A very small part ot it, indeed, was addressed against the policy ol the present Government.He seemed, however, to have found it necessary, once and again, to express his regret, at having assailed hon.members on his own side of the House.He regretted that he should ever have spoken harshly ol these hon.gentlemen, and he regretted that they should ever have spoken harshly of him, and he denied that he had ever made himself obnoxious to one section of the country.One would have supposed that all the speeches that hon.gentlemen have listened to in this House, and all the articles in the journal which, if not written by the hon.member for Toronto, is at least under his control\u2014 they must have supposed that the hon.gentleman was the most ill-used man in the country __that his opinions had been misrepresented\u2014 that he was regarded as a bugbear in Lower Canada\u2014while, if he had not been misrepresented he should have been looked upon as the saviour of their institutions.(Hear, hear.) The hon.junior member for Montreal must have erred in characterising him as the most vi oient member of the House.Mr.MoGEE\u2014I beg the hon.gentleman\u2019s pardon, I did not say anything of the kind.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014The hon.member said he selected Mr.Brown, in order with his assistance to heal the religious differences that divided the country.The hon.member also stated that his security against Mr.Brown\u2019s acting contrary to the way in which he (Mr.McGee! wished him to act was the other hon.gentlemen from Lower Canada who were associated with Mr.Brown in his Administration.But it was strange thing to find thete two gentlemen representing the most extreme views of .Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, standing up in this House and lay-down principles for the healing of those differences which had prevailed- \u201e If the hon.member for Toronto had not written, or caused to be written, the strongest appeal upon Protestantism that could be made to the feelings of Upper Canada, he [Mr.Galt] was bound to say ' mat iMliÿtKTrrfjeeJUog.aud hostility wouldnot ____________-A-s.LLgion ir ttieir politicsÏ HScfit be'ih the hon.Attornvif General West?Had ' Reviver mixed up religion in their speeches in I CHRISTMAS AND HEW YEAR, First Prize Exhibition for takes and Confectioaery, J.A^TOMY, 33 GREAT ST.JAMES STREET, RETURNS his thanks to the Montreal Public for their patronage since he has opened business, and now begs to inform them that he is receiving daily from New York An Endless variet / of every Article in hi Line.comprising Confectionery of every description, CORNUCAPIAS, FANCY JOUJOUX, &c., suitable for presents for the coming Holidays.The public will please take notice that Mr.Antony will give his personal attention to all orders intrusted to him, and will be executed carefully, promptly and on the shortest possible notice.Particular attention will be given to all orders for Balls and Private Parties.The public are politely requested to inspect his Stock before purchasing elsewhere.November 27.\t282 PROSSER\u2019S PATENT ORIGINAL LAP-WELDED IRON and STEEL BOILER TUBES, Safe from end to end.A full supply in Bond and Afloat.Paris Patent Enamelled Iron Pipes and Pumps, for water supply, acids, &c.\u2014Sole Importers.PROSSER\u2019S PATENT Surface Condensers, for High-Pressure Steam, with Sea or other Bad Boiler Water.Gauges, 3-Cutter Drills, Countersinks, Tube-end Cutting Bars, Expanders, Tube Scalers, Steel Wire and ?Whalebone Brushes, Pall Lever Wrenches, Tubes, Plain or Enamelled, Screwed together for Artesian Wells, Steel for Rollers.THOMAS PROSSER & SON, 28 Platt Street, New York.January 7.\t5 IW STATIONERY.T 91HE Subscribers are receiving per Steam-JL ship NOVA-SGOTIAN, CITY OF QUEBEC, and other Ships now in port, a Choice and Extensive Assortment of STAPLE and FANCY STATIONERY, bought in the best Markets of Europe and priced low.Wrapping Papers of an improved quality, and a large Stock of Canadian Manufactured Writing Papers at reduced prices.Printing Paper, of any size and weight, made to order on the shortest notice.CHALMERS & ROBERTSON, 224 St.Paul Street.October 7.\t238 G STORAGE.and OELLERAGE, in Bond or Free.'

that he had abandoned bis religious faitb in his desire to promote harmony and good feeling amongst the different classes of the community ?He \u2014Mr.Galt\u2014had said the whole House must have been satisfied that the speech of the hon.gentleman was really an apology for his past conduct.He occupied at least the greater part of it in giving a ihistory of the politics and policy of the country for the past few years.He took about two hours to this part ot his speech, and when he did come to the policy of the Brown-Dorion Administration he thought the hon.gentleman failed to convey to the House what that policy was.He had had one entire day\u2019s conversation with the hon.member for Montreal, and the difficulties which existed between them had been presented with tolerable plainness.But it did not appear that the other members of the Cabinet were consulted at all in regard to the difficulties.\u2014Hear, hear.\u2014He \u2014Mr.Galt\u2014took it for granted that they were, and that they all intended to grapple, but what was to be the result of the grapple between the hon.member for Toronto and the hon.member for Cornwall he did not know.In the history which the hon.gentleman gave of the past politics of the country, he adverted to the past coalition.He\u2014Mr.Galt\u2014opposed that coalition as well as the hon.member for Toronto.But it was perfectly well understood that certain gentlemen of the Conservative party went into that Government with the perfect understanding that the policy of the Government would not be changed.He would like to ask If that was the case with a coalition that that hon.gentleman had formed, because he considered that it was the coalition between the hon.member for Toronto and the hon.member for Cornwall, representing totally different opinions upon the question of Representation by Population.The House was told that they had no difference upon this question, and that they intended to make such mutual concessions as would enable them to bring such a measure as would satisfy the country, and also on the subject of Separate Schools.He would not detain the House on that question which had been so frequently alluded to already during the debate.But it was evident the Brown-Dorion policy on the Separate Schools was a waiting policy ; it was a do-nothing policy.The hon.gentleman commenced his speech as usual with a violent\u2014he was not prepared to say an offensive\u2014attack upon the present Government, and upon himself (Mr.Galt) particularly as occupying the position of Financial Minister ot the country.He commenced by stating that the policy of the present Governmeut was not that of grappling with the present difficulties before the country\u2014in fact that we had no policy on that subject.He stated that the Government held office only by a system of bribery and corruption.He characterized the speech which his Excellency had made as a bribe\u2014and yet it was a strange thing to consider that in that speech the Ministry had staked their existence upon what appeared to that hon.gentlemen as the most unpopular question in the country.