The Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Address being called, the house divided on Mr. Mr. M. C. Cameron‘s amendment. Yeas 42; nays (5+. [This division has already been published as sent by telegraph] Hon. J. ll. Cameron then moved the following,r amendment to the third para- graph :â€"- " That. the words ‘in each section of the Province,’ in the second line, he omit- ted, and that after the words ‘ before us,’ in the third line.thc following be inserted: -â€"-‘ Which, while providing for such an increased representation in the House as is demanded by the increased population of Upper Canada, will also preserve the federal character of the eXisting Union,by maintaining an equal number of elected re- presentatives from each section of the Pro- vince in the Legislative Council.’” The lion. Gentleman said the division Which had jtist been taken, gave the Co- Teriiineiit an opportunity of applying their doctrine of their Double Majority, for 41 members from Upper Canada had voted for the amendment, and only 31 against it. (Hear, hear.) He believed it would have been the desire of the Opposition to have allowed the Address to pass without mov- ing any amendments, had not the G0vcrn~ ment actually challenged amendments by the course they had adopted. He had heard it said, that the Government. having stated in their programme of last Session that they would submit a measure for the more equitable adjustment oftlie represen- tation in each section of the Province, it was necessary that they should refer to it in the. speech from the Throne. If that was the rea‘Son they gave, he did not think it was a valid and substantial one, because they could-as well have left out of the Speech'one portion of their programme as another, and they had made no reference either to the Double Majority resolutions, which from that programme it might be anticipated they would offer for the affir- mation of the House, or to the measure of Separate Schools, which was also pro- -mis:d. But, by placing in the mouth on his Exeellency a statement that his Cabi net Would submit to the House a measure for the more fair and equitable adjustment Ao'f’the representation in each section ofthe Province, they had thrown down the gaunt- diet to those who did not concur in the propriety of such a measure. A discus- sion of the prmctple involved, therefOre, became unpvoidable. in taking part in that. discussion, however, it was not his in tention to iffefer to the various speeches which had been made by the Hon. Com- missioner of Crown Lands, the llon.,Post- master General or the Hon. Solicitor Ge- neral on this subject-as he had no desire to go over the ground which had been so ably gone over by his lion. and learned friend and name sake, the llOll~ member for North Ontario. He would, in the first instance, remark that he saw no reason for taking the view which some hon. members had taken, that of professing to consider l the course of the lion. Premier, in refer- ence to the Representation question, as sufficient to entitle him to be looked upon as an angel of light, while his colleagues Were looked upon as angels of darkness. Forlie could not help thin-king that the lion. Attoruey General \Vest was open to Censure for having brought into his Cabinet gentlemen of whom he had spoken, in their character and capacity as Clear Grits, iii a manner he should presently refer to; and, tnorc than this, that he was not entitled to all the credit for consistency which had been claimed for him. For he was able to show, by the language used by the hon. gentleman some time ago, that, though at the time he snoke he did not consuler the question was fully ripe for consideration. that the time had not ar- Jived for actually carrying it, he did say that when the census was taken, if it should be found that the population of Upper Canada exceeded that of Lower Canada by 150000 or 200,000, he would then be prepared to give the matter his calm and deliberate uOItSldCl'dllUt], and that he believed that by that time the .‘lelorm party Would be in pOWer, and that by that Reform party this great constitu- tional alteration would be made. Mr. lameron proceeded to read from speeches delivered by the Premier, before the taking .rof the census, to make good the uSSPl'tIODS ..â€"-â€"-sp:eehes in which be blamed the vio- ‘lence of the Clear Grits as the cause which prevented the lteforincrs from meeting on one common platform, and stated that when the census showed a preponderance of population to exist in Upper Canada to .the amount of 150,000 or 200,000, he would be the foremost man to consider the question .of Representation by l’oiiulalion, and that by the time the census was taken the Reform party would probably be in power, and would he in a position to carry it. The time had now come when the ’census had been taken and the Reform par- ty was in poweL-and he thought they had a right to call on the lion. gentleman to redeem his pledge. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cameron quoted also a passage from a speech delivered by the member for 1:10- .cltelaga (Mr. Dorion) to the effect that the census would probably show that Upâ€" per Canada had a preponderance of from ,,l:’;0,000 to 250,000 of population, and inst when this was shown, the representa- piies of Uppdr Canada, combining with M1,... vvvvv .ylt,.., n .. ,VL.

