Gentlemen, — I thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me, and. have much pleasure in permitting myself to b% nominated for a seat jin the Provincial Councils. : .. . . . ... With regard to- my poliiacaF views; I may mention, that I think the speedy settlement" r 6f the country districts by an industnbus population, and the opening up of internal corny iumcaf ion,are in this ■ Province, as in ev^ry' other colony, of the first consequence. The. new Land Eeg'ii* lations, by raising the price of land,'appear to me more likely to' retard than' to facilitate the attainment of these, objects. - I shall ttJ therefore! ..if elected, give my support to any measure haying for its end" the' reduction of the "increased price of land. --'•" I regard the present "system of assisted immigration as unsound, ajidUotaUy-ihappKcable to the condition of the Province^ ; -uhao'onii, :; inaa-' much as no: inducement is-held but idTthb immigrant to' settle ; and, inapplicable, -.^because \'M& Province! cannot now- afford xtb^pay- in- morier^. proportion of the passage of immigrants wEmb' ' settlement as uncertain ; a i system-by-wniclt-Tth* agricultural class of immigranta who pay^iheir own passages hither may" obtain land free of cost, .but 7 upon conditions i^which^-wiuldceifiuro' their settlement am6ng;.uai would, I thml^ebiJK duce much to tix^^EO^eMgjriof -the Brbvincei a»i therefore wouMre^i^i^sj^^ttt r -i-'vj-O , ; °IShbuid,Wele^^; assist ia &^effqr£w^ch J may b 6 ' in"fei?fe2s>foV~ remdviog '.^^.iKe bunjgusoitts - tasatibn «atier which-' tfib^^^ ; iuiia6j^Kite^o|^|^jV Trbyinit'e.now suffer!" - .■; " 1. . ;/ ~ •r-X-'^—cr'iySr v I^h^bejha^pp^on^a^foiS^.^ you i, any ~,"fur Oxer ;^^bmtionf\n^s^M^':tO'jniy" pljTiticai'viewSj'wlnun/you'inay i->-j» s v : -' - : ; ' : '*-?"^^^^'fe^^^i^?'^*^"^^!}' ■■ - '- V, .;'.,, i.xour pbadieatSK'vantMWb *^ ':C a, +A»-- *->*;■ - '■■■' . - • -■ — ■ -^ '^ , ;? .; _ . .... s »'**..%, *-• v«»f . a-*- « *■**■ >— ». ■ . ■- v . .
