COLONIAL rumor.”

(Front (1w Balm-dug It't‘i‘ltu' )

Mr, Adderley has recently published the, first part of what is intended to be a sort ; «If Constitutional history of our colonies, combined with an exposition oi his own theory of colonial government, Sili‘llH-t thing of the name sort was done by Lari 1 (irvy. after, he had long adiiiiiiisterrai the l‘uloiiial Office; and oneol'zlr. .-\dderlcy‘s_ main ob'eétq is to~ dciiiou‘straie tii'c ~ 5 ' of Earl 'rey‘s policy. and to set up ~ .tbeury of his o-~ n in its place. Mr. Ad- \Iei-ley‘s long devotion to thi' Hibpect en- titles his arguments to consideration. even ll'ont those who are nimble to see in llieiii

The chnngcsiii this respect have been very remarkable. Sir Cornwall Lewis ro- vired an almost forgotten tact when he reminded the men of our day that the early colonies of this country wu-io almost entirely independent except in tin-:r ex~ Tilt! rr‘r/imc til ‘ - Protection determined alike corhouic aml

colonial policy. The colonies commuui« cated only with the Board oi Trade. and so long as they supplied us with an ex- clusive Itiilrkel no one thought of meddl- ing with their own lilltllllflumtllil of internal allbirs. As the natural correlative oi' lltl:i independence the colonies assumed the duty oI sell-protection, .ind insteadm -ntumiurlng at the witlalrawl of llrittsh troops they were apt to resent as an en- croachment the appearance oi English t'edcoats to save them lroui dangers which they considered themselves well able to ward oil" by their own unassisted charts. The Protection theory of colonial govern- ment. broke down with the insane attempt to iniposu taxes by imperial authorities; -.niid when the failure ot the system was tuniiilested by the sure. 'slul revolt ol the North American colonies, an entirely new method of administration was attempted. For along time protection was continued 'tuore as a boon to the colonists than to uurseives, but the lending idea which came into vogue was no longer that at political independence. but oi centralized control. The assumption of the right oi more ener- getic interference on the part of the Mother country necessarily led to the not yet exploded theory that the colonies were 45I|llliUtl to rely almost exclusively on i England ior their dcieiicc. liritish troops maintained at. the cxpcnco at this country were not only tolerated but expected by :tll our colonies, and the new regime was‘l based upon the idea thatit was the function of England to gorcrii and to defend all lier outlying provinces. The system sap- zied at oiico the old sturdy self-r iaiice oi the provinci: s. and the striving for politi- cal liberty which had bccit so marked a characteristic of what are now tho United States. For infant settlements the plan was sullicicnlly unolijectionable; but no statesman could have expected or desired the Continuance oi'a. relation which could mot fail to encrvate the colonial mind. And one after another oni- provinces began to outgrow this maternal cuddling. De- ntands Wore made for more and more. ol the powers oi sell-government without any corresponding relaxation of tiic de- tnaud [or protection, and alter a short iii- tervai we tin'lted into the trnnasition levied with web Lord tircy‘s name is so largely associated.

Ject to a continually decreasing measuie

oi English control and influence, may go on tor ever without. either ripening into a Constitution which shall embrace the whole Empire or culminating it) ultimate little- peiidehee. We believe that to one or other at these conclusions our whole ooh

lonial history is pointing; and now that

t‘anada is as Ilt.‘..|‘ in time to London as Edinburgh once was. there are no physical ditileuhies which can be regarded as iii- snrmountablo in the way on. closer and more equal political connexion. But. lor tliu present these are mere fillt‘clllltiltllls, and thouin we may foresee that the tide must in course of time drift us into one haven ortliu utlior. Mr. Adderly is probab-

' ly right in assuming that the existing re-

lations may last tor many years in come without material alteration. in the lurm which they have alreava iicnrly reached. and which they are certain soon to assume, thcro will be in many respects advantages to both parties to the li'l""l|lll. The t‘ d~ oiiics praeti ly selllgoi ei ning and taking theirown s u of the dtity oi defence, will no iougc impose unreasonable bur- dens on this country, while something a little closer than the most intimate alliance will continue to knit their lot'tnucs with out both in peace or war. Mr. Adderly‘s min the is, we think, in assinning that a union so very little more than one of sen- timent cait be expected to sustain itself in all emergencies without sotiiu‘ more deli- uitu political connection. if we are dus- tilicd to lose what little remains oi English suprciitacy, it will become a. necessity either to acquiesce in the loss or to replace it by some lorin oi conledaratioii; and the ultimate dismcnibernient or perpetual uni- on of the various parts ol our Empire as it exists will turn upon the question, which another generation may have to solve, whether ledei'ai relations may or may not he loitiid to be practicable. if not, the present phase at colonial governmentseems not it‘s.) transitory titan those which pre- cecded it.
