-DIE LATE SANDFIELD MACDONALD.
From the Toroito Mctsl
Descen.decl front an old Scottish High-
land family settled there for half a cen-
tury or more, Mr. Macdonald was born
-in the County of Glengarry, on the 12th
December, 1812. Hewes, consequently,
in his 60th tear at the time of his death. •
His younger dems .possessed a spice of
romanee. Early chafing under the re-
straints of paternal control he made
several ineffectual attempts to es-
cape -from hem°. A brief experi-
ence of store life in the country
sickeeed. him . of that callieg, .aial
he readily yielded to the solicitations of
a resident lawyer to give more attention
to study and become a member of the
seine profession _ as himself. At tho age
of 20 he went to school with the well-
kuowm teaeher Dr, Urquhart. Two
years after he ..was admitted a member
of the Law Society of Upper Canada,
studying successively with Mr. lafter-
wards Judge) McLean: and Mr. (now
President of the Court of Appeal) Draper.
In june.of the year 1840 he was called
to the bar, and. immediately obtained a
large practice in the town of Cornwall
„and the surrouncling country. His con-
nection with his. law business he never
closed ; 'and unlike Many lawyers who
have become menabers of Parliament he
amassed e considerable fortune; in no
small degree obtainedfrom. the mercan-
tile community of Montreal, who had
the utnaost confidence in him throughout
his life- a confidence which was never
betrayed, but which, on 'the contrary,
was the means of cementing friendships
of the strongest possible kind. t
When he died, ;he was the oldesereem-
beet of the Canadian Parliament, having
ben first elected in 1841. Since he en -
tend on his public career, he had seen a
totad change in the system of government,
the attempt to rule the could ry by in-
struct -imp from Downiug Streetabandon-
ed ; e Legislative aeion of the two Cana-
d.as formed end seperceded by a federal
union, embracing all British territory on
the continent. ' When he first became, a
member of the Legislature, Lord. Syden-
ham was Governor. • '
' The first • session in which
gr. Maddonald held a seat in -the Legis-
lature, a vigorous protest was made
against this system of governing by in-
structions from Downing Street. The
Legislature, in formal resolutions, claim-
ed the right to exercise a conatitutienal
influeirce over the executive, on all ques-
tions of internal government; also that
headvisers of the aovereign't represen-
tative should preserve the confidence of
the representatives of the people. The
initiative of these resolutions came from
Mr. Baldwin, and the Principles they
avowed accepted reluctantly by Lord
Sydenham; the resolutions were modi-
fied by a member of the_Godeonment so
as to take the shape indicated. In this
school Mr. Macdonald received his first
practical lessons in constitutional govern-
ment. The position he occupied in the
first session when he sat in the Legisla-
ture was no bacl illustration of that in-
dependent character winch marks his
'whole public career. He had been elect-
ed. as an oppositiOn member; eleeted by
a constituency (Glengarry) that was min •
servativedrom its entire adherence to the
Grown during the recent rebellion, when
every thing had been reduced to a ques-
tion of loyalty -; he sYnapataizecl with the
French on account of the violence which
-had been used. against some of them at
the elections, and their exclusion from
Lord Sydenham's united government.
•The Upper Canada Conservatives coal-
esced. with the Lower Canada French;
and Mr. Macdonald as an opposition
member, was known among them, but
attended no party meetings; merely did
what he considered. to be his' duty in the
House, voting as he thought right and
proper.
- Two years later, the principle of re-
sponsible government was not yet so
fully established as to be beyond success-
ful assault, Lord Syclenham had suc-
cumbed to over -work and disease ; Sir
Charles -Bagot, his successor, had gone
to the grave; and Sit Charles Metcalfe,
who had. come from a , very bad school,
and clainiecl the right of consulting his
council only on what he considered "ad-
equate occasions," -and acting without
their. advice when it should please him
te do so, provoked theadministration, at
the head of which were Lafon-
taine and Baldwile to resign; which
event took place in November,
1843. Mr. Macdonald' ' unliesitat,
ingly embraced the cause of the
late Ministers ; on thatissue, he appeal-
ed. to the electors of Glengarry, and was
returned by an increased majority.
Continuing to lit for his old constitu-
orealecute,raiyeir.i 11‘81e4c9c1;onh.aalyclinbgecame Solicitor -
for chiefs of ad-
ministration, Mr. Louis IL Lafoetaine

into power in 1848. In 1851 Mr. Bald-
win resigned office; and the Premier-
ship fell nito the him& of Mr. Hincks,
by wh.om Mr. Macdonald was offered the
position of the Crown Lands. Ile de-
clined the offer, being resolveato take no
offi.ce out of his profession. The year
after this he was elected Speaker, in
whichpositionhe ' contined till the dis-
solution in 1854. * *
111 1858, he was Attorney -General for
a few clays in the Brown-Donon Govern-
ment. He afterwards separated from
the chief of that 0 oyernment on a ques-
tion of fact relating to a subject
of important - public policy, the
Seignorial Tenure abolition. A' pro-
gramme of policy was. • said. to
have been drawn up by the Brown-
Dorion rGoverement ; and among etber

any cordiality between Mr. Brown ad.

