To the Free and Independent Electors of the Province of Nelson. GE NT L E M E N.—The veiy large amount of support that has been voluntarily offered me. at the ensuing election of Superintendent of the province gives me just hopes of success. That I may not be prejudiced by any misrepresentation or misapprehension as to why I do noi make a personal canvass, or appoint agents, or to cjill to aid a committee, I beg to say I do not propose to do either. I look upon all such arts and contrivances as an undue means of interfering with an honest freedom of election; and I therefore forego that which I consider a great abuse. As regards the elector himself I think he should never make a promise to support any candidate, but to go to the poll free and unshackled, and vote according to his honest and unbiassed judgment; it is upon, such principles only that I would accept any office. The election about to take place constitutes a crisis in the progress of the settlement, and just in proportion to the choice you make of a Superintendent and Provincial Council, so you will "go-ahead" and all hands prosper, or you will continue to do as has been done for some years past, " stick in the mud," and cry like the wagoner in the lable to "Jove " to help you out. . I am free to say that very few places in the world ever had more intrinsic merit within it to constitute a most flourishing settlement.. Brighter prospects cannot exist. Never .were prospects.more completely blighted than in the Province or _Nelson v II you reelect men who have proved their incapacity to meet the requirements of the times, you must make up your minds to a repetition of the some do nothing policy. The alternative is to make a change, infuse new blood, elect the undersigned as Superintendent, and don't be humbugged any longer. 70 W. LONG WREY. . INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1862.
