It appears from the representaâ€" tion of a government employée that the pracâ€" t‘ce has heen adopted in Quebec/and he conâ€" siders that inasmuch as the highest officers of the Executiveall take an oath of fealty to the Crown, there could be no indignity in "reâ€" quiring the subordinates of the Civil Service to give the same public assurance of their loyalty and attachment to the. Throne and constitution of great Britain. The days are somewhat passed when oaths of this nature were of ordinary occurrence, when they were the sine qgue non of public employment and of high position ; the advanced intelligence whicls has made neither treason nor crime more rare, has created a distaste for their apâ€" plication to cases in which they were formerly considered essential. . But there are undoubâ€" tedly circumstances under which some test of loyalty and faithfulness becomes a necessary precaution and outwork of the public security.

Fenianism has proved itself to be a most inâ€" sidious and dangerous poison, insinuating its malign and treasonable influences into the very heart of the social body . There is no . guard against its _ramifications, nor security from its covert existence in places where its presence would be least suspected. Our correspondent tells that it is to be found amonget the employees of the public.departâ€" ments, and there is certainly good reason to believe that the taint is faur more general in pected. We cannot see that there would be anything very invidious in the oath of allegiâ€" ance, while we must confess that we should not hare much faith in its potency, since the man who is scoundrel enough to be a Fenian, would be knave enough to swallow perjiry. Still we do not say that no wholesome effect would be produced, nor would we affirm that it might not clear the departments of traitorâ€" ous vipers, if such t&nfi within their preâ€" cinets. .

It need scarcely be observed that several of the latter suspenâ€" sions have relation to Ireland only, where disaffection made stringent measures indisâ€" pensible. The nature of the Act itself, as well as the real effect of its suspension, is not generally understood. The Act which the Legislatur®‘passed on Friday empowers the government to ‘arrest suspectied persons without the privilege to the party charged with offence having power to demand his case to be judged before the period of the suspension has terminated, or only according to the provisions of the suspending act. This power is always grudgingly conceded by the English Commons, because it is placing the liberty of the subject at the mercy of a Star Cnamber despotiem. It requires great confiâ€" dence in the government to induce .the British Parhament, even in cases of emerâ€" geney, to resort to what is considered an exâ€" treme political remedy. . As we have shown, repeated cases have occurred, and not only has no evil resulted from the concession, but undoubted advantages. have acerued. _ It must be gratifying to the several members of the government to find the legislature met the views of the Cabinet with such alacrity, and unreserved confidence. It is undoubtedly well deserved. * t It has been shown that the writ is to be obâ€" tained by conformity to the provisions of a certain act of parliament; it is, therefore seltâ€" evident that if that act is in abeyance, the writ is not attainable. The effect of the sus pension is thus explained: "It has been customary in times of danger, to suspend the habeas corpus act. This suspension is effectâ€" ed by an act of parliament, which empowers the crown, for a limited period, to imprison suspected persons, without stating any reason for the imprisonment. The effect of the spP pension of the act is not in itself to enable any one to imprison suspected persons without giving any réasons for so doing, but to preâ€" vent persons who are committed upon certain charges from being bailed, tried or discharged for the time of the suspension, except under the provisions of the suspending act, leaving however, to the magistrate or person comâ€" mitting all the responsibility attending an illegal imprisonment. It is very common, therefore, to pass acts of indemmity subseâ€" quently for the protection of those who either could not defend themselves without muking improper disclosures of the information on which they acted, or who have done acts not strictly defensible at law, though justified by the necessity of the moâ€" ment."" In England the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act has always been jealousâ€" 1y granted by Parhameht, and though the occasions have not been so rare as is gene. rally supposed the periods of suspension have invariably been extremely limitedâ€"someâ€" times ouly for a few weeks, and at most from one session to another. The suspension of the act since Charles‘ times were in the folâ€" lowing years, namely in 1639, ll?f, l!g, pear and answer to the accusation in the proâ€" per court of judicature. This writ is in fact the practical application of the principle of Magna Charta, by virtue of which no man need be falsely imprisoned and the statute of Charles ‘only declares the cases and modes in which this wr‘#,may be obtained. Other subsequent acts have been passed in reference to the writ of Aabeas corpus ; as the 1st Wilâ€" liam and Mary cap. 2. restraining theâ€" deâ€" mand of excessive bail ; those of George the second and third also referring to the practice and exercise of the power given by the act of Charles II. The writ of Aabeas corpus then is in spirit and effect, a protective instrument against oppression by means of false imprisonâ€" mentâ€"a shield to the personal liberty of the subject. Let us now see in what way its suspension is made to subserve the public security. «t * Coffederatesâ€"R 1,302; W. P. Flewelâ€" ling, 1,361 ; Jobhn m, 1,375. Antisâ€"Vail, 817 ; wll, 808 ; O&:l, T16.

