ered that Mr. Saxomeinp Macpoxaro is about to give Mr. Doxaun Rosratsox, the Loeua! m<mier i+ Niegurm a contract on the Intercsomeal Rsiiway, 48 the price of bigretifement, and with mock gravity adds : # Out readers may ebtain un ideas of Tnz Globe 1s again in distress about old Nimgara. We are sorry for our confrere. This was the first constitwency about which the Globe prophemed at the commencement of the late electoral campaign, and then i; was "Niagara redeemed." It is. quite true that this redemption did not take place, but the Globe‘s concern for it« postponement was probably lost or forgotten for the time in the greater calamities which befell its friends in other constitnencies, which not only were not «* redeemed," but fell away from the fuith. Now, bowever, the case ot the old borough stirs the bile of our grumbling conâ€" Frere ; and for the reason that, as is now pretty well understood, the memberâ€"elect woutemplates resigning his position in favor ol the Commissioner of Crown Linds. The Globe has a very tunny way of settling the details of this arrangement. It has discovâ€" to deter; and so far, may be accepted as a proof of the soundness of Mr. Gaut‘s appreâ€" cintion of the present feeling of a section of the people in the West. * It 1a hardly worth while to reter to the viewsenunciated by Mr. Arsx. McKexziz on this particular subject. Though we recogâ€" nise his position as leader of the Ontatio Opposition, we do not hold him an authority on questions of finance and banking. His remarks in the House yesterday afternoon may, therefore, be appropriately considered as & mere confession ot hi« faith in the misâ€" apprehension to whick Mr, Gait has seen fit and was earnestly desirous of having done more, we think that all whose judgment is not warped by political prejudice will conâ€" «ede that the charge of Mr. Gaut‘s having been either directly or indirectly the cause of the failure of the Commercial Bank, is utterâ€" by groundless and indefensible. eerned in and intimately connected with the Commercial Banokâ€"that its failure arose in ao way from the financial policy of the (Govâ€" erament for which Mr. GaLrt has been mainâ€" ly held responsible. And when their testiâ€" mony to his efforts to avert the catastrophe has been supported by the unanimous declaration of the Directors of . the Bank, thanking him for his exertions to aave that institution, which the Hon. Mr. Hortrox explained was no empty com pliment, but a sincere expression of their conviction that he had done all in his power neving then, as a matter of fact, though not of justice, that his influence as a Minister of the Crown had been considerably lessened, Mr. Gatr haswithdrawn, in the faith that time and a full development of the facts conâ€" neeted with the suspension of the Commercial Bank will show the utterly groundless charâ€" acter of the prejudice that has been created. It must have been particularly gratifying to the late Minister of Finance to have heard the emphatic declarations of Messrs. Cartâ€" wareut and Mornisâ€"gentlemen largely conâ€" less matter for regret. Perhaps it may be thought by many that Mr. Gair has exagâ€" gerated the influence of the misapprenension which has been creatéed in the public mind, especially in the West, by misrepresentaâ€" tions, for party political purposes as to theâ€" cause« which led to the recent bank suspension. . But in this particular, unâ€" questionably Mr. Gart was, as to" his own duty under the circumstances, IM‘ best judge, and that he has so far deferred to the extent of that misapprehension, while feeling conscious of its unjustiiable cnarâ€" acter, is a concession to popular pre judice involving great personal sacrifice, without any compromise of principle. Beâ€" Tux explanations offered by Mr. Gait in the House yesterday afternoon, leave us litâ€" tle to add to the remarks we previously made when announcing his withdrawal from the Government. The step itself, ns we before said, was one sincerely to be regretted, and the reasons that led to it, though we can very well appreciate their force, ought to be no «haps, than the matter, we judge that Mr. Hows is already preparing to accept "*the ** logic of event=." Though he sapeaks now of his "country," and treats himselt as a foreigner in our midet, we do rot despair of his becoming naturalised before a very long time. Messrs. McKzeacver and MacpoxaLo, (Antiâ€" gonish), followed, but the interest in the deâ€" bate could hardly be kept up by any of the lesser‘ lights after the brilliant speeches of Mesars. Hows and Turres. The House adâ€" 1 journed at half past eleven o‘clock. referred, as was to have been o;pecm the wrongs which Nova Scotia has sn in the mode of carrying out the Union ; but ts manner â€"was certainly pleasing, and elicited general admirfition. Dr. Terrer followed in an cloquent address, in which he replied to Mr. Howx‘s argument=. The disâ€" tinguished abilities of these gentlemen will make them ornaments of the Canadian Parliament, and from the stylé, rather perâ€" haps, than the matter, we judge that Mr. The galleries were crowded in the evening to hear the leader of the Nora Scotia party. We shall say nothing now of the matter of Mr. Hows®‘s speech, the greater part of which Tusz proceedings in the House yesterday were ot considerable interest. The Hon. Mr. Fisues moved the Address in an able and arghmentative speech. Dr. Desirixiz®s seconded: the Address, Mr. Siwarn having declined the honor. The Ministerial exâ€" planations absorbed the remainder ‘of the aifternoon until nearly six o‘clock,. when the House rose, the Hon. Joerenm Hows having Foundâ€"J. T. & W. Pennock.

