ROUT, HARE, BUTTON, and the other Gentlemen signing the Requisition Gentlemen, — I thank you for the'^'honor you have conferred upon me, and have much pleasure in permitting myself to be nominated for a seat in the Provincial Councils. With regard to my political views, I ms.j mention, that I think the speedy settlement of the country districts by an industrious population, and the opening up of internal communication, are in this Province, as in every other colony, of the first consequence. The new Land Regulations, by raising the price of land, appear to me more likely to retard than to facilitate the attainment of these objects. I shall therefore, if elected, give my support to any measure having for its end the reduction of the increased prico of land. I regard the present system of assisted immigration as unsound, and totally ihapplicable to the condition of the Province ; unsound, inasmuch as no inducement is held out to the immigrant to settle ; and, inapplicable, because the Province cannot now afford to pay in money a proportion of the passage of immigrants whose settlement is uncertain ; a system by which ths agricultural class of immigrants who pay their own passages hither may obtain land "free oF cost, but upon conditions which would ensure their settlement among us, would, I think, conduce much to the prosperity of tha Province, and therefore would receive my support. I Should, if elected, assist in any effort which may be made for removing the burdensorna taxation under which the inhabitants of the Province now suffer. I shall be happy on a future occasion to giva you any further information with regard to mj political viewi, which you may desire. I hare the honor to be, G-entlemaa, Your obedient Servant. THOS. M.
