juetther bave how. mewbers, upon any previous occasion jwhich L cau recollect, thought it necessary, for the euforce- | ment of their arguments. or the illustration of their views, to ‘go three or four times over precisely the same grounds, | do not think that [ will fullow the example which has been }set me in that respect; but wil! enleavour to coufine mysell to & cons deration of the single question now legitimately be- ‘fore the Committee, which is the propriety of concurring in a |measure for appropriating the money arising from the sale of the o'd Burracks towards the expenditure incurred ip building tho:e at present occupied by the troops. Lt ie not ‘necessary that I should go iuto the que-tion concerning the | necessity and propriety, or otherwise, of sending for the troops; for that was fully debated yesterday, and the neces-

ation of the rise and progress of the organ zation called the Que newspaper, the organ of the League, declared that their uumbers amounted to eleven thousand; and another estimated the combivation at fourteen thousand; and, when the Government knew that the members of a League, so formidable as repected its nu-

time as their landlords should consent to sell them the fee-| simple of their farms at their own estimation of their value, | it was surely high time for them to consider by what means the assoviation could be brought within constitutional bounds. [ have never objected to my own constituents, or any other portion of our agricultural populativa, forming thease! ves in- to associations for the purpose of freeing themselves. by fair, hovorable, and legal means, from what they feel to be the heavy yoke of the leasehold tenure, or for endeavouring, by whatever i: fluence or pressure they can honestly bring to bear upon their representatives in the Legis'ature, to bring about a fair and equitable setilement of the Land Question. for the whole Island, Such associations, so formed, and so regulatiig their proceedings, were perfectly legal and con- stitutional ; but the moment they departed from the Jand- marks which indicated the bounds of individual rights, it be-

to resist the lawful demands of their landlords, that moment ‘it became their duty to take measures for the suppression of ‘the League, or at least, for the purpose of couviucing them lthat, by no means, save such as were within the pale of the ‘constitution and the laws, was 1t possible for them to effect ‘the great object of their associatiou—the conversion of their | leaseolds into freeholds. That very many whe were reckon- ‘ed among the members of the League had been forced into “it by threats uttered io a covert way, I have a-certaived by ‘eouversation with such individuals themselves. They would ‘not have been able, as they Lave told me themselves, to con- ‘sider themselves safe in their owo beds, unless they had ‘joined the League. Of the extent to which terrorism Was carried. the public in general bave, I believe, but a very in.- perfect idea, Many, very wany honest and worthy men were obliged to succumb to it, and outwardly to give their coun- ‘tenance to a system of illegality and di-honesry, the practive lot which was abborrent to their sense of truth and justice ; ‘and deeply, indeed, do [ regret the loss and trouble which it

tcr, on the score of unuecess-ry or Wasteful expenditure of public money, undertook to make proper enquiry and exami- uation throughout the city, for the purpose of Gnding, if possible, some building or buildings which could be evnvert- ed in'o temporary barracks, so that the Government

ovt be obliged to incur the great outlay which would be neces-ary for the erection of new barracks. The first building we thought of was the old Wesleyan Chapel ; but, vu application to ove of the Trustees of that property, we found they wou!d not be willing to let it for such a pu ; and it also appeared, oc cxamiaation of the building, dat could not bave been converte] into quarteas for the Troops, without undergoing such alterations aod repairs as would

have necessitated a much greater expensitare of than he Government would have been warranted in making for such a temporary purpose. We also thought of the Drill

Koom building; but nether could that, without ery con- siderable and expensive alterations, hare been made ‘to ao- -wer the parpose ; and besides the buildings being too small, we found that the proprietor would not be willing to have ‘t converted into brrracks, on ac-ount of the very serious derangement in bis private business aceommodations which ais giving it up for such a purpose would occasion. House accommodation, upon whatever scale, whether great or small, in Charlotretown, it is very well known, is, at present, aud has, for some time back, been far short of the ordinary requirements of the population; and, corsequently, our en- deavours to find ready built quarters. in it for the Troops were altogether fruitless. The troops, however, were, as [ have said before, in Prince Edward Island; and if there had been a necessity for bringing them, there was the same ‘or keeping them; and keep them we could not without providing them wuh proper winter quarters. This being the case. the Gouernment immediately caused the Superia- tendent of Public Works to draw out plans and specifica- tions for new Barracks, for the accommodation of a limited number of Troops, such a space to be allowed for each maa as Would, according to the latest mw litary rules and la- tions, afford him 600 cubie feet of air; and tenders for their erection were duly advertised for, ‘Two tenders were given in, at the office of the Colonial Secretary, indue time. By one of these, that of Mr. Lowe, the contract was offered io be taken for £5,800; by the other, that of Mr Alley, it was Offered to be taken for £3,500, The Governmert accepted the lower tender, that of Mr. Alley, although he was himself the Superiatendent of Public*Works; but

giving the contract to him instead of to Mr. Lowe, they -uved the difference betw en the amounts of the two tenders —no less a sum than £2.300. Atiempts have, indeed, been made outside to prove that Mr. Alley’s tender wae not sentan until after the expiration of the time limited for the receiving of tenders by the Government ; and seme hon. members of this House have, on tho e grounds, preferred @ charge, of what they are pleased to cal! complicity with Me, Alley, against the Government, as respects their acceptanse of bis teuder. That two tenders only were given in—one, by and from Mr. Lowe ; and the other by and from Mr. ‘Alley—and that both were given in in due time, we bave the published evidence of two highly respecrable and most trust worthy ge nilemen to prove—that of Mr. Morrison, the Deputy Colonial Secretary, and that of Mr. Robins, the Deputy Treasurer. Of that charge, therefore, I shall say ao more than that L am quite willing that it shall go for all

‘is quite certain, has fallen upon some of those unwilling | members of the League—men who would never have been ‘ eonnected with it in any way,had not their fears been wrought ‘upon by some of the bold, designing men who governed the ‘association, and who were the cau-e of all the disaffection, | discontent, collisions aud terrorism which arose an] pre- | vailed in certain districts of the I.land, especially in Queen's |County. The Government were a vare of ‘ be d sastrous and ruinous effects, of which the collisions taking place between ‘the civil officers of the law and recusant teuants could not ‘fail to be the cause, and they felt it to be their duty in the end to eal! in the aid of the military, as the ouly certain |means by which, without the fear of bloodshed or murder, a due observance of the law could be enforced, and peace, or- | der, and safety be re-established in the dis'urbed districts. | The presence only of the Military would, they knew, with- ‘out their having any actual recvurse to their arms, be suffi- | cient to awe the boldest and most turbulent into submission ; ‘endl therefore, it was that, influenced by the most mercifu | considerations, they chose to cal! in if aid of Troops to sus- ltain the authority of the !aw, ratber than to arm a civil ‘foree for that purpose. Had the Government, instead lof sending for the Troops, resolved upon the arming of a
