TQROTIIER TT7I LECTORS —As the Election JL> Jli of Members for the General Assembly will shortly take place, I beg to lay gefore you a series of questions to be put to those bentleraen who may be desirous of looking after your interests in the House of Representatives. Most of these questions are selected from a number carefully drawn up by a Committee of intelligent men in England, who had made themselves well acquainted with the laws of their country. 1. — Will you bind yourself to accept from no Minister place, promise, or favor of whatever description, or to iook for such ? 2. — Wiil you oppose every measure for the increase of Customs, and use your best endeavours to lessen or abolish them, and will you seek to establish taxation on the scale of property ? 3. — Do yiu bind yourself to resist by every means every vote of money incurred or to be incurred for purposes that arc not strictly lawful, or strictly necessary ? 4, Bo you hold the duties of a Member of the House of Representatives to consist in protecting the pockets, morals, trade, rights, and liberties of his constituents and the country against Ministers, or in having opinions upon abstract subjects ? s.— Do you conceive the business of a Minister to be the eniorcing of the laws that exist, or the making of new ones ? 6. — Do you hold the duties of a Member to consist in the enquiry into grievances with a view to their redress, or in uniting himself to a party ? 7, — Do you hold that a Member requires any qualification, such as the knowledge of Constitutional Law, and of the transactions in which the Government involves the country ? And are you possessed of that knowledge ? 8. — Can you declare, on your honor as a gentle man, that you will, nn every occasion, without tear or favor, pursue every doubtful caie to its issue, ami enforce reparation when wrong has been done ? 9. Will you clo all you can to enforce the attendance of every member in his place whilst business is being carried on ? 10. — Will you, on the proposal of new measure?, convene your constituent?, submit such measures to them, and be guided; by their decision thereon in any vote which you give ? 11, — Will you resist any and every attempt to tamper with trial by jury, either by accepting the verdict of the majority, or by abclishing the grand jury ? 12 —Will you try every means to exclude placemen from the House of Representatives ? 13,_ Will you hold the Minister to be the person whom you are sent neither to support nor oppose, because of his opinions, bjt to supervise and to control in regard to his acts ? 14 —Will you hold yourself to be commissioned to represent, not the opinions of any class, but the grievances and wants of your constituents ; and, as a juryman, bound in your conscience to give a true verdict in all matters submitted to you ? 13— Do you hold the functiuns of a Minister to consist in the introduction of speculative measures of legislation, or in the administi ation of the Colony ? And will you resist every legislative proposal emanating from the Government, on the grounds that it is a falsification cf their duties, and consequently a normal obstruction of public business ? 16.— Will you strenuously exert yourself to get tVe nefarious Pension Act abolif-hed ? 2126 AN ELECTOR.