Mr. Brown had not yet taken his seat in the other house it would be proper to await hiscoming before the matter was gone into in this Housé, Mr. Brown was expected this evening and he (Mr. Bellcau) hoped the Hon. member (Le Tellier) would be willing to await until toâ€"morrow when the explanations issued would be fully given. Besides it would be more conenvient that the explanations should be made simulâ€" tancously in both Houses of Parliament. > Hon. Sir N. F. BELLEAU said the hon. member had cvidently not understood what he (Mr. Belleau) had wished to convey. What he had desired to state was, that it would be hardly fair to the Hon. Mr. Brown to make these explanations in hisabsence. He thought, besides, that it was but courtcous to await the appearance of that hon. gentleman before the explanations were proceeded with, and as he was expected this evening the delay could only be until toâ€"morrow, Hon. 3:. LE TELLIER assented. | Hon. Mr. FERGUSSON BLAIR shid that as the hon. member (Le Tellier) had referred to him as having passed over from his side of the House, he might say that the sole reason for having done so was with the view of assisting to carry out the important measure of the Confederation of all the British North Ameriâ€" can Provinces ; a subject upon which his hon. friend would remember he (Mr. Blair) had not agreed with him. He believed it to be a wise and desirable measure, whereas his hon. friend entertained a different opinion. The clreumâ€" -'trcn under which t! e coalition was formed well known to his hon. friend, as well as the circumstances under which the Hon, Mr. Brown had withdrawn from the Government, and no m_by toâ€"morrow, that hon. gentleâ€" tleman have " stated the reasons which had led him to withdraw. He fully agreed with his hon. friend that it was not the duty of the House to await the action of the other in respect of this or any other matter, yet he thought couresy to the hon. Mr. Brown would suggest that the explanations should be deferred until he made his appearance in his seat in that House. The Hon. Mr. Brown had felt it his duty to withdraw from the Governâ€" ment, but the Hon.

Like him he had taken no part in the formation of the coalition for he (Mr. Christic) was not in the country at the time. . But looking at the circumstanâ€" ces under _ which that coalition _ was formed, looking at â€" the position of the country at time he had felt it has duty to give the Government a fair honorable and impartial support. And he had done so, soâ€"far as his knowledge and judgement hadâ€" enabled him to do. The lrnllc object for which the coalition had been formed was the carrying in to effect the project for the Confederation of the several Colonies in British North America, and failing this, the federation of Canada itself. «Jn agreeing to support this pmflgt, he felt he was but carrying out the principles of the E'ty to which he had &lways belongec¢, and which they had long contended. He had regretted sincerely that the late Presidenat of the Council (Mr. Brown,) had felt it his duty, for reasons no doubt perfectly satisfactory to himself to resign. He had the highest respect for that hon. gent?u, and ha':d his abilities and patriotism in the greatest honor. When that hon. gentieman had joined the Governâ€" ment, he (Mr. Christie) felt that he had been moved in the highest degrea by a sense of patriotism, and had .exercised the greatest self abrogation and devotion. This he believed was the opinion of a large majority of the members of both Houses, and of the entire country, We had then reached a condition of things which:could not last much Jlouger, for they were fast tending towards anarchy. Men of both parties felt this very strongly, and had come to the conclusion that it was their duty to lay aside their party feuds, and seek some means of resolving the stubborn difficulties. And it was a matter of sincere congratulation that a pn?«:t of such vast importance to the welfare of the country had been devised the consummation of which, he hoped, would soon be realized (Hear, hear.) With reference to the resignation of the Hon. Mr. Brown, be must say he was then, and was still of opinion that it was a step to be regretted, and such he believed to be tze opinion of a large majority of the country. No doubt he had folt it his positive duty to act as he had done, and the reasons must have fully satisfied his own mind, but he (Mr. Christie) confessed he had not deemmed these reasons sufficient. However, it was premature to criticise them, especially in the absence of the hon. gentleman muoll. But as bcélr. Christic) was one of the persons who had advised the Hon.