[Hear, hear.] He said the speech said nothing about the great questions of the day.But he (Mr.Galt) thought there was theusual notice of these matters in the speech.The hon.gentleman said there was not a word about the mission to England, but he [Mr.Galt] thought there had been laid cn the table already certain papers in connexion with that subject.That bad been done to meet the wishes of hon.members\u2014and yet after having brought down these papers to mnet their wishes, they were reproached because they had not sent down more.The hon.gentleman, in making the amende honorable to those of his colleagues with whom he had formerly had differences, thought it necessary to take the present Governor of Barbadoes under his wing.He desired to exonerate that hon.gentleman from the heavy charge brought upon the country by his policy.He said if the policy of that hon.gentlemen had been carried out iu reference to the Grand Trunk Railway, the burden in connection with that work would not have been brought upon the country.Was he not aware that the act giving aid to the Grand Trunk was passed by Mr.Hincks ?He was not going to sav anything about the present Government, as being an entirely new one, and not therefore responsible for any of these matters.He was willing to accept the charge as if the present Government had been that which took office at the time of the coalition.The policy which the Frovinces originally adopted with reference to railways was to guarantee half the cost of their construction if over 75 miles in length.That policy was afterwards altered and the guarantee limited to the Main Trunk Line.That policy was again altered and a grant ot A3,000 a mile made to the Grand Trunk, and the whole of the subsequent aid guaranteed by the Government was £900,000.Hon.gentlemen will remember the change which took place in the money market owing to the Russian war, which rendered that assistance necessary\u2014and it is well known that but for that assistance the Company would have been obliged to suspend their operations, as every railway company in England and the United States had done, and the assistance given them by this country proved to be not more than necessary to carry them through.He would contend that it was a matter for which the Government were entitled to credit for tbeway in which they carried this work through.The Province was previously liable for the whole amount except the £900,000 which was granted in 1854.Mr.BROWN\u2014No, no.When the present Government came into office $11,500,000 had not been expended.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014The hon gentleman knows that the pledge oftheProvince was given for the sum he had named, and the whole additional liabilities has been £900,000 ; and it cannot be shown that there was a sixpence additional given to the Grand Trunk.And what had that Company carried out ?Look at the Victoria Bridge, that work was not contemplated in the original work to which the Provincial assistance was given.And was it nothing that the line should be carried through the Province.He thought the hon.gentleman\u2019s constituents would gain by the line being carried from Tor-oronto to Sarnia.He thought the public at large believed that it was of the greatest importance to all sections of the country that they should have an uncontrolled line from Detroit to the Ocean at Quebec, and also to the ocean at Portland.The hon.gentlemen said if the expenditure had been confined to the Grand Trunk proper the Province would not have been subjected to so heavy a charge.If the hon.gentlemen would look into the matter he would find that it had been confined to the Grand Trunk proper.Under .the act giving the guarantee of the Province the St.Lawrence and Atlantic Railway Company were entitled to get half the cost of their road,\u2014and he would affirm that they never got the whole amount to which they were entitled.£460,000 was the whole amount they had received.He (Mr.Galt) did not intend to take up the time of the House at present with this subject.He was, however, prepared to show that the policy which has so much increased the debt of the country, had its origin before 1854\u2014both in regard to railroads and to the Municipal Loan Fund.The hon.member for Toronto charges,the Governmentwith thepresent distress of thecoun-try, and certainly it was the most remarkable charge_evermade against anyGovernment inthis world.He seemed to think that the Government was responsible for the agricultural distress, and for the commercial depression which unfortunately existed at the present time.Does any hon.member suppose that the Government ought to be charged with the distressed state of the agricultural districts ?It is a matter certainly which the Government feel as deeply for as the hon.member for Toronto can do.The state of the country occupies quite as much of their attention as it does that of the hon.member for Toronto.But they would not admit that the acts of Providence could be charged upon man.All they could do was to bring forward such remedies as they thought would meet the case, and they would do so at the first opportunity.The hon.gentleman charged the Governmentwith the increased expenses of living in the country.This was a remarkable charge, and one which the hon.gentleman himself had no faith in\u2014because he said in the same breath that it was the large expenditure of money iu the country which had superinduced that expensive style of living.\u2014 It would have been much more correct to have said\u2014That the Government, unable to control that spirit of speculation which had unfortunately been so rife in Toronto and in Western Canada, a great amount of distress had resulted therefrom.He never expected that the Government would be charged with a matter so entirely beyond their control.Then, they were told tnat the enormous taxation of the country has brought it into its present depressed state.[Hear, hear.] He was surprised that the hon.gentleman should have ventured to make such a statement; He [Mr.Galt] would presently show how far the hon.gentleman\u2019s statements upon this subject are correct.The hon.gentleman, when he indulged in those finely rounded periods to which their attention was directed, had spoken without reference to the means of information within his reach.It is high time the country should be made aware that its industry and energies have not been wasted and squandered in the way in which \u2018 .y - would have people to be- .'e saJ3 tù - country had been swept of thnng\u201eh,In.v.10 pay the ta!tes- 116 fMr.Galt] non.giJP.SJSâse was en t.irelv different.The the country had been swept of every bushel of grain to pay its taxes.Mr.BROWN\u2014Of every bushel of grain-Oh! oh I The hon.gentleman said that the policy of the Government was a system of borrowing\u2014that the Government had gone on recklessly, using the resources of the country and squandering the means of the industrious inhabitants, and that when they failed to obtain these from the inhabitants they went to the London market to borrow.He [Mr.Galt] agreed with the hon.gentleman, that it was time the system of borrowing should stop, but he could by no means agree with him in the opinion that the country could, without it, have passed through such an unexpected crisis as it had done from failures and other causes, and at once have brought down its expenditure.It was impossible, and there was not an instance of auy other Government having done so, not even England.He asserted, however, that it would no longer be necessary, if the House assented to the measures which it was the intention of the Government to bring before them.The hon.gentleman adverted in his speech to the deficit in the year 1857, which he represented as three million and a half of dollars.This statement corresponded exactly with one which he made at public dinner in Montreal, and which there was reason to believe, formed the basis of an article which appeared in the London Economist.As statements made by the hon gentleman received so much attention by certain newspapers, he [Mr.Galt] thought he ought to be very careful that the figures which he made use of were correct.He could at all times have access to the recordsof the true state of the finances of the country, and although their publication might at some time be inopportune, the injury resulting from the inopportune publication would not be so great as the publication of statements which were materially incorrect, especially at a time when the country is suffering from financial pressure.