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) →
Document Information Date: 1850-11-12 By: The Globe Citation: “Elective Institutions,” The Globe (12 November 1850). Other formats: ELECTIVE INSTITUTIONS. The Dundas Warder has a very unfair critique—it is not a reply—to our article of last week, on Elective Institutions. The more extreme progress papers are singularly guilty of distorting the views of those with whom they differ. They rarely copy the articles, or full extracts, on which they remark, but all their readers, The Times says this, or the Sun declaims against that, or the tendency of the Standard’s article… Read more “Elective Institutions,” The Globe (12 November 1850) →
Document Information Date: 1850-10-31 By: The Globe Citation: “Elective Institutions,” The Globe (31 October 1850). Other formats: “ELECTIVE INSTITUTIONS.” The grand hobby of the republican agitators is the cry of “Elective Institutions—Elective Institutions.” With these people, Elective Institutions are the wondrous specific destined to cure Canada as by magic of all her ills, and make every man, woman and child in the country rich and happy. It is to be remarked that we are never told what are the ends to be achieved by these said Institutions—what abuses now existing,… Read more “Elective Institutions,” The Globe (31 October 1850) →
