question, as Mr. Baldwin .hewed. After

not* itti.tai.dlog the d.fficulteed tbrown in

were prepared to legislate during tee very

compelled to resign office. All the details
of their scheme fell into the possession of
tlseir successors, and were acted upon bar
them. The very reductions Which D1r.
Cayley had the audacity to take credit for,
were, u ho well kuowe, recommended by
bre predecessors. As to Mr. Christie, his
resolution* were introduced at a throe when
there was no Administration, and here in

acting on this principle had he been in the
Government, bo would have turned out Mr.

Mr. cDonaLD [Glengarry] thought it
very eatiefactory to have such an authority

of the principle that subordinate officers
should not he allowed to oppose the Govern-
ment, because It was weir known that one

had the high authority of the hon. member
for Toroalu that this was • proper course.
It was particularly satisfactory to find that

Mr. C spoke at some length, and
alluded to MrGall's opposition to him in