These reâ€" marks wereâ€"equally. applicable to our own poâ€" litical lyéq; for when the Treaty of Reciâ€" procity was first arranged, the Government brought down a Bill to give it effect. He, therefore, felt that the Constitutienal principle, stated by the Secrctary of the ‘Treasury, was correct, and that we had no.;}nmnon to find fault with him. . And even if he not given these reasons it was certainly not our prerogaâ€" tive to censure ‘his proceedings, or to make untriendly comments upon their constitutional system. Well, the Government had sent a delegation of two members to Washington, and as far as he had been able to jndge of their proceedings, from newspaper reports, they had conducted their mission with much ability. Their failure to procure a renewal of the Treaty did not derogate from their merits, nor trom that of the Government, in using every proper means to procure such renewal. It liad been urged that it was derogatoryto our position to sendfto Washington at all, but he could not see it in that light. Great Britain. had not deemed it derogatory to sand an Ambassador to the Emperor of France to arrange a commerâ€" cial treaty, and when it was settled the Chanâ€" e:llor of the Exchequer had brought the scheme into Parliament. This was precisely what the Canadian Government proposed to do by sending dclegates to Washington and what was not "undignified in the Imperial Government could hardly be so in ours. Then it was said that it was not proper for them to come into contact with Congressional Comâ€" mittees as they had done, but neither could he see that there was anything derogatory in this. It was in harmony with the Amcrican system of legislation, and there was no other way of arraoging the matter. No single imember of the American Cabinet has a seat in the Legisâ€" lature. The Secretary of the Treasury had sent down the scheme and they threw it out altogether and theré was therefore no derogaâ€" tion of dignity in our delegates dealing with the Committee specially appointed to treat of such gabjects, As to the next paragraph of the Resolution little need be said. It seemed | pretty: clear that in the present state of things | in Congress there was little reason to hope for a renewal jof the treaty, and while the present leader®‘ retained their position little hope of any ngement at all... It was really mortifying and surprising that while* the old world was al oning protection as a misâ€" chievous fallagy the American Republic,which claimed to be the great modern champion of equal rights and which declaimed so strongly against class Legislation, should adopt such a policy. In his opinion it would do no good, but on the contrary a great deal of harm to the country, Me certainly hoped we would not imitate them in their singular course. He held it to be the interest of Canada to open her ports as freely as possible to the trade of a«ll nations from all parts of the world, and alâ€" though our agricultu.ists might for a little while feel the loss of the treaty, and although some inconvenience and even loss might reâ€" result in _ other _ directions, _ yet _ we ought â€" not . on that _ account to follow the _ American example or even _ to elose our doors against them, but rather to alâ€" low them if possible an easier access to our markets, _ We had no reason to fear competiâ€" tion, and with proper measures we could enâ€" sure the greater part of the trade of the far West. The paragraphs relating to an extenâ€" sion of trade with other colonies and nations, and the report of the delegates sent to the West Indies and Brazil would no doubt conâ€" tain valuable and interesting ‘ information which, as he hoped, would lead at an carly day to the opening up of new markets for our proâ€" ducts. We had great pleasure in really assurâ€" ing His Excellency of the wisdom of the course pursucd by the Government in calling out for active f-,-n'ice & hrfe portion of the Volunteer Militia‘ of the Province to resist the marauders who had threatened an attack on the country. It was a matter of the very greatest satisfacâ€" tion that the response to the call of His Ex cellency had been so prompt and enthusiastic, but it could notâ€"be otherwise. We were threatâ€" ened by ruffian« who came to plunder and deâ€" vastate the country under the pretext of estabâ€" lishing an Irish Republic. Our people had fclt that in repelling these men they were deâ€" fending the right as well as defending their hearths and homes. ‘They felt that it was a wanton and wholly unjust proceeding, and that whaterer wrongs might have existed in Ireland, or might still exist