Turspay, Sth May, 1866. CONFEDERATION QUESTION,

House in Committee of the whole on Despatches, Le. Mr. John Yeo in the Chair.

Hon. T. H. HAVILAND (Solicitor General) thought the hon. member from Kest Point (Hon. KE, MeKechen) in his attempt to draw an arzguavent against the proposed or contemplated, Confederation of the Brirish American Provinces, from the history and results of the Union be- tween Enyland and Seotland, had been peculiarly unfortu- nate. that hon. gentleman seemed to have inherited all the ancient animo-ity of his b!oood and race to the power and domination of the Saxon; and, slrogether ignoring the happy change for his country, which, in the course of time, bad been broaght about by that Union—a change from discord to friendship, from war te peace, and from poverty and distress to national pro<perity,—in attempting Jo strength- en bis anti-coufederate position by reference to tt, be seemed to be animated solely by the recollection of what, in trath, was considered by the great majority of the people of Scotland, at that eri-is of ber fate, to be an aanihilation of her independence, a loss and a disyrace, an] a surren-

dering of ter rank among vations, for vo advantages which |

could be anticipa'ed, exeept such as might be obtained by private individuals, whese

pecuniary gains completely consideration of matioual bh oor. reference to the con‘emplated Confederation un Jer consiler- ation, appeared to be entertained, net only by the hon. member from East Print ({lon KE. McKschen) but, indeed, by almost every ether anti-confederate in the Island. To ery raised by our anti-con{cderates in general was, that, by

stifled in

Vonlederation, we would Jose our provineial independence. | we would be deprived at once of all the consideration and |

advantages of a resident and independent government; and for the prospect and benefits of free trade and ex ended commerce, which were bel! out to lure us into the connee- tion, all we would realize would be increase of taxation burdens, and duties, wholly ru‘nous to our prosperity, and that altogetber for the relicf and benefit of Canada. The only advantages, it was, most unjustly avd urgenercusly, said by anti-confederates, which woald result to Prince Elward Island, from her being inelu Jed in the contemp!ated Confede- ration, would be experienced by a few of her politicians who, for the rewards of venality, had agreed to barie:

away their own honor and the rights and liberties of thei: |

country. By those whe thas, perversely, and he might say dishonestly, argued, it was mos! care'ully kept out of sight

that, according io the proposed scheme of Con‘ederatin, | there would be no degrada: on of any of the Provincial Le-|

gisiatures and Governments, These. on the '

would be preserved intact; and each Province would re- tain the entire control and wanagement of i's own loca! and interna! affairs. It was true, indeed. that the general Go- vernment would, undoubtedly, and of necessity, exereise su- pervision over the individes! States; but the power of the Federal Government to interfere with the exclusively in-

ternal affairs of any of the Confederated Provinces, would |

be of the most limited and inconsiderable character. Ln al! the arguments brought to bear against Confederation, i: was ulso very carefully kept out of view that its accomplish ment, upon terms fair and just to every section of it—and upon no other terms did he wish, or had he ever desired, to see it established—would not only be the means of happily extinguishing those little wuspish political feuds and jealousies which bad so long acted as a drag upon our progress, and been a disgrace to us as a people; but would al-o, by pu't- ing the impost duties and other sources of public revenue, upon a uniform basis, unler the control of the Federal Go- vernment, put an end to the anomaly of separate customs es- tablishments, and the conflicting and perplexing commereia! regulations which existed, and which had almost of necessity arisen out of the disunited state of these Provinces. Again the recognition of another benefit which would result trom a Univ of these Provinces. had been carefully eschewed by our Island anti-confederates : he meant identity of Jaws and uniformity in the moves of their administration. Thy existence within territories of the same nation—territorie> lying near to one another, alike in climate, natural produe- tions, and the social condi ivn of their mbabitants—the ex- istenee, he said, within such territories of a multiplicity o! Jaws, each having a distinct, local application upon almos every question of humen rizhts ; and of a plurality of courts —each peculiarly constituted, and having its peculiar rale- of practice—administering those laws; hampered the ordi- nary administration of justice, tended to the promotion of crime, and seriously inconvemtenced esommereial intercourss between the various parts of these territories; and the de- sirability of the contemplated Coufederation was, in his opinion, greatly heightened by the certain pro-peet wh cb it afforded of the removal of these grievous anomalies by means of judicious ani remedial action on that score by the Federal Legislature. Independent local legislation in eaci of a group of Provinces or Territories so circumstanced was, in some, and those too very important, respects, a posi- tive evil; for it could not but result in differences of laws productive of such evil results as those to which he bad jus: adverted ; and such legisla'ion had the additional evil ettec: of cherishing those local pr<judices aud feelings of separate interests, which tend so decidedly to the estrangement o! each member of a Confederation from its fellows. The [s- land anti-confederates had —most unjustly and ungenerou, ly, he was again cons‘rained to say—declared, again and again, that such of our public men as advocated Vonfede. ration had been won over 'o that advocacy by the corrupt- ing influence of Canadian gold, and had busely, with a view to their own individual aggrandizement and enrichment, to barter away our priceless Constitution. The charge of bribery, which hud thus beew boldly preferred against such of the [sisand Deputies to Canada as had open- ly avowed and advocated their convictions in favor of Con federation, were ben ath contempt or notice, although i would be easy to reply that perhaps American silver or greenhacks, hed not been without their corrupting and de. nationalizing effect among-t the anti-confederates, And hy might ask these most un-crupulous calumniators, if thes would dare to say that the veweratle Arebbishop Connolis and Bishop McKinvon. the giilant General Williams, the veteran Genera! Doyle, or Sir James Hope, who perille: his life at the storming of the Petho Forts.in China, ha been bribed into an advocacy of the projected Confederation of these Provinces ?—for one und ali of those eminently good and great men were, he was proud and happy to say numbered amongst the most strenuous advocates of tha great project. He thongit not. But as to the ridieulow assertion that the advocates of Confederation were prepares to sacrifice our priceless ( onstitution for the establishmen of a Federal Union, it was sufficient to refer to the terms o the Quebee Scheme of thar Union, which showed ms clearly that nothing was farther from the minds of the D

