How will Mr Coleman avoid the involving the Parliament into prelatical guiltiness by his principles, which we avoid by ours? The prelates sought great things for themselves rather than to purge the church of scandals. Mr Hussey will have ministers placed “without any regard to the allowance or disallowance of the people,” Epist. to the Parliament.
Without waiting to hear Durham's defence, or to consult with him as to the course which should be followed, the Cabinet weakly surrendered to an attack of his personal enemies. Durham was betrayed in the house of his friends. The news of the disallowance of the ordinance first reached Durham through the columns of an American newspaper. Immediately his mind was made up.
The High Commissioner, who had been granted such great powers, was held to have exceeded those powers. Durham belonged to the caste which felt a stain upon its honour like a wound. The disallowance of his ordinance by the home authorities was a blow fair in the face. It put an end to his career in Canada, by undermining his authority.
With an unthinking disallowance for the action of time, she had been expecting a young fellow of eight-and-twenty, brown-haired and ruddy. Perhaps he, on his side, was taken aback a little to meet a middle-aged lady in a cap. After dinner he would not let her leave him, but returned with her to the drawing-room, and she said that he might smoke.
In any case it is still a point in doubt whether the league so projected is to be merely a compact of defensive armament against a common enemy in which case it will necessarily be transient, perhaps ephemeral or a more inclusive coalition of a closer character designed to avoid any breach of the peace, by disarmament and by disallowance and disclaimer of such national pretensions and punctilio as the patriotic sentiment of the contracting parties will consent to dispense with.
It may confidently be counted on that all the apparatus of the law and all the coercive agencies of law and order, will be brought in requisition to uphold the ancient rights of ownership, whenever any move is made toward their disallowance or restriction.
The passionate speech of Patrick Henry in Virginia, in 1763, which made him famous, and was the forerunner of his later appeal, "Give me Liberty or give me Death," related to so prosaic a question as the right of disallowance by England of an act passed by a colonial legislature, a right exercised long and often before that time and to this day a part of the constitutional machinery of the British Empire.
Since then the military force has been increased, and the leaders of the disaffected party have shown a disposition to restrain their followers, and to direct their energies towards the more constitutional object of petitioning the Queen for my recall, and the disallowance of the obnoxious Bill. The proceedings of the House of Assembly will also tend to awe the turbulent.
The attorneys-general of the Crown were constantly called on to examine laws with a view to their veto, and their replies have been collected in Chalmers's "Opinions," a storehouse of material concerning the relations of the colonies with the home government. The process of disallowance was slow.
But this is what providence of itself cannot do; it cannot without the precept discover either God's allowance or disallowance.
