THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL S CLOSING ADDRESS y"O THE CANADIAN PEOPLE, DELIVERED AT THE OPENING OF THE TORONTO EX- WIBITION—HIS ADVISE TO THE CANA- DIANS. ToroNnro, Sept. 24. At the opening of the Toronto Exhibi- tion on Tuesday, His Excellency delivered the following cloqnent address, which, we suppose, may be taken as his last great aa” dress in Canada : Mr. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN, —in en- deavoring to return you my best thanks tor the noble reception you are giving me for tie series of Arabian Nights Hatertainments through which, from hour to hour and day to day, | have been hurried by your hospitable citizens, | can truly say have never felt less equal to such a task. During the past six years and a half, indeed, 1 have been often required at various times and places to say what are called A FEW WORDS to different classes of my fellow-countrymen in the Dominion. Bat on these occasions there was always some current topic to en- gage our attention, and to which it was de sirable 1 should address myself. Now, how- ever, the case is very different. It is true we have a special business before us. 1 am nominally here to open this Exhibition, and perhaps, under ordinary circumstances, it would be sufficient for me to dilate upon the splendor of this building, the variety, and the sichness of its tontents. The proofs it dis- plays not merely of the national wealth of Canada, but of the energy, ingenuity and in- dustry of our mechanics, artizans and agricul. turists, but my imagination refuses to be con- fined within even these spacious halls. (Ap- plause.) The contributions they enclose only serve to conjure up before me, in all their beauty, the radiant expanses of these seven fair Provinees I have travelled from end to end hear, hear), and it is not the departments of a mere Provincial show which lie mapped out beneath my feet by the territories of our great Dominion, whose wealth and capabilities these Courts exhibit (cheers), nor 1s 1tin the pres ence of a detached crowd of casual sight seers that I seem to stand, but face to tace with that entire population, with whose des-| tines I have been so !ong associated, to whom I owe so much, and who are building a British policy upon this side of the Atlantic which is destined, | trust, to exemplify more suecess- fully than any other what happiness, what freedom, what strength, what peace can be secured to man by patiently, wisely, soberly, expanding and developing those great princt- ples of Constitutional and Parliamentary Gov- ernment which centures ago were born in Eng- land (applause), which our ancestors shed their blood to defend, which our forefathers transplanted to this country, and which our fathers have left us the MOST PRECLOUS INHERITANCE they could bestow, (Tremendous applause.) Impressed, then, by such a_ consciousness. knowing that to-day, for the last time, I am speaking to the people of Canada, what am I to say? There are many aoe 1 would de- sire to say at such a moment, but I dread to tread on forbidden ground—(laughter.) As you are well aware in all those matters which are of real and vital moment to you, I am only entitled to repeat in public such words, words of wisdom as my Ottawa egeria may put into my mouth. (Great laughter.) In my own behalf it is only competent for me to expiate these vaporous fields of extra political disquisition which may happen to lie floating around the solid political life of the people. Yet, perhaps, a viceroy—in extremis—might claim some exceptional indulgence. (Laugh- ter.) To all moribund personage as to Jacob when he gathered the fathers ot Isaac around his beside the privilege of monition and of ‘‘Montreal is all alive; and such is the , laughter. ) benediction has been granted. (Applause and = = energies it embodies, is an ancient story which I need not insist upon ; but as there are always external forces which disturb the working of the most perfect mechanisms, so in an ofd country like England many inilaences exist to trouble the harmonious operations of the polit- ical machine; but here our constitution has been set going almost in vacuo, entirely disin- cumberea of those entanglements which tradi- tional prejudices and social couplications have tyviven birth to at home. My next alvice to ‘you, then, would be to GUARD AND CHERISH tthe characteristics of your Constitution with a slecpless vigilance, and do not consider that this isa superfluous warning. I do not, of COUPES, refer to any of those principles which either regulate the relation of the mother country to the colony, or of the Crown to the Parliainent. All questions which were a long time in controversy, in either of these respects, have been long since happily settled to the sa- tisfaction of everybody couceruved. (Applause) During the whole time that 1 have been Gov- ernor-General of Canaa, not a single difficulty