A Ciua Rspolution IN Canada.
JAMES GORDON BENNETT ESQ =
| DEAR SIR -
According 10 promise | now undertake TO give
you slight sketch of the proceedings in the Legis
latiye Assembly of this Province, during the past
week.
The House was called together on the eighth in
slant, and alter the delivery OF HIS ExCellency's
speech from the throne, proceeded TO business They
| soon took into consideration the answer to His Ex-
celencys address, which is usual very tame do
cument possessing but little merit either as poh-
| cal or literary production. The ministers then in
power, (who II Is well known prepare the Cover
nors address,) moved answer thereto a mere
echo OF ITS contents. This was opposed by the pro-
| ductlon OF amendments on the part of MIR. Baldwin,
the leader OF the opposition Implying want Of con-
hdence IN the then present ministry, and differing
from the opinions the prosperity of the country
expressed IN the address-the question was postponed
and previous TO lis reconsideration new and con-
| ciliaury movement was adopted by the government
| tending TO satisfy the French Canadian population
| who have hitherto complained OF their want of re-
presentation IN the executive an offer was made To
Messrs. Baldwin and Laontaine of the attorney ge.
nerashps OF eastern and western Canada. the first va
cant by the voluntary resignation of Mr.. Draper who
of operation, the second by the dismissal from
| office of Charles K. Ogden, late Attorney Ge-
| neral for Canada East-an old and faithful servant
OF government, who has tor elgateen or twenty
years discharged his duties with credit TO himself
and satisfaction to that government which appoint
ed hun, and he is now turned adrift in his ABSENCE
too, for the mere purpose OF assisting concation
| which might have been effected in more credita
| bic manner.
| The letter announcing this offer was read by one
ct the mi 1istry in the House of Assembly and pro-
| duced good deal of discussion and abuse-the
| gentlemen most interested refusing to accept
the Offices and the seats in the Executive, while
an aposate from their party held his appoint.
| ment as Inspector General of Accounts; the per-
son referred to IS Mr. Hincks, who has for seve-
| raj months been brought before the Canadian pub
lie IN no tiatterlng manner. Belonging TO, and en-
ersecaliy combining with the reform opposition
party, he Tor series OF years eXeued his talents and
influence IN war against goverlm measures, In
whatever shape they appeared he lately received
his appointment TO the Executive Council, with a
salary oil ElOO0 per annur You may readily gather
| the change in his political opinions from the united
attacks OF all parties through the medium of the pub
| lie press. lie gained no laurels, and am re
manned untr cubed by pleasurable emotions durins
The discussion OF that day, and had he not become
Gallons 10 their attacks, would have made at least
feeble attempt 10 rescue his character from the igno-
bic condemnation II received.
The discussion lasted till late hour on TUESDAY
evening" There were Gas is usual on such occa-
sions) many attempts at eloquence and wit great
exhibition OF party feeling, and some strongly argu
nentatl,e and convincing speeches. The House adj
loulned, leaving the matter az statn quo
On the morrow, one of the ministry introduced
motion TO delay the consideration Of the subject,
to which no opposition was made by the party who
were before most anxious for It's immediate settle
ment, and the matter went over till Friday last
rumor In the interim was busy, and the public had
distinct idea of the change about to be effected. |
before its announcement officially, which was done
after the usual routine business had been gone
through WITH and the first order of the day read Il
was then stated that the offer made by His Excel
lency TO the aforementioned gentlemen, Messrs.
Baldwin and Lafontane, had been accepted. The
amendments proposed by the former gentleman to
the address IN reply, Were withdrawn, and the adj
| dress, with but slight alteration in lis conclusion
was Unanimously resolved on, mem. dis. Some
explanation was then asked for by number
| OF the independent members relative to this
trucking bargain and cancellation. Those of
| the old ministry who retain Office &C
cused OF forming this junction, from know
ledge that a vote OF want OF confidence" in
their administration would be passed and themselves
eected from their lucrative Offices to which they
would stand but little chance of re-apponmen,-
OF sacrificing their absent colleague, Mr.. Ogden,
whose interests they bound to protect TO their
private and sordid motives On the other hand |
the new members of the Cabinet were charged with
inconsistency, In accepting Office and seats at the
same council board with one whom they had pre-
vlously proessed to despise as an "aposate" from
his formerly cherished opinions, and with whom
they had but two days previous declared their I'M
Willingness TO associate. The great majority of the
House exl ressed their concurrence in the present
union, and their disposition to test its working, and
refrain from condemnlng the policy, until they as
certain its tendency, halllng it as the dawn OF a
brighter day. which would be productive of the
most beneficial results to the country at large and
tend to cement our connection with the mother
country, rendering permanent the Institutions of
responsible government, and promoting a harmony
of parties, and the national prejudices which have
for so long time disturbed and revoutonized the
colony.
What the result of this new movement, so utterly
unexpected, will be, remains to be seen, and we
must trust that the glowing picture drawn by those
who favor IT, will be realized and carried into effect
| The French Canadians cannot complain of the
want OF representation, several other nomina-
Mr.. Girouard to be Commissioner of Grown Lands
III lieu OF Mr.. Davidson, dismissed after twenty
years service; Mr.. Parent, to be Clerk of the Exc
cutlye Council. and the Solicitor Generals office

their interest The ultra Tory press is, of course,
teemlng with structures the measure, condemn
ing 1t sacrifice OF all prlucple calculated to de-
stroy British supremacy in the Province, and alien

however, to indulge in idle speculations the sub
Iect, each has his own opinion, and until tested,
none can decide what the future working of this
sngularly composed cabinet will be. II at any
time, they should wander from the path dictated TO
them by the majority, they can be brought 10 their
senses by that expression OF want of confidence"
which has terrified the late ministry into an arrange

sranng them in all their measures and serve as a
warning for future legislator. in the Province
Many changes incident TO this leading one, which
now usurps the attention of the Provincials will
undoubtedly take place, and shall endeavor to
communicate them TO you at the earliest opportunl-
ties. have refrained thus long from communica-

be fully maured and resolved upon, and hope it may
prove sufficiently interesting for publication.
