This desire, coupled with the earnest solicitations of my friends, has led me to forego a resolution which I had long formed, viz.: That under no circumstances would I ever again become a candidate for the office of Superintendent. It is impossible, within the limited compass of a newspaper address, to enter minutely into my view 3 upon the various public topics of the day, and I fear that owing to the short period which elapses before the polling day, it will be impracticable to express my views personally in many portions of the Province. As, however, my sentiments, both as a memher of the Colonial Parliament and of the Provincial Council, are pretty generally known ~ this is of the less consequence.