hasever arisen between the Colonial Office and this Government. (Hear, hear.) Indeed, it would be impossible to overstate the EXTRAORDINARY SMOOTHNESS AND HARMONY with which this portion of the machinery has worked, so far as my experience has gone. (Applause.) ‘the independence of the Cana- dian Parliament and the independence of the Canadian administration in all matters affect- ing their domestic jurisdiction have not only received a generous recognition, but have been stimulated and expanded to the fullest pos- sible extent by the authorities at home, as the recent establishment of a Supreme Court of Justice in Canadian soil impressively testiiles, (Applause.) Nor has anything occurred to trouble the relations of the Viceroy in repre- senting the regal power and his parliament. ‘The respective limits of privilege and of pre- rogative have been finally determined, and theré is no temptation either upon the one side or the other to overstep them. (Cheers.) Bat there are two other principles, incidental tothe British Constitution, which, though fully recognized and established, might, per- haps, be over-ridden in times 2%f political ex- citement, unless public opinion exerted itseif to maintain them absolutely intact. I allude 41 to Lilie INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDGES, and the non-political and permanent character of the Civil Service. With regard to the inde- pendence of the Judges I will say nothing, notwithstanding what has been done else- where, I do not think that the Canadian peo- ple will ever be tempted to allow the Judges of the land to be constituted by popular elec- tion (hear, and applause); still on this conti- nent there will always be present in the air, as it were, a certain tendency in that direction, and it is against this 1 would warn you. And now that 1 am upon this topic, there is one further observation I am tempted to make in regard to the position of the Judges. 1 should nope that as time goes on, as the importance and extent of their work increases, and as the wealth of the country expands, it may be found expedient to attach somewhat higher sal- aries to those who administer the laws. PURE AND RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE is the very foundation of human _ happiness, but remember it is as true of justice as of any- thing else, you cannot have a first-rate article without paying for it. In order to secure an able bar yeu must provide adequate prices for those who are called to it. If this is done the intellectual energy of the country will be at- tracted to the legal profession, and you will have what is the greatest ornament any coun- try can possess—an efficient and learned ju- diciary. (Cheers.) But, after all, the chief danger against which you will have to guard is that which concerns the Civil Service of the country. Now, THE CIVIL SERVICE of the country, though not the animating spirit, is the living mechanism through which the body politic moves and breathes and has Happily my closing sentences need not be of such ambiguous import as those ad- dressed by the Patriarch to Judah and his brethern. (Great laughter. Though a country in the throes of a general election might have some sympathy with the attitude of Isaacher. (Loud laughter.) As f{ am not a defeated Prime Minister I have no temptation to apply to you the burden of Reuben. (Great laugi- ter.) What then is to be my valediction ? MY PARTING COUNSELS to the citizens of the Dominion beiore | turn my face to the wall—a very few words will convey them—-LOVE YOUR COUNTRY ; BELIEVE IN HER HONOR, HER WORK; LIVE FOR HER, pig FoR wer. (Tremendous applause.) Nev- er has any people been endowed with a nobler birthright, or blest with prospects of a bright- er future. Whatever gitt God has given to man is to be found within the borders of your confidence, business is brisk.” . +<enp-> Conservative Majorities. Amone the Conservative majorities were the following.

It is true the zone within which your lines are cast is characterized by ruder features than those displayed in lower lititudes, and within more sunward-stretch- ing lands; but the North has ever been the home of liberty, industry and valor—(cheers) —and great diversities of climate, and of geo- graphical and physical conditions, and wont to breed antagonistic material interests and dis- ruptive tendencies, which the fortunate unl- formity of your own climate and position can never engender, (Applause.) It is also true you are not so rich as many other communi- ties. But the happiness of a people does not so much depend upon the accumulation of wealth as upon its equable distribution. (Hear, hear.) In many of the wealth- iest nations of Europe thousands can scarce- ly obtain their daily bread, and though anada is by no means at present a nation of .iilionaries, there is not amongst you an ag- ricultural homestead between the Atiantic and John A.

