TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORNI ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday the 6th, long debate on the
question of recommitting the Australian Colonies
Government Bill with the object of inserting addi-
tions depriving the Government at home of the power
of a Veto on colonial legislation. It was admitted
by the movers, that there were certain things which
by the colonial legislatures must not be done; and the
weakness of their case lay, in the impossibility of
effectually securing these by any attempted defini-
tion. There are things which must not be done, and
nobody can tell what may be among them till it is
seen. Such at least was probably the reasoning, which
induced a majority of 165 to 42 against the motion.
And in truth there appears no palpable reason, why
a Veto on the part of the Crown under the advice of
its Ministers, should not be continued in the Colonies
as long as in the mother country. Useful lessons
may be taken for practice in the one case, from the
practice in the other. It is clearly policy that the
exercise of such a Veto should be avoided by all sorts
of precautionary prudencvs ; and if it cannot be so
absolutely avoided in the smaller case as it has been
for the last century or two in the greater, some diffe-
rence may fairly be set down to the different circum-
stances of the two. Without entering into details
disparaging or flattering to any party, it is not diffi-
cult to see reason:, in the necessary circumstances of
colonies, why a last resort to a Veto under the con-
trol of the Imperial Government and Parliament,
may usefully exist in their case, even though not
I exerted for the major part of two centuries at home.
After this came a debate on numerous Clauses pro-
posed by Mr. Gladstone, connected with the position
of the Church of England in the Australian Colonies.
The supporters of them never got over the impres-
sion produced by their own exertions, that there was
at this moment an equality among religious bodies in
Australia, and these clauses were to overset it. II
the restrictions imposed by law upon the Church of
England are really'such as to prevent its clergy from
asking one another whether they think it best to sing
a psalm before sermon or after, it is here and not in
the colonies that alteration should be moved. But
the truth is, that the compact made by the State with
the Church which it established, and which the said
Church is now doing all it can to call into hostile
operation against itself, evinced a laudable conscious-
ness of,the necessity of controlling any Establishment
which was to have the powers and revenues contem-
plated, with a bitt of no ordinary sharpness. It
knew that it was mounting a rampant entero, which
no sane man would think of riding in a halter. And
this with no reference to the peculiarities of the indi-
vidual, but of the genus ; opinions on the real pre-
sence had about as much to do with it, as whether
there was a long tail or a short. For reasons of this
kind, it may be that the Church finds itself under a
sharper dispensation than is applied to the lower in
flesh roadsters by its side. But the question of tak-
ing it off, must not be settled in the Colonies.
In the course of the debate, a Member of the
Cabinet, the Secretary for the Home Department,
took occasion to express strong disapprobation of the
course at this moment taken by a considerable por-
tion of the Church, in a direction which though not
very pointedly expressed in words, nobody feels at a
loss to comprehend.
On the 7th, motion was made for the Repeal of the
Advertisement Duty. The circumstances were never
promising, and as might be expected, nothing was
accomplished. The whole subject is one which waits
for coming events to make its_ interest confessed.
After the Advertisement Duty, came the question
of a Committee for the Bakers. it is a very doubtful
point
whether the interference of Government in such
cases can be usefully applied or not ; but there appears
no marked reason why, if the working classes wish
it, their case should not be inquired into by a Com-
mittee. The proposal, however, was negatived by a
large majority.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.
