Such are the poisonous fruits of l,gislatlon on religious affairs, such the dig order which multiply and ext. od from it far and wide ; somewhat like those next- ous weeds with wing seeds which ars waf- ted by every wind wheresoever it blows. It is wino therefore to avoid distant legis- altton on our affairs when the east conveys a warning that such legislation is safer in our hand..—Every .shoo in Europe has tried its daring bend to the same way. Every nation has striven to erect a tower of Babel ; has striven to mould itself into a theocracy, to rule both the affairs of this world and of the next. But they have all through a series of centuries signally fail- ed.

If they hunger, we bave a euper abundance of food and ways to earn ;t.— if they thirst, we open to them rivers un- .erpes.ed in magnificence and unveiled io panty. If they want the earth to till and luxuriate upon, the Queen open to thea ber wide domain. If they aspire to political rights we offer them a ub.•rty, which we desire to p pure and anis pie, and which we are now about to en- large. If they pause and chill at the prnwe poet of ezpatriauon,(who eon wonder at it? ) we cheer them with a people embracing the nations of the earth. Dot this is not all This, alone, to not enough. There t. ano- ther recess of the Inert to be reached -- There is another wound of continental hearts to be healed. In almost every pen tion of the Old World, we find the most fearful religions animosities and awful per- secution,. From those'scenes the people fly. They leave regions here plan- ted with the willow, and shrouded with meatal darkness. Cutting 'sounder the ties of county of friends and relations, and is far mere important than the control of our monetary system. A nation enlighten- ed by knowledge, both human and disine, ever must be, and aver will be, free. Iiut the moment the fetters are put upon the better part of man, and those moral powers are enfeebled, upon which his exaltation de- pends, be becomes fearfully eudaogered.— He must then either submit to grope is the the darkness or languish is the degeneracy of the State; or, if all the noble powers within heave against the direful incubus, he must wade for relief through the blood, the carnage, and the revolutions, which have involved all Europe iu the put, and which are impending over its future destiny, and hope for regeneration. This, it will be said, is not exactly our political or religious condition. We may well rejoice at it.— But it is the very degree of light and know- ledge aid freedom we possess, which en- ables us to regard with concern that ele- ment of evil, wbich wp now desire to be swept away. We must not simply regard the amount, the number of seeming magni- tude of a constitutional disability; but we must regard the principle violated, the se- curity that principle affords, and the evils to which its abstraction may give birth.— Without our wonted precaution against fire a spark despised has kindled a desolating flame. h is the eatingivabmeot of a spark which gives the security.—Ilampden could well afford to pay the '20s. demanded, but bad be and others paid what was demaaded, at the tune demanded, and upoo the princi- ple demanded, they would have been slaves, and that slavery might have descended to us. And whatever a political casuistry may say, to Booth the present and beguile the future, be (Mr. 1iolpb) was not prepared to say what might not be the religious con- dition of this or some coming generation, if this piece of leren is allowed to work, and if our legislation opo n these religious ques- tions is to be merged in the distint, absorb- ing, changing and uncontrollable transatlan- tic power. 'Play only ask, to be sure, for a little supremacy in a small class of cases. So the axe only eked for wood enough to e omplete its symetry and handle; but so possessed,, it became the small but effecient instrument for prostrating the finest forests. —Tbe people of England, and most em- phatically the people of Scotland, have been taught, by Ilistory aid, experience, the importance, the supreme importnnce, of maintaining their constitutional ascend- ancy in their own religious arid ecclesiasti- cal affairs. We only ask them with their usual generosity and justice, to sympathize with our correspoding portion, rights and anxieties. It is just of those powers not to be given or withheld by an arithmetical rule. It is a right which singularly affects and interestih few and a multitude; a little church and a large one; the bumble chapel and the most magnificent cathedral; a So- lomon's Temple and the hermit's shade; Great Britain and Ireland, and progres.ive Canada.

