To the Electors of the Province of Welson. p ENTLEMEN—The period is now fast -^ advancing when you will ba called upon to exercise your privileges in the choice of a Superintendent and a Provincial Council. A variety of causes and reasons have conduced to the determination on ray own part to offer myself as a candidate for the office of Superintendent. It is quite evidential die future advancement of this province must arise principally from its mineral resources. Several years have elapsed since gold was first discovered at Coliingwood, and every year since has added a knowledge of fresh sources of wealth, until it becomes evident that the province is full of the material elements of great prosperity. I confess 1 am both surprised and astonished at the very small degree of good'that has hitherto accrued to the province from the vast resources I know it to contain ; and when I reflect on the apathy shown botli by the Provincial Gouneil and the Executive, as evinced in the sossionjust closed, I arrive at what appeal's to mo to be the on:y just conclusion—that up to this ! time,you have been directed by men unequal to the J circumstances and the times; men who neither know • what ought to be done or how to do it. I Jtio not take the present step hastily or unadvisedly. For some time past I have been solicited to do so, and { received voluntary offers of support; and, after maI turelv considering the subject, I am inclined to comply with the suggestion, because 1 see no hope or possibility of a change of measures without a change ofmen. I have now lived long enough in Nelson to be well known to the electors of the province, and 1 believe it is generally accorded to me that I take a lively interest in all that concerns its material progress and welfare. As to my qualification to fill the gap already made, it does not become me to assume, yet I may be permitted to say I have passed the long period of forty years in those particular pursuits, the nitiungetnent of Which ara the particular requirements to the advancement of the province to a high degree of prosperity, and I look forward to the result of the day of election for the confirmation of this belief; and, should I attain to the honorable position I aspire to, my best energies shall be taxed to bring about a beneficial change in the present state of stagnation. I look upon it as unwise, and therefore improper, in a candidate for any office t" load his pretension with promise?, and therefore only add that it would bo my constant study to promote the interests of all classes, mercantile, agricultural, and mineral, without partiality or prejudice, and that I adopt as my motto. " The greatest amount of good to the greatest number of people.'' 769 WILLIAM LONG WREY. tSobenunenf fjotkes, Provincial Secretary's Office, Nelson, June 28th, 1861.