[Hear, hear.] He (Mr.Galt) would not trouble the House with a detailed statement of the finances of the Province, and he would take the hon.gentleman\u2019s statement that the deficiency did amount to three millions and a-half of dollars.But it must be borne in mind that in that deficit was included three half years\u2019 interest of loans to railways, the £160,000 to the Grand Trunk, and payments for special funds for which the Province was only trustee.This reduced the actual deficiency to £500,000 \u2014certainly a large one, but materially less than represented by the hon.gentleman.In the article in the Economist, a comparison was made between the years 1853 and 1857.The expenditure in the former year had been set down by the hon.gentleman at less than £1,040,000, and in the latter at £2,350,000.Now, in giving these figures, the bon.gentleman should, in common fairness, have shown whether the expenditure of 1853 was on the same basis with 1857\u2014 Mr.BROWN\u2014It was.Mr.GALT\u2014The hon.gentleman was incorrect.He (Mr.Galt) held in his hand an analysis of the expendituie of the two years There were a number of exceptional expenses in 1857.For example, the Legislation expenses in that year amounted to £129,000, while in 1853 they only footed up to £69,000, there being thus au increase in that item alone of £60,000.This was caused partly by the increase in the numbers of members and partly by payment to the members of the Upper House, and was made by the Legislature itself.There had been an advance of £40,000 to municipalities in 1857, on obligations for which the Province was not strictly liable.He (Mr.Galt) came now to the most important part of the hon.gentleman\u2019s [Mr.Brown\u2019s] statement\u2014one on which they had heard the changes rung during session after session and year after year\u2014namely, the enormous increase in^ the taxation, and the desire had been expressed to go back to the happy, happy times of 1852 or 1853, when the taxes were light aud the country prosperous.A statement which he had himself prepared from the trade and navi-gotion returns would set at rest the complaint of increasing taxation.It was well understood that the measure of taxation was in proportion to the value of the imports upon which Customs duties were levied.Now, the value of the importations of the country in: 1850 was £4,245,517, and the total amount of duty thereon was £615,645.The taxation for that year, consequently, was 14] per cent.In 185.1 the value of the imports was £5,358,697 ; the amount of duty £737,439 ; and per eentage of .taxation 13].In 1852 the value of the imports was £5,071,623 ; the amount of duty £739,263 ; and the per eentage of taxation 14|.In 185;3 the value of the imports was £7,995,359 : the amount of duty £1,028,676 ; aud the per cent-age of taxation 13.In 1854 the value ot the imports was £10,132,391 ; the amount of duty was £1,224,751 ; and the per eentage of taxation was 12.In 1855 the value of imports amounted to £9,021,542 ; the duty to £881,445; and the per eentage to 10.In 1856 the value of imports was £10,896,096; the amount of duty £1,127,220 ; and the per eentage was 10], In 1857 the value of imports was £9,857,649; the amount of duty £981,262 ; and the per eentage 10.Thus, the taxation had been reduced from 14] per cent, to 10 per cent.[Hear, hear.] While referring to this gradual reduction in the amount which was levied upon the importations of the country, he might not inappropriately ask whether the country had not benefit-ted very largely by the outlay which had taken place on the various public works in the country.Most assuredly it had.If therefore at this moment, the obligations which were contracted years ago had matured, and we had now to meet them, we could not with any justice complain.Mr.Brown then went on to say that if he had been advising his Excellency, he would have advised that the speech should commence by stating that the finances of the country are in a most impoverished condition, and that bankruptcy was staring us in the face.He [Mr.Galt] must confess that such a policy would certainly not have met with his approval.He was quite prepared to admit that there were financial difficulties, but he could not consent to advise his Excellency to use such remaks.We had our difficulties, and it became us to meet them like men.[Hear.] We we re not to set to work to decry the credit of the country, to injure and damage it, and make it impossible for this or any other Government to go on.[Hear.] Whatever might be the state of the country the Government ought never to indicate or to say to the public \u201cwe have lost ail hope in ourselves.\u201d (Hear, hear.) At the same time- that the hon.gentleman said the finances should have formed the whole burden of the speech, he accused the Government for not having enunciated an extensive policy on other points.These two remarks, he would observe, were contradictions.(Hear, hear.) He [Mr.Brown] had even read over a whole list of Mr.Gowan\u2019s bills, and asked why the Government had not spoken of any of those.Mr.GOWAN\u2014And he spoke of them as bills, while the fact was there was not a single bill among them.Mr.GALT thought he could safely leave that point of the subject in the hands of the hon.member for North Leeds.\u2014Hear, hear.\u2014 There was no doubt that the state of the country had received, and had merited, the serious consideration of the Government, and he was prepared to say that it would have been proper whenever an opportunity offered, to make such statements as he could, for the information of the House.But it would not have been expedient, after any of the violent speeches they had heard, to introduce the finances of the country, and so^complicate avery difficulty and important debate on the question of the Seat of Government.Perhaps explanations on the subject would more properly have been called for ou that paragraph in the speech iu reference to the necessity of retrenchment.He did not propose now to introduce the budget, and the hon.member for Toronto had been rather exacting, in asking at this period of the session for the whole financial policy of the Government.But he would make such general references to the policy the Government had adopted as seemed to be called for.\u2014Hear, hear.\u2014 There was no doubt, and it was much to be regretted that the expenditure for last year had been considerably in excess of income.The House and the country could hardly have expected any other result.The trade of the country had been embarrassed and limited, and the harvest had been bad, so that no hopes of a surplus could have been entertained.Hon.Mr.BROWN.\u2014Yet hopes were entertained by the Government.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014The hon.member for Renfrew had expressed a belief that there would be a revival, and he should shortly show that the statement had been borne out.[Hear, hear.] The causes of the heavy expenditure were tolerably well known to the House.Among them were the maturing of the indirect obligations which the Province had assumed towards railways and municipalities.