Gentlemejs : — Many oxpiessioiis go to no
purpose, hut in speaking ol individualci who
are styled statesmen, some little reflection on
the old maxim, meabiuis not mm ' should,
I think, be the chiel proof to account lor the
consciousness of the person who substitutes
statcsmaji lo the individual instead of <ome
nio.e ; n t; !>!. ap[)ellation. Such. 1 regret to
sa}', is the mi.'^carriage (>f ilie press and the

Oll such ^echoes are the people,
a .1 a> i! e.e is nothing impossi})le to indus-
try, the people of* Canada may not onlv cease

to pass on these echoes, but der^lare they have
ever been without a statesman.

A. conscious impression is the first move
to be made by any one in order to arrive at
a proper conclusion. The origin of anything*
may be the place of begining,the mind being*
centered there shows the subject is not fic-
ticious, and part of the conclusion is obtain-
ed Then let us arrive in British North
America for the first time,we ar« conscious of
being here. Did we light like a balloon, to fill
up and leave again ? Then let us consider
the migratory expression of the Canadian
p(^ople and consider its cause.

We have a recoguised House of < ommoiis
in England, we have and we haven't ii re-
cognised one in Canada which v\\* all admit,
therefore a statesman in C-antKla mav ih t
get a conscious impression to arrive at a pro-
per conclusion, which is absurd. The clear
mind of the foreigner must have a shad«»\\ y
opinionof Canada's abstract, which accounts to
a great extent for the rapid growth of the Un-

itedStates A fnrtherexplanation of our system
of g)vernment, like virginity, is as ina(*ces8ab!e
as the Island of St.Branda,and closes the school
of inquiry by suggesting the pott ntially in-
finite, or a long look across the Atlantic If
we are in a position to^'domand representa-
tion in England with like indemnity accord-
ed their members, being recognised owners of
the British Empire. I say'you representa-
tives ol the Senate and House of Commons
at Ottawa, dissolve and remain dissolved.
Such adissolution woubhvsult in our having
the cheapgoods and comforts of the Old World,
her reputation and imigration. 1 have no
doubt, however, that if < anada were cut out
of the earth like a slice from a pound cake,
we would find Canadian ministers or oflBcials
of the Canadian Pacifi • Railway to n\)iesent
ihe perpendicular sidrs rnther than sacrifice
their auspicions circnmstuiices and believe in
the attraciion of gravity, then run chances
ol their lights being put out in conferring
with members ol the British House of Com-

inons. n»»si(l('N th(» nttontioii oi' the '.."oth«»r
Couiiti'v ill dccoiatiniir the livis niul tombs
ol' oar 'natives and statesmrn is one ol* the
impartial initiations ol' her ability to holj)