Untrep Srares Naval Commander Ro lg- ers reports that 10,000 people attended the meetings in the Samoan Islands on the 17th of July, to ratify the treaty with the United States. A German man-of-war and a Brit- ish vessel were there looking after the in- do not reign (applause), and in a thousand localities THE EARTH IS BURSTING WITH MINERAL WEALTH which only requires impreved transportation to develop. (Renewed applause.) Nor, in- deed, are you so numerous as your neighbors, but this is an inferiority which time wiil soon correct. Providence has spread out for you the fertile prairies of the North-West, and our daughters must do the rest. (Loud ughter and applause.) But if these admis- sions may be made on the one side, what countervailing superiorities may be quoted on the other! In the first place, you possess THE BEST FORM OF GOVERNMENT with which any historical nation has ever been forests of their reapertive citizens, ee — °F ee Otc aes 4 eieteieniietean. tt aaa blessed, (Cheers.) The excellency of the napa aaa a eee its being. Upon it depends the rapid and economica! conduct of every branch of your affairs, and there is nothing that a nation should be so particular about as to secure in such a service independence, zeal, patriotism, and integrity ; but in order that this should be the case it is necessary that the civil ser- vants should be given a status, regulated by their requirements, their personal qualitica- tions, their capacity for rendering the country eflicient service, aud that neither their original appointment, nor their subsequent advance- ment, should in any way have to depend upon their political connection or opinion. (Ap- plause.) If you take my advice you will never allow the Civil Service to be degraded into an instrument to subserve the ends and interests of any political party. The success of a polit- ical party ought to depend upon its public policy and the ability of its chiefs, and not upon the advantage likely to accrue to its in- dividual adherents. In fact, the more the area of personal protit, consequent upon a CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT, is limited, the better for the country at large. (Hear, hear.) On the other hand the inde- pendence thus conceded to the members of the Civil Service impose upon them a special ob- ligation, namely, that they should serve their successive chiefs, no matter to which side they may belong, with a scrupulously impartial zeal and loyalty, (Hear, hear.) There is no of- fence which should be visited with swifter or more condign punishment than any failure in this respect. A civil servant who allows his poli- tical sympathies to damp his ardor, devotion, zeal and loyalty to his departmental chiefs, is a disgrace to his profession. Happily both the great political parties in this country have given in their adherency to this principle. Both are convinced of the wholesomeness of the doctrine to which I have referred, and I have no doubt that the anxiety manifested by our friends across the lines to purge their own civil service of its political complexion, will confirm every thinking Canadian in the con- viction | have sought to impress upon you. (Applause.) Again, then, I say to you guard this and every other characteristic of your constitution with unfailing diligence, for though you search all the world over it is not likely you will ever get a better one. (Cheers.) It is true no one can live in the proximity of our great neighbors across the line without conceluing the greatest admiration for the wisdom which framed the political institn- tions under which they have so wonderfully prospered, but I am not at all sure but that the success of the original experiment is not as much due to the fortitude, the good sense and the moderation of the subsequent generation that have carried it into effect as to the fore- sight and wisdom of its authors, and certain am I that there is not a thinkjng American, sritish Constitation, with the self-expanding | ene I ee who, however, proud he may be of his country does not occasionaly cast AN ENVIOUS SHEEP’S BYE (laughter)—across the border at our more fortunate condition. The truth is that almost every modern coustitution has been — the child of violence, and remains indeliably impressed with the scars of the straggle which ushered in its birth. (Applause.) Written Constitu- tion is of necessity an artificial invention, a contrivance of formula as inelastic as the parchment on which it is written, instead of being a living, primeval, heaven-engendered growth, whereas the foundation of the policy under which you live are a secular antiquity. (Loud Applause.) No revolutionary convul- sion has severed the continuity of your his. tory, or disherited you of your past. Your annals are not comprised within the lifetime of a centenarian, but reach back through A THOUSAND YEARS OF MATCHLESS ACHIEVE- MENT in every field of exertion open to mankind. (Loud applause.) Nor do ever the contines of two oceans suflice to hedge you in, but you share an Empire whose flag floats, whose juris- diction asserts itself, in every quarter of the globe (applause—whose ships whiten every sea—whose language is destined to spread further taan any European tongue-—-whose in- stitutions every nation aspiring to freedom is endeavoring to imitate, and whose vast and widespread colonies are vicing with each other in their affectionate love for the mother coun- try, in their efforts to add lustre to the kng lish name, in their longing to sce cemented still more closely the bonds of that sacred and majestic union within which they have been born. Gentlemen, believe ine, one is not an Englishman for nothing, and although, per- haps, I should be prepared to go beyond many of my hearers, not merely in justifying but in extolling the conduct of those heroic men of the Revolutionary perio’, who tore themselves—though I believe with bleeding hearts—from their mother’s side, rather than to submit to her tyranny, I coniess | should have ditiiculty in finding words to express my want of sympathy for those—should any such ever come Into existence—who, unless under the stress of equal provocation, should be tempted to abjure so glorious a birthright in pursait of . AN UYOPIAN CHIMERA. (Applause.) None such, however, are here. (Cheers.) Of course I am well aware that many of the most earnest-minded men among