I have two objections te that Constitution, and that was well known by the whole Conference, the one constitutional, the other a financial] one, as you are aware from the resolutions | moved at the Confe- rence. The constitutional one is in referenee to the nominative appointment of the Upper Branch for life, without the power of the Crown to add to its numbers, as in the case

The Financial objection is in reference to | |

ment for loeal purposes, for it is admitted by the friends of the Union project that at least

We shall not aay anything about the excellent Grammar which characterises the above quotation especially in the concluding member of the sen- tence ; it is quite worthy of our learned Attornes General; but let us ask what construetion can be put upon the sense of the thing? Why it is this: ‘7 was anxious to say what was most pleasant and agreeable to my kind hosts at Toronto, but there was uot a syllable of truth in what I said. 1 teld the Toronte peaple nothing but lies, because { had not the courage to tell the truth; and the truth, as I understand it, would not have been pleasant aud agreeable to them.” We cannot argue or dilate in auy way upon a matter of this kind.
