NO FA SCOTIA .4 ND THE C.l NA DIAN

MNFEDERATION.

The objections raised by Nova Scotia against the
union with the other British American province," are suc-
cinctly stated in a aeries of resolutions which have been
forwarded by Viscount Monck to the imperial government,
and ripples of which, together with other deaputches on the
same subject, were published this morning.
The chief complaints of the Nova Scotism are that the
confederation was accomplished without the province
having been properly consulted, and that the results are
likely to prejudice some of its special interests. The
Provincial House of Assembly, therefore, agreed to an
address§ to the crown, praying that, so far as regards
that province, the act of parliament effecting the union
may be repealed.
In acknowledging the receipt of these documents the
Duke of Buckingham, in a despatch to Lord Monck,
dated June 4, expresses a hope that the objections which
have been raised may admit of removal. His
lordekip observes, with regard to the effect of the scheme
upon the taxation, trade, and fisheries of the province,
that it will be equally the wish of the Canadian govern-
ment and of the parliament of the dominion to relay or
modify any arrangements on those subjects which may
prejudice the peculiar interests of Nova Scotia, and of
the maritime portion of the dominion. No doubt can be
entertained that.the parliament of the Dominion will be
fully alive to both the justice and the expediency of con-
suiting all the various interests of the territory over
which its jurisdiction extends. Lord Mona is
also reminded that on several occasions Nova
Scotia has been the first of the provinces to
move the project of confederation. With respect to the
objection that before the act of union was passed no
appeal was made to the people in the provinces, such a course
has not been considered necessary in parallel cases, not even
when the two Cumuli's were united in 1839, although much
difference of opinion then existed. It is true that an appeal
to the country was proposed in the assembly of Upper
Canada, where there was much clam conflict in the de-
bate& but the proposal was rejected by a large majority,
and a similar proposal was attended with the same result
in the more recent debates on confederation. As to the
complaint that the union was not made subject to legisla-
tive ratification by the several legislatures, no such course
has been followed in the numerous modifications of colonial
constitutions, nd in the separation and onion & various cotes.
nies, which have bear effected bythe imperial parliament. But
"it does so happen," says the Duke of Buckingham,
"that after the present measure had been introduced into
the imperial parliament, and its terms made public, it was
cordially approved of by both houses of the legislature in
Nova Scotia in their addresses to the governor at the
opening of the session in 1887." His Grace adds that "the
provincial governments and legislatures, after the terms
bad been substantially settled, with the knowledge and
approval of all, looked to the imperial parliament to
accomplish their union. This has been done
exactly in the mariner requested ; the neighbour-
Mg province of New Brunswick has entered into
the union in reliance on having with it the sister province
of Nova Scotia, and vast obligations, political and com-
mercial, have been already contracted on the
faith of a measure so long disowned and so solemnly
adopted." The Colearial Secretary says it is the
belief of her Majesty's government that the measure will
not merely conduce to the strength and welfare of the
provinces, but that it is also important to the
interests of the whole empire ; and his Grace con-
cludes by Paying : " I trust that the assembly Ind people of
Nova Scotia will not be surprised that the Queen's govern-
ment feel that they would nab* warranted in advising the
reversal of a great measure of state, attended by so
many extensive consequences already in operation, and
adopted with the previous sanction of every one of the
legislatures concerned, and with the subsequent approval
of the legislatures of Nova Bootie, and New Brunswick."
We camerae that the question will be revived in Ms
Homo of Comma to-aotroy evening.
