people i defy any trenlieman either in the house or out of it to point out any instance where i have been oppo sed lo the prohibition act 1 am in favor of it from principle and have been in favor of it ever ince i have bectl a member of this house and often urged in favor of it at mclean rose to call the lion gentleman to order because he did not think his remarks lutd any bearing upon he question before them mr perry would inform the hon gentleman of tins much that he should take the present opportu nity of speaking to such mutters as he ititenued to propose he was very willing to take advice from any member on the floor of the house whether friend or foe but in this case he should insist upon his right to go on unless he was prevented by the decision of the speaker yhc chairman was of opinion that any matter connected with or growing out of the resolution winch mr perry hud to propose was a suitable sub ject for discussion and therefoie decided that mr perry was in order mr perry then proceeded nothing he said could tend more to the interest of the agriculturist than lo put on a protecting duty- as lorg as every thing which our farmers raise for market was allow ed to come in from the slates free of duty they could not thrive it was not as it should be there with regard to the subject of emigration here mr perry read an extract from the address he had alluded to and continued now i atn hee to ad mit that this country has derived great adantaes from the increase of emigration and i for cne am ready and willing to hold out the hand of fellow ship to all who come from the mother country but now our attention is chiefly to be directed to ano ther subject that is the public works that have been constructed either under the direction of the mother morrison iaea3c 71 of one or more shops wc leal iij too tliut immono numbers of them arc sent not only to every part of this country but to the continent to india and to america now it appears from analysis that thev depend for their medical properties chiefly upon dicinc but used by thoc who understand its action in every dose and with much caution the gam boge exists in the pills marked ivo 2 in the quantity of about a grain and a half and of these g i i nnd upwards are sometimes given at once thus the patient swallows about 15 grains of gamboge for a dose but besides each pill contains in addition oneprain which is made up between aloes and co- locynth two active purgatives and half a grain of cream of tartar which is probably added lor the pur pose of assisting the pulverization and blending to gether of the other substances the pills marked no 1 containing less gamboge about one grain and more cream of tartar the other constituents being the same there is also in both a trace of ginger that a mere compound of drastic purgatives ehould be put forth as capable of curing every dis esse might be deemed the acme of absurdity did we not see that the public swallow the imposture and the pills with amazing avidity and this leads us to remark that the components are occasionally very imperfectly mixed probably from ure quan tities being prepared at a time and the mass not being triturated with sufficient care trchavc repeat edly known casea where half a dozen pills have pro duced no effect and yet on taking one or two more most violent and almost uncontrollable purging has resulted a circumstance easily accounted for by supposing the first dose to have contained little more than cream of tartar and ginger the second to have country or this province- we ill take the wel- land canal how does it stand at this day wat is its appearance at this day is this the improvement winch has done so much 1 i am a favorable to im provement as any other man but 1 am not for run ning in debt in wild speculations 1 would ask any man whether he dues not believe that the co in try would be better off at this day if the wclland ca nal had never been commenced and the money which ha been expended nn it appropriated to other uuiw4ct xiic bun- bmltiiiidti wliu uf lffeacnis the wclland slated on a former occasion that more work could not have been done for the same money i will grant so much but that does not satisfy me of its usefulness then there is another subject which 1 have alluded to in the resolutions i have proposed and that is the subject of jeneral edu cation how it should happen that his excellen cy should have ajivuvu ikio ll uhfwufsmi tuhject a subject which he has so ably put forward as one of the most vital importance ami for whh he had been so strenous an advocate as to draw upon him- elfotnr rnvenrinsttrf i rpntmhpf 1 wtifl nn iujnici occutfiojij iimiit ills uixceittiticy ihmi procii ted kings college from being established at all he would atone fur nil his political oflence i have u i way n been of opinion that nothing could be mure for the interests of the rouutiy than to have the lauds which are appropriated to that college applied to the establishing of free grammar schools and in this 1 will be borne out by my boo friend from la- nark that this was the first intention of the iovern- menif but it was afterwards thought more expedient that other provision should be made for be grain mar school that this land should he taken and appropriated to one mammoth establishment other lands of less value granted in lieu thereof there is tlie subject oc the clergy reserves whenever that question was brought up a large and sweeping majority were in favor of having them sold and the proceed applied to the purposes of general educa tion but not one word was said about them in tile speech i hope and trust he has not withdrawn ins lavor from this measure under these circumsian- ces i thought it my duty to allude to it to inform llts hxcelleucy that if he lias forgotten it we hate utt and i hope and trust ihat a system will be adop ted hy which the people of the country will be ena bled to give their sons and daughters a common eng lish education that all the institutions of educa tion will be put on that footing that will aflord all ii mnjestys subjects an etpial privilege and an equal advantage then sir his excellency has

