Mr. Barcken —Mr, Chairman, the hon. member Will be surprised whea [ tell hun that [ agree with a good deal of what he bas said; and [ cannot, Sir, but regret, that after we have kad Reaponsible Government for six'een years, that it was found necessary to send for troops to com el a certain portion of the people to respect the laws, and I do say thata fearful respon-rbili- W hen a body of men arose in the community, combined toge- ther for the purpose o! resisting the payment of their rents, it showed that a dangerous element was at work; and that element has done its work, by bringing a last- That organization did ty rests somewhere, with respect to this matter. ting disgrace upon the country not merely proscribe the proprietors, but every man to the community who wou d not support them; and when their agents came to public officers in this building, and sought by means of intimidation, to extort subseriptions from them. [ say, Sir, ‘hat such acts showed a boldness that was unwarrantable, and a recklessness that was de- plorable. Mr. Dodd stated that such was the dread on the minds of the people in the country at that time, that bis deputy could not find a man outside of this city who would assist him in the execution of bis duty. Evenin this city their influence was felt to @ certain extent, when their organ, Ross's Weekly —that vile paper, which slandered so many of the public men of this coun. try—was looked up to as a guide to so many. Was not the hon. member for Cavendish a member of that as- sociation, which was so illegal in tts Incep!ion, and so unlawful in its The boo. mewber has deen reading the Journals. Will he go back a little farther and read the Bioody Despatch, 11 which the Liberals were tod, when they accepted office under Responsible Goverament, that the rights of the proprietors were to be respected? And mark you, Mr. Cuhsirman, that Despatch contained one of the conditions upon which Responsible Governmeot was accepted; and when, in the face of this declaration of Her Majesty, that hon. member went through the country, as an agent of the League. he is ten-fold more guity than Mr. Dodd is. If ex-Sheriff Dodd has been guilty of a libel upon the community, in all fairness he was entitled to an exami- nation, and should have been put upon his trial, before he was condemned so uncermoniously by the hon. mem- ber. Let him now demand such an examination, and he wil! find that Mr. Dodd has nothing to fear. If the Tenant Union was pursuing a right and proper course, why was it that it crumpled up so suddenly, when Her Majesty's troops came here? The men, Sir, whom I[ blame the most are not the body of the people who uni- ted themselves with that organization, but their leaders. Those men knew that Her Majesty's Despatch made it uulawful to resist the just ciuims of the proprietors. Toey knew that her troops did not come here to enforce obedience to unlawful demands; and no man, who duly respected the honor aod good nature of the cvuntry, would have justified the action of that organization at that time. | may be told that [am slandering the Tenant Union; but will the hon. member (Mr. Me- Neill) rise here, and propose a resolution that will justify the one adopted by that body, which said they would hold no communication, except in cases of necessity, with any person who would not support their organ za- tion? Let bim bring such @ resolution forward, aod [ will call him a patriot, though a misguided one. Let the hon. member give notice of this ou the Order Book, and then we will see wiere bis political manliness rests. I do not glory in the unfortunate state of affairs, which eailed fovth Mr. Dodd's letier ; onthe contrary, L regret it as much as any man in the country, for | know there is a good deal of truth in what the hon. member bas said, but at the same time, bad that hon. member and the League with whom he was associated, had their own Way ut that time, they would have done more to have forced us into Confederation than any Governmeat could. Before Responsible Government was granted to us, it was doubted whether we were able to work it out successfully, and to duly prize the privileges it would confer ; but the only time when any portion of the peo- pie showed that they did not appreciate it, was when a portion of them were led by that bon. member. Respon- sible Government was granted on conditiora which were binding upoo us and upon the Home Government ; and at that time the Home Government might jusily bave sad to us, you have not adhered tu those conditions ; you do not appevr to be a \aw abiding people, and we will wash our bands clear of you by handing you over to Canada! Let the bon. member read the Bloody Des- patch as carefully as be has Mr. Dodd's letter, and be will be covninced of the truth of what I say. I was not to support the Liberals that the hon. member was sent here by the League; for if that was their object, why did Mr. Ross oppose the Leader of the Government, after he had accepted cflice ? Hon. Mr. Howtan.