The debate which has just closed, has abundantly shown that the gentlemen who vecupy the Opposition benches can lay no claim to the | possession of either of these qualifications. Soon after the House met the policy of the Opposition became apparent. _ Knowing that there existed great differences of opinâ€" ion in the House, as well as in the country, on the amount of indemnity paid to memâ€" bers, they determined to test the strength of the Government on this question. ‘This was a most unprecedented course.
