Tho Confederation Schemo in Par- liamext, &e., &o, Debate in the Canadian Parliament on the Governor Gencral’s Address. ‘Wo extract from the debate in the Cauad‘an Parlia- ment on the Governor General's addr ss, on January 23, the following relating to American affairs and the con- federation scheme:— Mr. Romrastts, in moving the adoption of the address, said:—The position of the pro: ince was peculiar: in tho middle of @ continent which was now wrapped in civil war, we were apt to undervalue the:biessing of peace and freedom which we enjoyed. It wax or duty to maintain these by the olservance of a strict neut alicy in the affaws ‘our neighbors Colonel Hauctsre, im seconding the address, said:— He approved the language of the addrese in condemning acts recently committed on the fronver, a3 outrages which every consideration of honor required us to pre- vent be'ng inflicted upon a neighboring and friendly country. He did not speak as a lawyer, but as a soldier, and he would say without hesitation that he had mo sym- pathy with war carried on in the manner that had been de- scribed. It wasnotwar (Hoar, hear.) If these men had proceeded from their own country and run the risk which they would then have incurred, and sought immunity for these deeds by running back upon their own re- sourees, then he would say is was an act of war; but when they came to a country living at peace with that in which hostillies were progressing, and when it waz by feeking the defence we could give them, that th undertoo thowe acts that we deplored and regretted, then he could not look upon it as honorable wariaro. (Hear.) He was, therefore, glad that the government had taken steps to provent such acts in future, by calling out an effective police force. * * Nover would he be ‘ene to provoke war or by any means to excite animosity between the two countries. He knew too well, and eve- ry thonghtful aan knew what war with the United States meant. The country te which we belonged at one time &e., co pe world in ae against her, and within the ia we evidence our netyhbors were able to do when they were ned to accomplish hen ‘We saw the prodigality and persistency with which they could carry on war when they had an object to serve. He thovght no man of sense could regard war between England and the United States without shadder- ing when he reflected upon the result of it. could not find words to express strongly onough hew terrible would be our condition were we ac war with that count y. ees Syn aan aco the situation was allin favor of ourselves; we formed an integral portion of an exten- sive military and the largest naval power in the world. Our neighbors then had no military and little naval power; but we bad to look at their g eally altered position now, apd he world that every man in Canata appreciated it, Instead of an army of ten thousand or twenty thou- sand men employed against Indians, their armies now wade; cd hundreds of thowande, and tntead of large verale 0/ war, their fleete were now ainoek number lesa. Mr.’ Dorion referred to the calling out of the volun- toors, and said he Looked upon tf ae the ff ct step towards the erection of a standing « my; but whon troops are thus called out be did not see how we could be congratulated, asin the address, upon a condition of profuuud peaco and procperity. He looked upon the summoning uf the volunteers as amneasure of very dovbtfal ulility, Two thousand men for one year would cost the enormous, sum of a million anda half of re, ond what would this half drilled force be against traived armies. that would bo brought eainst them? Or what service would they be it the war tovk place? When the present imiais- ly assumed power there was a trealy with the United States by which they could have only one gunbost on the lake. That trenty was now abio- gated, and we had besides the pas-port system which did much to restrict aud injure our trade. “What had led to this? Why, when the las govrrament took measures to prevent raids tbey were 1 ed by the gen tlenien on treasury beuchcy, and charg d with desiring to create popularity when thoy boldly and [earl sly en: forced the nentrality of the country. «Tue conduct of these gentlemen and their organs in the press, from the Toronto Leader down to the Quebec Ch: onice, bad en. couraged Southerners residing among vs to commit acts for which they would dad tuwunty ia Canada, Tha ‘was the reason the United Etaies bad taken steps to re- Birict the intercourse between the two countrier, Ho then proeseded to consider the question of confederation, and ridiculed the idea that the Hows: should thenk the conference because it had not Coposed Queen toria, but resolved to reco.- nize her authority under the now constitution.

M.

