BY TELEGRAPH. QUEBEC, August 25. Last night after the reporters left, the debate on the Address was continued until the adjournment of the House. No vote was taken. Mr. HINCKS spoke at great length on the state of the Province, and defended the government. He said that the House would see, from a despatch to be laid before it, that the English Government… Read more Province of Canada, Legislative Assembly (25 & 27 August 1852) →
Document Information Date: 1852-08-21 By: The Globe Citation: “Correspondence of the ‘Globe,’” The Globe (26 August 1852). Other formats: Correspondence of the “Globe.” No. III. QUEBEC, August 21st, 1852. The Royal Speech is just such a document as might have been expected from the present Government. Composed of elements so diversified, and representing political sections so discordant, it is matter of wonder that Ministers found so many points on which they could all agree to speak harmoniously. Truly they have made the best of their position; and were their troubles… Read more “Correspondence of the ‘Globe,'” The Globe (21 August 1852) →
Document Information Date: 1852-04-29 By: The Globe Citation: “The Legislative Council,” The Globe (29 April 1852). Other formats: THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. To the Editor of the Globe. SIR,—I observe with much satisfaction that you are opposed to the attempts about to be made to change the Legislative Council into an elected Assembly. There is something in the a proposal of changing a body from the choice of the Crown to the [illegible] people, which at first sight commends itself to the liberal mind. [illegible] assumed its real character, which you… Read more “The Legislative Council,” The Globe (29 April 1852) →
Document Information Date: 1852-04-29 By: The Globe Citation: “An Elective Legislative Council,” The Globe (29 April 1852). Other formats: AN ELECTIVE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. We give a letter on the inexpediency of making the Council elective from an able correspondent. We observe a great deal of comment on the subject in the Reform journals of Upper Canada and although there are some prominent exceptions we think that the verdict of the liberal press against the proposed change. Some have one scheme and some another, but an elective Council for six of… Read more “An Elective Legislative Council,” The Globe (29 April 1852) →
Document Information Date: 1852-04-13 By: The Globe Citation: “An Elective Legislative Council,” The Globe (13 April 1852). Other formats: AN ELECTIVE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. We are glad to observe that the contemplated ministerial measure, to make the Upper House elective, does not find that favour with the Reform press which we feared it would; also we earnestly hope the Ministry may yet be induced to give it up. A writer in a Western paper says, that in favour of making the Council electives, “little need be adduced.” And why? Because—“a settled… Read more “An Elective Legislative Council,” The Globe (13 April 1852) →
Document Information Date: 1852-04-08 By: The Globe Citation: “The Canadian’s Independence,” The Globe (8 April 1852). Other formats: THE CANADIAN’S INDEPENDENCE. Our Hamilton cotemporary says we refer with “apparent triumph” to his claim of “independence” in his Prospectus, and reads as a homily on “extreme views of political independence.”—We can assure him, he gives us credit for an interest in his position, to which we were by no means entitled. We will be content to try his words by their plain meaning, without seeking to know the hidden causes which… Read more “The Canadian’s Independence,” The Globe (8 April 1852) →
Document Information Date: 1852-04-03 By: The Globe Citation: “An Elective Legislative Council,” The Globe (3 April 1852). Other formats: AN ELECTIVE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. The proposed alteration in the construction of the second branch of our Legislature, has attracted some attention from the press, but has not received that close examination which we anticipated. A number of our cotemporaries seem determined for the change, right or wrong; and two or three of them, we observe, attack the Globe bitterly for opposing the movement—though they make no attempt to meet our objections.… Read more “An Elective Legislative Council,” The Globe (3 April 1852) →
Document Information Date: 1850-11-21 By: The Globe Citation: “Republican Tories,” The Globe (21 November 1850). Other formats: REPUBLICAN TORIES. Our poor contemporary the Hamilton Spectator! Our editorial heart is wae for him! The fabric of his once powerful party is crumbling to atoms—the aristocratic High-Church Tory is bidding against the Republican Clear-Grit for popular favour, by the concession of the most ultra political theories—staunch old Troy papers are going over to the enemy—and the poor Spectator is about to be left alone in his glory. A sad wail is that… Read more “Republican Tories,” The Globe (21 November 1850) →
