Canadian of every re'tiloa and creed.He claimed the wight to think for bimself and was ready to grant it to others.He ead the abtolute independence of the bumain copscience was the distioguishiog characteristic of Protestantism and as & mere system was ita chiefest glory.Foraiman to call himself a Protestant sod then try totrample nn the rights of others was à glaring contradiction.Tae Al-

Bishop of Montreal he sald that f men acted oo {t there was no room for private judgment, sud sn honest differences of opivivn became an Impossibility, No civil restraint ought to be put on any man om acount of bis religion so long as it did not interfere with the rights of others; the moment ft did that fl ought tobe checked.In snswerto those who declare that the Alliance was not nassded, and that Protestants had no ground of com: plaint, the speaker altuded to affairs at Ue.If we rat quietly by spd held our peace wa did notdessive the name of Britons and becams partoers Jn the guilt of the

the Bible snd its Common School system.Taen followed a sharply drawn contrast betwcee O 1- tario and Quehec,and hecharged home on Ryman Catboliclsm the backward state of the later.A high compliment was pail to the Freach- Canadians, but they had not a fair chance.He deprecated the Ides of the North-Wes* gettioz into the bands of tbe RKomieb blerarchr, and frem the history of Italy and Spain polated out what we might expect {7 it did, If envy chnrel wanted to do 88 tre Church of Rome did he would «fer the same opposition, No clergy should ty ranolne over him.This country was free, let it
