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 aria Mr. Ratiere, Bald.win, -whom the cur- rent of public, opinion had again carried. 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 thingsmit is alleged, there was an agree- ment to abolish -the Seignorial Tenure of Lower Canada, and compensate the Seig- nors foretheir losses.

There never was any cordiality between Mr. Brown ad. Mr. Macdonald after this occurrence. 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- yi istry of the da chiefly on the ground of 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 aeainst the' proprieties. As a public ernotasoets Ltn.e..RY, CLMTON. 2` OFFICE, -AT COAEVERCL,..t. HOTEL.

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. From. the triamilton TiMea. . 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- per, and may have produced much of 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 life be sometimes (in small things) car- ried economy to the vesge of peuuriouti- nem. The fact is, his great hobby, if we may use the term, was economy in the public expenditure. He was not emin- ent as a lawyer, though a most success- ful one; neither was he a great states- men, thougb. he rendered many and. im- portant services to the State as a legisla- tor. Owing to his peculiar views, he never led a perty of his own, yet on all great occasieus through almost his whole lite, he identified himself intensely with the carom of Reform, and never, to tne last, identified., himself with Conserva- tism.
