For half a docado tho now system of governmont has worked well, It is not to bo denied that tho ag- gregato of indobtodness has been incrossed in n shocking manuer ; or that with - union has beon lost that bugbosr—and substantinl ‘bugbonr, Loo—of Canadinn affairs, provious to the yoar 1869, known as ‘* parish politice.” Confedoration hins hnd many drawbacks, has brought with it many dieadvantages ; but, on the' whole, tho poople of tho Now Dominion would never “go baok Lo tho old oxdor of things. Tho experiment hns not been wholly sucoessful ; but tho fault hias heen; not with tho elemonts operatod upon, but with the chemists having charge of tho pro~ coodings, 'The Pacific Railroad scandal, the Ited Rivor rebeltion, tho Nova Bcotia omeute, woro moroly nocidonts. The grdnd progross in matoris al wealth of tho conntry at large, the wider, Drondor spirlt of nationality, tho incrensed confl- denge in tho country's future, nre facts, Aous sommes conlents, 8 our French follow-citizons would eay. Duing tho past weol or two, o movement ling heon started whioh promises to bo only second inimportance, and in the weight of influence it in likely to wield in the futuro, if succeasful, to that of Confederation itself,” It has forits ob- ject tho union, for local purposes, of THE TUREE PROVINGES of Nova Scotis, Now Brunswick, and Prince Ed- word ‘Tsland, The idea of having all these un- der ono Lioutenant-Governor and ono local Leglulaturo is so reasonablo that the marvel is, not so much that it has now been proposed, ns thut it was not successfully accomplishod long ngo. Tho ontire population. of the threo Mari. timo Provinces {8 less than 700,000 porsons, while their extent of torritory is mnot by auy monns large, If united, tho three would conati- tuto o fair-sized Province. Tho gross absurdity of tho- presont’ arrangoment cannot bo madoe Jnoro npperent than by citing this simplo fact: Tywt, to carry on the affairs of local governmont of # population of less than 700,000 persons, there sro now employed threo Licutenant-Gova ernory, reprosenting lHor Majesty Queon Viee toria, and n!mcmn on slate oveasions in knoo- breeelios tittoen Ministers of tho Crown, Liold- ing portlolios, and all haviug by courtesy the titlo of * Honorable;” and ovor 150 Seuatora nnd Represeutatives!

This important question of union came bofore TILL NOVA SCOTIA LEGINLATURE nat prior to its prorogation, Thore was a smart rontest bolweon the Irovincinl Secretary, tho Hon. Mr. Vail, .and tho Mr, G.

Tho resolution was debated \t somo length, and, although tholeadorsof both varties favored it, sn oppoiition was spoedily duveloped in thoe ranks of tho oflico-holding fot~ wils, }t was atonco mado apparont that tho figzht to the contemplated union will come, not from tho people, but from that potty oftico-hold~ ing elass who soein any reduction of public ostabliskments cortnin ‘denth for thoir own smeoure borths, Thewo parties had their ropresentatives on the floor.of the Houss, and thase speedily discoverad thoir tuctics, Onoe in- fatad oid bllnon ot the fleor, and’ spposred willing to keop it till Doomsdny, 1f necousary to tolent tho pasMugo of the resolution.
