BROTHER "O LECTORS.— As tbe Election Lii of Members for the General Assembly will shortly take place, I beg to lay before you a series of questions to be put to those gentlemen wb6 may be desirous of looking after your interests in the House of Representatives. Most of these que:tions arc 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 y lawful, or strictly necessary ? 4. — Do you hold tbe duties of a Member of the . House of Representatives to consist in protecting tbe pockets, morals, trade, rights, and liberties of his constituents and the country • against Ministers, or in haying ■opinions upon abstract subjects ? 5. — Do you conceive the business of a Minister to be the eniorcing of the Jaws that exist, or the making of new ones ? 6. — Do you hold the duties pf a Member to con- " sist in tbe enquiry into grievances with a view to their redress, or in uniting himself to a party ? 7. — Do you hold that a Member reqnires any qualifications, such as the knowledge of Constitutional Law, and of the transactions in which the Government involves the country ? And are you possessed of that know- . ledge ? 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 the attendance of every member in his place . whilst business is being carried on ? 10. — Will you, on the proposal of new measures, convene^your constituents, submit such measures to ttyenvand.be -guided by -..their decision thereoitin'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 abolishing 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, but to supervise and to control in regard '- his acts ? '^ 14.— Will you hold yourself to be commissioned to represent, not the' opinions of any classi but the grievances and wants of yoiir constituents ; and, , as a juryman, bound in your conscience to give a true verdict in all matters submitted to you ? 15.— D0 yoti hold. the functions of a Minister to / consist in tlie introduction of speculative / of legislation, or in.the administra- (• Hon, oft the Colony ?._.'; And will -*vbu resist * - everyTlegislative proposal emanating from ;: . the Goyernm en t, on the «roun£s .that it is: a. • falsificaticn of .their- duties-^njdfconsequently \ ■ *;a.normaf*db3.truction of public^business ? .*..- --16. — Will you ''«fitrennously exert yourself to get. the nefarious Pension Act abolished ? • ,. - 2126 ; -'"\ .-:' 'AN ELECTOR / _: 1_ — y- — __4. ■— : . : ■' ' ■ "-_ — .