—The Tories sent bim out. Mr. Brecken —No; the Tories have, perhaps, done some foolish acts, but they were never so foolish as that. I think, Sir, it would be very well for the hon. member to give notice on the Order Book, that he will ask this House to send for a Parliamentary return of the official procedures of the Tenant Union, with an account of their receipts and disbursements, Mr. MacNeitt —Tue hou. member has missed the golden opportunity for obtaining this information. At one time there were twenty or thirty of the members of that organization who used to assemble monthly in the North American Hotel, and if there was anything wrong gelng 02 amongst them, why, after His Excellency’s Proclamation was out, was it that they were not then arresied? That was the time when the hon. member eou'd bave bad their books and papers, aud easily bave discovered if there was anything treasonable going on among them. There would have been no difficulty in arresting any of them then, and securing their books vud papers too. The hon. member says that the peo- pie were deluded by d-magoyues, Will he yo among tae people and tell them this? Thanks to the Free Edu- eation Act, it is not in the power of the hon. mewber, or his superiors, to go and delude the people by any such assertions. 1 have met with a gentleman ata pub- lie meeting in the country, who belonged to one of the first families in this Colony, aod who could plead the cause of ‘he lare Government as ably as ever the hon. mewher could, but | teil you, Sir, tuat he made very little of it, and bad the bon. member for Charlottetown been there he would have made jess of itstill. The geutiewan to whom I refer wus well respected in the settlement, but L tell you that his arguments fell power- less. Public men who will justify the insertion upon our Journals of such a letter as ex-Sheriff Doda’s, are unworthy of the trust or confidence of the people. If the hon. member intends to pay a visit to the District which Lhave the honor to represent, he bad better say as little as possible about that letter. For the opinions contained in it, | hold the hon. member re-pousibie, and challenge him to come iato my District and jusufy theca No, Sir, the hon, mewber will hardly go there and tell the people that he is sorry that Mr. Dodd has nota seat in this House. For wy part, tle gn, L feel quite certain that “Mr, Dodd never wrote that jetter. Mr. Buecken.—He signed it, and if he put his name to that which was vot bis owu, be could uot bave been an honest man. Mr. MoNeitn.—The hon. member has, at different times, expressed great sympathy for therenantry ; but if ® poor tenant came to him for advice, he would bave to feel in his poesct betore the boo. mewber would feel much for bim. He has also referred to the despatch, uoder which they placed a justification for bringing the troops here ; bur if be goes to the country he will tind it hecessary to speak of oluer matters than those of whieh be bas spoken of to-day. Mr. beecgen —[ will, Mr. Chairman, ask the hon. Member for Cavendish one question. Cao he reconcile the cousti ution of the enant Union, with the prive ple set forth iu the Bioody Despatch, without incurring the displeasure of the Howe Government? [ am prepared to meet the hon. mewber io his District, provided i oun get a fair hearing. Mr. MacN etur. —Y ou shall have that. Mr. Baecksy —Did not the bon. member go against the principles of that despatch, wheo he united with an or- gwization, which had lor ove of its objects the resistance of the payment of renc? The hon. member has s:ood more (hae Ounce upou (ye bus ings, and is wel enough posted up ia these matters to kaow this; aud he knew, #80, (hat be Was incur: ing a feartal respousibility, whea he was pursuiug such @ course; but bis poliucal am- bitiou Was such that Le would pursue it, though aware of the oumsequences.

The Chief Justice stands bigh in this community, although in the estima- tion of the hon. member he may be all that is bad. Hon. Leaper oF THE GovernmMeNT.—lI think we have | had quite enough of this, and if we intend to do any business, we had better confine ourselves to the para- graph belore us Mr. McLennan.— Mr. Chairman, when you, Sir, read the first peragarph, L believe the hon. Leader of the Opposition said that there was nothing in the Address worth of being discussed; ani the hon Atiorney General observed that it was customary to putas littie as pos- sible into speeches from the Torone; but | can assure the Government that this was not what was expected from them by the country. Hopes were entertained that something would have been done for the reliet of the T: nantry last year, but now in the second Session of this House, we are told, as we were lust year, to wait The objection to the speech 1s not so / much for what is in it, as for what is left out that ought ' to have been in it; and [ find that wherever tt has goue, the same objection is taken | have just pat my band upon a paper from the District which L represent (the Summerside Progress) whch views the speech pre- cisely in the same way the Opposition do. l think, though, you will agree with me, Mr, Chairman, in say- log thatif there is nothing in the speech, that it bas created a good deal! of discussion. 1 would bave ad- dressed this hon.