He objected to the recent cailing out of volunteers as useless and as entailing a serious burden apon the proviues, He understood that an atmendment would bo moved for an appeal to the people before adopting the gcheme, and believed a majority of members from Lower Canada would support it. Mr. J. ©. Watskipaz argued they hat no right to barter away their birthright es Bri'ish subjects, The following aro the procecu.ngs in the Canadian Paritament on the 23¢h:— Hon, Jou A. MacpoxALn, the Attorney General, asked leave to introduce a bill for the provention and sup- pression of outrag.# on tho frontier of this province and for other purposes, Hon. Mr. Howton asked the Attorney General to state generally the purport of tho bill. Hon, Jouy A. Macponacp said the frat part of the Dill was to provide a check on those parties who hud found an asylum in this count, y, and some of wiom had abused the hospitality and asylum affo ded them by using Canada as @ base of hostile ope: ations against the United Stotes. For that purpose, sume of the prov.sions of ike Alien act aud the Duperial act of 1848 were proposce to bo introduced to comer on the government power to give notice (0 ceytain persons who had proves bicmsclocs unworthy of the hoapi- tality of tris corintiy by abusing it sor imp oper purposes, to remove from beyond it, Tce were also clauses giving power as to the seizu'e and examination of vessels supposed to be fitted out for hostile purposcs. Some of the causes also ‘of the act of tho Uniied States Congr.e6 of 1838 would be included in the bill. It would be remembored that the United States them stood im procis ly the same cizcumeta.ces with road to ‘aaa as we now stand in with refer nce to ths United States. They found at that timo that tho law of the United Stats was insuificicnt tor checking inroads into Canada, and that vessels were being Utted out to convey hostile troops into Canada. Congress, according- ly, passed an exceptional act to meet those elroum- stances, to exist fur-a period of two yeara The ctr- cumstances were now precisely the same, and ho believed his honorable friends opposite would agree that the present law was insuflic.eut, and that new provisions should bo enacted. fome of the clauses adopted by Congress in 1838 for our protection were now incorporated in this bill for tho protoction of the United States. ‘There wore also clauses providing that, should there bs reasonable ground to suspect parties of boing engaged in the manufacture of arms, ammunition or anything of thatkiad, to be used for hostiie purposes, theve parties should be called to show what they wore manufacturing these arms or ammunition for, and to Pape pha aphaeny rene seegrm proper purposes, fo might state that there were good reasons ior these clausez, as the government knew ‘hat a.ms had been in pi ocess of const, view of bi used for hostile pu poses. Hon. J. McooxsLD was sure Ro member of this Hous: would throw any obsta lo in the way of the ernment paseing any law to enforce the neutrality on- foinea by her Majest;. At the samy time the proposed bill gavo to the goveisinent powcrs hitherto waknow u in this country, and the ghtit sho Id not be urged forward with 5. ch baste as to give ground for the impression that we wero leg slating fom any force or compulsion on the other sido. We should approach these matters with that caim dcliberation which was wortay of # body like this Houze; and, as only ono, instead of two day's notice, as required by’ the rules, had been given, he thought the bill should stand ¢.11 to-morrow. Hon. J.uv A. M Denaip said his Excellency and bis Ministore had thought this matter of suflictent import. ance tu be included in the speech irom tho throne, aud the House fn the:r’addre-s had replied they would give it ’ immeciite attention, and ke ho) object.on A bo waived, Hon. Mr. A. A. Dortox—While he agreed with Hon, Mr. Santeld McDouaid that, wth reference to this matter, the House should act ina dignified manner, and not underany appearance of compulsion, held, nover- theless, that the Aliuietora were respousible for the action to be taken, and probably having cation which other membors bad not, they oug! be the jadges as to when they ought to bring in such @ meseure as this. AS to the objects of the bill, he wag giad to find that the «aaleas co pus act'was not to be infringed upon as had been reporied. Ho thought we should do everything im our power to prevent porsons in this co ntry conpiring against the pence of a nei; hboring friendiy couut part, he would nut object to Uie introducer Hon, 8) xi ato MoDoxsn said be found th a tocit amderstanding yeate the iniveduction of the Dill to-day would ‘not Le objected to, He, thor withdrew his tmodon. ‘The bill was then introduced and read a first time—sec- ond reading to-morrow.
