Parliament of Quebec,and that,theret‘ore. it should not be tried again. And that he â€"â€"Mr Macdougallâ€"although he condemned the act and denounced the man would vote against the rcsolutIon. He thought that, opinion was not a sound onc.f'or if no de- finite action were taken now they would have no guarantee that therewould not be a repetition of such acts in the future, and besides that,it. would enable the Lieutenant- Governor 0t Quebec to escape the penalty which ought attach to crimes such as this. He had looked carefully into the question and come to the conclusion that the action of the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec on the occaston referred to was illegitimate and Improper; that it was a violation not only of the letter but of the spirit of responsible Government; that he had not done what he had been delegated to do. He had been sworn to conserve the liberties of the peo- ple. The will of the people had been de- cidedly in favor of the Ministry then in power; yet he had tnken upon himselfto dismiss that Ministry and to call in another set of men not possessing the confidence of the country. He had not.perhaps studied Parliamentary usage or Constitutional Law so much as a great many other hou.gentle- men, but his plain reading of the meaning of responsible Government wasâ€"and it was the reading.he thought.understood by the peopleâ€"that the people through their re: presentativesâ€" shall prevail. He was satis- fied,and he was sure the house was satisfied from the arguments they had heard that this Lieutenant-Governor bad n0t,under the circumstances.the right to dismiss the De Boucherville Government. The action wasl a wrong dcing,and that wrong.r doing was an‘ infringement on the Constitution,by which the rights ofthe people had been trampled ; upon and subverted. It was in his opinion, a great injury done to our young Domin- iou,striking at the very roots of responsible ‘ Government. When they come to reflectl upon this question. it was less diflicult to apprehend the causes than to calculate the consequences which might flow from it.‘ They had, at the time, a Parliament led by the gentlemen now opposite. Those gentlemen came into that Parliament in the strong plentitude of their power, backed up by a large majority, and posses- sing the confidence of the country; but when they found that confidence waning and themselves running aground in the country, they resorted to unworthy means, to prolong their tenure of power,and when there was an impending general election. theytefused to take the action generally desired hyalarge majority of the people of this country, advancing the traitorous argumentâ€"whereby to gain some advan- tage in the electionâ€"that the Lieutenant- Governorshonld be dealt with and tried by the people and Parliament. of Quebec. It might be that these gentlemen would deny they entered into any conspiracy with the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, or that they improperly advised him, but they would never purge themselves before the people of this country,unless they gave their support to the resolution which was before the House; the Lieutenant-Governor had no personal interest in such a course as that taken by him. He had committed a great Crime against the people and against himself. and it would leave upon him and family, for three or four generations to come, the stamp of inefi‘aceable shame. Mr Letbllier had nothing to gain in. IQ MR Bonuses said that it seemed to him they never could have an occasion upon which it would be more important for a careful deliberation by the (states of this country than atthe present moment. The question they had betore them was,â€"whe- ther the power of the people,as expressed through their representativesshail prevail, or the power of one man shall be allowed to crush out the freedom of the whole peoâ€" ple ? This question had been fought out by their ancestors for forty generationsfit had beed fought for over the whole world,and the battle had not been in any country so successful as in the empire of Great Britain, where they had the great and inestimahle boon of responsible Government They hoped to have it here.andthey should ret rin it,and see that it be carried out on occa- sions like the present. Here in the Domin< ion they were in a peculiar position. They were a, number of scattered Provinces that had been brought together for the purpose of creating a powerful Dominion;they were people of different races,s_neahing,in many instances,difl"erent languageghaving many and widely devergent interests. And there fore,it was all-important thatthe men to whom power was entrusted to whom they had confided the guidance,slmuld endeavor to create a. national sprrit,rather tending towards a higher and nobler feeling,than a debased national sentiment. They should rather endeavour to make their actions bear the impress of statesmanlrke thought,than the stamp ofpetty and dishonourahle intri- gue. They would firtd that the people gen- erally had a disposition to shape their con- duct by the example ofthose placed in char ge over them. We all know how dfiicult it is to purifya stream polluted at its source. It was most unfortunatemn an occasion like the present,when this Confederation was only just 'formed,when the scattered Provin- ces were scarcely ass‘rnilated.when the many divergent interests were only approaching conSOlidation,that they should have the degrading spectacle of this man.t0 whom had been confided the honour ofthe people, the trustee ofa special trust who had been specially delegated to preside over the deliberauons of Par-liament,conspirinrr against his own advisers lying rn wait for ‘ 1‘hem,trying to take advantage of some inadvertent action on their part to work them harm. We have the degrading spec- tac‘e of this man sworn to preserve liberties of the people enterng into a conspiracy to destroy the many liberties he is sworn to Conserve. It was important that this Par- liament should take immediate steps to secure a better state of things;more especi- ally a¢,at this very moment.they found the Bremier of'the Province of Ontarioâ€"less daring perlraps,tlian the Lieutenant-Gover- nor of Quebec,but the equally pliant tool of a. factionâ€"prolonging: Par iament beyond the legitimate term of its existencefor the base purpose of party intrigue. They felt. it now in Untario,and c0uld,:herefore,sym- pathise with the people of Quebec, He thonght that if the representatives ofthe peoplein this Parliament assembled,if the estates of this realm did not take any cog- nisance of this question.if they were unwill- ing to deal with it and to stamp this action with their supreme c0ndemrration,it would be a. very unfortunate thng for this country; but. he firmly helzeved that this Parliament would not neglect to set the seal of severe condemnation on actions like this. He had heard his horrfriend from Halton [Mr Macdougall].able and old parliamentarian as he was,say,that this man had been tried twice,that. the matter had been tried in the This question came up in the House recently, on resolution of Mr Mossean “that the Lieutâ€"Governor’s action was unwise and subversive of the position accorded to the advisers of the Crown." Some able speeches were elicited by this resolution. The following is a curtailed report of the remarks made by Mr B0ultbee.