He knows well the want, of the district, and can »»sk Jor thrm, and shrink from no means of oktaii.ing his object in a.jurt form.

I would th-reforo point out to the electors that there is no tirue f lose if thej intend to bring out, as I sincerely trust tbry will do, a man of th« people. I, tot one, don't care about being represented by big men. They mostly hay* enough to go to represent themselves to be able to do much for their constituents. Ghv» me a well to do, intelligent •ctire, independent minded working settlor, whose n-iociationi and feelings are identical witli tho«e of the settlers generally, who i«, io f*ct, oao of them. Such a man has no little game to work either with the Ministry or the opposition.

This is the sort of ma* will have my yoto and the yotas I guess of nuny another too. Mr McMinn is, it i* said, coming forward and so i* Mr Roch«. The former is noc half a bad man, though I believe there are better fish in the sea yet. At any rate 'l would advise my brother elector! not to rashly pledge themttlye*. but if they can to obtain an honest, intelligent, painaUki/ig representative, and above all, if possible one from — " Thi Lowxb Fit*."
