EROTHER Tp LECTORS— As the Election JL__ 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 who may be desirous ot 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 tnen 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,-rDo 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 bold 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 ?• 5.— -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 qualifications, such as the knowledge of Constitutional Law, and of the transactions in which the Government involves the coun- ! . try ? : 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 fear or favor, pursue every doubtful case **- to its issue, and enforce reparation when wrong has been done ? 9. — Will you do ail you can to enforce the attendance of every member in his place , „ whilst business is being carried on ? 10. — WiU you, on the proposal of new : measures, convene your constitutents, sub- ' mil such measures to them, and be guided by their decision thereon in any votfr-which i \ JO*-"* give -* .