â€" The Quebec Constitutional Question. BOULTBEE'S SPEECH; [ doing, and the people of this country, whether rightly or wrongly, would believe that the gentlemen who now lead the Up- position in Parliament instigated the Lieutenant-Governor to take the course he did. That was the beliefâ€"this belief had gone over this country. The leader of the Opposition abnegating our most im- portant Parliamentary functions, had said that this matter should have been fought out in the Parliament of Quebec. as it was one which affected that Provrnce only. He [Mr Boultbee], thought that any wrong done to that Province was a Wrong dare to the whole Dominion, and a hit w struck at the vital principles of responsible Govern- ment; and that when they came to con- sider the value of the institutions they had, and the labor and trouble they had taken to obtain the Constitution they now en- joyed. they should allow as little time as possible to elapse betore counteracting as far as was possible. the blow struck at tlieselibsrties by the action of the Lieu- tenant-Governor of Quebec; and he thought it wasimperatively necessary on them to carry this resolution. otherwise there would be a subversion of every prin- ciple of popular liberty. The people of Quebec had given their adherence very loyalty to the scheme of Confederation, abandoningtheir old system and ancient laws. They were a brave, clrivalrous people, very sensitive to every emotion of honor, and they were willing to join us to build up this great Confederation, based on the noblest principles of the British Con- stitution,firmly relying on its justly boasted freedom safeguards; and how bitter would it be for them, if they found the expects- tions they had formed of the betefits that would accrue to them, destroyed by the heinous blow struck at their liberties, that. one man had power to trample out their freedom. Tire time had come when the gentleman in the supreme position at Gov-l ernment House here wasa scion of the nohlcst aristocracy the World ever saw,I verSed in the honorable practice of Eug-I lish statesmen. sent by our Gracious Sovereiin to superintend our affairs and guide our destinies. How should we feel if by some mischance we had instead some miserable trickster, hating our present Government. and false to our free institu- tions, he might come to this House and say. “you are taking,r some action in regard to the tarifi", or other-wise, which seems to me not according to the practice of the Mother Land, or adverse to her interests, andIsliall dismiss you.” He might. do this and send us to the country hampered with an unfair- cry and beset with every base machination the gentlemen opposite could desire. Then in this light even the most prejudiced would see the iniquity of the coursepursued by the Lieutenant- Governor of Quebec. He was not sur- prised that the leader of the Opposition declined to deal with the merits of this question. According to the practices of his past life, according to the utterances made by him on every Ontario platform, he dare not deal with it. Bold Tribune of the people he had spent his life until the ilust five years in battling, by words at least, for the liberties of the people and he dared not now openly defend such action as this. In Ontario, they had determined as far as they could, and he believed they would not go back on it, that they would not give up the principle of responsible Government, as long as they had life to figlitforit. He followed, as carefully as he could, what the leader of the Opposition had said. That hon. gentleman said it was the duty ofthe Government. if Governor Leteilier had done wrong, to have dismis- sed him. That was a very pretty arguâ€" ment; but they icould hardly expect the gentlemen who had counselled the execuâ€" tion of this move on their behalf to turn round and ccnsure'him for so doing. The homgentleman said that Governor Letellier dissolved Parliament on the advrce of his constitutional advisers. This was too grave a matter to be made ajoke of, and in view of the facts, it did seem, viewed in the light of responsible Goverenieut. to partake of the character of a farce. He dismissed a Ministry sustained by an Overwheletniug majority in both Houses, then formed one out of an insignificant minority, their acted on their advice and the hon. member for Lambton calls this acting oti the advice of his constitutional advisers. This was the shame‘ess aVOthl of a shameful doctrine. The hon. member for Lainbton then went on to make some remarks of a Scriptural character in reference to the prophets of Baal. The prophets of llaal, it would be remembered, on the occasion referred to.: were called up in a crowd to generally deâ€" stroy the prOphets ofthe true God. That was a feat which the leader of the Opposi~ tion and his friends, endeavored to execute, and in this way carried out the Biblical history as recorded in the destruction of the prophets of Baal. Hon. gentlemen presented themselves before the people of Canada, and they were nearly as effectively destroyed. There was scarcelya remnant of them left. In reference to the remarks ofilie lion. member for Halton (Mr Mac- dougall), he (Mr Boulthee), understood the hon~ gentleman to say that he condemned the action of Mr. Letellier, but,at the same time, he was going to support. it. He [Mr Boultbee]. did not understand that; as he understood it, ifa man did wrong, and de- served to be condemned. they should con- demo him. He would simply close by saying that. because he thought the act of the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec was unconstitutional, because he thought. it was an act corruptly conceived with a. View to subverting the Constitution of this country, because he thought it was conceived in treachery and shaped In fraud, because he thought this House should mark this action with most severe condemnation, he should support the resolution. ‘Mr WHITE (Caldwell), moved (head- jogynment of the} the dgbqtg.
