Giamjaoar,—l thank you reiy sinoerely for the honor yon have done mc in reqosatjng ma to become a candidate for the repraaentation of your district in tile Provincial Council, and I have great pleasure in complying with your request. I think tbe fact of my having a huge interest in the district renders it hardly necessary to assure you that I shall be always anxious to attend to any suggestions for its benefit, and. tfrat I shall endeavor to promote those purely local objects which do not interfere with the welfare of the province as a whole. - I will not on the present occasion enter npbn the great variety of subjects affecting the province generally, which must necesMrily engage the attention of the next Probut I propose, with a new of aifi&ding opportunities for the exposition and dwrSauon of my opinions, to reoueat you to mart mc at such convenient places is will allow of the attendance of all the Electors of the district. . , t I will, however, advert at once to a proposal recently "made for reducing this price of laodi because I wish to declare my unqualified opposition to it. Ido this, not only because the question is in itself one of the most vital importance, but also because the • mere bet of its having been msed his already, mg ft appears to mc, done infinite mischief by creating a fading of doubt and uncertainty in transactions connected with land. I do not fodeed believe that the proposal will be ever riven effect to, or that it will be entertained by any who, from a lengthened residence in the province, have been in a position to watch tin coarse of events, to observe the steadiness with which the principle embodied in our Land Regulations has been adhered to, and to appreciate the beneficial results which have been the consequence. Still it appears to mc desirable that a matter of such peramount importance to the future welfare of the province should be brought prominently forward by any rwVK'V* for a seat in the Provincial legislature, in order to elicit an express defrtamfr 1 " of opinion on the part of the electors. I have the honor to be, Gentleman, Your obedient servant, Hihbz John Tavcxkd.
