jlttscellaiTCfjxiS0 E. ) W. STAFFORD, ESQ., Superintendent of the Province of Nelson, gin — ?(\r c) the undersighed Electors of the Town of Nelson, request that you will allow yourself to bo nominated for a seat in the House of Representatives. In soliciting you to come forward as a candidate for an office which must withdraw you for a certain time from the Province, and the duties of which must i necessarily add considerably to your labours, we feel 1 that we aro inviting a sacrifice on the .part of the 1 community generally, to whom your absence may be productive of some inconvenience, as well as to your1 self, by seeking to impose on you an additional and . onerous office. But, whilo we anticipate on the part , of the Province a ready acquiescence in our request, [ from the important service your presence in the House ' of Representatives would be likely to render, so on \ your own part, that zeal for the public welfare which you have ever evinced, leads us to believe that you 1 would not be unwilling to undertake the important ' task of personally advocating our interests in the par- ! liament of the colony, if elected thereto by tho sufs frages of your fellow settlers. 1 We cannot bo insensible to the critical position in i which tin's colony now stands. The institutions I which have been conceded to us are now for tho first time practically to be put on trial, and we view it as of the utmost importance that at this juncture our ! Representatives in the General Assembly should, \ from principle, no less than from inclination, be men who are both willing and able to Bupport as well as give force to our Constitution Act. Looking, also, to ' the perplexing financial questions which have arisen ' between the Provinces and tho General Government, ' tho withdrawal of largo portions of our revenue, r whereby the funds available for public works arc most 1 ruinously diminished, and to the opportunities which 5 your office of Superintendent of Nelson have given - you of acquiring an intimate acquaintance with tho 1 circumstances bearing upon the above, and the claims [ for a refunding of its revenue which this Province is ) entitled to make, we know no one so well qualified , as yourself no assert our pecuniary rights and claim , their enforcement. Wo have the honour to remain, i ' . Sir > 1 Your obedient servants, \ C. Elliott 1 George Aiken Geo. Ridings Joseph Wintorburn D. Moore 1 John Armstrong ' E. Baigentl Joseph Taylor 1 R. K.

Ellidtt, and tho other Electors who have '■ signjed the above Requisition. Gentlemen — I have the honour to acknowledge tho ' receipt of your riquest that 1 should become a candi- « date for a seat in the House of Representatives. : Questions of gpivo importance, arising out of the operation of thoj Constitution Act, the settlement of , which can no longer be postponed, will come under I the consideration of the next Assembly. The task which will necessarily devolve upon your re- | presentatives, hi tjhe endeavour to effect such an adjust- , menfc of these questions as may be alike consonant , with justice andlonducive to your prosperity, is aug- , moated by the I circumstance that with respect to [ some of them your interests aro in opposition to those of other portions pf the colony. j In complying, therefore, with your request on the present occasion, 111 1 am aware that I am likely, if 3 elected, to impose on myself no inconsiderable addi3 tion to the amount of public duties which now claim 5 my attention. THe terms of your Requisition, however, which is so numerously and influentially Bigned, • preclude me from refusing to assist in removing, if 1 possible, those obstacles to the progress of the pror vince to which youlallude. f It remains for me to observe, that previous to my , election as Superintendent, I declared that it was not 1 my intention to became a candidate for a seat in the . House of Representatives. Although I believe it may fairly be inferred from your present request, and from the fact that I have received a similar invitation from the electors of two other constituencies, that whatever I might previously havi been the opinion of some of the ; electors on this question their sentiments have under- ! gone a change, I cannifc consent to incur the imputation of having ignored a public declaration ; I have ' therefore determined tt> resign that office, in order to r place myself hi the same position in which I was previous to making that declaration, s I remain, Gentlemen, with great respect, Your obedient servant, [ E. W. Statford. Nelson, 24th October, 1855. EDUCATION. MRS. BURY would be glad to RECEIVE a few YOUNG LADIES to INSTRUCT in ■ the usual branches of Education. / 1 Particulars can be had on application.
