but it could tut \u2018he justified after the necessity ceased.Vowever the British Parliament did at that periud'forget the indeleasible aght of British subjects, clamuny snd exercising the power ol taxing and legislating for the Colonies without their consent.A civil War wa- the consequnce 3 and the claim of taxafçon'was re- pounced by England, The Act ol 1773 was passed, This famous act which way be called the magne char a of the Pruvince and \u2018Colonies, This act sole:nn, perpicunus, unequivocal, sweepiog,reuounerd all taxation whatever in the Colonies, ackuowledged the right assented by te Colonies of an immunity fiom all taxation save what should be imputed by there wn representatives, I'his Acl came loo lats to avert the approaching catastrophe: but it was nevertheless a wise und _uo- ble Act.A great nation did thereby make he amende honorable to violated principle 5 and not- willslaudeng the sensiiiveness of ity pride, dil eradicate with firmaess from its system a strange clement \u2018of future disorder and ruin.The '1eply of Denis would have us believe thal his Act of 1778 can have no influence on the Act of 1774, 'becance the latter is concetned ondy with \u2018taxes raised in a colony for the sole purpose of de- fraving the expenses ol the Civil Government lhere- in, and the memurable Actof 1778 related solely to the levy of monies in the colonies and plantations for\u2019 \u2018the purpose of being taken out of them towards the \u201ccommun défense 6f the Empire.Intimating that the British Parliament, neither by ihe language or the.motive and object of the Act of 1778 (18 Geo.VIL.) senounced the claim to a right of taxing tue colonies for ihe maintenance of their government, and of dis- going of their tixes at discretion for this objcel, to the exclusion of any consent or cuntroul on the part \u2018of the Representatives of the Colonies paying these Taxes.We do uot hesitate tn declare that such a?construction of the Act of 1778s a ludicrous de- \u2018fance of nolorivus facts, of the common sense of mankind, \u2018of the understanding of the British Legisla-, ture, andl of (be most explicit and unambiguous expressions that ever ware employed.The gicat principle for which the Colonivs contended was an inseparable Union between Legislation and ftepresen- ation.He must be a very di-ingenuans ur a very\u2019 ignorant man who would assert \u2018that the Colonies ad anitted any right of faxativa on the part of England ; or that great uneasiness and discontent were not cre- sled amongst thew by any attempt at taxation by the Briush patliament let the object be what it might.) With sezard to the restraints on the power of legislating for the Colories by the British Parliament, the.first and greatest of the Put\u2019s entertained an opinion far short of that entertained by the Culonies ;: ang whe wrens 2 RE Chiingiis of America re presented in their Assemblies have alone the right of giving and granting (heir own moneys on all other \u201csubjects you may legiclate \u201d On this principle the) Act of 1778 was framed.That Act we need not re cite, is sufficient to say that it is entitled \u2018* An\u2019 Act to remove all doults and apprehenrions concern ing taxation by (he Pariiament of Great-Beitain in any of ihe Colonies ;* that il recites that \u2018the taxing, the Colonies and raising a Revenue in them by the British: Fartiamneut had been found by experience to accasion great uneasiness and disorders: and that it declares ** that the Parliament will not thereatter impose on the Colonies in North America \u2018amy duty, las, Or aswéssent whatever i\" making one exception as lo such as way iucidently arise the regulation of Trade, and wbich are to he at the disposal of the Province or Colony in such a manner as their other taxes.There is nata language which can afford terms more Fadically destraying all and every claim on the part of the British Parliament to raise a Revenue or levy taxes in the Colonies, \u201cI'he \u2018Colonics notoriously re- shied all Taxation, save by their own Representatives, Jet the object be what it might.Great men in Vhe Britieh Parliament who fell shoit of their opinions yet declared that their Assemblies alone could give and grant away that money ; ominous diverders created Ly 8 claim to tax them otherwise than by their Own Aremblies were to be appeased by an explicat genwnciation of that claim ; a law is framed for thal object aid the law to altain (hat happy object dues in terms the most explicit declares that the British Parliament will impose on their Colonies in future, * no tax, duly, or acsesstnent whatever ;\" and fur .ther exorjitr a case which by force of the exception gives lo the law a more compreheusive and unlimited - megative to every Act of taxation besides, Yet note wilistanding all hese circuwsiances the Authors of .v \u201c SN ul \u201cenough to 2t-] that this Act 30 expressed'and so intended, with allits cireumeian-, ces and bistory, reserves to the Britiste Parliament a direct\u2018power-ul taxing tha \u2018Colonies \u2018to a great extent; that \u2018in order to ailvy disorders.apprehensions, ad disconterits arising fiom a dim to a right of taxing, a low \u2018was made which resetvell » right of taning tn- \u2018iimited and at discretion ; that when the British Parlament In order to \u2018couciliate \u2018declared by this law that their taxing the Coluntas \u2018produce! greal disor.lers, and that (herefore Yttéy would not in future impose on them any duly, tay, or ascessment what ever,\u201d they truly meant that they would impose every duly.lax, or asessmenl they pleased in the Colonies for the support of {he toca! gwernments therein, with Haut the consent of the