There was a truee for a while, after Mr.
Macdonald. had be.come Premier mad At-
toiney-Geeeral in lvlay,'1862. .Mr. Mac-
donald refused to become responsible for
a policy dictated front without ; and in
this spirit of indepeudence, he was able
to hold office on the strength of a very
slender majority, till March, 1864, nearly
two years:a He attained office on a ques-
tion connected with the Militia organiza-
tion ; oeposing the measure of the min-

the expensse it would entail. •
One, feet _kends out with peculiar pro-
mineece :t alm Sandfield. Macdonald was
the (ally Reformer who, since 1854, was
able to.fotm and sustain a strictly Re-
form Government. Others had tried and
failed ; to him duly the merit of imecess
is due. • -
When the future, historian of Canada
Comes to the Confederation era of politi-
cal change he will admit that the choice
of Mr. Macdonald as Premier was a wise
one, ;and that he emply justified the pre-
ference given rto:.rhina on that occasion.
Party strife had been hushed. in 1864 ;-
there was every reason why it should
not be renewed in 1867. -Only the foun-
dation of the Confederacy had. been laid ;
it was for wise master -builders to rear
the superstrueture. Mr. Macdonald,
fully appreciating the situation, refuted
to yield to the persuasions aucl pressure
brought to bear upon him to make his
Cabiaet a strictly party (tee. Confedera-
tion,- he contended, had been brought.
about by a fusion of parties ; a fusion of
parties he wbuld continue. Cataying
out this design he called two Conserva-
tives to his Cabinet, and. thereby incur-
red displeasu res which were intensified
into. hate and bitter atamosities that
were not once relaxed during his four
y el of administration.
he history Of his governmeet, how-
ever aeverely :criticized at the time for
partilen effe,cti is one of which any public
man Might feel., proud. The judgment
of a later time will differ greatly from
this uodeserted contemporaneeus carp-
ing. The Departments were arrangea
with every regard for efficiency combin-
ed with economy. Wise lawstvere plao-
ed upon the statute books. Every en-
couragement was given to settle the waste
lands i!if the Province. • Immigration re-
ceivecaep impetus which largely increamd
the -influx of the eurplus. population of
the -bld WOrld. improvements were
made in the machinery of the law. Le-
gitimate railadey euterprises were encour-
a,ged by generous subventions from the
public purse. In trutlmit may be safely
said, there was no wrong which was not
righted • no *ant which was not suppli-
ed. A large rnajority enabled the Gov-
ernment to carry measures which will
have a lasting effect in the provMce.
There have been many men in public
life in Canada who weratla Macclonald's
equal as a stetesman-some unquestion-
ably his superiers. He lacked breadth
of view ; he was fearful of committing
himself to a Policy which might not meet
with approve ; he not unfrequently car-
ried his ideas of economy to extremes.
His serupulo s concern for the interests
of the people at large never deserted him.
No single act of wrong -doing in office to
serve bis owe personal ends can be charg-
ed against him. His mime is not tar-
nished by even the whisper of a charee
of this character. In his conduct of of-
fice business! he as ordinarily -suave ;
but if unnecessarily urmai to a course
which he disliked he would throw off
restraint and be as merciless as he had
before been gentle. A bluffness of man-
ner, which he would sometimes assutue
for effect; caused hint, on # few occasions,
to be unfairly represented. It was a
rare occasion indeed when he offended

though we do not think it always true
that we should speak " nothing but good.

veil over the errors of one who had many
good qualities. and who serva ids coun-

Mr. Macdonald atruggled long with
physical weaknem. We believe it was
in the year 1854 that he went to Europe,
condemned by his physicians, it was sup-
posed. only to die. One lung was en-
tirely destroyed at that tune, and re-
tnained. closed. Yet for 18 years, • he
not only lived, but labored hard in a
very arduous vocation. His hopeful,
cheerful spirit his courage, and careful
management of his physique, carried him.
through labors under which many
healthy men -would have succumbed.
The indomitable nature of the man was
shown in his continuance in office last
, summer, when brought very low by an
' attack of inflammatory rheumatism. It
Was b.yident then to his phmicians that
continuance in public life would be fatal
to him, yet nothing would inducehim to
give up the contest.

. The last 20 years of his life he was
more or less of an invalid, and this may
have had much t do in souring his tem-

that eccentricity which he manifested
during his later years. He possessed
wonderful power of will, great persever•
ence, and. indomitable energy, aud
though as a public man he had many
faults, yet the country owes him a large
debt for the many valuable services he
rendered it during his long public career;
and it must be edmitted that when he
left the stage forever the country was
greatly his debtor. He was warmly at-
tached to his fri-ends, but implacable to
his enemies. In his private life he was
kind, generous end. hospitable, and ex-
ceedingly liberal -although in public

never led a perty of his own, yet on all
great occasieus through almost his whole

the carom of Reform, and never, to tne

deeply sympathize with his family in

Perhaps the most specially distinguist-
ing iharactenistic of 'Mr. aleedonald s
mind. was his personal independence. • It
is rellated of him that at the age of eleven
he left his father's house at at. Raphael,
in Glengarry, determined to seek fortune
for hi-mself, and although twice brought
back he ultimately . hired himself to a
store -keeper, at a considerable -distance
from, home; for three years, Throughout
all his futhre career this • characteristic
trait will be found the most prominent.
Whatever opinions he -held they were
his own, derived from no other man's
mind, anct they were put into practical
operation also after his o wn fasaion.
Having been employed in a store in
Cornwall, it is said -that the term "coun-
ter -hopper " having been applied to him
by some boys in the street, he made up
his mind t study law. * * *
Mr. Macclonald's mind was rather
critical than creative; and his name is
not identified with any great measures of
legislation. He reformed t e prac
of the courts, however, in some par -
rose and stated. that Mr. Brown himself tieulars ; and in matters of administra-
ageeed to do the same thing, if he had tion he set an example in many respects
been able to. retain power, Mr. Brown worthy of praise, His errors we have

ly, The inference to be drawn is that
the cow had. been drinking immire water,
