Io the course of his speech on the ad dreas, Senator Farquson ssid : With regard to the war and the causes which |-dup to the contlc , it is not necee- eary that we should discuss them very much on the present occasion. Ik is enough, as has been stated by -ome lead ing public men of Canada,to kaow that the British Empire is engaged in a very Severe strugge ia which its prestige is at peril, and that being so, it is our duty to hasten to the defence of the ewpire ; but as intelligent ci:izeaos, it is importact toat weshould not ailow our people for a mo mgnt,to loze s ghs of the great and impor- tant fact thatthis war has nctin any re- spect whatever heen forced on the repub- jics of South Africa by the Br.tish Gov- eromen!t. A careful perusal of the docu~ men's that have been i-sued on this ques- tion will convince every person that tue is not a war that Greet Britain has sought, that, on the contrary, every possible care was taken by the governmeat of Grea: Britain to preveat any legitimate or reasonable cause for war. io my mind, this great etruggie—all this ex- penditure and this loss of blood and what- ever humiliation is involved in the receat British disastere, and whatever ri-k or danger there may be at this moment to the British prestige -I bave no hesitation in taying thatall tnis is dueto the eur- render in 1851 by GLADSTONE’S GIVERNMENT, when they withdrew from their eccups- tion of the Transvaal. They created a deplorable impression in the minds of the Boers that they were able to defent the British, to such au exteot that from that day forward there haa idea in the minds of the Dutch popula- lon of South Africa in the directicn of overthrowing British power in _ that part ef the world. I bave uot the slightest doubt that that is the case, and although it may be enough for us to know that our cause is right in this matter aod that our couniry is in peril, and without inquiring too much into the cause we know very well the truth that lies in the words of cur greatest poet, that he is‘ thrice armed who bath his quarrel just.” We know that our quarrel with the South strength-ngs the arms of our soldiers and the couacils ef our country, aod will ultimately bring victory to the British arms. In 1877, the british gov~ ernment, I think I am right in saying, on the invitation of the people of tne Transvaal, sent Sir Theopholua Shep- stone into that country. At all events, it was no invasion of that country. He bad leas than a score of a staff with him on that occasion, and the people generally re- ceived him with acclaim and without any expression ot disceant. They allowed British arms to be used to protect them against the natives, with whom they were waging an ineffective war. They accepted salaries from the British government, among the salaried officers being Kruger himself, and after all this, when the natives bad been subjugated, acd when the country was recovering from the condition ia which it was feund, when Sir Theophilus Shepstone entered it, the Boers treacherously, and with the greatest ingratitude, shot down the British soldiers without warning and when they could not be prepared to defend them- selves. The act was one of the BASEST INGRATITUDE, and there should have been no retrocession until victory was achieved ; and had the protests of Sir Evelyn Weod been listened to at that time no eonvention would bave been signed until some distinct advantage had been gained by the British arme. I have no hesitation in saying, from Queen St., Ch’town Jan 18, 1900—daw — ee gy ILE LAURIZR AND TARTE ARE DENOUNCED Pe ee ne eee Lee res Bone een ; wn . ° D. FERGUSON, SENATOR. been a growing | an examination of the public documents l bearing on this question, that during the whole period from that time down to the breakiog out of hostilities, there has heeo no act ef wroog or harshness on the part of the British government. I will even go so far—althongh my views may vot be ertirely concurred in—ast) say that the Jameson raid itself, uaautborized ae it was by the Britith government, clumsily exeented as it wa-, was nt wi‘hout justification ; for at that time the goverao- ment of the Transvas! bad entered into contract«,and were making arrangements for placiog guna on the toris looxingdown On the town of Jonaunerburg, whicp was an act of hostility, and was, Mh a great meseure, the cause which led to the contpiracy, or whatever you may call it, of the Uitlanders, and of the Organ'zatiou of tbe Jameson raid. The very fact that the British goveroment found itself, in the month of September last, when (hat: udacious ultimatum was presented to them, in a atae of utter un~ preparedness for war, wi!l be the answer which history will mske to the charge tbat the British provoked a war in Sou bh Africa, All through the correspondence it will be tousdthat Sir Alfred Milner aniall others.cengaged on the British side were iutent upon @ peacetul solution fthedifficul:v. They appreciated the —_——— f fact that che British government could not; — possibly turn adeaf ear to the petition ot | 21,000 British iwbabitants of the Trana- Vaal, who cOmplaiued that boih ia their persons and ic their property they had beeo injured and were teiog wronged. It wae imposible that the British govern- ment could turn a deaf ear to such come plaintefrom their citizens ; and they prese- ed, as the correspondence will ehow, ia a reazovable aud amicabie way througn al the days that were occupied in Bloemfon- teu conference, and also in all the correspondence between the two govern- ments, for a peaceful solution of the diffi- culty between the Britiso goverament an d the South African republic. It isa mat- ter of PLEASURE AND PRIDE toevery British subject tokaow that, tOtwithstanding that the Britieh arme { bave suffered some deplorable reverses in the field, yet the military traditions of the couutry, coming dowu threugh genera- tioor, the reputation that history has given the British soldier for bravery aud endur- a ce in the field, hes been well maintains ed. Nothing bas oceurred to tarnish that glorious reputation ofthe British soldier in the battes which have already taken place, end notwithstanding errors, as we think, on the part or those who are leading them, and on which we have no right jast now (oO eXpres# an opin- ion ot condemnation—nothing has traus- pired to taroish tbe glorious reputation that British soldiers and generals enjoy, and we have ne doubt that these noble qualities sre maintained by them at this time, and will triumph over their @ppon- entsinthe end.
