nothing could obliterate the impression
from his mind, that sot the dregs of society
to Montreal, but the upper orders ware the
instigators of all the infamous seesaw which
ind the last few days disgraced the coun-
try. The Rebellion Losses Bill was made
the scapegoat of this disturbance, and the
changes have been rung to that effect : and
a vast deal of virtuous indignation had bas
expressed against it -but the true cause
and tree object had not yet been stated. -
He was never consulted 'hoot the Reheat
on Losses 8II-he neter'seen it, nor heard
of it, till rets programme was laid on the
table of that House --he was Deter aeked to
support n ; but he considered the matter
deeply -he remembered the misgovernment
of the country had been acknowledged by
Lord Aberdeen, and other noblemen at the
bead of the Colonial Office -he remembered
that Lord Sydeobam, and Lord Durham•be•
(ere bim, had condemned in strong terms
this injustice of the Provincial Go'aeremest,
and he bad tried to understand the true po-
same of the country. He knew cinch was
to be expected from the present Adminis-
tration - be knew _that measures of vital
importance to the Commerce of the country
-the edueaton of the people -their rights
and theft laterite.. were to be brought for-
ward by the Adminutrition. ata knowiag
that these meanies depended upon the par
ty with which be acted, he was determined
to sepport the Bail. The Lill was made
tb..tslisg horse of discontent; but the true
reuse was the altered puttee of England.
The departure of the imperial Government
from protective to free trade principles. -
The departure from protection had opeoed
s gloomy view to commercial men in Cana-
da. And waw their no eeupe from tt. Did
people expect England would again impose
a tax on bread, and again reduce her millions
to starvation to pamper, or protect the in

tiog a few merchants in Canada. That

Montreal, long before the Rebellion Loss

as the only cure for .all our ills. It was.

Ind have talked of it elsewhere, ; but now
for a purpose -loyalty waa the cry -it was
too, a flimsy cloak, thrown over the object
to deceive any one. But disgusting and
hypocritical as the cry wee, It served the
purpo.e of the moment. That the Parlia•
meet building was to be assailed, was
known before the feral moment that it WO.
so arranged, he felt satisfied, and that all
the disgraceful 'noes of yesterday wero

mit of a doubt.
SPEECH OF- MR. HOLMES iN THE
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY -May 1.
Mr. Hotwgs said the hon. member who
bad jest taken hie seat had offered as a sug-
genies to the Administration an adjourn -
meat, in that euggs.tios he concurred,. but
regretted the bon, member bad not gone
one step further: had tbe hon, member re-
commended the adjournment to Q'tebee,
be for one, would have supported it -for
Montreal was no longer, he regretted to
acknowledge it, a fit or proper place for a
deliberative assembly. The scenes which
bed been enacted the last !kw days have
stamped upon the city of Montreal as in-
delible disgrace -a lawless and ;intone mob
had possession of the city, and Vandalism
was the order of the day. Poblic buildings
bad been devoted to destruction and libra-
ries burned after the fashion of ttie barbar-
ism of bye -gone days, while private proper-
ty and persons were no longer safe -moult
and outrage were peremount. Montreal
world IT ages remember its tkdgrace, and
its citizens hang their heads for very shame.
Nothing could relieve them from the damn•
ing deep disgrace which had been cast upon
them- Much had been said in relation to
the rens-and while some gentlemen on
the other side had condemned in strong
language a resort to violence. be deeply re-
gretted to say they had in disapproving also
ad7anc.J excuse*. Whilst he readily ad-
mitted that some had not participated in
their palliatory excuses, there were some
whom speeches tended more to iolsme than
to allay the excitement; and the rallies
who performed these acts of infamy out of
doors were encouraged in their violence. -
The ho. member (er Hamilton had more than
ones enacted to him in • sarcastic style -yes -
he was the party who had answered the gallant
knight on the eeeereed evening of the 25th
April, when he communicated his coviction
from havug that instant returned from his hotel,

of the English population has a grudge

characteristic aversion to violent declaims -

Allan McNab, into a coalition with frontier
American "loafers," and "sympathiser.,"

the -Noatreal Ga:e1te. The absurdities of
the oppovition leaden, and their mob., have
given power to this claw, and they begin
to recognise that the present minsters had
no choice but to carry through this bill.

