BROTHER T7l LECTORS —As the Election Hi 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 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 look for such ? \2. — Will you oppose eve ry measure for the in- \ crease of Customs, and use your best en- \ deavours to lessen or abolish them, and will you seek to establish taxation on the scale of property ? 3. — Do y-)u bind yourself to resist hy every moans 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 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 con- '; sist 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 Lp w, and of the transactions i in which the Government involves the counI trv ? And are you possessed of that knowledge ? 8. — Can you declare, on your honor as'a gentle man, that you will, on every occasion, with- :' out 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 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 abolishing the grar.d jury. 12,^-Will you try every means to exclude place- ' inen 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 he 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 th'e introduction of speculative measures of legislation, or in the administration of the Colony ? And will you resist every legislative proposal emanating from the Government, on the grounds that it is a falsification of their duties, and consequently a normal obstruction of public business ? 16.--— Will you strenuously exert yourself toget ■-vthe nefarious Pension Act abolished ? 2126 5 AN ELECTOR RED* TTOUSE, RED HOUSE, RED XI • HOUSE, Bridge-street 1 The Cheapest House in Town for New FURNITURE, Feather Bells, Pillows, and Mattresses.
