not commune a the plea. 11e dal out thick
that was as alignment, against the bill ; for
he felt coovssced, that is soy case the [Jet-
versity of Kng'r College would be so .e
penur, that yuung moa wuu1J moon there
in preference to the .mall colleges. Of
course there wail be a cry uf godless cel -
loges here, as there hail been in Englast
sad Ireland ; but It was well known that
the amount of religion taught in the uni-
versities was in fret nothing at a11. thr
lance. Graham 19441 stated openly in the
(louse of Cummoae that he Icaroed no re-
ligion at college. The hon. member for
Toronto (Beeline) declared the whole peo-
ple of Upper Canada wore opposed to this
bill. Ile (31r. 1I.) need, porhape only air
ludo.io reply to the Church of England; of
whieb the gentlemen had constituted bim-
so:f the champion and of religion and mor-
ality. [Laughter.] The hen. member
hero went over the Ep:aeopaeas Members
in the house, and stated his belief that the
majority of thew were le favor of the bill;
so were large n',mbNa of the bfetbudisti,
and of the members of the FrecaChureb.-
Then It wan said that tits was an act of
epu.lation : the real spealatioo took p!ow
years ago, when the endowment, intended
for the *hole I.e•.ple of the `Province, was
se zed . n by the Church of Eagle.d, As
to the tbre:.t held out to Lower Canada, be
would say that the institutions or lids po-
tion of the I'rovince, were none of them in
the same position as King's Cull.ge, being
all endowed by private liberality, or else be-
fore the connee.t, and guaranteed by treaty.
As to the religious inetnlction of students,
he asked whether the learned clergy of the
several denominations in the province
would tot be sufSzicntly anxious for the re-
11gtous ioatarction of their youth to take
care that .t was not neglected, even altho'
this§ bull ehouli Maio -whether they would
not be, at least as anxious on this subject
as the hon. member fur Toronto who had
constituted himself the guardian cf religion

Mr. ROBINSON made a few remarks sup -
pertly: what had been said by the bon.
members for Toronto.
