Hon, Col. GRAY. Quite right; and his reasons were what [ have just enunciated. The Liod Purchase Bill is not binding or computsory, but the Award or Meport of the Land Commission would have been so,had it been made, The Hoo. the Leader of the Opposition has aavi the Government to beware, and not to raise bopes which they may not be able to fulfil. He has advised then nos to manifest too much eagerness to purchase the estates stilt in the hauds of the proprietors, lest by so doing they should cause @ rise in their price, This observation of the bon. member appears to me to be somewhat singular, and gives me reson to apprehend there is more conveyed by it thea appears ou the surface. ‘[ cannot, however, agree with him. So far from doing so, I would earnestly urge upon the Go- vernment ‘the paramount necessity of putting a stop, at once, and for ever, to the painful scenes wewwitnessed in our midst, last summer ; and this can best be done by i the provisions of the Land Purchase Bilt. Fifteen Yeais Purchase Bill applies only to the improved lands ; and, [ think, it would be better for tae proprietors were they to eell the whole of their estates ata reasonable ave- rage rate per acre, than to fiud themselves, io a dew years, the possessors of only some thousands of ecres of and sand. I have every reason to know that a more liber benevolent, and kind.hearted .man than the owner of « great part of tue late Sor Samuel Cuaards estates ia this island, does not exist. I allude to Mr, » Canard of Halifax ; and [ also believe that both Sir Ed ward Ouoaid and his brother would, should the Govern veut aneaifest « wish to purchase their properties be very willing to meet them half way. The hewesses of the late Right Hon. Lawrence Sullivan, I doubt not, would ‘be found equally as compliant. 1, therefore, incline to bdélieve that, were a slight advance to be made, by our Goverament, whether Liberal or Conservative, through the Legislarare,—say Is. or 1s, Gd. per acre, upon the maximum price of the Land Purchase Biil--5s. per acre-—and offers made, at the enhanoed rate of purchase, to those parties for their estates, such ef- fers woud be accepted by them. Aad, if so, then almost the who'e of the Township jands in the Colony would, with ‘the exception of those owned by Mr. Robert Bruce Stewart, be released from the leasehold tenure; and that esti gentleman himself would then, doubtless, influenced. example set him by those greater proprietors, ‘be willing te | treat with his tenants. on reasonable terms, for the conver- sion of ther leaseholds into freeho'ds.
