%. Resolved, That even if
the present Governor in Chief
had, by making n more judi
ciouS selection, succeeded in
quoting the alarm and aIlaying
for a time the profound discon-
tent which then prevailed, that
form of government would not
be less essentially vicious which
makes the happiness or misery
Of a country depend on an EX-
ecutiye over which the people
ofthat country have no influ-
ence, and which has no perma-
nent interest in the country or
in common with its inhabitants:
and that the extension of the
elective principle is the only
measure which appears to us
to afford any prospect of equal
and sufficient protection in flu
ture to all the inhabitants of
the Province without distinc-
ton.
90 Resolved, That the accu-
sations preferred against the
House of Assembly, by the
Legislative Council as recon-
posed by the present Governor
in Chief, would be criminal and
seditious, if their very nature
did not render them harmless,

patches of the Secretary of
State for the Colonial depart
ment, and on the eve of a Gen
eral Election, now repeats and
renews, )that the constitution
of the Legislative Council may
be altered by rendering it cleo

justice and benevolence would
have been to inundate the coun-

80 Resolved, That by the
said Address to His Majesty, |
dated the lst cf April last, the
Legislative Council charges
this House with having calum-
niously accused the Kings re-
preventative of partially s. in
Justice in the exercise of the
powers of his office, and with
deliberately calunniating His
Majesty's officers, both civil
and military, as a faction indu-

When ike valiant men they stood

And bids to tread in the steps of lhos,

But thanks 10 the chiefs Of the oden time
And the laws which in God they wrote,

And some will menace, and some will ca]oe,
