Union, while admitting the ‘produce and manufactures of Canada into ‘this Island free, would, by uass:milation of | tuxes, enormously increase the duty to which i thuse of Great Britain and the United States are at present subject in this Island, thereby compelling this Colony to take a large por- tien of ats imports from Canada, making payment therefor in money, ins'ead of pro-

ment sv sconsistent with tue fundamental] principles of commerce that it would not only greatly curtail our commercial intercourse with Great Britain and the United States, | hut materially diminish our exporis tu those } councries, and prove nmivst injurious to the jagricultural and commercial interests of this | ishaud.

| Second, That if the relative cireumstances tof Canada and this Island rendered a anion practicable, the evident injustice of the terme ‘agreed tu by the Quebec Conference would prevent their being ratified by this Island. | Without entering into full detail on this pees of the subject, or adverting to the fact, that by the proposed terms of the Con- federation we are called upon to transfer to | the Confederate Exchequer a steadily in- lerapsing Revenue, and tuat too, under our collaroinels low tardf. for a fixed and set-