in the chair mr part rose to propose a scries of resolutions in reply to the speech of the lieut luvcmor il was the first time he said mct he had hail the honor of a seat in that house that he had fell himself called upon to be the mover of an address 10 his excel lency in reply to a speech from the throne and for a very good reason he had never before seen in instance when a single day had bt en allowed to elapse after the opening of the session without a motion being made hy some hon member more capable no doubt than himself on the subject of he address he had taken up the subject how- er and would propose nucll resolutions as he had prepared at once and lay them upon tbc tabic that hon members might examine tlnin m i read hit resolutions and proceedrd his excel ncy directs our attention to two particulars which he consider most deeerong of notice- and to which he attributes the prosperity of the province one j he flow of emigration and the other ih lh public works well sir my answer m this in unit the house will be ready to aflbrd all the mippuit in thcii ftiwer to any thing that h calculated to hruefit the rovince but sir 1 am nut willing to admit that our pretent proiptrous coadition- and all the benefit- ry despatch wc were informed that his majestys in tention were that a most full and urcscrved state incut should be given lo pursuance of this des- pateh the house by a unanimous vute tequested hik excellency to fiend down a full and detailed matetueut at an early period of the nest session well iti the address ilis excellency was pleased to say thai he would comply accordingly last ses sion he did send down a statement but what kind of a statement was it was it in accordance with the despatch let any man look at it and say if it will tfhflu for what purpose the dtllcrenl sums of money were expended it is likely it is all correct hut this is not the sort ofnceoiint which lord godcrich by his despatch intended and which this house in tended when they asked lor an account of the mo- nies received from the sale of urowit r in one item of which amounting to xvhu the net i proceeds after deducting the charges of the olucer or stiperimeutleijt amounts to 111 all the rest is tallowed up in the expenses of collecting in the lutier part of his address his kxcellency informs us thai in has received asaurances from diuercnt parts of the province of the attachment of the iu- liabiiains io his majestys tiovorninem well sir it is not very nsttmishi tig that his j should receive ivli proofs at alt times of his subjects at lachmcnt hut sir it is

to hold mf up a- disloyal or to hold up any oilier man because he may diller from some certain men in ofltce with regard to the expenditure of public money island here prepared to have my attachment to his ma jestys government put in competition with that of those men who are pretending to so much after all what is the test of true loyalty i should it bejudeed to belong only lo those who came into the province but yesterday rather than those who have borne the burthen and heat ofthe day who have sacrificed every thing for their king and their country it has been admitted in the british house of commons that the americans were justified in their revolu tion no no mr oconnell told them that ire land would have been justified in taking up arms against the government if they could have made out their case as clear as the americans did the re volution is not looked upon that horror ill these days that it formerly was i remember the time when my blood would chill when my good and venerable father used to sit down and relate the sullerings endured by those attached to british principles during the revolutionary war he abandoned his properly forsook every thing he possessed and joined the british service wilt any one bring a charge of disloyalty against him and perhaps 1 would be as ready and willing to take up arms against the enemies of my country as they who make so much noise and outcry because j find fault with some things in the administration and because i am not willingto go the lengths of some hon gentlemen and sir by whom is thi charge of disloyalty brought many persons who have loyalty on their lips and at their tongues ind may at the very same moment have treason in their hearts who was it that not many years ago declared he would resist an act of his majestys government with physical force 1 i allude to the tax upon emi grants coming into this province although ihe king had confirmed the act by giving his assent to it yet there are some persons who declared they would resist the law by force and yet these persons would set themselves up for models of loyalty but il any thing goes a little to differ from their views why they arc ready t resist right or wrong and then if they are deprived of their rflices and turned about their business they will begin ocast about in their minds eye for a new state of political existence the hon and learned solicitor gene ral will no doubt oppose my resolutions but he may rise as the lion ofthe government he may rise and he may shake his inane and lash his sides but he shall never frighten me from doing what i consider to be my duty that 1 shall do without fear favor or affection all the noise about loyalty will not answer there is a still small voice which says that reform will go forward