DOINGS IN MONTREAL.
As far as the disturbance has proceeded,
it bas very properly bees denominated a
"Tory rebellion:' None need sneer at the
term, for it is, in fact, nothing else. It is
an opposition to Government and Law, and
alike denounced by revelation and reason. -
And what is such an opposition but rebel•
lion 1 There SPO only two political parties
in the province -though they may admit of
a subdivision -namely, Tories, and Refor-
mers. The mischievous proceedings at
Montreal could not have been the work of
Reformers, for in that case they would
have been divided age,net themselves, and
hostile to their owe measures, The Tories,
therefore must be altogether to blame; and
we ba,. been the more particular oo this
point, because some affect to beltere, or aro
so ignorant as to assert, that a "Tory re-
bellios" is ridiculous, and a contradiction in
terms. Whoever, by unconstitutional
means, oppose* Government, Order, and
Law, se a rebel, no matter by what other
same he say be Balled.
As we anticipated, the war bas been
on • small scale, and of a roost disgraceful
character. Abroad, it will be magnified
tete • complete outbreak, if not swelled into
a total revolution. Then appears to be a
fatality connected with Tory proceedings:
they cannot do anything but wbat has a
baneful influence on the country at large,
and the effects of this incendiary demonstra-
tion will be felt by the whole Province for
years to come.
Now is the time for every loyal man to
evince his attachment to the Queen's re
presentative, and the members of the gov-
ernment. Addresses of tweet ant confi
dense ought to be got up in every Tenter.

The Toronto riot has been the memos of
immortalising Alderman I)eenison. For
had it not occurred he would. probably, sot
have bad the apportunity of delivering him-
self of the keroic and manly eenument that
were it not for the lav-MacKenste would
be a dead as., and that he would hays no
.eaepunetion, no squeamishness, no testes
of conscience in doing the deed. What
depravity ! No wonder our neighbours
should watch our political movements with
more than ordinary interest, under such an
excited state of things. Alderman Dentit-
ion was cheered, by the rabble in the gal
leryrof the City Council, for the !watery of
his utterance, and the sentiment of his
heart. It was atemuch as to say, " now
boys, you have my liberty, to take his
(Mackenzie s) life. Ile deserves to die, and
that too, at your bands. Assassinate bim
in the darkness of the night. What i, an
Alderman of the City, • sworn Conservator
of the Peace, would do -surely you would
not scruple to do. You will here niy hear-
ty approval to it. and I will absolve you
from crime." This we conceive to be the
only tree inference that can be drawn from
his conduct. The ,Press writhe interest of
that party of which Alderman Dennison is
a warm ally.--belsce little better. They
are endeavouring to stir up and amuse the
very worst feelings of depraved nature -ex-
citing to sedition and rebellion. Owing to
the disturbance made by the Tory Press
asd the violent threats used -all for effect
in England -our neighbour., are actually
led to believe that Canada is ripe for revolt.
liow woefully are they mistaken. it is
after all, only a war of words. The Tories
of Canada, are powerless. Notwithstand-
ing the noire and attempt at excitement,
the affairs of the country so far • legislation
is concerned. never were in a more proms
log state. Never was there a Session of
Parliarotnt, in which so many important
measures were introduced. 'Never waft
these a more facti.er opposition shown, in
any previous Meeting of the legislature,
tbas that displayed by the " aaliSenets"
in the minority. Yet Hills for the regula-
tes of Trade and Commerce. Municipal
Commits, an Asseesmeat and Tariff on an
equitable basin - Fdocation, Emigration,
Railroad', King's College -(the stumbling
Nock of preceding administrations) a bill
for payment of Jurors -a Bankrupt Low -
Courts of Justice, and oth-r Bills of impor-
tance, have wended their way thr3ught ve-
noms stages ie the legislature.
The machinery of government would not
ria than smoothly, if Canada was in the
disorganized onto represented by the Aloon -
min Pres.. We do not think. however,

isgly pmt a (else colouring opo. the ante
