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

The subject, however, though looked upon with favor by the country, and though there were no distinct expressions of opposition to it from any party, did not begin to assume its present proportions until last session. Then men of all parties and all shades of politics became alarmed at the aspect of affairs. They found that such was the opposition between the two sections of the Province, such was the danger Of impend ing anarchy in consequence of the irreconcilable differences of Opinion with respect to representation by population between Upper and Lower Canada, that unless some solution of the difficulty was arrived at we would sqer under a suc cession of weak governments, weak in numerical support, weak in force, and weak in power of doing good. All were alarmed at this state Of afiairs. We had election after elec tion, we had ministry after ministry, with the same result. Parties were SO equally balanced that the vote of one member might decide the fate of the administration and the course of legislation for a year or a series of years.
