introduction of economy info every branch of, the public service, the erection of light houses and public wharfs ; and others still more important, to which, if you do me the honor of electing me, 1 will give my best attention, but which would occupy too much space were I to enlarge upon them in an address like the present; As a general rule, I strongly object to the practice of requiring or giving pledges, I believe it to be unconstitutional and a violation of the Representative principle. I think every member returned; should be sent to the Legislature unfettered, and free to exercise his judgment upon every subject that may come before him, and, that if the Electors have not sufficient confidence in his ability and houesty to discharge the duties required by him, they should pause, before committing so grave and responsible a trust to bis hands. .But having now, for the first time, asked you to.return me, as the- advocate of certain principles, I have no hesitation in saying, that should my opinions on the before mentioned important matters undergo any material change, I should feel bound to place my seat at your disposal, should it be required by a majority of those who returned me. I can only add, that in the personal canvas I purpose making. I shall be happy to give any further explanations of my opinions that may be desired. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, -CHAS. CLIFFORD. Wellington. June 8, 1853.
