On the Intention of the Imperial Government to Unite the Provinces of British North America (Classic Reprint)

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from On the Intention of the Imperial Government to Unite the Provinces of British North America The publication of this work, has chiefly originated from the following circumstances: Public opinion, as to the conduct of the Honorable Legislative Council of the Province, having of late years, from various causes, sunk to a very low ebb, so much so, that the Honorable House of Assembly was at length led to propose and carry out the very extraordinary measure, namely, that the constitution of that branch of the Legislature should be shorn of the high honor it had hitherto possessed, of being nominated by mandamus of the Crown, and that it should be now rendered elective. The author of the present work, feeling, and Being convinced that any deficiency in the energy and zeal of they Legislative Council of the present day, is not a sufficient reason for depriving the future of the Province of a constitution which had been founded on the well tried one of the British Nation, and which has hitherto preserved the union of these Provinces with the powerful empire of Great Britain, and thereby secured the permanency of their prosperity under that constitution. The author proposes, therefore, in this work, to support these opinions, and to shew in what manner the Legislative Council could be brought sufficiently under the influence of public opinion, without depriving it and the Province of the high honor it has hitherto possessed of being nominated by the Crown. This forms the first part of this work. The second part contains the plan for the future representation of all the British North American Provinces in the British House of Commons, which the author believes the present advanced and advancing condition of the Provinces requires, would be the most conducive to their welfare, and would meet the wishes of both sections of the Province.
