Mr. Wiii:t.aN.—Were the question who discussed independently of party views nnd party feeling, nu impropriety whatever would appear. or could be made to appear in the course pursued by the Hon. the Colonial Secretary It nus well known that the sittin member had not been returned, as the Law irectcd, as having had a majority of votes. The Return was, therefore, irregular ;and, that being the case, it was the duty of the House. even in the absence of any Petition concerning the matter, to enter upon a due investigation of it, to thee that justice might be done to the electors, by allowing that candidate to sit, as their representative in the Assembly, who had polled a majority of their votes. Dacron Corutov.-—Tlie hon member who had spoken last knew very well that it was quite com- petent to him, or to any other hon. member, to move a Message to His Excellency for the lie- turn. But when the Crown came down to dic- ts~.to the House in the matter, it became their duty indignsntly to resist such assumption of authority as a direct and gross violation of their privileges. If n diseappointed candidate wished for a hearing, and redress,’ due; it was his place to enter at the door, and not to break in at the windows. If he approached with a petition he would get fair play. I-Ion. members would not. with respect to it, submit either to the h- hesta ofGovernment, or how to the dictation ofa party. They would cast their regards upon the copy of the Magna Charts which hung above the Speakers bend, and prove, by their indepen- dent and conscientious preservation and exercise of their privileges, as representatives of the people, how high and sacred was the estimation in which they held the rights conferred upon the people by that charter oftheir freedom. r. \‘i:o.— Let Mr. Coles petition the House, and he will be fully heard. and fairly dealt with. There would be no evidence of a disposition to favor unduly either the one or the uther—the sitting member, or the petitioning candidate. Mr. Dousc again stated how the House had proceeded in his case. He had had the question affecting his own election tried by the House, giving security, to the amount of .f.‘l00, or, more, for the ex pt-neee consequent upon the investigation. Let l\lr. Coles do the same, and justice would be done to him by the House.—'I‘hnt was the orilv course to be pursued ; it mattered not who the individual might l:e;whether a member of the Executive Council or not. Mr. FRA8l‘.lt.—'TIlG cases were not similar. The Slit-rifl was bound, by the Law, to return, that candidate who should have the greatest number of votes upon the poll-boolr;but, in the case under consideration, he had not done so. The question was truly a serious one; 1' ' affected not Mr. Coles alone, but all the represen- aiives of the people. Mr. I).ivtus.—Never was a Return before made in the some way as that under consideration. lu Queen Besa’a days, the Sberitfwas the creature of the Government, and, as such bound to obev it, But here, under Reuponsible Government, there was no such vassalsge on the part ofa Slieriffor of any other public officer: and the Government, with n liberally and fearless confidence, unprece- dented in the Colony, had appointed,as Sheriff, not an individual of the responsible. but one of an opposite party; and they had looked for, or ex- pected nothing from him but an impartial dis- charge of his duties, and strict observance of the Laws. As for the patriotism of the hon. and learned member for Charlottetown, and his boast- ed regnrd for the rights oftthe people, be (Mr. Davies) thought, with the hon. member, Mr. Mooney, that, when he laid claim to any, such merit, he was always meditating something to the contrary. DOCTOR CoNitov.—-Was it proposed to entrust the liberties and rights of the people to the pro- tection of Government? As well might they en- trust pigions to the guardianship ofa cat. Un- der such protection, the representatives of the people would have no reason to expect any greater regard for their priviligee. than was manifested by Charles the First, when he sought to control the Commons by afile of bayonete ; and any interference, in these days. with those pri- vileges, wheiher by message from, or dictation ofthe Crown or Government, would be scarcely less obnoxious, and differ but little in character from Charles the Fit-et’s remedy ofa file of bay- onets.—The attempt made, on the pertof the Government, by the Hon. Colonial Secretary, was undoubtedly a direct and gross breach of the privileges ofthe House. Mr. MnoNl:Y.—All that the learned Doctor had said about Msgna Charts, Charles the First, and in file of be onets, was nothing but a bushel of flummery. t requirsdno repl for it was not worthy of it. But. he would challenge the hon. and learned member for Charlottetown, who had been, tor so many years, a member of the Assem- bly, to shew that such a Return as that utider consideration, had ever before been made. Had he ever known a member to be returned with a minority ofvoteal He had not, that was certain. lfhe answered. he (Mr. M.) hoped he would give a direct answer for once. it Mr. Par.iii:u.