there, this country was in no wise nfloudblc or accountable for them. Every Irighman who came to Canada was sure of the same rights and of the enjoyâ€" ment of the same privileges as eyery other subject no matter of what creed he might be. The law protected all equally, and therefore there were no just grounds of complaint against the people of this country. Even General Sweeny himself in aâ€"recent speech had stated that the Fenians had really no cause of quarrel with btudn; and it was to be hoped thatwhen the facts of the recent invasion became known in England we would have no more talk in the papers about the probability of quarrels on account of the colonies. This quarrel was none of ours, We had got into it because we formed part of.the Empire though in no way the occasion. Yet we had made it our own quarrel, and in doing so had defended the integrity of the Empire. (Hear, hear.) If ts conduct on our part had not the effect of disabusing certain minds in Great Britain about the dispositions of the Colonics we might entirely despair of ever doing it. It was also a matter of honest pride that the preciEuue ‘ retreat of the Fenians spoken of by His Excelâ€" lency had been due to the valour of our own. volunteers unaided by a single soldier otf the line. But he did sincerely unite with His Exâ€" celiency in deploring the loss of life which but resulted from this invasion to our gallant voluntcers as well as the sufferings entailed upon the wounded men. No doubt the govâ€" ernment felt that an expression of thanks in this manner was not enough to show the high gense which the Paliament of the country owed for the services of these devoted men, but that at an early day the formal thanks of both Houses would be given them for their alacrity and for the fearles manner in which they had obeyed the.call and exposed their lives, â€"Their conduct proved that the defence of the country rested with the volunteers which had become the true military force upon which we would have to depend. He did not intend by this to disparage the u:!uhr soldiers. (Hear, hear.) They were a of force better suited to the habits and circumstances of this country, and less inimical to its. 'll'i'g:h and privilage, thian a standing army. next pu'gnph uhtedtotbup{nfi received by His Excelâ€" lency from the Lieut. General Commanding | and Admiral Sir James Hope, which, no doubt, these emenent officers bad been forward to render, but he could not help saying that there had _ been . circumstances in _ connectâ€" fon with the movements of the reâ€" | gular troops on the line of the Niagara river road which at the very least called for investigation. The Resolution then went on to refer to the action of the Governâ€" ment of the United States, and he had no hesiâ€" tation to say that so far as its recent action was concerned, it had been of a very decided ‘and effective character, and he hoped it would be persevered in. The next subject was an allusion to the ;unt :cfih-h’t‘.l;on for authorâ€" izing the sus on of the habeas corpus Ac in which he ?\:uy concurred. We then eu'nz to the uz‘lon of all the British North Ameriâ€" can Provinces. ‘There nee;ned to be a good prospect of a speedy completion of this great measure, and he hoped that during this sesâ€" sion the schemes for the constitution of the local Governments in Canada would be subâ€" mitted. This would then be the last session of the Parliament of Canada, and it might with truth be said that notwithstanding all the difficulties we had to contend with, the counâ€" try had made very great progress, and had beâ€" lomlthl.htmem(ot the future, if wise counsels prevailed and too great extravagunce was not indulged in. If economy were pracâ€" ticed, and the same wisdom which had been generally evinced in the past continued to distinguish the management of public aff«irs, we shall have reasonable hopes that the future would not be less satisfactory. Though Canaâ€" da might be merged in the Confederation of | British North America we would have reminisâ€" censes affording us an alloyed pleasure, He trusted that the results of Confederation would | be such as to justify the most sanguine hopes entertained by its advocates, and he would be | sincerely glad to find it so.. (Hear, hear.) He | would now move the adoption of the Resolu, ‘tion. 4 Hon. Mr. ARMAND saidâ€"called upon by the advisers of the Representative of our Graâ€" cious Queen, to second the Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne should enâ€" deavor to fulfil that duty, but in so grave a matter he aoli‘t.:.i‘t:d;“i;mnlgenco for one not very much, acc to take