' Union should be maintained by having each section represented in the Upper House by the same number of members, and that in the Lower House there should be Representation according to Popula- tion. He felt satisfied that the people of Upper Canada were prepared to accept any such fair arrangement and comproâ€" mise with their friends in Lower Canada. Bathe was equal‘y satisfied that they could not by any possibility allow the question to remain over year after year, and he was quite sure that they would not quietly submit, when, instead of its ap- proaching a solution, they found it sltut down upon them in the manner proposed by the present Government. (f1ear,liear,) The Government had not enlightened the House as to the nature of the measure . I they proposed to introduce. They were however, Only two ways VieWing it. In equalizing the Representation they could either redistribute the constitu- encies, keeping the number of representa- tives the some, or they could apportion an additional number of representatives to the larger and more populous constituenciespr give an increased number of representa- tives, and in either case they admitted the principle. They Were only placing them- selves and the public generally in a false pasitiod.‘ "lithe principle, if good for each section, must be good for the whole Pro- vince. The people of Upper Canada would be will'ng to accept a lair compro- misc ; but the feeling in favour 0f the de' mand increased daily. It was well known it could not be put off. and it Was, there.- fore, wrong to attempt to avoid it. It was a poor attempt on the part of hon. gentle- men opposite to justify their conduct by retortiiig on the. other side of the llouse that they had acted similarly on former oc- casions. This was no excuse whatever for the course they now piirsted. For himself he could say that from the first time this question was brOUght up in this flouse, many years ago, he had never on any occasion voted against it, except once, t and that was when it was made a question of want of confidence in the Government of the day. (Hear, hear.) But that was before the large preponderance of the po. pulatim of Upper Canada was ascertained by the census to be an actual fact. Now, however, when it had become apparent that the people .of Upper Canada were unanimously in favour of it; when the feeling was increasing in strength‘ and the census showed the preponderance of the population of Upper over that of Lower Canada,there could be no difficulty whatever as to the course to be pursued; and be (Mr. C.) had consequently voted steadily for the principle. I'le wished to avoid any remarks calculated to stir up bad blood; but merely to express his be- lief clearly. calmly and consistently. He believed the people of Upper Canada would be fully prepared to meet the Loww Canadians on a reasonable basis~â€" for instance, with an equal number of re- presentatives in the Legislative Council, and a representation based on numbers in the ASsembly, as proposcd in the resolu- tion which he had submitted. \Ve should endeavour'to arrange matters so as to carry on the Government Without injury either to Upper or. Lowar Canada. 'f'here was at one time a preponderance of four or fch Upper Canadian members over the Lower Canadians in the Upper House.-â€"-â€" Did any one pretend to say that this had resulted in injury or injustice to that sec- tion which was in the minority! N0 per- son thought. of such a thing. lt happened just now that the number of appointed Legislative Councillors having been re- dticed by death, was equal for both secâ€" tions, but this had not previously been the case,at least since the elective principle had been introduced. There could be no ground whatever for any fear but an in- creased representatioa, where required by excess of population, could cause inv justice. Did lion. gentlemen pretend to say that this question could be postponed for ten ycars'l Why. there was a time when they contended that it could not be delayed for a year. and that it should not even be deferred until the last taken cen‘ sus.

IF the worthy representative of the ambitious city of Ottawa should not be oanouized by the head of the church, in whose behalf he appears to be laboring so assiduously, he will certainly be unfairly dealt with. There are many names in the catalogue of the saint fraternity less worthy of such a distinguished mark of honor; and as Canada should not be considered unworthy of giving origin to a saint or two, now and then, we certainly think Mr. Scott a most eligible person- age. Scarcely had the business of the session fairly commenced when Mr. Scott’s redoutable Separate School Bill is once more brought under consideration. On what ground the battle against the cue- mies of popular education will be fought. or what new light may be thrown on the subject, it is of course difficult to conjecture, A few months ago the ltoman Ca- tholic press urged on the friends of petitioning parliament on the sub- ject; and it isquite possible that a number of petitions may, ere long, he submitted to the House. There is a sufficient number of people in Upper Canada who are always ready and willing to act in such matters, precisely as the priest dio rects ; to furnish quite a formidable lists of names to such documents. But. these, it is probable, will be estimated at their proper value, and. ' This Council met at Sizes Hall, British American.

There "is, however, another fact to be taken into consideration in reference to this question. Doctor Ryerson may now be regarded, tr. a certain extent, as the Coadleor of Mr. Scott in support of sectarian education. No single man in the Of this TOWnShiP. province, perhaps, is capable of cepted by the Council. cxarting a greater influence in bringing about any change in edu- cational matters." And no fact can be clearer than, that he is at the present timeâ€"whether conscien- tioqsly or not-ea \varmsupporter of denominational or sectarian educa- tipli‘L'j““l'-’1‘liis crusaddliiagainst our Provineial University,_and his pro- posal of last year to‘girant all the demands of the Separate School party under the pretense of afford~ ing greater facilities for the educa. tion of vagrant children, prove this to be true. It is impossible, there- fore, to say iwhat new proposition he may make when the matter is brought forward, or under what guise he may endeavor to carry out his strange and inconsistent policy. The only safety lies in constant vigilance on the part'of the true friends of education. â€"â€"~â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€"¢ ,_","1"HE USURY LAWS. v lu' . strafie the fact that tl'ie'ilfin'liabitants of Lower Canada are ess progres- Stoutenburgh. of Victoria Square. science of political economy and the laws that regulate the Commer- cial affairs of a nation, sufficient proof might be found, in the per- ,sive and less acquainted with the with which their represen- sistency theories, in relation to trade, that were at one time held to be neces- sary and just.
