"There is such a lack of true statesmanship mani- fesied by the Ministry," say eppositionists. Well,- here is statesmanship of an original pattern. Surely no Mall of right-fecling. or common-sense can fail to/be disgusted with such a miserable specimen of opposi• tion tactics as 'lee been shown during the past few days.

La Minerva, newspaper..; What end the opposition have in view nt thus prolonging the debate upon the Address is beyond our comprehension. -- They cannot deny that the best interests of the country are involved in the Speech from the Throne, and yet they quibble and talk against time as though_ desirous of -.'pass 'off and that the House ' would be .allowed to settle down into something like buiiness-like attitude.. Nothing of the kind, however, has -taken. place.- Com- pared with subsequent portions of the ;debate, the virulent, attacks upon Mr: J. •S.
