SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALG. Nova Scotia Viewed Politically and Commer. clally-Tho Political Situation—Opposition to Confederation—The Election Cauvass Going on Spiritedly—The * Anties”? Especially San- States Over Union ada—Ex-Rebels in Halifax. - Haurax, N. S., July 31, 1867. ‘The province at this time is greatly agitated upon the Subject of the elections of members for the dominion and local parliaments, Tho two foremost men in this Province are the Hon, Joseph Howe and Hon, Charles Tupper, The latter's aspirations for a seat in the do- minion Parliament are hotly contested by Hon. William Annand, formerly Finance Minister under tho late gov- ernment of Nova Scotia, and for twenty-five years a member of the local Parliament. The former, who was nearly twonty years Prime Minister of Nova Scotia, is now the leader of what is called the Nova Scotia party— & party opposed to the men who brought about confede- ration, and more especially to the means by which it was accomplished. It is claimed that confederation, so far as Nova Scotia is concerned, was carried in opposi- tion to the wishes and fn violation of tho rights of the People. Mr. Howe is well known aga loading, if sot the foremost, statesman in British North Americe. Dr. Tupper for the last four years occupied the posi- tion of Prime Minister of Nova Scotia, He was one of tho delegates to the London conference at which the scheme of confederation was matured. He has had much experience in public life and is » gentleman of ability. He is the leader of the government or Canadian party in this province, and is a capdidate for the dominion Par- {lament from the county of Cumberland. His election will probably be closely contested. The canvass in this province is conducted with great energy and spirit, and each party professes to bo san- guine of saccess, It is quite appropriate at this point that I should take &® retrospective glance at the political situation from a Nova Scotian point of view, aud convey to you, almost in their own words, the a of the tohabitants Union with C Canada, New and Nova iaeqen stand before the world rejoicing in the bigh sounding title of tne “Dominion of ”” with no leas je than a ‘the first inci ish mi and faery bp wah grain England rel yw was done the latter, the wooful effects of which are yet far from being eradicated. Nova Scotia, enjoying a Legislature of ite own, has by peculiar influences been forced or coaxed into a union to which nine-tenths of its population, it is averred, are opposed. In 1864 the scheme of confederation was framed at Quebec by the itatives of the col- onies, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island included. In 1865 the New Brunswick government submitted the question to the noe and it was Jofeated by a two-thirds majority. Prince Edward Isiand rojected the scheme, as did also naw white io Nova Scotia Legislature, through the Lieutenant Governor speech, = —agpand- nn measure to be impracticable. Li ns wick, under pressure brought to bear through Governor ‘who took advantage of the Fenian raid to dis- solve Assembly, alt! the government opposed confederation orn i. was quently to had declared at the hi Prince Edward alt offered an immense subsidy, still keeps clear of the confederacy, while the people of Newfoundiand still vehemently disclaim any idea of entering the “Dominion.” Nova Scotia then, the most valuable of all the ggg od moe d jw im her lot with that of anada. Notwithstanding the country was in the wild- est excitement, and petitions signed by tens of thousands ured into tho Legislature, asking that the measure Teferred to the people, @ change was effected in members’ minds by promise of senatorships, ships, titles, power and the accompanying emolument and a resolution passed gyn a go eer delegates to arrange wi 1 ienperi government a scheme of union of the British North vinces, Government delegates, accordingly, from Cana- da, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (Newfoundiand and Prince Edward istand still refusing to co-operate) Poy ceeded to Engiand, followed by del Appoinegs oa the people of Nova Scotia, to protest againgt ceonttite until it was submitted to them at the no" tional manner. ition signet Oy forty thousand electors of Nova Scotia was jaid at the foot of the throne, hat they should be the burden of whose prayer war inet te tbe aslon, wan —e vain; the ‘lamation vas —_ ail romen ition proclaimed, and ree hundred and any ple were legislated into # distasteful union without The unfairness to the oir consent. province Keyes — is most apparent—in fact an act which would only be equalled were the government of the United States to transfer its self-control to that of England or of France. Might 1s Tight, according to British diplomacy, and the Nova Scotians in their weakness, it may be presumed, will have to suffer, Apart from the injustice of forcing this measure uj the people of Nova Scotia, they are justly to confederation with Canada, There is no natural trade ‘between the two countries. The United States are the natural customers of the maritime provinces, Here wo buy their fish, their coal, their cordwood, their produce of all kinds, and furnish them in with flour, tobacco and our manufactures.
