Lion. Mr Davies said that he bad placed 2 notice on the Order Book, relative to the | introduction of @ measure for the final settle: | ment of the Land Question. but as a similar | measure was before the British Parliament touching the Irish Land Tenures, he woa d defer amy further action un il mext session, That a Bill eush as the Terant Compensa tion Act, was loudly called for, could not be idenied. It way the duty of the Legisluture ‘to see that absentee proprietors be compelled ito pay their lull share of the burdens of tue ‘Colony. He (Hon. Me Davies) then enver- led fully into the Land Question, and said that the best efforts of the triends of the people from tithe to time, w re rendered abortive by the counteracting tfluence of the proprietury fection in the Coluny, backed up by Colonial Gove: nors aid Downing Street. The extent to which the hostility of that faction at one | time was carried could be shown from the | fact that members of tie Assembly were im- prisdtied for expressing the views und wishes of their ‘constituents on the fluor of that House. He alluded’to his resignat'on of his seut.in the Executive Udunei!! and said that he could not consistently” remain &t a Board jwhere his views abd the Wishes of a large [portion of thé reopfe conld ifot be regarded. It was humiliating,* € say’ that the whole Legistarure of the Islnd was compelled to submit to te dictum of Downing Street. Out Pafliament was but & farce, waen pro prietorsdnd (heirubet’ ors could set at defiance the best measures of the peoplés’ ‘representa- tivee. Our bousted powers and independance were bot a mere shadow under the cuntrol of Colonial Governors, and Home Secretaries, And it appeared that now, the people, in acdition to all their burdens, were called upon to pay the Governor’s'Salary, a further token of the injustice inflicted on the Colony. Hon. Att’y. General eaid that merely placing a notice in the Order Book, did not lentitle bon. members to a discussion on any subject. It were better, thereforey to defer the debate till the questior of paying the Governors’ Salary would come up in proper ‘order. While admitting that gross ir justice had been done to the people of th¢ Isiut.d by the rejection of several weasures ca'catated té ‘better their condition, yet he could not agree with the views of ‘he hon. Mr. Davies, desires, that therefore, we mast leave the Goveroment. The proprietory systea was | State, and even Colonial Guvernors as to any |property, and much anxiety and suffering to | action on the Irish Question in the House of Responsible Government was introduced in! place in connection with the visit of the Commons would, ther-fore, militate for or 1551, it was tactily understood by the com Committee of the Hoense of Representatives of against ¢4e measure propounded by the Hon. | Mr. Davies.

We might antici- pate on our refusal that they would perhaps take steps to join us to Canada. At the close of his speech he submitted a Resolution to the following effect : W hereas a despateh dated loth Feb'y. last, from the Right Henoreble Earl Granville, Her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Cvulenics, addressed to Uw Honor the Administrator of the Government ot this Colony, had been received, by which the Im jever attempt any other than conciliating| perial Government called upon the Legisla- ture of this Is!and to make - rovision for the payment of ihe Salary of the Licutesant Governor, so soon as the present Lieutenant office iin Resolved that this Committee . deeply regret that Her Majesty bas not seen fit to aceede to their view respecting the parment of the salary of the Lieutenant _the United States to this /s'and Inst summer -mizht have been followed by beneficial re- sults, had they been restricted as originaliy | intended, to the mera giving and receiving of informations on questions of trade between P. E. Island and the United States. Thee Her Majesty's Government desired that the Commiviee should be treated with all proper ‘courtesy and furnished trecly with such bons _ fide information as cou!d properly be imparted _to them ; but that it wae anfortunate tu allow the discussion which took place to aseame the _€ppearance of a negotiation between a Colo- mal Government and tho Representatives of 'a Foreign Logislative body. Such isolated | negotiations with individual Colonies were ‘Open to most serious objection, especially | when they catend=d to matters affroting in~ | perial interests, and alee the interests of the hon mexnbers, expressive of their satisfaction | member, Mr. Brecken, meant to convey by | Governor, Mr. Dundas, should relinquish his other North Americen Colonies who were not made parties to the transaction. That the Government of this Island had exceeded the'r proper authority in treating with the said | Committee of Congress, and that if His Ex- | cellency had been applied to for his sanction "Governor aseet forth in the Address from both | he should not have given it; that Her Ma- wrong was infiscted upon the Colony by the | braneles of this Legislature, adopted in 1865 Jesty’s Government was not prepared at pre- mode in which its lands were granted away, and now when the Government were trying to free. the people from the ineubus of Landlordism, they were most unjustly called upon by the Home Uflice to provide a Salary! for the Lieutenant Governor, prompted no doubt by Canadian influence, and perhaps backed up by Governor Dundas. He then alluded to the ignorance of Secretaries of knowledge of the local wants and require ments of this Colony. We were, however, not far from a great power and airee people, with whom ere long we would have recipro- city. He commended Hon. Mr. Davies for resigning his seat at the Executive Board ; no spirited man would hold his seat at a Board where its head arrogated to himself the exercise of power beyond that of his Royal Mistress. It was well Known that a large n unber of the yeomanry of Queens Jounty were proscribed, and the wishes of the Executive thwarted relative to the ap- pointment of officials. Was such an inter ference with the people’s rights, he would ask, in accordance with the principles of re sponsible Government. Shculd war break out ia Europe, the policy of the Home Gov ernment toward her Colonies would perhaps be changed. It they had starved Newfound land and driven her peopls intu Confederation, it was not bonvrable for any Lieutenant Gove:nor to be trying to tie us tc a country with which we could exchange nothing. He hoped the day was not far distant when we wou!d be free from such serfdom and restrictive policy, and have free trade with a free people. He also censured the interference of Governor Dundas relative to Free Trade | negotiations, and said that the uiter ignor ance of Colonial Governore touching the wants and interests of the [sland reminded hua of the words of the poet who exclaimed : ** An idot race, to honor lost Who kuow them best, despise them most.” Mr. P. Sinclair said, that if the couduct o! the Lisutentant Governor \ras such as wae represented by hon. members, he would not attempt any justiiication of the course pur- sned by the Governor. As to the Land Question, he would observe that the only means for settling that question finally was on the prinerple of a compromise. such as had already to a great extent proved succesful. House adjourved. Mospay, March 29th. Mr. MeNeill presented u Bill to incorporate the Wheatiy River Lime Company. Re. evived and read.