in public Afl:{n. %‘?n’jdad at the lplcnztnl.nd gngni- ficence ofthe buildings which are the theatre of their deliberations, and that, too, for the last time, the last session of the eighth Parâ€" liament, and also the last session of the final {urlhmentof United Canada. He congratuâ€" ated the Government on the promptness with which they were about to carry out the suggestions of the Colonial Ministers with reâ€" gard to the Union of British North America, and he had no doubt that the Ministry would obtain the support of the House in taking such measures as were necessary to make up to commerce for the abrogation of the Treaty of Reciprocity. In view of the violation of our territory, by the invasion of a horde of vandals, he was happy to find that the Government had not forgotten the adage, ©" 8i vis pacem, para bellum." Our voluntecrs, in concert with Her Majesty‘s regular troops, had acted most nobly in repelling the enemy. The Queen‘s Own, it is true, had exhibited the impetuosity of the French soldier rather than the steady coolâ€" ness of the English soldier, but had, nevertheâ€" less, done well and deserve all praise. The country felt more than ordinarily thankful, as the Governor in his Speech expressed it, for the ready coâ€"operation os His Excellency the Commander of the Forcés, and Admiral Sir James Hope, both giving evidence that they fully comprehend the idea of the poet who says that, © Mourir pour la patrie est le sort le plus beau, le plus digne denvie." After such valiant conduct, and such noble examples, the voice ofthe historian will engrave on their tombs this epitaph ; © Ciget les devoues defenâ€" seurs de leunc{aayq." It afforded great pleasure t> learn the determination of the Government to carry out the philanthropic recommxi:- tion of His Excellency the Governor General, to come to the aid of those whose protectors had perished, and to the aid of those suffering from wounds received in battle. He next reâ€" ferred to the Proclamation of the successor at Washington of the " martyr Lincoln" in the highest terms of praisc, saying that for their firmmness and energy their names would be coupled by posterity with that of the immortal Washington. _ Yes, continued Mr. Armand, * nows devons nous rassurer, lorsque nous voyons pour executer ceite proclamation, deux generauzx tels que Meade et (irant, denx des gloires militaires de Puigle Americain." He spoke bitterly of the Fenian attack, contrasting them with the folâ€" lowers of the «immortal O‘Connell," adding that brutal violence could never redress the griefs of their unfortunate country, but rather in making use of the fine privileges of the British Constitution, that of petition. This was what was recommended to them by one of their great men, in an immmense assembly recently held at Montreal, and in which he, for one, would make it his duty to participate. I can tell that illustrious patriot, that he would not be the only one of his coâ€"citizens in such a crusade. The two measures which the Governâ€" ment proposed at the opening of the session were worthy of its high position, and shows a proper sense of | its duty. As to the Code . of Civil Procedure which specially concerns the magistracy we owe the initiation of it to an eminent. statesâ€" man, who conceived the design and caused it to be executed, as well as to the learned judges consulted, who devoted to this great work their science and their time. The government will no doubt hasten to place before Parliaâ€" tcnt a statement of the accounts for the curâ€" nt year, and the estimates for the following. That which especially pleases us, is that the revenue of the year is equal to the immense unforseen expenses of the military service. It only remained to glance at the last paragraph of the address, and with perfect sincerity he was happy to learn from His &xcellency‘s disâ€" course that the inhabitants of the Provinces of British North America had at last underâ€" stood that the time had arrived when they should ‘legislate under the same roof, under the protection, under the shadow and under the folds of the glorious British flag, of that banner which marches at the head of civilisaâ€" tion, which is and which will be the security of the people; so long as it remains in alliance with that of France. He did not fear yet again to make himself the organ of his conpatriots, and to declare in view of Confedcration, that so long as the. mother country was faithful to her sworn faith, so long as the noble English, the brave Scotch, and the sons of beautiful and green Erin respect our institutions, our languâ€" age and our