pes of se f-aggrandizement and | their breasts every | Sach views as these, with |

a similar gubernatorial proceeding here, some years ago,

bad, by some o! those anti-Con!ederates, been lauded and ex- tolled as an act of most diguitied, patrivtic, and constitu: |tional independence. He alluded to the time whev Gover- ‘vor Bannerman, in opposition to, and in contempt of, the ‘advice of his Counci!—althoagh that Council was sustained by a large and respectable majority of the parliamentary representatives of the people—dissolved the Assembly, and ‘called a new election.

He would like some of those exact financiers. to whose calculations be had just referred, to shew how mach per head of our popala- tion, in the event of our annexation to the United States, the burthen of our proportionate share of that debt would amount. The prospect of its insignificance, as compared with that to"which they would bave to submit under Confe- deration, would surely be very inviting!—The Hon Colonel Gray, in bis eloquent and argumentative speech upon the question, which had, mostdeservediy been listened to with every evidence of respectiul attention by both sides of the Llouse, had, in one of bis sentences, spoken as if he thought that the question of Coufederaticn should have been made a Government question ; and the Hon. ihe Leader ot the Opposition (Mr. Cole.) bad eagerly seized upon and echoed it.1 the hope he (Hon. Mr. Haviland) imagined that it might prove an apple of discord,

Hon. Colonel GRAY expliined that his owa acts, with reference to the question, at the time when he had the the Leader of the Government, were suffi vient to prove that such could not be h’s opinion From the first, he had lLoked upon the question as one.

Hon. Mr. HAVILAND, resuming his speech, said, he was glad to find the opinion of the Lion. aod gallant Colo- av’, on that point, exactly coincided with his own: and «uch, indeed, he said, it was evident it must have been from the very inception of measures by the Government of the

A reference to the Union of Seo'land with England, as made by the hon. member from Kast Point, so far trom yielding arguments agiinst the U.n!ederation of the British American Provinces, afforded the strongest in favor of it. ‘he great benefits of that national treaty haa been generally felt and acknowledged forthe last huedred years. from the pertod ot its accomplishment, there was awakened, iu Scot.and, a spiri of industry and enterprise (0 merly unknown ta bateouniry ; and,ever since, the two kinyd ans of Kogland and Scotland, un ealculably to their mutual beactir, have b-en gradually for- getting their former sutjects of discord, and uniting cordiaily, as one people, ia the ioprovement and deience of their common country —the island which they inhatit Scotland's greatest yrievsuce, arising out of the Union, was that which she felt ia the deprivation of her nitive and | independent legislature, cud her metropo is’ ceasiug to be | the abode of royalty; ond, indeed, the restoration of their national parliaments was yet eagerly desired by lorge sve- tions of the populations of both Seotiond aut Lreland | Under Con‘ederation, however, exch of the Provinees would retain its owu Legisiature aod Government, fur the monege

Executive Council, the Hon W. tl. Po,e, Colonial Seere- tary, aud the Hon. KE. Palmer, Attorney General, as re- presentatives of the Government or Conservative party ; and of the Hon, G. Coles, Leader of the Opposition, the Hon, EK. Whelan, who was not suspected of eniertaining

any great love for the Government, the Hon. Andrew Mc- |

Dowald, who had never been a conservative, aud himself, (tion. Mr. Haviland) who, at that time, was not a sup- porter of the Government, having, some time before, (for reasvos Lo which it was not then necessary to refer) seceded trom it. ‘The Government, by thus taking eare that the parliamentary Opposition or minority should be fairly re- presented atthe Conference, shewed that they had no inten- ton of making the Contederation question a party one

The question of Countederation. ‘on which they differed, being altogether an open one — a Question which, although it mvolved the interests of every class in the Colony. yet, most assuredly,jas parties now stand. could not be made a party one—every member of the Cabinet, as well as every member of the House, was, he said, perfzetly free, without any regard to political position ‘or party ties, to argue and vote for or against it, according to his own conscientious views of the question. In dwell ing upon the fact of this Cabinét disagreement, the hon ind learned gentioman adveried to stmilar divisions which, at different times, had arisen in the Cabine: of Great Britain; instancing ,amongst others, that which took place in the reign of George the Third, when the great Pitt was Premier ; and also the misunderstanding between | King Wiliiam the Fourth and bis prime minister, Lord Mel- bourne, in consequence of which His Majesty intimated to tis Lorship, although sustained by a parliamentary majority, that he had no turther need of his services, and was yet | obliged afterwards to recall him.
