~ - HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. ~~ 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 | contrary, | as it was ealled ; but, for his own part, he that any man either coald truly be said to have a country, lor to deserve to have one, who could not rejoive and glory ia the patriotic and ennobling recollections of ancestral virtua a | and renown. They who laughed at the glory argament knew Jittle of what had e the sun nevor sets upon her dominions, and that the sound | ence, of her drums has always been, either the prelude to victory, or the announcement of its glorious acconiplishment ir dor the glor’ous rule of Britain he was bora, and unde: | st it he would die. ‘Io Anglo Saxon genius vo secrets 0! science were insertable ; and to Angio-Saxon perseverance enterprise, skill, and bravery, nothing within the bounds of human power was unattainab.e, ‘The practicability of a Confederation of the Provinces and Territories of British North Amerie:, to their utmost extent and limits, into a great national power, is, with respect to geographical d fii- | eulties, fast ceasing to be regarded as a mere visiouary idea. ‘The empire of which it would form the foundation, would in extent, be inferior only to those of Russia, China, and did not think | it is for their benefit, and this induce them to accept i.” \‘ [The harmovious and happy result of the Quebec Conference | ‘had, by the Hon. the Leader of the Opposition, been very | justly attributed, in a considerable-measure. to liberal and : >t se.of individual opinions On | gates, in favour of the Resolutions a din*that Confer-| the Quebee Conference, to be consistent, + ; " > ar r severy dele age nabled Great Hritain to boast thet | Yee »~_ of teiroprorshas why for | ought to oppose the Resolutions n wise concessions and comprom He himseli, as well as that hon gentleman, lad, the sake of harmony and the general good, foregone some | of his own opinions ‘in that important Convention, Por in- ance, he was strong'y impre sed with the opinion that, as ‘in the Senate of the United States, all the sections of the Coufedcration should be equally represented in the Upper louse — that the greatest in tenrizerial ex'ent apd popu: lation, should not, in that branch of the Federal Legislature, be allowed a greater number of representatives, than any of the smaller or less populous sections ; and, in the Gon- ference, he urged his opision to that effect; but. fading. , from the strong opposition which was made to it, that, if he at-Ottawa, he “spoke strength thaniany othe Jf duitsiatoriegWwOte fur the Rosoltions’ gub-| nitted by the Hon, the Leader of the oer rh ent ; ney, avib might justly *be anid that, with ten fold more r oti the \fsland Dele- lopted at he ow subrmit: | ted aga net Confederation with ten’ ties | greater cnergy than any ether, bon. member who is opposed to shem.

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.

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. the people at the polls; and, both in his legislative and ex- veutive capacity, be had spoken and acted accordingly. 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 legates who sat in the Quebee Con‘erence than the sacrifice of their respective Provacial Constivutions, The powers | which, by that Scheme, if carried into effeet. would be giveu to the Federa) Legislature were such as would neither re-| quire, nor necessitate, a vu lificarion of the several s: para‘e) Provincial Constitutions, »ltough separate legislation under | those several Constitations would certainly be restricted to | certain classes of subjects, sod confined within narrower |i- | mits than those which orizinally cireumseribed their opera. | tiov ; and so happily cont: olled would it be by the General, Government or bederai Parham nt, that no rivalry of oJ terests could spring up between different Provinees. 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 ment of its own oval aff.irs, limited im power only to such an extent as would preveut its operating iu lavorof its own proxperi'y at the expense of any o tue ovhers. Ot the advao- tages of Union, the United S:aces, since their atvainmen: of | io — ootwithstouding their Jate disustrous disioca- tion and marrow escape from complete diswemberm: at—_ efforded the most couclu-ive evidence, by their inercase in ' j Colony for its due consideration; for the gentlemen who were chosen by tt to represent the Island at the Quebee Conuteresce, were selected so as fairly to represent the two great political parties of our little state. That Delegation / was composed of the Hon. Colonel Gray, President of the 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 [ne Governments of the oher Provinces acted tu the same | fair and wnpartial manner; and men of: every party and of he must coufl cting polvica! opinious were brought toge- ther ia the Coulereuce, tor the purpose of considering whe- ther, Measures gould not be devised for the greater security | vw our free imstitarions, for the consolidation of British power im the-e Provinces, and tor the more thorough es- teblishment and prepetuation thereit of the envobling aud in- Vigorating principles of the British Constiturion. Well, indeed, unght the Hou. the Leader of the Opposition (Mr. U>es) say of the result of that Coufereuce, as he did at Utiowa, that ** he thougit they (she Dologates) had reason oy emgratulate themseives upon the jabours of tae Con- ference. That thirty-three men, represen'ing the various poitwal Opinions of six different Provinces, could lave as- @ Cousttuiton, sured for that great Confederation, was sutuething, he believed, such as the world had never secy be- tore, aud shewed thar the D- legates were worthy o: the po- | stiou they hed. He said ths although there was no Wan more disappointed than himself with regard to som- which could only be constitutionally deeded by the voice o! | | question ; and, in doing so, argued that the existence of that disagreement evidenced po uuworthiness or unfitness for his ‘or their position ou the part of any individual member or | members of that Cabinet. 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. The hon. and learned gen- tleman’s object, in referring to these hist rical incidents, was tu shew that such differences might arise and exist between members of the same Cabinet, and such misunderstundings | oecur, even beqween the supreme head of the Government and ‘his Executive, without their necessitating any just condem- | nation of either of the disagreeing parties; as, in such cases, the disagreement might, and, perhaps, generally did, arise | solely from an adherenee, on each side, to the most conseien- | | tious convictions. or the most sincere desire fur the preserva- | tion or promotion of the public welfare. And, in particular- ‘+ his hon. friend, the Leader of the Opposition’ (Mr. Coles), the hon. and learned gentlemen took occasion to observe that |the day which had untortunately seen honest and hearty op- ponents in the political arena, veritable and undisguised ‘enemies in private life, was happily gone by ; and congratu ilated that hon. gentlemen and himself that now, however | pe vat the hostility which. on the floor of the Assembly, each might manifest to the publie poliey and poli‘ical sentiments | | of the other, they could, at all times, meet as true friends | ‘both in the social haunts and in the private walks of Iie. 'In countries in which self-government did not prevail, politi. | ‘eal contests seldom failed to provoke the most rancorvus ill | will, and to wive rise to the most uncharitable asperities ; but \where that form of government is established its happy operation, in equalizmg both barthens and privileges, and un hulding tle balance even between contending aspirants for | place and power, had a most salutary weight in the repres sion of jealousy and ill-will; and its influences, where they jhad long been felt, seldum failed to induce the practiee of forbearance and courtesy in parliamentary debates.—Lhe | jhon. and learned gentleman then observed, that, in giving (his support to the Resvlations in amendment, which had | been submitted by the bon. member for St. Peter's, (Hon | Mr. Whelan.) be did not think it necessary to dilate upon | the Quebee Scheme, or to advert with any particularity to | what had taken place at the Quebee Conference ; for all that jhe could say upon those topics be had said in the Session of 1865, and it was duly recorded in the Parliamentary Report er of that year. Indeed-he feared he had already trespassed | | too far on the time and patience of the Ilouse by iteration ot | |} much that he had formerly spoken upon the same question , | ‘hat his apology was, that, as he stili adhered to the seit. i i | iy addresssing some of his observations on that subj-et bo | ?