(Hear.) These amounted to a sum in the neighborhood ot £500,000.It was not an uncommon thing in the case of individuals that obligations matured at the most inconvenient time, and these obligations had been greater in 1858 than in 1857.At the same time he would say that any Government having.proner^.nformation of the state of the country,ot mb cdtiircry, wottlS existed iu c.-'Y'11- - o municipalities whenever possible.' ft was not best that the public creditor should remain unpaid and proceedings be taken from one end of the country to the other, even though the Government had to make temporary advances to prevent it.\u2014Hear, hear.\u2014With regard now to the income, he need say but little.Beiug dependent mainly on the duties on imports, there must have been a falling off.The decrease in the early part of 1858 was most serious, and it might be both important and interesting to the House to have such information on this point as he could give.\u2014 Hear, hear.\u2014He held in his hand a comparative statement of articles imported and entered for consumption ia Canada during the years 1857 and 1858.It was as follows :\u2014 With regard to the public expenditure generally it is difficult at once to reduce it, but it was the intention of the Government to bring down a bill regarding the Militia, to make it self-supporting so far as it could be done consistently with efficiency.He would also say it was his purpose to bring the estimates at as early a day as possible, and he hoped they would be before the House shortly after the Public Accounts.He also hoped that the expense of Legislation would be reduced.The cost last year was over £160,000, and he thought the House would agree with him in the propriety of shortening the session as much as possible.The great item of the expenditure was after all tEe intere1Tir~oa thë piîliïïc~3~ebt, which amounted to over S3.000.000 exclusive lof liïê ejigagemento on\u2014hehalf of the Municipalities.Hon.Mr.BROWN asked if any debentures had been sold to meet the deficiency.^\u2014 -v Hon.Mr.GALT had not sold one single de-ibeuture.The public curred with the trade of the VVesT, yet to tins' nor, ohtainea it.vJ.EltherYur expenditure Ead view of obtaining the great moment we bad lendjj been thrown away oF Hè~sÏÏStHcni£kB a furthar sten in the matter.l|i~He did not say we should commence other Targe public works at present, but the opinion of reliable commercial and pro- extension of our fessionaP mail present works f t Imports iu 1857.Do.1858.Deficiency in 1858.$39,430,598 .29,078,527 .$10,252,071 Duty in 1857.$ 3,925,051 Do.1858.3,381,389 Deficiency.$ 543,662 he now instituted were as The comparisons follows ;\u2014 Total imports of 1857.$39,430,598 Imports first seven months 1857.24,039,956 Leaving as months 1857.imports last five .$15,390,942 Total imports in 1858.$29,078,527 Imports first seven months 1858.13,195,775 Leaving as months',1858.imports last five was tnat tne wàü q u Unnecessary.At pre-sent\"hè Wa3 not,\"however, prepared to say to what extent this should be done.But what-ever the policy of tbe country on this~subjectj might be a deficitTwouTtritTli appear, jtmLjrôti viàinn would have to be made TcTmeet jL.In his new tariff be would endeavour to do sôTj While be did not believe m borrowing money,' he thought that the present depression would not last long, for there were signs of improve-vement, and he would therefore have respect to them.The Government would leave certain duties on tea and sugar, but it was his intention to do so on a decreasing scale until they came down to a statistical point.He would now remark that while it was said the taxation was raised from 12] to 20 per cent., it was a fact that on several articles the taxes had been much reduced or altogether removed.\",He proposed to so arrange the tariff as to stimulate the in-[dustry of the country on articles which could |be manufactured in it.He would probably not be asked to go into details, nor would it be proper, for until the address was passed, the Government was not assured of having to deal with these things at all.At any rate, now with our railway improvements, he would take care that the trade of the country would not be subject to greater burdens than pressed upon it !jn 1852-53.He had indicated in general terms the commercial policy of the country, and he \u2022 would now reply to some remarks made by his hon.friend [Mr.Brown] last night.He had said the Government had avowed no policy on Federation.Now that same gentleman had said they had done wrong in acting on the subject\u2014then they must have had a policy.The course pursued had already been explained; but when the House was told that the policy of the Brown-Dorion Government was to meet the difficulties on certain great questions, he had not told the House how they proposed to deal with them.He [Mr.Galt] was asked the details of his policy on [Federation.But was Canada alone interested ?Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014Surely the Government have had a scheme of their own on the subject.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014Well, what would the Government have done with their scheme, if they had said we must have such and such things, for instance an elective Governor, and the other parties had objected, what then ?Hon.J.S.MACDONALD\u2014Suppose that there was a meeting of delegates, what would you propose?Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014If your object were to put difficulties in our own way and to stave off the question, they would of course have a very positive policy, and immediately an opposition would be commenced to it.He believed that wisdom would suggest that the question should be held in such a position as to make conference possible, and agreement probable.- .V- Hon.Mr.DRUMMOND\u2014Did the Government .wish to carry Federation by a dodge ?\u2014- or life'non.] gentfemën m tEe matter of dotfges, as shown in his going into the Brown-Dorion Administrations, would better qualify him for such achievements.The House might desire to have the subject discussed, if not let them move an amendment.Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014On the wished to understaed it.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014There was no other means of approaching the question but through the Imperial Government, as he and his friends had done, and if the Home Authorities had no objections then they might open communications with the other Colonies.As to the Intercolonial Railway the despatches on the subject would soon be laid before the House.Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014What had the delegates to England proposed to the Imperial Government ?Hon.Mr.GALT hardly thought that without the consent of the Imperial authorities, the private conversation on the subject should be published, j Mr.DUNBAR RO.SS wished,the hon.gentleman to say on what right they~proceeded to initiate such a subject Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014That question had already been answered, and the Government held they., were qui\u2019e authorised to proceed.They had at nil rvvr w w f rv\tU\t.\t-J \u2022 satisfactorily explained the position of the finan-ees, and shown that the statements published of our difficulties were incorrect.'.