ELECTORS OF THIS J-J PROVINCE. Will the pretence of consulting your opinions and interests once in five yean only.' reconcile yon to the return of members who, for the remainder of the term, after their election utterly abandon you? Shall those who admit that there are no interests to advocate—except those of party and place—obtain your confidence, to the exolusion of fully as wise, whose experiencelias not been corrupted by official or improper habits, and who are honest and independent? Shall those who ignore Independent Legislation and totally forget the purpose for which they are elected, have another opportunity allowed to neglect your cause in either serving themselves or rendering themselves ridiculous? An opportunity will soon be afforded for electors to use their prerogatives wisely, prospectively as well as for the present moment, by the^ return of men whose independence of mind and unselfishness of purpose may be fully relied upon.

Gentlemen—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your requisition inviting me to become a candidate for the representation of the Electoral district of Motaekn. If I consulted my own interests I should respectfully decline the honor you offer me; but feeling as I do the battle has now to be fought in the General Assembly, a sense of public duty compels me to accede to a requisition of so large and influential a body of my tellow-colonists who have expressed their confidence in me, and accordingly I consent to be put in nomination as a candidate. 1 beg to assure you that^in complying with your request, I entertain a deep sense of the importance of the duties which I shall be called upon to discharge ; and in the event of my election, you may rely upon my exerting myself to the utmost in opposing political ||trickery, and promoting your inteiests and , those of the colony at large. I trust to have an opportunity before the Election to pat you in possession of my views of past proceedings in the General Assembly. | I am, Gentlemen, Your obliged servant, CHAELES PAEKEB.