Colunies; and would, accord img to their pleasure, distribule them amongst their minons, fram whatever climate or country imporled ; withuut any contra] by the Colohies fran whuse property such tases ware severed ! We will leave the Author to the enjoyment of the luxury of eucl, nonsense.and we will consider the act of the 18th Geo, 111 (1778) as being the work of rational beings, and intended to influence rational be.mgs, ad as meaning what \u201cit unegmvocally expreres\u2014 sed.namely, the acknusledgment in Colunies having representative bodies of the tight to immumry from all taxation whatever (sve speak not of that incidentally ari-ing (rom commercial regulations) by any power, save their awn representatives in their Assem blieg.This Act wns be considered not as conferring any new privilege, hot as acknowledging and declaring an original right inherent in every British sub ject ; making an essential part of the Briti-h Constitutional Monarchy 5 and overruling all acts incousist- ent with it.We now \u2018came to \u2018the'constitutional Act of 1791, and we shall find that it recounizes and Supports the ovenuting eflict of the Act of 1778 : but before we examine 1 wath reference lo This print we must dis= play avsher instance of the narrow incompetent views of Deis the Ruthor of the Reply, and ol his mslevolence towards our fier constitution, ++ The constitutional Act ** says he\u201d is exprossiy to enable the Kmg with the 1.gislative Conncil and A-sembly te make Laws tor the Peace, Welfure, and good Government of the Proviuce i and having thus stated these legitimate objects of the constitution be imme diately intunates with an incoherence which can alone be accounted for by a confounding soreness snd ini- tation directly (elt er sympathetically operating, that the constitution is msapplicd when ity powers are used for the remedying of abuses, the redressing of grievances, and the allayime of discontents.In the same strain of mental disorder in which he pronounced on the Act of 1773 dues he pronounce on om constitution.According 1o bis political.didacties our constitution is tv sécure the peace, but must not allay di~contents ; it is lo establish good government.but must not remelly abuses it way promote our wellare, but must not for the world redress grieve ances ! it must altain the object, but all the means are sacred from its touch ; it conprehends the genus, Lut exteads not ta a single \u2018spedes ; It was to affurd a subject on which Denis shoulc display bis singular qualities of stateman and lugiciar ! But let us consider lor a monet the constitutional Act\u2014with the declatatory Act of 1778 before then\u2019; with a full Knowledge of the imnunity claimed.not as a recent acquisition, but as su inherent, original, indéfeasible right, and solemnly Jlowed ; the Briti-h Parliament.as it sas bound of rizht to do, establich- ed in Canada a Representive Lody, and, with (ull notice, furnished us with the orgar'to which re were as British Subjecis-entitled, and by which all our rights depending on representation wiglt be exercised.That this charter amply acknowledged and pave the most abunilant extent to the right declared, not cone ferred, by the Act of 1778, a few words wil evince.By its tenor and spint it conveyed so etlensive a power that Mr.Piet felt it necessary fo decree to England by a special clause (46) the right \u20ac regnla- ting commerce contaived in the Act of 1778.This $Gih clause in the constitutional Act recitesthe 18ib Gro.11, (1778) renouncing on the part of England the practise of taxing the colonies except inky far a- might be incidental to the regulation vf canmerce, and acknowledging in the cdlonies the right of disposing of their taxes in all cases, and then declares \u201cthat nothing in this Act of 1791 shall extend or be construed tu extend to prevent or effect the esecution of any Law which hath been or shall at any lime be made for imposing duties for the regulation of coun merce & such duties to be applied by the Provinces.\u201d \u201cI'tns clause distinctly implies that the principls of self taxation inherent in sll British subjects, declired by Le nf \u2018 \u2018ne ] > hich the 78, aud dectared a new hey the Ac vesleagerrs emsso\u2026is aÎuet vety Act which Jad Leen made for Ye posing dugies ; and that consequently the Commercial Regulation Power as far as the imposing of duties might be eon cerned could only be saved by a special cline.The Act speaks thas, © We are giving you a representative constitution, your birth right; it is an organization by virtve of which yone original indefeasible right of paying no taxes but those you give is put 1n- lv operation ; duties that have been imposed on you by us for rai-ing a revenue without your consent are, now without your consent or acquiescencs, exlinct ; to this we object not.But duties may ba necessary as arising incidently from Acts the object of which is not to raise a revenue but lo regulate commerce.\u2014 The power of regulating the intercourse of Trade\u2019 between\u2019 all the parts of the Empire we reserve to ourselves whatever duties have been imposed for this object alone fall not within the power which respects Acts of revenue\u2019; but whatever duties way arise under these Acts, hall, like the other taxes you pay, be at your disposal ! a Such is the construction and tenor of \u2018he Consftu\u2014' tional Act; and on such principles the taxes of 1774 taken wut of the pockets of the people are at the disposal of the representatives of the people.A \u2014\u2014\u2014 FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES OF LOWER CANADA, 5, (Continued fromthe Gazette of fhe Sh Deer.1624, and from the Spectator of the 15ih Deer.)