ÎThen, as to his policy on the Tariff, he considered it the right one.As to the vote on the Queen\u2019s decision, he said the vote of confidence in the Ministry after the adverse vote, had affirmed in part the Queen\u2019s decision, and the vote of want of confidence in the new Ministry hid atoned for the vote against Ottawa.It had often enough been shown that tbe House could not agree on a place, and a recent vote had shown we were not able to do it even now.The effect of repudiating our own acts could be looked at abroad divested of all explanations,and would do us incalculable harm / The amendment ot his hon.friend (Sicotte,)for' whom he had the highest respect, was unworthy of him, for thought it was almost harmless it was only calculated to create confusion.We had referred the puestion to the Queen by a good majority, and that vote was binding.We always depended on majorities, and in fact each member was here as the representative of a majority.The Opposition offered to that vota was merely in the interest of party\u2014he would almost say of faetion,Wd he did not know but ibat he would have been right.Grave accusations had been charged against our public men, and he (Buchanan) had endeavoured to examined them but be had found them destitute of foundation.He did not know a single Minister who had not come out poorer than when he went into office.In the despatch of the Colonial Secretary before the House, on the subject of the Queen\u2019s award, that high tunctionary expressed his surprise, but said be did not know what reason might have led to so strange decision.There was much delicacy\\in this language, but he (Bnchanau) thoug'B't the Governor might have answeradAhat there was no reason.' For his partTbe did not know ot one.It appeared to him that a resolution that men had heads would be as necessary as tbe principle stated in the amendment before the House, that the majority must rule\u2014a principle which no one assumed to deny.He had tried to see whether the interests of the country justified the rejection of the Queen\u2019s decision\u2014 but if facts had transpired to show that they did, it would have been easy to pass a resolution naming a better place, but no such course had been attempted, and he believe, therefore, that the interests of the coun\u2019ry did not warrant the course that had been pursued._ Mr.MORIN-pIn 1857, when he (Mr.Morin) was sent to parliament, he did not expect he would find all the institutions of the country in the most perfect working order ; ho expected some difficulties, but he did not expect such difficulties as were now agitating the House.He did not expect, however, to be called upon to assert so plain a principle as that of the amendment now proposed, which amendment, however, concealed a design other than that it enunciated.He regretted, with all who had the good of the country at heart, that such a system as the alternating system ot tbe Seat of Government should prevail, and he had hoped to see it abrogated.He had assisted to discuss the propriety of fixing a permanent seat, and he had been glad to see the subject treated, because he felt it was quite necessary to bring tbe removals to a close.He bad also aided in referring the question to an august arbiter, when it was found impossible to settle it in the Province.And he was bound to say that the whole country had full faith that the royal umpire chosen would act in good faith.The reference was sent and her Majesty had graciously accepted it.He betieved that tbe Legislature had done so in good faith.There had been warm discussions as if the question was of the utmost importance, and that all the members who took part in them believed the vote would be a finality.There was a perfect understand-ing that the public honoriwaiTengaged,land to when they asked them to reconsider their vote.If the Oppostion thought they might ask the Queen to reconsider her choice surely there was no lack of courtesy to ask them to reconsider their vote against our actual law.He hoped the member for St.Hyacinthe would reconsider his position and at any rate he trusted that the majority of the House would shew him that it was not acceptable.As to the position of the member for Dorcaetter, who had simply objected to Ottawa as an injudicious choice, he would say that that was not the question before the House.That hon.member had denied that the reference was not in the nature of an arbitration but that in choosing a place her Majesty, had simply exercised her prerogative.To this he (Mr.Morin) would answer that if we had asked her Majesty simply to exercise hfcr~prerogative, we wofiiid have heeij gunty'of a forgettuluesslof her undoubted right; to d_o^so without ojir inters ention.SYBuTfie'diifpot' îàsseQt\"that the Queen haT retired\u2019into a closet, and there, by herself, examined the subject, aud come to a decision without advice.On the contrary, he betieved she had taken the best counsel.) and after that had decided in accordance with\u2019 our prayer.The member for Montreal had satisfied himself with dealing with what he called \u201c the shufils,\u201d and in doing so had ignored the judgments of the Courts, which he (Mr.Morin) betieved to be deserving of perfect confidence.He would have done much better if be had informed us of his opinions respecting the relevancy of the amendment, aud of other matters of much more importance to the House to know than tbe shuffle, which everybody knew was no ahuffle, but a strict compliance with the law.[ The hon.member for Lapïaine, te contended\u2019 had not taken a proper course in giving even a glimpse of what bad occurred in the Cabinet.He had said the Cartier-Macdonald Ministry was formed on the principle of leaving the Seat of Government an open question.Hon.Mr.LURANGER explained that he had only quoted the declaration of policy made at the formation of the Ministry.Mr.MORIN continued to say he wondered the Hon.Mr.Siootte had ventured to say the Seat of Government question had been disposed of._ orte.J It was not so, or why would there nave been any need for the agreement that he should resign if it took a given direction ?Hon.Mr.SIOOTTE explained that the expression was that the quection sbou d \u201c tie over.\u201d Mr.MORIN said it was only to \u201c tie over\u201d for future consideration.It was evident that the question was not abandoned.[Morte.] The declaration of the hon.member himself proved that against him.He had no right to complain, nor had the hon.member for Laprairie any right to assert that the Government had changed their policy.The assertion pushed to its consequences, of course led to false impressions and conclusions.The hon.member for Laprairie had asserted lately, in a sentimental manner, that the French race would be in danger, its institutions liable to be overthrown, if Ottawa were chosen.If that were so, why had he not opposed that decision when be was iu the Governmeut.He, as well as the member for St.Hyaciuthe, had kept their positions iu a Government which supported the decision of the Queen, although they thought it would bring ruin to Lower Canada.(Hear.) The resignation of the Governmeut.as he understood it] was not grâëFôf obedience to the~will contrary, they make the matter more sure, a sum of £225,000 was voted to give the decision effect.Yet s^me members who had opposed the reference had seen it expedient to change their minds after it was passed, and assented to the money vote.It was, of course, understood at the time that only one city could be chosen, and of course those who voted yea felt that the vote bound them honorably to abide by it.Her Majesty chose Ottawa, and her choice was aunounced to tbe country ; yet soon after some persons who had aided to send the question home turned round and objected to the Queen\u2019s decision.Tbe sequel is known,\u2014a vote to reject Ottawa was carried, and the Ministry resigned or retired, thereby registering their solemn'protest against the action of 'he House.A new u; ana its rate was soon sea nvernmentpv.qg fnrmed, Jed.Then the Cartier of the majority ; it was a protest against their decision.1 (Hear.) ÏFhe was right in thinking so, the member for Laprairie was wrong, aud misunderstood the position be had taken.