Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nova Scotia and the Durham Mission
Nova Scotia represented by the Yarrzioatli herald and Herbert Huntington. These two streams were merged by joseph Howe in the capital of the province through the Novascotiari, subsequent to 1830, and in the legislative assembly, subsequent to 1837. Through his legislative reviews, editorials, correspondence, and extracts from other papers, Howe educated himself and his readers in political theory and, in the assembly, he strove to consolidate a party that would insist upon the application of those principles to practical politics. Thus, almost a decade before Lord Durham's mission to the Canadas, the two sources of inspiration and power that would ultimately undermine and overthrow the citadel of monopoly and privilege in Nova Scotia had been tapped, the two streams had been united and under the skilful leadership of Howe, were moving steadily and with discernment against that citadel. Therefore it is not unreasonable to suppose that if rebellion had not broken out in the Canadas Nova Scotians would have been able to obtain the fullest measure of local responsible government almost a decade earlier than they finally obtained it: for. The rebellions not only gave a new lease of life to the various family compacts in the colonies but they also caused the imperial government to withhold the boon of self-government from those in_ whom they hitherto had confidence, because they had lost faith in the others despite the clear-cut recommendations of Lord Durham, their lord high commissioner.
