(^.ENTLEMEN— You will probably hava already learnt that I am a candidate for tha Superintendentship of this province. My idea of, the responsibilities, and 'of the duties attaching to that office, may be partly gathered from the proceedings at the nomination; but 1 trust to ba able to meet the electors in the several home districts, and enter with more fulness'on the subject. As however, I cannot hope to find time to visit the remote portions of. the province, I .avail .myself of this meana of briefly statihsr-Vi ith what; views I should, if elected, undertake that onerous office,"*-'' Although not estimating sp;highly, as many are disposed to do, the influence of the Superintendent in creating or retarding Provincial progress, on the other hand, I deem it a great, mistake to suppose that the functions of a Superintendent are unimportant or chiefly of a negative character. Many active duties devolve on the Executive of an infant province, which have no parallel in those of the Government of an old settled country. It is justly required of a Government such as ours not only to remove obstruc- - lions from indnsti ial progress, hut also to initiate measures of various kinds,~directly tending to its development.' Among the duties of a Superintendent ate the devising measures for the extension of the settlement; the creation of new centres of population ; the origination of new lines of comjiiunicstion; the 6iiggefction of means whereby the vajfgationftl States, the Waste lands of the country, wli'efner agricultural, pastoral, of..mineral, may be most readily made to promote the general prosperity. 1 should think it my chief duty, therefore, to visifc,and, as far as possible;-to- airive, at an intimate ac- . quairitance with, the whole^terntoiy within the limits of the province, so as to be enabled to organise plans for the extension of the settled pnnions, or for the improvement of the unsettled portions of the province;' to form a Just estimate of the various suggestions of others: to recommend a just division and expenditure of the Provincial funds, so far as the\ are devoted to that purpose, on the various public works;; to be enabled to judge of the relative weight of tha numberless claims on the public purse; and generally, how best to extend the population and revenues of the country, and how to turn $iie-existing-revenues to the ju.-test and wisest account ....... The various materials of wealth and prosperity lie in all directions around us; and we require capital and labor to develope them. The introduction of both 1 rests in a 'arge measure on the Executive; that of the | first by giving every just facility to those wiliiug to 1 invest-their capital among us, and of the second by the adoption and pursuance, as the needs of the settlempnt demand, of a judicious scheme of Immigration. The capitalist might thus be encouraged to look for aremunerative field for his capital, while the working man would still enjoy a field for his labors more abundant than the present and, at the least, equally remunerative. Now that the Gold-fields have been again brought, to some extent, under the Provincial management, I should make it n first duty, ?n the event of my election, to become acquainted with these most important and promising centres of industry and wealth. The duties above indicated, in connection with the ordinary routine of carrying into execution^tho will of the Legislature, evidently demands the whole thoughts and energies of whomsoever may fi;l th& office .of Superintendent, as well as the whole of his tune. 11" called on, I will undertake to devote myself honestly and heartily to the work before me. It. was my resolve and hope that this election sh mid' have been conducted as becomes reputable and rational men in the quiet and intelligent exercise of a grave political right., hinee, however, it has already begun to be niarkedJij' sotne-of those scandals which, are usually the disgraceful concomitants of a- popular election, the imputation of motives and opinions dis-avowed-by, and perhaps, utterly unworthy of him to whom they are attributed, I would claim as a right, that the test of probability should be applied to any disparaging report which may be put in circulation respecting myself, how far its truthfulness is borne out by my oharacter and whole previous career, and how far the source from which it conies is reliable and trustworthy.