(Hear.) It was, at any rate, a curious position, for he had three times changed his opinions about it.(Hear.) Hon.Mr.LORANGER said he had never changed his opinions.He was now submitting to the will of the majority.But why had the hon.member changed his ?He hid voted inga be erected at Ottawa, let that contrai vecicst ha settled, and a strongiv fortifiedlnnil bsauti-fnlly ornamented city be formed, of which we might all be proud.(Hear, hear.) They might be sure that, unless they fixed the Seat of Government now at Ottawa, it would not be faxed anywhere.\\ Perhaps the buildings might not be built at once ; then, after accepting the decision from the Queen, she might be asked to reconsider it and choose another place for the beat of Government.This would be the course tor those to pursue who were in favor of Montreal, but the decision must be accepted firsthand a petition laid at the foot of the throne afterwards.(Cheers and c ies of \u201c que8tion.,,) Hon.Mr.LA.BERGE thought members need not be so impatient.After a ministerial speech of three hours and a half, he might at least be allowed to say something.He did not design to speak on the address.(LauRhter.) He bad Followed the hon.member for Terrebonne closely, but had been unable to find any argument in his speech.(Hear.) He should not give any explanation of his reasons for joining the late Brown-Dorion administration, nor any declaration of their policy, which had already been sufficiently explained, (Hear, and oh 1 oh !) The debate had turned almost entirely on subjects foreign to tbe speech ; for he saw nothing in the speech about the Brown-Dorioa ministry.(Laughter.) He had several times been on the point of raising a question of order on this account.(Hear, and laughter.) He would inform the House that the Brown-Dorion party had resigned, more was the pity for themselves and tbe country.(Laughter.) Yet all the government people attacked it.They ran a tilt at a ghost.(Hear, hear.) The Cartier-Macdonald Ministry occupied the treasury benches.It had been the Macdonald-Cartier Ministry yesterday, and might be the Macdonald-Cartier Ministry ag\u2019iin to-morrow.(Hear, hear.) He then ridiculed the speech of the member far Terrebonne.He had succeeded in making a three hours speech, but that was all; he had only said over again the arguments which had been so admirably discussed and disposed of by the member for Laprarie.As for his calling the decision an award, that wos absurd, for the reference to England bad the will of the minority, and, for an award tbe majority and minority must agree.(Hear, hear ) Passing thence to the recent occurrences, be asked how it was that Mr.Sicotte bad an opinion one way\u2014Messrs.Macdonald and Vankoughnet the other\u2014and tbe other member of tbe Government none at all ?When the Ministry agreed to write that declaration which had become so famous, they must have thought that the question of Federation would have a great deM to do with tbe Seat of Government question.Yet, now they were proposing to have Ottawa voted upon without ceremony, while they said the negotiations about confederation were going on.Even the ministers admitted that Ottawa was not the best place for tbe Seat of the Federal Government.(Hear, hear ) It would be best say to her Majesty that we knew we bad made a grave mistake in referring the question to her ; that we were embarassed because she bad chosen the worst place in Canada ; and that we therefore prayed her, in the name of all the saints and of sacred charity, to change her mind.(Hear, ^ad laughter.) The hon.Atto.ney General ad been in England.Nay, more, he had been to Windsor.He had no policy when he went away.He sought it, perhaps, at Windsor; or, perhaps, in the office of the Colonial Secretary when he came back he bad certainly found a policy.(Laughter.) His private opinion, he knew, was against Ottawa.Hon.Mr.CARTIER begged to explain.He had never voted against Ottawa ; he had always voted for either Montreal or Ottawa ; for Mon-treal in preference to Ottawa.But TÔFmâïïy reasons he preferred Ottawa.Jff\t~ \"TfrT LABERGE said this was rather contradictory, he, however, knew that the first of this pair of opinions was really that of the hon.Attorney General.(Hear, hear.) Why could not he have named Montreal when he \u201c declared his policy ?\u201d He would have met with less opposition.Ottawa was picturesque, poetic, and possessed all the qualities which enabled it to charm and excite the mind of the Attorney General East.It would be a great city some day.But this was not what he had to consider.He did not care very much, personally, where the Seat of Government was.It might be at Trois Pistoles or at Sarnia for aught be personally cared.But the proper mixture of races and religions 10 prevent either people\u2019s having too much influence ought to be looked at.(Hear, hear.) The English people knew little of this.Even the London Times said 11 Bytown, a place on Lake Ontario.\u201d (Laughter.) We had made a great error when we abdicated the right of governing ((( I! iy\\ .$15,882,752 There were thus less imports in the first seven months of 1858 than 1857.But in the last five months of 1858 there was a less importation than in the last five months of 1857 of only.8,157,204 2,194,867 Duty first seven months 1857.Do.\tDo.1858.2,401,328 1,758,573 Deficiency .$\t642,755 Duty last five months 1857.$ 1,523,723 Do.Do.1858.1,622,816 Surplus.$\t99,093 This showed tjtat the decrease in the imports of the last five\" iSonths of 1858 was but slightly unfavorable as compared with the corresponding period of 1857, while, as regards revenue, it was favorable.\u2014Hear, hear.\u2014There was consequently ground for hope that we had passed the period when our revenue would continue to decrease, and, as His Excellency had said, if we were blessed with a bountiful harvest, we might look forward at an early day to the revival of trade.\u2014Hear, hear.\u2014The statement for the first month of this year, January\u2014made up to within nine days of the present time\u2014was as follows ;\u2014 Duties collected for Jan., 1858_$69,420 Do.do.do.1856_____________115,049 There was a very large increase ; the amount was nearly double.[Hear, hear.] He hoped the House would pay attention to these statements , they should be generally known.[Hear, hear.] Hon.Mr.BROWN\u2014Will the hon.gentleman also give a statement of other items of revenue for the year ?Hon.Mr.GALT had not got them\u2014the public accounts were nearly ready, and he hoped to be able to lay them on the table within a week.[Hear, hear.] The policy of the Government every one would admit to be simple.It was to reduce the expenditure of the country to the lowest possible point, and at the same time develop as far as possible every branch of income, so as to bring the expenditure within the revenue, and be no longer at the mercy of the money market for means to meet our necessities.[Hear, hear.] His hon.friend the Premier had explained that it was the intention of the Government to institute thorough departmental reform.He begged to state that the policy was not one of words alone ; it bad been carried into action.[Hear.] The Government had kept it steadily in their thoughts.