THE Wellington Independent Tuesday, October 4, 1859. DISSOLUTION THE ONLY REMEDY.

When- Mr. Fox clntllengcl the Radical majority totum out the Superintendent by means of a resolution to the Governor, instead of the Suicide Bill, it was received with the most unqualified approval by a crowded gallery ; an approval which has since bedri endorsed throughout the Provincei The fallacy of supposing that the . Council had no remedy against an oppose ing Superintendent, became at once ap-; parent.' Their powCtKtjf dissolving the Superintendent— of sending him about his business lit five minutes notice—w<l3 at once seen to be a means of control, guaranteed by the Constitution, and quite , sufficient foi' every purpose; " You can remove hint by & simple ref solution, any moment you please," said Mr. Fox, " why don* you do it—theres enough of you surely, ydur Is. to 9?" This was a bitter' pill to the radical majority. They were a long while before they could summon up courage to reply to it at all, and knowing they were seeking for an unconstitutional remedy while there was a constitutional one already provided, their excuse, -when it did come, was necessarily of the most impotent character. They know that their application for the Superintendent's removal would result in a general election, and they are afraid of an appeal to the people. They were not so once. They could get up monster meetings and cajole their followers to petition the Superintendent, for instance, to abandon the reclaimed land; but they know that the people have found their honied smooth flowing professions, to be very gall and wormwood iri practice:

Thia power to remove the Superintendent and the Council's refusal to avail themselves of it, is a subject the Radicals tried to ignore altogether. The Spectator entirely omitted all reference to it in its report of Mr. Fox's speech, and this omission is the more significant, from the proprietor of that paper, (who is a leading radical member) doing his own reporting—being provided with a special table for that purpose in the body of the House. Although reporting Mr. Fox's speech at a length of three quarters fo a column, perhaps the main argument— certainly the most telling at the time— is wholly omitted. If the report of the debate had been left out altogether, it could not have proved more clearly how convining the radicals linew the argument was and how very much chagrined at it they really were, as tending to show their fear of being known anything that would hasten on a dissolution. What, however, the Radicals are afraid of seeking, the people must determine they shall find. A dissolution the Radicals dread—a dissolution they must be made to swallow. A dissolution they refuse to ask for— ■& dissolution the people must demand* Nothing but a dissolution will restore progress and prosperity; anything short of it will only continne the present stagnation: Which shall it be—a dissolution with " FeatherstOfy progress; and prosperity," for our watchword: Or shall we remain content with dur present political condition, with " Wakefield, deadlock, and stagnation".for an appropriate motto? Electors and inhabitants of every district in the Province it is for you to reply. Do so by signing the memorial now being circulated, and of which the following is a copy.
