Excerpt from The Library of Oratory, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 9 of 15: With Critical Studies of the World's Great Orators by Eminent Essayists
As has been stated, it was not without a great deal of difii~ culty and reluctance that that government was formed. The gentlemen who compose this government had for many years been engaged in political hostilities to such an extent that it affected even their social relations. But the crisis was great, the danger was imminent, and the gentlemen who now form the present administration found it to be their duty to lay aside all personal feelings, to sacrifice in some degree their position, and even to run the risk of having their motives impugned, for the sake of arriving at some conclusion that would be satisfactory to the country in general. The present resolutions were the result. And, as I said before, I am proud to believe that the country has sanctioned, as I trust that the representatives Of the people in this House will sanction, the scheme which is now submitted for the future government Of British North America.