us have insisted of late years with laudable en- thusiasm——aud in. doing so, though perhaps un- consciously to themselves, they have only given utterance to the feeling of every man and wo- maa in the nation—upon the duty of a supreme devotion to the interests of their own Canada, But you are well aware that as an Imperial of- ficer | have never shown the slightest jealousy or breathed a word in discouragement of such honorable sentiments, for | am convinced that so far from being antagonistic to Imperial in- terests it is amongst those who are prepared to make the greatest sacrifices for their native land that we shall always find the most loyal subjects of the Queen. (Great applause.) The only thing that perhaps I would be disposed to depreciate would be the over-passionate adyo- eacy of any speculative programme that may be outside of the orbit of practical statesman- ship, as every human society is in a state of continuous development, so occasional re-ad- justment of its mechanism becomes necessary, but I think you may take it for granted that, though they may not talk much about it, the experienced men who superintend your affairs are PERPETUALLY ON THE WATCH for any serious symptoms of strain or friction in the wheels of the body politic, and as soon as these disclose themselves there is no doubt they will find expedients with which to meet the emergency. It is in this way, by this practical procedure, and not by theoretical ex- cursions into dreamland, that the British policy has been so successfully elaborated, (Applause.) As long as a man sleeps well, has a good appetite, and feels generally jovial, he may rest assured he needs no doctoring; but if he takes to perpetually feeling his pulse, look- ing at his tongue, and watching his digestion, he will invariably superinduce all kinds of imaginary pains and aches, and perhaps a real illness. Well, so faras I have observed, you all appear at present in the best of health and spirits, and I do not know that you will much better your condition by allowing your imagin- ation to speculate as to whether the exuberant vitality you are accumnlating in your system under your present satisfactory regimes, will, or will not eventually necessitate some hun- dred years hence an inconceivable process of amputation. (Laughter and applause.) And And I am all the more inclined to hold this | language because I feel that the stability of the relations between the Dominion and the mother country does not depend upon mere sentimental impulses, but is sanctioned and enforced by an appeal to the most practical and =_siutilitarian considerations, (Cheers.) I do not say that sentiment goes for nothing in the case; on the contrary, 1 be- lieve it to be a most importantand noble factor in the forces which unite the Fmpire, and woe ! be to that statesman who does not take POPULAR SENTIMENT into his consideration when considering the future! But what is so satisfactory in this case is that those sentiments of loyalty and affection for the mother country which are so dominant in Canada, coincide and run in parallel lines with what the coldest common sense, and the most calculating policy would recommend, (Loud applause.) They are, in fact, but the wreath oF roses which entwine and overlie the strong cords of mutual profit and advantage by which the two countries are bound to one another. (Applause.) I there- fore say, cherish as one of the noblest tradi- tions transmitted by your forefathers that feeling of LOYALTY TOWARDS GREAT BRITAIN, t'fe Empire and its Sovereign, by which you are animated, for itis in that direction, and not in any other one, that your true course lies. (Great applause.) And now, in con- clusion, Ihave but one more word to say— However earnestly I may have besought you to be faithful to you native land, and to esti- mate at its proper value your birthright as Englishmen, itis almost with equal persist- ence that [ would exhort you to cultivate the most FRIENDLY AND CORDIAL RELATIONS WITH THE GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE. A nobler nation, a people more generous or more hospitable does not exist. (Loud ap- plause.) ‘To have learnt to understand and appreciate them I esteem as not the least of the many advantages I have gained by coming to Canada. (Appilause.) Of my own knowl- edge I can say that they are animated by the kindliest feelings towards the Dominion, and A Ly I cannot doubt but that the two countries are destined to be united in the bonds of an un. broken friendship. (Loud applause.) Nor can | conceive a more interesting or delightful task in sti re for the philosopbical historian than to record the amicable rivalry of sueh powerful and cognate communities in the path of progress. ‘The one a Republic, indeed, but ane 0 ne pre-eminence assi to the clect of the people, and the comparati freedom of the Sai from Parliamentary control, introduces a feature akin to personal government; the other a Monarchy, but to which the hereditary principle communicates such an element of stability as to render pos- sible the application of what is really the most pe aud democratic political system ta he ound on this Continent (loud cheers), while both combine, each in its respective sphere, to alvance : THE HAPINESS OF MANKIND, and to open ap a newer and fresher chapter of human history. (Applause.) And now, gen tlemen, [ must hurry to a conclusion. J haye only to thank you for the patience with which you have listened to me. My race amongst youisrun, To-day | am but tily finishing off the concluding graph if my offivial career, That reste toe happy to think, is destined to become the preface of a more bril- liant chapter in our history. (Cheers.) Ina few weeks one of the most promising of the younger generation of English statesmen will reach your shores, accompanied by A DAUGHTER OF YOUR QUEEN, (Great applause.) Under the auspices of these distinguished personages you are“destined to ‘ascend yet higher in the hierarchy of the na- tion, to he drawnstilleloser to the heartof your mother country, to be recognized still more universally as one of the most loyal, most prosperous, and mest powerful of those great Colonial Governments which unite to form the Empire of Great Britain. (Great Applause.) May tod Almighty bless you and keep you, and pour out upon your glorious country the universal blessings that lie at His hand.