It is admitted by all parties that the affair bas quieted down, and when such is the cuse,—when the thing is dead and gone, what is the use of spending 0 much time in discussing it. IL was sorry to hear the hon. member for Cavendish expressing himself so strongly when referring to Mr. Dodd's Letter. [ have been ac- queinted with that geatieman since 1841, and [ do not believe that be would write any docuwent be did uot be- lieve was true. It bas been said that Mr. Dodd did not write that letter, but L do not thiok that any Government could make him put bis hand to a document which he kuew was incorrect. You will excuse me Sir if IL do not adhere very closely to the paragraph before us, as others bave wandered to subjects which have no con- nection with that uader consideration. | hope 1 may be allowed to reply to some of the matters to which they have referred. rhe hon. member tor Tignish ex- pressed wu hope that the hou. Leader ot the Opposition would bring ia # Bill tor the assimilation of the currency. Hoo. Mr. Howtan.—We discussed this in the last paragraph. Mr. McLennan.—I am aware of that; but when the hon. member was permitted to make so many speeches, L think be should exieud the same courtesy to others. Hon. Leaper oF THE GoveRNMENT.— We shall never get througo with this debate if paragrapis which have 1 bave no wish to prevent the hou. member trom speaking, but certainly the course he Is pursuing is contrary to the priuciples upon which debates are conducted. been discussed are to be considered over again. Mr. McLennan.— | believe that so far as this dis- cussion bas proceeded the Opposition bas bad the best of it, aud their arguments on the Loan bave beev the most correct. lo reference to the the claims of what bas been overpaid by the setilers on the remission of Selkirk Estate, 1 may say that 1 will not object to give | them abything the Government can, but there is an Estate 1n Prince County, and uot very far from where | reside, which it has beeu said, has been more than self- | sustaining, and if so, g there Is just as much reason that tuose peOvle should have their mouey refunded to thew, as those on the Selkirk Kstae. The estaie to which | refer is Lot 11, which it bas been said paid more thau it cost, Hon. Leaper or Tur Govennment.—The reverse was also suid by tue hou. Leader of the Uppusition The Paragraph was then agreed to. The sixth paragraph being read, Hon. LeEapeR oF THE OUOpposiilon said: I do not know, Mr. Chairman, whether we can raise a discussion on thts paragraph equal to that ou the one which reter- red to the Selkirk K-tace or not, but L think it would be as well if the bon, Attorney General wouid inform this hon. Commitiee whetber the Bill which the Government propose itroducing 1s for the purpuse of lowering the price of the Government jand, or is it the intention to | give the privilege of buying larger blocks of lead thau ibe Law vow allows ¢ Hon. Leaver oF THe GovernMent.—Of course, Mr. Chairman, itis right for the boa, Leader of the Oppo- sition to endeavuor to ubtain all the information he can on this subject. We know Sir, there are large tracts of land which have been bought up by the Government that are uot being settled as fast as we could wish. We kvow too,that many of our youug people are leaving the country. They have seeu the difficulties their fathers bad to contend with, and to avoid the same themselves, they are seeking their fortuoesabroud. Ln purchasing Gov- ernment Land as the Law uow is, parties bave to pay 2U per cent. of the purchase money down, and it has been thought that it would be an encouragemnt to settlers, if the law aliowed easier terms, and to effect this object | and if possible induce more of the young men of our Own coun ry to settle down upon our public Lands, a ill will be submitied by the Government baving that object ip view, and to which [| dare say, the learned Leader of the Upposiuon will have no objection. If they were sold, even at a nominal price, it would save the Quit Rent, or if they were sold at a price that would even cover the working expeuses of the Lund Office it would be better than having them lying idle. Parties settling upoo them would be consumers of dutiable articles aud producers of articles ot export and home consumption ; and if we evea lost upon the land, tt woula be more than wade up in the luprovement of the country. On motion, the sixth paragraph was then agreed to, and also the seventh. The eighth paragraph being read, Hon. Leaper oF THe Opposirrton, rose and said: Mr. Chairmau, baving no official kuowledge of the exact naiure of these expenditures, we must take the facts to be as bere expressed but I am very glad that the Bridges which were brokea down by the storms last fall, bave b eu paid tor, L congratulate tbe late Government Ou the very satisfactory Mavober in which they bave per- formed taut service.

