CONFEDERATION QUESTION.

| sendin | Agreeably to appointment by public notice,

the Hon. Gzorce Cores, M. P. P. was met, at the Ten-Mile House, St. Peter's Raod, on Thursday afternoon, the 21st. instant by a number of his constituents—his object being

“*to ascertain their views on the proposed

Confederation of the North American Co- lonies.’’

_ ‘The meeting haying deen daly organized | by calling of Alexander Hiayden, Senr. Esq.

to the Chair, and the appointment of Mr. Fitzpatrick, as Secretary ,—

Hon Mr. Cores addressed the meeting to the following effect. He said the Quebec

thoroughly discussed, not only in the House |

of Assembly, but in the newspapers, he would take it for granted that they were all suffi- Liowever, before opening up the question at ail, he wished to observe that, as it was the most important that had ever been submitted to the consideration of the people, and one upon which private as well as political friends were divided in opinion, it would, he thought, be wise, with a view ‘o a calm and dispassionate examination of it, to prosecute the discussion without allusion or reference to any other public question, or to any party policy or action whatever ; and, therefore, he had re-

solved to confine himself strictly, in any re- marks which he might offer to the meeting, to a simple and direct disquisition of the mat-

ter, apart from every other consideration. |

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia having now. —contrary to their former decision—declar- ed in favor of Confederation ; and its having been asserted, again and again, that if these Provinces go into the Union, Prince Edward | Island will be forced to go in also, he, as one | of the parliamentary representatives of the people, had thoughtit to be bis duty to en- deavour to procure from the people them- selves—especially from his own constituents —a direct expression of their own views on the proposed Confederation. Lle certainly did not believe that, under any circumstances, Prince Edward Island would be forced into it, agaist ber own will ; and he also believed that the vast majority of the people were most decidedly opposed to it ; but, lestsilence should be construed into consent, he thought it was the duty of such public men, as were, like himeelf, “of opinion that our being made a member of it would be most injurious to our general interests, to cali public meetings, each in bis own district, that the question wight be fairly und openly discussed by the people themselves throughout the whole ot the Island. If we went into the Uuion we would actually have to give up one half of our revenue to the general government, Our revenue, last year, was nearly £70,000; but under the Canadian tariff ic would have been £100,000. Llad we beenin the Union, under our existing tariff, our loss, last year, would have been £35000; under the Canadian tariff, it would have been £50000. if haif our annual revenue were thus to be taken away from us, and troops were not to be we would have to submit to local taxation for defence against ag- gressions from without and for the preserva- tion of internal peace. Our tenantry think their rentsa heavy burthen; but what would they think were we obliged to submit to such taxation as is levied in Canada, where the an- nualt xation far exceeds the amount of our an- nualrentage. 1f we go into the Union, and lose the control of gur cwn affairs, our chance of obtaining justice from the general parlia- ment will be small indeed. The demands and remonstrances of our five members in a House of Commons of 194 members would only be ridiculed and laughed at, unless, in- deed, it might happen occasionally that they harmonized with the views of the leading Canadian statesmen. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to contrast a nominee Legis- lative Council with an elective one. Under the Confederation Constitution, the members of the Legislative Council were to be nominat- ed by the Crown, their appointments several- ly were to be for life, no member could be removed, and neither couldany addition be made to their number ; and consequently they would be altogether independent of popular contro!; but, under the Constitution of Prince Edward Island, the m+mbers of that

| branch of our legislature, like those of the

lower house, were elected by the people, and consequently amenable tu the people. Our Legislative Council are now unanimous against Confederation ; but were they, as ol

old, mere nominees 0. the Crown, the pro-|

bability is that they wnuld be in favor of it, as being nominated by the Imperial Go- verpment. That was one of the reasons why be originally objectedto the Quebec Scheme. The hon. gentiewan then explained that the only thing which induced him during the Conference in Quebec to give any thing like

|a favorable consideration to the Scheme, was | effect :

a promise made to him hy the Canadian de‘e- gates that, for giving up the privilege of t.x-

Castings, Thrashing Machines and Mud Diggers, | Had he been able to secure the grant of | | £200,000 sterling, for the purpose spoken of,

he would have been constrained to gu for the Scheme ; but now, even although the other Provinces should accept it, he would oppose our going into it, unless terms should be offered to us much more advanta-

ous than those of the Quebee Scheme. In Canada they say no change can be made in the Scheme, and that it must be carried into effect us it was originally drawn up. It was Mr. Tilley, whom New Brunswick has

‘now returned, who first objected to the grant

of £200,000 to Prince Edward Island, al- though he took care to secure for New Bruns- wick a grant of $63,000 a year for ten years, for a local work; and agreed to subsidize annual grant of $150,000 s» long as the Union should last.

R. P. Hayraorne, Esquire, then presented himself to the attention of the meeting. He | said the course pursued by their representa-) tive, the Hon. Mr. Coles, was a perfectly. constitutional one. He said the Land Ques- tion had long been held to be the al/-impor- tant one to the Island; but it sunk into in- significance when compared with that which was then before the people. That question was whether we should retain the free con- stitution guaranteed to us by Great Britain on the concession to us of Kesponsible Go- vernment ; or whether we should forego it, ‘and gree to live under another, framed so as to deprive us of the control of our own affairs and the use of our own revenue. He had

Mr. Coles’s notice convening meetings of his constituents for the purpose of open and = discussion of the question, he had sat

own and penned a series of Resolutio. 8 with the intention of submitting them to the con- sideration of the meeting which be was then addressing. Since he came to the Ten Mile House, he had shewn those Resolutions to Mr. Coles; and he (Mr. Haythorne) was happy to say, that aftera very slight alter- ation.in the wording of one of them they were fully approved of by that hon. gentleman. Those Kesolutions he would read to the meeting, and, perhaps, afterwards make a few remarks thereon. Mr. Haythorne then read his Resolutions as below given :—

Ist. We, the inhabitants of the Third Electo- rial District of Queen's County, being assembled for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the subject of the Confederation of the British North Awmerican-Colonies, and haying had ample oppor- tunity of consideging the Constitution promulga after the Conferences held at Quebec in the autumn of 1864, do hereby declare ovr firm and deliberate conviction:that the said Constitution is totally inapplicable to the case of Prince .Ed- ward Island, and, if adopted, would prove ruinous to our best interests. We fherefore enjoin our representatives to use every legimate effert in their power to prevent the said Constitution from becoming law.

2nd. We declare it as our opinion, that a scheme for uniting the British North American? Colonies under a common Government, is prac-: ticable; but such scheme tv meet our appreval must have due regard to the financial interests of this Colony, and must be based on priniples of equity and economy, of free trade and iow tariffs, aud wight then prove eminently useful to this, as well as to the other Colonies.

3rd. We desire to direect the attention of, those to whose guidance this important subject may be hereafter committed to the fact, that sufficient weight has not been given to the eir- cumstance that the peculiar position of this Island debars its inhabitants during four months from all commercial, and almost from any other inter- course with the mainand, except postal and tele- graphic, aud that, therefore, its interest in public works elsewhere, ia limited to the possible use of them during eight months only.