-—IIe had never known a candidate to be returned a member without a ma- {ority of iotos—that was of good votes. But the on. member. Mr. Mooney, was departing from the question, and prematurely pronouncing his opinion. He (Hon .Mr. P.) would not follow his example; but, when, by virtue ofan oath, bound well and truly in try the case, and iodecide so. cording to what should appear to be the real merits and facts thereof, he would be prepared to give his opinion, as be trusted all others would also be. But they were not to sllow the Government to talte the lead about a contested election-—a matter which it belonged exclusively to the House t. 4.. cide. Tb!’ were ill! of what consumed themselves: and no other branch bad a right to interfere with them. With respect to the notion of the Hon. Colonial Secretary, they had a right tobs suspicion. It roceeded troin tbs '- usat: Ind. they u in rest assured, vttinvat an object. That object, if attained, would, be suspected, go far to serve I whose shit it was, and_ to deprive the representatives ofthe peo 3 00" tmnlesglg by suluecting them to the will at I-Ill Cl0WII- House, however. be was mtis- fifil. would apt with proper independence and due "tr-rd wlwir Prlvilesos. irrespective alike both of any motion afeeiing the case which migbtbe ma_d_e on b_ehslf_ of tile Gov.crI_Itueut, and nfa_u Whelan. Neither His Elselleucy nor the Govern- ment hsd"pionounoed any opinion on the ease.J Indeed. by then was the subject aopoiniedly adverted to in His E!.oeIlency’a .‘ eh! Mr. Fsassit.--When, in the tune of Sir John Hnryey, that Governor sent down to the House, a dictatorial inessa ' th politieal conduct of three of its members. his interference wps n_ot inen denounced as arbitary oi-uncon- ptitutiaual by the rty who now would have it to be believed .' at they saw nothing less than a bold and dangerous breech of the privi- leges of tbe_Houso in the simple motion of the Hon. Colonial Secretary respecting the Return of the Writ for the First District of Queen's on y. Mr. Mooazr denied that he prejudged the case or was dis sed to do so. His vote had always been. an would ever be, as inde ndent nnd conscientious as that of the hon. a learn- ed meinbor for Charlottetown. The learned member need not think to alarm him by allu- sions to the sancty of an oath:for whether under so solemn an obligation or not, he res- pected himself too much to do violence to his conscience by disre rding its dictates in his piuhlic capacity. e respected the gentleman, r. Beers, who was sitting near him ; but he also respected himself, and his self-respect would not allow him to act unjustly towards Mr. Beer, or any other individual, in the ques- tion likely to arise out of the Return under con- siderntiou. Hon. Mr. Loan maintained that there was no irnpropriet , much less any thing approaching to a breuc of the privileges of the House in the motion of the Hon. Colonial Secretary. He had merel asked the House to permit the Return to laid upon the Table, and to allow it to be read. The outcry about the rights of the poo Ic being endangered by it was a mere trick. ts only object ' e. ' pularity. Wh did not the hon. and learned member for harlottetown, or some of his friends, make a motion on t su jest, if .110, and they so much disliked that of the Hon. Co- lonial Secretary? As to the allusion mndo to the Return by His Excellency in his Speech, he had an unquestionable right to make it, and it would be found, not only that the Royal In- structions bore him out in it, but thct in any course which he might see lit to adopt to avert the subversion of the Responsible ‘ystein as lately established in the Colony, he would be sustained by the sanction and concurrence of the Home Government. Hon. members, be trusted, would understand that. Mr. H.ivtr.aNn.-—I-Ie could not allow the last observations of the hon. member who had 'ust sat down to pass without comment. He ad said that he would defend the rights of. the people, and avowed himself, at tho seine time, prepared to support. acts of the Government or Governor whio were, or would be, inimical to those rights. No doubt the Governor_wouId_bo well supported at home in any act of his tending to increase the intiuence of the Crown, and to diminish the power of the representatives of the ople; nnd, doubtless, also promotion would e the reward of such worthy service. With respect to what had fallen from another lion. member abouts message from Lieut. Governor Sir John Harvey, to the House, affecting of its members, be (Mr. II. would beg leave to remind that hon. member t at that message did not concern a controverted election or in any way militate against the privileges of the As- sembly, but he reference only to language and proceedings of those three members, amounting to treason, and directly electing the well-being of the state. In all mutton and qucationsaEect- in themselves internally, the were thempnle ‘u geunndnot even the Low out-ts dot .to routine a. word disnpprohator , of their deci- sions concerning them. The on. and learned member than concluded by rcadin the follow- ing extract from,Judge Storey on e Constitu- tion of the United States, setting forth the extreme jealousy with which the privileges of the Representatives of the people are guarded in the United States ofAinericn—n Iisy even greater than that with which e some rivileges are protected in Great Britain ;—pre- acing the same Extract with a high culogium upon the author. _ ‘ “ The first clause [of the Fifth Section of the Constitution of the Lnited States declares that ‘ each House shall be the judge o the elections, returns, and qualifications 0 its own members.’ ‘' ' ' ‘ tis obvious theta wer mustbe lodged somewhere to judge a elections, returns, and qualifications of the members of each House composing the Legi otherwise, there woul be no certninity as to who were legitimately chosen members, and any intruder or ueui-per mi ht clpiin a sent, and thus trample upon the ri%ltsitnd p 'viliges and liberties o the people. deed, e actions -would, become, under such circumstances, a more inockcr ;and le ifslntion, the exercise of sovereignty‘, y any sefi constituted body.