His Mxcelleucy bus nut said that these de- mands bave beeu met by the Government, iu the way relerred to by the Committee. ‘There was a very great gale last fall, and ali the lawyers wiio bad to travel to toe Court at that we feit it, aud perbaps sume ot the cowmittee whO prepared this address were out ander it tuo; some of the Bridges were dowo and it was quite L do not think that this matter | difficult 1c get along. should bave been tutroduced into the address, aith ugh it way be an inieresting report ot the siate of ine Roads at that time, aud be recorded as ao account of | tue great yale of 1807.

I bope Sir, that next time the lawyers go up to the West, that they may have better roads. Mr. Bett —Mr. Chairman, as a member of the com- mittee who prepared the address in answer to His i xcellency’s Speech, I may say that i understood there was a good deal of money paid in wy own district for this object, and I, of course, cousidered it a5 expendi- ture extraordinary. Hon. Leaper or THe GovennMent,—It is not usual to introduce matrers inio the Reply wich had no: been alluded to in the Speeca, and L thiuk therefore, that as His Excellency, in his speech at the opeving of the Legislature, bas not referred to this matter, 1t would be as Well to let it be struck out of the paragraph — | there- fore move, that all after the word *alluied” in the paragraph before us, be struck out. Tbe motion was seconded by boo. Mr. Howlan, and agreed to. On motion, the paragraph as amended was agreed to by the Committee, aud after a few further remarks Mr. Speaker took the Chair, progress was reported and the House adjourned uatil to-morrow. kk, Gorvon, Reporter, Tuonspay, March 12th. Afternoon Session. The piragraph relating to Kducation was read, and a motion made for its adoption. Mr. Brecken.—As this is a most important subject, Mr. Chairman, | think it would not be advisable to let it pass without some expression of opinion. Very wide and divergent opinions are eoteriained on this subject, and | think it would be well to bear the views of bon members on both sides of the House respecting it; but as it does not lie with the Oppositiou to make any move in the matter, [ trust the Government are vot waiting to ascertain their sentiments. The fact that such pro- miveoce was given to this question in His [xcelleacy’s Speech would seem to indicate that some inaterial altera- tion Was contemplated to be made in the whole system ; and | do not think it would be taking too much liberty io ask the Government if such is the case. aud if so, to yive us some idea of the nature of the changes they in- teud to make. There is ove boo. member who is not ia his seat at present (I refer to the Queen's Printer) whose views on this subject, lL shouid very much like to hear. Hon. Atrorney Gennrat.—Mr. Chairman, the hon. and learned member (Mr. Brecken) is following the course which has been pursued by the Opposition in re- ference to every paragraph of the Address which has been yet discussed—asking tor the detats of a Bill on the subject mentioned in the paragraph. If we took up the details of every subject durmg the debate on tie Dratt Address, we might as weil spend two or three weeks in their discussion, and afterwards, when the mea- sure come belore the House in regular ordor, pass them through without further debate. [It has been said that members ot made promises to their constituents on the subject of KEducativn; buat in reply to this, | can stare that the only promises | made were that | would advocate the payment in full of the teachers salaries out of the Treasury, and do away with the contusion which vow surrounds the Kducation Act. The first has been done, and all that is vow required is to simplify the Act so as to make it inielligiole, and L hope that in our endeavours to do this, we shall have the assistance of my hon. and learned friend, the member for Charlottetowa. The Couservative Party mangled the Education Act by curting off a part of the teachers salaries. a grievance which was loudly complained of by the people, but which has been rem ved by the present Government. The question of Education is oue of vast IMportabce, for In it are involved the interests of the Goveroment yreat the rising generation, and it should never be made to sub- serve political purposes. We have seen some very un- seeuly discussions oo this question in the Legisiature, we have seen a sacred and oly book used in a very in- proper and unbecoming manner ; but L hope we shall never see the like again. Hducatiou seems, at the pre- sent time, to be the ail-absorbing topic—all the leading statesmen of Knyland are engaged Iu discussing it calily and earnestly, aud when we see men of great ability thus bend their minds to the discussion of this matter, it shows that it is a question of vital importance. The Address merely states that the Government will give the saljcct their calm and careful consideration, aud they will do so. Mr. Brecken.