Governor Mr. Dundas shall relinquish his offve. lion. Mr. Uaviland followed, and said that he was opposed to making provision for the payment of the Governors Salary, until a third remonstrance was made. It was unjust to urge the same reasons aga‘net us as in the other Colonies, for they had many resources which we had not. We had no Crown Lands, Mines, por Minerals from whicn +o pay that salary, and in the time of King George LIL, the Imperial Government grant- ed away all the Lands of this Colony, in one day, to sailors and suidiers, who had claime on the mother country; and when the Civil List Bill was passed, it was mutually agreed upon between this Colony and the Im- perial Government that the latter would pay the Governors Salary. The Home Govern ment was therefore morally and legally bound to pay it. His remarks, he said, might 'be viewed with distrust becauss of his views on Confederation, but he always held that it would be the heightof poliutiesl folly to fu:ce that question apon the people of this Colony wnul they were prepared for it. Le could not for one moment believe the [m- rial Goeverument would force us into Con- tederation against the will of our people, | because we woold not yieid to an unjust de- taund in resisting whien we bad right on our ede. He would, therefore, submit as an amevdment to the Resolution of the Hon. Attorney Generel, the following, viz: Resolved that another joint Address cf the Lesislauve Couaei aad House of Aesemb y be forwarded to the Impcrial Government, setting forth the injustice of this Coleny be- ing compelled to pay the Salary of the Lieut. Governor out of its local resources after the injurous Act of the Government of King George the Third, in granting away thie Township Lands of the Volony to 123 indi- vidaais who had pecuniary claims on the Mother Country, and praying the British Government to reconsider their determination, us eet forth in Lord Granville’s Despatch. lion. Mr. McAulay—The time would come when we tust pay the salary in question, but, to be ezlied upon to do so now was con- trary to the spirit of the compacs entered into when Responsible Guvernment was ceded to this Colony. Hon. Mr. Duncan said, the Imperial Gov- ernment was not using the Colony properly in demanding the paysaeat of the Governor's Sulary, and if be considered that we would not be fureed into Confederation by refusing \to pay it he would be for making another appeal against the injustice done. to the! Coluny oa this question, bat under’ presen: | circumstances, he would not withhold bic; support from the resolution of. the Hen. Attorney General. ; lion. Mr. Henderson—The Ilome Govern- ment would not so degrade its own character asto perpetrate an act of such gross injustice as to’ put this Colony inty Confederation against our will; because’ we remon- strated a third time against submitting to tie payment of the Governor’s Salary, He was satisfied that if the British people knew our position they would not give their consent to such treatment as the despatch pointed out, calling upon us, very unjustly, to pay that which by the Civil List Brli com pact was to be defrayed by the Home Govern- ment. Mr. Prowse concurred with the sentiments expressed by the Hon. Att'y General, and siid the couree prreued by the Home Govern ment, would tend to alienate the affections | and aff-et the loyalty of the neople of this | Colony inno small degree. In the adjoining | Province of Nove Seotia, where one flag was | raised on the first of July lust, in honour of the | New Dominion, there were ten floating in the Fourth of July, shewing the feeling of «| | people thrustinto Vonfederation againet we wil. Hon. Mr. Davies—Thers was something ominous.iu the words of the despatch in question, which implied that if we did not | provide for the salary of the Governor, the | sent to take any steps in ucnoe of this |Report of the Executive Council of this Ie- ‘land; that if, however, in course of time there should be a possibility of a general arrangement between the United Siates and the North American.Colonies, the suggestions ‘eontained in that Report would be borne in mind by Her Majesty’s Government. Mr. McNeill presented a Petition, fi divers inhabitants of ‘Lots 23 an* etting forth that the Act regulating Pees chatged by members of the Bar and officers of the | Superior Courts of Law in this Island. re- quired to be amenéed with the v.ew of moderating and defining the Fees charged by said parties. Received and read, and referred to a Com- mi*tee. On motion of Hon. Attorney General the Heuce went into QCommittes on a Vasalutian to take into consideration the advisthility of placing a sum not exceeding £35,000 at the disposal of the Government for the of purebasing Proprietary Estates without limit as to price. In introducing the mea- sure he said that the purchases effected, ander a similar bill last session, met the approval of the country, and as no injadicious ase had been made of the grant of jast session, he hoped the House would support a further ex- penditure for like purposes. Some 400,069 acres were still in the hands of the Proprie- tore, some of whom had made offers to sell, bence the necessity of giving extended powers to the Government to enable them to continua purchasing lands that might be offered on reasonable terms, Mr. Peter Sinclair hoped the Government would continue te act as judiciously in the future as they had in the past,in baying lands under the provisione of the Bill under consideration. There were tenantry whose preprietors would not eell under the provision of the Land Purchase Bill. In order, there- fore, to place the Government in a position to purctase lands that might offer for eale, it wos necessary to give them power to act.
