keep the canvass as clear of these evils as possible. And now, Gentlemen, it only remains for me to assure you. that, whatever the result of this appeal, I shall be perfectly satisfied with your decision. While I admit most freely that the office of Superintendent of this province may well be regarded as an object of laudable ambition, yet I feel so conscious of the labour, anxiety, and responsibility of the office, as to regard it with much more of apprehension than desire. I have, however, endeavoured to show, that the Government will not rest solely on the' Superintendent, but on him in conjunction with advisers. With this view of the nature of the office, and with the hope that, should you confer it upon me, I shall not fail to secure the assistance of good and able advisers, I respectfully offer myself to you as a candidate for it. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your very obedient and humble servant, JOSEPH BKITTAtf. Linwood, April 3, 1857.