[Bear.] All possible retrenchment had.been effected, No new work had been proceeded with whenever it had been practicable to reduce outlay.It is impossible in four or five months to arrest everything going forward.Neither would it be wise.[Hear.] He might say, in reference to tbe department over which he had the honor to preside, ,that only one additional employee had been appointed in any of the Custom houses throughout the country.[Hear, hear.) Vacancies had occurred, bat they had been filled up from the department.[Hear.] The same was the case with the department of Crown Lands and Public Works.all events aisnmea the responsibility, and it would be for tbe House to say whether they had ]done wrong.With reference to the Hudson\u2019s Bay Territory, it would be found that owing to the Mission to England, Canada occupied a most favorable position.So far from having to encounter the opposition as welt of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company as of the British Governmenl, it would be found that the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company which might, by standing out upon its charter, have caused the greatest difficulties to this country, had taken up such a position as had produced unity of action between this country aud the home Government, and enabled us to recommend such a course of proceeding as would meet tbe hearty approval of the British Government.(Cheers.) He might state the Government had reason to infer that the exclusive right of trade possessed by the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company wonld be channelled on the first of May next.(Loud cheers.) He (Mr.Galt) would not detain the House but for a few minutes, while he referred to the question immediately under discussion.It had been asserted by members on the other side of the Honse, that the Government had no policy on this question until now, and that their policy was one that would not be benefic\u2019al to tbe country.It had been said that we should endanger onr right of self-government by pursuing that policy, and should again place ourselves under the shackles of Downing street.He (Mr.Galt) however, entertained no such opinion, he despatch of Sir E.B.Lytton, from which e quoted, showed very plainly that no fear need 'be entertained on that head, and tbe Colonial Secretary\u2019s despatch, on the subject of the Federal Union was in the same strain.To say tbatj because this House may chose to reconsider the vote of last year, cur right of self government was in danger, was to say that our liberties were held by so slight a thread that ihe were in dan-get.Putting aside all question of loyalty, and all the feelings of attachment to the throne, that were excited by the question upon the low ground \u2014that of mere self interest\u2014the decision of Her Majesty should not be parted from.At a time like this, when the country is obliged to depend upon its creditjabroad to prevent falljihto a state of the utmast embarrassment,Whatever may be the loss ofgoing to Ottawa or to Quebec it would be better to incur it four times over, than that lany blot should be placed upon our credit.) IjtCheers.j/iAsauming that the Imperial Govern-ment cared nothing whether the Queen\u2019s decision is rejected or not, when the people of England and the people all over the world.1 where the English language is spoken,Warn that the Legislature of Canada have so tittle stability as year after year to change their votes upon a qnertion tike this, and to reject an award upon a reference delibe:ately made, they may well doubt wheher they will abide by their other obligations.(Hear, hear ) We have to deal with the sensitiveness of others, no matter what our own sense of honor may be, and every one knows that credit does not consist in the ability to pay so much as in the disposition to pay.qHear, hear.) That it is which has made English securities the best in the world, and it is that which makes Canadian securities at this moment second only to them.( Applause.)\t\u2014.Hon.Mr.HARWOOD thought that in giving the decision, her Majesty bad been ill-advised.\u2014 He could scarcely believe that m expressing that opinion, he could be accused of disloyalty.To think that tbe credit of the country could be Ministry was formed, and tbe subjedt again comes up, when it is attempted to confirm tbe vote of rejection.It is now alleged that, thp gboice was not made by tbe Queen, hnt W the.Colonial Minister - This tbe^Ministry denvl Tbe vote of last session was'~a mere negative vote, but that he would look at by and by.In view of tbe vote of last session the new Ministiy were bound to have a positive policy on the subject of tbe Seat of Government.Had they promulgated one ?They had not.The present Ministry have announced such a policy, and it is to maintain tbe Queen\u2019s award.They maintain that the simple vote of the House of Assembly cannot set aside tbe actual law of the land confirmed by ihe Sovereign\u2019s own aeWand hence tbe present condition of the question.'\u201cThe member for St.Hyacinthe would not, however, assent to this, but in effect mentioned that the simple resolution of the House should override the law.True, he admitted that it was a most difficult subject, and everybody was of the same opinion.The Government, however, had a solemn duty to discharge, and that was to put an end to the alternating system, and they resolved to do so at all costs.They did so, not only because it was the Queen\u2019s decision, but because tbe alternating system was a most disastrous one to the interests of the country, and he betieved these very opinions Were once held by the member for Laparirie himself.There was, to be sure, a great difficulty to be met.An answer was to be sent to her Majesty as to whether her decision would be maintained.If we did not uphold it, we should make both onrseivea and her Majesty ridiculous'.in the eyes of all It,he world.; The Iposition bf the Government was cFurageffms, at least both sides of the House admitted it, and the Hon.Mr.Papineau, although in retirement, had ciused it to be expressed iu his opinion.(Hear.) The Upper House, too, bad given their pesition the support of their sanction.(Hear.) In face of the despatches received from Home, and the action of all parts received from home, and the action of all parlies here, it was evident that, if the House gave a vote in opposition to the desire *'l f» ft 1 againsirOTEawa last session, and had told him (Mr.Loranger) ia the office of Mr.TFavernay, at Montreal, apd agarnliTtblears, coming; up.that J^e would vote agaiPsTDt(Hear.) J-\\ \u2014 Mr.MORIN said Mr.Horanger was in error./ He had never expressed such an opinion.HBnf tKe membeFTor Laprairie had curiously altered, and, were it known, it would be found that other reasons than submission to the call of the majority had influenced him.He worshipped the rising sun, and had hie hopes excited by what might happen if the Government were defeated.The vote he was about to give was one for which he wonld not have cause hereafter to blush, although it had been intimated to him by the member for Laprairie that it might lead to his defeat in his County in the event of a general election ; but he could tell that hon.member that even if that were the resuit he would not regret having done what he considered a solemn of Her Maje3ty,~tïïèrë would be a 'ïïisôTuïïonYjr- dared Jay hia ExceirencvTH7/ HêàrT^ How could members fftin justify themselves\u2014the House would place itself in opposition to their authori-Ities,[and even to its own acts.\"ïbe member for Laprarie might argue the reverse, but he thought his Exftftllenfty WnnlH\tgrant a riiaanln- tiojjJLr the sake,of giaintaiQing the law.M(Hear, Hear.)

