Sale )&SU second Speech Ol ths Administrator, who has appropriately sunk down from the Throne to the Chair ! Gentlemen, the constitution of tlu< Province is in danger, and all the bles¬ sings of social compart are running to waste. Forthre^ years the laws havej been thwarted, and set aside bv execu- 7 * •ire power;—for three sessions have your Legislators sat in Assembly, and! tfiven sanction to the monstrous—the hideous, abuse. A worthy catastro¬ phe has closeG this farce of government: —your Commons and your Peers have 'tuarelled, and, the latterwould assert, that the constitutional charter of Cana¬ da may be trifled with. What is to be done ? Do you expect any thing from a new Governor ?—you will be disap¬ pointed. Do you .expect any thing from a new set of Representatiees ?^i here again you will be deceived. Your Members of Assembly are now at home : compare their characters with those amur.d them, and you will find them equally honest—equally wise— equally independent. Now, that they are returned to society, as private in¬ dividuals, 1 should be the very last man to call in question their worth or their probity : they are probably every way above par. It is not the men, it is the system which blasts every hope of ;;ood ; and, till'.he system is overturn¬ ed, it is vain to expect any thiug ol va¬ lue from change of Representatives or Governors. It has been the caut of time immem¬ orial to make mystery of the art oil Government. The folly of the million, -Mid the cunning of the few in power, h ive equally strengthened the reigning [belief j but, it U false, deceitful, siud ruinous. The people of every nation, may at any time put down," either do¬ mestic tyranny, or abuse,—they may at any time,h) a simple f uudation for public prosperity : they have only to \v: honest, aud. in their honesty, boid. In n^ lust address to ^ou; | said, 'nch Petitioner, It u going out of bounds to reckon r»u ' -r\ thousand petitioners, and a dollar frt>m leach would make up a <um adequate • for every charge. I should rccoinm- d the subscriptions and payments to coin* mcuce at the first Township mee*': --, the money fo be paid to th*4 Cl&rlc*. who should keep iu hand one seventy for local and incidental di-bur^ein-'ii^i and pay ovei the remainder to a T~-a« surer, to be appointed in each DutrioL bv the Representatives, at tin-:r i:rs| meeting. Beyond making choiije of Representatives and Clerk1-*, Tiie less that is dune at Tovv.iship nteetings rh« better; debate, of all thing3,shoul be avoided. The Clerks should minofs transactions, and keep a list o** the subscribers, which shoi M immediale|y> be published in the nearest iY«w^pHp* p within the Province, and, week nftefr week* io the tame manner, should ho reported, additions. The public wvuli thus, at once see the strength Sc groula of the cause, as well as have vouchers for the payment of cash. Every transT artion should be plain, downright, and open to view or inspection,—every principle should be (fept&red—eygcy proceeding be made ke.oun. The simplicity of all thia, and ths ease wit|i which it may ne s^compljih- ed, is obvious ; togo into more nnuu'e detail at present would be wasting time. No mair, by joining the cause, can lose more than a iMlar-j and no r*« spoustbiiity whatever is incurred. As I take upon mo to nqme the day of Meeting for this Township of Niagara. so that Meeting may appoint days fop the meeting of ruber Tcwfldhipf, aud- for the district meeting ; seeing, thaj it can be matter of noconseouence wha settles such points, provided the uwsU neas thereby has a fair chapca of con>? menc.emeut, and that th* whole systeei of petitioning may proceed wifho.f doubt or delay.