—There is no doubt, Mr. Chairman, but that this is a subject of paramount importance, and one Which should uot be approached in a party spirit. Tne hou. Attorsey General has referred to unseemly discussions which formerly occurred on this subject, aud L may Say that it is not wy ltenvon (oO revive sectarian strife, tbe couutry bave had enough of that. But does the hon. Attoruey General mean to say that making some slight alterations iu unimportant particulars means altering the system of education? Lf the Goverumeut intend altering the system of education why do they not say so? Was the hon. member trom Tiguish (Mr. How- lan) right when he said that the speech was a foreshadow- ing of the policy of the Goverument. Hon. Mr. Howran.—lIf you could see it. Mr. Breken.—ls ita liberal policy to couch their in- tentions im such awbiguous terms that they cannot be uvderstood 2? Last year the Government had some ex- cuse for not taking up this question as they bad been but a very short time in oflice, but nowa whole year has elapsed since they assumed the reins of power, yet all we can fiud out couceruing taeir policy on this sub- ject is, that the Crown Law Officers are scribbling away as fast as they cau to puttwo Actsintoone.§ It appears that the Government bave this subject under their con- sideration, but, true to their composite character, they cannot agree upon it—some of them wish to have it changed 1a one particular, aud some in another, Any amendinents which may be introduced, which will be beneficial in their Operation, shall have the concurrence ot the Opposition, bere was an amendment introduced a few years ago to compel the people to pay a part of the teachers salary, Out { do vot think this was wutilat- ing the Act: 1t is a souad principal to tax parents for part of the cost of educating their chiidren. In po country eXcept this is the whoie cost of education detray- ed out of the geuerai revenue. In Canada where there is a good system of education, the people last year con- tributed wearily a milion dollars to Supplemeut the amouut paid out of the public funds. The prime con- sideration with & man Wao ly blessed with a family should be to see bis chiidren qualified to take their proper posi- tion in society, aud Lb do not think it is a hard-hip to compel hiw io pay sowething for tueir educauon, As the couutry progressed you will have to pay teachers higher salaries, lor sixty or seveaty pounds a year will not be sufficieut to induce a man to make a business ot teaching, and if the whole amount be paid from the Treasury, it will absorb ail the revenue. ‘The Couserva- tives lutroduced the true sysiem, aud it will bave to be adopted souuer or later, lor the priuciple is a correct vue. Hoo. Leaver or tak Government.—Does the hon. mew ber for Chariottetowo so tar forget constitutional principles, that he thinks the Government 1s golng to lay down the details of any Bilj during this debate ? Such a course would be aliogether unpreced- ented, The mato principle cf the Free Kducatioa Act Was, that every Wau might bave all bis children educat- ed without payiog anytuing directly tor it. The first Free Eduvation Act, though defivient in a few details, Was a simpie ove; but woen the Conservatives came into power, they introduced a great many amendments which make the Act so wysterious that it would almost puzzie a juwyer. Tbe watu object of the Free Kducation Act was to bave every child ou the Lsiaud educated, Mr. Busckun—What was the practical working of it? (To be Continued.)

RACINE, Esq., of La Minerve, Montreal. “ Having experienced the most gratifying results from the use of Dr. Wistar's Balsam ef Wild Cher: y, | am induced to express the great confidence which I have in itseficacy. For nine months I was most cruelly afflicted with a severe and ebvstinate cough, aceompanied with acute pain in the side, which did not leave me, summer or winter. The symptoms increased alarmingly, and so reduced was I that I could walk but a few steps without resting to recever from the pain and fatigue which so slight an exertion eccasioned. At this juncture I commenced taking the Balsam, trom which | found mmmediate relief, | and after having used four bottles | was completely | restored to health. I have used the Balsam in my fam- | ily, and administered it to my children, with the happiest results. Jam sure thatsuch Canadians as use the Bal- sam can but speak in its favor. It is a preparation which has only to be tried to be acknowledged as remedy par excelience.” | A CURE FOR WHOOPING COUGRH. Str. Hyraecintue, C.E., Aug. 21, 1836. essrs. SetTun W.

In three hours after she had commenced using it, she was greatly relieved, and in less than three days was entirely cured, and is now well. 1 have since recommended the Balsam to many of my neighbors, who have used it, and in no case have known it fail of effecting a speedy cure.
