 (Carried forward,) 
 
 It is curious to witness tho sudden 
 change in the political creed of tho to- 
 ries ; from opposition, from '« war to the 
 knife," to use Mr. Draper's emphatic 
 expression, to the support of responsible 
 government. As is usual in such cases 
 they outstep reasonable bounds, & jump 
 from one extreme to the other. Until 
 within the last three months, it was, in 
 their view, next to high treason for re- 
 formers to advocate Justice or Constitu* 
 tionality, and there was no epithet in 
 their vocabulary too bad or too infamous 
 which the Reformers did not in their o- 
 pinion, justly merit. 
 
 But now the scene has changed, Sir 
 Charles Metcalfe has said " presto," and 
 lo, we see the whole tory party suddenly 
 exclaiming — Responsible Government, 
 for which Reformers ever contended and 
 at length won, can or will work satisfac- 
 torily in Canada-^and so now say the 
 tories. 
 
 Whilst therefore we ought rather to 
 rejoico in this addition to our strength, 
 nominal though it be, we must not de- 
 ceive ourselves by ascribing sincerity to 
 these ■-' derations, nor must we suppose 
 for oii6 I .oment that the tories really do 
 mean what they pretend to profess and 
 would wish U3 believe. Depend upon it 
 they are playing a deep game *-"i*h us, 
 and whilst they would lull our suspicions 
 by the apparent advocacy of Responsible 
 government, they will at the same lime 
 wrest it from us. They see that the 
 great mass of the people are determined 
 to enjoy civil and religijus freedom, and 
 
 icy llicrciuio iviIutt lllal •» ,."«... ., — 
 
 folly in them to attempt) by an honest 
 party opposition, to pr rmit its full intro- 
 diictron and operation. 
 
 At the same time one great point has 
 
 been gained by the Reformers ; for what- 
 ever may be the objects and intentions 
 of the tories, they have now forever pre- 
 cluded themselves from the benefit of 
 openly opposing Responsible Govern- 
 ment. They have bound their party to 
 it by acknowledging its juftice and neces* 
 sity, and the only hope which they now 
 can possess for its overthrow, lies in de. 
 ccption and fraud. 
 
 I think it scarcely necessary for me 
 to say that in this they will fail. To 
 succeed they would require to have to 
 deal with ignorance or inactivity, but 
 inasmuch as neither of these qualities 
 distinguish the people of Canada, so 
 therefore will their plans and intentions 
 assuredly be frustrated. It might at one 
 time in our history have been a compar- 
 atively easy task for them to have im- 
 posed upon the people, but it will be ex- 
 ceedingly difficult now, in fact impossi- 
 ble. There is too much intelligence 
 and independence and real patriotism 
 spread abroad, to allow of even a hope 
 of such a result. The dread of past 
 evils and sufferings is too vivid in the 
 mind of every inhabitant among us to 
 permit even one man to be led astray 
 from the path of rectitude and honor. 
 The duty which the people owe not only 
 to themselves, but to succeeding genera- 
 tions is so obvious, and is so strongly re- 
 cognised that whoever attempts to wea- 
 ken it, or otherwise render it less bind- 
 ing, cannot fail of meriting overwhelm- 
 ing disgrace. 
 
 It would take twenty five years Rnd 
 four months to count out in sovereigns 
 the amount of the National Debt of Ej^g- 
 land, counting at the rate of siitjr per 
 minute, or ono every second !
