his motion, that hoe. gentlemen, whatever the government
might do, would airs the house an opportunity of discussing
the qu. stion. ILa g ere him credit fur the manliness with
which he had stated his views, but the reasons he had given
would he diasentid from by his own constituents, especially
Is what he hail raid relating to sheep. (Hear, hear.) The
agriculturists w. re so sof etiolate at one time as to have
the small pox masonic their sheep; but the hon. member
was the only nun who ever ascribed the rise in the price of
million or wool to that. It was netarious to every one
having to do with agriculture that, a', far from the
number of sheep having decreased, though the lean stock
bJ dsvreuos.al, the others hail increased. The hon. gentle-

MO. ((horn.) I am glad to Sod, talking cf

appliertioa of that principle has succeeded, and that her
Majesty's monist% ra have be an enabled to realise the cspect-
minus that wer.. held out as to the voluntary enlistment of

peculiar itratitt..it.im on that point, inasmuch as it always
was my opinion that volantary enlistment would answer
the puriaiar, and Viet • sufficient num ter of men would be
found ready to join the ranks of the militia upon the terms
which the ,pir..rnin. tit were prepared to offer. (Hear,

cence and co-opera:ha of the government of Brazil in the
measures which have been take u by this country for the
suparession of the shave trade. (Hear, hear.) lea happy

or on some tutare occasion, the government may he

which is now expiring, the slave trade of Cuba
has, by the good faith of the Spanish government, been re-
eueed or put an end to. Upon that great question which
ha. been the mato topic of debate this evening, I think that
if any doubt coattail have eahted when we met to-day as to
the necessity of some declaration on the part of this house—
ay, or no—upon the question of protection or tree trade—
that which has passed in debate this evening would have
removed that doubt altogether. (Rem., hear.) It appears
the government thought that the question might be pared

which resembles certainly in its ambiguity the celebrated
