Miscellaneous. CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. f"!T E, the undersigned, believing the state V\ of public affairs in this colony to be full of peril : —that the war at present existing will email additional burdens on the people, alrea *y taxed to the u'moat limit ; — that, tho present excessive taxation paralyses the best efforts of the colonists, and prevents intending emigrants from coming to these shores, and believing, also, thut <he Colonial Government and the General Assembly, as constituted, can neither legislate for, nor ad mi> ister satisfactorily, the uffuirs of the colony— Hereby form ourselves into AN ASSOCIATION, with the following objects in view :— To return Member* to the House of Representatives pledged to vote against war expenditure for the subjugation of the native race. To collect and diffuse statistical information, and endeavour, by public meetings and all other lawful means, to induce the people of both Islands to petition her Majesty and the Imperial Parliament to rev ice the Constitution, and thereby obtain separate legislatures for the Northern and Middle It-lands, with a Federal Congress for the establishment of a Customs Tariff; the maintenance of the public credit by payment of interest and sinking fund on Colonial Loanß ; the management of the Marine Postal Services ; and providing for and conducting external defence.
