foa*t. On that occasion I expressed tt some length my views with regard to the position which I hold as Governor of this eclony. I feel that ifc would be bfid taste end oot of place were I now (o repeat at any length or in detail, the remarkfl I then made. I said on that occasion,-— to resome in ons short sentence what I then enunciated in very many,— that notwithstanding tha fact that for many years past I bad exercised, in various parts of the world, power which had no narrow limits, I mos'; fully understood and most thoroughly recognised, the obligations of c constitutional governor : — [CheersJ— - that I was bound in the administration of the affairs of tbis colony to ect upon the nrfvice of Ministers possessing (he confldecce of the Parliament and tbe people of New Zealand. [Cheers.] To that one sert a nce I huve nothiog Jo add. That is as much my belief bow as it ever hag baen. Of course the Governor of such a eolonv as this has a reeponsibility, end it ii sometimes a grave ote ; — ibe rt spoosiMlity of ascertaining whether his Mioieteri for the time being do represent the feelings of Parliament, and whether that Parliament rffleefs the feelingß of the country. Bat when once that is ascertained, fafa coarse is clear — he hus no alternative bat to rccept the advice which is tender^ tn him, whether it ba advice with wfcioh ha conenru or from which in hi» own individual opinion he dissnnt*.

Thcre'ore the Governor's responsibilities, which, ts I said before, *re simply thosa of ascertaining these fact?, are very mcch rfimiimhed ; ao<! I bold *bat once he has ascertained what I hive pointed out, his bo long at he hold* the office of Governor of the colony, ia to act upon (be alvicp tendered to him. Iq m oß t oMeg> o f coarse, he will really aeree with bis advisers ; in others, where he ia in doubt, he will probably conclude that, as better acqaaioted with the country, they have reason • but even if be i'<? clearly of opinion they are -wrong it is his duty (o sccppt their advice, bo matter what his opinion of that a^vioa may be, and even if it be in opposition to hia own views of what ii just, oquitshl-, and moral. [Cheers.] Of coarse I say nothing as to what tbe m»n may deem to touch his own oonBcieno?, or how far he rmy choose to so along with such courser — that is bis "flair, and be has his own remedy. Bnt I say that the duty of a Governor, bo locg as he retains big offioe, is to comply with the advics tendered to him by those who enjoy the confidence "f the Parliament and the people. [Cheers.] And that responsibility, vhat duty, so lone bs I hold the office —be the time longer or shorter — it is my intPn^oo esrupulously to fulfil.
