We once had the power, tho recognised power, of legisla- ting upon the Clergy Reaerres, upon the fund. arising Prom them, and upon their bearing on the religion and churches of the country; and over soy legislation connect- ed with the subject. This poe•er was in innately connected with the peace, we:fare, and good government of the cuu ntry; fur the attainment of which great ends our constituency has bestowed upon us. The power had, however, been taken from us by the 3 k 4 Vic., ch. 70. And we. therefore by the resolutions before the hoose, seek for its raped. -This course, among, others open to our choice, seems, under existing circumstances, the most judicious, and pro- mises to be the most successful. It must be bourne in mind that we ban not only to contend with difficu;ties in our domestic •rens, but with distant and very perplexing obstructions in Great Britain; where, indeed, none should exiet, but where, latterly the, - have, it must be admitted, very much in- creased. And our efforts and appeal will be enfeebled or strengthened, defeated or eonsumated, according to tbe particular course we may pursue at thio particular u t sic air an • Juod r • the he r ••sot slate at P e oft the quesuoo. There re one point upon which we ell agree; that the right to leg,ant. up- on the subject constitutionally, belongs to e.; and cannot be rightfully withheld from sa. It is possible, most assuredly, for us to take several different courses. \we may determine first wbatw, desire, and then ask for its confirmation --or we may ask the British Parliament to tbisb and do for ua in ie the matter, instead of tbiakieg add doing for ourselves --or w• may clam Government hate been mainly iefuenc.d by the consideration that great as would, in their judgement, be the advantages which would result from leaving undisturbed the existing arrangement by which a certain portion of the public lands of Canada are made available for the purpose -of creating a fund for the religious instruction of the inhabitants of the l'rovioce, still, the ques- tion whether that arrangement is to be maintained or altered, is one so exclusively affecting the people of Canada that its derision ouph not to be withdrawn from the Provincial Legisl-it're, to which it properly belongs, to regulate:'! matters concerning the donit•s!ie interests of 'Le l'rovin,e. it has therefore appeared to Iyer .lajest 'e Government that it would be impossible for theta consistently with the principles on which they hare always held that theCor- veroment of Canada ought to be conducted to advise her Majesty to refuse to comply with the prayer attic address of the Howse of Assembly." Such are the assurances of Earl Grey, and the high constitutional prin- ciples upon which they are given. We ask for the repeal on these further grounds, that our past colpnial Bills, instead of being ratified, were disallowed; and that disallow- ance was a virtual reference to un of the question again. In 1544 under the adminis- tration of P. 'Thompson, afterwards Lord Sydenham, a bill was passed by the Cana- dian Parliament intended for the settlement of the Clergy Iteserve question, and trans- mitted to England. It was disallowed, - The British Parliament might have assumed to pass a law to give validity to this bill of 1540. It would hare confirmed the seem - r in a e a w at once as freemen, the sight of tree dootes- tic legislation, if we press., our views for I- ratification, we oec.s..t iy provoke at this entice: juncture, a d:KUMion, a bwt,d..4-m. cuasion, upon nye domeette reg gonad frees we once', imbrueiog the whole g,:er.ioa of ec- clesiastical establiAmeate sad eDJowoleo te, 01 it force upon the British Parliament dl.- tan cession and adjucauo, upon affa.r. •[Wetly local and domestic, Dam ask them to think g wishes of the people, however justly bortive and distasteful it might base prou- d in the end.

