GENTLEMEN, The tiiss- lsiticm of the Provincial Council wiii slier: iy . e■casion a vacancy in the office of Superii'K'iHent of this province. Mr. Fitz Gerald lias declared that it is not his intention to present himself for re-election. Under these circumstance?. I have, after mature consideration, determined to offer myself as a candidate for the forthcoming election.

' I am among the number of those who