laws, we shall desire to live and die subjects of noble Albion, or until she judges proper to emancipate us, in order to gm of her vast possessions in British North America an ¢xtensive and magnificent empire in alliâ€" ance with, and devoted to hersclf, where she will come to scttle any differences sh¢ may have with other countries of the New World. It is my conviction that with God‘s help, and opening easy comunication with our brethren of the colonies, sisters as Mentor said : to Teleâ€" machns, "the more numerous and the more easy the internal communications of the peoâ€" ple, the more certain the presage of that peoâ€" ples‘ prosperity," I am convinced that a little more lel[:enhl and q little more moral courâ€" age, and a little more virtue, we shall go on ‘peacefully and prosperously with our intelliâ€" gent and industrious neighbors, who until recently, as was judlclous:! observed by Mr. Guizot, seemed to grow and to expand as they traversed the . ages and advanced towards posâ€" terity. (@ Hon. D. MeDONALDâ€"A certain amount of vagueness, both in the speech of His Excelâ€" lency and in the debate thereupon seems to have been unavoidable in the circumstances under which Parliament has been convened. An expectation has prevailed that this session will be the last of the Canadian Legislature as at present constituted, and I think that the Government has been justified in delaying our meeting with the view of being able, if possiâ€" ble, to prm:ht.he question of confederation for definite ang final action. The remarkable progress which the question has made since we separated warranted a belief that this the critical d as I hope the triumphantâ€" stage, will not be long delayed. Mcanwhile, however, the ical and everâ€"present quesâ€" tion of money; demands attention ; and it is creditable to ministers that they have resolved not to defer the great matter of tEe supplies, or, under any| pretext, to incur nditure without the vious sanction of parliament. This amounts #to no more than the observance of a constitutional duty,.I admit, but reâ€" membering low often it has been disâ€" regarded, I not disposed to withhold from them t!::nfull meed of commendation. Of course ur expenditure connected with the defence 6t the Province have formed an exception to the rule, but I am sure that not a single mian can be found who does not feel, not only that this extra and unforescen outlay has begn incurred wisely and well, but that the Government would have been crimiâ€" nally culpablé had the ‘vigor of el:jmonures been restrained by any niggardliness in regard to money. en the peace and wellâ€"being of the country are jeopardised by organized rufâ€" fianism, the question of cost, as an clement in the‘ question of ‘defence, sinks into insignifiâ€" cance. The boldest and most effective meaâ€" sures of ‘deferice become the cheapest. And certainly my opinion is that the measures adopted by His Excellency, under the advice of his Ministers, to meet the threatened Feniâ€" an attack were well considered, and undoubtâ€" «dly they served a very useful purpose. And the preparation was needed. Fenianism has committed the folly of an arimed invasion of our soilâ€"but the allâ€"prevailing patriotism of the Canadian people has been made manifest. Their universal readiness to dare and to do in defence of the fiag has been established bg- yond cavil; and the circumstance cannot fail to strengthen the influence of the Province in the parent country, and to increase our hold upon the respect of our neighbors. . During the last three months we have shown our fitness for the high responsibilities of the incipient stage of nationality upon which we hope soon to enter. ‘The result is the more important because occurring simultaneously with the termination of the Reciprocity Treaty, upon the continuance of which our loyalty has in sorae quarters been supposed to depend. That delusion has been thorougbly and I trust torâ€" ever dispelled. We should have been glad to have a continuance of the treaty with its obâ€" vious advantages, but the people of Canada are not prepared to barter their allegiance as the price of it. At the same time I highly apâ€" prove of the efforts made by our Government in conjunction with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, to secure a renewal of the treaty. I am not prepared to commit myself to the proposition made by the Provincial represenâ€" tatives to the Congressional Committee of Ways and Means. Indeed, I think that some of the concessions which were tendered are beâ€" youd what our people would just now be preâ€" pared to sanction. Of