BoL^e must say that was his opinion.decidedl_yATHèâïr.heap I\u2014He-tbeff said that, if the choice of Otiawa were re- impaired by the action ÔTthe regresentatives of me people, in the direcrion tbey thought advts- a~ble for their interests, wns qmt.B nni.snable.He contended that Montreal was the place where' the trade of the West would centre, and not Ottawa as had been contended.He did not think that the argument in favor of Ottawa, in a mili-tarylp.oint of view,lwas of any value, as the Oa-uals\u2018would allow the passage of steamers from England to pass to the upper lakes.] He contended that the establishment of a Federal Union would bring back the troubles of the time that preceded the Union, with regard to tbe position of the Seat of Government.He thought it should be in the most convenient situation foi the general interest, and for these reasons he should vote as he did last year.1 Mr.BUCHANAN congratulated the House on 'the statement made by the Inspector General, who had conclusively shown that the deficiency only >£500,000.1 He had the revenue was jected, Quebec would lose immediately every chance of having the Seat of Government transferred thither.For, there was merely a promise of the Gorernment to that effect.And the moving thither would require a vote of money which must be proposed, first, by tbe Government.(Hear, hear.) So by voting against Ottawa they were, in reality, determined to stay at Toronto for an indefinite time.How would the members for Quebec tike that?It was necessary to have strong places Lin tbe intênÔF.I and to bave tEe Seat of Government in a place that could be protected.(Hear.) \\ ]]\t- /.Mr.PiCHE rose to a point of order] He (wanted to know why the hon.member, who had (voted against.Ottawa last year, was going to {vote for it this time?(Hear.)- Mr.MORIN would tell the hon.member, perhaps, sooner than he would tike.(He»r.) He would say he regretted to see the member for St.Hyacinthe occupy a position of hostility to the Administration., He did not think that the hon.member, in placing himself in opposition, had taken ail the strength, energy and reason there was in the party.(Hear.! It was not the regular Opposition which led the man to attack the Government.Tbe member for Berthier who had proposed a motion, had withdrawn it.The Opposition party dared not of themselves attack the fortress.They left that task to those who disdained and despised them, and refused to cooperate with them on any former occasion.The member for St.Hyacinthe had resigned with the Macdonald Administration and had returned to power with the Cartier Administration after giving a flat refusal to Mr.Dorion to form part of the Brown-Dorion Ministry.Well, he (Morin) thought that if that hon.member could not abide by the Queen\u2019s decision he should have refused to go back to office with those who did.But what action did that hon.member now propose to do?Why again to leave the matter of the Seat of Government in suspense, for that was in fact the direct intention of his amendment.The explanation given by that member was that be reserved to himself the right to resign in case his colleagues resolved to maintain the Queen\u2019s decision.Well, this was a strange course, for it was reserving the right to leave them at the most critical time.But did he mean by asserting the right of the majority that there was any attempt to set aside that right ?He thought that it might mean this, but it was true, nevertheless, that it was because the Ministry insisted upon being bound by tbe majority that the question of tbe Seat of Government was now on debate.The Government was, in fact, now asking the House whether they would persist in refusing as they had done last winter of honoring the law passed by the majority.Was the Ministry less consistent than the Opposition who neglected a law duty J ], So far as he could see, the vote wttich wonld be given against the Government would be dictated simply by a desire to expel tc.em from power, not by any good objection to their principles or their acts.And he wouid warn hon.members how they aided in expelling a governmeut for such reasons, for they might get another that would, perhaps,l.be no great improvement upon their predecessors.As to the vote he had given against the Queen's aeoiamn, ]».unexpeete?would say that it was a suaden and vote, aqd that he hâïïjoot had the time tocunsl-der the merits of the case (as his hon.friencTs fiom Ht.Hyacinthe and Laprairie, who, as members, bad

he betieved others did.TEe hon.member then commented upon the influence of tbe rejection of Her Majesty\u2019s decision in England.The despatch of the Colonial Secretary evidently showed that this act was regarded as a serious Blight.\\ He would now say that he did not regard ihe Ministry, as compared with tbe rights of the French Canadians ; not because he did not think three Englishmen as competent as three French Canadians, but it was a matter of honest pride to the race to be properly represented.However, he would not, for that reason, rush against the Ministry to defeat them, as he betieved the present composition of tbe Cabinet was rather a matter of accident than design.He believed it was the desire of the Ministry to alter this as soon as it could bi done with propriety

by a very bad cough, and a raising of blood, probably a quart or more.In addition to this, I sweat profusely at night, which induced me to apply to a physician, but received no permanent benefit.I then procured a bottle of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, which seemed to have the desired effect.I continued to use it, and my appetite, which had been very poor, returned, and with it my strength was restored.After taking four bottles I was completely cured, and have enjoyed good health ever since.DAVID R.BELL.The Editor of the North Carolinian cheerfully testifies to his knowledge of the