notwithstanding all the op position of all the combined forces which can he brought against it and although the policy ofthe government of upper canada may be to draw a lm of distinction and declare all who do not come up to thai line to be rebels and traitois the time is coming 1 humbly trust when the just rights ol the people will be respected when the voice of the people their wises and desires shall be attended to i am satisfied the time will arrive when the home government will be undeceived with regard to the lovaltv of the pinnli uf pwtw oandri s itm as they arc nut undecetxtl the same hue ol policy must be expected to be pjrsued who arc the per sons who receive office lttde the present admiuis ration are they distingjished for worth or talent 1 or arc they only politic partizans in the early settlement of the provite il was his majestys in structions that all whooiued the standard against the united states shoutt be distinguished and that their offspring should be

not rsilld upon to eel- the speech of ii is excellency it is our duty to express our sentiments honestly and boldly to express uirconviction with regard io the situation fillings i go into policy flf government let the people of tin whole country be informed ofthe real state ol thu ga my impression ofthe speech upon the whole i that the wits of some person were set to work lo nee how much writings could be wasted in expressing nothing at all such as it is we have it before us my resolutions 1 will lav upon the table mr gowan begged to make a few remarks in re ply to what had been said the hon member said air gowan hoped there would be no difference of opinion with respect to the resolution he had offer ed but can there be a legislative body who would be brought to adopt resolutions such as these that body were unworthy of the name of legislators i do hope that common courtesy will be allowed to havo place in all proceeding of this hon house no matters unconnected with the speech should be introduced into the reply the subjects which the hon member has touched upon will be before us in their due course and i hii take great pleasure in deed in giving them every consideration which the importance of the different subjects merits i doubt not i shall be ready when these subjects are brought forward at their proper lime to support the visions entertained by the hon member but when i see lum coming forward and introducing that which has no connection with the speech i shall feel it my duty to be opposed to him the hon gentleman has told us that his district has not been benefitted by emigration would an emigrant have the hardi hood to force himself into that country in which at a public meeting it was declared they wanted no emigrants among them in fact they have done every thing in their power to prevent them the hon gentleman will tell us that the address adopted at that meeting does not condemn emigration but from the explanation given what are we to con clude we are told that his excellency recom mended the representatives oc the people on their return home to call meeting and recommend the encouragement of emigration in pursuance of this recommendation they assembled the people and what did they do when assembled did they do that for whirh ostensibly they had called the meet- ing on the contrary they got tip an address to the king praying for the removal ofthe governor what were emigrants to expect that they were friendly to them certainly not the subject on which the ucrc assembled emigration and i hey pray the king in appoint a governor more in accordance tfiul their views on that very subject yet the hoi gentleman comes forward in this as seinblv anil iv u he is not unfavorable to eniira tion iicr from mr p the boo gentleman may cry her but if i stood up here this day and proposed ic exclude all emigrants coming rout the united stt unless they were of fair character and good principles what would he say to it here ore coming from home without an ehiirtft of il upon ihem and they are de nominated h on speaker a set of paupers who with ht least principle of feeling within hun would chute tbem with pauperism if this he the friendship are to exercise towards our lellow mihjects i think 1 may milely jay from such friend- tihip good l deliver us the hon gentleman hat mtrodtr r lie object of education it wan mv intention on coming to this assembly irtirtj a bill on that subject but finding thar fc membeil belike in glengarry hatheen hjr ne nnd given notice of abiltj l mts await the u 1fl hand with coursi it will afford me great introduction of his measure f rent satisfaction to give hinl 2 assistance m my power but i cannot iee wh i has to do with our reply to his excellency rjl the hon gentleman has told us that ilia excelht has always heretofore taken notice of ih and haanow omitted ami very sagely concluj 5 ajtct that ht8 excellency has forgotten itnhogethcr tk i gentleman proposes to send up in h ana rr f odium the veneration rilling to do resist a law whici hj je- mnction of government jm pa hoi some remarks on the casual and tentorial rev sir when that gentleman brings forward the aubjjj in a separate slwpe i shall be ready to afford s all the assistance in my power for i think it wf to be fully explained the revenue is raised r the people we ire the representatives of the peom and guardian of their interest and i therefore hwj that all will be laid fully and explicitly before the hon gentleman has also alluded to the subject of imposing a duly on foreign market sir i mdt yesterday some remarks on that subject and thiu now- consider it not improper to express myselfa favor of such a measure the hon gentleman it a warm and energetic manner has said he would despise any man who should