It is one thing to give a man his rightful discre- tionary power,, for thempplication of which you are not responsible; it is another thing to volunteer or consent to carry out for him just what questionable matters he may, choose to require. Now we do not ask then' to do or confirm our work, good, bad, or indifferent; we only say, untie our hands, and we will do it for ourselves. Again -if we ask for the repeal of the 3 & 4 Vic., cap. 73, we ask from Earl Derby what Earl Grey has already promised, instead of asking what may be refused, because it has not been before naked and promised. 1Ve have made a proposition. It has been sub- stantially assented to to. The right course now is to call for the embodiment of that Again W Lordship remarks `Uatil every prospect of adjubting this dispute within (8, I'rovince itself shall have been distinctly exhaestrd, the time fur lbs interposition of Parliament will not have ar- rived, unless, indeed, both Ileuses shall con- cur in soliciting that mtrrposition; in which event there would of course be an end to the constitutional objections already notic- ed.' And again :- — r . Church u( lois coustrr, it a su utterly at iaace with the whole course of policy- warwhich it bas bees the object of my des- patches to yourself ('rr J, Colborne) to peracribe, sad 1 cahoot pause to repeal it piton any formal maheer :Iajeaty has studiuudy abataioed from endowing literary or other corporaturne un- til he should obtaio the ad, .e of the Re- preseutahtes of the Canadian people for Bis guidance.' Indeed Lord Glenleg goes the whole length of complying with the public wish for the secularisation of the 1:eeertes. 11e says :- 1t is sufficient to repeat that 11ie Maks- tin Government have adv ised the abaados• meet of the L eaerse., for the amiple rea, son, that after an experience of forty years they have been found not to answer the ea - pec tatiunsenlerlaiwcd at the -time to•• sys- tem was established, but without produei,. any corresponding advantage.' In another desl,atch e( the same date,. Lord Goderich inttoldiue, in detail, scheme for the abrogation of for Reserves, gives instructions fur the repeal by the I. pper Canada Legislature of those clauses o1 the Coostitutiuual Act which relate to the al - rising IN Majesty to refer this question I swi•n'est of a 1'rutestrnt Clergy, and ub- immediately to Parliament, because Ow au- I •'1•l,at to remove all doubts as to the ef- Ibon of the C'onstitutinnal Act hare (leder- feet o1 the repeal; it should -be ell hely ed this to be one of these subjects, in re- provided that the Reserved lands should Bard to which the initiative is expressly re- mimeJiatrlr teat in Iris 3lajraty, and be served • brW b► him, bis ticks, and" eucceseors ed and recognised , e a Jas (allioo'witho the for same manner in rteryrespect as of'the peculiar province and the special cognix- provieioos to he repealed had never been ante ofthr local legislature.' 'a enacted.'• , The country under these circumstances But with a dis•tinct mut+ledge of this in - had grounds for entertaining the highest as- surances of their constitutional safety, and when the bill of 1840 was disallowed, the reference of the subject matter to our le- gislature, seemed the ooly course consistent with official pledges, loo numerous to be for- gotten, and too sacred (one hoped) to be violated. But in the face of all those otTi- cial protestations, the bill of 1810, having been disallowed, the further legislation was retained in England, and the 3rd & 4th Vic. cap. 7S was substituted --the product of a tranwtautie a a imption of an irrespon- sible authority. We ask for its repeal, therefore. because it un.onstitutionally su- perseded the reference of the question back the people of Canada. Again we ask for the repeal oo this further ground; that it has by its previsions outraged public opinion, and even outraged the Canadian bill of 1710. • It rivalled it in that policy of pensioning churches and their ministers, against which we had entered so many so- lemn protests; and those protests had been respected and sanctioned by official r:erres- peudence.--The following extract from a despatch of Lord . deobam, discloses the Veterate opinion m the colony un the subject and with a distinct knowledge of the way in which the Bill of 1814 had been canted, and, assuredly with a distinct recollection of the policy that had been avowed, and time asseverations of atnoerity that "Lad beets made, the British Government carried through Parliament a measure by which the churches of England and Semlaud, com prising at the time about one-third of the population -were assigned about three- fourths of the Clergy Reserves, the remain- ing fraction being offered to the dissenting churches, or heretical churches, or the schismatic churches, er by whatever name you may choose to call them, as unworthy of an equitable division of the spoil.

But I can safely ear, that from some of which, he would read to the so far as this Provinceis concerned, their House. Lord Glenleg, in 1-836, address- assent ran over again be looked for. I es himself thus to Sir F. B. Head:-- ehtertain•oodoubt that the course taken by "Your predecessor and the Council agree in the opinion, that it is rain to expect the concurrence of, the two branches of the lo- cal legislature in any adjustment of this question, and they therefore invoke the in- terposition of Parliament; which interposi- tion the Assembly on the other hand depre- 4 with equal earnestness. 'The chief practical question, then, which at present demands consideration, is whether his Majesty should be advised to recommend to parliament the assumption tc itself of the offee of deciding upon the future appropri- ation of these lands.' Trom this course his Lordship decidedly disseots, and remaaks:-- ' In referring the subject to the future Canadian Lee elsture, the authors of the tulional Art must be supposed to have nplated the eri.ie at which we hare rived -the era of warn and protract - ate, which in a (i-er goTernmest 0157 Ira btI'beeessary precursor to the eat of any great priseiple •fsatisa- ry.

It is a right the exercise of which is reserved for extreme cases, in which ne cesaite at once creates and justifies the ex- ception.' Thus his Lordship not only states the unconstitutionality, but the reason of it. - The language of these noble Lords goes the length of declaring that it is uncoosti- tulional for the British Parliament to usurp a Legislative power which they bare dele- gated members the Assembly in their. gated to a colonial Parliament.