these particulars how» ever it is not necessary to speak, since _ they . eventuated _ in _ notliing. Apart from differences of opinion as to certain of the terms offered, 1 am disposed to look with satisfaction, not unmingled with pride, at the ability with which the Provinces were represented at Washington. It is imâ€" possible to peruse the report of the conferences held by the delegates with the Committee of the House of Representatives, without feeling that in respect of information, soundness , of principle, and practical ability, our Minister of Finance appears to great advantage as comâ€" pared with Mr., Morrill. Nor do I regard the mission as altogether a failure. For thoughl» destitute of â€" immediate results, it may be said to have prepared the way for another, and I hope not distant arrangement. ‘The great obstacle, as I understand it has hitherto been the want of knowledge in regard to, and the want of interest in the subject on the part of the Americans. Few amongst them scemedl to understand the extent and value of their trade with the Provinces, or to be willing to mall\} an effort for its continuance. Asa conâ€" sequence of this fact, the opponents of the treaty have had everything their own way ; their misrepresentations‘ have passed uncorâ€" rected; and temporarily, at least, their efforts to prevent a renewal of Reciprocity have <been successful. .But since the visit of the Finance Minister and Postmaster General to‘ Washington, and especially since the publication of* their conferâ€" ences with the Ways and Means Commitâ€" tee, I have noticed a morked change in the ton: of the American Press. The importâ€" ance of the Provincial trade begins to be apâ€" preciated; the inconveniences which mufll arise: from the want of a treaty are acknowledged ; and so far as I can judge there is a growing disposition to bring ‘ about another arrangement, of a morecomâ€". ~prehensive character than that which has reâ€". cently terminated. I trust, therefore, that we . shall bye and bye, hear of a renewal of negotiaâ€" tions, on a basis that will command the apâ€" proval of both countries. Pending such an arrangement, it behoves us to consider careâ€" fully what measures Canada shall take in conâ€" sequence of the abrogation of the treaty. My own judgment is in favor of a liberal and friendly policy. I would reject as ignoble and impolitic everything like retalliation. Let Mr. Morrill and his friends adhere to their Jaâ€" panese policy if they choose. Be it our task, as it is assuredly our interest, to dis. card . restrictions, . to _ repudiate monopoâ€" lies, and to reduce our customs‘ duties to the lowest level compatible with the reâ€" venue _ requirements â€" of the _ Province.â€" Even as to the fisheries I would be conciliâ€" atory, rather than rigidly exclusive ; convinced as I am that the completion of another comâ€" mercial arrangement with the United States will be hastened or retarded, according as matters, may be temporarily disposed of in relation to the fisheries,. Under this impresâ€" sion I have noticed with pleasure the stateâ€" ment of Mr. Layard in the House of Commons as to the negotiations going on between the British and American Governments; and my sinâ€" cer»desire is that an amicable settlement may be eflected in ‘time to preveat trouble in the fishâ€" ing grounds, Whatever be the ultimate issue of the reciprocity question in general, and the fishery question in particular, 1 shall await with a great deal of interest the complete report of the inquirics and suggesâ€" tions of the Commission which, under the Chairmanship of the Hon. the Provincial Secretary, have visited the West Indies with‘ the view of extending our direct trade, both as to imports and exports. Emergâ€" ing, as these Provinces soon will, from the condition of isolation and weakness, and aspirâ€" ing, as they do, to a Confederation which, while recognizing the gracious sovereignty of Victoria, shall stand before the world eonfit{ent in the strength of its own resources, and with the territorial extent and unity that . are recognized as sources of power, our duty is to opeir fresh channels of trade, and so to ramify our markets that we shall not be dependent upon the caprice or the fortune of auy single customer.. 1 shall be disappointed if the popular anticipations excited by the appointâ€" ment of the Commission, and the ability and experience of its members, be not verified ; for in the success of its Jabors I think I: see guarantees of a bright commercial future, The members returned to the House, and ‘the SPEAKER took the Chair at four o‘clock.