We became of sbffrciest age to enter the crystal relate, and comrprcuous among the productions of all civilized via-- tioss of the earth, were the Canadian exhi- bitionist at the wide worlds fair, and our no- ble friend stands here to -night, who carried] is wheat, for our colonial empire the celo- uial prise—all these happy realities from the eventful past and brilliant expectations of tbe future, we are happy to surmount with Great Britain's Crown. But surely tbis very condition bespeaks the consider- ation due to the coonlilutioo of tbe country — that it should not he pitifully fettered or ignominiously reduced—that we should not have abstracted from n the right of solely judging of our religious faith and ecclesias- tical 'relations—that while we are em- powe'r'ed to dispose of the wild lands ge;e- rally, we shell not be interdicted in the ap- propriation of that portion of them.—It ms desirable that this coecesaion should extend in the most unrestricted sense to all our local affairs. In debate to the British Commons Sir J. Packisgtou declared that his duties were sometimes overwhelming. He might, therefore very properly relieve himself of alt our ecclesiastical and other local affairs. Even allowing that there are risme larger objects visible in the distance, by Dowsing Street, tbere are within remoteprovince innumerable matters regu- lating dhe minute affinities in social reliprtotte relations. which no distant eye can see. A political microscope can be applied only to objects sear it and at borne. Tbe central gravitation of Downing Street, is bot suited to control those mtnuter and more intimate changes which morn properly appertain to local political chemistry. The central pow. er may hold in systematic union the numer- ous elements of the general empire, and keep them within their appointed areas,and wi'hio the limits of their conotitutional or- bits: but that constitutional power would be ttnavailingly expended upon their mole- cular action, upon tbe adjustments of those elective attractions, which variously predo- minate in the different parts of the wide- spread whole. Let England glory in the successful direction of bar mighty energies in maintaining tbe interests of the empire, while each integral part is allowed to be the theatre for the display of its own inti- mate and appropriate powers. Let us, if any one does, attend to our own reserves, to our own churches and their vita! condi tion, as affected favourably er otherwise by the monies raised from us and distributed among them. In thus seeking tbe restor- ating of their abstracted right, we follow the footsteps of the present state. To Englishmen we appeal to favor us in an ad- vancement like their own; that we may grow like 'them, not only in population com- merce and wealth, but also in these political attnbutes, wbich render them pre --eminent among the nations of the earth. We ap- peal to Irishunen that they may remember the days of their infancy, when they could originate no bill, take be initiative in no measure which hall not emanated from the really said, the poor black beetle which we tread upon, feels a pung as great as when a giant dies. Aid Canadian would monist astouch over the funeral obsequies of the Canadian Parliament, as Britons would over the like fate of their more gorgeous parent. We therefore, call upon the peo- ple of England, Ireland and Scotland is their united- Parliament, to Beal the wound our constitution has reeeived--to remove the unjust and painful abridgement of ourlegis- lative functions—to feel • national pride in elevating instead of depressing us --in en- larging instead of contracting, the political iaatitutioas of their fellow countrymen in Canada. Let us remind them by the very draft we now make upon them, that however some may superciliously regard us as a shrub, we bear a fruit not found on many giant trees; that we have sprung from the root%of the rose, the shamrock and the thistfe; that while we are proud of our ori- gin, they may be well proud of their off- shoots; and that it behoves them freely to give us the elements necessary for our ac, climatioo and luxuriant developement in American soil and under American sun- sbioe. it is sometimes cavalierly, said, we want nationality. The Scotch bare their St. Andrew's flay, the English their St. George's Day, and the 'Irish their St. Pat- rick's Day. But, during forty years, be had not known a correspoodtog jubilee for the national character and people of Cana- da. The late American colonies lave their jubilee of the 4th July, coeval with their emancipation from an erring sad uohappy policy. And the magma charter, anoouoe- ed by Simcoe, and further sanctioned by the illustrious Durham; ought to be enough to elevate the feelings, cheer the prospects, and animate the natioaality of Canadians. But against the leiter arid spirit of the mnag- ae charts, we are still troubled with disabi- lities calculated to lower the self-respect ted depress the aspiring etemeuts of Ca- nadian character. It seems as if we migbt be again bond hand and toot by cord- like restrictions on our domestic policy.— We cannot be allowed to legislate freely and unrestrictedly on the clergy reserves ! We cannot be unceremoniously dissap- pointed of Imperial pledges and guarrantecs, as sacred as those national treaties which cannot be repudiated without dishonouring international law and incurtins the censure of tbe civilized world. It is these fetters on our institutions; it is thew, dampers upon our energies, even wbes directed to the all - absorbing subjects of internal iirprovement and of civil and religious rights, which cause our colonial abasement and our colonial in- dignities We eaunot have nationality, we cannot stand up in the attitude and with the action of colonial manhood, under these depressing agencies and these constitution- al inferiorities.