speak of hiinasdulw ai sir when he uses such strong language he should remember thv language he used vcsierday be said that to excuse was to admit sir ths hon gentleman told us of a statement made by mr 0- oonnell in the house of commons in england 1 remember very well the subject it was the union of ireland with great britain he should base ha ted the case fairly the expression waa tharjf ireland could muke out as strong a case in favor pf repeal as the americans made they should be sup ported 1 thought it right to correct the gentleman in this as these utaiemenu are calculated to toislead the public and such members of this house as hait not read the debate on that subject the hon feu- tlenian has spoken a great deal about the loyalty of his father and perhaps it may be as well far me to to stale now that 1 am on my legs and the quesuoa baa been brought up that there is no member of ibis house who values more than i do the suffering and privations which bue been endured by those who have deserted al nnd turned their backs on the homes of their fathers tor the sake of their country there is not a man in thu province who has a more lively regard for thoc loyal and true hearrs than i have and i hope there will never be a man cold blooded enough to undervalue their worth but when the hon- gentleman comes forward and telli its of the loyalty of bis father and stamps his foot with impassioned energy while he declares liis willingness to folio his example let himconaidtr what his father would think if he were living toiee lum in the ranks of hotheaded reformists mr fcrrylu is living and a reformer i is no tory mr goiean- well sir however the namt may be praised or lumvtnw it may be abused howler much he ma net itforil to the public as a term time wan when the namcfm held io and the time was when he who ihould vme forward v v mvihhtf dipmragingfy f woild have been scouted out of the house there is another discrepancy in the hon gentlemans corr- duct to which 1 cannot avoid referring he telu us he is not opfjoscd to emigration and yet he condemns with all his powers the expressions of an hon gentleman in opposition to the emigration bill tax now i would ask with what faee an hon gentleman can stand up in this assembly and say he is not opposed to emigration and the same time declare himsell m fvor of that act jr perry explained what he had m that he would not as some hon members declared rhemvlveft w ceived the s fort mr cowan continued the explanation ofth hon member is jost as i expected sir i think he who can stand up on the floor of this house and ad vocate the poll tax ciii have no sincerity in him when he declares himself favorable to emigration why should foreigners of ihe most distant country kussiaus turks or even ethiopians if you please be welcomed among us without any exactiona upon their pocket while our own countrymen native born british subjects should be subjected to so in vidious a distinction the hon gentleman must take care that he does not rouse a lion more formi dable lhan the hon and learned solicitor tienvrak he may rouse the hon of england and if he doei depend upon it he will feel the effects of his paws the hon gentleman complains that all offices of trust and emolument are held by tories i am not aware of a single office of emolument in the district of johnstown being he id by any other than the de- ccidant of an u e loyalist or an american emi grant i am not complaining of this but mention ing the fact for the information of the hon gentle man he has told us how his blood has boiled at the treatment hit father has received he tuld ui he was so inflated with loyally that he was ready to go to war with the united states at any moment i am sorry to take up the time ofthe committee un necessarily but before i sit down i feel it tny duty to declare that the people of this country are as firmly attached to the institutions of the country with regard to the resolutions proposed a proper sense of what is due to his excellency will prompt a dilverent course from that recommended by the hon gentleman mr samson entered into an explanation respect ing an item of expenditure contained in the account sent down to the house which had been complained of by mr terry and proceeded to remark upon the subjects of education and emigration which were touched upon in the resolutions if it were not said mr s that petitions have been submitted on these subjects perhaps it might be proper to in- trodude into the reply any notice of thce subjects of of that of the casual and territorial revenue he would like to know if a portion of the revenue could be better expended than in making the emigrants comfortable and sending them to their settlements i i this assistance had nut been afforded them it was very likely the hon member would have been the liri to complain of the inconvenience of having uimvig us a set of pauper emigrants mr kmin dill not agree with the hon member for leeds m jowan who had told them that it was their duty to echo the speech ol his ex ce lien cv- he mr kobliu did not stand there in his character of representative of the people for the purpose of confining himself to use only such wools as should he put into his mouth he was at all times ready to express ilia vie wb and sentimentv and lie did not think it at all improper to introduce any subject upon which they wished to convey their opinions til ins kxcellency unless hon members were afraid uf making known to his excellency what their opinions were tli mr lean had understood that a certain meet ing had been called the nighl before last and he supposed they were to regard the resolutions which had been submitted to the house an the result ofthe proceeding at thai meeting but he hoped hon p