Nor, will the people of Niagara think it "blind," if by his returing he may be succeeded by the Commissioner of Crown Lands. It is quite probable, as the Globe represents it, that Mr. Ronsstsos may resign, and also that Mr. Rrcuar»s may be elected in his stead; but its talk about an Intercolonial contract is the veriest bosh, as the Globe scribe must have known when he penned it. But the @lobe has the beneiit ot the inner light upon the snbject, und «peaks, perhaps, from experience. ~ " Mr. Doxai» Ronegut "* sox," it says, i« ‘1:. far north‘ to make a #blind bargain." _ The Globe is quite an authonity on . the northern . aspect of the case, aml ought to be held to know <all about it.

Befure ‘proceeding to discuss the subject beâ€" fore the chair, Mr. Howe alladed to his own posiâ€"ion in connection with the leadership of the Opposition, saying that it would have been an act of great impertinence on his part to 1 «ve assumed the leadership of any body of men holding views with respect to Contedéâ€" ratica at cvariance with his own. It would also haye been inconsistent with his duty to his own country. No man in his country went to the hustings pledged to auy side ot any question in the politics of Canada, No man there concerned himsclf about the policy of the existing Canadian Government. He telt incapable of assuming leadership in a Bow s where two langnages were used, with, one of which he was not very familiar, He therefore felt with his peculiar views on Con{sderation that it was far better for him tota\e a position in the body of the House. No «ae from Nova Scotia had any side in the r.n ¢ politics of Canada, They had been egi. lated into the House against their wills.

He did not think that the bank» | ing scheme of last.

He had been in the pubâ€" lic pross, and he felt that public opinion in Ontasio to some extent held him responsible for thg losses which would fall upon â€" widows and orphans by that failure. Certainly it pointâ€" ed to him more directly than any one of his colle gues, In the fage of such public opinâ€" ion }.is usefuluess was marred, as he could not expect the same support from the representaâ€" tives of Ontario that he had hitherto beey acâ€" eorded, His remaining in office would have been a source of weakuness~ rather â€" than { strength to the Government. _ In order to show that the feeling had been caused by misâ€" apprehension and imisrepresentation, the hou» orable gentleman read a resolution passed at a meeting of the Dircctors of the Commerâ€" cial Dank, â€"thanking hiw for his zealous and pers: vering exertions to avert disaster â€" to that | insticution. ¢ l He believed that ‘the tgeling would pass | away before long, but he could not retain his position in an Executive Oiffice, for wifich the confi lence of the country was necessary, while | that fecling remained. 1 | THE OTTAWA [[IMEB, NOVEMBER s Onta for t and « ed to colle ion 1 expes tives eordc been stren show appro orabi a mes cial 1 persc instic ort t ie pe enc en e m * l Mr. Dorion, said in explanation of the :cccnt * resignations, that the Secretary of State for 1 | the Provinces, having failed to secure a seat , | had tenderted his resignation.

Again during the .[ Crimean war he went to the States as the _| confidential agent of the empire, and recruited ' for two months despite the activity of Rusâ€" t | sian agents, without compromising himself or his Government, He was in Washington : | again the Winter before last, and suggested . | to the British Minister the probable plans of â€" | the Fenians to seize the shipping on the sea. | board, and at his lumnt?on the British [ | squadron was ordered into Nova Scotia waters | three months earlier than‘ usual, so that the | Fenians _ were â€" frustrated _ in their â€"deâ€" | signs.

He did not believe thai | the people of Nova Scotia would ever be sa. | tisfied to submit to an act which had been | forced upon them by such unjust and unjastiâ€" | . linble imeans. What was the Union, but a | | mere Act of Parliament? _A mere Act of Parâ€" j l liament may fairly be criticised, and if bad 1 its repeal may be agitated for ; yet this Union |â€" Act had been spoken of as something against | , which it was treason to say a word. What | q had been all the great reforms effected in 1 England, buc the repeal of Acts of Parliament t and the substitution of others? His Excelâ€" | t | leney alludes to the freedom of arranging deâ€" | j ' tails which were left to the representatives of t the colonics: Why, he had read‘s thick voâ€" $ | lume of debates on this very question in the t Canadian Parliament, and not s line of detail t was altered or amended, _ It was then declared | t to ‘have been a treaty, and coul! not be 8 | amended or changed. 1t was never laid câ€"| q | fore the people of New ‘Brunswick, conseâ€" [} | quently no power was given in the arrangeâ€" | S | ment of details; it was never submitted to‘ the ' t | people of Nova Scotia. But he might be told | n | that the representatives ot the people, meanâ€" | o ing the delegates, had had the arrangement of | t details. On this point he would not speak | a for Canada or New Brunswick, but as for r Nova Scotia, the delegates did not represent | t I the people, but a Legislature which had lost q the r:pular confidence. ~He ‘might ask what | d would be the course in the neighboring Reâ€" | fe public, if one State atteinpted to annex | w anothier without the consent of,the people. | tr And turninx from the Republic to European | w examples, the Union Act between Engâ€" | n laud and _ Scotland had _ twen passed, | A elause by clause, by the Parliament ot’ fr Scotland, _ as well as ‘that of Eng» | 0( land, and so with the Union betweed Great p Britain and Ireland ; the Act had beén passed, | (1 though corruptly, by the Parliament of Ireâ€" {' land.

He hoped the Finance Minister would be able to show that the vast advantages his hon. friend had said_had flowed to Canada trom Nova Scotia were real, but he feared it wouldbe otherwise. He gave instances of sudden changes in Nova Scotia, in one of which his hon., friend, (Mr. Howe) with the power ot the Governâ€" ment at his back, was beaten in bhis own country by 700 majority.
