The people of Springfield have always
handsomely patronized the TIMEs--a

to attend to their wishes at his store. The
people of that place now have, in part
at least, village paper of their own, to
which they ought and doubtless do give
a liberal support We mean of course
the Springfield edition of the Vermont
Record. Let them support their home
paper, and then do what they can for the
rest of us. That's our doctrine.
Speaking of our agent above reminds
us Of his store. where VIC believe business
is done under the firm of GEO. w. PoR.
TER & Co., and where may always be
found a good assortment of groceries.

THE NEW DOMINION.
Report Of the Nova Scotia Delegates Sent to

Scheme.

Report of the Nova Scotia Delegates Sent to
England in Reference to the Confederation
Scheme.
HALIFAX, August "a, 1868.
Parliamentary papers have been brought before
the House which embrace brief reports OF the dele
gates, all the papers prepared in England and the
legal opinions Of Sir Rounded Palmer and Vernon
Harcourt. The latter differs widely from Mr.. Will
kin's constitutional arguments The delegates sub
mitted six questions The answers are In substance
as follows:-First there Is limit to the powers Of
imperial legislation over colony like Nova Scotia.
Second the authority OF the imperial Legislature
being absolute cannot in any legal sense
be dependent on the consent OF the col
ony. Third, the preamble of the Union
act is important as evidence that the imperial
Legislature did not intend to exercise extreme
powers, but acted on the supposed consent OF the
colony. II the fact of such consent be disproved,
that may afford valid argument for repeal, but
cannot affect the legal validity Of the statute The
fourth question Is embraced in the fifth and the
Nova Scotia legislature in 1885, authorized the dele
gates to negotiate the union OF all the provinces but
gave no right TO arrange scheme leaving out New
foundland and Prince Edward Island. This defect
would be cured by the subsequent ratification Of the
delegates acts by the Legislature. Sixth the mpc-
