rity of 572 ; so that it may be said that this district
decided the question. The French counties of Resti-

gouche and Northumberland recorded 2,889 votes in
favour of Confederation, not one against—another

act which deserves to be taken into consideration by

all who would truly understand the state of public

opinion in New Brunswick. In addition to the
personal influences brought to bear against a party

that had enjoyed power and place for so long a
period, the Irish Roman Catholic vote because irre-

sistible. This party acted in a solid phalanx and

opposed Confederation, not altogether on the merits,

but for the always satisfactory reason to Irish

Americans, that it found favour with the British
Government. The arguments brought to bear upon

the masses who recorded their votes against Mr.

Tilley's Ministry by no means went to the root of
the question, refrained to touch it per se, and were
mainly confined to attacks against its presumed
tendency to increase taxation. It was alleged that
the scheme was projected in the interest of Canada,

that had a large and yearly-increasing debt, that was
on the verge of bankruptcy, and hoped to avert the
catastrophe by making the Maritime Provinces

sharers in its indebtedness. It was furthermore

argued that New Brunswick would become a mere
appendage to the larger and more populous colony,
and that its public men would have small chance in
the race for office against the Canadians, who, if the
principle of representation by population (familiarly
called " Rep. by Pop.") were adopted, would be
" Tritons among the minnows," and swallow up
every office in the gift either of the Crown or the
people.,, Another party, professing hearty allegiance

to the British Crown, affected to deny the loyalty

of the Upper Canadians, if not of the Lower, and
asserted that the Quebec project was but a cun-
ningly-devised manoeuvre to expedite annexation
to the United States, organised at Washington,
and subsidised by Federal secret service money.
But still more powerful as an argument was the

use made of the 64th article of the resolutions

adopted by the Conference at Quebec on the 10th
of October, 1864. By this it was stipulated that
in consideration of the transfer to the general Go-
vernment of the powers of taxation, an annual
grant should be made to each Province equal to
80 cents per head of the population, as established
by the Census of 1861 ; such grant or aid to be in

'ull settlement of all future demands upon the gene-

ral Government for local purposes. By this arrange-
ment New Brunswick, of which the population by
the census was 252,047, would receive a yearly sum

of $201,637, or £40,325, in perpetuity, out of which

she would have to defray, even though her popula-
tion should be doubled or trebled, the whole expen-
diture for roads, bridges, public schools, and other

items previously chargeable to the general revenues
of the province. This was considered a great hard-

ship and injustice, and the agitators against con-
federation took full advantage of it. The people
of New Brunswick forgot, however, that in other
free countries, such as the United States, roads,
bridges, and public schools are not maintained out
of import duties on foreign manufactures, but are
provided for by special rates, assessed upon them-
selves by the various localities to be benefited, and
that in reality New Brunswick had started upon a
false system, and ought in justice to herself and her
foreign customers to meet such charges by direct
assessment. To stop the further progress of New

Brunswick and the British North American Colonies
in this wrong direction, it was wisely agreed at
Quebec to limit such expenditure out of the general

revenues of the Confederation to the sum to which
it now stands, and equal for all of the colonies
to a rate of 80 cents per head, leaving it to each
colony whose growth in wealth and population may
hereafter render necessary a larger outlay to pro-
vide for the excess by a local rate upon the pro-
perty of the parishes and districts to be benefited.
But the New Brunswickers were alike too igno-
rant of taxation and too impatient and intolerant
of its presumed effects to look' with favour upon
any project, however equitable, that was likely to
impose a pecuniary burden. Thix was nne of the
main sources of the outcry against confederation,
and exercised great influence upon the minds of
all, who, for other reasons, were predisposed to be
hostile. The argument is still used with undimi-
nished pertinacity by those who think it worthy of
the occasion, or who have such little knowledge of
the true principles of taxation, as tending to the
development of the resources of a people, as to think
such misapplication of important duties to be either
desirable or profitable. New Brunswick requires an
extension of trade with the whole world ; but in
order to keep up her schools, her roads, and her
bridges, without a special tax for that purpose, she
places, and, if these arguments should prevail, would
continue to place, by means of her present high
tariff, an impediment in the way of her commercial
intercourse with Great Britain, France, and Brazil,
upon whose manufactures and commodities she
mainly relies for a revenue. It appears, however,
from a variety of indications, that the people, though
so short a time has elapsed since they gave their
decision, not by a very signal majority, in favour of
remaining as they are, have taken counsel of their
sober second thought, and that there is a very serious
misgiving on the part even of the men in power,
whether if the Parliament were again dissolved
within the next six months to give the province a
second opportunity, either of putting itself in unison
with the British Government or of declaring itself
more emphatically than before on the subject of
confederation, it would not reverse its previous
vote. It is alleged by the friends of Confederation
that were a vacancy to be caused at this moment in
the representation either of the county or city of St.
John, in consequence of the appointment to a paid
office of any one of the sitting members, the Con-
federates would start the late Premier, Mr. Tilley,
to contest the seat, and that they would carry it,
notwithstanding the combined hostility of the
Irish Roman Catholics and of all other possible
opponents.

En resume of the question as affecting New Bruns-
wick, it would appear as if the whole of the educated,
professional, and commercial classes, with the ex-
ception of those whose only chance of political
power rests upon the Irish vote, are in favour of
the grand idea of confederation, and that the masses
of the people in the rural districts do not object to
it, per se, but are afraid that if carried it will cost
too much money. If there be one thing more cha-
racteristic than another of the European colonist in
British America, whether in New Brunswick or the
Canadas, it is his selfish dislike of taxation. He
loves liberty, but objects to pay for its insurance.
He would be free to the end of time under the
benign protection of the: British Government,
but as soon as he is asked to put his hand in his
pocket to pay for the 'blessing, as he would have
had to do if he had remained at home, he begins to
grumble and bluster and talk of annexation to the
United States, Perhaps, however, this idle threat
will become still idler after the United States shall
have felt, as they have not yet done, the fullweight
of the burden of taxation which they have incurred
for indulgence in the luxury of Southern subjuga-
tion ; and the British colonist and the French habi-
tant will reflect, if they have not fl re ected already,
that it will be better to pay two or three dollars a
head for confederation than ten or twenty for an-
nexation. Such, however, are the present differ-
ences of opinion in New Brunswick as well as in
Canada (of Nova Scotia I cannot yet speak) on this
great subject, and the multiplicity of hostile and in-
consistent arguments that are heard, not so much
against the idea as against the details, that the
inquiry forces itself upon the mind whether the
birth or the destruction of a nation is the more
difficult, and whether, if the people of the seven
kingdoms of the Ileptarchy had been allowed to
decide for themselves whether they would unite
their fortunes under one head, as those of the
British American Provinces are now called upon
to do, the question _would not have remained- in
