GENTLEMEN,— When you did roe the honor six months ago of choosing mc as one of your Representatives in the Provincial Council, neither of us anticipated so abrupt a termination of the connection between us as the enlargement of the Council has rendered necessary. My impression certainly was that 1 had entered into your service for the usual period of existence allotted to that branch of the legislature, and if such was also your impression, and you are wishful to renew our coimection, I beg to place my services at your command. I trust I may be excused the necessity of making a personal canvass. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful servant, JOSEPH BRITTEN. Linwood, March 28, 1862.
