L- BROADBENT, ESQ-, AND THE GENTLEMEN SIGNING THE REQUISITION. QSXTLSXMX, —I thank you very sincerely for the honor you have done mc in requesting mc to become a candidate for the representation of your district in the Provincial Council, and I have great pleasure in complying with your request. I think the feet of my having a large intereat in the district renders it hardly necessary to aseure you that I shall be always anxious to attend to any suggestions for its benefit, and that 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 upon the great variety of subjects affecting the province generally, which must necessarily engage the attention of the next Provincial Council; but I propose, with a view of affording opportunities for the exposition and discussion of my opinions, to request you to meet mc at such convenient places as will allow of the attendance of all the Electors of the district. I will, however, advert at once to a proposal recently made for reducing the price of hod, because I wish to declare my opposition to it. Ido this, not only because the question is in itself one of the most vital importance, but also because the mere fact of it* having been raised has already, M it appears to mc, done infinite miechief by creating a feeling of doubt and uncertainty in transactions connected with land. I do not indeed believe that the proposal will be ever given 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 the course of event*, 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 b*en the consequence. Still it appears to mc desirable that a matter of such paramount importance' to the future welfare of the province should be brought prominently forward by any for a seat in the Provincial Legislature, in order to elicit an express declaration of opinion on the part of the electors. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, HxsßY Jomr Tahcbtd.

TO THE ELECTORS OP THE CITY OF CHRIST lIUBCH. /~1 EBTLEMEN,—Th* Provincial Council \JT having as yet been only prorogued, I had not intended declaring myself as a for re-election until a dissolution had been formally proclaimed; but finding from the newspapers that several gentlemen are soliciting the honor of representing you in the next Council, I beg to inform you that I shall ask you for a renewal of the confidence you have reposedinmefornow nearly four years, and before the day of nomination shall endeavor personally to wait on you and solicit your votes and interest.
