BROTHER TTUTECTORS— As the Election JJXJ of Members for the Gem ral Assembly will shortly take place, I beg to lay gefore you a series of questions to be put to those bentlemen who may be desirous ot looking nfter your interests in the House of Representatives. Most of these questions sre 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 look for such ? 2. — Will 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 you bind yourself to resist by every means every vote of money incurred or to be incurred for purposes that are not strictly lawful, or strictly necessary ? 4.— Do you hold the duties of a Member of the House of Representatives to consist in protecting the pockets, morals, , trade, rights, and liberties of bis constituents and the country against Ministers, or in having opinions upon abstract subjects ? 5. — Do you conceive the business of a Minister to be the enforcing 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 grievance s with a view to their redress, or in uniting himself to a party ? 7. — Do you hold that a Member requires any qualifications, sucb as the knowledge of Constitutional Law, and of tbe 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, on every occasion, without tear or favor, pursue every doubtful case to its issue, and enforce reparation when wrong has been done ? 9. — Will you do all you can to enforce tbe attendance of every member in his place whilst business is being carried on ? 10. — Will you, on the proposal of new measures, convene your constitutents, submit such measures to thtm, and be guided by their decision thereon in any vote which you give ? II. — Will you resist any and every attempt to tamper with tria! by jury, either by accepting the verdict of the majority, or by abolishing the gra;:d jury. 12. — Will you try every means to exclude placemen from the liouse 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, but 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 ? (15. — Do you hold the functions of a Minister to consist in the introduction of spieu'ative 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 falsificaticn cf their duties, and consequently a noinial obstruction of public business ? 16. — Will you strenuously exert yours-elt to get tie nefarious Pir.sion Act abolished ? 2126 AN ELECTOR,
